b. Categorize Candidate Land into the Four Priority Categories of <br />ORS 197.298(1) <br />As explained under II.b, above, ORS 197.298(1) requires the City to identify the land in its study area as <br />follows: <br />First Priority Land: land that is designated urban reserve land under ORS 195.145, rule or <br />metropolitan service district action plan <br />Second Priority Land: land identified in the Lane County Rural Comprehensive Plan or the Metro Plan <br />as an exception area or non-resource land, including resource land that is <br />completely surrounded by exception areas unless such resource land is high- <br />value farmland <br />Third Priority Land: land designated as marginal land in the Lane County Rural Comprehensive Plan <br />Fourth Priority Land: land designated in the Lane County Rural Comprehensive Plan or the Metro Plan <br />for agriculture or forestry, or both. <br />Because these priority categories are based on land use designations, the first map below, Land Use <br />Designations, shows the designations of both the Metro Plan and the Lane County Rural Comprehensive <br />Plan. For land use designations that are used by both plans (e.g. "Agriculture" in Metro Plan and <br />"Agricultural" in the Lane County Rural Comprehensive Plan), the same mapping color and label is used <br />for the purposes of this study. This map and following maps with candidate land also show the site <br />identified in the UGB Expansion Analysis for School Land for an urban growth boundary expansion to <br />accommodate a need for school land. The base designations shown on this map have been aggregated <br />into priority categories, as shown on the subsequent map, Priority Categories of Candidate Land. <br />In Eugene's study area, there are no lands designated as urban reserves (See ORS 197.298(1)(a), above); <br />therefore there is no first priority land included on the map or in the analysis that follows. Land within <br />the study area that does not fall into any of the four priority categories is identified on the "Priority <br />Categories of Candidate Land" map as "Other Lands."" <br />"These lands include those designated for Sand and Gravel, Airport Reserve, and Parks and Open Space, as well as <br />a small portion of a tax lot designated Government and Education for which an exception was not required to be <br />taken. <br />Appendix B to Findings May 2017 Page 11 <br />
