except when applied to previously undesignated sites, and in fact will facilitate certain kinds of development where it was previously prohibited. For these reasons, the Planned Trans ortation .. p Corridor and Utility Corridor policy and text amendments to the ''L7Vest Eugene Wetlands Plan comply with Statewide Planning Goa19. Goa110 ~ Housing The purpose of Goal 10 is to provide for housing needs of the citizens of the state. Findings: The amendments which create the new Planned Transportation Carridor and Utility Corridor will not have any impact on the availability of land for construction of housing. The policies themselves do not directly affect any specific properties. It is only when they are applied to specific properties in subsequent Plan amendments that any impact to buildable lands might result. Both policies create a wetland designation that will only be applied to wetlands that are currently designated as protected or that would be designated for protection in the absence of these new designations. The maj ority of sites where the new designations will be applied will be in wetlands now designated for protection, and, therefore, not presently available for residential development. In short, these new designations will not preclude any development except when applied to previously undesignated sites, and in fact will facilitate certain kinds of development where it was previously prohibited. For these reasons, the Planned Transportation Corridor and Utility Corridor policy and text amendments to the West Eugene Wetlands Plan comply with Statewide Planning Goal 10. Conclusions The above findings show that these amendments to the West Eugene wetlands Plan are consistent with Gregon Statewide Planning Goals 1, 5, 9 and 10. This conclusion is based on the following:l }the policies have no impact on the supply of industrial, commercial and residential land, 2~ the abundant opportunities provided for citizen involvement throughout the planning process and 3} these amendments do not significantly alter the basic structure and function of the West Eugene Wetlands Plan and its protection of wetland resources.
