The applicant has provided proposals to minimize conflicts with existing uses within a 1500 foot impact area. See File Record No.1, Original Delta application, Introduction, in the 12 August 2005 application by Delta for a zoning change entitled "Application for amendment of the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan comprehensive plan map and significant aggregate resource site inventory and zone change from EFU to sand gravel and rock products," which contains the following consultants reports: Report on Noise Study (Daly-Standlee & Associates, Inc.) (hereinafter referred to as "Daly-Standlee"or DSA) (Exhibit F); Air Quality Evaluation (Bridgewater Group, Inc., hereinafter referred to as "Bridgewater") (Exhibit G); Flood Impact Evaluation (EGR & Associates, Inc., hereinafter referred to as '"EGR")(Exhibit H); and Digital Model-Groundwater (EGR) (Exhibit I). Proposals to minimize conflicts with existing uses preliminarily identified by the applicant within a 1,500 foot impact area were incorporated into draft conditions of approval by Lane County ((see staff report for November 1,2006 public hearing, Attachment 1, Exhibit C: Lane County draft Ordinance No. PA 1238, Conditions Necessary to Minimize Conflicts). The City Council finds that this requirement has been satisfied, even though, as discussed later in these findings, the council disagrees with the applicant and finds that several of the conflicts are not minimized.. (e) A site plan indicating the location, hours of operation, and other pertillent information for all proposed mining and associated uses. The application includes a site plan indicating the location, hours of operation, and other pertinent information for all proposed mining and associated uses. See File Record No.1, Original Delta application, Introduction, in the 12 August 2005 application by Delta for a zoning change entitled "Application for amendment of the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan comprehensive plan map and significant aggregate resource site inventory and zone change from EFU to sand gravel and rock products." Summary: OAR 660-023-0180(8) provides that an application for approval of an aggregate site shall be adequate if it provides sufficient information to determine whether the requirements in its subsections (a) - ( e) are satisfied. Subsection ( c) requires a traffic impact assessment within one mile of the entrance to the mining area pursuant to section (5)(b )(B) of the rule. The City finds that the applicant failed to provide such a traffic impact assessment. As such, if the site were a significant resource, the application would not be adequate, and, if OAR 660-023-0180(8) operates as an approval criterion, the application would be denied on this basis. Since other bases for denial follow, the City does not rely solely on this determination. OAR 660-023-180(2)(b) -- Local governments shall apply the criteria in section (3) or (4) of this rule, whichever is applicable, rather than OAR 660-023-0030(4), in determining whether an aggregate resource site is significant. The applicant submitted information to address OAR 660-023-180(3). The criteria in OAR 660- 023-180( 4) are not applicable. Step 2 Determine if the resource site is significant OAR 660-023-180(3) -- An aggregate resource site shall be considered significant if adequate information regarding the quantity, quality, and location of the resource demonstrates that the Exhibit A to Ordinance 20413 - 7
