There are no coastal, ocean, estuarine, or beach and dune resources related to the property or involved in the amendment. Therefore, Statewide Planning Goals 16 through 19 do not apply. The above findings demonstrate that the proposed Metro Plan amendments are consistent with all relevant statewide planning goals. EC 9.7730(3)(b) Adoption of the amendment must not make the Metro Plan internally inconsistent. The proposed Metro Plan diagram amendments are consistent with the remainder of the Metro Plan. No text or other diagram changes are necessary for consistency with this amendment; adoption of these amendments will not make the Metro Plan internally inconsistent. The Metro Plan diagram currently designates the Downtown Plan area for a variety of land uses. The proposed ND designation within the Downtown Plan area on the Metro Plan Land Use Diagram does not affect these base designations. The ND designation will essentially be an overlay 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, as follows: Apply the nodal development strategy in areas selected by each jurisdiction that have identified potential for this type of transportation- efficient land use pattern (#F. 1, page III-F-4). Provide for transit-supportive land use patterns and development, including higher intensity, transit-oriented development along major transit corridors and near transit stations; medium and high-density residential development within ~ mile of transit stations, major transit corridors, employment centers, and downtown areas; and development and redevelopment in designated areas that are or could be well served by existing or planned transit (#F.3, page III-F-5). Within three years of TransPlan adoption, apply the ND Nodal Development designation to areas selected by each jurisdiction, adopt and apply measures to protect designated nodes from incompatible development, and adopt a schedule for completion of nodal plans and implementing ordinances (#F.5, page III-F-5). Other relevant Metro Plan Policies address the conversion of industrially designated land to a non-industrial designation. Discourage future Metropolitan Area General Plan amendments that would change development-ready industrial lands (sites defined as short- Ordinance 1 Exhibit B - 8 C:~Documents and Settings\ceplnxl\Local Settings\Temporary Intemet Files\OLK238\Ordinance 1 - Findings - Exhibit B (00065096-2) I.DOC(02/03/04)
