depending on each jurisdictions implementation measures and land use <br />and development codes) <br /> High density: Over 20 dwelling units per gross acre (could translate to over <br />28.56 units per net acre depending on each jurisdiction’s implementation <br />measures and land use and development codes) <br />A.10Promote higher residential density inside the UGB that utilizes existing <br />infrastructure, improves the efficiency of public services and facilities, and <br />conserves rural resource lands outside the UGB. <br />A.11 Generally locate higher density residential development near employment <br />or commercial services, in proximity to major transportation systems or <br />within transportation-efficient nodes. <br />A.12 Coordinate higher density residential development with the provision of <br />adequate infrastructure and services, open space, and other urban <br />amenities. <br />A.13 Increase overall residential density in the metropolitan area by creating <br />more opportunities for effectively designed in-fill, redevelopment, and <br />mixed use while considering impacts of increased residential density on <br />historic, existing and future neighborhoods. <br /> <br />Consistent with these policies, some parcels in the subject area will be preserved at low densities, <br />while other parcels will be re-designated as low-medium, medium, or high density residential. The <br />low-medium residential designation is a new designation created according to the direction of Policy <br />A.9, providing an intermediate option between low and medium residential densities and to <br />specifically implement the newly proposed Single Family Options (SFO) zoning subdistrict. This <br />designation, in accordance with Policy A.10, can promote higher density development in appropriate <br />locations, as proposed in the subject area. The new or amended designations and corresponding <br />zoning will encourage higher densities along Willamette Street, an identified key transit corridor and <br />core commercial area. <br /> <br />Additionally, the proposed amendments are needed as part of a package of Envision Eugene <br />strategies intended to promote denser housing types in downtown, along Key Transit Corridors and in <br />core commercial areas. The high density residential areas will provide a transition to the Mixed Use <br />subdistrict at the center of the subject area. Based on these findings, the proposed amendments and <br />zone changes are consistent with Policies A.9, A.10, A.11, A.12 and A.13. <br /> <br />A. 14 Review local zoning and development regulations periodically to remove <br />barriers to higher density housing and to make provision for a full range of <br />housing options. <br />A.15 Develop a wider range of zoning options such as new zoning districts, to <br />fully utilize existing Metro Plan density ranges. <br />A. 16 Allow for the development of zoning districts which allow overlap of the <br />established Metro Plan density ranges to promote housing choice and <br />result in either maintaining or increasing housing density in those districts. <br />Under no circumstances, shall housing densities be allowed below existing <br />Metro Plan density ranges. <br /> <br />Findings - 12 <br />
