make the Metro Plan internally inconsistent. The Metro Plan diagram currently designates the subject property as ND Nodal Development. The ND designation on the Metro Plan Land Use Diagram is essentially an overlay to the base land use designation and is not impacted by the proposed changes to the base designations. The proposed diagram amendments to expand the Commercial designation and to apply a Mixed Use designation will enable the creation of a mixed use project and is precedent to the approval of the Crescent Village PUD. The applicant provided detailed rationale concerning how the Metro Plan Diagram amendments are consistent with policies contained in the Metro Plan. Unfortunately, some of the policies referenced were partially based on outdated Metro Plan text and did not incorporate significant amendments associated with the 1999 Residential Lands Study. Therefore, these findings address additional Metro Plan policies. Provide an adequate supply of buildable residential land within the UGB for the 20- year planning period at the time of Periodic Review. (Metro Plan, Policy A.3) Generally locate higher density residential development near employment or commercial services, in proximity to major transportation systems or within transportation-efficient modes. (Metro Plan, Policy A. 1 0 Provide for transit-supportive land use patterns and development, including higher intensity, transit-oriented development along major transit corridors and near transit stations; medium and high-density residential development within ~ mile of transit stations, major transit corridors, employment centers, and downtown areas; and development and redevelopment in designated areas that are or could be well served by existing or planned transit. (Metro Plan, Policy F. 3). Within three years of TransPlan's 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 adopt a schedule for completion of nodal plans and implementing ordinances (Metro Plan, Policy F. 5). The proposed amendment would remove 10.6 acres of land from the supply of land designated High-Density Residential in the Metro Plan. Even if this shift in designation is viewed as a reduction in the supply of this category of land, the region will still have an "adequate supply" ofbuildable residential land. (See the findings under Statewide Planning Goal 10, above and the applicant's response to Policy 3 on page 18 of the applicant's written statement - incorporated herein.)
