<br />Table 5: Proposal Impact on Potential Dwelling Unit Totals <br /> <br />Development - Average <br />Designation Density. <br />SFR - LOR 4.4 <br />MFR - MDR 23.2 <br />" Metropolitan area du/ac on developed tax lots <br /> <br />Area Change <br />-7.3 <br />1.3 <br /> <br />Total Units <br />-32.1 <br />30.1 <br /> <br />The Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area Residential Land<; Study (RLS) was completed in <br />1999 as a technical document informing policy changes to the Metro Plan as part of the area's <br />periodic review requirements. The RLS was acknowledged by the state Land Conservation and <br />Development Commission as being consistent with Goal 10. The purpose of the RLS was to <br />compare residential land needs with available land supply. The analysis does not require buildout <br />of particular densities or numbers of units on specific sites or within the metro area as a whole. <br />Information regarding the supply of residential land is supplemented by the adopted Goal 5 <br />inventory. It includes an analysis of the new Goal 5 protections' impact on residential lands. It <br />also includes an inventory update based on amended plan designations since the adoption of the <br />1999 RLS. <br /> <br />The RLS contains a detailed inventory of dwelling units by district as replicated in Table 6, <br />below. The table shows that the Santa Clara subarea contains a significantly larger proportion of <br />single-family dwelling units, when compared to multi-family dwelling units, than the City of <br />Eugene or the Metro region. The report identifies the Santa Clara subarea as having the highest <br />percentage of single-family units at 88% of the housing mix and the lowest percentage of multi- <br />family units at only I %. The single-family dwelling type is predominately built within Low <br />Density Residential designated areas. The table shows that there is an undersupply of multi- <br />family dwelling types within the Santa Clara sub-area. a dwelling type found in Medium Density <br />Residential designations. In addition, Tables 3 and 4 (above) show that the supply of Medium <br />Density designated land is not proportionate to the amount of land that is zoned Medililll Density <br />Residential. This amendment proposes to designate Medium Density Residential land that is <br />capable ofacconunodating this needed dwelling type. <br /> <br />Table 6: Residential Land Study: <br />Percentage of Dwelling Units by District and Type as of July 1992 <br />Santa Clara Subarea, City of Eugene and Metro Region <br /> <br />Multi- Single <br />Region Mfr'd Home family Duplex Family Total <br />Santa Clara 3% 1% 8% 88% 100% <br />Eugene UGa 6% 26% 9% 59% 100% <br />Metro 7% 25% 9% 59% 100% <br /> <br />Source: Residential Lands and Housing Study Draft Site l1wentory Document, 1999 pages 26-27. <br /> <br />In addition, the RLS contains a detailed buildable residential land supply and demand analysis, <br />which is summarized below in Table 7 as it pertains to the Metro region. The subject site was not <br />individually considered in the detailed supply and demand analysis; however, the site is included <br />within the supply analysis. The RLS assumed a land demand for the Eugene UGB, Springfield <br />UGB and the Metro region.
