wetland designation changes to protection or restoration as a part of these amendments would in <br />effect, decrease the available inventory of residential land. The total area of residential land that <br />contains undesignated wetlands is 72 acres. 1f all of these acres were protected and removed <br />from the buildable lands inventory it would represent a O.d% reduction in the overall su 1 of <br />pP Y <br />inventoried residential lands, leaving about 11,342 acres of inventoried residential land still <br />available. This represents a supply of several thousand acres beyond the projected twen -ear <br />tY y <br />demand for between 7,410 and 5,23 0 acres. <br />The foregoing analysis concludes that even if all of the residential undesignated wetlands were <br />removed from the buildable lands inventory by designating them for protection, there would still <br />be adequate land in the inventory to the meet the projected 24wyear demand. <br />Since the policy changes clearly do not move the Plan toward more protection, and since even <br />removing the maximum possible acres from the residential land supply would leave ade uate <br />q <br />buildable land to meet the prod ected 20-year demand, these amendments are consistent with Goal <br />l0. <br />conclusions <br />The above findings show that these amendments to the west Eugene Wetlands Plan are <br />consistent with Gregon Statewide Planning Goals 1, 5, 9 and 10. This conclusion is based on the <br />following:l }the abundant opportunities provided for citizen involvement throughout the <br />planning process 2}the proposed policy amendments do not move the plan toward rotectin <br />. P g <br />more wetlands, 3} the maximum acreage that could be removed by designating currently <br />undesignated wetlands would still leave adequate industrial commercial and residential lands to <br />meet the projected demands for the 20-year planning period and 4}these amendments do not <br />significantly alter the basic structure and function of the West Eugene V~etlands Plan and its <br />protection of wetland resources. No further analysis of Statewide Planning Goals is necess for <br />these amendments to the West Eugene wetlands Plan. <br />Policy Amendments Ordinance, exhibit B (Statewide Planning Gaal Findings Page 12 <br />
