<br />River as the Willamette River Greenway. <br /> <br />The subject property is not within the boundaries of the Willamette River Greenway. Therefore, <br />Statewide Planning Goal 15 does not apply. <br /> <br />Goal 16 through 19 - Estuarine Resources, Coastal Shorelands, Beaches and Dunes, and Ocean <br />Resources: <br /> <br />There are no coastal, ocean, estuarine, or beach and dune resources related to the property <br />effected by these amendments. Therefore, these goals are not relevant and the amendments will <br />not affect compliance with Statewide Planning Goals 16 through 19. <br /> <br />(b) Adoption of the amendment must not make the Metro Plan internally inconsistent. <br /> <br />The applicant notes that the Metro Plan diagram amendment to re-designate 28.46 acres of land <br />from Parks and Opens Space to Low Density Residential will not create an internal conflict with the <br />remainder of the Metro Plan. The applicant provided detailed findings, which are incorporated <br />here by reference, are intended to show how the Metro Plan diagram amendment is consistent <br />with the policy direction contained in the Metro Plan. Some of those relevant policies are <br />addressed below. <br /> <br />The following Metro Plan polices are applicable to this request: <br /> <br />Growth Management Goals, Findings, and Policies <br /> <br />The UGB and sequential development shall continue to be implemented as an essential <br />means to achieve compact urban growth. The provision of all urban services shall be <br />concentrated inside the UGB. (Policy 1) <br /> <br />As detailed in the response to Statewide Goal 11 (above), urban services are available to the <br />subject property and the property is within the Eugene portion of the metropolitan UGB and <br />within the incorporated City limits. As such, the proposed amendment will provide for compact <br />urban growth and the subject property has the essential services available for development. The <br />glossary of the Metro Plan defines compact urban growth as follows: <br /> <br />The filling in of vacant and underutilized lands in the UGB, as well as redevelopment inside <br />the UGB. <br /> <br />The amendments will allow compact urban growth to occur on lands that are currently within the <br />UGB and underutilized for an urban area. As such, the proposed amendments support this policy. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Findings – Lane Memorial Gardens (MA 08-1and Z 09-1) Page 12 <br /> <br />
