Capital Hill PUD Page 57 of 67 Planned Unit Development Application - Tentative Stage - Written Statement March 3, 2017 Revised:June 19, 2017 There site is designed to promote an attractive, safe, efficient, and stable environment, which is further bolstered through the compatible mix of dwelling types on the site. In addition to the site containing a variety of residential types, including single family attached and detached units, the development is bordered by other residential development and recreational uses. As previously mentioned in this section and throughout the written statement, lots are clustered to provide access to shared facilities, which reduces the cost of new development (as opposed to extending facilities to accommodate development on the urban fringe). Again, the range of housing types provides a compatible mix of dwelling units that provide an opportunity for residents of varying economic abilities to access a neighborhood that may have previously been inaccessible. The development is at a density range that is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and provides more dwelling units to the City's overall housing supply, while still preserving natural resource areas. If the development was to build at the maximum allowable density, it would come at the detriment of preserving trees, wildlife corridors, and vegetation. For the reasons above, the PUD meets the purpose of the Planned Unit Development Overlay Zone and exceeds the standards in the above criterion. EC 9.4310 Applicability. The /PD overlay zone applies to all property where /PD is indicated on the Eugene overlay zone map, or when the PUD process is required by an adopted refinement plan. The PUD process may also be used at the request of the property owner. The provision of the /PD overlay zone supplement those of the applicable base zone or special area zone. Wherever the overlay zone and base zone or special area zone provisions conflict, the more restrictive requirement applies. Within the /PD overlay zone, applications for development permits shall not be accepted by the city for development until the development is approved according to the PUD procedures beginning at EC 9.8300 Purpose of Planned Unit Development. The site is zoned /PD. Therefore, the /PD overlay zone applies and the development must comply with the Planned Unit Development criteria contained in EC 9.8300 - EC 9.8335. EC 9.8300 Purpose of Planned Unit Development. The planned unit development (PUD) provisions are designed to provide a high degree of flexibility in the design of the site and the mix of land uses, potential environmental impacts, and are intended to: (1) Create a sustainable environment that includes: (a) Shared uses of services and facilities. (b) A compatible mix of land uses that encourage alternatives to the use of the automobile. (c) A variety of dwelling types that help meet the needs of all income groups in the community. (d) Preservation of existing natural resources and the opportunity to enhance habitat areas. (e) Clustering of residential dwellings to achieve energy and resource conservation while also achieving the planned density for the site. (2) Create a comprehensive site plans for `geographic areas of sufficient size to provide developments at least equal in quality to those that are achieved by traditional lot by lot development and that are reasonably compatible with the surrounding area. We are requesting flexibility through the PUD purpose statement for the following code criteria: EC 9.2750 Lot Coverage. The buildings for lots 6, 16, and 19 have not yet been designed. The future owners of the lots will have the flexibility of building 1, 2, or 3 units on each of these lots. The lot coverage standards for property zoned R-1 is 50%. We are requesting that if the owner chooses to build more than 1 unit on the lot, the lot coverage standards be increased to 65%.
