The application for Metro Plan diagram amendment does not concern waste and process discharges that would impact the quality of air, water, and land resources. Any and all future development on the property will comply with all local, state, and federal standards and guidelines. The Q Street Channel functions as an open stormwater conveyance and could receive stormwater runoff from future development on the site [Eugene Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan, November 1993, pg. 4-7j. These and other Goal 6 considerations would be addressed through the site planning process should future development occur on the property. As development is not proposed at this time, and the application for a Metro Plan diagram amendment is intended to rectify the difference between the site's Commercial Plan designation and underlying zoning, this Goal is not relevant and the amendment does not affect Metro Plan compliance with Goa16. Goal 7 Areas Subject to Natural Disasters and Hazards: 2'o protect life and property from natural disasters and hazards. Flood Insurance Rate Map 410122 ~~06B indicates that the entire site is within the 1 ~~-year flood zone. The portion of the site for which Metro Plan redesignation is being sought currently has no structures, buildings, or major improvements. Any future construction on the property would have to comply with Eugene Code regulations concerning construction within the floodplain. This would also be the case if the Plan designation remained Commercial and if future commercial development were proposed. Therefore, the amendment is consistent with Goal 7 and continued compliance will occur through protections established by the City's floodplain development regulations. The amendment does not affect Metro Plan compliance with Goal 7. Goal S--Recreational Needs: To satisfy the recreatianal needs of the citizens of the state and visitors and, where appropriate, to provide for the siting of necessary recreational facilities including destination resorts. The portion of the subject site designated Commercial is not identified for recreation use in the Metro Plan or in the Eugene Parks and Recreation Plan July 1959}. The amendment does not affect Metro Plan compliance with Goal $, Goal 9-Economic Development: ~'o provide adequate opportunities throughout the state for a variety of economic activities vital to the health, welfare, and prosperity of Oregon's citizens. The Administrative Rule for Statewide Planning Goal 9 DAR ~~0, Division 9j requires cities to evaluate the supply and demand of commercial land relative to community economic objectives. The Eugene Commercial Lands Study ~Gctober 1992} was adopted by the City of Eugene as a refinement of the Metro Plan, and complies with the requirements of Goal 9 and its Administrative Rule.
