Amendments to the Bethet-Danebo Plan require that the Royal Avenue Specific Plan serve as the <br />basis for development regulations and in~astructure improvements within the Royal Avenue <br />Specific Plan area. The specific plan coordinates higher density development with infrastructure, <br />oPen space and other amenities necessary to support the recommended densities. <br /> <br />1©. <br /> <br />Policy A. 13 (Residential Land Use and Housing Element Page III-A-8) "Increase overall <br />residential density in the metropolitan area by creating more opportunities for effectively <br />designed in-fill, redevelopment, and mixed use., White considering impacts of increased <br />residential density on historic, existing and future neighborhoods." <br /> <br />Amendments to the Bethel-Danebo Plan require that the Royal Avenue Specific Plan serve as the <br />basis for development regulations and infrastructure improvements within the Royal Avenue <br />Specific Plan are~. The Royal Avenue Specific Plan provides for an increase in land ~vailable for <br />medium-density residential development through inclusion of three proposed new zoning districts. <br />Two of the new zoning districts (Residential Mixed Use and Commercial Mixed Use,) provide for <br />the additiOn of almost 20 acres of land designated for higher density development. The third ne-w <br />district (Main Street COmmercial) provides for additional opportunities to provide higher-density <br />housing above ground floor commercial uses. The specific plan proposes that development in these <br />areas occur at a minimum density level of 18 dwelling units per net acre. <br /> <br />There are no identified historic neighborhoods within or in proximity to the plan area~ Design <br />standards and design guidelines in t~e amendments to the Eugene Code that implement the Ro~l <br />Plan are intended to reduce the negative impacts of increased residential density on existing and <br />future neighborhoods. <br /> <br />t 1. Policy A. 14 ~'Residemial Land Use and Housing Element Page III-A-8) ~'Review local <br /> zoning and development regulations periodically to remove barriers to higher density housing <br /> and make provision for a full range of housing options." <br /> <br />Cost-factors and regulatory inefficiencies are often cited as a barrier to higher-density and mixed-use <br />development. The amendments to the Eugene Code that implement the specific Plan include new <br />standards for smaller lot development that ~ill reduce the per-unit cost oflaTnd for nbw development. <br />The code amendments also includes standards for narrow residential streets, and include provisions <br />for an open drainage system that is expected to cost significantly less to build than a piped drainage <br />system for the same area. The street standards and d;ainage provisions should reduce the per-trait <br />cost fbr street construction and for construction of a drainage system for the area thereby reducing <br />one of ihe perceived barriers. <br /> <br />The code amendments propose adjustments to minimum lot size requirements in the Eugene Code <br />that will actually allow the levels of density prescribed fbr Low-Density and Medium-Density <br />residential development in the Metro Plan. The code amendments promote development ofa broa~t <br />mixture of housing types within the node and allow attached and detached single f~mily dwellings, <br /> <br />Exhibit D - 8 <br /> <br /> <br />
