• A one acre MDR site developed with apartments and associated parking and landscaped open space, which still has a remaining buildable area. City staff and the TRG explored several possible methodologies for identifying the capacity of partially vacant land. For the same reasons explained above, staff and the TRG used the same three methods described in section 4.1.1, Capacity Method 1, Capacity Method 2, and Capacity Method 3. As discussed in section 4.1.1, with one exception, the City applied the three capacity methods to the same land categories in section 4.1.1 regardless of whether the land is vacant or partially vacant. The only difference in the way the City applied the three capacity methods to partially vacant land is that, for partially vacant LDR land, Capacity Method 3 was used (instead of Capacity Method 2) for lots above 900' in elevation, above 5% slope and of 1-5 acres. The reason for this difference is explained under the Capacity Method 3 analysis, below. Capacity Method 1 and Capacity Method 2 require an estimate of the number of partially vacant land acres from the BLI. The BLI estimates of partially vacant land include entire sites, including the portions of the sites that are already developed. To determine the capacity of partially vacant land, the BLI acreage totals were adjusted, with a deduction for existing development on each site. A review of development on the partially vacant LDR lots identified a reasonable deduction for existing houses or structures on the lot as .33 ac on lots less than five percent slope, and .5 ac on lots with slopes of five percent or greater. Review of existing development on the MDR and HDR partially vacant lots identified a reasonable deduction for existing structures, parking, and open space on the lot as either .25 acre, .5 acre, or the approximate amount of the actual existing development if the existing development is over 1 acre. These adjusted acreage totals are reflected in the tables, below. Part 11 — Eugene Housing Needs Analysis ECONorthwest Page 135
