At this point south of Martin Street, West Amazon Drive is an existing unimproved right-of-way that bisects the site from north to south. The applicant seeks tentative PUD approval via the Needed Housing criteria, rather than the General criteria. As noted in the following history of land use applications, the applicant has previously applied for PUD approval for the subject property, but not under the Needed Housing criteria. The applicant also submitted an alternative set of Site Plan documents that it requested the hearings official consider if the hearings official could not approve the original site plan. Prior Related Land Use Decisions: (AZ 79-8): Annexation and rezoning. The subject property was annexed to the City of Eugene in 1979, with a concurrent rezoning from AGT Agricultural, Grazing and Timber-Raising District, to R-1/PD Low-Density Residential with Planned Unit Development overlay. (PD 98-12): West Creek PUD. This proposal, made under the City's previous land use code, was for tentative planned unit development approval of a 20-lot, single-family residential subdivision on Tax Lot 300 of the subject property. The initial staff recommendation was for denial of the proposal due to a lack of compliance with the PUD approval criteria, particularly those related to natural resource preservation. The application was withdrawn by the applicants the day of the scheduled public hearing, on April 7, 1999. (LA 99-46 and 47): Property line adjustments. These property line adjustments were performed in conjunction with the city's acquisition of a portion (approximately 13 acres) of Tax Lot 101 of the subject property for park purposes. The resulting boundary of the subject property is reflected on site plans for the current PUD application. (PD 00-2): South Park PUD. This proposal, made under the City's previous land use code, was for tentative planned unit development of a 57-lot single-family residential subdivision. The Hearings Official denied this application due to lack of compliance with several PUD criteria. Issues included the need for additional clustering of development, a reduction of development impacts to natural resources, commitment to limit impacts of grading, design parameters for proposed dwellings, and lack of accurate details regarding vegetation preservation and removal. (Z_05_-8) City of Eugene: Goal 5 Natural Resources Conservation Project. The City added the /WR Water Resources Overlay Zone to the subject property on November 4, 2005, as part of a Statewide Planning Goal 5 implementation project. (PDT 06-2): Deerbrook PUD. This proposal was for tentative planned unit development of an 81- lot single-family residential subdivision under the current land use code, but under the General (not Needed Housing) criteria. The initial staff report recommended denial for lack of evidence of compliance with the applicable approval criteria. The applicant withdrew the application prior to the public hearing.
