D. Goal 4—Forest Lands Goal 4 relates to the preservation of forest lands. An exception to this goal was previously adopted by Marion County and acknowledged by LCDC, effective on March 31, 1985. Therefore, LCDC has advised that a new exception to this goal is unnecessary and the Board can find that Goal 4 has been met. E. Goal 5—Open Spaces, Scenic and Historic Areas and Natural Resources No Goal 5 natural resources (wetlands, riparian areas, wildlife habitat, etc.) are present on the subject property. F. Goal 6—Air, Water and Land Resources Quality Goal 6 addresses waste and process discharges from future development and requires local governments to determine that the future discharges, when combined with existing development, would not threaten to violate or violate applicable state or federal environmental quality statutes, rules and standards. The applicant has submitted evidence establishing that it will comply with any applicable state and federal environmental laws and regulations all down the line. Therefore, Goal 6 will be met. G. Goal 7—Area Subject to Natural Disasters and Hazards No such areas have been identified on the site; therefore, Goal 7 is not applicable. H. Goal 8—Recreational Needs The area is not identified as a recreational resource by the county, and the application does not request approval as a destination resort; therefore, Goal 8 is not applicable. I. Goal 9—Economic Development Goal 9 requires that local government provide adequate opportunities for a variety of economic activities vital to the health, welfare and prosperity of the citizens of Oregon. The new resort will encourage economic development in Marion County by stimulating the tourism industries in the County, and providing new employment opportunities at the resort. The construction of the resort will also result in a number of temporary construction jobs that will benefit the county. The Board finds that the subdivision is consistent with Goal 9. J. Goal 10—Housing Goal 10 relates to housing needs, and is not applicable to this application. K. Goal 11 —Public Facilities and Services Goal 11 requires local governments to plan and develop a timely, orderly and efficient arrangement of public facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural development. Goal 11 does not allow the provision of urban services outside the UGB. The applicant has requested an exception to Goal 11 and compliance with the Goal 11 exception criteria is addressed below in Section IX of the findings, which conclude that the applicable exception criteria are satisfied. L. Goal 12—Transportation Goal 12 requires a safe, convenient, and economic transportation system. The Traffic Impact Study ("TIS")prepared by DKS Associates dated August 2007 demonstrates that the proposed subdivision will not have significant adverse impact on the county transportation plan nor will it prevent the county from meeting any of its citizens'transportation needs. -6-
