of Special Light Industrial (I-1), 1230.78 acres of Light Medium Indu,striaI (I-2) and 254.18 acres of Hea~vy lndUs~al (I-3). The InVentory RePort deten~ined that the area s supply exceeds the projected demaTnd for industrial land - which wa~ estimated to be between 650 and 1,172 acres of light / medium industrial lands (no heavy industrial). This sm~lus of 2,432 to 2, 954 acres is more than sufficient to alloW the potential ~eductio, n o~ up to 40 acres for a hospital development site on industrial lands. Therefore, the ordinance s alloWance of a hospital development site on I-1, I~2 or I- 3 land is consistent with Goal 9. Gpa/I . To provide for the housing needs of citizens of the state. The amendments will allow hospital uses in some residential areas that did not previously allow these uses (R-i, R-l.5 and R-2). In other residential areas, these uses will be permitted (}utright instead of c~nditionally (R-3 and R-4). Related medical uses will also be allowed if they are on the same development sit~ as a hospital. The area's ac~owledged inventory of residential lands (contained in the 1999 Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area Residential Lands and Housing Study Draft Supply and Demand ~ectTmical Analysis) includes an ass'taiPtion that 32 percent of residential land will be used for nonresidential auxiliary' uSes. In discussing this 32 percent, the inventor), document states at page 47: "There are numerous nonresidential uses that locate on residential land such as churches, day care centers, neighborhood commercial,' etc. In addition,, public,, facilities such as streets, schools and parks are necessary to serve residential land. This 32 percent auxiliary area of residential land is also discussed in the area's comprehensive plan. The Metro Plan states: "approximately 32 percent of the area is available for auxiliary uses~, such as streets, elementary and junior high schools, neighborhood parks, other public facihties, neighborhood commercial services, and churches riot actually show~n onthe diagram. Such auxiliary uses shall be allowed within residenti al designations if compatible with refinement plans, zOning ordinances, and other local controls for allowed uses in residential neighborhoods." The types of uses (hospital and related clinics and labs) that this ordinance would permit in resider[tially designated areas are the tYPe ofauxiliary uses that were assmned for the 32 pement. As such, no a~alysis is needed to determine whether the ordinance would reduce the supply of residential lands. It falls within the 32 percent auxiliary area that has been set aside for such uses. Even without reliance on the 32 percent discussed above, the establishment of a hospital and related uses on a residentially designated land would not reduce the area's supply of residential lands below the level needed to meet the projected demands for such lands. As discussed under Goal 9, above, it is reasonable for the City to assume: (1) that no more than one hospital site will locate under the proVisions of this ordinance; and (2) that a hospital development located under the provisions ofth~s ordinance would occupy a site of no more than 40 acres.
