<br />12.Are there incentives to not bringing a car? <br />Yes. There is a planned LTD bus stop incorporated in the project which would include a <br />sheltered bus stop integrated into the building. There are plans for a shared car facility (such <br />as “WeCar”) and more bicycle parking and secured storage than required by code. Capstone <br />is proposing to charge for parking ($35 per space per month, $420 annually). <br /> <br /> <br />13.Can you describe the bike parking in more detail? <br /> <br />A large portion of the ground floor of the parking structure is dedicated to covered and <br />th <br />secured bike storage located directly off of the 12 Avenue bike path. The opportunity exists <br />to increase the storage capacity in this area with hanging methods of bike storage, in addition <br />to other locations for bike parking off the north/south vacated alley, and in upper stories of <br />the parking garage. <br /> <br /> <br />14.What are the U of O’s enrollment projections? <br />Current enrollment is 24,400. The U of O has experienced enrollment increases of <br />approximately 4% per year over the past three years, which translates to approximately 1,000 <br />additional students per year. Current projections expect enrollment to level off in 2014 <br />slightly above current enrollment. <br /> <br /> <br />15.What is the current rental housing vacancy rate? Student housing vacancy rate? <br />In general, apartment vacancy rates in the area have remained relatively low at approximately <br />4%. There is no current data available that is specific to student housing vacancy rates in <br />Eugene. <br /> <br />However, the draft recommendation for Envision Eugene projects a 20-year demand for <br />6,301 residential units on medium/high density residential land or commercial land. The <br />Envision Eugene estimate for additional student housing units over the next 20 years is 1,300 <br />units. Based on recent information, U of O assumes a student population increase of 4,500 <br />over the next 20 years, 1,250 of which they plan to accommodate in UO (campus) housing. <br />That leaves 3,250 students to account for. Average persons per unit in student-type housing <br />is estimated at somewhere between 2.5 and 3. Assuming a “lowest case” average of 2.5 <br />persons per unit, up to an additional 1,300 units may be needed somewhere off-campus. <br /> Some percentage of these students will be grad students, older students with families, people <br />commuting from outside Eugene who will not be looking for typical student housing. <br />However, this could be a reasonable “upper limit” for additional student housing need. <br /> <br /> <br />16.What student beds will be coming on line, MUPTE and non MUPTE? <br />The City’s Building and Permit Services currently has active building permits for 364 multi- <br />family units, located in different areas of the community. One MUPTE project with 100 <br />th <br />units (138 beds) was recently completed (approved in 2011) on 17 & Pearl, which may have <br />some student residents. <br /> <br /> <br />17.What are the U of O’s dorm construction plans? <br />Based on information from the U of O, there are currently roughly 19,000 university <br />undergraduate and graduate student renters in the Eugene and Springfield communities. <br />University residence halls are designed to complement and enhance student academic <br />
