Attachment 1 plan; or, (C) Degrade the performance of an existing or planned transportation facility that is otherwise projected to not meet the performance standards identified in the TSP or comprehensive plan. The TPR requires that land use changes that would significantly affect a transportation facility provide mitigation measures to address the anticipated impacts. The Willamette River Greenway Code Amendments will not significantly affect a planned or existing transportation facility, and no changes to existing, adopted land use designations or zoning of properties within the Greenway are proposed. The amendments will not change the functional classification of an existing or planned transportation facility, nor change any standards implementing a functional classification system. Further, because the amendments do not alter or affect the land uses allowed on properties within the Willamette Greenway Boundary, the amendments will not result in levels of travel or access which are inconsistent with the functional classification of an existing or planned transportation facility or degrade the performance standards of an existing or planned transportation facility so that it will not meet the performance standards identified in the City's adopted transportation system plan. Therefore, the Willamette River Greenway Code Amendments are consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 12. Goal 13 - Energy Conservation: To conserve energy. Goal 13 provides guidance on the management of land and land uses to maximize the conservation of energy. The Willamette River Greenway Code Amendments do not concern energy conservation. Therefore, Statewide Planning Goal 13 does not apply. Goal 14 - Urbanization: To provide for an orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land use. The Willamette River Greenway Code Amendments are specific to land already zoned and designated for urban uses. The amendments do not affect the transition from rural to urban land uses, as all the property affected by the amendments is located within the City limits. The Willamette River Greenway Code Amendments are therefore consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 14. Goal 15 - Willamette River Greenway: To protect, conserve, enhance and maintain the natural, scenic, historical, agricultural, economic and recreational qualities of lands along the Willamette River as the Willamette River Greenwav. Oregon Statewide Planning Goal 15: Willamette River Greenway (OAR 660-015-0005) was adopted by the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) on December 6, 1975. Goal 15 is designed to "protect, conserve, enhance and maintain the natural, scenic, historical, agricultural, economic and recreational qualities of lands along the Willamette River as the Willamette River Greenway." Goal 15 implementation measures, to be achieved through cooperative efforts of state and local governments, include the adoption of Greenway boundaries, management of uses permitted within those boundaries, and provisions for compatibility review. Eugene's existing adopted and acknowledged Willamette River Greenway regulations comply with Goal 15, which requires cities and counties to establish provisions, by ordinance, for the review of intensifications of use, changes in use, or developments to ensure their compatibility with the Willamette Greenway. The City's adopted and acknowledged Willamette Greenway regulations allow the City the approve uses, to apply requirements and approval criteria, and to impose conditions as necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of Goal 15 and to ensure that any intensification of use, changes in use, or developments are compatible with the Willamette Greenway. The following sections include findings that address compliance with relevant Goal 15 provisions in more detail, as they relate to the Willamette River Greenway Amendments. Page 15 of 125 10
