EXHIBIT R Page 201 <br />33c.2a Local governments shall encourage changes to state and federal air quality regulations <br />relating to development of fine particulate standards and related monitoring techniques. <br />36(C_.22Prior to the completion of the next Metro Plan update, the air, water, and land resource <br />quality of the metropolitan area will be reassessed. <br />Natural Hazards (Goal <br />71 <br />indlriQ <br />44:11. Due to the general nature of soils and geologic mapping, site specific analysis is often <br />necessary to determine the presence of geologic hazards and the severity of soil problems <br />which -are constraints to development. Such geologic hazards exist when certain. <br />combinations of slope, soil conditions, and moisture conditions render land unstable. <br />2024. Unless special precautions are taken, development within the floodway fringe (that <br />portion of the floodplain having a one percent per year chance of occurrence, also known <br />as a 100-year flood) is subject to hazards to life and property from flooding. <br />3.11 Many portions of the floodway fringe contain natural assets, such as significant <br />vegetation, wildlife and scenic areas, and productive agricultural lands and are thus, <br />valuable for open space and recreation. On the other hand, because of their central <br />location, some floodway fringe areas within the urban service area are important lands for <br />urban development. <br />olicies <br />2C.30 Except as otherwise allowed according to Federal Emergency Management Agency <br />(FEMA) regulations, development shall be prohibited in floodways if it could result in an <br />increased flood level. The floodway is the channel of a river or other water course and <br />the adjacent land area that must be reserved to discharge a one-percent-chance flood in <br />any given year. <br />3C.3-1 When development is allowed to occur in the floodway or floodway fringe, local <br />regulations shall control such development in order to minimize the potential danger to <br />life and property.. Within the UGB, development should result in in-filling of partially <br />developed land. Outside the UGB, areas affected by the floodway and floodway fringe <br />shall be protected for their agricultural and sand and gravel resource values, their open <br />space and recreational potential, and their value to water resources. <br />4.32 Local governments shall require site-specific soil surveys and geologic studies where <br />potential problems exist. When problems are identified, local governments. shall require <br />special design considerations and construction measures be taken to offset the soil and <br />geologic constraints present, to protect life and property, public investments, and <br />environmentally-sensitive areas. <br />34C.33 Eugene shall maintain and improve and Spfingfield shed! hillside development <br />regulations. <br />Exhibit B: Proposed amendments to Chapter III-C, Environmental Resources Element, Page 23 of 24 198 <br />L I aurei Ridgeo&Vk fie-Springfield Metropolitan Plan (Metro Plan).
