facilities. Currently, SDC methodologies charge new development only for the City’s portion of the arterial-collector system. The intent of this policy, as described in Transplan, is for the City to consider additional system development charges to mitigate onsite or adjacent impacts. To the extent that this policy is applicable to the proposal, development resulting from the proposed amendment would be subject to SDCs. Refinement Plan Amendments Eugene Code Section 9.8424 requires that the following criteria (in bold and italic ) be applied to a Refinement Plan amendment. (1)(a) The refinement plan amendment is consistent with the Statewide planning goals. The findings under EC 9.7730(3)(a), above, are incorporated herein by reference. (1)(b) The refinement plan amendment is consistent with the applicable provisions of the Metro Plan. Applicable provision of the Metro Plan are evaluated under EC 9.7730(3)(b), above with respect to the proposed refinement plan amendments and Metro Plan amendment. The proposed refinement plan amendments are consistent with the applicable policies contained in the Residential Land Use and Housing Element, with the Economic Element and with the Transportation Element of the Metro Plan. (1)(c) The refinement plan amendment is consistent with the remaining portions of the refinement plan. The Willakenzie Area Plan diagram amendment to re-designate 6.89 acres of land from Special Light Industrial (shown as Campus Industrial on the Coburg-Crescent Subarea map) to Medium Density Residential is consistent with the remaining portions of the refinement plan. The applicant provided detailed findings regarding how the Willakenzie Area Plan text and diagram amendments are consistent with the policy direction contained in the Willakenzie Area Plan. Those policies found to be applicable to this request are addressed below. Although the applicant addressed additional Willakenzie Area Plan policies and text than those listed below, they are not directly relevant to the amendments or do not constitute mandatory approval criteria with respect to the proposal. However, to the extent that they may be applicable, the applicant’s findings are incorporated herein by reference as further findings that the amendments are consistent with the remaining portions of the Willakenzie Area Plan. Coburg/Crescent Subarea Policies and Proposed Actions The City shall allow for a gradual transition from existing residential to future industrial use for those areas along Old Coburg Road that are currently zoned residential but are industrially designated. (Policy 4) These proposed amendments are not inconsistent with this policy. Policy 4 allows for a gradual transition from residential to industrial uses. Designation of the subject property for medium density residential would make the policy inapplicable in the event re-designation is approved, as it will not be industrially designated.
