accountability exercise, as the trips are not based on an actual development; nevertheless, transportation mitigation will be necessary to develop the property (again, under existing or proposed zonings). The applicant’s analysis proposes off-site improvements, such as a turn-pocket thth at 11 Avenue/Bailey Hill and a signal at 13 Avenue/Bailey Hill; however, actual mitigation requirements will be based on an actual development proposal and future TIA review. Based on the findings set forth above and the available evidence, the proposed amendment will not have a significant effect on the transportation system and the proposal complies with Goal 12 as implemented through OAR 660-012-0060. Goal 13 - Energy Conservation: To conserve energy. Goal 13 calls for land use to be managed and controlled “so as to maximize the conservation of all forms of energy, based upon sound economic principles.” Goal 13 is directed at the development of local energy policies and implementing provisions and does not establish any requirements with respect to other types of land use decisions. To the extent that Goal 13 could be applied to the proposed change in plan designation, the designation is consistent with Goal 13. The proposed site is located so that a future mixed-use development can make efficient use of energy with direct and efficient access within the urban area. The proposed plan amendment is consistent Goal 13. Goal 14 - Urbanization: To provide for an orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land use. The amendments do not affect the transition from rural to urban land use, as the subject property is within the City limits. Therefore, Goal 14 does not apply. 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 subject property is not within the boundaries of the Willamette River Greenway. Therefore, Goal 15 does not apply. 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 on the subject property or otherwise affected by the proposed plan amendment. Therefore, Goals 16 through 19 do not apply. EC 9.7730(3)(b): Adoption of the amendment must not make the Metro Plan internally inconsistent. The Metro Plan diagram amendment to re-designate 27.9 acres of land from Light-Medium Industrial to a combination of Low-Density Residential, Medium-Density Residential and Commercial will not create an internal conflict with the remainder of the Metro Plan.
