2. For lots and parcels with at least 50 feet of frontage, driveways shall cover a maximum of one-half of the area in the required front yard setback. All portions of required front yard setbacks not otherwise covered by legal driveways shall be landscaped and maintained. [In addition, the maximum width of a driveway permitted in conjunction with a one family dwelling or secondary dwelling shall be 27 feet. This includes a combined width if more than one driveway is constructed on the lot using the required front yard setback.] 3. Within the required front yard setback, recreational vehicles, boats, boat trailers, and other vehicles not in daily use, may only be parked on the paved driveway portion of the required front yard setback. No parking shall occur in the landscaped portion of the required front yard setback. These vehicles not in daily use, are allowed to park in the front setback for not more than 48 consecutive hours. 4. Recreational vehicles, boat trailers, and other vehicles not in daily use, are permitted to be located in the required interior yard setbacks.

Section 7 . Section 9.6750 of the Eugene Code, 1971, is amended to provide as follows: 9.6750 Special Setback Standards. (1) Purpose of Special Setbacks. Improved streets are necessary for safe and efficient circulation within the city. Due to historical development patterns, many streets within the city have public right-of-way widths that are less than [that required in EC 9.6870 Street Width] the amount needed to design and construct the streets in accordance with specifications adopted pursuant to Chapter 7 of this code. Proper public right-of-way width is required to allow the improvement of streets to the standards required in EC 9.6505 Improvements - Specifications. It is intended that all streets within the city will eventually be improved to the city standard. A special setback ensures that buildings are constructed in such a manner that they will conform with the front and interior setbacks required by specific zones when the streets on which they front are widened and improved to the city standard. (2) Special Setback for Streets. (a) A lot or parcel of land in any zone adjoining an arterial or collector street that is not improved with curb, gutter, sidewalk, street lights and street trees [for which the planned public right-of-way width and alignment has been determined,] shall have a [building] special setback line equal to a distance of one-half the width [established in EC 9.6870 Street Width, plus the setback required in the zone]designated on the adopted Street Right-of-Way Map. If the street is not designated on the adopted Street Right-of-Way Map, the special setback width shall be equal to the distance of one-half of the minimum width established by EC 9.6870 and Table 9.6870.
