To maintain and improve the quality of the air, water <br />and land resources of the state. <br /> <br />Goal 6 addresses waste and process discharges from development, and is aimed at protecting air, <br />water and land from impacts from those discharges.

To protect life and property from natural <br />disasters and hazards. <br /> <br />Goal 7 requires that local government planning programs include provisions to protect people and <br />property from natural hazards such as floods, land slides, earthquakes and related hazards, tsunamis <br />and wildfires. Goal 7 prohibits a development in natural hazard areas without appropriate safeguards. <br />These amendments do not affect the Citys restrictions on development in areas subject to natural <br />disasters and hazards. Further, the amendments do not allow for new development that could result <br />in a natural hazard. Therefore, the amendments are consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 7. <br /> <br />Goal 8 - Recreational Needs. To satisfy the recreational needs of the citizens of the state and visitors, <br />and where appropriate, to provide for the siting of necessary recreational facilities including destination <br />resorts. <br /> <br />Goal 8 ensures the provision of recreational facilities to Oregon citizens and is primarily concerned with <br />the provision of those facilities in non-urban areas of the state. The code amendments do not affect <br />the citys provisions for recreation areas, facilities or recreational opportunities. The proposal to <br />remove the open space exemption for multi-family developments exceeding a certain density in the <br />medium to high density residential zones and allow for more flexibility in how and where open space <br />can be provided helps to satisfy the private recreational needs of residents of these denser <br />developments. To the extent Goal 8 applies, the amendments are consistent with Statewide Planning <br />Goal 8. <br /> <br />Goal 9 - Economic Development. To provide adequate opportunities throughout the state for a variety <br />of economic activities vital to the health, welfare, and prosperity of Oregons citizens. <br /> <br />The Administrative Rule for Statewide Planning Goal 9 (OAR 660, Division 9) requires cities to evaluate <br />the supply and demand of commercial land relative to community economic objectives.
