Exhibit E <br />determination, chooses to participate in the hearing, all three governing bodies must <br />approve the amendment. <br /> <br />Finding 39: This proposal is classified as a Type I Metro Plan amendment, therefore this <br />criteria is not applicable. <br /> <br />(2) Criteria for Approval of Plan Amendment. The following criteria shall be applied by the <br />Board of Commissioners in approving or denying a plan amendment application: <br />(a) The amendment must be consistent with the relevant statewide planning goals <br />adopted by the Land Conservation and Development Commission; and <br /> <br />Finding 40: Findings of consistency of this proposed Metro Plan amendment with the <br />Statewide Planning Goals are explained elsewhere in this application. <br /> <br />(b) Adoption of the amendment must not make the Metro Plan internally inconsistent. <br /> <br />Finding 41: As this amendment only reduces the total land area within the Metro Plan and <br />does not change or affect any existing Metro Plan goals or policies, the amendment does not <br />make the Metro Plan internally inconsistent. <br /> <br />Lane Code Ch. 12.230 Metro Plan - Plan Amendment Approval Process <br />(3) Planning Commission Consideration. Within 30 days after receipt of the staff report, <br />the Home City’s Planning Commission shall hold a public hearing to consider the <br />proposed Metro Plan amendment. At least 20 days before the hearing, notice of the <br />hearing shall be published in a local newspaper of general circulation and mailed to the <br />applicant and to persons who have requested notice. If the proposed amendment is <br />quasi-judicial, at least 20 days before the hearing, notice of the hearing shall also be <br />mailed to the owners and occupants of properties that are the subject of the proposed <br />amendment and to property owners of record of property located within 300 feet of the <br />subject property. The content of the notice and conduct of the hearing on the <br />amendment shall be as required by this code and state law. The Home City’s Planning <br />Commission shall review the proposed amendment and receive evidence and testimony <br />on whether the proposed change can be justified under the approval criteria. Within 30 <br />days after the public hearing and close of the evidentiary record, the Home City’s <br />Planning Commission shall adopt a written recommendation on the proposed <br />amendment. The recommendation shall contain findings and conclusions on whether the <br />proposal or a modified proposal meets the approval criteria. <br /> <br />Finding 42: Again, there are five items involved in this proposal as explained in earlier <br />findings. LMD Staff is required to harmonize and meet two different criteria for both the Metro <br />Plan and RCP for processing this proposal. Because staff is dealing with two sets of “process” <br />criteria, staff will use the more restrictive (or widespread) criteria. Thus, the requirements above <br />will be followed or exceeded for the processing of the proposal. <br /> <br />Notice of the joint Planning Commission Hearing will be mailed to property owners within at <br />least 300’ of the Metro Plan boundary. Based off criteria of approval above, Lane County will <br />receive the joint Planning Commission’s recommendation within 30 days after the close of the <br />evidentiary hearing. This recommendation shall contain findings and conclusions on whether the <br />proposal or a modified proposal meets the approval criteria. <br /> <br /> <br />Page 12 of 24 <br /> <br />
