The needs assessment and resulting projects... that establish a transportation system <br />adequate to meet the identified local transportation needs are based upon the land use <br />designations established by the Metro Plan. Because the 2035 TSP is based on the Metro <br />Plan land use designations, any zone allowed within the land use designation is <br />consistent with both the Metro Plan and this 2035 TSP. <br />In their written statement the applicant correctly states that the proposed zoning of the subject <br />property is consistent with the Metro Plan and the Low Density Residential designation in effect <br />at the time an acknowledged transportation system plan was adopted, therefore the zoning of <br />the subject property is consistent with 2035 TSP. <br />As the applicant has not requested an amendment to the Metro Plan designation, and the <br />proposed zoning will be consistent with the Metro Plan designation, the zone change is allowed <br />under OAR 660-012-0060(9) and the proposal is consistent with the applicable provisions of the <br />Transportation Planning Rule. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />Consistent with the preceding findings of compliance with the Zone Change approval criteria at <br />EC 9.8865, and based on all available information as of the date of this report, staff <br />recommends the Hearings Official approve the request for a base zone of R-1 Low-Density <br />Residential. <br />According to EC 9.7330, unless the applicant agrees to a longer time period, within 15 days <br />following close of the public record, the Eugene Hearings Official shall approve, approve with <br />conditions, or deny this Type III application.
