(6) The middle housing land division results in one dwelling unit on each middle housing lot, except lots, parcels or tracts that include a common area. Lots, parcels or tracts that include a common area, but do not include a dwelling unit, are permitted. Each Middle Housing Lot has or will have one unit. (7) The application demonstrates that buildings or structures on the middle housing lots created by the middle housing land division will comply with applicable building code provisions related to new property lines; and, notwithstanding the creation of new lots or parcels, that structures or buildings located on the middle housing lots will comply with the Oregon Residential Specialty Code. The existing building meets required setback standards to the proposed property line. A referral from city of Eugene Building and Permit Services staff dated November 18, 2024, (for MHT 24-15 and referenced here) states that the proposed Middle Housing Land Division complies with the applicable provisions of the Oregon Residential Specialty Code. The ORSC grants municipalities the authority to implement jurisdictional Administrative Rules to be applied on a local level, in place of the congruent section of the ORSC. In this case, the applicable requirement is the City of Eugene's Administrative Rule R-8.005-(A)(3)(a) Existing Installation, which reads as follows: Buildings, structures, electrical and mechanical systems and equipment, and plumbing systems and fixtures constructed and maintained in conformity with the regulations in effect at the time of construction may have their existing use or occupancy continued, if such use or occupancy is in accordance with the original design and location and was legal at the time of the adoption of these regulations and provided such use is not hazardous to life, health or property and is not in conflict with statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances of any federal or state agency or municipality. According to referral comments, City of Eugene Building and permit Services does “not require any type of City of Eugene inspection or private home inspection documents be provided to prove maintenance with codes in effect at the time occupancy was granted.” As such, the existing unit located on the subject property is considered part of an existing use which is “in accordance with the original design and location and was legal at the time of the adoption of these regulations.”
