SUPPLEMENTARY GOAL 5 FINDlN~GS AND CONCLUSIONS April Z1, 1985 A. After. an extensive public/intergovermental review and hearing process, ,the Eugene City Council passed .Ordinance Nos, 19341 and 19348 on September 9, x985 which adapted the Ri verf rout Park Special Area Study and effected an amendment to the diagram and text of the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan. These actions were supported by findings .based on Oregon's Statewide goals and related planning requirements, the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area Genera] Plan and applicable ordinances. B. On September Z~., 1985, the Board of Directors of the Lane Council of Governments passed Resolution 85-3 which ratified the applicable text. and map designation amendments to the Metropolitan Plan set forth i n City of Eugene Ordi Hance No. 19348. C. Cl ai rni ng ei g~ht assignments of error i n re arati on of the Metro Plan p p Amendment and subsequent adoption procedures, a citizen of the community appealed this action to the State's .Land Use Board of Appeals ~ LUBA~ . No appeal of Eugene Ordinance No. 19341 was filed. D. On March 21, 1986, LUBA rendered its opinion on this appeal , denying seven of the eight assignments of error. However, LUBA decided ,that "A remand of the decision i s necessary for findings why the area used for Open Space and designated as Open .Space on affected plans is not included 1n the Metropolitan Plan's inventory of Goal 5 Resorce Sites." E. The adapted diagram for the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area -- General Plan designates parks and open space area. F. The parks and open space designation is defined on Page I~-E-10 of the Metropolitan Plan. That definition, in part, states that: "This designation includes existing publicly owned metropolitan and regional scale parks and publicly and privately owned golf courses and cemeteries i n recognition of their .role as visual open space. This designation also includes other privately owned lands in response to Plan policies such as the Willamette River Greenway, the South Hills ridgel i ne, the Amazon corridor, the "Q" Street Ditch, an,d buffers separating sand and gravel designations from residential land." G. This desi gnati o~n of a porn on of the property which i s the subject of these plan amendment policies as "Parks. and Gpen Space" on the Metro P]an diagram reflects its inclusion in the Willamette Greenway area., . Such action was not ~ mended to place all such designated 1 ands on an LCDG Goal 5 inventory list of needed open space areas. Rather, such a plan designation was intended to respond, in this particular instance, to the mandates of LCDG Goal 15 and designate part of the area which is the subject. of this plan amendment, as subject to the protections of LCDC .Goal 15 as opposed to the Goal 5 ESEE ro ram. p 9
