<br />except when applied to previously undesignated sites, and in fact will facilitate certain kinds of <br />development where it was previously prohibited. For these reasons, the Planned Transportation <br />Corridor and Utility Corridor policy and text amendments to the West Eugene Wetlands Plan <br />comply with Statewide Planning Goal 9. <br /> <br />Goal 10 - Housing <br /> <br />The purpose of Goal 10 is to provide for housing needs of the citizens of the state. <br /> <br />Findings: <br /> <br />The amendments which create the new Planned Transportation Corridor and Utility Corridor will <br />not have any impact on the availability of land for construction of housing. The policies <br />themselves do not directly affect any specific properties. It is only when they are applied to <br />specific properties in subsequent Plan amendments that any impact to buildable lands might <br />result. Both policies create a wetland designation that will only be applied to wetlands that are <br />currently designated as protected or that would be designated for protection in the absence of <br />these new designations. The majority of sites where the new designations will be applied will be <br />in wetlands now designated for protection, and, therefore, not presently available for residential <br />development. In short, these new designations will not preclude any development except when <br />applied to previously undesignated sites, and in fact will facilitate certain kinds of development <br />where it was previously prohibited. For these reasons, the Planned Transportation Corridor and <br />Utility Corridor policy and text amendments to the West Eugene Wetlands Plan comply with <br />Statewide Planning Goal 10. <br /> <br />Conclusions <br /> <br />The above findings show that these amendments to the West Eugene Wetlands Plan are <br />consistent with Oregon Statewide Planning Goals 1, 5, 9 and 10. This conclusion is based on the <br />following: 1) the policies have no impact on the supply of industrial, commercial and residential <br />land, 2) the abundant opportunities provided for citizen involvement throughout the planning <br />process and 3) these amendments do not significantly alter the basic structure and function of the <br />West Eugene Wetlands Plan and its protection of wetland resources. No further analysis of <br />Statewide Planning Goals is necessary for these amendments to the West Eugene Wetlands Plan. <br /> <br />PTCIUC Amendments Ordinance, Exhibit B (Statewide Planning Goal Findings) <br /> <br />Page 5 <br />
