The. amendments make clear that lands within the UGB with <br />agricultural soils or that are used for agricultural purposes are not entitled to protection under <br />these policies. <br />The changes to Goal 3, Policies C.4, a, k, m and n incorporate references for compliance with <br />applicable statd regulations. The changes to Lane County Rural Comprehensive Plan Goal 3, <br />Policy C.4. d, complies.with the Goal 3 administrative.rule prohibiting dwellings for <br />contemplated farm use, and deletes the portion of this policy that allows a temporary mobile <br />home for contemplated farm use. Goal 3 Policy to "explore better methods of identifying <br />agricultural lands" is deleted, and revised to require that agricultural lands be identified <br />pursuant to the Goal 3 Rule. <br />Therefore, the amendments to Metro Plan Chapter III-C are consistent with Statewide Planning Goal <br />3. <br />Goal 4-Forest Land: To conserve forest lands by maintaining the forest land base and to <br />protect the state's forest economy by making possible economically efficient forest practices that <br />assure the continuous growing and harvesting of forest tree species as the leading use on forest <br />land consistent with sound management of soil, air, water, and fsh and wildlife resources and to. <br />provide for recreational opportunities and agriculture. <br />Exhibit D: Findings in Support of Adopting Ordinance for the Eugene-Springfield Page 5 of 15 230 <br />Metropolitan Plan (Metro Plan) Housekeeping Revisions, Metro Plan Chapter III-C, <br />
