PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR MULTIPLE-UNIT PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION City Manager Mike Gleason introduced the topic. Richie Weinman, Planning and Development Department staff, reported that Eugene is suffering from a severe rental housing shortage. This application is the first received since the council's March 1989 adoption of th~ Multi-Unit Tax Exemption Program which is intended to provide an incentive to construct more rental housing in the core area of the city. Mr. Oscar Krumdieck proposed to construct a three-story, 28-unit medium- to moderate-income apartment structure at 15th and Olive. The project includes several public benefits: increased accessibility for the handicapped and elderly, increased solar access beyond that required by code, and greater outdoor living areas than required. In addition, the project will generate $3,220 annually, in years three through ten, to be allocated to low-income housing projects in other areas. The request has been reviewed by the Planning Commission which unanimously recommended its approval. An old house on the site, while not historically registered, does have architectural character and significance. Some e MINUTES--Eugene City Council July 24, 1989 Page 5
