41 <br /> <br />Strategy 1: Remove land use code barriers <br />Option Key Explanation <br />9. Complete land use code audit of <br />regulatory barriers to housing. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />An audit will identify barriers that are regulatory (i.e., <br />size of setbacks). City received a state grant to conduct <br />audit and is in process to get contract finalized. <br />10. Scrap the zoning code. Remove all regulations regarding what can be built <br />where. <br />10-A*: Re-write the zoning code. <br /> <br />It would be a monumental undertaking to re-write the <br />entire zoning code. The end outcome could be as <br />minor as changes to the code suggested as options <br />throughout Strategy 1 or as comprehensive as changing <br />to a citywide form-based code (Option 6) <br />11. Align Zoning map with Comprehensive <br />Plan map (currently Metro Plan’s Plan <br />Diagram). <br /> <br /> <br />The Comprehensive Plan map shows the intended <br />future use of land in Eugene. The Zoning map shows <br />what is currently allowed. The two maps are <br />inconsistent as they were created at different times <br />and have different levels of specificity; typically, the <br />Zoning map allows less density than the <br />Comprehensive Plan map. A builder must go through a <br />land use process, a zone change, to build a structure <br />that is allowed by the Comprehensive Plan, which adds <br />cost, time, and uncertainty to the development <br />process. <br />50*: Add pre-approved ADU plans. <br /> <br />ADUs can be built in a variety of styles and shapes to fit <br />different lots in Eugene. A set of building plans for <br />different styles could be developed and pre-approved <br />by the City, reducing time and cost for individual <br />property owners who would like to build an ADU. This <br />option would likely have a small impact on the overall <br />housing need, but would be a likely benefit to some <br />individuals who want to build an ADU. <br />52*: Allow for additional housing units on <br />major streets. <br /> <br />This is similar to Options 3a, 3b, and 5a, but would <br />expand housing options on major streets that are not <br />key corridors, for example Hilyard, 24th, Irvington, or <br />Harlow. The additional housing types allowed could be <br />duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, rowhouses, cottage <br />clusters, small apartments, or any subset of these <br />options. <br />53*: Revisit/revise land use code to allow for <br />more tiny homes/tiny communities. <br /> <br />Collections of tiny homes such as Emerald Village are <br />restricted in where they may be placed, and must go <br />through an appealable land use process such as a <br />Planned Unit Development (PUD). A tiny home <br />ordinance could be created that allows tiny homes or <br />December 12, 2018, Work Session - Item 2
