A list of the Panel members that reviewed the Ferry St. Manor MUPTE application is in Attachment C. <br />Project Overview Ferry St. Manor is a proposed five-story, $8.2 million multi-unit housing project. The project is about 31,000 square feet divided amongst the five floors and is comprised of 50 residential units (35 studios and 15 one-bedrooms). The property is owned by the applicant, RNS Management, LLC, and the proposed project is located on an existing surface parking lot serving residents of Eugene Manor, an existing multi-unit housing development. See Attachment B for a map of the Ferry St. Manor project site. <br /> <br />Project Required Public Benefits The Review Panel considered the project application, including compliance with program criteria and the independent consultant’s financial review, during three meetings held on May 29, July 10 and July 29. The Review Panel concluded that the project meets the Required Public Benefit criteria. Attachment D contains the Review Panel’s conclusions and recommendation to the City Manager and minority reports from two members. The Report and Recommendation in Attachment E provides a summary of the project and the Required Public Benefits. <br /> General Eligibility. The project is located within the MUPTE boundary. The project is not designed to be student housing, meaning it will be leased by the unit (rather than by individual rooms or beds) and the unit configuration does not include several bedrooms with individual bathrooms and sparse common space or include amenities and location selected primarily for individuals attending college and offer limited viability as potential housing for the general population. Additionally, the project does not designate any of the units for transient use or vacation occupancy. <br /> Compact Urban Development. The project parcel is in the R-4 High Density Residential Zone, which requires at least 20 housing units per acre and a maximum of 112 units per acre. Ferry St. Manor includes 50 dwelling units that would result in a density of 103 units per acre, which is more than 175% of minimum density required by the MUPTE program. Green Building Features. The project will utilize the City of Eugene Building and Permit Services pathway in order to exceed the 10 percent energy efficiency MUPTE required benchmark. If council approves the MUPTE, RNS Management will be required to submit an energy model with the permit application and a commissioning report due 18 months after the Certificate of Occupancy is issued to validate energy performance. Local Economic Impact Plan. RNS Management has a plan for an estimated 67 percent of the project’s dollar volume of professional services and construction contracts to be local to Lane County. Their general contractor is John Hyland Construction. RNS Management will be required to promote open, competitive opportunities for Minority, Women, and Emerging Small Businesses and to comply with wage, tax and licensing laws. RNS Management will a) provide the City with a list of all contractors, b) require that each
