Goal 9, Adopted Plans and Fmdmgs I The adequacy of land inventOrIes must be demonstrated by adopted and acknowledged studies and plans HaVing provided adequate inventOrIes of each type of land meeting Goal 9 and Goal 1 0 needs, local authorIties should strIve to maintain these inventOrIes In an economically sustainable eqUIlibrIum Once adequacy IS established, a local JUrIsdictIOn may adjust those

plan but the "most recent economIC opportumtIes analysIs" The SCLS IS that analysIs as It pertams to commerCIal lands wlthm the Spnngfleld Urban Growth Boundary Goal One also suggests that the SCLS cannot be consIdered because It does not address the entIre metro urban growth boundary area ThIs IS not a convmcmg argument The Eugene CommerCIal Lands Study certamly does not address the whole metro

analysIs of the mventones for the affected mventones, medIUm density residentIal, commercial, and mdustnal Updated tables are attached hereto as Exhibit A Goal One would argue that the analysIs IS deficient because "The JunsdlctIonally focused SCLS does not analyze supply and demand for the entire Metro UGH area and cannot be relied upon to establish consistency with the reqUirements of OAR 660-009-0010(4), which establishes that the proposed PAPA be consistent with both the most recent economic opportumtIes analysIs (I e the 2000 SCLS) and the comprehensive plan " Goal One letter, p 5 The SCLS IS the most recent economic opportumty analysIs for commercial lands The only other analyses that eXist m the Metro Plan area IS the Eugene Commercial Lands Study, WhiCh, of course, only addresses the Eugene portIOn of the Metro Plan, and the Commercial Economic Opportumty AnalysIs mcorporated mto the Metro Plan, mcludmg the Spnngfleld portIOn of the Metro Plan area, created sometIme before 1987 The rule calls for consistency with the most recent economic opportumty analysIs for the area To not consider the SCLS would be mconslstent with that rule Goal One also faults heavy reliance on the 2000 SCLS to analyze supply and demand because no consideratIOn IS given to the amount of land added to the commercIal mventory by means of applicant ImtIated and City approved zone changes and plan amendments smce that study The admmlstratlve rule calls for consistency with economiC analysIs and does not reqUire an analysIs updated by anecdotal mformatlOn It IS noted, however, the SNRS did con tam Mayor SId Lelken CIty Councll May 29, 2007 Page 4 mventory adjustments to the time of the study and reflects a shortage of commercIal lands Goal One contends that rellance cannot be placed on the Spnngfield Natural Resource Study (SNRS), adopted by Ordmance No 6150 on November 28, 2005 1t IS argued that, whIle the mventones mIght be relevant to the proposal, an analysIs of the entire UGB area IS necessary to establlsh an accurate pIcture of the supply of commercIal lands Here agam, there IS the unsupported assertIOn that any mventory that does not encompass the entire Metro area IS of no Import There sImply IS no basIs for thIs assertIOn The SNRS IS the last true mventory to be adopted and acknowledged Policies of the Economic Element of the Metro Plan The pollC1es most dIrectly relevant to the proposal are Pollcles 6 and 12 Pollcy 6 states "Increase the amount of undeveloped land zoned for hght mdustnal and commerCIal uses correlatmg the effective supply m terms of sUltablllty and avallablllty for the projectIOns of demand" Pollcy 12 states "DIscourage future Metro Plan amendments that would change development-ready mdustnallands (sItes defmed as short-term metropolltan Industnal Lands Speczal Study, 1991) to non-mdustnal designatIOns" The Metro Plan addresses the Issue of conflIct between pollcles "The respective JunsdlctlOns recognIze there are apparent conflicts and mconslstencles between and among some goals and pollcles when makmg decIsIOns not based on the Metro Plan Not all of the