• Goal 6 - Air. Water and Land Resources Ouality: To maintain and improve the quality of the air, water, and land resources of the state. Goal 6 addresses waste and process discharges from development, and is aimed at protecting air, water and land from impacts from those discharges. Nothing in the proposal or the character of the site or potential uses indicates a future development that would compromise air, water and land resources. The proposal does not amend the metropolitan area's air, water quality or land resource policies. Based on allowed low density residential uses, the City can reasonably expect that future development of the site comply with applicable environmental laws. Therefore, the amendments are consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 6. Goal 7 - Areas Subiect to Natural Disasters and Hazards: To protect life and property from natural disasters and hazards. Goal 7 requires that local government planning programs include provisions to protect people and property from natural hazards such as floods, land slides, earthquakes and related hazards, tsunamis and wildfires. The subject property is not located within known areas of natural disasters or hazards. The subject property is outside the flood zone and is not subject to hazards normally associated with steep slopes, wildfires, or tsunamis. Other hazards, such as earthquakes and severe winter storms can be mitigated at the time of development based on accepted building codes and building techniques. Therefore, these amendments are consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 7. Goal 8 - Recreational Needs: To satisfy the recreational needs of the citizens of the state and visitors and where appropriate, to provide for the siting of necessary recreational facilities including destination resorts. • Goal 8 ensures the provision of recreational facilities to Oregon citizens and is primarily concerned with the provision of those facilities in non-urban areas of the state. Unlike planning for its residential, commercial or industrial land needs under Goals 9 and 10, planning for a city's recreational needs is largely a matter of local choice. The applicable statutes, Statewide Planning Goals and administrative rules are not prescriptive as to the amount of park land that a city must have to serve its population. While the City takes into consideration the existence of private recreation facilities and open space in its parks planning process, because there is no guarantee that lands owned by private entities will remain in perpetuity as public open space and/or recreation facilities, the City does not (and is not required to) account for private facilities and open space in its supply of recreation facilities, parks and open space. The subject property is not included on any list, inventory or map identifying the City's existing parks and open space supply. As such, changing the designation of the subject property will have no impact on the City's parks and open space supply. While the proposed amendments will impact a private recreational facility, the proposed amendments will not impact the provision of public recreational facilities, nor will they affect access to existing or future public recreational facilities. Therefore, the amendments am consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 8. Goal 9 - Economic Development: To provide adequate opportunities throughout the state for a variety of economic activities vital to the health, welfare, and prosperity of Oregon's citizens.
