utilities as well as affected neighborhood groups in the vicinity of the request; mailed notice of the proposed plan amendment at least 2~ days prior to the public hearing to all residents and property owners within 3D4 feet of the request; a public hearing before the Joint planning commissions of Eugene, Springfield, and Lane County and Eugene and Springbeld City Councils and Lane County Board of Commissioners. Coal 2 -Land Use Planning: State goals require that the metropolitan area use the urban growth boundary for development needs during the planning period of the Metro Flan Goal 14). Because the proposed Urban Growth Boundary change is contrary to this goal, an "exception" needs to be taken to Statewide Goal 14 -Urbanization. This exception requires an analysis of the following four factors: Factor 1: Reasons justify why the state policy embodied in the applicable goal should not apply This factor can be satisfied by compliance with the seven factors in Coal 14}. The bndings and conclusions outlined later in this evaluation under Goa114 are applicable to this criteria. Factor ~: Areas which do not require a new exception cannot reasonably accommodate the use, This criterion addresses the need to examine alternative areas that could reasonably accommodate the use within the urban growth boundary. As indicated earlier, this request is not based on a "need" for additional land inside the urban growth boundary. This request is based on the location of this residence and the desire to rectify the improper issuance of a building permit. Based on other criteria in this evaluation, it has been found that key urban services can be extended to this property and the addition of this area inside the urban growth boundary will not result in any greater impacts in the vicinity. Factor 3: The long-term environmental, economic, social, and energy consequences resulting from the use at the proposed site with measures designed to reduce adverse impacts are not significantly more adverse than typically would result from the same proposal being located in areas requiring a goal exception other than the proposed site. The bndings required under this criterion are minimized due to the fact that the property is already developed and committed to urban use, The impact of this request in terms of the various factors is minimal and in some ways lessened by approval of the request. The environmental impacts may be less in the future in that the property will come under the requirements of the adopted South Hills Study, which has as its main objective preservation of the ridge line environment. The only perceived economic impact is site speck, in that the current owner is at risk without adequate provision of public services, especially ire Exlu~bit A -Findings - Z
