Section 9.145 (~}~c3 2. A change of circumstances in a substantial manner not anticipated in the plan; Findings: Following adoption of the WEWP, the supplemental wetland inventory changed the acreages of some sites included in the plan. Following adoption of the WEWP, Lane County decided not to staff the West Eugene Wetlands program. Following adoption of the WEWP, additional review of sites and experience with mitigation projects led City staff to conclude that some mitigation projects could successfully be conducted in areas not designated for mitigation on Map 3 of the WEWP. Following adoption of the WEWP, staff review indicated that it would not be cost effective to develop, adopt and apply a mitigation overlay district to sites identified in the WEWP for mitigation.

This site was re-delineated in the supplemental inventory in 1993 and was proposed for protection. When the WEWP was adopted, it was anticipated that the Sweetland site would be suitable for public acquisition. Following plan adoption, it was determined that the site was not suitable for acquisition for long-term wetland protection.
