is consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 13 and will not affect Metro Plan compliance with the Goal. Goal 14 - Urbanization: To provide for an orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land use. Goal 14 requires that comprehensive plans provide for orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land uses, and the establishment of Urban Growth Boundaries (UGBs) around incorporated cities to assure compact and efficient urban growth inside the UGB and protection of rural resources outside of it. Findings included in the Metro Plan Transportation Element (Page III -F -11) specifically note that he Eugene Airport is located outside the UGB to protect it from incompatible development as well as to reduce airport- related impacts on development within the UGB. It also notes that the area of airport designated government and education on the Metro Plan diagram receives municipal water, wastewater, fire, and police services. As previously discussed with respect to Goal 11, adoption of the master plan update will not require new urban services beyond those currently available to serve airport and airport- related functions. Furthermore, extension of services for future development to meet the demands outlined in the master plan update is wholly consistent with the Metro Plan and prior City determinations. Metro Plan Policy F.30 also supports the use of the Eugene Airport Master Plan as the guide for improvements of facilities and services at the airport. As previously noted, OAR 660 - 012 - 0065(1) and (3)(n) preclude the need to take an exception to Goal 14 because the proposed improvements do not permit service to a larger class of airplanes. As such, adoption of the current master plan update is consistent with Goal 14, and will not affect the Metro Plan compliance with the Goal. 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 Eugene Airport is not within the boundaries of the Willamette River Greenway. Therefore, Statewide Planning Goal 15 is not relevant, and adoption of the master plan update will not affect Metro Plan compliance with Goal 15. Goal 16 through 19 - Estuarine Resources, Coastal Shorelands, Beaches and Dunes, and Ocean Resources: There are no coastal, ocean, estuarine, or beach and dune resources in proximity to the Eugene Airport. Therefore, these goals are not relevant and adoption of the master plan update will not affect compliance with Statewide Planning Goals 16 through 19.
