One of the dwellings must be the principal residence of a property owner who is the majority owner of the property. Requirements for occupancy shall be determined according to the applicable provisions of the Eugene Code. 2. The deed restriction runs with the land and binds the property owner(s), heirs, successors and assigns. 3. The deed restriction may be terminated, upon approval by the City, when one of the dwellings is removed, or at such time as the city code no longer requires principal occupancy of one of the dwellings by the owner. In addition, the applicable maximum occupancy limitation in subsection (h) above must be included in the deed restriction. (n) Verification. At least once every two years, the property owner shall provide to the city documentation of compliance with the ownership and occupancy requirements of subsection (k) above.

Acceptable documentation for this purpose includes voter’s registration, driver’s license, homeowner’s insurance, income tax filing, and/or utility bill. (o) Parking.
