protected), the City did not assume any capacity for lots below a <br />minimum lot size53 or on lots that were fully protected. <br />4.1.2 Residential development capacity of vacant <br />land <br />The BLI identified any lots with a "vacant" land use code in the regional <br />land use code system, or that has improvements of less than $1,000 of <br />assessed improvement value, as "vacant" land. This section provides a <br />baseline capacity estimate of vacant land. <br />Capacity Method 1: Relatively Flat LDR and All MDR & HDR <br />Capacity Method 1 requires an estimate of the amount of vacant land in <br />acres. These estimates from the BLI are reflected in Table 35 and Table 36, <br />below.54 <br />Table 35 shows vacant residential acres, which excludes constrained areas, <br />within the current UGB from the BLI.55 <br />Table 35.

The <br />average density assumptions are presented in Table 36. These density <br />assumptions are based on densities achieved for residential developments <br />inside the City's current UGB over the 2001 to 2012 period from Table 8. <br />53The minimum lot size in R-1 Low Density Residential of 4,500 square feet was used as a proxy for <br />the threshold of a buildable lot size. <br />54 See the Residential Land Supply Study, Part 12012 Residential Land Supply. <br />55 As explained in Section 4.1.1, land that is committed, protected, fully developed, or above 30% <br />slope was considered "constrained" and, therefore, not included in the acreage used under <br />Capacity Method #1: Standard Method. The remaining land is referred to as "buildable land." <br />Part 11 — Eugene Housing Needs Analysis ECONorthwest Page 125 <br />
