June 16, 2017 Page 8 <br />The City presumably will seek to change the zoning and Metro plan to designate Lots 3 and 4 <br />as MDR, to allow intended development. Logically, and under the refinement plan, the other <br />lots should be designated MDR. Lots 1 and 2 show as vacant in property explorer so it is <br />unclear why they show as developed in the BLI. Lot 2 had a house demolished in 2006. <br />Where the BLI showed combined vacant 0.84 acres LDR for Lots 1-3, should it instead show <br />vacant 2.62 acres MDR. This would add 28 multifamily du for these three lots. <br />G. Potential Error Where Partially Vacant MDR Should Be Vacant MDR (up to 41 du) <br />Tax lot 17041534-00202 (3.83 acres) shows on BLI map 4 as partially vacant MDR, and is <br />shown as MDR in the Metro Plan. Property explorer for the lot shows no development other <br />than streets, no associated addresses and there are no building permits in online records for <br />the tax lot. The Property Classification is Multifamily Vacant, and the tax improvement RMV <br />is zero. Should this lot be listed as vacant MDR? <br />V. City Exclusion of Certain Capacity for Other Purposes May Not Be Appropriate <br />A. Exclusion of 30 acres HDR Capacity Related to UO Non-Housing Needs (645 du) <br />The City deducted from the land supply 30 acres of HDR land, which was indicated to be for <br />UO non-housing needs over the 20 years. This deduction is significant since it represents <br />645 du capacity, 40% of the 1,617 du MDR/HDR multifamily housing deficit claimed by the <br />City. <br />City staff indicated they had been advised by the UO that it would need 30 acres HDR and 15 <br />acres Commercial during the 20 year planning period for non-housing needs. I requested but <br />have not yet received from City staff a copy of the earlier communication from UO staff <br />indicating and/or discussing that need. The Campus Physical Framework Vision Project <br />Report indicates that the UO has enough land within the boundaries specified in the <br />document to accommodate a variety of potential growth scenarios. My understanding from <br />UO Planning staff was that there was no plan to acquire additional HDR land for the main UO <br />Campus. <br />A review of HDR land in the vicinity of the University shows that such land is located in the <br />West and South University neighborhoods. The University, directly or indirectly, appears to <br />own about two acres of such HDR land in those neighborhoods, with 0.6 acres already in <br />multifamily housings There has been a significant amount of private multifamily residential <br />construction in those neighborhoods on HDR land, close to the University, since 2012, <br />significantly increasing property values. It seems unlikely that the University would purchase <br />those expensive newly developed properties for non-housing redevelopment or that it would <br />purchase properties further away from the University, beyond that new development and not <br />adjacent to the campus. <br />a See Tax lots 17033234-00800 (0.3 acres, 818 E. 15th); 17033231-02900 (1.2 acres, split Metro <br />plan designation of HDR and COM); 18030511-08600 (0.2 acres); 18030511-08500 (0.1 acres); <br />18030511-08200 (0.1 acres); 18030511-08300 (0.2 acres). <br />
