• • The Administrative Rule for Statewide Planning Goal 9-(OAR 660 Division 9) requires that the city `[p]rovide for at least an adequate supply of sites of suitable sizes, types, -location, and service levels for a variety of industrial and commercial uses consistent with plan policies[.]" Among other things, the rule requires that cities complete an `Economic Opportunities Analysis." OAR 660-009 - 0015. Based on the Economic Opportunities Analysis, cities are to prepare Industrial and Commercial Development Policies. OAR 660 - 009 -0020. Finally OAR 660 - 009 -0025 requires that • cities designate industrial and commercial lands sufficient to meet short and long term needs. OAR 660- 009 - 0010(2) provides that the detailed planning requirements imposed by OAR 660 Division 9 apply "at the time of each periodic review of the plan (ORS 197.712(3))." The proposed amendment will not make any changes to the existing land currently designated commercial. Thus, the amendments are consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 9. Goal 10 - Housing: To provide for the housing needs of the citizens of the state. • Goal 10 requires that communities plan for and maintain an inventory of buildable residential land • for needed housing units. • • The proposed amendment will re- designate approximately 63 acres from Parks and Open Space to Residential, thereby increasing the City's current supply of residential lands. Since the subject property is not currently designated for residential use and is not included in the documented supply of "buildable land" that is available for residential development as inventoried in the acknowledged 1999 Residential Lands Study, the proposed amendment will increase the City's existing inventory of land that is available for residential development. Therefore, the amendments are consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 10. • • Goal 11 - Public Facilities and Services: To plan and develop a timely, orderly and efficient arrangement of public facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural development. • A portion of the area affected by the amendments is located outside the city limits but inside the Eugene- Springfield Urban Growth Boundary. The existing level of public facilities and service is adequate to serve the needs of existing and future development, as public facilities are available or can be extended to the subject property. While a portion of the subject property is located outside City limits, annexation is a requirement for any new use that would generate an additional need for urban facilities and services. Public facilities and services are available for the purpose of annexation. The provision of these amendments does not affect the planning or development of future public facilities or services. Therefore, the amendments are consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 11. Goal 12 - Transportation: To provide and encourage a safe, convenient and economic transportation system. • Goal 12 is implemented through the Transportation Planning Rule (TPR), as defined in Oregon • Administrative Rule OAR 660 - 012 -0000, et seq.
