Goal 7, Areas Subject to Natural Disasters and Hazards: I'o protect life and property from natural disasters and hazards. Flood insurance Rate Map 41 ~ 122 ~~06B indicates that the entire site is within the 1 ~0- ear Y flood zone. The portion of the site far which Metro Plan redesignation is being sought currentl y has no structures, buildings, ar major improvements. Any future construction on the grope ~Y 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 recreational needs of the citizens of the state and visitors and, where appropriate, to provide far the siting of necessary recreational facilities including destination resorts.

The Administrative Rule far Statewide Planning Goal 9 [GAR 6G0, Division 9~ requires cities to evaluate the supply and demand of commercial land relative to community economic objectives, The Eugene Commercial Lands Study (~ctober 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. The Eugene Commercial Lands Study acknowledged that the inventory of commercial land is dynamic and that discrepancies between the Plan Diagram and zoning district do occur: "In general, land designated in the Metro Plan for commercial use is also zoned far commercial development. In some cases, however, a specific parcel maybe designated for commercial use and not have a commercial zoning or vice versa. chile the Metro Plan designation provides a map illustrating the broad land use patterns in the community, zoning districts define the speci tc types of uses permitted on an individual parcel. " ~Pg. II-3} The property's long-time and current use as a juvenile justice campus is consistent with permitted uses in the PL, Public Land zoning district. The Commercial designation on the western portion of the site is an anomaly that would be corrected by approval of the requested Metro Plan amendment and concurrent automatic amendment to the Willakenzie Area Plan. 3
