Goal 7 prohibits a development in natural hazard areas without appropriate safeguards.

Further, the amendments do not allow for new development that could result in a natural hazard. Therefore, the amendments are consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 7. Goal 8 - Recreational Needs To satisfy the recreational needs of the citizens of the state and visitors, and where appropriate, to provide for the siting of necessary recreational facilities including destination resorts. Goal 8 ensures the provision of recreational facilities to Oregon citizens and is primarily concerned with the provision of those facilities in non -urban areas of the state. The code amendments do not affect the city's provisions for recreation areas, facilities or recreational opportunities. The proposal to remove the open space exemption for multi - family developments exceeding a certain density in the medium to high density residential zones and allow for more flexibility in how and where open space can be provided helps to satisfy the private recreational needs of residents of these denser developments. To the extent Goal 8 applies, the amendments are consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 8. Goal 9 - Economic Development To provide adequate opportunities throughout the state for a variety of economic activities vital to the health, welfare, and prosperity of Oregon's citizens. The Administrative Rule for Statewide Planning Goal 9 (OAR 660, Division 9) requires cities to evaluate the supply and demand of commercial land relative to community economic objectives. The Eugene Commercial Land Study (October 1992) was adopted by the City of Eugene as a refinement of the Metro Plan, and complies with the requirements of Goal 9 and its Administrative Rule. The amendments do not impact the supply of industrial or commercial lands. Therefore, the amendments are consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 9. Findings of Consistency (CA 11 -2) 3 of 11
