parking space shall be counted towards the total number of <br />parking spaces. <br />b.The maximum dimensions for a garage shall be 16 feet by <br />24 feet, with a maximum garage door width of 9 feet. <br />c.The minimum setback for a garage shall be 5 feet from the <br />alley. If the garage is setback greater than 5 feet from the <br />alley, it must be setback a minimum of 15 feet and the area <br />between the garage and the alley shall be counted towards <br />one parking space. <br />d.The maximum width for a driveway accessing a garage or <br />carport shall be 12 feet. <br />e.The maximum dimensions for one parking space located <br />perpendicular to the alley shall be 12 feet in width by 20 feet <br />in depth. <br />f.The maximum dimensions for two side by side parking <br />spaces perpendicular to the alley shall be 20 feet in width by <br />20 feet in depth. <br />g.The maximum dimensions for tandem parking spaces shall <br />be12 feet in width by 33 feet in depth. <br />h.Only one parking space parallel to the alley shall be allowed, <br />and such space shall not exceed 10 feet in width and 20 feet <br />in length along the length of alley. <br />i.The total vehicle use area, including but not limited to <br />driveways and on-site parking, but not including parking <br />space in garage, shall not exceed 400 square feet. <br />j.No parking shall occur outside of the vehicle use area. <br />Findings: Standards pertaining specifically to accessory dwelling parking and driveways where the <br />primary vehicle access for the required parking is from an alley are related to both siting and design <br />because they impact the way in which an accessory dwelling is constructed (to accommodate parking <br />area) and/or the location of the accessory dwelling on the lot; they assist in determining the ground that <br />may or may not be occupied by the accessory dwelling. <br />These standards are reasonable because they limit the traffic on alleys while still ensuring an adequate <br />amount of area for parking for the accessory dwelling. It is necessary to addresses the impacts of a <br />potential doubling of the number of vehicular trips on city alleys that are not typically improved to a <br />level to support such traffic. <br />It is reasonable that accessory dwellings within the city-recognized boundaries of Amazon Neighbors, <br />Fairmount Neighbors and South University Neighborhood Association (“the university area <br />neighborhoods”) are subject to specialized area-specific standards. The standards contained in EC <br />9.2751(17)(c) were adopted as interim protection measures for the existing single-family neighborhoods <br />surrounding the University of Oregon (Amazon, Fairmount and South University), which have in recent <br />years experienced a substantial increase in unforeseen housing development associated with the <br />skyrocketing demand for private student housing in the proximity of the university. Residents of those <br />neighborhoods supported this regulation as a way to help make the new development less impactful on <br />the livability of the neighborhood. Livability is an important Statewide Planning Goal 14 concept, along <br />with accommodating the need for compact development. <br />May 20, 2019, Public Hearing - Item 2
