Royal at Danebo The Danebo node totals 149 acres and includes 234 lots. The node is bisected by a minor arterial street (Royal Avenue), an established route for local transit service. More than half of the land (81 acres) is currently undeveloped, a substantial portion of which is designated for residential development (approximately 45 acres of low-density and 22 acres of medium-density). The owner of the 45 acre low-density parcel expressed concerns about the ability to meet the 8 unit/acre requirement in the /ND overlay zone. The owner proceeded to submit a subdivision application prior to the adoption of the overlay zone, thereby vesting their project under the original code requirements. That subdivision will result in approximately 6.8 units per acre. Although this density is not that far below the overlay zone requirement, the developer indicated that this difference would have a significant impact on the type of housing which could be built. To the south of Royal a 10 acre site within the node is developed with a shopping center constructed the year before the redesignation and rezoning process was initiated. There was minimal comment from the commercial property owners regarding the Nodal Overlay zone FAR provisions and restrictions on drive- thru-uses, given the unlikely need for near-term redevelopment or new construction. The primary area remaining in this node is the 22 acres of medium density land owned by the City of Eugene. At this stage, the City is establishing 3 acres as a land bank site for affordable housing. We expect that this site will yield at least 20 units per acre. A separate 16 acre site will be auctioned off by the City soon; this site will be developed at densities of at least 15 du/net acre, in accordance with the minimum density provisions of the/ND Overlay zone. The remaining area contains existing single-family homes built in the 1960ts and 1970's with limited area available for infill. 18
