The analysis compares the trip generation under the <br />proposed designation with trip generation under the existing designation to determine if there is an <br />impact as defined in OAR 660-012-0060 under the planning horizon analysis year of the current TSP. <br />See the Traffic Impact Analysis included with this application. <br /> <br />Goal 13 Energy Conversation: To conserve energy. <br /> <br />the development of local energy policies and provisions. It does not state requirements with respect <br />to other types of land use decisions. Converting the 4.62-acre property from LMI to MU should not <br />have an appreciable impact on energy consumption, and in fact may offer opportunities for increased <br />energy efficiency through contemporary mixed-use design. The developer will have an opportunity to <br />incorporate suitable energy conservation measures into the future site development upon <br />redesignation of the subject property. The proposed amendment is consistent with Statewide <br />Planning Goal 13. <br /> <br />Goal 14 Urbanization: To provide for an orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land use. <br /> <br />The amendment does not affect the transition from rural to urban land use, as the subject property is <br />within the City limits. Therefore Goal 14 does not apply. <br /> <br />Goal 15 Willamette River Greenway: To protect, conserve, enhance and maintain the natural, <br />scenic, historical, agricultural, economic and recreational qualities of lands along the Willamette River <br />as the Willamette River Greenway. <br /> <br />The subject property is not within the boundaries of the Willamette River Greenway. Therefore, <br />Statewide Planning Goal 15 does not apply. <br /> <br />Goal 16 through 19 Estuarine Resources, Coastal Shorelands, Beaches and Dunes, and Ocean <br />Resources. <br /> <br />There are no coastal, ocean, estuarine, or beach and dune resources on or adjacent to the subject <br />property. Therefore, these goals are not relevant, and the proposed amendment will not affect <br />compliance with statewide planning Goals 16 through 19. <br /> <br />(b) The refinement plan amendment is consistent with applicable provisions of the Metro Plan. <br />Metro Plan Policy A.13 - Increase overall residential density in the metropolitan area by creating more <br />opportunities for effectively designed in-fill, redevelopment, and mixed use while considering impacts <br />of increased residential density on historic, existing and future neighborhoods. <br /> By changing the designation to mixed-use, the site could be redeveloped to include mixed use <br />including medium density residential development that is not currently possible. Moreover, <br />investment next to a major street would lead to a more attractive environment for residents and <br />businesses, as well as an aesthetically pleasing streetscape for pedestrians, transit riders, and <br />bicyclists. Designs for the mixed-use property would likely be sympathetic to existing landscape <br />resources and neighboring buildings, both historic and contemporary. <br /> <br />Metro Plan Policy A.22 - Expand opportunities for a mix of uses in newly developing areas and <br />existing neighborhoods through local zoning and development regulations. (Metro Plan, III-A-10) <br /> This request is in an existing neighborhood and through the application of a mixed-use <br />designation and zone change will expand opportunities for mixed use.
