The area affected by the amendments is located inside the City limits. The existing level of public facilities and service is adequate to serve the needs of existing and future development. However, specific design details related to public improvements such as stormwater and wastewater connections remain to be resolved in the context of any future development proposal. The proposed plan amendment does not significantly affect the planning or development of future public facilities or services in the area. Therefore, the proposed plan amendment is consistent with 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 -0060. The Eugene - Springfield Metropolitan Area Transportation Plan ( TransPlan ) provides the regional policy framework through which the TPR is implemented at the local level. The TPR states that when land use changes, including amendments to acknowledged comprehensive plans, significantly affect an existing or planned transportation facility the local government shall put in place measures to assure that the allowed land uses are consistent with the identified function, capacity and performance standards (level of service and /or volume to capacity ratio) of the facility. Under the TPR, an amendment to a comprehensive plan significantly affects an existing or planned transportation facility if it would: (a) Change the functional classification of an existing or planned transportation facility, (b) Change standards implementing a functional classification system; or (c) As measured at the end of the planning period identified in the adopted transportation system plan and considering both existing transportation facilities and planned transportation facilities as required by the TPR: A. Allow land uses or levels of development that would result in types or levels of travel or access that are inconsistent with the functional classification of an existing or planned transportation facility, B. Reduce the performance of an existing or planned transportation facility below the minimum acceptable performance standard identified in the TSP or comprehensive plan; or C. Worsen the performance of an existing or planned transportation facility that is otherwise projected to perform below the minimum acceptable performance standard identified in the TSP or comprehensive plan. The proposed diagram amendment does not change the functional classification or a transportation facility or change the standards implementing a functional classification system. Therefore, it is does not have a significant effect under (a) or (b). Further, it does not have a significant effect under (c) as addressed in more detail below.
