Charnelton Street Zone Change Page 8 of 8 <br />Zone Change Application: Written Statement <br />May 31, 2023, July 7, 2023 <br /> <br /> <br />Schirmer Consulting, LLC · PO Box 10424, Eugene, OR 97440 · (541) 234-5108 <br />Landscape Architecture + Land Use Planning <br /> <br />(9) Notwithstanding section (1) of this rule, a local government may find that an amendment to a zoning map does <br />not significantly affect an existing or planned transportation facility if all of the following requirements are met. <br />(a) The proposed zoning is consistent with the existing comprehensive plan map designation and the <br />amendment does not change the comprehensive plan map <br />(b) The local government has an acknowledged TSP and the proposed zoning is consistent with the TSP; and <br />(c) The area subject to the zoning map amendment was not exempted from this rule at the time of an urban <br />growth boundary amendment as permitted in OAR 660-024-0020(1)(d), or the area was exempted from this <br />rule but the local government has a subsequently acknowledged TSP amendment that accounted for <br />urbanization of the area. <br /> <br />The City of Eugene’s Eugene 2035 Transportation System Pan (2035 TSP) is the City’s acknowledged local <br />transportation system plan. Chapter 3 of the 2035 TSP, entitled “Needs Assessment and Evaluation”, provides: <br /> <br />The needs assessment and resulting projects . . . that establish a transportation system adequate to meet <br />the identified local transportation needs are based upon the land use designations established by the Metro <br />Plan. Because the 2035 TSP is based on the Metro Plan land use designations, any zone allowed within the <br />land use designation is consistent with both the Metro Plan and this 2035 TSP. <br /> <br />As discussed above, the requested zone change is consistent with the existing Metro Plan designation for the <br />subject property; no Plan amendment is requested. Therefore, pursuant to OAR 660-012-0069 (9), the zoning map <br />amendment resulting from the approval of the requested zone change will not significantly affect an existing or <br />planned transportation facility, and the measures otherwise required under OAR 660-012-0060(2) do not apply to <br />this application. <br /> <br />In Conclusion <br />If you have any questions or need additional clarification please do not hesitate to call. I look forward to your review <br />and approval of this zone change. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Schirmer Consulting, LLC <br /> <br />Carol Schirmer <br />Principal <br />
