8 of 10 Exhibit A to Ordinance No. XXXXX <br />Findings of Consistency <br />mitigate a portion of the volume, duration, time of concentration, and rate of stormwater runoff. <br /> <br />3. Off-Site Stormwater Quality Management: Public off-site infiltration and filtration treatment <br />facilities designed and constructed utilizing stormwater system development charges collected from <br />development applications that are not able to construct private infiltration or filtration due to site <br />constraints. <br /> <br />Prioritizing the available stormwater quality facilities in a hierarchical order in which infiltration and <br />extended filtration are prioritized over off-site stormwater quality management, while still allowing <br />off-site treatment when site conditions or the desired development of the site renders infiltration and <br />filtration facilities impractical will: (1) facilitate (and encourage) a development’s incorporation of <br />site-specific management practices that mimic natural surface or predevelopment hydrological <br />functions as much as practicable, optimizing on-site retention based on site conditions; (2) result in <br />reduced site specific post-development stormwater runoff, volume, duration and rates of discharge to <br />the municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4), thereby minimizing hydrological and water <br />quality impacts from impervious surface; (3) encourage and facilitate the applicable and practical <br />uses of low-impact-development or green infrastructure, while allowing other stormwater quality <br />management techniques when use of these approaches is impractical; (4) further the intent to capture <br />and treat 80% of the annual average rainfall volume; and, (5) encourage design and implementation <br />techniques intended to minimize impervious surfaces and reduce stormwater runoff. <br /> <br />The proposed amendments are consistent with the Mero Plan’s Environment Resources Element. <br />The Environmental Resources Element also implements Statewide Planning Goals 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 <br />addressed above. <br />F. Transportation Element <br /> <br />This element implements Statewide Planning Goal 12 addressed above. <br /> <br />G. Public Facilities and Services Element <br /> <br />This element implements Statewide Planning Goal 11 addressed above. <br />Additionally, the topic area of Services to Development Within the Urban Growth Boundary <br />includes policies directly related to implementing the Clean Water Act and the NPDES permit issued <br />by DEQ to the City of Eugene. The stormwater development standards amendments implement this <br />legal framework and are consistent with this element and topic area. <br />K. Citizen Involvement Element <br /> <br />This element implements Statewide Planning Goal 1 addressed above. <br /> <br />Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan <br />The Envision Eugene Comprehensive Plan is the basic guiding policy document for land use <br />planning within the urban growth boundary for the City of Eugene. The Envision Eugene <br />Comprehensive Plan currently defers to the Metro Plan elements most relevant to the proposed
