e e e B. *(Mr. Lieuallen apologized for being asleep at the switch. He asked about the rezoning at 5th and 6th (Slocum Request). He said Whiteaker Council through their land use committee has raised some questions. Their concern as stated in a letter the entire Council received, is that whatever development occurs there it be consistent with the special district and with the Whiteaker Refinement Plan. The C-2 zoning allows quite a wide variety and they do not want incompatible uses to occur. When a specific use is proposed for the property, Mr. Lieuallen asked, will there .be reviews by the Historic Review Board, will the staff apply the special district notions, and will the refinement plan be the special matrix that is set down? Mr. Byrne said the change to C-2 would not require a review by the Historic Review Board or review by property owners within the special district, or with regard to the Whiteaker Refinement Plan as that plan calls for a mixed-use area with an emphasis on the special district. Special district zoning was considered by staff and by the Planning Commission for the area and it was decided that it was not appropriate for a variety of reasons. Mr. Lieuallen asked if the full range of uses was available to the developer and Mr. Byrne replied yes. It would be impractical to apply the special district standards to th i s property.) Code Amendments 1. Amendment to Section 9.308-9.310 (RA Suburban Residential District) and Section 9.322-9.324 (R-l Single-Family Residential District) of the Eugene Code, 1971, to permit duplexes, triplexes, and four-plexes as outright uses in those zoning districts, subject to certain conditions and related amendments (CA 79-1) (Ordinance distributed) Manager noted this item concerning duplex, triplex, and four-plex uses had been before the Council previously. Originally, it applied to old as well as new subdivisions. The current proposal is for new subdivisions of ten or more lots approved after passage of this amendment. The amendment has been considered in depth by the Planning Commission at various times and is a part of the City's growth management program to achieve more compact urban growth. The most recent action by the Planning Commission was taken December 4, 1979, with a unanimous vote of approval (6:0). Manager introduced Bill Sloat and Jim Farah of the Planning Department. Mr. Sloat said the duplex, triplex, four-plex amendment, also known as the RA/R-l amendment, would this time apply to only new subdivi- sions with lots of 10,000 square feet or more. It would allow duplexes on 10,000-square-foot lots, triplexes on 15,000-square- foot lots, and four-plexes on 20,000-square-foot lots. The . amendment requires two parking spaces per unit with parking spaces separated by landscaping. It requires height limitations in the first 20 feet next to adjacent development, a height limitation of 1/28/80--3
