<br />incompatible development and adopt a schedule for completion of nodal plans and implementing <br />ordinances. <br /> <br /> Metro Plan: <br /> E.6. Local jurisdictions shall carefully evaluate their development regulations to ensure that <br />they address environmental design considerations, such as, but not limited to, safety, crime <br />prevention, aesthetics, and compatibility with existing and anticipated adjacent uses <br />(particularly considering high and medium density development locating adjacent to low <br />density residential). <br /> <br />A.9. Establish density ranges in local zoning and development regulations that are consistent with <br />the broad density categories of this plan. *** <br /> *** Medium density: Over 10 through 20 dwelling units per gross acre (could translate to <br /> over 14.28 units per net acre through 28.56 units per net acre depending on each <br /> jurisdictions implementation measures and land use and development codes) <br /> <br />A.10. Promote higher residential density inside the UGB that utilizes existing infrastructure, <br />improves the efficiency of public services and facilities, and conserves rural resource lands <br />outside the UGB. <br /> <br />A.11. Generally locate higher density residential development near employment or commercial <br />services, in proximity to major transportation systems or within transportation-efficient <br />nodes. <br /> <br />A.13. Increase overall residential density in the metropolitan area by creating more opportunities <br />for effectively designed in-fill, redevelopment, and mixed use while considering impacts of <br />increased residential density on historic, existing and future neighborhoods. <br /> <br />A.14. Review local zoning and development regulations periodically to remove barriers to higher <br />density housing and to make provision for a full range of housing options. <br /> <br /> Growth Management Study: <br /> <br /> Policy 1 Support the existing Eugene Urban Growth Boundary by taking actions to increase <br />density and use existing vacant land and under-used land within the boundary more <br />efficiently. <br /> <br /> Policy 2 Encourage in-fill, mixed-use, redevelopment, and higher density development. <br /> <br /> Policy 4 Improve the appearance of buildings and landscapes. <br /> <br /> Policy 6 Increase density of new housing development while maintaining the character and <br />livability of individual neighborhoods. <br /> <br /> Policy 9 Mitigate the impacts of new and/or higher density housing, in-fill, and redevelopment on <br />neighborhoods through design standards, open space and housing maintenance programs, <br />and continuing historic preservation and neighborhood planning programs. <br /> <br /> L:\CMO\2005 Council Agendas\M051012\S051012A.doc <br /> <br />
