Capital Hill PUD Page 55 of 63 <br />Planned Unit Development Application - Tentative Stage - Written Statement <br />March 3, 2017 <br />way that this important community resource is visually protected and buffered from as much <br />development as feasible. Moreover, the development requests flexibility regarding lot coverage <br />standards to ensure the City's housing and infill strategies are appropriately integrated into the site <br />design. This decision is also based on feedback from neighbors and city staff. <br />Finally, the requested flexibility for lot frontage is based on a number of concerns from neighbors <br />and City staff. If each lot was arranged in such a way as to have frontage on Capital Drive and <br />Street A, many units and valuable natural area would be lost. Dispersed access through a mixture <br />of easements, Capital Drive, and Street A is a far safer and efficient way to provide access to lots, <br />while also ensuring the development is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. Considering <br />the unique qualities of this neighborhood, a traditional lot-by-lot approach to development, which <br />many of the R-1 standards support, is not always an effective way to ensure either compatibility or <br />well-designed infill. <br />Therefore, we request that the development be given flexibility though the PUD process with <br />respect to the three criteria above. <br />EC 9.5500 Multiple-Family Standards. <br />(2) Applicability of Multiple-Family Standards <br />(a) Except for building alterations and building additions that increase the square footage of <br />livable floor area by less than 50%, multiple family standards shall apply to all multiple <br />family developments in all zones except commercial.. . <br />The property is zoned R-1. There are 3 proposed lots, lots 7, 18, and 35, which could <br />potentially be required to respond to these development standards. The lots are proposed <br />for development of 1 to 3 units, each of which are single family attached. If the owner of <br />either of those lots proposes 3 single family attached units, then this section will apply. If <br />they propose less than the maximum number of units allowed on those lots, then this <br />section will not apply. Compliance with this section can be evaluated at time of building <br />permit submittal. No units are proposed as a part of this PUD submittal. <br />Table EC 9.6105(4) Minimum Required Bicycle Parking Spaces <br />There are no bike parking requirements for single family lots. <br />Lots 7, 18, and 35 may or may not be developed with multiple units. This criterion will be evaluated <br />for compliance at time of building permit submittal. <br />Lot 34 contains a 3-unit apartment and EC 9.6105(4) requires 1 long-term bike parking space per <br />unit. Therefore, 3 long term bike parking spaces are shown on the plan. <br />EC 9.6205 Landscape Standards <br />There are no landscaping standards for proposed single family lots. <br />Lot 34 is a 3-unit apartment on one tax lot and is an existing non-conforming use. Therefore, it is <br />exempt from these standards. Lots 7, 18, and 35 may or may not be developed with multiple units. <br />This criterion will be evaluated for compliance at time of building permit submittal. <br />Table EC 9.6410 Required Off-Street Motor Vehicle Parking <br />The off-street motor vehicle parking requirement for single family and multiple-family housing is 1 <br />parking space per dwelling unit. See Site Plan for parking for existing buildings. <br />All vacant lots, except lots 7, 18, and 35, will contain single family homes and will likely have <br />driveways and garages where the vehicles will park. Maneuvering will be through backing onto the <br />street. <br />Lots 7, 18, and 35 may contain 1 to 3 units. The requirements for parking will be evaluated at time <br />of building permit submittal. If these lots are proposed with the maximum of 3 units, then they will <br />be designed to provide parking that prevents backing onto the private drive or public street. <br />(11)The proposed development shall have minimal off-site impacts, including such impacts as traffic, <br />noise, stormwater runoff and environmental quality. <br />Schirmer Satre Group • 375 West 4 'h Avenue, Suite 201, Eugene, OR 97401 • (541) 686-4540 <br />
