City of Eugene <br />SB 1537 Adjustment Review Application <br />February 4, 2026 <br />Page 8 of 8 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />(C) The adjustments will increase the number of housing units within the <br />application; <br /> <br />Findings: The relief provided from the articulation standards reduces design and construction costs by <br />simplifying building design and permitting the use of more standardized detailing and construction <br />materials. These cost savings can be passed on to reduce the sale or rental price per unit. Next, the <br />adjusted bicycle parking requirement allows for 0.5 spaces per dwelling unit in this area, which is well <br />served by City services, and permits those spaces to be accommodated with a stackable bicycle parking <br />rack system. The reduced number of spaces provided, together with the stackable rack design and <br />location in the interior courtyard, minimizes the building area required for bicycle parking, thereby <br />increasing the area that can be dedicated to housing units within the building. <br /> <br />Based on the findings provided here, the approval criteria are met. <br /> <br />V. Conclusion <br /> <br />Based on the information and findings contained in this written statement, associated attachments, and <br />drawings, the proposed SB 1537 Adjustment Review application meets the applicable approval <br />conditions and criteria in Section 38 of SB 1537. The applicant requests that the Planning Director <br />approve the proposal as presented. Both the applicant and the applicant's representative are available <br />for questions, as necessary. <br /> <br />Z:\PROJ\202511 The Mark at Eugene\Corresp\Agency\Adj Rev-Ph 2\202511-SB1537 ARA_WritState.docx
