The amendment does not affect any of the City's energy conservation measures or programs. Therefore, Statewide Planning Goal 13 does not apply. Goal 14 -Urbanization To provide for an orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land use. The amendments do not affect the City's provisions regarding the transition of land from rural to urban uses. Therefore, Statewide Planning Goal 14 does not apply. Goal 15 - Willamette River Greenway. To protect, conserve, enhance and maintain the natural, scenic, historical, agricultural, economic and recreational qualities of lands along the Willamette River as the Willamette River Greenway.
