amendment to modify the facility's location, given that this amendment does not change those provisions. While the answer may well be "no,mo these provisions of the rule nevertheless are addressed herein in an exemise of caution. However, to the extent this analysis is unnecessary and thus would constitute "surplussage," it should be considered as such. Clearly, the TPR exceptions provisions applicable to the location of the facility apply because the Modified Project involves a location outside of the corridor approved in the 1986 exception. Pursuant to those requirements, exceptions are addressed herein for Goals 3 (Agricultural Lands), 4 (Forest ]2ads) 11 (Public Facilities and Services) and 14 (Urbanization) for that portion of the Modified Project to be located outside the UGB. While most of the affected rural land is agricultural, a very small portion either directly or indirectly affected is designated by Lane County as Forest Land. See Land Use TechnicalReport, Figure 7; SDEI& Figure 3-4. Accordingly, Goal 4 must be addressed. Scope of Analysis and Applicable Statewide Planning Goa Standards As stated above, the WEP has been included in the acknowledged Lane County Rural Comprehensive Plan mad the Metro Plan for many years. It is authorized in the Trak?lam Because the ~p is acknowledged, it should not be necessary for the City or County to readdress goal compliance for the project in iris entirety. However, goal compliance mt~t be demonstrated for th~se ch an~es requiring mendments to the acknowledged plans. This analysis addresses goal compliance issues arising from the shift in the alignment from the Approved Design to the Modified Project in "Unk 2" of the project~ i.e. that portion of the WEP located between Beldine Highway and the western terminus of the project. See SDEIS, Figure 2~2~ ~is is the portion of the project that requires goal exceptions and analysis of alternatives under the TPR. Alignment modifications occurring in Unit 1 of the project generally are beyond the scope of th~s analysis. The land use standards applicable to the Modified Project include the storewide planning goals and OAR 660~012~0060, 660-012-0065, and 660-012-0070~ Because goal exceptions take the form of plan amendments, the Modified Project also must be shown to comply with relevant unamended provisions of the acknowledged Lane County and City of Eugene comprehensive plans. Further, the project must comply with e ' - th ODOT s Oregon H~ghway Plan. This technical memorandum addresses only the Modified ProjecFs compliance with the identified TPR requirements and storewide planning goals. Compliance with the Oregon Highway Plan and applicable comprehensive plans policies is discussed at pages 58~ t 05 of the Larwl Use Technical Report. ~ ~ omp]mnce with the Statew]de Planning Goals Th[s section addresses compliance with Statewide Planning Goals l-t4. Because the Modified Project does not affect the Willamette River Greenway or coastal resources, Goals 15 through 19 do not apply~ Th~ ~ a ~ega] question ~o be addressed by the Department of Justice.
