The Administrative Rule for Statewide Planning Goal 10 (OAR 660 Division 8) <br />states: <br /> <br />Sufficient buildable land shall be designated on the comprehensive plan map to satisfy <br />housing needs by type and density range as determined in the housing needs projection. <br /> <br />The subject property is currently designated for Light Medium Industrial and the applicant wishes to <br />redesignate the property as Mixed-Use. The Whiteaker Special Area mixed-use zone includes the <br />following in its purpose statement (EC 9.3900): <br /> <br />The purpose of the S-W Whiteaker Special Area Zone is to encourage the economic <br />vitality of the area for employment and industrial, institutional, and commercial uses while <br />also allowing a mix of residential dwellings. <br /> <br />Thus, the proposed amendment increases the supply of residential land, including adding to the <br />opportunity for housing of a type, size and density not found in traditional residential zones. <br /> <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 /> <br />The subject site affected by the proposed Metro Plan diagram amendment is located inside the City limits. <br />The existing level of public facilities and services is adequate to serve the needs of existing and future <br />development. The site receives stormwater service via lines in place on Cross Street and North Polk <br />Street. Wastewater service is provided through a 12-inch line along Cross Street and an 8-inch line <br />through North Polk Street. There is sufficient water and electric service to support the proposed <br />amendment. Approval of this amendment would <br />future public facilities and services. In addition, the cost of extending needed public facilities and services <br />should be minimal since the development is in a fully developed mixed-use neighborhood. As such, the <br />amendment is consistent with Goal 11. <br /> <br />Goal 12 Transportation: To provide and encourage a safe, convenient and economic transportation <br />system. <br /> <br />Goal 12 is implemented through the Transportation Planning Rule (TPR), as defined in Oregon <br />Administrative Rule OAR 660-012-0000, et seq. The Eugene Springfield Metropolitan Area <br />Transportation Plan (TransPlan) provides the regional policy framework through which the TPR is <br />implemented at the local level. The TPR (OAR 660-012-0060) states that when land use changes, <br />including amendments to acknowledged comprehensive plans, significantly affect an existing or planned <br />transportation facility, the local government shall put in place measures to assure that the allowed land <br />uses are consistent with the identified function, capacity, and performance standards of the facility. <br /> <br />To be in compliance with Goal 12, the applicant addresses the Transportation Planning Rule (TPR) with a <br />Transportation Planning Rule Analysis.
