11 <br /> <br />The Transportation Planning Rule (OAR 660-012-0060) contains the following requirement: <br />(1) If an amendment to a functional plan, an acknowledged comprehensive plan, or a land use <br />regulation (including a zoning map) would significantly affect an existing or planned <br />transportation facility, then the local government must put in place measures as provided in <br />section (2) of this rule, unless the amendment is allowed under section (3), (9) or (10) of this rule. <br />A plan or land use regulation amendment significantly affects a transportation facility if it would: <br /> (a) Change the functional classification of an existing or planned transportation facility <br />(exclusive of correction of map errors in an adopted plan); <br /> (b) Change standards implementing a functional classification system; or <br /> (c) Result in any of the effects listed in paragraphs (A) through (C) of this subsection based <br />on projected conditions measured at the end of the planning period identified in the <br />adopted TSP. As part of evaluating projected conditions, the amount of traffic projected <br />to be generated within the area of the amendment may be reduced if the amendment <br />includes an enforceable, ongoing requirement that would demonstrably limit traffic <br />generation, including, but not limited to, transportation demand management. This <br />reduction may diminish or completely eliminate the significant effect of the amendment. <br /> (A) Types or levels of travel or access that are inconsistent with the functional <br />classification of an existing or planned transportation facility; <br /> (B) Degrade the performance of an existing or planned transportation facility such <br />that it would not meet the performance standards identified in the TSP or <br />comprehensive plan; or <br /> (C) Degrade the performance of an existing or planned transportation facility that is <br />otherwise projected to not meet the performance standards identified in the TSP <br />or comprehensive plan. <br />The Transportation Planning Rule requires that land use changes that would significantly affect a <br />transportation facility provide mitigation measures to address the anticipated impacts. The Metro Plan <br />amendments will not significantly affect a planned or existing transportation facility, and no changes to <br />existing, adopted land use designations or zoning of properties are proposed. The amendments will not <br />change the functional classification of an existing or planned transportation facility, nor will they change <br />any standards implementing a functional classification system. Further, because the Metro Plan <br />amendments do not alter or affect allowed land uses, the amendments will not result in levels of travel <br />or access which are inconsistent with the functional classification of an existing or planned <br />transportation facility or degrade the performance standards of an existing or planned transportation <br />facility so that it will not meet the performance standards identified in the Eugene 2035 Transportation <br />System Plan, or Lane County Transportation System Plan, the City’s and County’s respective adopted <br />transportation system plans. Therefore, the Metro Plan amendments are consistent with Statewide <br />Planning Goal 12. <br />Additionally, the amendments are consistent with State Planning Goal 12 because the Neighborhood <br />Plan includes vision, goals, and policies related to transportation. Transportation is one of five topic <br />areas that the Neighborhood Plan focuses on. The Plan’s goals aim to implement a transportation
