The amendments are for property located within the city limits and do not affect any land designated for agricultural use. Therefore, Goal 3 is not applicable or relevant to the amendments. Goal 4 - Forest Land: To conserve forest lands by maintaining the forest land base and to protect the state's forest economy by making possible economically efficient forest practices that assure the continuous growing and harvesting of forest tree species as the leading use on forest land consistent with sound management of soil, air, water, and fish and wildlife resources and to provide for recreational opportunities and agriculture. The amendments are for property located within the city limits and do not affect any land designated for forest use. Therefore, Goal 4 is not applicable or relevant to the amendments. Goal 5 - Open Spaces, Scenic and Historic Areas, and Natural Resources: To conserve open space and protect natural and scenic resources. These amendments do not create or amend the area's list of Goal 5 resources, do not amend a code provision adopted in order to protect a significant Goal 5 resource or to address specific requirements of Goal 5, do not allow new uses that could be conflicting uses with a significant Goal 5 resource site and do not amend the acknowledged Urban Growth Boundary. Therefore, Goal 5 does not apply. Goal 6 - Air, Water and Land Resources Quality: To maintain and improve the quality of the air, water and land resources of the state. The prior action to apply the/ND Nodal Development overlay zone to the subject property was a significant step towards implementing the nodal development concept; an approach to integration of land use and transportation planning that seeks to increase the use of alternative modes of transportation and reduce demand for automobile-related transportation facilities. Increasing the use of alternative modes of transportation will help to improve regional and local air quality. The amendments further the concept of nodal development by permitting a broader range of uses and providing additional opportunities for residents in the northeast area of Eugene to have access to employment and commercial services. Therefore, the amendments are consistent with Goal 6. Goal 7 - Areas Subject to Natural Disasters and Hazards: Toprotect life and property from natural disasters and hazards. The subject parcels are not located within known areas of natural disasters or hazards. The site is outside the 500-year flood zone and is not subject to hazards normally associated with steep slopes, wildfires, or tsunamis. Other hazards, such as earthquakes and severe winter storms can be mitigated at the time of development based on accepted building codes and building techniques. Based on these facts, the proposed designation will not result in development in areas normally associated with natural disaster or the Exhibit F. Page 3
