In addition, the Willakenzie Area Plan also contains the following policy: "The City shall allow development of clinic and hospital facilities in that portion of the Coburg/Crescent area that is designated for high-density residential use, subject to review through the conditional use process." (See Willakenzie Area Plan, policy 11, page 67). As a result of the 1999 Residential Lands Study, the following finding was incorporated into the Metro Plan: "There is sufficient buildable residential land within the existing urban growth boundary to meet the future housing needs of the projected population. In fact, the 1992 residential buildable land supply exceeds the 1992-2015 residential land demand in all residential categories. Assuming land is consumed evenly over the period, by 1999, there will be at least a 20-year supply of residential land remaining inside the urban growth boundary." (See Metro Plan findings 4, Page III-A-2) Within the category of High-Density Residential, there were 60 acres of land in excess of projected demand. The removal of 10.6 acres from this designation will still result in sufficient land to meet projected demand. (According to the Metro Plan, housing is not allocated to commercial and mixed use designated land due to State Administrative Rules, although it is known that some housing will be built on commercial and mixed use land.) Therefore, the amendment is consistent with statewide planning Goal 10. Goal 11 - Public Facilities and Services: Toplan and develop a timely, orderly and efficient arrangement of public facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural development. The area affected by this ordinance is located in the city limits and served by public facilities in which the existing level of service is adequate to serve the needs of existing and future development. Therefore, the amendments are consistent with statewide planning Goal 11. Goal 12 - Transportation: To provide and encourage a safe, convenient and economic transportation system. Goal 12 is implemented through the Transportation Planning Rule (TPR, OAR 660-12). The Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area Transportation Plan (TransPlan) provides the regional policy framework through which the TPR is enacted at the local level. The previous addition of the "ND Nodal Development" Metro Plan Diagram designation on the subject property implemented policy direction in the TransPlan, acknowledged for compliance with Goal 12 in 2001. TransPlan Land Use Policy 5, which was also adopted as Metro Plan Transportation Policy F-5, specifically relates to the completion of"nodal development plans" and states: Land Use Policy 5: Within three years of TransPlan adoption, apply the ND, Nodal Development designation to areas selected by each jurisdiction, adopt and apply measures to protect designated nodes from incompatible development and Exhibit F.
