Goal 14 urbanization The purpose of the urbanization goal is to prova~de for an orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land use. To ensure the likelihood that this will occur, establishment or amendment of urban growth boundaries must be based upon consideration of the following factors: ~l} Demonstrated need to accommodate long--range urban population growth requirements consistent with LCDC goals; (2} ,Need for housing, employment opportunities, and livability (3} Orderly and economic provision for public facilities and services; ., (4} Maximum efficiency of land uses within and on the fringe of the existing urban area; ~5} Environmental, energy, economic and social consequences; ~G} Retention of agricultural land as defined, With Class I being the highest priority for retention and Class vI the lowest priority; and, ~7} Compatibility of the proposed urban uses with nearby agricultural activities. In addition to the foregoing, the exceptions process found in Gaal 2 must be prepared whenever an amendment to the UGB will result in the conversion ~of previously identified resources lands. Factors 1 and 2: Demonstrated need to accommodate long-range urban population growth and need for housing, employment opportunities and livability. These factors apply only when the "reasons" determination in Goal 2 is required. When it is shown that land is developed and committed to urban use, a reasons justification is not necessary to complete the amendment. The exceptions discussion elsewhere in this report demonstrated that these lots should be considered as "developed and committed" therefore finding~of need is not required under Goal 2 ar Goal 14. Factor~3: Orderly and economic provision for public facilities and services. These lots receive the fallowing public facilities and services: 1. Rainbow Water District domestic water 2. Fire and Life Safety protection from City of Springfield 3. Willamalane Park and Recreation District 4. School District 19 5. Lane County Sheriff These lots are included within storm and sanitary sewer basin areas proposed for development in the Public Facilities Plan. These projects will be constructed in Hayden Bridge r-o-~w and will go forward regardless of the disposition of these lots. Exhibit A -- Findings - 9