goals and pollcles can be met to the same degree m every mstance Use of the Metro Plan reqUIres a balancmg of ItS vanous components on a case-by-case basIs, as well as a selectIOn of those goals, objectives, and pollcles most pertment to the Issue at hand" Mayor Sid Lelken City Councll May 29, 2007 Page 5 Oregon LUBA cases confirm that where plan pollcles conflIct, the governmg body may consIder and balance those plan pollcles favormg some over others based on that balance See Welch v Czty of Portland, 28 Or LUBA 439 (1994) Among the other factors, the particular language used m a pollcy can bear upon how those pollcles are weighed Pollcy 6 clearly calls for an mcrease m the amount of undeveloped land "zoned for llght mdustnal and commercial uses correlatmg the effectIVe supply m terms of sUltablllty and aVallablllty with proJectIOns of demand" while Pollcy 12 only seeks to "dIscourage" amendments changmg mdustnalland to nonmdustnal deSIgnatIOns In Bothman v Czty of Eugene, 5 I Or LUBA 426 (2006), the pollcy called upon the CIty to "recognIze" eXlstmg use and discouraged reZOnIng of the subJect property LUBA recognIzed that the pollcy expressed a clear pollcy preference that this particular parcel retam ItS eXlstmg zonmg LUBA stated "WhIle that preference IS not absolute, and can be overcome by suffICient reasons and/ or competmg pollcy consideratIOns, wntten context pollcy clearly reqUIres the city to at least consrder whether the appllcant has establlshed a baSIS to overcome that pollcy preference" In that mstance, the pollcy was directed at the particular property at Issue and LUBA found the pollcy not mandatory but one that must be consIdered The Goal One CoalltlOn argument that Pollcy 6 only speaks to zonmg, not change m Plan deSignatIOn, of land for commerCIal use has no valldlty ObvIOusly, additIOnal land wllI not be avaIlable for rezonmg to a commercIal zone If the land IS not redeSignated for that purpose In the present case, the record establlshes that the particular site has long been avaIlable for speClalllght mdustnal use yet has not been I developed With the CI uses The site has constramts not recognIzed m the Metropohtan IndustnaI Lands Special Study It IS m prOXImity to the Kmgsford charcoal plant, overhead electncalllnes and nearby rail lmes whIch cause problems to certam types of high technology mdustnes Also, not contemplated at the tIme of the Metropolltan IndustnaI Lands SpecIal Study was a shortage of commercial lands m Mayor Sid Lelken CIty CouncIl May 29, 2007 Page 6 SprmgfleId revealed by the SCLS The agenda packet on pages 6-28 through 6-34 puts forth additIOnal JustifIcatIOn for welghmg EconomIc Element Pollcy 6 more heavIly Goal One states that all 30 of the EconomIc pollcles "should be addressed m some manner" That IS not the case All relevant pollcles should be addressed Policy 5 - Provide existing industrial activities sufficient adjacent land for future expansion. There IS no eVIdence that there are eXlstmg mdustnal activIties m the area of the subJect sIte with need of addItIOnal adJacent land for expansIOn The fact that the land has remamed undevcloped for many years IS mdlcatlOn that there IS not the need for that expansIOn Policy 7 - Encourage mdustrlal park development, mcludmg areas for warehousing and distributive mdustrIes and research and development actIvitIes. This pollcy is Irrelevant It IS dIrected to the Issue of the manner of mdustnal development, Ie, m an mdustnal park rather than Isolated developments Policy 9 - Encourage the expansion of existing and the location of new manufacturing activities which are characterized by low levels of pollution and efficient energy use. Agam, thIS pollcy IS not relevant to the Issue at hand The pollcy encourages the nurtunng of particular mdustnes, those charactenzed by llttle pollutIOn and energy efficIency Policy 15 - Encourage compatibility between mdustrially