City of Eugene <br />Concurrent Conditional Use Permit & Adjustment Review Applications <br />January 27, 2026 <br />Page 22 of 43 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />(3) No building, structure, tree or other obstruction shall be placed or located on <br />or in a public utility easement. <br /> <br />Findings: The Applicant is aware of an existing, unimproved public utility easement (PUE), which is a <br />remnant of a former east-west alley that was vacated in 1960. The existing, unimproved PUE is <br />approximately 700 square feet of Tax Lot 3000. A Type I Vacation of Unimproved Public Easement <br />application is to be filed under a separate cover. This criterion can be met through the vacation of the <br />existing, unimproved PUE. <br /> <br />EC 9.6505 Improvements - Specifications. <br />All public improvements shall be designed and constructed in accordance with <br />adopted plans and policies… <br />(1) Water Supply. All developments shall be served by the water system of the <br />Eugene Water & Electric Board. <br /> <br />Findings: The site is located within the Eugene City limits and it is served by the Eugene Water & Electric <br />Board (EWEB). The site has water service at the site within the abutting public street rights-of-way. There <br />are existing fire hydrants located adjacent to the site near the intersection of Grant Street and West 7th <br />Avenue. This criterion is met. <br /> <br />(2) Sewage. All developments shall be served by the wastewater sewage system <br />of the city. <br /> <br />Findings: As noted above, the site is served by the City’s wastewater sewage system, which provides <br />capacity to serve the proposed new building. Therefore, this criterion is met. <br /> <br />(3) Streets and Alleys…. <br /> <br />Findings: No new streets or alleys are proposed. The existing public streets are developed and improved <br />to urban standards. The original mid-block alley (West 6th Alley) was previously vacated. <br /> <br />Per EC 9.6870 Street Right-of-Way Map, both West 6th and West 7th Avenues have a required minimum <br />width of 80 feet. West 7th Avenue exceeds the minimum width. No additional right-of-way is required. A <br />northward appendage of Tax Lot 3000 results in a right-of-way width that is less than the 80-foot <br />minimum. A special setback and potential dedication are required. <br /> <br />The Applicant understands that the “special setback width is separate from, and in addition to, any <br />interior or front yard setback required by the zone.” The existing right-of-way is 66’-6”. An additional 13’- <br />6” meets the 80-foot minimum width. The proposed project is responsible for providing half of the <br />outstanding right-of-way width, 6’-9”. The special setback and minimum 5-foot front yard setback are <br />shown on the attached Site Plan. This criterion and the associated special setback are met.
