Transportation Plan (TransPlan) provides the regional policy framework through which the TPR is implemented at the local level. The TPR (OAR 660-012-0060) states that when land use changes, including amendments to acknowledged comprehensive plans, 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, as that term is defined by the TPR. Specifically, the amendments do not change the functional classification of an existing or planned transportation facility, change the standards implementing a functional classification system, or, as measured at the end of the planning period identified in TransPlan, allow land uses or levels of development that would result in types or levels of travel or access that are inconsistent with the functional classification of an existing or planned transportation facility, reduce the performance of an existing or planned transportation facility below the minimum acceptable performance standard identified in TransPlan or worsen the performance of an existing or planned transportation facility that is otherwise projected to performance below the minimum acceptable performance standard identified in TransPlan. Further, none of the code provisions being amended were adopted to implement the TPR. Even if one or more of the amended code provisions had been adopted to implement the TPR, the amendments are consistent with the TPR and will not render any of the adopted code provisions inconsistent with the TPR. Therefore, the amendments are consistent with Goal 12. Goal 13 - Energy Conservation: To conserve energy. The amendments do not concern energy conservation. Therefore, Goal 13 does not apply. Goal 14 - Urbanization: To provide for an orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land use. The amendments do not effect the transition from rural to urban land use. It applies only to property already within the City limits. Therefore, Goal 14 does not apply to the amendments. 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 Greenway area within the Eugene Urban Growth Boundary and city limits is governed by existing local provisions which have been acknowledged as complying with Goal 15. Those provisions are unchanged by the amendments. The amendments do not affect any area within the Willamette Greenway Boundary.
