Metro Planning, Inc Middle Housing Tentative Partition for Cunningham Trust January 2025 <br />Page | 3 <br /> <br /> <br />(2) Applicability of Middle Housing Development Standards. <br /> <br />(a) Except as provided in subsection (b), Middle Housing Development Standards in this section 9.5550 apply <br /> to: <br /> 1. The development of all new middle housing, excluding duplexes; and <br /> 2. The development of middle housing, excluding duplexes, on a site with an existing dwelling or <br /> dwellings; and <br /> 3. The development of middle housing, excluding duplexes, created by adding building area to an <br /> existing dwelling or dwellings. <br /> <br />(b) Except as provided at EC 9.5550(6)(g), the Middle Housing Development Standards do not apply to <br /> existing dwellings, buildings, and structures that are not being altered as part of the middle housing <br /> development. <br /> <br />Response: Per EC 9.5550(2), Middle Housing Development Standards do not apply to this application as they do not apply to duplexes <br />or to dwellings that are not being altered as part of a middle housing land division. The subject property to be divided for middle <br />housing is already developed with a detached duplex; neither of the dwelling units of the detached duplex require additional <br />development. EC 9.5550(6)(g) is not applicable to this proposal as it contains standards related to cottage cluster housing only. <br /> <br />In sum, the existing detached duplex dwelling units are not being altered as part of this middle housing land division which renders <br />them exempt from the middle housing development standards contained in EC 9.5550. This two-lot middle housing tentative partition <br />proposal complies with EC 9.5550 and 9.8194(2). <br /> <br />EC 9.8194 – Middle Housing Land Division, Tentative Plan Approval Criteria (cont’d). <br />(3) The proposed middle housing land division complies with all of the following: <br /> <br /> (a) EC 9.2777, Middle Housing Lot standards; <br /> <br />Response: There are no frontage, width, or lot area standards for middle housing lots. As required, there is only one unit of middle <br />housing located on each proposed middle housing lot and the parent parcel being divided is not a middle housing lot. <br />These criteria are met. <br /> <br /> (b) EC 9.6505, Improvements, Specifications for any street frontage improvements required for middle housing on <br /> lots that abut a street; <br /> <br />Response: No improvements per EC 9.6505 are required for the proposed middle housing partition. All improvements are existing. <br />This criterion is satisfied. <br /> <br /> (c) EC 9.6805, Dedication of Public Ways; and <br /> <br />Response: There are no public ways required to be dedicated to the City of Eugene. This criterion is satisfied. <br /> <br /> (d) All other applicable development standards for features explicitly included in the application. <br /> <br />Response: All development is complete; no new development is proposed. There are no other applicable development standards than <br />the standards addressed in this written narrative. This criterion is satisfied. <br /> <br /> <br />
