Attachment 1 <br />OAR 660-015-0005 B. sets out the following Greenway inventory requirements: <br />Inventories and Data. Information and data shall be collected to determine the nature and extent of the <br />resources, uses and rights associated directly with the Willamette River Greenway. These inventories are <br />for the purpose of determining which lands are suitable or necessary for inclusion within the Willamette <br />River Greenway Boundaries and to develop the plans and management and acquisition programs.... <br />The Willamette River Greenway Code Amendments do not amend the City's adopted Willamette River <br />Greenway boundary, or any land use plans, or management or acquisition programs related to the Greenway. <br />Therefore, the City Council finds that the City is not required to conduct any of the inventories listed in OAR 660- <br />015-005 B in conjunction with adoption of the Willamette River Greenway Code Amendments. <br />OAR 660-015-0005 E. sets out the following comprehensive plan requirements: <br />1. Boundaries: Boundaries of the approved Willamette River Greenway shall be shown on every <br />comprehensive plan. <br />In 1976, the City of Eugene approved Resolution No. 2592 which included the establishment of a Willamette <br />River Greenway Boundary and identification of potential acquisition sites. The Greenway boundaries have been <br />digitized in the Regional Land Information Database (RLID) and are shown as an overlay on the land use diagram <br />included in the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan (Metro Plan), the adopted and acknowledged <br />regional comprehensive plan. The jurisdictional area of the Metro Plan was found to be in compliance with Goal <br />15 on September 12, 1982. Nothing in the Willamette Greenway Code Amendments changes or amends the <br />Metro Plan or the City's adopted Willamette River Greenway boundary. The City Council therefore finds that <br />this comprehensive plan requirement is met. <br />2. Uses: Each comprehensive plan shall designate the uses to be permitted for the rural and urban areas of <br />each jurisdiction, which uses shall be consistent with the approved DOT Greenway Plan, the Greenway <br />Statutes, and this Goal. <br />In addressing uses permitted within the portion of the Willamette River Greenway located in the City of Eugene, <br />Element D of the Metro Plan, the "Willamette River Greenway, River Corridors, and Waterways Element," <br />generally provides that within Eugene, much of the land within the Greenway Boundary is in public ownership as <br />public parks such as Skinner's Butte Park and Alton Baker Park. The element further provides that park <br />acquisitions, such as acquisition of the area of the Goodpasture Island gravel ponds, expand opportunities for <br />public access and enjoyment of the river. The element also describes how Eugene cooperated with Springfield <br />and Lane County in the development of a bicycle-pedestrian trail system that extends along the Greenway from <br />south of Springfield to north of Eugene and into the River Road area. This system includes five bike bridges <br />across the river. The element also acknowledges that land within the Greenway boundary that is in private <br />ownership includes a variety of uses, including residential, commercial and industrial uses, some of which <br />appear to provide greater opportunity than others for public access and enjoyment of the river. The element <br />states that residential uses along the Greenway have the potential to provide residents with access to the river, <br />while certain commercial uses, such as restaurants, can provide visual access. The City of Eugene retains primary <br />responsibility for implementation of the requirements of Goal 15. The land uses allowed in the portion of the <br />Greenway located within the City of Eugene are controlled by the zoning and designation of the property. The <br />City of Eugene requires Willamette River Greenway permits for any changes of use, intensifications of use and <br />development within the Willamette River Greenway boundary. Nothing in the Willamette River Greenway Code <br />Amendments changes or amends the Metro Plan or rezones or redesignates any properties. The City Council <br />therefore finds that this comprehensive plan requirement is met. <br />Page 16 of 125 11 <br />
