Written Statement <br /> Chamotee Trails PUD <br /> February 3, 2015 <br /> <br />of the approval criteria found in EC 9.8325 Tentative Planned Unit Development <br />Approval Criteria Needed Housing. <br />This application includes needed housing. The needed housing approval criteria <br />apply as follows: <br /> <br />9.8325 Tentative Planned Unit Development Approval Criteria Needed Housing. <br />The hearings official shall approve, conditionally approve, or deny the PUD application <br />with findings and conclusions. Unless the applicant elects to use the general criteria <br />contained in EC 9.8320 Tentative Planned Unit Development Approval Criteria <br />General, where the applicant proposes needed housing, as defined by the State statutes, <br />the hearings official shall approve or approve with conditions a PUD based on <br />compliance with the following criteria: <br />(1) The applicant has demonstrated that the proposed housing is needed housing as <br />defined by State statutes. <br />ORS 197.303(1)(a)-(d) provides a definition of needed housing which is locally <br />implemented by the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area Residential Lands <br />and Housing Study Draft Supply and Demand Technical Analysis (1999) and the <br />Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area Residential Lands and Housing Study <br />Draft Site Inventory Document (1997). The site is included in Subarea 6 <br />Southeast Eugene in the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area Residential <br />Lands and Housing Study Draft Site Inventory Document (1997), but is not given <br />a specific site number since it is less than 10 acres of low density. Although the <br />Envision Eugene process is creating updated studies and documentation, those <br />studies and documentation are not yet adopted and therefore are not applicable <br />to this application. The local documents identify a need for single-family housing <br />which is an allowed needed housing type under the state definition. This <br />definition and a category with identified need. <br /> <br />(2) The proposed land uses and densities within the PUD are consistent with the land <br />use designation(s) shown on the Metro Plan Land Use Diagram, as refined in any <br />applicable refinement plan. <br />The Metro Plan Land Use Diagram designates the site as Low Density <br />Residential. Metro Plan Policy A.9 describes Low Density Residential as having <br />a density of 10 units/gross acre or 14.28 units/net acre. EC 9.9630(2)(b) <br />establishes the maximum South Hills Study density east of Friendly Street as 5 <br />units/gross acre. The discussion under EC 9.8310(4) is net density so not <br />applicable to this discussion. Based on the gross density definition at EC 9.0500, <br />the Open Space and half the adjoining street rights-of-way are included in the <br />density calculations. Based on this, the PUD is 10 units on 5.19 gross acres <br />(226,280 gross square feet) for a density of 1.9 units/gross acre. <br />Branch Engineering, Inc. <br /> Page 4 of 13 <br />
