If you can't make it, please complete this online survey: <hyperlink> by Sunday so we can bring your thoughts to the discussion. Thanks! The Survey: Secondary Dwelling Units (SDUs) and You Secondary Dwelling Units (also called Granny Flats and Accessory Dwelling Units) have become a hot issue for both the City of Eugene and Lane County. The changes they adopt can help meet the need for about 4,000 additional people in River Road/Santa Clara over the next 20 years (extrapolated from our area and Envision Eugene growth estimates). They could also affect how you and your neighbors use your property. Last year the Oregon Legislature passed SB1051 which requires both Lane County and Eugene to adopt changes to how they permit the construction of SDUs. Some changes are already being considered by the Eugene City Council. The Lane County Commission will be considering changes on June 27th. This questionnaire seeks the opinion of River Road residents on some of the changes they're considering. The responses will be anonymously summarized and shared with the Council and Commission. Please answer this once if you live, own property or own/work at a business in the River Road neighborhood. Q1. How do you feel about continuing the requirement for properties with SDUs that either the primary or secondary unit be owner occupied?

Those who support this rule argue that this curbs problems with absentee landlords, Those who oppose this rule point out that approximately % of Eugene's residences are rentals so this rule significantly reduces the opportunity to build SDUs in Eugene.)
