May 7, 2019 Clear & Objective Update – Draft Land Use Code Language Page 26 of 32 (108) Lots proposed for development with one-family detached dwellings shall comply with EC 9.2790 Solar Lot Standards [(these standards may be modified as set forth in subsection (11) below)]. This change is related to COM-05 (Planned Unit Development Adjustment/Modification). The proposed change removes the modification allowance currently allowed under existing subsection (11) below (text to be deleted). Exceptions and exemptions to these requirements are already allowed per EC 9.2790(3) and (4). (119) [The PUD complies with all applicable development standards explicitly addressed in the application except where the applicant has shown that a modification is consistent with the purposes as set out in EC 9.8300 Purpose of Planned Unit Development.] The applicant has submitted a letter from the Eugene/Springfield Fire Marshal's office stating that the proposed development complies with the applicable Eugene Fire Code (2014) requirements regarding fire apparatus access roads and fire protection water supply, or will comply subject to conditions of approval that are specified in the letter. This change is related to COS-14 (19 Lot Rule—Motor Vehicle Dispersal) and COS-08 (Emergency Response). The proposed replacement of (6)(c) above with this new criterion at subsection (9), that would require a letter from the Fire Marshal’s office, is necessary as the Land Use Board of Appeals determined that subsection (6)(c) is not clear and objective. (1210)For any PUD located within or partially within the boundaries of the South Hills Study, the following additional approval criteria apply: (a)[No development shall occur on land above an elevation of 900 feet except that one dwelling may be built on any lot in existence as of August 1, 2001.] Development on any portion of the development site located above 900 feet elevation is limited by the following: 1.The sum of all building area, measured using building footprints, shall not exceed 5,000 square feet on proposed new lots or parcels. 2.Driveways shall not exceed 20 feet in width on proposed new lots or parcels. The removal of existing subsection (a) from the Tentative PUD approval criterion implements COS -05 (Limitation Over 900 Feet for PUDs). The change replaces the former limitation of one dwelling with the new density limit under subsection (c)(4) below. The proposed new language adds new limitations to reduce the impacts of development and protect the area above 900 feet elevation from an “intensive level of development” consistent with the South Hills Study. (b)Development on any portion of the development site located above 900 feet elevation shall be setback at least 300 feet from the ridgeline unless there is a determination by the city manager that the area is not needed as a connection to the city’s ridgeline trail system. For purposes of this section, the ridgeline [trail] shall be considered as the line indicated as being the urban growth boundary [within the South Hills Study plan area]. This revision implements COS-06 (Ridgeline Setback for PUDs). The change clarifies that the setback will now only apply to portions of the development site located above 900 feet elevation and removes redundant language. May 20, 2019, Work Session – Item 2
