Located south of Hendricks Park, at the end of Capital Drive, the entire <br />property is zoned R-1 Low Density Residential, and a portion has the /PD Planned Unit <br />Development Overlay. The applicants, Cynthia and Thomas Dreyer, filed an application for a <br />tentative PUD to create a 34-lot residential subdivision. <br />The Eugene Hearings Official held the initial public hearing on the tentative PUD application on <br />March 7, 2018. Following the hearing and open record period for additional testimony, on April <br />20, 2018, the Hearings Official approved the tentative PUD application with 20 conditions of <br />approval. <br />On May 7, 2018, both the applicant and the Joint Response Committee of the Fairmount <br />Neighbors Association and Laurel Hill Valley Citizens (Joint Response Committee) timely filed <br />appeals of the Hearings Official's decision. On May 9, 2018, the City mailed written notice of the <br />appeals. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the appeals on May 22, 2018. <br />The Planning Commission deliberated on the appeal issues at its meetings on June 4, 7, and 12, <br />2018, and reached its final decision on June 14, 2018. The Planning Commission affirmed the <br />Hearings Official's approval of the tentative PUD, with additional findings and conditions as well <br />as modifications to certain conditions of approval imposed by the Hearings Official. Specifically <br />related to this remand, the Planning Commission modified Condition of Approval #10 to require <br />that additional geotechnical analyses required for building and infrastructure permits address <br />potential off-site impacts. <br />Both the applicant and the Joint Response Committee timely appealed the Planning <br />Commission's decision to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA). LUBA affirmed the <br />majority of the Planning Commission's decision, but ultimately remanded to allow the Planning <br />Commission to adopt more adequate findings based on substantial evidence, regarding <br />Final Order: Capital Hill PUD (PDT 17-1) Remand Page 1 <br />
