ORS 457.010(1)(a)(D)
<br />None of the properties within the existing District or the proposed expansion area were determined
<br />to have structures that are unfit for their intended purpose or unsafe to occupy due to inadequate
<br />provision for ventilation, light, sanitation, open spaces and recreation facilities.
<br />ORS 457.010(1)(a)(E)
<br />Properties identified on the Blight Findings Matrix as meeting (a)(E) were determined to have
<br />structures that are unfit for their intended purpose or unsafe to occupy because of obsolescence,
<br />deterioration, dilapidation, mixed character or shifting of uses.
<br />The properties listed below were identified under (a)(E) due to obsolescence resulting from a
<br />dependency on steam (indicated in the property-specific findings, below).Steam dependency is a
<br />factor because the Eugene Water and Electric Board (EWEB) has begun plans to decommission their
<br />steam plant, requiring buildings on the steam system to convert to another heating source at their
<br />own expense. Buildings relying on steam therefore demonstrate a condition of obsolescence. This
<br />was the case with the following properties in the current boundaries of the Urban Renewal District:
<br />5, 11, 20, 23, 24, 26, 27, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 61, 62, 65, 66, 75, 78, 79, 80, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88,
<br />89, 100, 102, 124, 125, 131, 132, 143, 145, 146, 149, 150, 151, and 152. This was also the case with
<br />Map ID # 153 in the proposed District expansion area.
<br />With respect to building conditions, each building has been given a rating in the property-specific
<br />findings below, based upon the following scale:
<br />+
<br /> “” New, near new, or well-maintained older buildings
<br />±
<br />“” Buildings needing rehabilitation (for visible damage or wear, structural cracks, seismic
<br />upgrading, water infiltration, etc.) and improved maintenance (for peeling exteriors,
<br />graffiti, broken windows, torn awnings, etc.);
<br />–
<br />“” Dilapidated buildings which appear to be beyond an ability to be economically
<br />rehabilitated
<br />A number of properties were identified under (a)(E) because they show deterioration or dilapidation.
<br />Properties that have buildings with a “±” or “–” rating exhibit conditions leading them to be
<br />unusable or uninhabitable, and were therefore found to be unfit for their intended purpose or unsafe
<br />to occupy because of obsolescence, deterioration, dilapidation, mixed character or shifting of uses.
<br />The following properties in the current boundaries of the Urban Renewal District exhibited the
<br />characteristics listed above: 1, 2, 6, 11, 14, 20, 23, 26, 27, 45, 48, 50, 51, 60, 61, 63, 64, 65, 66, 69,
<br />70, 71, 78, 80, 83, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 95, 97, 99, 100, 101, 121, 123, 125, 132, 143, 148 and 152.
<br />This was also the case with the following properties in the proposed District expansion area: 153,
<br />155, 164 and 167. The specific conditions are indicated in the property-specific findings, below.
<br />ORS 457.010(1)(b)
<br />None of the properties in the current or proposed District boundaries are characterized by the existence
<br />of an economic dislocation, deterioration or disuse of property resulting from faulty planning.
<br />ORS 457.010(1)(c)
<br />Properties identified on the Blight Findings Matrix as meeting (c) were determined to be characterized
<br />by land divisions and sales that have resulted in lots of irregular form and shape and inadequate size or
<br />Ú·²¼·²¹í
