<br />pertaining to such a program. The /WR Water Resources Conservation Overlay Zone, adopted <br />by the City through a companion ordinance to this one, was developed to comply with the <br />requirements of this rule. Through that companion ordinance, the City is applying to those <br />resources within the City limits that, as a result of the ESEE analysis, have been shown to <br />warrant the protections the overlay zone provides. This ordinance (pertaining only to the Urban <br />Growth Area) includes direction to Lane County as to the properties within the Urban Growth <br />Area to which the County should apply the /WR overlay zone (Exhibit E to this ordinance). In <br />addition, this ordinance includes an amendment to the Eugene Code that will cause those <br />properties to automatically receive the /WR overlay zone when such properties annex to the City. <br /> <br />Therefore, the ordinance is consistent with Goal 5. <br /> <br />Goal 6 - Air, Water and Land Resources Quality: To maintain and improve the quality of the air, <br />water, and land resources of the state. <br /> <br />Goal 6 addresses waste and process discharges from development, and is aimed at protecting air, <br />water and land from impacts from those discharges. Through a companion ordinance, the City is <br />applying the new /WR Water Resources Conservation overlay zone to properties with significant <br />water features, and to those within the setback or riparian area of such water features. This <br />ordinance (pertaining only to the Urban Growth Area) includes direction to Lane County as to <br />the properties within the Urban Growth Area to which the County should apply the /WR overlay <br />zone (Exhibit D to this ordinance). In addition, this ordinance includes an amendment to the <br />Eugene Code that will cause those properties to automatically receive the /WR overlay zone <br />when such properties annex to the City. As such, the City is favorably influencing water quality <br />and the impact of discharges. Therefore, the ordinance is consistent with Statewide Planning <br />Goal 6. <br /> <br />Goal 7 - Areas Subiect to Natural Disasters and Hazards: To protect life and property from <br />natural disasters and hazards. <br /> <br />Goal 7 requires that local government planning programs include provisions to protect people <br />and property from natural hazards such as land slides. This ordinance does not directly address <br />potential natural disasters and hazards. These hazards are addressed by separate studies and <br />protection measures. However, the IWR overlay zone prohibits construction within specified <br />setbacks of significant water features. As such, the ordinance's provisions recommending <br />County application of the overlay zone to specific properties could provide benefits with relation <br />to flood impacts to real property and thus could provide further protections consistent with <br />Statewide Planning Goal 7. <br /> <br />GoalS - Recreational Needs: To satisfy the recreational needs of the citizens of the state and <br />visitors and, where appropriate, to provide for the siting of necessary recreational facilities <br />including destination resorts. <br /> <br />Goal S ensures provision of recreation facilities to Oregon citizens and is primarily concerned <br />with the provision of those facilities in non-urban areas of the state. The proposed amendments <br />will not impact provision of recreational facilities, nor will they affect access to existing or future <br /> <br />4 <br />
