Eugene needed housing density and mix ECONorthwest Page AA:F PPENDIX RAMEWORK FOR DETERMINING WHETHER () RESIDENTIAL LAND IS SUFFICIENT STATE REQUIREMENTS This appendix presents the framework for determining residential land sufficiency within the UGB used in ECLA. The land need analysis in ECLA determined the amount of new housing necessary to accommodate expected population growth over the 2011 to 2031 period, based on actual density (achieved over the 2001 to 2008 period) and actual housing mix (over the 1990 to 2008 period). ECLA did not determine the needed housing density and mix for the 2011 to 2031 period. The purpose of this appendix is to describe the entire process that the City will need to complete through Envision Eugene. This memorandum focused on Step 4 (Determine actual mix and density of existing housing) and Step 5 (Determine average density and mix of needed housing) shown in Figure A-1. The passage of the Oregon Land Use Planning Act of 1974 (ORS Chapter 197), established the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC), and the Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD). The Act required the Commission to develop and adopt a set of statewide planning goals. Goal 10 addresses housing in Oregon and provides guidelines for local governments to follow in developing their local comprehensive land use plans and implementing policies. At a minimum, local housing policies must meet the requirements of Goal 10 (ORS 197.295 to 197.314, ORS 197.475 to 197.490, and OAR 600-008). Goal 10 requires incorporated cities to complete an inventory of buildable residential lands and to 10 encourage the availability of adequate numbers of housing units in price and rent ranges commensurate with the financial capabilities of its households. Goal 10 defines needed housing types as “housing types determined to meet the need shown for housing within an urban growth boundary at particular price ranges and rent levels.” ORS 197.303 defines needed housing types: (a) Housing that includes, but is not limited to, attached and detached single-family housing and multiple family housing for both owner and renter occupancy; (b) Government assisted housing; 11 (c) Mobile home or manufactured dwelling parks as provided in ORS 197.475 to 197.490; and (d) Manufactured homes on individual lots planned and zoned for single-family residential use that are in addition to lots within designated manufactured dwelling subdivisions. The definition of buildable residential land from OAR 660-008 is presented in the glossary in Appendix A. 10 Government assisted housing can be any housing type listed in ORS 197.303 (a), (c), or (d). 11 PC AIS, p16
