Integration of air quality concerns into the comprehensive land use plan. <br /> <br /> c. Active participation in developing and implementing additional controls, as <br /> needed. <br /> <br />_a-3~i~.~8Local governments shall encourage changes to state and federal air quality regulations <br /> relating to development of fine particulate standards and related monitoring techniques. <br /> <br />~36C.~9Prior to the completion of the next Metro Plan update, the air, water, and land resource <br /> quality of the metropolitan area will be reassessed. <br /> <br />Natural Hazards <br /> <br />Finding~ <br /> <br /> Due to the general nature of soils and geologic mapping, site specific analysis is often <br /> necessary to determine the presence of geologic hazards and the severity of soil problems <br /> which are constraints to development. Such geologic hazards exist when certain <br /> combinations of slope, soil conditions, and moisture conditions render land unstable. <br /> <br /> Unless special precautions are taken, development within the floodway fringe (that <br /> portion of the floodplain having a one percent per year chance of occurrence, also known <br /> as a 100-year flood) is subject to hazards to life and property from flooding. <br /> <br /> Many portions of the floodway fringe contain natural assets, such as significant <br /> vegetation, wildlife and scenic areas, and productive agricultural lands and are thus, <br /> valuable for open space and recreation. On the other hand, because of their central <br /> location, some floodway fringe areas within the urban service area are important lands for <br /> urban development. <br /> <br />Policies <br /> <br />~.30 Except as otherwise allowed according to Federal Emergency Management Agency <br /> (FEMA) regulations, development shall be prohibited in floodways if it could result in an <br /> increased flood level. The floodway is the channel of a river or other water course and <br /> the adjacent land area that must be reserved to discharge a one-percent-chance flood in <br /> any given year. <br /> <br /> When development is allowed to occur in the floodway or floodway fringe, local <br /> regulations shall control such development in order to minimize the potential danger to <br /> life and property. Within the UGB, development should result in in-filling of partially <br /> developed land. Outside the UGB, areas affected by the floodway and floodway fringe <br /> <br />Exhibit B: Proposed amendments to Chapter III-C, Environmental Resources Element,Page 24 of 25 <br />of the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Plan (Metro Plan). <br /> <br /> <br />
