Heather O'Donnell <br />Associate Planner <br />August 15, 2008 <br />Page 2 <br />The types of housing-included in the City's housing needs projection and the types of <br />housing statutorily defined as "needed housing" constitute the types of "needed housing" in <br />Eugene. <br />Although "needed housing" is not synonymous with "all housing," between the types of <br />housing identified in the statutes as "needed housing" and the "needed housing" identified in the <br />City's-housing needs projection, much, if not all, of the housing constructed in the City could be <br />classified as "needed housing." <br />In accordance with state law, once an applicant establishes that, the type of housing <br />proposed for development is "needed .housing," the applicant may opt to proceed under the <br />Eugene Code's clear and objective approval standards. In order to establish that the type of <br />housing proposed for development is "needed housing" ~ an applicant, must show that the <br />proposed housing falls within one of the housing types identified in the City's housing needs <br />projection or one of the types of housing identified in the statutes as "needed housing." <br />HARRANG LONG GARY RUDNICK P.C. - <br />CITY ATTORNEYS <br />Lauren ers <br />LAS:abm <br />-00203375.DOC;2 <br />f 1 <br />1096 <br />
