Eugene Ordinance Exhibit B [Lane County Ordinance Exhibit B] (c) Provisions permitting additional density beyond that generally allowed in the zoning district in exchange for amenities and features provided by the developer; (d) Removal or easing of approval standards or procedures; (e) Minimum density ranges; (f) Redevelopment and infill strategies; (g) Authorization of housing types not previously allowed by the plan or regulations; (h) Adoption of an average residential density standard; and (i) Rezoning or redesignation of nonresidential land. The measures taken by the City under (6) include (b), (d), (e), (f) and (g). All of the City's efficiency measures are described in more detail in Part IV of the "Envision Eugene / Residential Land Supply Study." The land zoned for needed housing in Eugene is in locations appropriate for the needed housing types permitted there and is zoned at density ranges that are likely to be achieved by the housing market. As required by other laws / rules, the City's analysis is based on comprehensive plan designations. Residentially -designated land is either already zoned consistently with the comprehensive plan designation or is otherwise eligible to rezone to the comprehensive plan designation. The analysis to arrive at assumptions about the capacity of the residential land took into account constraints that could limit residential development on residential land. The allocation of housing types to each plan designation and the density assumptions used are derived from the housing type allocations and densities actually seen in these plan designations during the development review period. Exceptions are noted in Part IV of the Residential Land Supply Study (entitled "Measures to Increase Residential Development"), such as exceptions for housing on Commercial land a proforma type analysis was used demonstrating that housing would occur on Commercial land with financial incentives. 197.307 (3) When a need has been shown for housing within an urban growth boundary at particular price ranges and rent levels, needed housing shall be permitted in one or more zoning districts or in zones described by some comprehensive plans as overlay zones with sufficient buildable land to satisfy that need. Every type of housing needed in Eugene through 2032 is permitted, with sufficient buildable land zoned to completely satisfy the needs through 2032. As explained in findings above, the City's Final Residential Land Supply (Part V of the Envision Eugene / Residential Land Supply Study) describes the areas within the UGB that have some buildable capacity for needed housing. The assumed development capacity of that land is specified -- it varies based on a particular site's size, elevation, slope and land use designation — in the final BLI for 2012-2032 at Part V of the Envision Eugene / Residential Land Supply Study. When taken together, the inventory and the capacity assumptions demonstrate that the City's housing needs will be met through 2032. (4) Except as provided in subsection (6) of this section, a local government may adopt and apply only clear and objective standards, conditions and procedures regulating the development of needed housing on buildable land described in subsection (3) of this section. The standards, conditions and procedures may not have the effect, either in themselves or cumulatively, of discouraging needed housing through unreasonable cost or delay. (This requirement is also set out at 660-008-0015(1).) 14 Final
