Based on these findings, the amendments are consistent with Goal 12. GOAL 13 - ENERGY CONSERVATION: To conserve energy. The Energy Goal is a general planning goal that calls for land and uses developed on the land to be managed and controlled so as to maximize the conservation of all forms of energy, based upon sound economic principles. The proposed amendments will not change the Metro Plan orTransPlanprovisions related to promoting more compact development, encouraging the use of alternate modes of transportation and providing a transportation system design to increase the efficiency of travel wherever possible. Therefore, the amendments are consistent with Goal 13. GOAL 14 – URBANIZATION: To provide for an orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land use. The amendments will not change the TransPlanandMetro Plan provisions adopted to preserve the distinction between urban and rural uses through the development of policies and programs that provide for more efficient urban uses within the UGB, thus preserving rural lands for rural uses. Accordingly, the amendments comply with Goal 14. GOAL 15 - WILLAMETTE RIVER GREENWAY: To protect, conserve, enhance and maintain the natural, scenic, historical, agricultural, economic and recreational qualities of lands along the Willamette River as the Willamette River Greenway. The Willamette River Greenway area with the Urban Growth Boundary is governed by existing local provisions that have been acknowledged as complying with Goal 15. Those provisions will be unchanged by the amendments. The amendments will not change TransPlan’sand the Metro Plan’s provisions related to the protection and maintenance of the scenic, historical, economic and recreational qualities of lands along the Willamette River. Further, the amendments will not affect TransPlan’s and the Metro Plan’s compliance with Goal 15. Therefore, the amendments comply with Goal 15. GOALS 16-19 – COASTAL GOALSEstuarine Resources, Coastal Shorelines, Beaches and : ( Dunes, and Ocean Resources) There are no estuarine resources, shorelines, beaches, dunes, or ocean resources located within the Metro PlanorTransPlanboundary. Accordingly, Goals 16, 17, 18, and 19 are not applicable. Criterion B. Adoption of the amendment must not make the Metro Plan internally inconsistent. TransPlan guides regional transportation system planning and development in the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area. The region covered by TransPlanis the “TransPlan Study Area”, which is an area extending beyond the UGB and Metro Plan boundary that is used for transportation modeling purposes. The proposed amendments to the Metro Plan andTransPlanwill not make the Metro Plan internally inconsistent. Specifically, the Metro Plan andTransPlanprojects lists will be simultaneously amended to ensure that the two plans have identical lists. Additionally, the amendments are consistent with the one applicable Metro Plan finding discussed below. 6
