The shift in land uses from residential to industrial within the Willow Creek Basin does not jeopardize either the overall allocation of dwelling units or the al l Qcati ons among the three residential density categories within the urban growth boundary. The shift does not necessitate an expansion of the urban growth boundary to accommodate units which would be "lost" through a change in the Plan designation. In addition to the poi nts noted above, the Planning Commission's recommendation provides a residential land use arrangement which responds more efficiently to goals and policies of the community pertaining to balanced land use and compact urban growth. This occurs through clustering of the multiple-family land uses around the major servi and employment centers, i . e . commercial and industrial land uses. Several statements in the Metropolitan Plan support the proposed plan amendment. The Goal, Finding #5, Objectives #4, #5, and #8, and Policies #19 and #22 found in the Economic Element of the Metro Plan, all support modifications which would reflect a larger special light industrial site located in the central portion of the Basin, Essentially these statements outline one strategy to respond to the need to diversify the local economic base. They direct the reservation of several areas within the urban growth boundary for large-scale, campus -type, light manufacturing ,uses, continually evaluating other si tes. i n . and around Springfield and Eugene for potential light-medium industrial and special-light industrial uses. Shifting of the special- light industrial site to the central portion of the Basin and designation of property at the northern edge of the Basin to light - medium industrial use responds to this direction.
