1997 Orchard Street Middle Housing Land Division 13 Middle Housing Land Division, Tentative Plan: Written Statement July 2, 2026 Schirmer Consulting, LLC · PO Box 10424, Eugene, OR 97440 · (541) 234-5108 Landscape Architecture + Land Use Planning (b) Easements for pedestrian access from each dwelling unit to a street; Not applicable. All Middle Housing Lots (Parcels 1,2 and 3) front either Orchard Street or Fairmount Blvd. and have access to the right-of-way. (c) Easements necessary for any common areas or shared building elements; Not applicable. (d) Easements necessary for any shared driveways or parking. Not applicable. (5) Separate utilities are provided for each dwelling unit. See Tentative Middle Housing Land Division plan. (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 will have one dwelling 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.” Any unit proposed for Middle Housing Lots (Parcels 2 and 3) will be reviewed for compliance with current building code at time of building permit submittal. (8) The following notes are included on the tentative plan: (a) The middle housing lots shown on the tentative plan were created pursuant to a middle housing land division and may not be further divided. See Tentative Middle Housing Land Division plan for note. (b) The middle housing developed on the middle housing lots shown on the tentative plan shall remain middle housing and shall not be considered to be any other housing type as a result of the middle
