damage and loss of life normally associated therewith. Therefore, the amendments are consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 7. Goal 8 - Recreational Needs: To satisfy the recreational needs of the citizens of the state and visitors and, where appropriate, to lVrovide for the siting of necessary recreational facilities including destination resorts. Goal 8 ensures provision of recreation facilities to the citizens of the state. The proposed designation will not impact provision of recreation facilities. Access to recreation opportunities, including a future City park located north of the subject property and west of Grand Cayman, will not be affected as a result of the proposed amendment. Therefore, the amendments are 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 lvrosperity of Oregon's citizens. The subject property is located within the Crescent Avenue Nodal Development Area. This area includes property designated for commercial and campus industrial use. The majority of land designated for these uses is either developed or has been approved for development through the land use application process. In 1992, Eugene adopted a Commercial Lands Study that included a policy to increase the amount of land designated commercial to provide increased neighborhood commercial services and general office. The study also included an implementation strategy to consider five new commercial sites and add an estimated 36 acres into the supply of land serving office and neighborhood commercial needs. Of these sites, 17 acres has been added to the commercial land supply including the C~I zoned 10 acre site on the south side of Crescent Avenue across from the subject property. Providing additional commercial land on the subject property will be consistent with the policy in the Commercial Lands Study as the impacts associated with traffic and surrounding land uses can be mitigated through the PUD process. Therefore, the amendment is consistent with statewide planning Goal 9. Goal 10 - Housing: To provide for the housing needs of citizens of the state. The Metro Plan amendment to shift 10.6 acres of land from being designated High- Density Residential to Commercial does not hinder the ability to provide for the housing needs of the community. First, the Willakenzie Area Plan assumes clinic and hospital facilities will be developed on the 36-acre area currently designated High-Density Residential. This assumption is reflected in the following statement: "Sacred Heart General Hospital has proposed the relocation of certain types of inpatient, outpatient, and lifestyle management services to a 36-acre site within the Coburg-Crescent subarea. This regional facility would provide 24-hour hospital and clinic services. The proposed hospital/clinic would be located on property designated for high-density residential development in the area north of the future extension of Crescent Drive."
