Exhibit A requirements of Goal 5, and do not amend the acknowledged urban growth boundary. Therefore, the amendment does not affect (a) or (c). In regards to (b), the properties subject to the site-specific land use code amendment do not contain any Goal 5 resources. However, the 1978 Scenic Sites Working Paper and accompanying map, which is a part of the City's adopted significant Goal 5 inventory (see Ordinance No. 20351), identifies Skinner Butte is as a "Scenic Site' (as both a "Vista" and as containing "Prominent and Plentiful Vegetation"). Per OAR 660-023-0230, "scenic views and sites" are lands valued for their aesthetic appearance. Skinner Butte has long been recognized and valued in the community for its aesthetic appearance, which is evidenced by the adoption of the Skinner Butte Height Limitation Area in 1968. Notably, this pre -dates the adoption of Statewide Planning Goal 5 in December 1974. Section 9.6715(1) of the Eugene Code (EC), describes the purpose of height limitation areas as follows: "Certain geographical landmarks have scenic attributes that are of value to the community as a whole. To protect views to and from these landmarks, special limitations on building height are established on and around them." For the reasons detailed below, the amendment does not allow uses that could conflict with the scenic qualities of Skinner Butte. Properties on the south side of 6" Avenue, which are not located within the Skinner Butte Height Limitation Area, have a maximum building height of 150 feet for C-3 Major Commercial zones properties and 120 feet for C-2 Community Commercial zoned properties. The change to allow buildings to reach approximately 110 feet in height along the northern side of 6th Avenue (an increase of about 30 feet, from the current height limit of approximately 80 feet) provides a more gradual transition between the properties located to the south and the properties located to the north of 6" Avenue. The properties to the north of 6" Avenue that are subject to the building height increase are over 1,000 feet from the base of Skinner Butte, and over 1,500 feet from the viewing area at the top of the butte. Given the distance between the subject properties along 6th Avenue and Skinner Butte, the potential impact to the views to and from the butte is minimal. Photos included in the record for this application demonstrate that the amendment will have a minimal impact on the views to and from the butte. The remainder of the height limitation area, which is closer to the butte, will remain in place. The change to the Skinner Butte Height Limitation Area does not conflict with the scenic value of the butte or the viewing of its prominent and plentiful vegetation, and therefore does not allow new uses that could be conflicting uses with a significant Goal 5 resource site. The amendment is consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 5. Goal 6 - Air, Water and land Resource Quality. To maintain and improve the quality of the air, water and land resources of the state. Goal 6 addresses waste and process discharges from development, and is aimed at protecting air, water and land from impacts from those discharges. The amendment does not affect the City's Findings - 3
