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