cities and counties in terms of how the classification system should be used to prioritize potential <br />expansion areas. Cities that fall under the new UGB expansion rules at OAR 660-024-0067 are explicitly <br />required to prioritize in terms of "farm land that is not predominantly high-value farm land" verses <br />"agricultural land that is predominantly high-value farmland." While the current UGB expansion for <br />Eugene and Lane County are not subject to this new rule, the rule demonstrates the significance of <br />Oregon's "high value farmland" in terms of prioritizing land under the capability classification system. <br />Soil Analysis Tables <br />The following tables show the specific soil makeup2 of each of the twenty-two sites and the tax lots that <br />they are in that were sufficiently unconstrained and had the needed site characteristics to be considered <br />potential candidate sites for meeting the City's industrial need. The tables include percentage and <br />acreage of the tax lot for each soil type description, what the NRCS agricultural soil class is for that soil <br />type, and whether that type is considered high value farmland. The soil analysis is organized by <br />candidate site as identified in the Industrial Expansion Study. In two instances (Site P4.7k and Site P4.81) <br />a site is composed of two tax lots, which are analyzed as a single unit. In two other instances (Site <br />P4.7b/P4.7e and Site P4.7c/P4.7d) a single tax lot contains two distinct sites that are created by <br />development constraints. In this case the tax lot analysis is presented once, with the notation that it <br />applies to both sites. <br />Although the analysis of the suitability of candidate sites excludes constrained portions of tax lots, this <br />analysis includes the entire tax lot (or tax lots) in question. This inclusion reflects the acknowledgement <br />that although constrained portions of a tax lot may not be suitable for industrial development, they <br />would nevertheless be included in the expansion, and thereby removed from agricultural use. These <br />tables show that all twenty-two (22) tax lots under consideration as potential candidate sites for <br />expansion are predominantly (and in most cases exclusively) composed of soil classified as high value <br />farmland. <br />Site P4.6a: Soil Classification <br />Map & Taxlot# 17-04-30-00-00801 <br />Agriculture <br />High Value <br />Soil Type Description <br />% of Taxlot <br />Acres <br />Class <br />Farmland <br />Willakenzie clay loam, <br />3% <br />0.60 <br />3 <br />Yes <br />2-12% slopes <br />aylon silt loam, <br />j <br />E <br />97% <br />19.30 <br />4 <br />Yes <br />ay substratum <br />z All soil analysis information was drawn from the Regional Land Information Database of Lane County (RLID) <br />Expansion Analysis for Employment Land - A May 2017 Draft Page 2 <br />
