The Administrative Rule for Statewide Planning Goal 9 (OAR 660, Division 9) requires cities to evaluate the supply and demand of commercial and industrial land relative to community economic objectives. The Eugene Commercial Land Study and the Metropolitan Industrial Lands Inventory and Policy Reports are acknowledged for their compliance with the requirements of Goal 9 and its Administrative Rule. The Downtown Plan supports density and intensity of commercial uses downtown. The Downtown Plan specifically addresses the need to capitalize on development opportunities, and supports the strategic use of financial tools to assist appropriate development in downtown. Neither the Plan nor the code amendments reduce or increase the supply of commercial or industrial land. Therefore, their adoption is consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 9. Goal 10 - Housing: To provide for the housing needs of citizens of the state. The Downtown Plan specifically encourages a variety of housing and homeownership opportunities in the downtown core and on the edges of the Downtown Plan area. The Plan supports the strategic use of financial tools to assist housing development in these locations. The Plan does not reduce or increase the supply of residential land. Therefore, the refinement plan adoption is consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 10. Goal 11 - Public Facilities and Services: To plan and develop a timely, orderly and efficient arrangement of public facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural development. The Downtown Plan area is located in the city limits and is served by public facilities in which the existing level of service is adequate to serve the needs of existing and future development. Therefore, the refinement plan adoption is consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 11. Goal 12 - Transportation: To provide and encourage a safe, convenient and economic transportation system. Goal 12 is implemented through the Transportation Planning Rule (TPR, OAR 660-12). TransPlan Goal 12 is implemented through the Transportation Planning Rule (TPR, OAR 660-12). TransPlan provides the regional policy framework through which the TPR is enacted at the local level. The Downtown Plan supports a safe, convenient and economic transportation system and is consistent with statewide planning Goal 12. The Central Area Transportation Study (CATS) is the transportation implementation strategy for the Downtown Plan. CATS will be subject of a separate public hearing and review process.
