these densely populated university area. R-1 neighborhoods to remain livable for all <br />residents, not just the transitory student population. Livability is an important Statewide <br />Planning Goal 14 concept, along with accommodating the need for compact development. <br />Based on the above findings, this standard would apply to the proposed request. <br />4. Owner-occupancy <br />Per LUBA's order (LUBA No. 2019-028), a proposal to build a second rental dwelling on the <br />same lot as an existing rental dwelling meets the definition of an "accessory dwelling unit" <br />provided in ORS 197.312(5) because location on the same lot is sufficient to show the <br />second dwelling will be "used in connection with" the first. LUBA made it clear that "neither <br />residence must be occupied by the owner in order for the residential use of the two <br />structures to be in connection with each other." As a result, the owner/occupancy <br />requirements in the City's current code would not apply to the proposed request. <br />5. Building Size <br />9.2757 Special Development Standards for Table 9.2754. <br />(17) Secondary Dwellings in R-7. <br />(c) Area-Specific Secondary Dwelling Standards. The following standards <br />apply to all new attached or detached secondary dwellings in the R-? <br />zone within the city-recognized boundaries of Amazon Neighbors, <br />Fairmount Neighbors and South University Neighborhood Association: <br />5. Building Size. For lots at least 7,500 square feet and less than <br />9, 000 square feet in area, the secondary dwelling shall not exceed <br />600 square feet of total building square footage. For lots at least <br />9, 000 square feet in area, the secondary dwelling shall not exceed <br />800 square feet of total building square footage. Total building <br />square footage is defined as all square footage inside of the <br />dwelling, including, but not limited to hallways, entries, closets, <br />utility roams, stairways and bathrooms. <br />Building size is related to design as it affects the layout and plan (the "scheme" for the <br />construction") of the building. Limiting building square footage to 600 square or 800 <br />square feet (depending on the lot size) for secondary dwellings in the university area <br />neighborhoods is reasonable because secondary dwellings, by definition (ORS <br />197.31 25)(a)) must be "used in connection with" or "secondary to" the main dwelling. <br />The size differential contributes to the secondary nature of the relationship between the <br />two dwellings. This building size limitation in the university area neighborhoods is similar <br />to the standard that applies to the remainder of the City. In all areas of the city, 800 square <br />feet in the maximum building size for secondary dwellings. <br />Based on the above findings, this standard would apply to the proposed request. <br />6. Outdoor Storage/Trash <br />9.2757 Special Development Standards for Table 9.2754- <br />(17) Secondary Dwellings in R-7. <br />(b) General Standards for Detached Secondary Dwellings. In addition to <br />
