A. 15 Develop a wider range of zoning options such as new zoning districts, to fully utilize <br /> existing Metro Plan density ranges. <br /> <br /> A. 16 Allow for the development of zoning districts which allow overlap of the established <br /> Metro Plan density ranges to promote housing choice and result in either maintaining or <br /> increasing housing density in those districts. Under no circumstances, shall housing <br /> densities be allowed below existing Metro Plan density ranges. <br /> <br /> Housine Type and Tenure <br /> <br /> Findings <br /> <br /> 19. Based on 1990 Census data for the Eugene area, there is a relationship between <br /> household income, size of household, age of household head, and housing choices people <br /> make regarding type and tenure. The trends established are as follows: lower income <br /> and increasingly moderate-income, primarily young and single-person households tend to <br /> be renters. Ownership increases as income and family size increase. Older households <br /> predominately remain in owner-occupied, single-family housing, but as the age of the <br /> head of household reaches 65, ownership rates begin to decline. <br /> <br />20. Based on the ECO Northwest/Leland Study, What is the Market Demand for Residential <br /> Real Estate in Eugene/Spring[ield? (October 1996) a larger share of the future population <br /> will be composed of smaller, older, and less affluent households. This will alter housing <br /> market demand in many ways over the next 20 years. Married couple families with <br /> children will no longer be the predominate household type of the residential market. <br /> Singles, childless couples, divorcees, and single parents will be a much larger proportion <br /> of the market than in the past. To meet the needs of these households, more choices in <br /> housing types (both for sale and for rent) than currently exist will be necessary. <br /> <br />21. Based on Lane County assessment data, in the 1980s and 1990s, there was a shift to <br /> larger, single-family detached homes, even through the average number of persons per <br /> household has been declining. <br /> <br />22. Between 1989 and 1998, 45 percent of all new housing was single-family detached <br /> including manufactured units on lots. As of 1998, about 59 percent of all dwelling units <br /> were single-family detached. This represents a decrease in the share of single-family <br /> detached from 61 percent in 1989. <br /> <br />Policies <br /> <br />A.17 Provide opportunities for a full range of choice in housing type, density, size, cost, and <br /> location. <br /> <br />A. 18 Encourage a mix of structure types and densities within residential designations by <br /> reviewing and, if necessary, amending local zoning and development regulations. <br /> <br /> III-A-8 <br /> <br /> <br />
