ISSUE STATEMENT
The City Council is asked to approve or deny a resolution granting a Multiple-Unit Property Tax
Exemption (MUPTE) for the residential portion of the mixed-use development proposed by WG
th
Development at 10 and Charnelton in downtown Eugene.
BACKGROUND
In 1975, the Oregon legislature adopted the enabling statutes for the MUPTE program. This incentive
was created as an implementation tool to complement the state land-use laws that were approved in
1973. The intent was to “stimulate the construction of rental housing in the core areas of Oregon’s
urban centers…” In July 1977, the City Council adopted the provisions through a resolution “. . . to
complement the Eugene Community Goals and Polices adopted in 1974 which stated that ‘High density
dwellings should be encouraged close-in to accommodate those people who prefer to live near the center
of activity’…” Since that time both the state statutes and Eugene’s implementation of them have been
amended. For instance, multi-family ownership is now allowed in addition to rental housing. Most
recently, the council amended E.C. 2.945 through 2.947 to add a new transit-oriented MUPTE area in
November 2008.
In July 2008, the Urban Renewal Agency (URA) selected WG Development as the preferred
th
development team for the 10 and Charnelton redevelopment site. WG proposed a mixed-use
development with approximately 80 residential units in three floors over two floors of office. The two
floors of commercial development will include approximately 51,000 square feet of commercial space;
the commercial space is not subject to the tax exemption.
The property is currently owned by the URA. The agency and WG have signed a Purchase and Sale
Agreement that stipulates that WG buys the property on or before March 31, 2009, for the purposes of
the mixed-use development as described above.
The Planning Director has reviewed the application for any potential code conflicts and found none at
this time. The site is zoned C-3 Major Commercial. The site is vacant and part of the site is used for
surface parking.

The Planning and Development Director has reviewed this application and recommends approval. This
report is included as Exhibit B in the resolution approving the MUPTE.
A copy of this MUPTE application will be placed in the council office for review.
Public Comments
A display advertisement was published in the Register-Guard on December 30, 2008, soliciting
comments for 30 days. No comments were received during the 30-day period ending January 28, 2009.
The Downtown Neighborhood Association reviewed the proposed project in July 2008, and voted in
support of the project. The association was contacted specific to the MUPTE application on December
23, 2008, and has not offered any comments.
Design Features
Consistent with the council’s stated interests in the adopted MUPTE Standards and Guidelines, this
application proposes high density housing in the core of downtown. Although the design for the project
has not yet been finalized, the developers have stated their intention to construct a dense, multi-story
development with the following design features:
Compliance with Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) and Green Building
?
Community Standards
Higher quality materials that contribute to longevity
?
Prominent entry facing the public street
?
Sidewalks with a minimum width of 15 feet, enhanced paving and street trees
?
Impact and Need for Tax Exemptions to Encourage Housing
The City and other local taxing districts forgo revenue when property is exempted from taxes. This
project proposes new construction on a property that is underdeveloped and under-utilized based on the
zoning and property potential. The land continues to be taxed during the exemption period. The
improvements will bring substantial revenue, after ten years, beyond what is currently being collected.
Fiscal Impact
The property is currently in public ownership and is tax exempt. Once the property is in private
ownership and the proposed project is complete, the development will pay annual taxes on the non-
housing commercial portion and a yet to be determined amount on the land itself. While the City will
forgo an estimated $131,526 annually on the housing portion during the 10-year exemption period, this
may be balanced by the income that is received from the commercial space and the land.

th
The pro-forma for the 10 and Charnelton development (Attachment C) indicates three key reasons that
the project would not be built without MUPTE. First, the debt coverage ratio is low at 1.06 instead of
the common bank preference for 1.25 or higher. Second, the perceived risk is high demonstrated by the
Cash on Cash return well below the market-expected 10% to 15% level. The Cash on Cash only reaches
Z:\CMO\2009 Council Agendas\M090223\S0902237.doc
six percent by year 10. Third, the project valuation is well below the amount needed to qualify for
conventional financing. At project stabilization, the projected value of the property is $32 million. The
total cost of the project is $35.5 million and requires $25.9 million in bank debt. At 70% loan to value,
the project needs to be valued at $37 million to qualify, a valuation gap of $5 million.
Timing
This application was submitted on December 18, 2008. If the council does not act within 180 days the
application is considered approved.
RELATED CITY POLICIES
MUPTE is enabled by state statute. The City of Eugene has participated in the MUPTE program since
1978. Encouraging housing in the core area is consistent with numerous adopted planning and policy
documents. Examples include:
Growth Management Policies
Policy 1 Support the existing Eugene Urban Growth Boundary by taking actions to increase
density and use on existing vacant land and under-used land within the boundary more
efficiently.
Policy 2 Encourage in-fill, mixed-use, redevelopment, and higher density development.
Policy 3 Encourage a mix of business and residential uses downtown using incentives and zoning.
Downtown Plan
Living Downtown Policy 1: Stimulate multi-unit housing in the downtown core and on the edges of
downtown for a variety of income levels and ownership opportunities.
COUNCIL OPTIONS
The council may approve the exemption, deny the exemption, or may delay approval in order to request
additional information from the developer to determine that a satisfactory public benefit has been met.
CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION
The City Manager recommends approving the resolution to grant the exemption.

Debt Coverage Ratio

The pro-forma uses conservative assumptions about property value growth and market
assumptions about vacancy and operating expenses. The model assumes that assessed property
values increase by 2% per year. The vacancy rate is assumed at 5% of rental income and
operating expenses are estimated at 25% of rental income, both standard assumptions in financial
underwriting. The above listed financial information is based on projections prior to financing,
tenanting, and construction. The cap rate was estimated at 6.75%.
Conclusion
The above Pro-Forma for WG shows three key reasons that the project would not be built
without MUPTE. First, the debt coverage ratio is low at 1.06 instead of the common bank
1
preference for 1.25 or higher. Second, the perceived risk is high demonstrated by the Cash on
1
Debt Coverage Ratio = Net Operating Income (NOI) divided by debt service
Cash return well below the market-expected 10% to 15% level. The Cash on Cash only reaches
2
six percent by year 10. Third, the project valuation is well below the amount needed to qualify
3
for conventional financing. At project stabilization, the projected value of the property is $32
million. The total cost of the project is $35.5 million and requires $25.9 million in bank debt. At
70% loan to value, the project needs to be valued at $37 million to qualify, a valuation gap of $5
million.
The Pro-Forma below shows that the project improves with the MUPTE. The debt service is
1.15. The Cash on Cash reaches 8% by year ten, only slightly below the market expectation.
The project valuation is 74% loan to value, which is closer to loan to value ratios currently in the
market.
