Capital Hill PUD Page 49 of 67 <br />Planned Unit Development Application - Tentative Stage - Written Statement <br />March 3, 2017 (Revised:June 19, 2017, August 22, 2017) <br />The entire site is reserved for the exclusive use of the residents in the development. The <br />total site (net) is 13.10 acres or 570,485 sf. <br />(c) For purposes for calculating net density: <br />1. The acreage of land considered part of the residential use shall exclude public and <br />private streets and alleys, public parks, and other public facilities. <br />2. In calculating the minimum net density required for a specific lot or development site, <br />the planning director shall round down to the previous whole number. <br />3. In calculating the maximum net density allowed for specific lot or development site, the <br />planning director shall round up to the next whole number only for: <br />a. A lot or development site that is 13, 500 square feet or more in area; <br />b. A lot or development site that is not abutting the boundary of, or directly across an <br />alley from land zoned R-1; and <br />c. Fractions of.75 or above. <br />4. At the request of the developer, the acreage described in 1. above, also may include <br />natural or historic resources.... . <br />Density is calculated by using the acreage for the entire development site and <br />excluding the area dedicated for public right-of-way. The total development site is <br />13.63 acres. The net acreage is 13.10 acres, excluding the proposed private drive. The <br />proposed unit count is 35 - 37 units making the net density 2.67 - 2.82 units per acre, <br />well within the maximum of 5 units per acre allowed in property zoned R-1 and located <br />in the South Hills Study area east of Friendly Street. <br />Lot Area Minimum: 4500 SF <br />All lots meet minimum lot area (see Site Plan for lot area) <br />Lot Area Maximum: 13,500 SF <br />See exceptions listed below. <br />EC 9.2762 Special Standards for Table 9.2760. <br />(1) Lot Standards <br />(c) Lot area, frontage, and width minimums may be modified with an approved <br />cluster subdivision in R-1 or Planned Unit Development (PUD) in any zone. <br />Lot area maximum and lot frontage is being modified and is discussed in the <br />Purpose Statement of the PUD. <br />(5) Exceptions to the maximum lot size shall be granted if any of the following is met: <br />(a) Existing physical circumstances such as topographically constrained lands, <br />conservation easements, existing buildings, or utility easements prevent the <br />ability to further divide the lot. <br />(d) The exception will enable the protection of natural resources. <br />In this case both of these exceptions apply. <br />Lots 4, 20, 22, and 23 and contain existing buildings and other physical <br />features associated with those buildings (i.e. driveways, garden spaces, etc.) <br />that preclude reducing these lots below the maximum 13,500 sf. <br />Lot 22 contains an existing vineyard and fruit tree orchard as well as some <br />existing large trees that the developer wishes to retain in its entirety with the <br />existing house on Lot 23. The proposed boundaries of Lot 22 encompass <br />those elements. <br />Lots 5, and 14 - 19 are larger than the maximum allowable size as a result of <br />topographic constraints and natural resource protection (the smaller the lots, <br />the more trees that need to be removed for development of those lots). <br />Schirmer Satre Group • 375 West 4 m Avenue, Suite 201, Eugene, OR 97401 • (541) 686-4540 <br />
