15th and High Street 6-plex Page 2 of 2 <br />Completeness Review Response: ARA 26-01 <br />March 4, 2026 <br /> <br /> <br />Schirmer Consulting, LLC · PO Box 10424, Eugene, OR 97440 · (541) 234-5108 <br />Landscape Architecture + Land Use Planning <br /> <br />• Note that the City of Eugene uses ITE Trip Generation Manual, 12th Edition, for three attached dwellings (MH <br />Triplex). <br />The proposal is for a 6-plex on one development site. The Adjustment Review is for one access point for 6 <br />units. The ITE 12th generation Trip Manual indicates that the trip rate for 6 units is .51 peak our trips. The <br />manual number has been changed in the written statement and since the trip rate is the same as the 11th <br />generation no other information has changed. <br /> <br />• Address the presence of the High Street Protected Bikeway adjacent to the development, which is intended <br />to provide a comfortable and accessible travel option. Explain how the proposal may affect this facility. <br />See revised written statement. <br /> <br />• Discuss how trips previously to/from E 15th Ave will now add to trips on High Street. Explain how this change <br />will impact safety, ensure it does not negatively affect the efficiency of the public right-of-way, and confirm <br />that it will not create hazards for bicycles, pedestrians, or vehicular traffic. <br />The trips to and from East 15th Avenue will not add to the trips on High Street. The existing trips on East 15th <br />Avenue are generated from an existing office building. This office building will be removed. <br /> <br />The use is completely changing from office to residential. The existing small office building is 2,684 sf and <br />generates 2.16 peak hour trips per 1000 sf or approximately 5.8 trips, all with backward movement on to the <br />right of way. This potentially creates a conflict with both bikes and vehicles wanting to turn left on to East 15th <br />Avenue as the existing access is so close to the intersection. The proposed residential development will <br />generate approximately 3.06 peak hour trips and all the movements will be forward movements with all bikes, <br />pedestrians and vehicles having a clear line of site of each other. <br /> <br />Land Use <br />Additionally, the applicant is encouraged to strengthen the portion of the written narrative that addresses the <br />approval criteria in EC 9.8030(27)(b). Providing additional information to link the proposed design to the specific <br />language used in EC 9.8030(27)(b) would help clarify how the design meets this portion of the applicable <br />approval criteria. <br />The approval criteria is found at EC 9.8030(37)(b) not EC 9.8030(27)(b). See revised written statement. <br /> <br /> <br />Please call if you have any questions, comments or need any additional information. I believe this responds to all <br />incomplete items and issues. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />Schirmer Consulting, LLC <br /> <br /> <br />Carol Schirmer
