Sloped lands in the Metro area were considered in the 1999 Technical Su 1 and Demand <br />. Pp Y <br />Analysis as constrained lands and these areas were assigned a lower level of develo ment. This <br />p <br />~s due to the need to address the natural conditions, vegetation and draina a issues in slo ed <br />g p <br />areas that make development more diff cult and less intensive than in flat land areas. In addition <br />the building permit processes of the Eugene and Springfield and the State Buildin Cade address <br />. g <br />se~sm~c issues and unstable soils.
