The Cityof Eugene Parks Department provides park and recreational facilities in Eugene and <br />the Willamalane Park and Recreation District provides this service in Springfield. In <br />Springfield, none of the Metro Plan Diagram amendments affect Parks and Open Space <br />designations. <br />Therefore, the Metro Plan Diagram amendments do not affect consistency with Statewide <br />Planning Goal 8. <br />Goal 9-Economic Development: To provide adequate opportunities throughout the state for <br />a variety of economic activities vital to the health, welfare, and prosperity of Oregon's citiieris. <br />The Metro Plan Housekeeping Revisions make no substantive changes to policies or findings in <br />the Metro Plan affecting economic development. The revisions clarify the intent of existing <br />adopted policy. The Metro Plan Chapter III-C makes no changes to policies or findings in the <br />Metro Plan affecting economic development. Therefore, the Metro Plan Housekeeping <br />Revisions. and Metro Plan Chapter III-C do not affect Metro Plan consistency with Statewide <br />Planning Goal 9. <br />The following findings of consistency with Goal 9 pertain to the Metro Plan Diagram <br />Amendments. <br />The Metro Plan Diagram updates in the Eugene UGB better reflect adopted refinement plans, <br />zoning actions, and development approvals, which have already been through a goal analysis <br />and acknowledged by DLCD. Therefore, the amendments will not affect Metro Plan <br />compliance with Goal. 9. <br />The Metro Plan Diagram amendments to remove Urban Reserves do not change adopted <br />policies or land supply related to Goal 9 because the underlying Plan designation is retained <br />and the areas lie outside the UGB. Therefore, the amendments will not affect Metro Plan <br />compliance with Goal 9. <br />The Metro Plan Diagram amendments in Springfield UGB will have no impact on the <br />adopted buildable commercial and industrial lands inventories. Approximately 4.25 acres of <br />land designated "Commercial" on the Metro Plan Diagram are proposed to be re-designated <br />"Low Density Residential." The affected property is a developed residential neighborhood <br />zoned "Low Density Residential."' The proposed Metro Plan amendment will make the Plan <br />designation consistent with the zone designation and existing character of the neighborhood. <br />This property was not part of Springfield's inventory of vacant commercial land. Therefore, <br />the Metro Plan Diagram amendments in the Springfield UGB will not affect Metro Plan <br />compliance with Goal 9. <br />Goal 10-Housing: To provide for the housing needs of citizens of the state. <br />Exhibit D: Findings in Support of Adopting Ordinance for the Eugene-Springfield Page 9 of 15 234 <br />Metropolitan Plan (Metro Plan) Housekeeping Revisions, Metro Plan Chapter III-C, <br />
