E~hibit B Findings of Consistency of West Eugene Wetlands Plan Amendments with Refinement Plan Araendment Criteria The West Eugene Wettands Plan was adopted as a refinement plan to the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General PIan (Metro Plan) by the Eugene City Council and Lane County Board of Commissioners in 1992. The West Eugene Wetlands Plan was amended by these oftlcials in 1995~ 1998, 1999 and 2000. The amendments are incorporated in the November 2000 West Eugene Wetlands Plan. The West Eugene Wetlands Plan is an approved wetland conservation plan as defined in ORS 196.800(15). Approval for the plan as a Wetland Conservation Plan was originally gr~anted by the Oregon Division of State Lands in September 1994. DSL's approval was amended by Final Order 97-003 in September 1997. In 1999~ as required by ORS 196.684~ DSL conducted a five- year review of plan ~mplementation and issued Modified Final Order 99-003. On April 18, 2002, Division of State Lands Final Order 02-001 approved the amended West Eugene Wetlands Plan (November 2000), ~rith conditions, as a Wetland Conservation Plan under ORS 196.678 to ORS 196.684. Generally, conditions relate to Plan reporting and implementation; additional conditions related to Plan amendment and five-year DSL review cite ORS 196.684 requirements. Section 9.8424 of the Eugene Land Use Code and Section 9.145(2) of the Lane Code le Area Land Use and Zoning list the criteria for refinement plan amendments. The Eugene Land Use Code applies within the Eugene City limits; the Lane Code Urbanizable/Xmea Land Use and Zoning applies within the area between the Eugene city' limits and the urban growth botmdary. In the findings below, text from the Eugene Land Use Code is printed in bold; text from the Lane Code Urbanizable Area Land Use and Zoning (where there is comparable text) is printed directly under the Eugene Land Use Code text and is underlined. The findings below demonstrate that the amendments to the West Eugene Wetlands Plan to apply the Planned Transpor~tion Corridor wetland designation to specific properties along the West Eugene Park-~ay Modified Project alignment are consistent with the criteria for refinement plan amendments. The planned transportation corridor policy in the West Eugene Wetlands Plan (%~WP) was analyzed for consistency with the Statewide Planning Goals, all applicable policies from the Metropolitan Area General Plan (Metro Plan) and the remaining policies o£the WEWP at the time of adoption of the policy in 1998. Therefore, site designations that are consistent with the planned transpor~tion corridor policy are considered consistent with the Statewide Planning Goals, Metro Plan and remaining WE~v? policies as well. Even though demonstration of consistency with this WEWP policy would be sufficient to establish consistency with the Statewide Planning Goals and Metro Plan, findings of consistency with the Statewide Plauning Goals and the Metro Plan are provided below to fi. trther establish authority for the proposed amendments.
