moderate-income households, an objective calling for encouragement and support of housing for low- moderate income households, and policies calling far regulations that encourage a variety of housing densities and types as well as participation by a full range of public and private organizations in the low-- and moderate-income housing market, and the dispersal of housing for all income groups. In order to achieve the housing goals of the city concern- ing the provision and dispersal of .low- and moderate-income housing, it is necessary to establish zoning procedures that will implement those policies by allowing an increase in den- sity in low density zoning districts. This increase in density is necessitated by local land costs and the fact that the high cost of land precludes the use of mast land already zoned to higher density for the development of lower income housing. Since the Metropolitan Area General Plan authorizes local jurisdictions to establish specific density ranges and estab- lishes the provisions of law- and moderate-income housing as a metropolitan objective, .the provisions of the Eugene Code, 1971, dealing with controlled income and rent housing are deemed to be a method for correlating the General Plan goals with local conditions. Further, the criteria fo cr ontrolled income and rent housing established in section 9.?242} and ~3} will insure that the objective of the General Plan in maintaining a balance between the level of development and the provision of services is achieved, A conditional use permit for CIR housing is not necessary unless the increased density provided for in section 9.724 is requested, ~2 Allowance of increased density.
