Exhibit E <br />Finding 18: This proposal is not classified as a Minor Amendment. Therefore, this criteria <br /> <br />is not applicable. <br /> <br />(dd) For Minor Amendments as defined in LC 16.400(8)(a) below, the Plan <br />amendment or component is compatible with the existing structure of the <br />Rural Comprehensive Plan, and is consistent with the unamended portions <br />or elements of the Plan. <br /> <br />Finding 19: This proposal is not classified as a Minor Amendment. Therefore, this criteria <br />is not applicable. <br /> <br />(i) A change of zoning to implement a proposed Plan amendment may be considered <br />concurrently with such amendment. In such case, the Board shall also make the final <br />zone change decision, and the Hearings Official s consideration need not occur. <br /> <br />Finding 20: Zone changes are being requested as part of the Amendment. In such <br />cases, the BCC shall make the final zone change decision. <br /> <br />APPLICABLE LANE CODE CH. 16.252 CRITERIA <br /> <br />Lane Code Ch. 16.252 Procedures for Zoning, Rezoning and Amendments to <br />Requirements (RCP items) <br /> <br />(1) Purpose. As the Rural Comprehensive Plan for Lane County is implemented, changes in <br />zone and other requirements of this chapter will be required. Such Amendments shall be <br />made in accordance with the procedures of this section. <br /> <br />Finding 21: Item No. 4 in this proposed amendment is a proposal for a zone change for 81 Rural <br />Residential (RR) zoned properties within the current Metro Plan boundary area. This zone change <br />is intended to update the rural residential zoning of these properties removed from the Metro Plan <br />to maintain consistency with residential zoning regulations applied to lands elsewhere within the <br />RCP. This change will apply Lane Code Ch. 16.291 (Rural Residential) to properties previously <br />zoned under Lane Code Ch. 16.231 (Rural Residential). <br />Furthermore, the zone changes are necessary to gain consistency with the Statewide Planning <br />Goal 14 Rule. Lands zoned RR under LC 16.231 have not been updated to comply with the <br />Statewide Planning Goal 14 Rule (Oregon Administrative Rules 660-004-0040, effective October <br />14, 2000) that has been adopted in other Lane County lands governed under the updated rural <br />residential zoning LC 16.290. Goal 14 prohibits urban use of rural lands. Any use, development or <br />division not consistent with the Goal 14 Rule will not be authorized on lands zoned under LC 16.231 <br />within the Metro Plan area. Since Lane County is amending the Metro Plan boundary and Plan, we <br />are required to update the rural residential zoned lands within the Metro Plan area to comply with <br />the Goal 14 Rule as directed by OAR 660-004-0040(3)(b). <br />Staff has prepared a comparison analysis between uses and development authorized under LC <br />16.231 and LC 16.291, which is provided as Attachment 13 to the memo that these findings are <br />included with. <br /> <br />(2) Criteria. Zonings, rezonings and changes in the requirements of this chapter shall be <br />enacted to achieve the general purpose of this chapter and shall not be contrary to the <br />public interest. In addition, zonings and rezonings shall be consistent with the specific <br /> <br />Page 6 of 24 <br /> <br />
