1. Metro Plan Policies <br />The Metropolitan Plan contains the following policies which address the proposed <br />amendments related findings follow each policy}; <br />Policy 15, page III-B-S: "Encourage the development of transportation facilities <br />which would improve access to industrial and commercial areas and improve <br />freight movement capabilities by implementing the policies and projects in the <br />Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area Transportation Plan ~TransPlan}..." <br />These amendments will facilitate improvements to existing transportation <br />facilities called for in TransPlan and are therefore consistent with this <br />po icy. <br />Policy 1 S, page III-C-9: "Local governments shall develop plans and programs <br />which carefully manage development on hillsides and in water bodies and restrict <br />development in wetlands in order to protect the scenic quality, surface water and <br />groundwater quality, forest values, vegetation, and wildlife values of those areas. <br />The Nest Eugene Wetlands Plan was developed to manage development <br />in and around wetlands in West Eugene, which is sufficient to meet this <br />policy.

On the West 1$th site, one <br />individual Willamette daisy plant occurs within the Planned <br />Transportation Corridor area, while over 1,000 plants of this species are <br />found elsewhere on the contiguous property to the north. Federal law <br />requires that:l } a federal permit must be granted before wetlands can be <br />filled, and 2}the Corps of Engineers must consult with the US Fish and <br />Wildlife Service on rare species within the project area of a proposed f 11. <br />These requirements mean that the federal permitting process could lead to <br />the one existing rare plant being left in place, or to some form of <br />mitigation if the plant is removed. <br />Under these amendments the majority of known populations of listed rare <br />Ordinance, Exhibit C ~~let~o Pran and WEWP Findings} Page 2 <br />
