Exhibit B Findings: Building height standards are related to design as they affect the plan or "scheme' for the construction and finish of the accessory building. Building setbacks standards are related to siting because they impact the position or location of the accessory dwelling on the lot. Regarding EC 9.2751(3)(d), which applies in the R-1 zone and clarifies that the additional 7 feet of height granted to buildings with steeper roof pitches does not apply to accessory dwellings, is reasonable because this also applies to accessory buildings (such as garages and sheds) and development on alley access lots, both of which building types are similar in size to accessory dwellings. By definition, accessory dwellings are intended to be used in connection with or accessory to the primary one -family dwelling. Not granting a height bonus in R-1 is a reasonable method to ensure that the accessory dwelling is "accessory" to the primary dwelling. Regarding EC 9.2751(17)(a)3., which requires attached accessory dwellings (except within the university area neighborhoods) located within 60 feet of a front lot line have interior yard setbacks of at least 5 feet, and a maximum building height limited to that of the main building as per Table 9.2750 is reasonable because it applies the minimum setback and maximum building height of the main building (primary dwelling) to the accessory dwelling that is attached to the main building. Presumably, if the attached accessory dwelling is within 60 feet of the front lot line, it will have less of an impact on adjacent properties than if located in the back yard. The standards in subsection b. that prescribe a sloped setback and maximum building height of 18 feet for attached secondary dwellings located greater than 60 feet from a front lot line is reasonable because there are greater impacts to surrounding properties when an accessory dwelling is located more than 60 feet from the front lot line. The standard in subsection c. that limits intrusions into setbacks beyond the standard instructions at EC 9.6745(3) are reasonable because accessory dwellings can have a greater impact on overcrowding, solar access and neighborhood livability. Regarding EC 9.2751(17)(b)5., which applies to detached accessory dwellings (except in the university area neighborhoods) is reasonable because accessory dwellings are intended to be accessory to the primary dwelling, and limiting their size is one way to ensure they are accessory. Limiting the building height and setbacks of detached accessory dwelling is also reasonable because development on the rear portion of lots can have a greater impact on overcrowding, solar access and neighborhood livability. Regarding EC 9.2751(17)(c)9., which applies to detached accessory dwellings in the university area neighborhoods, these standards are same as the standards that apply to detached accessory dwellings in the remainder of the city (see EC 9.2751(17)(b)5.), except that there is no provision for an adjustment review to allow for an accessory dwelling over an accessory building, such as a detached garage. It is reasonable that accessory dwellings within the city -recognized boundaries of Amazon Neighbors, Fairmount Neighbors and South University Neighborhood Association ("the university area neighborhoods") are subject to specialized area -specific standards. The standards contained in EC 9.2751(17)(c) were adopted as interim protection measures for the existing single-family neighborhoods surrounding the University of Oregon (Amazon, Fairmount and South University), which have in recent years experienced a substantial increase in unforeseen housing development associated with the skyrocketing demand for private student housing in the proximity of the university. Residents of those neighborhoods supported this regulation as a way to help make the new development less impactful on the livability of the neighborhood. Livability is an important Statewide Planning Goal 14 concept, along with accommodating the need for compact development. 24
