.H OAKLEIGH <br />1l1?z 1U0IV <br />~iA e9a as in ad~i <br />The PUD proposes 47 on-site parking spaces or 1.7 per unit. The resident parking <br />is a combination of open parking (31), carports (8), and garages (8) that directly <br />reflects the interest of the future buyers. We'll also be providing bike shed <br />parking for 54. <br />We see car ownership decreasing in cohousing. When you know all your <br />neighbors and a culture of cooperation and resource efficiency is inherent in the <br />community, it is easy to borrow a neighbor's car for the occasional time when <br />your family might need a second vehicle. At similar-sized cohousing <br />communities, we have seen households reduce their number of cars until all <br />households that are couples (both working in all cases) have only one vehicle. <br />Noise generated by the PUD will be typical for a single-family residential <br />development. Additionally, the proposed parking and vegetation layout and also <br />the existing large Cedars to the North of the subject property will help to deflect <br />noises back into the development site. <br />Stormwater management for the proposed development is supported in part by <br />natural infiltration through vegetated swales, rain gardens, and rip-rap, which is. <br />indicated on the included Stormwater Plan. The rip-rap is placed near the East <br />property line of the subject site. In addition to these drainage basins, a berm is <br />proposed along the entire East property line of the subject site to protect the <br />adjacent property from stormwater run-off. <br />The PUD fits into the River Road context by proposing architecturally-inspired <br />local details and forms of 19th Century Lane County homes and buildings. Large <br />covered porches follow the patterns of traditional architecture of the region <br />while also matching the existing residential neighborhood context, which <br />encourages outdoor living and interaction with neighbors. <br />EC9.8320(13)- THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT SHALL BE REASONABLY COMPATIBLE AND <br />HARMONIOUS WITH ADJACENT AND NEARBY LAND USES. <br />Findings: The proposed development site is congruent with nearby land uses. <br />Adjacent land uses include single-family residential (R-1) to the North, vacant <br />land (R-1) to the West, single-family residences (R-1 and 11-2) to the South, and <br />vacant city-owned land (PL) to the East. The city property borders the Park, Trail <br />System, and Willamette River to the East. The proposed development on the <br />West, North, and South of the subject site will be residential while the East will <br />be dedicated to open space. Additionally, pedestrian paths will reinforce the <br />connection between the residential neighborhood and the Greenway. <br />PUD Tentative -June 14, 2013 Page 44 of 46 Oakleigh Cohousing PDT 13-0001 1403 <br />
