EC 9.8090(7): The proposal does not create any significant risk to public health and <br />safety, including but not limited to soil erosion and flood hazard, or an impediment to <br />emergency response. <br />The subject property is not located within a regulatory Special Flood Hazard Area, as mapped by <br />the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) <br />41039C-1137-F, dated June 2, 1999. Further, the project does not create an impediment to <br />emergency response. <br />Based on these findings, EC 9.8090(7) is met. <br />EC 9.8090(8): The proposal complies with all applicable standards, including but not <br />limited to: <br />(a) EC 9.2000 through 9.3915 regarding lot dimensions, solar standards, and <br />density requirements for the subject zone; <br />Lot dimension and solar standards do not apply because the project does not propose any new <br />lots or structures. Further, solar standards are only applicable in R-1 and R-2 zones. <br />The maximum allowable density in the R-3 zone is 56 units per acre; however, the applicant <br />suggests that density requirements are not applicable. Staff agrees with the applicant, as the <br />Eugene Code does not specify a method to calculate residential density for Campus Living <br />Organizations. EC 9.271(1) specifies minimum and maximum density requirements based on <br />the number of dwellings. Given that a Campus Living Organization is not built or intended to <br />function with separate dwelling units, staff concludes that this code section does not apply. <br />Although considered under a previous code, the last CUP application related to a Campus Living <br />Organization was submitted in 1986 (CU 86-4) for expansion of the Delta Zeta sorority; density <br />calculations were not discussed in the staff report as no approval criteria related to density <br />existed at the time. <br />Based on these findings, EC 9.8090(8)(a) is met. <br />(b) EC 9.6500 through EC 9.6505 Public Improvement Standards <br />EC 9.6500 Easements authorizes the City to require dedication of easements for public utilities <br />and access under certain circumstances. The applicant does not propose nor has Public Works <br />staff identified the need for additional public easements to address stormwater or wastewater <br />needs for present or future development of the area. <br />EC 9.6505 Public Improvement Standards requires that all public improvements be designed and <br />constructed in accordance with adopted plans, policies, procedures and standards specified in EC <br />Chapter 7. No public improvements are proposed or required of this development; however, all <br />Serenity Lane (CU 15-2) August 2015 9 <br />HO Agenda - Page 9 <br />
