Factor 4: Compatibility of the proposed urban uses with nearby agricultural and forest <br />activities occurring on farm and forest land outside the UGB <br />The configuration of this expansion option includes direct adjacency to both farm and forest land <br />surrounding the southern sites. While compatibility issues with this adjacency are likely to be minimal, <br />there is a possibility of undesirable impacts. <br />Focused Expansion Option 3. The third possible expansion option evaluated for the Goal 14 boundary <br />location factors focuses on the Awbrey Lane area, which contains two 20-50 acre sites, one of which <br />requires the other to connect to the current UGB. The expansion option presented in the map "Focused <br />Expansion Option: Awbrey Lane" presents one possible configuration of sites using both sites north of <br />Awbrey Lane and additional sites in the Clear Lake area as needed to meet the full needed portfolio. <br />Each of the Goal 14 boundary location factors are evaluated for this expansion option below. <br />Factor 1: Efficient accommodation of identified land needs <br />This expansion option meets the entire portfolio of needed sites in two distinct expansion areas. <br />Expanding onto the two sites north of Awbrey Lane would increase the urban/rural interface from 0.1 <br />miles to 1.4 miles along those boundaries. <br />The area around Clear Lake Road that supplements this area would complete the needed portfolio of <br />sites. This would ultimately reduce the urban/rural interface from 6.0 miles along this stretch to 3.4 <br />miles due to additional lands incorporated, noted below. This option would require the inclusion of nine <br />small tax lots and part of one tax lot totaling 46.3 acres, as well as one larger tax lot and a significant <br />portion of a tax lot totaling 89.1 acres that would not be used to meet an identified need. Like Option 2, <br />this option would also require the inclusion of a significant number of additional acres due to a larger <br />rural island that would otherwise be created. Because the school expansion connects to Clear Lake <br />Road, and City policy requires that the urban growth boundary include bordering rights-of-way, this <br />expansion option would also require the inclusion of all land east of the school expansion and south of <br />Clear Lake Road, including land accounted for above, a 5.0 acre tax lot and 222.1 acres that are under <br />consideration for a park expansion. In total, 140.4 acres up to a possible 362.5 depending on park <br />expansion proposals would be included in this expansion option without meeting any established need. <br />This option is extremely inefficient. <br />Factor 2: Orderly and economic provision of public facilities and services <br />As a two-area expansion, this option would require planning of public facilities and services with two <br />different sets of conditions and timing, reducing the efficiency and orderliness of providing services as <br />development requires. <br />Factor 3: Comparative environmental, energy, economic, and social consequences <br />Environmental: The Awbrey Lane-focused expansion option contains some scattered Goal 5 protected <br />areas and one area constrained by the Special Hazard Flood Area. These environmental constraints <br />would require additional guidelines or regulation to mitigate potential consequences. Overall <br />environmental consequences from expanding into this area for industrial use would be neutral. <br />Appendix B to Findings May 2017 Page 137 <br />
