The subject property is approximately .24 acres (10,597 sq. ft.) in size and is zoned R-1 Low - <br />Density Residential. It is located in the Friendly Area neighborhood, within the Storey <br />Subdivision of College -Crest Addition to Eugene, originally platted in April of 1910. The property <br />is located in an area that is predominantly developed with single -unit dwellings, characterized <br />by low -density residential development. Services are provided in the broader vicinity, such as <br />the Adams Elementary school two blocks north, the Arts & Technology Academy Middle School <br />three blocks west of that, commercial development on Willamette .85 miles to the east, and <br />Amazon Park approximately a mile east. <br />The subject property abuts Jackson Street to the west and Adams Alley to the east. Proposed <br />Middle Housing Lot 1 (Parcel 1) is 5,013 square feet and contains the existing single -unit <br />dwelling, which has frontage on Jackson Street. Proposed Middle Housing Lot 2 (Parcel 2) is <br />2,877 square feet, vacant, and abuts Adams Alley to the east. Proposed Middle Housing Lot 3 <br />(Parcel 3) is 2,707 square feet, vacant, and abuts Adams Alley to the east. Parcel 2 and Parcel 3 <br />will also have pedestrian access to Jackson Street via a 5-foot wide access and public utility <br />easement. <br />Additional details of the proposal are included in the applicant's written statement and <br />supporting documentation, all of which are included as part of the public record and located in <br />the application file for reference. <br />What is a Middle Housing Land Division: A Middle Housing Land Division is a process to create <br />Middle Housing Lots, each of which contains a single unit of middle housing within a middle <br />housing development (e.g. one dwelling unit in a triplex). This allows for the sale of individual <br />units in a Middle Housing development, which will serve to expand home ownership <br />opportunities. A Middle Housing Land Division can occur before, during, or after the <br />construction of the middle housing itself. Any Middle Housing developed in Eugene must be <br />constructed in accordance with the applicable development standards. <br />A Note on Terminology: Eugene Code Section 9.0500, Definitions, defines a "Middle Housing <br />Lot" as "A lot or parcel created through a middle housing land division." Middle Housing Land <br />Division is the only codified process through which Middle Housing Lots can be created. <br />However, for platting purposes, two different terms, "lot" and "parcel," are used, depending on <br />the number of lots proposed. The term "lot" is used when units of land are created through the <br />Subdivision process, which is used to create four or more units of land. The term "parcel" is <br />used when units of land are created through the Partition process, which is used to create three <br />or fewer units of land. <br />In this case, the proposal will result in three Middle Housing Lots, which for platting purposes <br />will be referred to as "parcels" on the final plat. For consistency throughout this decision, the <br />term "Middle Housing Lot" is synonymous with "middle housing parcel," and the terms are <br />used interchangeably in the context of this Decision. <br />December 2025 Findings & Decision: Action Jackson (MHT 25-35) Page 2 of 14 <br />
