ATTACHMENT D <br />Planning Commission: - November 15, 2004 (draft minutes) <br /> <br />IV. DISCUSSION: HOUSING DISPERSAL POLICY <br /> <br />Mr. Weinman provided a brief history of the Housing Dispersal Policy (HDP). He reported that the HDP was <br />adopted by the City of Eugene in 1968 as a part of the first community goals conference. He added that it had <br />been updated on three occasions, most recently in 1996 to make policy changed d to incorporate the 1990 census <br />data. He said the issue came up recently in conjunction with the 2000 census, noting the policy must be updated <br />if it was to be retained. <br /> <br />Mr. Weinman said the HDP was the only policy of its kind in Oregon and quite possibly the United States. <br />Referring to a map showing affordable housing sites, he said the policy had served the city well over the years in <br />that housing dispersal had been significantly accomplished. <br /> <br />Mr. Weinman said the HDP consisted of two policies: <br /> <br /> · Policy 1 discouraged city assistance for new rental family housing in census tract block groups that were <br /> either predominantly low-income (over 50 percent of all families) or have significant concentrations of <br /> subsidized housing (over 20 percent of total housing units). <br /> <br /> · Policy 2 discouraged city assistance for new rental family housing developments that were larger than 60 <br /> units. The City Council could balance the two policies against other city concerns, and allow city <br /> assistance to new development that would otherwise violate the HDP. <br /> <br />Mr. Weinman reported that the Housing Policy Board (HBP), an intergovernmental group that advised local <br />governments on low-income housing, had recommended that the policy be repealed. Mr. Weinman said he was <br />bringing the HPB recommendation to the Planning Commission because the Planning Commission had provided <br />input on the 1996 HDP update. <br /> <br />Mr. Weinman said there were a number of reasons, several of which he cited, for repealing the policy, as noted in <br />the Agenda Item Summary. <br /> <br /> · When the HDP was created there were very few assisted housing units and there was no significant <br /> dispersal throughout Eugene. Subsidized housing was now located throughout the community, and the <br /> <br /> L:\CMO\2005 Council Agendas\M050110\S0501103C.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
