<br />standards applied by LRAP A. Neither planning commission conducted further ESEE analysis <br />because none had been provided by the applicant. <br /> <br />Eugene Planning Commission voted 3-2 that the conflict could not be minimized, and Lane <br />County Planning Commission voted 3-2 with one abstention. <br /> <br />For reasons explained in more detail under Goal 5 findings, we find that potential dust conflicts <br />from the proposed mining of the expansion area have not been minimized and, therefore, this <br />application is not consistent with Goal 6 regarding air quality. <br /> <br />Statewide Planning Goal 7 <br />To protect life and property from natural disasters and hazards. <br /> <br />The proposed expansion area is partially located within an un-numbered A zone of the <br />Willamette River flood plain as illustrated on the federal Flood Area Insurance Rate Map <br />(FIRM) (Panel 1126 of 2975, effective June 2, 1999). It is located immediately west of a <br />Flood Insurance Study (FIS) area that has defined floodways and base flood elevations of the <br />Willamette River. <br /> <br />Because the floodway for the Willamette River is determined to be substantially east of the <br />expansion area, the FIS has determined through definition of the floodway that the expansion <br />area could be completely obstructed without increasing the water-surface elevation of the <br />100-year flood more than one foot at any point. <br /> <br />All mining activity proposed for the expansion area would occur as excavation taking place <br />below existing ground surfaces. Overburden would be removed and stockpiled in areas with <br />elevation higher than base flood elevations or in areas currently below existing ground <br />elevations. That mining methodology will preclude the need for sound berms or flood <br />containment berms that could impede flood flows across the expansion area. Berms <br />associated with the construction of the aquaclude will be temporary in nature and will be <br />removed by returning the material to the area of the aquaclude as construction occurs or prior <br />to anticipated heavy rain events. <br /> <br />Therefore, we find that the proposed use of the expansion area would be consistent with the <br />purpose and intent of Goal 7. <br /> <br />Statewide Planning Goal 8 <br />To satisfy the recreational needs of the citizens of the state. <br /> <br />We find that there has been a legislative determination by the Metro jurisdictions through its <br />comprehensive planning process, as implemented by the Metro Plan diagram, that the subject <br />property is not designated for recreational facilities or opportunities. Identified recreational <br />needs have been provided for on other sites within the Metro urban area. Therefore, we find that <br />the proposed amendments would be consistent with Goal 8. <br /> <br />Statewide Planning Goal 9 <br />To diversify and improve the economy of the state. <br /> <br />Goal 9 is primarily focused on commercial and industrial development within urban areas. <br />To the extent that the goal is applicable to the application, we find that both the existing <br />agricultural use and the proposed use of the expansion area would contribute to the economy <br />of the Metro area through the employment of persons and by providing the natural resource <br />for construction, both of which contribute to the economic health of the state of Oregon. <br /> <br />Therefore, we find that approval of the application would be consistent with the intent and <br />purpose of Goal 9. <br /> <br />Exhibit A to Ordinance 20413 - 28 <br />
