Evaluation of the Planned Unit Development/Needed Housing Criteria: EC 9.8325(11: The applicant has demonstrated that the proposed housing is needed housing as defined by State statutes. Oregon Revised Statutes define needed housing as follows: 197.303 "Needed housing" defined. (1) As used in ORS 197.307, until the beginning of the first periodic review of a local government's acknowledged comprehensive plan, "needed housing" means housing types determined to meet the need shown for housing within an urban growth boundary at particular price ranges and rent levels. On and after the beginning of the first periodic review of a local government's acknowledged comprehensive plan, "needed housing" also means: (a) Housing that includes, but is not limited to, attached and detached single-family housing and multiple family housing for both owner and renter occupancy; (b) Government assisted housing, (c) Mobile home or manufactured dwelling parks as provided in ORS 197475 to 197.490; and (d) Manufactured homes on individual lots planned and zoned for single-family residential use that are in addition to lots within designated manufactured dwelling subdivisions. With regard to ORS 197.303(1), the City's housing needs projection is embodied in the Eugene- Springfield Metropolitan Area Residential Lands and Housing Study Draft Supply and Demand Technical Analysis (February 1999) and Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area Residential Lands and Housing Study Draft Site Inventory Document (1999). The City's housing needs projection identifies a need for: ® Single-family detached housing, including manufactured dwellings on lots, ® Single family attached housing; ® Multi family housing; and ® Manufactured dwelling parks. In order to establish that the type of housing proposed for development is "needed housing," an applicant must show that the proposed housing falls within one of the housing types identified in the City's housing needs projection or one of the types of housing identified in the statutes as "needed housing." The first page of the applicant's written statement confirms that their request is for "tentative PUD approval for an intended 75-lot subdivision for single family housing," which is identified as needed housing within the ESRLS and at ORS 197.303(1)(a), Hearing Official Decision (PDT 10-2, CU 11-1)
