involved or otherwise affected by the proposed amendments. Therefore, Statewide Planning Goals <br />16 through 19 do not apply. <br /> <br />EC 9.7735(2):The proposed amendment does not make the Metro Plan internally <br />inconsistent. <br /> <br />EC 9.8065(2): [The proposed amendment] is consistent with applicable provisions of the <br />Metro Plan and applicable adopted refinement plans. <br /> <br />As noted previously, the adoption package includes amendments to the Metro Planland use diagram <br />to support the parcel specific implementation of proposed S-SW zoneand related sub-districts and <br />overlays. The proposed amendments also include proposed changes to the Metro Plan text to add a <br />description for a new low-medium density residentialplan designation (i.e. “Single Family Options”), <br />and to designate the area as an MMA. <br /> <br />The following findings confirm that the proposed amendments will not make the Metro Plan <br />internally inconsistent and that the proposed changes will further many of the relevant policies of the <br />Metro Plan. The adopted refinement plan partially included in the area of the proposed amendments <br />is the South Willamette Subarea Study, which is also being amended as necessary to ensure <br />consistency and support application of the S-SW zone and related sub-districts and overlays. <br /> <br />Metro Plan Policies <br />The following policies from the Metro Plan (identified below in italics) are relevant to the proposed <br />amendments. Based on the findings provided below, the proposed amendments are consistent with <br />and supported by applicable provisions of the Metro Plan. <br /> <br />A. Residential Land Use and Housing Element <br /> <br />Residential Land Supply and Demand <br />A.4 Use annexation, provision of adequate public facilities and services, <br />rezoning, redevelopment, and infill to meet the 20-year projected housing <br />demand. <br /> <br />The proposed amendments facilitate future redevelopment and increased residential density, thereby <br />improving the ability of the City to meet its 20-year projected housing demand within the current <br />UGB. Based on these findings, the proposed amendments and zonechanges are consistent with <br />Policy A.4. <br /> <br />Residential Density <br />A.9 Establish density ranges in local zoning and development regulations that <br />are consistent with the broad density categories of this plan. <br /> Low density: Through 10 dwelling units per gross acre (could translate up <br />to 14.28 units per net acre depending on each jurisdictions implementation <br />measures and land use and development codes) <br /> Medium density: Over 10 through 20 dwelling units per gross acre (could <br />translate to over 14.28 units per net acre through 28.56 units per net acre <br />Findings - 11 <br />
