The City Council of the City of Eugene finds that:

particularly described in Exhibit A attached to this Resolution (the Property).
B. The Mainstream Housing development first received a Low-Income Rental
Housing Property Tax Exemption (LIRHPTE) for the Property in 2002. The residential units on
the Property have housed low-income households since that time. Under EC 2.940(5), in the final
year of a low-income housing tax exemption, an application for a subsequent low-income housing
tax exemption for the Property may be submitted.
C. Mainstream Housing Incorporated (895 Country Club Road, Suite 200A, Eugene,
Oregon, 97401) (the applicant) has submitted an application for an exemption from ad valorem
taxes on the Property beginning July 1, 2023, under the City's Low-Income Rental Housing
Property Tax Exemption Program (EC 2.937 to 2.940).
D. The tax exemption being sought for the Property includes one studio apartment,
four one-bedroom units, four two-bedroom units, and one studio unit to be used as a community
room for common use by residents, for a total of 9 low-income rental units, and one common area
unit. The applicant is seeking the tax exemption for the entire Property.
E. The Community Development Manager of the Planning and Development
Department, as designee of the City Manager, has prepared a Report and Recommendation
recommending that the application be approved and the exemption granted. In making that
recommendation, the Community Development Manager found that the applicant submitted all
materials, documents and fees required by Section 2.938 of the Eugene Code, 1971 (EC), and is
in compliance with the policies set forth in Section 5 of the Standards and Guidelines adopted by
Resolution No. 5297. In addition, the Community Development Manager found that the applicant
has complied with the criteria for approval provided in EC 2.939(3), and the eligibility
