Goal 8 ensures the provision of recreational facilities to Oregon citizens and is primarily concerned <br />with the provision of those facilities in non-urban areas of the State. Goal 8 also allows, but does not <br />require, the City to create an inventory of recreational needs. This text amendment does not impact <br />the City's ability to provide parks and recreational services to future residents. The applicant also <br />notes the following in their written findings: "Past communication from Eugene Parks and Open <br />Space (POS) staff indicate that the City considered acquiring the portion of the site that was the <br />former Santa Clara Elementary School site when it was put up for sale. Based on a variety of factors, <br />POS staff stated that the site was not well-suited for park use." To the extent Statewide Planning Goal <br />8 applies, the amendment is consistent with the goal. <br />Goal 9 - Economic Development. To provide adequate opportunities throughout the state for a variety <br />of economic activities vital to the health, welfare, and prosperity of Oregon's citizens. <br />Goal 9 requires cities to evaluate the supply and demand of commercial and industrial land relative to <br />community economic objectives. The Administrative Rule for Statewide Planning Goal 9 (OAR 660 <br />Division 9) requires that the City "[p]rovide for at least an adequate supply of sites of suitable sizes, <br />types, location, and service levels for a variety of industrial and commercial uses consistent with plan <br />policies[.]" The subject property is planned and zoned for commercial use, and the amendment does <br />not seek to change the property's commercial designation. Therefore, this amendment is consistent <br />with Statewide Planning Goal 9. <br />Goal 10 - Housina. <br />Goal 10 requires that communities plan for and maintain an inventory of buildable residential land for <br />needed housing units. Since the amendment is a text change to allow a certain use on a specific site <br />that is commercially designated and zoned, and not an amendment that impacts the City's land use <br />designations, the proposal is consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 10. <br />Goal 11- Public Facilities and Services. To plan and develop a timely, orderly and efficient arrangement <br />of public facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural development. <br />The amendment does not affect the City's provision of public facilities and services. Therefore, <br />Statewide Planning Goal 11 does not apply. However, it is worth noting that all necessary public <br />services exist or are readily available in close proximity to the subject site. <br />Goal 12- Transportation. To provide and encourage a safe, convenient and economic transportation <br />system. <br />The Transportation Planning Rule (OAR 660-012-0060) contains the following requirement: <br />(1) If an amendment to a functional plan, an acknowledged comprehensive plan, or a land use <br />regulation (including a zoning map) would significantly affect an existing or planned <br />transportation facility, then the local government must put in place measures as provided in <br />section (2) of this rule, unless the amendment is allowed under section (3), (9) or (10) of this rule. <br />A plan or land use regulation amendment significantly affects a transportation facility if it <br />Page 10 <br />
