Capital Hill PUD Page 13 of 67 Planned Unit Development Application - Tentative Stage - Written Statement March 3, 2017 Revised:June 19, 2017 proposed). The land use code does allow for 65 units on this number of acres, but limiting the density speaks to the preservation of natural resources and neighborhood livability, while still providing compatible infill development on existing streets. Designing a plan with larger lots, so as to elicit a comment from staff of "looks like a traditional subdivision" ; means that greater consideration is given to reducing the impacts of grading individual sites and unnecessarily removing existing trees. Experience tells us that smaller lots means more site disturbance, while larger lots allows for greater tree preservation, increasing the amount of undisturbed existing ground, limiting erosion, and preserving positive qualities of the existing site. a. Shared use of services and facilities: The clustering of residential structures near required streets, where the existing dwellings are located, is an excellent example of the sharing of services and facilities. By locating multiple units along the same connections, existing as well as proposed services can be shared, which eliminates the need for redundant or multiple systems. Existing services, such as utilities and existing roads, will be able to serve more people as opposed to creating living areas further away from existing services and requiring an extension of those services. This development is created in direct response to the need for density and infill within the existing Urban Growth Boundary. In this manner, energy conservation goals are achieved as well. b. A compatible mix of land uses that encourage alternatives to the use of the automobile: The design of this development site proposes a modest mix of land uses. It combines residential uses (i.e. single family attached and single family detached) with abundant access to recreation. In addition, the site exists within a greater mix of uses in the surrounding neighborhood context. While the site is designed primarily as a residential property, the development site abuts Hendricks Park to the north and provides connections to the Ribbon Trail (local hiking trail with connections to Hendricks Park and the Laurelwood Golf Course). The walking and biking opportunities are abundant, as is the opportunity to be in a natural environment in an urban setting. It is highly likely that alternatives such as walking, passive recreation, and biking will provide some alternative to utilizing the automobile, as opportunities are literally right outside the residents' front doors. The location of the site in close proximity to: Commercial Centers /Employment Center • Just over 1 % miles from the intersection of Hilyard Street and East 24th Avenue, a commercial center that contains Sundance Natural Grocers, Paul's Bicycle Way of Life, Sundance Wine Cellars, Black Sun Book store, and many more eating and retail establishments. • 1 mile from the intersection of East 19th Avenue and Agate Street, a commercial node that features McMenamins East 19th Street Cafe, Beppe and Gianni's Restaurant, Prince Pucklers Ice Cream, Sweet Life Bakery, Tom's Market and other small retail shops. • 1 mile from the University of Oregon: one of the top employers in the Eugene/Springfield area • 3 miles from Downtown Eugene • 3 miles from Woodfield Station, a significant commercial/retail center and Willamette Street, a commercial/retail corridor. Education/Recreation • 1 mile from the University of Oregon • Recreation right outside residents' front doors: Hendricks Park directly abuts the north property line of the development site • Less than 1 mile from a public golf course (Laurelwood Golf course) Schirmer Satre Group • 375 West 4 m Avenue, Suite 201, Eugene, OR 97401 • (541) 686-4540
