Eugene Ordinance Exhibit B [Lane County Ordinance Exhibit B] The City has also established a growth monitoring program. See policies 10.8-10.12 of the Administration and Implementation chapter of the Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan. Through that program, the City will provide information to the community and decision makers so that both may periodically assess the validity of growth planning assumptions and the effectiveness of the City's growth management strategies, such as the level of development activity and the development density achieved by housing type referred to in this provision. (8) (a) A local government outside a metropolitan service district that takes any actions under subsection (6) or (7) of this section shall demonstrate that the comprehensive plan and land use regulations comply with goals and rules adopted by the commission and implement ORS 197.295 to 197.314. As explained above, subsection (6), allows a City to address a shortage of residential land by amending its comprehensive plan and land use regulations "to include new measures that demonstrably increase the likelihood that residential development will occur at densities sufficient to accommodate housing needs for the next 20 years without expansion of the urban growth boundary." In fact, Statewide Planning Goal 14 requires that cities take actions under (6) if possible. Goal 14 prohibits cities from expanding their UGBs unless they have demonstrated that their citizens' needs cannot be reasonably accommodated on land already inside the UGB. The City of Eugene has taken such actions under (6). This Findings document demonstrates (or directs the reader to the demonstration) that those (6) comprehensive plan and land use regulations comply with the Statewide Planning Goals and rules adopted by LCDC. The next several pages of findings demonstrate that the actions taken under (6) also implement ORS 197.295 to 197.314. (b) The local government shall determine the density and mix of housing types anticipated as a result of actions taken under subsections (6) and (7) of this section and monitor and record the actual density and mix of housing types achieved. The local government shall compare actual and anticipated density and mix. The local government shall submit its comparison to the commission at the next periodic review or at the next legislative review of its urban growth boundary, whichever comes first. The actual density and mix of housing types at the commencement of the planning period (2012) are set out in section 3.6.1 of the HNA (Part II of the Residential land Supply Study). The needed / anticipated density and mix of housing types over the 20 -year planning period, as a result of the (6) efficiency measures taken, are set out in section 3.6.2 of the HNA. See findings under (6)(b), above regarding the City's monitoring plan. (9) In establishing that actions and measures adopted under subsections (6) and (7) of this section demonstrably increase the likelihood of higher density residential development, the local government shall at a minimum ensure that land zoned for needed housing is in locations appropriate for the housing types identified under subsection (3) of this section and is zoned at density ranges that are likely to be achieved by the housing market using the analysis in subsection (3) of this section. Actions or measures, or both, may include but are not limited to: (a) Increases in the permitted density on existing residential land; (b) Financial incentives for higher density housing; 13 Final
