Suggested amendments to Council Bills 5184 and 5185 regarding Secondary Dwellings <br />A. To clarify two terms in CB 5185 Section 1, a motion to add the following entries under <br />Eugene Code 9.0500 Definitions: <br />Accessory Dwelling Unit. A secondary-dwelling. <br />Dwelling, Attached. A dwelling that shares a common wall or ceiling with another dwelling <br />for a contiguous area of at least 64 square feet. <br />Dwelling, Detached. A dwelling that is not an attached or interior dwelling. <br />Dwelling, Interior. A dwelling that is wholly within the interior of the same building as <br />another dwelling is an attached dwelling. An interior dwelling may or may not also meet the <br />definition of an attached dwelling. <br />Dwelling, Single-Family. A one-family dwelling. <br />Dwelling, Secondary. An interior, attached, or detached dwelling that is used in connection <br />with or that is accessory to a one-family dwelling on the same legal lot. For purposes of this <br />definition, a property owner must occupy either the secondary dwelling or must occupy the <br />other dwelling, to with which the secondary dwelling is used in connection or to which the <br />secondary dwelling is an accessory. <br />Comments on the above definitions: <br />• The following terms are defined so that the Dwelling, Secondary definition is clear and <br />objective, as required by SB 1051: <br />o Dwelling, Attached. <br />o Dwelling, Detached. <br />o Dwelling, Interior. <br />• To avoid any confusion, the following terms are defined as synonyms for the specific <br />terms used in SB 1051: <br />o Accessory Dwelling Unit. <br />o Dwelling, Single-Family. <br />Dwelling, Secondary is defined using the specific language of SB 1051 with the addition <br />of a clarification to make the term "used in connection with or that is accessory to" clear <br />and objective consistent with the current Eugene Code requirement for owner <br />occupancy, <br />B. To remove the unnecessary addition of secondary dwellings to the R-2, R-3 and R-4 zones <br />and avoid the potential for unintended consequences on special area zones, including the <br />Chambers Special Area Zone and the Jefferson-Westside Special Area Zone, a motion to <br />amend CB 5184 as follows: <br />
