Eugene Ordinance Exhibit B [Lane County Ordinance Exhibit B] local government finds that the shorter time period will provide more accurate and reliable data related to housing capacity and need. The shorter time period may not be less than three years. (c) A local government shall use data from a wider geographic area or use a time period for economic cycles and trends longer than the time period described in paragraph (a) of this subsection if the analysis of a wider geographic area or the use of a longer time period will provide more accurate, complete and reliable data relating to trends affecting housing need than an analysis performed pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection. The local government must clearly describe the geographic area, time frame and source of data used in a determination performed under this paragraph. The City's last periodic review ended on April 17, 2007. The first year of the 20 -year planning period is 2012. Therefore, ORS 197.296(5)(a) would require the City to rely on a five-year data set from 2007 through 2012. Instead, the City relied on the exception set out in (5)(c). The City determinations of housing capacity and need are based on data relating to land within the UGB from 2001 through 2012.5 This longer time period was used for a few reasons. The City adopted a new land use code in 2001.6 Analysis of actual development under that new land use code for this longer time period provides more accurate, complete and reliable data relating to trends affecting housing need than a five-year analysis. In addition, the five year period described in this statute would have concentrated on years of nation- wide economic recession. Section 3 in Part II HNA of the City's Residential Land Supply Study summarizes the data used consistent (A) through (E). In addition to the data described in (A) through (E), below, the data collected and used includes: The land supply data layers listed in the Part I of the Residential Land Supply Study; The public and semi-public demands on residential land as described in Part III of the Residential Land Supply Study; and The employment demand/uses on residential land. The data shall include: (A) The number, density and average mix of housing types of urban residential development that have actually occurred; Consistent with the above, this data is included in detail in section 2.1 and 3.6.1 of the City's Housing Needs Analysis (Part II of the Residential Land Supply Study). (B) Trends in density and average mix of housing types of urban residential development; Consistent with the above, this data is included in detail in section 2.2 and 2.4 of the City's Housing Needs Analysis (Part II of the Residential Land Supply Study). (C) Demographic and population trends; 5 The City's determination is based on 2001-2012 data except where noted. There are a few instances where the data relied on is 2001-2008 data. In either case, the data is from a period exceeding 5 years. 6 The new code would alter development patterns due to changes such different requirements for minimum and maximum densities in residential zones and off-street parking ratios. 11 Final
