Eugene Ordinance Exhibit J <br />[Lane County Ordinance Exhibit G] <br />(2) Higher priority shall be given to land of lower capability as measured by the capability <br />classification system or by cubic foot site class, whichever is appropriate for the current use. <br />With respect to the UGB Expansion Analysis for School Land and the UGB Analysis for Park Land, the <br />potential sites were narrowed to one potential site based on considerations required before this <br />provision is applied. Therefore this provision was inapplicable in both of those Expansion Analyses. <br />In its UGB Expansion Analysis for Employment Land, Appendix B to these findings, the City gave higher <br />priority to agricultural land of lower capability as measured by the capability classification system. The <br />analysis and substantive findings demonstrating this prioritization of agricultural land are located in <br />section Ill.f of the UGB Expansion Analysis for Employment Land at Appendix B to these findings. <br />Detailed information about this prioritization is included in the "Soil Evaluation of Suitable Candidate <br />Sites" document attached to the UGB Expansion Analysis for Employment Land. <br />(3) Land of lower priority under subsection (1) of this section may be included in an urban growth <br />boundary if land of higher priority is found to be inadequate to accommodate the amount of land <br />estimated in subsection (1) of this section for one or more of the following reasons: <br />(a) Specific types of identified land needs cannot be reasonably accommodated on higher priority <br />lands; <br />The UGB Expansion Analysis for School Land, Appendix A to these findings, includes consideration of the <br />location-based and other site needs for the required school facility. See section III of that Analysis. This <br />resulted in the dismissal of second-priority land that could not reasonably accommodate the needed <br />school. See UGB Expansion Analysis for School Land at section V.d.(1). <br />The City's EOA at Part II of the Employment Land Supply Study identifies two site characteristics (site size <br />and proximity to a freight route) that must be present to reasonably accommodate the types of <br />employment expected to locate in Eugene during the planning period. In the evaluation of each subarea <br />in section III of the UGB Expansion Analysis for Employment Land (Appendix B to these findings), after <br />dismissing land with development constraints, the City identifies and dismisses land that cannot <br />reasonably accommodate the City's employment land needs due to insufficient size or too great a <br />distance from a freight route. This provision of state law is discussed in detail in section Il.c.(2) of the <br />UGB Expansion Analysis for Employment Land. Also see related findings under OAR 660-024-0060. <br />The UGB Expansion Analysis for Park Land, Appendix C to these findings, includes consideration of the <br />location-based and other site needs for the required community parks. See section III of that Analysis. <br />This resulted in the dismissal of second-priority land that could not reasonably accommodate the <br />needed parks. See UGB Expansion Analysis for Park Land at section V.d.(1). <br />(b) Future urban services could not reasonably be provided to the higher priority lands due to <br />topographical or other physical constraints; or <br />The City of Eugene does not rely on ORS 197.298(3)(b) in its analysis of land in its study area. The City <br />does not find that service to any higher priority land "could not reasonably be provided due to <br />topographical or other physical constraints." <br />46 <br />May 2017 <br />
