EXHIBITS Page 58 <br />in Chapter IV. Those new or expanded exceptions must meet requirements of statewide planning <br />goals and administrative rules and must comply with applicable Metro Plan policies. <br />Background information on all adopted exception areas is detailed in the Exceptions Working <br />Paper and its Addendum. <br />Within adopted exception areas, uses and densities must be consistent with zoning and Metro <br />Plan designations and policies. Changes to use, density, or zone which are not consistent with <br />the Metro Plan require a Metro Plan amendment following the process in Chapter IV. Such <br />amendments must be accompanied by an explanation of the reason for the amendment (proposed <br />use, intensity, size, timing, available and proposed service and facility improvements) and must <br />be in compliance with other applicable Metro Plan policies and the following criteria: <br />• Compatibility with existing development pattern and density; <br />• Adequacy of on-site sewage disposal suitability or community sewerage; <br />• Domestic water supply availability; <br />• Adequate access; <br />• Availability of rural-level services (refer to Policy G.27 in Chapter III-G); <br />• Lack of natural hazards; and <br />• Compatibility with resource lands adjacent to the exception area. <br />The list of exceptions and site-specific maps, which are amendments to the Metro Plan, are <br />contained in Appendix C. <br />Airport Reserve <br />Lands which may be acquired by Eugene at some future time in connection with the Eugene <br />Airport, and for which an exception to statewide planning goals must be taken, if the zoning is <br />changed from Exclusive Farm Use/Commercial Airport Safety Combining (E-40/GAS zone). <br />University/Research <br />This category represents property which is located in proximity to the University of Oregon <br />campus. It is primarily intended to accommodate light industrial, research and development, and <br />office uses related to activities, research, and programs of the University of Oregon. The <br />designation also allows for mixed use development, including a limited range of retail and <br />service uses and multiple-family dwellings. Commercial activities in this category are intended <br />to serve the day-to-day needs of employees working in and near university/research areas. <br />Activities, such as general retail and office, will continue to be located in other appropriately <br />designated areas. <br />Development of land in this category can play a critical role in the diversification of the <br />metropolitan area's economy by providing an opportunity to develop industrial activities which <br />support and utilize programs of the University of Oregon. <br />Forest Lands <br />Laurel Ridge Record (Z 15-5) Page 621 <br />
