(9) Notwithstanding section (1) of this rule, a local government may find that an amendment to a zoning map does not significantly affect an existing or planned transportation facility if all of the following requirements are met. (a) The proposed zoning is consistent with the existing comprehensive plan map designation and the amendment does not change the plan map: (b) The local government has an acknowledged TSP and the proposed zoning is consistent with the TSP; and (c) The area subject to the amendment was not exempted from this rule at the time of an urban growth boundary amendment as permitted in OAR 660- 024-220(1)(d), or the area was exempted from this rule but the local government has a subsequently acknowledged TSP amendment that accounted for urbanization of the area. Response: The proposed R-1 zoning for the property is consistent with the existing comprehensive plan designation as Low- Density Residential, and that this designation was in effect at the time the acknowledged TSP was adopted (TransPlan 2002). When TransPlan was adopted in 2001, the subject property was designated Low-Density Residential and has remained unchanged. The subject property was not exempted from the TPR at the time of an urban growth boundary agreement. Thus, OAR 660-012-0060(9) is satisfied. Based on these findings, the proposed zone change does not significantly affect a transportation facility for purposes of the TPR and therefore complies with the TPR. The Road-Santa Clara Urban Facilities Plan: Unincorporated Subarea Policies and Proposed Actions: 2. The City shall require future developments on parcels abutting the UGB to provide an effective transition between urban and rural land uses. This transition is intended to minimize potential conflicts with adjacent agricultural and sand and gravel operations. (page 57) Response: The subject property does not abut the UGB. Therefore, this criterion is not applicable. CONCLUSION The requested zone change from AG, Agriculture to R1 Low Density Residential, satisfies all applicable criteria.
