The subject site is not located in an area subject to the requirements of the /WR or /WQ overlay zones. Additionally, the /CAS Commercial Airport Safety Overlay does not establish additional standards that would require review for approval of a residential subdivision. Two points of testimony concern lot size, density, and setbacks. One point written by Barbara Hurwich states the following concern, "We would also like to see a set back so the new subdivision is not built right up against the street, to preserve the current green atmosphere of the neighborhood." The other point of testimony is by Carole Grappo stating: "Also, the design does not harmonize with the general quality of country like living. This area is mostly single-family homes with some duplexes, with nice yards with greenery that helps us to breathe. 1 do not see how this proposal will favor green space at all. Please reconsider what this kind of cramming single family dwellings on small lots will do to the neighborhood." The proposed lots meet the minimum lot size area for the R-1 zone. At the time of building permit review, development will be reviewed for compliance with the R-1 zone setbacks (as addressed in EC 9.2750). As previously stated, the proposed density of the subdivision is below the density maximums for the R-1 zone. Based on the available information and findings above, EC 9.8520(3)(a) is met. (b) EC 9.6800 through EC 9.6875 Standards for Streets, Alleys, and Other Public Ways. The standards listed by EC 9.6800 through EC 9.6875 detail the dedication, design, and location of public ways. Referral comments from Public Works staff provide findings and evaluation for each of the standards listed by the criterion above, noting that some are not applicable to this application. Relevant excerpts and findings are provided below, and the full referral comments are available in the application file for reference. EC 9.6805 Dedication of Public Ways: The City may require dedication of public ways, provided the City makes findings to demonstrate consistency with constitutional requirements. Public ways to be dedicated to the public by the applicant must conform with the adopted Street Right of Way Map and EC Table 9.6870. When a street segment is not designated on the street right-of-way map, EC 9.6870 provides that "the required street width shall be the minimum shown for its type in Table 9.6870 Right-of-Way and Paving Widths unless a greater width is approved by the planning director and public works director based on adopted plans and policies, adopted 'Design Standards and Guidelines for Eugene Streets, Sidewalks, Bikeways and Accessways' or other factors which in the judgment of the planning and public works director allow for a lesser street width."
