EXHIBIT F Findings of Consistency Infill Compatibility Standards for Multi - Family Developments (City File CA 11 -2) Summary The findings below address the required approval criteria from the Eugene Code for land use code amendments and cover the following topics: • Multi - Family Open Space Standards • Allowed Intrusions in Required Setbacks • Driveways and Parking Areas in the R -3 and R -4 Zones • Garbage and Recycling Screening • Compatible Transition between R -1 and R -3/R -4 zone boundaries in the South University Area • Bicycle Parking Standards Code Amendment Eugene Code Section 9.8065 requires that the following approval criteria (in bold and italics) be applied to a code amendment: (1) The amendment is consistent with applicable statewide planning goals adopted by the Land Conservation and Development Commission. Goal 1 - Citizen Involvement To develop a citizen involvement program that insures the opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process. The City has acknowledged provisions for citizen involvement which ensure the opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process and set out requirements for such involvement. The process for adopting these amendments was consistent with the City's requirements and provided numerous additional opportunities for interested parties to participate in development of the amendments. The majority of these topics came directly from recommendations of the Infill Compatibility Standards Project, which represented a diverse range of interests, including neighborhood associations, the development community, and affordable housing advocates. A subcommittee devoted to multi - family development completed substantial work developing proposals and recommending draft code that largely informed these amendments. Prior to the start of the formal adoption process, the proposals were sent out for broad public feedback to over 175 individuals that are involved in a group or profession associated with neighborhood livability and infill, including neighborhood leaders, architects, designers and developers of multi - family developments, Infill Compatibility Standards Task Team, Home Builder's Association, Envision Eugene Community Resource Group, Opportunity Siting Task Team, and bicycle advocates. The proposals were also available via the Planning Division's website. Additionally, public comment was received at the Planning Commission work sessions prior to the hearing.
