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. In this case, a single family dwelling exists that will be <br />reidentified as one of the three triplex units. 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: 310 Sunshine Acres (MHT 25-33) Page 2 of 13
