Existing Protection Criteria <br />4. Site is near a perennial <br />waterway. <br />5. Site is connected <br />geographically or <br />hydrologically to other <br />wetlands or waterways. <br />6. Site contain a high <br />diversity of wildlife habitat or <br />contributes to the diversity of <br />wildlife habitat within the <br />region. <br />7. Protection of site would <br />further the goals and <br />objectives of this plan. <br />Proposed Protection Criteria <br />3. Site is within 100 feet of a <br />waterway stream} <br />designated for protection on <br />Map 3 of the West Eugene <br />wetlands Plan. <br />4. Site has a direct perennial <br />or intermittent surface water <br />connection to a wetland <br />designated for protection on <br />Map 3 of the West Eugene <br />Wetlands Plan, <br />5. Site contain a high diversity <br />of wildlife habitat or <br />contributes to the diversity of <br />wildlife habitat within the <br />region. <br />6. Site has unique <br />characteristics which make it <br />of special importance to the <br />functioning of the larger <br />wetland system in West <br />Eugene and protection of site <br />would further the goals and <br />objectives of the West Eugene <br />Wetlands Plan. <br />Impact of Change <br />Considered together with <br />the change to the next <br />criterion, this criterion <br />would identify the same <br />wetlands as the original <br />criteria 4 ~ which identif es <br />wetlands next to perennial <br />waterways and 5 addresses <br />those next to other <br />waterways}. No change. <br />By narrowing the field of <br />sites that can meet the <br />criteria to only those with <br />surface water connections <br />to protected wetlands, this <br />change slightly moves the <br />criteria toward <br />development. <br />No change in this criterion, <br />This change adds an <br />additional factor of unique <br />characteristics to the <br />existing criterion. Since <br />they are j oined by "and", a <br />site must have both unique <br />characteristics AND further <br />plan goals and obj ectives to <br />meet this criterion. This <br />added factor would, if <br />anything, slightly reduce the <br />number of sites that would <br />meet this criterion, <br />Policy Amendments 4~dinance, Exhibit P Statewide Planning Goal Findings Page ~ <br />
