Goal 4 - Forest Land: To conserve forest lands. Goal 4 is not applicable to this amendment as the subject parcel and actions do not affect any forest plan designation or use. Goal 4 does not apply within urban growth boundaries; therefore it does not apply to the subject property, which is within Eugene's UGB (OAR 660-006-0020). Therefore, Goal 4 is not relevant and the amendment does not affect the area's compliance with Statewide Planning Goal 4. Goal 5 - Open Spaces.

OAR 660-023-0250 does not require local governments to apply Goal 5 in consideration of a post acknowledgement plan amendment (PAPA) unless the PAPA affects a Goal 5 resource. The subject property does not include any Goal 5 resource site. The proposed amendment does not create or amend a list of Goal 5 resources, does not amend a plan or code provision adopted in order to protect a significant Goal 5 resource or to address specific requirements of Goal 5, and does not amend the acknowledged Urban Growth Boundary. Therefore, the proposed amendment is consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 5. Goal 6 - Air.

The proposal does not amend the metropolitan area's air, water quality or land resource policies. Therefore, the amendment is consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 6.
