land withzn the UGB for the 20 year planmng period at the tzme of periodic review. Of the 29.7 acres affected by the amendment, all but .51 acres are in public ownership. Land in public ownership was not considered available for residential development in the 1999 Residential Lands Study, and was not factored into the inventory of buildable lands for that study. The proposed amendments would re-designate 14 acres of Low-Density Residential, 6.2 acres of Medium-Density Residential, and 9.5 acres of High-Density Residential land to Government and Education. The 1999 Residential Lands Study indicates that, for each of these categories, there is sufficient buildable residential land within the urban growth boundary to meet future housing needs for the 20 year planning period. Even if this shift were to be viewed as a reduction in the residential land supply, the region would still have an "adequate supply" of residential land. The Residential Lands Study indicates that for the High Density Residential category, there were 60 acres of land in excess of projected demand; for the Medium Density Residential category, there were 239 acres of land in excess of projected demand; and for the Low Density Residential category, there were 940 acres of land in excess of projected demand. (a) Metro Plan Housing Policy A~13 h~crease overall resideJ~t,al densiO, in the metropohtan area by creating more opportunities for effectively designed infill, redevelopment, and mixed use while considering the ~mpacts of increased residential density on historic, existing and fitture neighborhoods. The applicant has submitted, as part of their application, the 2003 East Campus Development Policy, that outlines the University's plans for redevelopment of the East Campus area. The policy was adopted by the University and incorporated into the University's Long Range Campus Development Plan. The East Campus Development Policy outlines a long-term redevelopment plan for the 30 acre site featuring intensive educational and institutional development in the interior of the site with less intensive uses where the campus meets the residential neighborhood. The application and the development plans of the University will provide for increased residential densities within the East Campus area and for the creation of a mixed land use pattern within an educational context. The East Campus Development Policy and those policies proposed for adoption by the City are designed to mitigate the impacts of increased residential density and institutional intensity on the historic neighborhood to the east and south of the campus area. Therefore, the application is consistent with Housing Policy A- 13. (b) Metro Plan Housinz Policy A-22 Expand opportunittes for a m~x of uses in newly developing areas and existing neighborhoods through local zoning and development regulations. Exhibit D - Page 10
