herein by reference, the proposed amendment is consistent with the applicable policies of the RIPS. Conclusion The proposed Metro Plan text amendment and Goal 15 exception would not make the Metro Plan internally inconsistent. The Metro Plan and its related refinement plans are specific in their planning for the South Bank Path and the alignment of that path along the Willamette River, passing beneath the Willamette 1 -5 Bridge and connecting Eugene's bike system to Springfield through Glenwood. The South Bank Viaduct facility is a critical facility that allows passage around the existing barrier beneath the bridge that prevents such connectivity. IV. Compliance with Applicable Administrative Rules of Chapter 660, Division 004 — Interpretation of Goal 2 Exception Process "Statewide Planning Goal 2 -1-and Use Planning, Part II, Exceptions," allows for exceptions to be made to certain other statewide planning goals. OAR chapter 660 division 4 explains the three types of exceptions set forth in Goal 2. Division 4 interprets the exception process as it applies to statewide Goals 3 to 19. OAR 660- 004 - 0010(2) states: "the exceptions process is generally not applicable to those statewide goals which establish planning procedures and standards that do not prescribe or restrict certain uses of resource land or limit the provision of certain public facilities and services, because these goals contain general planning guidance or their own procedures for resolving conflicts between competing uses. However, exceptions to these goals, although not required, are possible and exceptions taken to these goals will be reviewed when submitted by a local jurisdiction. These statewide goals are (emphasis added): (a) Goal 5 "Natural Resources "; (b) Goal 6 "Air, Water, and Land Resources Quality "; (c) Goal 7 "Natural Disasters and Hazards "; (d) Goal 8 "Recreational Needs "; (e) Goal 9 "Economy of the State "; (f) Goal 10 "Housing" except as provided for in OAR 660 - 008 -0035, "Substantive Standards for Taking a Goal 2, Part 11, Exception Pursuant to ORS 197.303(3)'; (g) Goal 12 "Transportation" except as provided for by OAR 660- 012 -0070, "Exceptions for Transportation Improvements on Rural Land "; (h) Goal 13 "Energy Conservation "; (i) Goal 15 "Willamette Greenwav" except as provided for in OAR 660- 004 - 0022(6); and Attachment 1 -18
