The findings of goal compliance made as part of initial adoption of the WEWP remain essentially unaffected by these amendments. In Exhibit C, these amendments are shown to be consistent with the West Eugene Wetlands Plan goals and policies. The fundamental program developed for Goal 5 compliance essentially remains unchanged. The policies and criteria of the WEWP operate as a tool to further Goai 5 compliance by assisting in determining the significance of wetland resources, the conflicts and the economic, social, environmental and energy values involved in protecting the resource. That analysis approaches the wetlands of West Eugene as part of an interconnected natural system rather than as separate, discrete sites. The focus remains inside the Nest Eugene 'Wetlands Special Study Area, keeping in mind that the larger system of which these wetlands are a part extends beyond this and other political boundaries. As detailed in Exhibit C, the amendments are consistent with the applicable policies of the Metro Plan and the West Eugene Wetlands Plan. Those are the same policies previously acknowled ed . g as being ~n compliance with statewide planning goals; and, ~n the case of the West Eugene Wetlands Plan policies, deemed to be incompliance with applicable statewide goals by DSL approval of the WEWP as a wetlands conservation plan. The inventory and significance determinations for individual sites meet the DSL requirements, and the plan amendments comply with GRS 196.6$1 to 196.654 and BAR 141-120. For those reasons, these amendments to the West Eugene Wetlands Plan comply with Statewide Planning Goal 5. Methodology far Goal 9 and 10 Analyses To address consistency with Statewide Planning Goals 9 and 10, the amendments were analyzed to document additions or reductions to the supply of industrial, commercial, and residential lands within the Metro area, due to these amendments to the Plan. This analysis is based on existing inventory, supply and demand data provided in three studies: the Metro olitan Industrial Lands S ecial Stud ,the Eugene Commerct,al Lands Study, and the Metro olitan Area Residential Lands Stud . The following analysis includes both sites directly affected by these amendments. This analysis only considers impacts to the local inventory of buildable land resulting from these amendments to the West Eugene Wetlands Plan. It does not take into consideration changes resulting from other local plans, policies, or actions. The analysis is also based upon these facts: 1. The Metropolitan Industrial Lands Inventory Report (July 1993} identif es a proj ected demand for industrial land in a range from 65 0 acres to 1,172 acres. This projected demand was not broken down into any sub-categories, such as size, type or location. As a result the analysis here does not address these sub- categories. The Eugene Commercial Lands Study identifies a proj ected demand for 523 acres of commercial land, including 109 acres of off ce commercial and 432 acres ofnon-office commercial land. There were no further break-downs of the demand into other sub-categories such as size or location, and consequently QYdinance, Exhibit B (Statewide Planning Goal Findings) Page 4
