As shown in the analysis provided above, the ordinance is consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 12 Goal 13 - Energy Conservation: To conserve energy. Goal 13 states, in part, that land use planning should, "to the maximum extent possible, combine increasing density gradients along high capacity transportation corridors to achieve greater energy efficiency" (see Goal 13, guideline 4). The overall intent of nodal development is to provide compact urban level development along high capacity transit corridors. The location of the subject site proximate to Beltline (a major arterial), and being directly adjacent to Coburg Road and Crescent Avenue (both minor arterials) accomplishes this intent. As noted previously in this report, Coburg Road has been selected as a priority corridor for enhanced transit service (BRT). Therefore, the amendments are consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 13. Goal 14 - Urbanization: To provide for an orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land use. For all of the properties affected by this ordinance, all necessary urban services are in place. Therefore, the amendments are consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 14. Goal 15 - Willamette River Greenway: To protect, conserve, enhance and maintain the natural, scenic, historical, agricultural, economic and recreational qualities of lands along the Willamette River as the Willamette River Greenway. The subject sites are not within the Willamette River Greenway. Therefore, this goal is not relevant and the amendment will not affect Metro Plan compliance with Goal 15. Goals 16 through 19 (Estuarine Resources, Coastal Shorelands, Beaches and Dunes, and Ocean Resources): There are no coastal, ocean, estuarine, or beach and dune resources related to the property or involved in the amendment. Therefore, these goals are not relevant and the amendments will not affect Metro Plan compliance with Goals 16 through 19. EC 9. 7730(3)(b): Adoption of the amendment must not make the Metro Plan internally inconsistent. The Metro Plan diagram amendment to redesignate 5.6 acres of land from High-Density Residential to Commercial and 5.0 acres of land from High-Density Residential to Commercial Mixed Use will not create an internal conflict with the remainder of the Metro Plan. No text or other diagram changes are necessary to ensure internal consistency with the proposed diagram amendments; adoption of this amendment will not Exhibit F. Page 9
