The applicant proposes to provide sleeping facilities for 68 residents, which translates to a <br />parking requirement of 23 spaces. As noted on project plans, the applicant has calculated the <br />parking requirement for the subject property plus adjacent properties under common <br />ownership (Tax Lots 12300 and 13100) with the intention of creating a shared parking scenario. <br />The existing residential uses on Tax Lots 12300 and 13100 generate a vehicle parking <br />requirement of 16.5 spaces, which brings the total required parking to 40 spaces for the <br />development site. <br />A 25 percent reduction to this minimum parking requirement is allowed as a right of <br />development by EC 9.6410(3)(a), which reduces the parking requirement to 30 spaces. The <br />applicant proposes to provide 32 parking spaces on the development site, which exceeds the <br />minimum required number of spaces. The majority of parking spaces within the development <br />site are located along East 16th Alley, and four legal nonconforming spaces exist around the <br />perimeter of the subject structure. <br />While the current development site meets parking standards, the applicant should also note <br />that future changes (i.e. change in ownership or new development) will require involved parties <br />to address onsite parking to ensure compliance. Future intensification of uses on the site, for <br />example, would likely require construction of new parking areas or procurement of an off-site <br />parking agreement. <br />For additional details regarding the parking calculations and configurations, please see Sheet <br />A 1.1 (Site Plan) of the applicant's plans. <br />(c) If the proposal involves a residential use, the project is designed, sited and/or <br />adequately buffered to minimize off-site impacts which could adversely affect the <br />future residents of the subject property. <br />The intention of this subsection is to address situations where residential uses are proposed <br />near existing incompatible uses normally associated with industrial and commercial zones. In <br />this case, the subject site is surrounded by medium and high density residential uses that <br />function similarly to the proposed use. Because it is not expected that nearby uses will <br />negatively impact future residents of the campus living organization, no mitigation to address <br />the above criterion is necessary. <br />Based on these findings, EC 9.8090(2) is met. <br />EC 9.8090(3): The location, design, and related features of the proposal provides a <br />convenient and functional living, working, shopping or civic environment, and is as <br />attractive as the nature of the use and its location and setting warrant. <br />The area surrounding the subject property has a mix of uses, but is mostly developed with <br />medium to high density residential uses that accommodate University of Oregon students.
