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 amendment does not affect the city's provisions for recreation areas, facilities or recreational opportunities. Therefore, the amendment is 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 amendment does not impact the supply of industrial or commercial lands. The amendment modifies the list of allowable uses for the /ND overlay zone, which increases the possibility for development or redevelopment of properties within this overlay zone for commercial uses. Therefore, the amendment is consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 9. Goal 10 - Housing To provide for the housing needs of citizens of the state. Goal 10 requires that communities plan for and maintain an inventory of buildable residential land for needed housing units. The amendment does not impact the supply of residential lands. Therefore, the amendment is consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 10. Goal 11- Public Facilities and Services To plan and develop a timely, orderly and efficient arrangement of public facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural development. The amendment does not affect the City's provision of public facilities and services. Therefore, Statewide Planning Goal 11 does not apply. Goal 12- Transportation To provide and encourage a safe, convenient and economic transportation system. Statewide Planning Goal 12 is implemented through the Transportation Planning Rule (TPR), as defined in Oregon Administrative Rule OAR 660 - 012 -0000, et seq. The Eugene - Springfield Metropolitan Area Transportation Plan (TransPlan) provides the regional policy framework through which the TPR is implemented at the local level.
