Nodal Development designation is part of a larger planning process that has akeady been showxa to comply with the stateWide planning goals. TransPlan id~tifies potential nodal ~tevelopment areas, includes policy directing the implementation of nodal developments and aCtion iter~s to achieve said implementation. The proposed Metro Plan amendment is clearly within the nodal development strategy developed in TransPlan and as acknowledged by the state. Based on the analysis presented above, the proposed Metro Plan amendment is consistent with all relevant statewide planning goals. (b) Adoption of the amendment must not make the Metro Plan internally inconsistent. The Plan Diagram currently designates the subject parcels for a varieLv of land uses. The proposed ND designation on the Metro Plan Land Use Diagram does not afYect these base designations. The ND designation will essentially be an overla:y to the base land use designation. As such, the diagram amendment will serve to augment the current designation by enabling the use of additional implementation tools to guide development consistent with adopted nodal development policies within the Metro Plan. The proposed amendments are also consistent with the adopted policies of TransPlan. Findings related to compliance with applicable TransPlan policies listed under Goal 12 are hereby incorporated as further evidence that the proposed amendment will be internally consistent with the Metro Plan. Given these findings and the fact that no modification to the Metro Plan text is necessary or proposed~ the proposed amendments will not make the Metro Plan internally inconsistenL Concurrent Automatic Amendment to River Road-Santa Clara urban Facilities Plan Land Eugene Code Section 9.7750(41) and Lane Code Section 12.245(4) provides that the Metro Plan diagram amendment automatically amends the refinement plan diagram when required for consistency if no amendment to the refinement plan text is involved. No amendment to the text of the River Road, Santa Clara Urban Facilities Plan and Whiteaker Plan is proposed in these amendments. Adoption of these Metro Plan diagram araendments, therefore, automatically amends the River Road-Santa Clara Urban Facilities Plan land use diagram and Whiteaker Plan land use diagram to make it consistent with the Metro Plan diagram based on findings of consistency with the Statewide Planning Goals and the Metro Plan as set tbah above. E~ad~ngs of Consisten~ with Zone Change Criteria The Eugene City Council will apply the following criteria from Eugene Code Section 9.8865 to the proposed zone change to apply the/ND Nodal Development overlay zone: The proposed change is consistent with applicable provisions of the Metro P!an. The v~Tit~ten text of~e Metro Plan shall take precedence over the t¥l_e_~ Plarl diagram where apparent conflicts or inconsistencies exist. The proposed Zone change is consistent with applicable adopted refinement plans. In the event of inconsistencies between these plans and the Metro Pl~., the Metro Exhibk C - 9
