Capacity Method 1: Relatively Flat LDR and All MDR & HDR <br />Capacity Method 1 was used to determine the capacity of most of <br />Eugene's current residential land supply. It was used to estimate capacity <br />of LDR land that is relatively flat and all MDR and HDR. Table 32 shows <br />the categories of land included in Capacity Method 1 in green highlight: <br />• LDR land that is vacant or partially vacant in all lot sizes46 with a <br />slope of 5% or less and below 900 feet in elevation. In parcels of less <br />than one acre, the analysis applies only to vacant land. <br />MDR land that is vacant or partially vacant in all lot sizes47 at all <br />slopes and elevations. <br />HDR land that is vacant or partially vacant in all lot sizes48 at all <br />slopes and elevations. <br />Table 32.

The remaining land is referred to as "buildable land." <br />Page 120 ECONorthwest Part 11 — Eugene Housing Needs Analysis <br />
