Information regarding the supply of residential land is supplemented by the adopted Goal 5 inventory. It includes an analysis of the new Goal 5 protections' impact on residential lands. It also includes an inventory update based on amended plan designations since the adoption of the 1999 RLS. The RLS contains a detailed inventory of dwelling units by district as replicated in Table 3, below. The table shows that the Santa Clara subarea contains a significantly larger proportion of single-family dwelling units, when compared to multi-family dwelling units, than the City of Eugene or the Metro region. The report identifies the Santa Clara subarea as having the highest percentage of single-family units at 88% of the housing mix and the lowest percentage of multi- family units at only 1%. The single-family dwelling type is predominately built within Low Density Residential designated areas. The table shows that there is an undersupply of multi- family dwelling types 'within the Santa Clara sub-area, a dwelling type found in Medium Density Residential designations. In addition, Tables 6 and 7 show that the supply of Medium Density designated land is not proportionate to the anlOunt of land that is zoned Medium Density Residential. This amendment proposes to designate Medium Density Residential land that is capable of accommodating this needed dwelling type.

In addition, the RLS contains a detailed buildable residential land supply and demand analysis, which is summarized below in Table 4 as it pertains to the Metro region. The subject site was not individually considered in the detailed supply and demand analysis; however, the site is included within the supply analysis. The RLS assumed a land demand for the Eugene UGB, Springfield UGB and the Metro region. Table 3 shows the relationship between land supply and demand and the impact that this proposed PAPA has upon the supply of residential land within the 1992-2015 planning period. The proposed amendment will increase the supply of needed commercial and medium density residential land by 7.0% and 1.1 % respectively while decreasing the supply of low density residential land by 1.7%.
