Eugene Ordinance Exhibit B [Lane County Ordinance Exhibit B] transportation facility, then the local government must put in place measures as provided in section (2) of this rule, unless the amendment is allowed under section (3), (9) or (10) of this rule. A plan or land use regulation amendment significantly affects a transportation facility if it would: (a) Change the functional classification of an existing or planned transportation facility (exclusive of correction of map errors in an adopted plan); (b) Change standards implementing a functional classification system; or (c) Result in any of the effects listed in paragraphs (A) through (C) of this subsection based on projected conditions measured at the end of the planning period identified in the adopted TSP. As part of evaluating projected conditions, the amount of traffic projected to be generated within the area of the amendment may be reduced if the amendment includes an enforceable, ongoing requirement that would demonstrably limit traffic generation, including, but not limited to, transportation demand management. This reduction may diminish or completely eliminate the significant effect of the amendment. (A) Types or levels of travel or access that are inconsistent with the functional classification of an existing or planned transportation facility; (B) Degrade the performance of an existing or planned transportation facility such that it would not meet the performance standards identified in the TSP or comprehensive plan; or (C) Degrade the performance of an existing or planned transportation facility that is otherwise projected to not meet the performance standards identified in the TSP or comprehensive plan. The Metro Plan amendments made by this ordinance are very limited. The amendments add a sentence that refers readers of the Metro Plan to the Envision Eugene Residential Land Supply Study that (by this action) is adopted as an appendix to the Envision Eugene Comprehensive Pan and they inform readers that, through actions taken by this ordinance, the "findings" in the Metro Plan Residential Land Use and Housing Element are no longer applicable within the Eugene. There are no changes to land use designations. Amendments made to the Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan by this ordinance add a paragraph to the "Eugene Urban Growth Boundary" Chapter of the Plan to refer to a new Appendix: the Envision Eugene Residential Land Supply Study. The Eugene Code amendments taken by this action raise the minimum net density allowed in new development in the R-2 zone from 10 to 13 units per acre, with some exceptions. The actions taken by this ordinance do not change the functional classification of a transportation facility or change the standards implementing a functional classification system. Therefore, the amendments do not have a significant effect under (a) or (b). With regard to (c), the only change may appear to have an effect on transportation facilities is the code change to increase in minimum densities for some development in the R-2 zone. In fact, however, the new minimum is within the range already contemplated by the Metro Plan land use designations that apply to R-2 land. Therefore, that action is within the already -modeled expectations for transportation facilities within the Eugene UGB. For these reasons, the actions taken do not significantly affect an existing or planned transportation facility. 19 Final
