APPLICABLE LANE CODE CH. 16.252 CRITERIA Lane Code Ch. 16.252 Procedures for Zoning, Rezoning and Amendments to Requirements (RCP items) (1) Purpose. As the Rural Comprehensive Plan for Lane County is implemented, changes in zone and other requirements of this chapter will be required. Such Amendments shall be made in accordance with the procedures of this section. Finding21: Item No. 4 in this proposed amendment is a proposal for a zone change for 81 Rural Residential (RR) zoned properties within the current Metro Plan boundary area. This zone change is intended to update the rural residential zoning of these properties removed from the Metro Plan to maintain consistency with residential zoning regulations applied to lands elsewhere within the RCP. This change will apply Lane Code Ch. 1 6.291 (Rural Residential) to properties previously zoned under Lane Code Ch. 16.231 (Rural Residential). Furthermore, the zone changes are necessary to gain consistency with the Statewide Planning Goal 14 Rule. Lands zoned RR under LC 16.231 have not been updated to comply with the Statewide Planning Goal 14 Rule (Oregon Administrative Rules 660- 004 -0040, effective October 14, 2000) that has been adopted in other Lane County lands governed under the updated rural residential zoning LC 16.290. Goal 14 prohibits urban use of rural lands. Any use, development o r division not consistent with the Goal 14 Rule will not be authorized on lands zoned under LC 16.231 within the Metro Plan Page 7 of 31 Page 7 — Ordinance No. PA 1283
