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