Goal 14 Locational Factors Section 6: The findings and analysis in Sections 1 and 2 of findings demonstrate that (1) insufficient land exists in the UGB to meet identified residential land needs, (2) there are no suitable sites within the existing UGB that will meet the parkland need, and (3) the city has insufficient land within the UGB to meet the 62-acre deficit of commercial land. Section 6 includes additional findings demonstrating compliance Goal 14 locational factors. As explained in OAR 660-024-0060(5): In determining need, local government may specify characteristics, such as parcel size, topography or proximity, necessary for land to be suitable for an identified need and limit its consideration to land that has the specified characteristics when it conducts the boundary location alternatives analysis and applies ORS 197.298. Evaluation of high-value commercial study areas for UGB expansion Section 5 concluded that Junction City could meet portions of the commercial land need through (1) land use efficiencies within the UGB; (2) including suitable exceptions areas within the UGB and achieving land use efficiencies on those lands; and (3) adding additional high-value agricultural land. Section 5 concluded that three sites might potentially meet the need for a 35-acre sub-regional commercial center (HV 2-D, HV 3, and HV 5). It also concluded: on the preceding analysis, the City finds Area HV 3 to be a better “..based alternative than Areas 2-D or HV 5. The next section provides further analysis of these three areas based on the Goal 14 criteria.” This section further evaluates these study areas against the Goal 14 criteria. Table 6-1.
