applicant’s TIA. OAR 660-012-0060(3)(b) In the absence of the amendment, planned transportation facilities, improvements and services as set forth in section (4) of this rule would not be adequate to achieve consistency with the identified function, capacity or performance standard for that facility by the end of the planning period identified in the adopted TSP; As shown in the applicant’s TIA, planned transportation facilities will not be adequate to achieve consistency with the performance standard of the facility by the end of the planning period, consistent with this subsection. OAR 660-012-0060(3)(c) Development resulting from the amendment will, at a minimum, mitigate the impacts of the amendment in a manner that avoids further degradation to the performance of the facility by the time of the development through one or a combination of transportation improvements or measures; The applicant notes the time of development is anticipated to be 2010. To address this requirement, the applicant has proposed a trip cap that limits the number of residential units to 29 single family residences or 50 condominiums. As shown in the applicant’s TIA, imposition of the trip cap proposed by the applicant prevents the significantly affected transportation facilities from being further degraded. Specifically, as shown in Table 6 of the TIA Addendum Revised, with the proposed trip cap, the level of service in 2010 (year of opening) would be the same with the plan amendment or without the plan amendment. Accordingly, the proposed trip cap is consistent with the requirement in OAR 660-012-0060(3)(c) to “avoid further degradation.” OAR 660-012-0060(3)(d) The amendment does not involve property located in an interchange area as defined in paragraph (4)(d)(C); and Consistent with this subsection, the amendment does not involve property located in an interchange area, as defined in OAR 660-012-0060(4)(d)(C). OAR 660-012-0060(3)(e)For affected state highways, ODOT provides a written statement that the proposed funding and timing for the identified mitigation improvements or measures are, at a minimum, sufficient to avoid further degradation to the performance of the affected state highway. However, if a local government provides the appropriate ODOT regional office with written notice of a proposed amendment in a manner that provides ODOT reasonable opportunity to submit a written statement into the record of the local government proceeding, and ODOT does not provide a written statement, then the local government may proceed with applying subsections (a) through (d) of this section. Pursuant to this subsection, ODOT submitted a letter to the City of Eugene on September 24, 2009, stating that the proposed trip cap appears reasonable and that the applicant’s analysis verifies that “the trip cap would satisfy the TPR requirement. . . .” Findings – Lane Memorial Gardens (MA 08-1and Z 09-1) Page 10
