Based on the information avai 1 abl a and the criteria for eva1 uati on of an amendment to a refinement plan, the City makes the following conclusions. Section 9. I45 2 a : The plan amendment i s consistent with the Metropolitan Area General Plan. The proposed map and text changes to the Bethel -Danebo Refinement Plan are prompted by Pal i cy No. 19 of the Eugene Commercial Lands Study, which calls for cansideration of additional commercial land in the West Eugene Subarea to accommodate both neighborhood commercial needs and those of the larger community. The pot icy provides only for "consideration" of additional commercial lands to accommodate the needs described i n the pal i cy. The policy i s, therefore, not mandatory but discretionary. The Neighborhood P1 an text changes that are proposed are intended to ref 1 ect some of the recommended changes and to correct portions of the text affecting other portions of the development nude where circumstances or facts have changed. The Commerc i a1 lands Study was adopted as a "refinement p1 an" to the Metropolitan Area General P1 an i n 1992. These proposed changes are therefore consistent with the Metropolitan Area P1 an because i t has been "refined" by pal i ci es and recommendations of the Cvmmerc~ a1 Lands Study. Implementation Strategy 19.1, which was not adopted as policy, calls for cansideration of expanding the cammerci a1 site from five to fifteen acres to serve both neighborhood cammerci a1 needs and as a communi ty commercial center. Implementation Strategy 19.1 i s only a possi b1 a way to implement the pot i ci es and was not itself adopted by the City Council. CLS III-1; App-29. Further, the Implementatian Strategy only calls for "consideration" of an expansion to serve the commercial needs identified . The strategy i s not mandatory. Of possi bl e interest i s the language i n Implementatian Strategy 19.1 of the Commercial Lands Study which states that the recommended commercial expansion should occur after the intersection improvements ~ Barger-Bel tl i net are made. Applicant intends to "track" with the ~ntersect~an improvement schedule which now calls for an interchange to be started in the first half of 1994. The interchange design is now known and features a "diamond" type design with Barger Drive crossing over Beltline. The proposed text and map changes affect onl y the refinement plan designation far the area, Assuming these changes are approved, applicant must come back 1 ater to obtai n a zone change and wi 11 not do so unti 1 a contract i s awarded far canstructi on of the interchange.
