<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />May 5, 2025 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />City of Eugene Planning Department <br />99 W 10th Ave #290, Eugene, OR 97401 <br />Re: Park Run SB 1537 Adjustment Review Application Narrative (Permit Number 22-06643-01) <br /> <br />Project Overview <br />Park Run is a new multifamily affordable housing project in the Harlow neighborhood. The 4-story <br />building consists of 158 new dwelling units, community areas, resident services offices, and a bicycle <br />storage room. Dwelling units include studio, 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom types. There was a previously <br />approved bicycle parking adjustment for this project, approval issued January 17, 2023. This project <br />has now changed from market rate housing to affordable housing. This adjustment allows the project to <br />work financially within Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) rental rate standards. <br /> <br />Address: 132 South Garden Way, Eugene, OR <br />Lot Area: 3.394 Acres (147,817 SF) <br />Zoning: S-CN/HDR/MU Chase Node Special Area Zone with a High Density Residential Mixed Use <br />Subarea <br /> <br />Conditions required to be eligible for an adjustment <br />• The application is for a limited land use decision. The project permit number is 22-06643-01. <br />• The development site is zoned S-CN/HDR/MU. Multiple-Unit Dwellings are a permitted use in S- <br />CN/HDR/MU per EC 9.3115 (subject to Multiple-Unit Standards EC 9.5500). <br />• The project contains 158 units on 3.394 acres, 46 units per acre, exceeding minimum of 10 <br />units per acre. <br />• The development site is within the Eugene Urban Growth Boundary. <br />• The development is of net 158 new housing units. <br />• The application does not request more than 10 distinct adjustments. <br />• The adjustment reduces the rental price per unit. The adjustment enables the project to remain <br />within OHCS cost-per-unit limits. By maintaining the project budget within these constraints, the <br />project can advance through the funding process which will allow rents at 60% of Area Median <br />Income (AMI) or less, reducing the rental price per unit. <br /> <br />Conclusion <br />The proposed multifamily housing project meets all applicable criteria under SB1537. Thank you for <br />reviewing this application.
