UO Next Generation Housing Development Plan February 10, 2026 <br />Land Use Applications <br />Refinement Plan Amendments <br /> <br /> <br /> Page 37 <br />The purpose of the area indicated on the plan map as an Institutional Area is to provide for <br />development of institutional uses needed by the University, including (but not limited to} <br />classroom, laboratory and office buildings, recreation facilities, high-density housing, and <br />automobile parking. <br />Character: <br />Within the area as a whole, there are three sub-areas for which different development standards <br />and procedures shall apply: <br />General Institutional <br />1. Agate Street to Columbia Street, 15th Avenue to 17th Avenue. Institutional buildings <br />shall be concentrated in this area. Until development of this land has reached capacity <br />and the prefabricated (Vanport) structures have been replaced with efficient land use <br />structures, the University shall not locate such institutional buildings in other parts of the <br />special study area. Review processes for development of this area shall be essentially <br />internal to the institution. <br />Institutional/Medium-Density Residential <br />2. Facing 17th Avenue, from Agate Street to Moss Street. To protect the livability of <br />housing units on the south side of 17th Avenue, standards related to height, setback, <br />screening, landscaping, solar access, and parking as provided by this plan, shall be <br />observed. If this property is developed for residential use, the density is to be no greater <br />than 20 units per net acre. Non-residential uses located in this area shall be compatible <br />with the use for adjacent property for residential purposes. The existing fire station, the <br />DeBusk/RDTC houses, and the AAA studios are examples of such compatible non- <br />residential uses. Institutional review of proposals for development of this area shall <br />include notice to the neighborhood and timely provision for neighborhood review and <br />comment. <br />Residence Hall Related <br />3. Columbia Street to Moss Street, 15th Avenue to 17th Avenue. In this area, uses related <br />to residence halls are to continue, including recreation and grade level parking. <br />Initial activities of the University in this area will be directed toward improving the <br />efficiency of the parking lot and in improving the appearance of the area in general. <br />Institutional review of proposals for development of this area shall include notice to the <br />neighborhood and timely provision for neighborhood review and comment. <br /> <br />Medium-Density Residential Area
