(1)This section applies to the following types of applications: (a)Type II: 3-lot partitions, tentative subdivisions, tentative cluster subdivisions and design reviews, except for 3-lot partitions and tentative subdivisions that implement an approved tentative planned unit development; This change is related to COM-14 (Duplicate Neighborhood/Applicant Meeting) and would provide an exception for subdivisions and partitions when processed in conjunction with a planned unit development. Application Requirements and Criteria 9.8030 Adjustment Review - Approval Criteria. The planning director shall approve, conditionally approve, or deny an adjustment review application. Approval or conditional approval shall be based on compliance with the following applicable criteria. * * * (37)Street Standards Adjustment. Where this land use code provides that street standards may be adjusted, the standards may be adjusted upon a demonstration by the applicant that the requested adjustment is consistent with the following: (a)The applicant has submitted a report prepared by an Orgon licensed civil engineer that demonstrates it is not technically or financially feasible to construct the street in accordance with adopted plans and policies, and adopted “Design Standards and Guidelines for Eugene Streets, Sidewalks, Bikeways, and Accessways.” (b)The adjustment is necessary due to at least one of the following conditions: 1.Existing on-site or off-site geologic or topographic conditions, or existing wetlands designated for protection by the City of Eugene; or 2.Existing development on lands abutting the development site. This change relates to COS-19 (Street Modifications). The proposed new language provides discretionary approval criteria for a new adjustment review option for Clear & Objective applications. If the clear and objective exception to the standards cannot be met, applicants would have the option to apply for a discretionary adjustment to the standards. 9.8045 Applicability of Cluster Subdivisions. Cluster subdivision provisions shall be applied when requested by the property owner and when the proposed subdivision meets the definition of cluster subdivision in section 9.0500 of this land use code.

No development permit shall be issued by the city prior to approval of the cluster subdivision.
