o o Metropolitan Area Plan, the policies and implementation strategies found in the Study are publi~ policy and represent a change if they differ from older policies or plan implementation strategies. The text and diagram amendments to the Bethel-Danebo Refinement Plan are necessm.y to make the refinement plan consistent with the Commercial Lands Study, a portion of the Metro Plan. In addition, the proposed amendments conform with the criteria specified in Section 9.145 of the Eugene Code. IV. Summary and Conclusion The Bethel-Danebo Area is expected to receive the majority of the population growth expected in the City of Eugene in the next 10 years or so. It is also an area with the greatest potential for designating additional commercial land before the inevitable population growth creates conflicts with future commercial land use designations. As the Commercial Lands Study points out in the case of the South Sub-area, it is nearly impossible to add to the commercial land base in existing residential neighborhoods. The subject property, has been designated for 5 acres of neighborhood commercial. The increase in size to 15 acres and broadening of the uses to include Community Commercial comes as a recommendation contained in an adopted refinement plan to the Metropolitan Area Plan. The proposed development will require a zone change which will be tied to the construction of the BeltIine-Barger Interchange. Because the interchange design is now known, it is possible for the applicant to begin to precisely locate zone boundaries and to conduct the numerous pre-design and design studies prior to actual development. --- Finally, the proposed amendments conform with the City of Eugene Code criteria by which refinement plan amendments are judged.' 14 1-25
