that may impact this goal are required to address this applicability during the public review and hearings process. This goal is unaffected by a new or amended population forecast. Goal 8 — Recreational Needs To satisfy the recreational needs of the citizens of the state and visitors and where appropriate, to provide for the siting of necessary recreational facilities including destination resorts. Willamalane and the City co- adopted the Park and Recreation Comprehensive Plan in 2004. This plan has a recommended standard of two acres of park land for each 1,000 population. The 2004 plan projects an increase of 25,000 citizens by the end of the adopted 20 -year planning horizon (2022) 2 Willamalane is a special service taxing district with the authorization to purchase, develop and maintain park facilities, but it has no authority or obligation for Goal 8 compliance; that responsibility lies with the City of Springfield after coordinating with the Park District. The Metro Plan has a horizon of 2015 therefore Willamalane's standard of two acres per 1,000 residents is a valid standard to the year 2015; anything beyond 2015 is not applicable to the Metro Plan even though Willamalane's plan extends to 2022. In the event Springfield adopts a new population forecast that extends the planning period to 2030 or later and there are subsequent impacts on the buildable lands inventories, the City will coordinate with Willamalane throughout these actions to maintain Goal 8 compliance through the new planning period of 2030. Goal 9 — Economic Development To provide adequate opportunities throughout the state for a variety of economic activities vital to the health, welfare, and prosperity of Oregon's citizens. ORS 197.304 does not require an analysis of commercial and industrial lands inventories; the ORS 197.296 determination applies only to residential inventories; and OAR 660 - 024 -0040 allows a local government to review and amend the UGB "in consideration of one category of land need (for example, housing need) without a simultaneous review and amendment in consideration of other categories of land need (for example, employment need)." (OAR 660 - 024 - 0040(3)). The cities have chosen to expand the inventory analysis to include commercial and industrial land, both of which rely upon the same population forecast required by OAR 660 - 024 - 0040(1). The adoption of the population forecast does not directly affect this goal; however, the activities subsequent to the adoption of the population forecast will rely on this forecast as a basis for actions pursuant to the applicable goals. Adopting a new population forecast consistent with ORS 195.036 is consistent with the provisions of OAR 660 - 024 -0040 and OAR 660 -009 Economic Development. Goal 10 — Housing To provide for the housing needs of citizens of the state. The cities are required by ORS 197.304 to undertake an ORS 197.296 determination within two years of the effective date of the Act. The ORS 197.296 determination involves the inventory, supply and demand analysis of residential land use needs for the forecast population of the 20 -year planning period; this determination cannot occur without a population forecast. 2 Page A4, Willamalane Park and Recreation Comprehensive Plan 7
