The Metro Plan Diagram amendments in the Springfield UGB do not significantly affect <br />resources subject to Goal 5 because the Diagram amendments make no change in the number <br />of acres of land designated Natural Resource. Therefore, the Metro Plan Diagram' <br />amendments in the Springfield UGB do not,affect consistency with Statewide Planning Goal <br />5. <br />The following findings of consistency with Goal 5 pertain to amendments to Metro Plan Chapter <br />III-C. <br />Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR 660, Division 23) requires local governments to <br />inventory and evaluate Goal 5 resources and.to develop land use programs to conserve and <br />protect Goal 5 resources identified for protection. Lane County, Springfield, and Eugene <br />jointly completed the Goal 5 requirements in Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR 660, <br />Division 23) for wetlands, riparian corridors, and wildlife habitat for the area between the <br />UGB and the Metro Plan boundary and the amendments implement the Goal 5 requirements.. <br />The amendments document the Goal 5 process, update textln.the Metro Plan, and direct the <br />use of adopted inventory maps to identify significant resources for purposes of considering <br />protection measures specified in the amendments. <br />Lane County addressed the Goal 5 requirements in effect at the. time of applying Metro Plan <br />designations, zoning, or permitting mineral and•aggregate'operations outside the UGB, <br />including addressing potential conflicts with inventoried wetlands, riparian corridors, and <br />wildlife habitat. The permitting process of the Department of Geology and Mineral <br />Industries (DOGAMI) will require necessary and adequate protections for inventoried <br />wetlands, riparian corridors, and wildlife habitat for these existing operations. Future Metro <br />Plan amendment, rezoning, or permitting processes for new mineral and aggregate <br />operations not already authorized or permitted will be subject to applicable requirements of <br />Goal5 andDOGAMIregulations. <br />Therefore, the amendments to Metro•Plan Chapter III-C are consistent with Statewide <br />Planning Goal 5. <br />Goal 6-Air, Water and Land Resources Quality: To maintain and improve the quality of the <br />air, water and land resources of the state.. - <br />The Metro Plan Housekeeping Revisions, Metro Plan Chapter III-C, and the Metro Plan <br />Diagram make no changes to policies or designations affecting air, water and land resources <br />quality. Therefore, the Metro Plan Housekeeping Revisions, Metro Plan Chapter III-C <br />amendments, and new Metro Plan Diagram do not affect Metro Plan consistency with Statewide <br />Planning Goal 6. <br />Goal 7-Areas Subject to Natural. Disasters and Hazards: To protect: life and property from <br />natural disasters and hazards. <br />Exhibit D: Findings in Support of Adopting Ordinance for the Eugene-Springfield Page 7 of 15 232 <br />Metropolitan Plan (Metro Plan) Housekeeping Revisions, Metro Plan Chapter III-C, <br />
