City of Eugene Legislative Policies for 2009 Oregon Legislative Session <br /> <br /> <br />?Eugene supports dedicated revenue from the current state surcharge on building permit fees <br />to fund education and training programs, particularly for local building department staff. <br /> <br /> <br />?Eugene supports time lines that ensure plan quality and do not unnecessarily expand work <br />volume or increase administrative costs while ensuring timeliness. <br /> <br /> <br />?Eugene supports the state role to police licensing laws while not imposing this enforcement <br />as an unfunded burden on local jurisdictions which distracts from their primary charge of <br />ensuring safe, energy efficient and accessible buildings. <br /> <br /> <br />?Eugene opposes restricting local programs or local authority. <br /> <br />Building codes have become a complex burden for jurisdictions administering the codes and for <br />those in the building industry. Certain actions would simplify the codes for all parties, making their <br />administration more cost-effective and maintaining the integrity of their intent to promote public <br />health, welfare and safety. Additionally, the inconsistent manner in which building codes are <br />currently administered and enforced throughout the state has caused an atmosphere of uncertainty <br />and unpredictability and has created competition between jurisdictions with regard to development <br />activity. <br /> <br />C. HOUSING <br /> <br /> <br />?Eugene supports assistance to residents when manufactured home parks are closed or when <br />rental units are converted to condominiums. <br /> <br /> <br />?Eugene supports incentives for compact urban growth. <br /> <br /> <br />?Eugene supports incentives and subsidies for housing that features sustainable building <br />materials and practices. <br /> <br /> <br />?Eugene supports the development of low-income and affordable housing while considering <br />the interests of cities and their citizens. <br /> <br /> <br />?Eugene supports the repeal of ORS 197.309 which prohibits local jurisdictions from <br />requiring affordable housing as a condition of development approval (“inclusionary <br />zoning”). <br /> <br /> <br />?Eugene supports the prohibition on insurance companies from either denying insurance <br />coverage for housing because it has public financing or increasing its premiums for such <br />coverage. <br /> <br /> <br />?Eugene supports broadening the eligibility requirements for housing assistance, without <br />compromising the existing low-income assistance requirements. <br /> <br /> <br />?Eugene supports continued and immediate funding of affordable housing development <br />through the Housing Trust Fund and a funding goal of at least $100 million this biennium. <br /> <br /> <br />?Eugene supports state supported homeless shelters. <br /> <br />14 <br /> <br /> <br />
