4 of 10 Exhibit A to Ordinance No. XXXXX <br />Findings of Consistency <br />property from natural hazards such as floods, landslides, earthquakes and related hazards, tsunamis <br />and wildfires. The Goal prohibits development in natural hazard areas without appropriate <br />safeguards. The amendments do not affect the City’s restrictions on development in areas subject to <br />natural disasters and hazards. The City’s existing stormwater development standards include local <br />flood control and conveyance standards for all new and redevelopment sites to reduce the risk of <br />flooding on all properties within the City. The local flood control and conveyance standards are not <br />being modified with the proposed amendments. The amendments are consistent with Goal 7. <br /> <br />Goal 8 - Recreational Needs. To satisfy the recreational needs of the citizens of the state and <br />visitors, and where appropriate, to provide for the siting of necessary recreational facilities <br />including destination resorts. <br /> <br />Goal 8 ensures the provision of recreational facilities to Oregon citizens and is primarily concerned <br />with the provision of recreational facilities in non-urban areas of the state. The stormwater <br />development standards amendments do not affect the City’s provisions for or citizens’ access to <br />recreation areas, facilities, or recreational opportunities. Therefore, Goal 8 does not apply. <br /> <br />Goal 9 - Economic Development. To provide adequate opportunities throughout the state for <br />a variety of economic activities vital to the health, welfare, and prosperity of Oregon’s <br />citizens. <br /> <br />The Administrative Rule for Statewide Planning Goal 9 (OAR 660, Division 9) requires cities to <br />evaluate the supply and demand of commercial land relative to community economic objectives. <br />The City’s Industrial Lands Inventory is acknowledged for compliance with the requirements of <br />Goal 9 and its Administrative Rule. <br />The stormwater development standards amendments do not impact the supply of industrial or <br />commercial lands or render any property unusable for commercial or industrial uses. The <br />amendments prioritize the selection of stormwater quality facilities in the following order: <br />infiltration, extended filtration, off-site stormwater quality management. Applicants that do not have <br />sufficient land to install infiltration or filtration facilities can provide off-site stormwater quality <br />management by contributing to public off-site stormwater quality facilities through the payment of a <br />higher stormwater system development charge (SDC) adopted as part of the City’s system <br />development charge methodology. Payment of a higher SDC to fund off-site stormwater quality <br />management capital projects in lieu of constructing private on-site infiltration and filtration facilities <br />does not restrict any buildable land area. An applicant demonstrates insufficient land area by <br />submitting a report setting forth the required size of the smallest infiltration or filtration facility <br />needed for the development’s impervious surface area and a site plan demonstrating that an <br />approved infiltration or filtration facility cannot be located on the development site without reducing <br />the size of the proposed development which is otherwise consistent with all other applicable lot and <br />development standards. <br /> <br />Considering this provision in the stormwater development standards, the application of the <br />stormwater development standards amendments to a property zoned and designated for commercial <br />or industrial use will not result in a diminution in the area’s supply of commercial or industrial land.
