<br />of life. Therefore, the amendments are consistent with Goal 9. <br /> <br />GOAL 10 – HOUSING: To provide for the housing needs of the citizens of the state. <br /> <br />The amendments will not impact the supply of residential lands and will not result in any change or <br />conflict with the housing policies of the Metro Plan. Additionally, the amendments will not change any <br />of the policies in TransPlan and the Metro Plan related to nodal development and transit-supportive land <br />use patterns and development; those policies adopted to expand housing opportunities for the region’s <br />citizens. Therefore, the amendments are consistent with Goal 10. <br /> <br />GOAL 11 - PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES: To plan and develop a timely, orderly and <br />efficient arrangement of public facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural <br />development. <br /> <br />The Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area has an acknowledged Public Facilities and Services Plan <br />(PFSP). The amendments will not result in any change or conflict with the PFSP. <br /> <br /> <br />GOAL 12 – TRANSPORTATION: To provide and encourage a safe, convenient and economic <br />transportation system. <br /> <br />Goal 12 is implemented through the Transportation Planning Rule (TPR), as defined in Oregon <br />Administrative Rule OAR 660-012-0000, et seq. The proposed amendments are consistent with all <br />applicable provisions of OAR 660-012-0016. Further, the amendments are consistent with, and required <br />by, the Regional Transportation Work Plan approved pursuant to OAR 660-012-0016(2)(b) by the Land <br />Conservation and Development Commission on October 16, 2008. The TPR requires compliance with <br />certain performance measures by either meeting a vehicle miles traveled (VMT) reduction target or <br />obtaining approval of alternative measures. In May, 2001, the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area <br />sought, and obtained, the Land Conservation and Development Commission’s approval of an alternative <br />standard to accomplish reduced reliance on the automobile pursuant to OAR 660-012-0035(5). The <br />approved standard consists of six performance measures designed to reduce automobile reliance and <br />increase transportation choices. The six performance measures focus on nodal development, bus rapid <br />transit, transportation demand management and priority bikeway miles. The proposed amendments will <br />not interfere with the region’s ability to meet the approved alternative performance standards. Further, <br />the proposed amendments are necessary to comply with OAR 660-012-0015(3); that TPR provision <br />requiring cities to prepare, adopt and amend TSPs for lands within their planning jurisdiction to establish <br />a system of transportation facilities and services adequate to meet identified local transportation needs. <br />Specifically regarding the proposed amendment related to Project No. 333, a recent study showed that <br />West 11th at Terry Street (where the highway narrows from four lanes to two), is functioning at a Volume <br />to Capacity ratio (V/C) of 1.06, LOS E during the PM peak hour; below ODOT’s mobility standard for <br />this intersection of V/C 0.80 (Statewide highway, designated Freight Route) and City of Eugene LOS <br />standards are D or better. <br /> <br />The TPR states that when amendments to a functional plan would significantly affect an existing or <br />planned transportation facility the local government shall put in place measures to assure that the allowed <br />land uses are consistent with the identified function, capacity and performance standards (level of service, <br />volume to capacity ratio, etc.) of the facility. Adoption of the amendments will not significantly affect an <br />existing or planned transportation facility. <br /> 5 <br />
