Exhibit A ability to provide for clean air, water or land resources. Therefore, Statewide Planning Goal 6 does not apply. Goal 7 -Areas Subiect to Natural Disasters and Hazards. To protect life and property from natural disasters and hazards. Goal 7 requires that local government planning programs include provisions to protect people and property from natural hazards such as floods, landslides, earthquakes and related hazards, tsunamis and wildfires. The Goal prohibits a development in natural hazard areas without appropriate safeguards. The amendment does not affect the City's restrictions on development in areas subject to natural disasters and hazards. Further, the amendment does not allow for new development that could result in a natural hazard. Therefore, Statewide Planning Goal 7 does not apply. Goal 8 - Recreational Needs. To satisfy the recreational needs of the citizens of the state and visitors, and where appropriate, to provide for the siting of necessary recreational facilities including destination resorts. Goal 8 ensures the provision of recreational facilities to Oregon citizens and is primarily concerned with the provision of those facilities in non -urban areas of the state. The amendment does not affect the City's provisions for or access to recreation areas, facilities or recreational opportunities. Therefore, Statewide Planning Goal 8 does not apply.

The amendment does not impact the supply of residential buildable land. No land is being re- designated from residential use to a nonresidential use, and the amendment does not otherwise diminish the amount of lands available for residential use. Instead, the Skinner Butte Height Limitation Area amendment increases the capacity of existing commercially zone land, by increasing the potential number of dwelling units that could be built. Accordingly, the amendment does not impact the supply or availability of residential lands included in Findings - 4