zoned lands and adjacent areas in local planning program. The pollcy IS Irrelevant as are Goal One's comments under the pollcy Policy 16 - Utilize processes and local controls which encourage retention of large parcels or consolidation of small parcels of industrially or commercially zoned land to facilitate their use or reuse in a comprehensive rather than piecemeal fashion. i The pollcy IS dIrected to CIty "process" and "controls" and doe;s not go the Issue of whether thIS land should be converted to other uses Mayor SId Lelken City Council May 29, 2007 Page 7 WhIle the pollcy directs the staff to encourage retentIOn of large parcels of mdustnally zoned and designated land, the pohcy goes more to dlscouragmg parcellzatlOn of such properties, whIch mIght discourage their use m a comprehcnslve manner Policy 21 - Reserve several areas within the UGH for large scale, campus type, hght manufacturmg uses. Several areas, much larger than the subJect site, remam for large scale, campus type llght manufactunng use, as shown on the Metro Plan DIagram Policy 28 - Recogmze the vital role of neighborhood commercial facilities in providing services and goods to a partIcular neighborhood ThIs pollcy has no appllcablllty to the proposal The pollcy IS directed pnmanly at makmg prOVISIOn for and preservmg the commerCIal facllltles that serve particular neighborhoods The proposed redeslgnatlOn IS consistent wlthm the pollcles of the EconomIc Element of the Metro Plan LUBA will defer to Spnngfleld's mterpretatlOn of those pollcles unlcss they are "clearly wrong" See Jaqua v Spnngfield, supra The Goal One letter addressed Goal 10 - Housmg It cntlclzes a proposal for addmg an addItIOnal 19 acres of residential land The Metro Plan does not prohIbIt surpluses of the vanous mventones Goal 12 - TransportatIOn IS discussed m the Goal One letter A transportatIOn Impact analysIs has been submitted and approved by the City Goal One raises the Issue of Goal 6 - Air, Water, and Land Resources Quallty Goal One contends that the additIOnal traffiC from thiS development WIll encourage more auto use and auto emIssIons and that thiS should be conSIdered under Goal 6 LUBA has made clear that Goal 6 IS llmlted, by ItS terms, to discharges from the proposed development Itself See Marcott Holdmgs, Inc v CIty ofTzgard, 30 Or LUBA 101 (1995) Goal One cItes Goal 13 - Energy and fmds that the proposed development IS contrary to that goal because the CoalltlOn deems It an Mayor Sid Lelken City Council May 29, 2007 Page 8 auto-dependent use Goal 13 has rarely been relled upon as a basIs for a deCIsIOn m particular land use cases The goal IS pnmanly directed towards the development of local government land management Implementmg measures whIch maximIze energy conservatIOn and IS not appllcable to mdlvldual land use actIOns Conclusion It IS submitted that the appllcatlOn does satlsfactonly address Statewide Goals, apphcabIe pollcy documents, and the Metro Plan Respe tfully su Jca cc SC Sprmgfleld, LLC Attachment ExhIbit A - Tables A " EXHIBIT A Land Supply by Most Recent Acknowledged Type-Specific Study Acres Inventory PAPA f1 Total 239 19 258 -158 37 -121 2,954 -56 2,898 2,432 -56 2,376 General Use Med Density Res Commercial Industrial (high est) I nd ustrlal (lowest) UBG Metro Springfield Metro Metro Plan Yr 2015 2015 2010 2010 f1% 8% 23% -2% -2% Note that the commercial supply percentage change represents a reduction of the deficit Land Supply by Most Recent Acknowledged Post-Study Inventory Acres General Use UBG Plan Yr Inventory PAPA f1 Total Med Density Res Metro 2015 239 19 258 Commercial Springfield 2015 -172 37 -135 Industrial (high est) Metro 2010 2,122 -56 2,066 Industrial (lowest) Metro 2010 1,600 -56 1 544 Note that the commercial supply percentage change represents a reduction of the deficit Source Metro Plan SCLS MILPR MILPT f1% Source 8% Metro Plan 22%SNRS -3% SNRS -4% SNRS
