ORDINANCE NO. 20742
AN ORDINANCE CONCERNING HOUSING PRODUCTION INCENTIVES AND
ADDING SECTIONS 2.950, 2.951 AND 2.952 TO THE EUGENE CODE, 1971.
The City Council of the City of Eugene finds as follows:
A. The provisions of ORS 307.600 to ORS 307.637 enable the city to grant local
property tax exemptions to encourage multiple-unit housing located in core areas and transit-
oriented areas designated by the city.
B. The City Council finds that the commercial centers shown on the overview map and
map tiles that together comprise Map 2.951 (2)(d)2. Property Tax Exemption -Housing
Incentives for Housing in Commercial Centers, attached as Exhibits A-1 through A-5 to this
Ordinance, are core areas of the city that are eligible for the property tax exemption enabled by
ORS 307.600 to ORS 307.637. Specifically, the City Council finds that the commercial centers
shown on Map 2.951 (2)(d)2. Property Tax Exemption -Housing Incentives for Housing in
Commercial Centers, including the city's downtown, function as core areas of the city because
they support higher-intensity development and serve both the needs of surrounding residents
and the needs of individuals from across the city. The City Council further finds that commercial
centers generally provide easy access to transit and feature a range of commercial services,
community services, employment opportunities, public facilities, and housing options. Finally,
the City Council finds that there is a need and demand for housing in commercial centers and
that the housing that is needed is not likely to be produced without the incentive of a property
tax exemption.
C. The City Council finds that the properties identified on the overview map and map
tiles that together comprise Map 2.951 (2)(e)2. Property Tax Exemption -Housing Incentives for
Housing in Transit-Oriented Areas, attached to this Ordinance as Exhibits B-1 through B-5 to
this Ordinance, are transit-oriented areas eligible for the property tax exemption enabled by
ORS 307.600 to ORS 307.637. Specifically, the City Council finds that a "transit-oriented area"
is an area located within one-quarter mile of a fixed-route transit service. The City Council
further finds that a "fixed-route" service is a bus service that operates on a specific schedule and
along a consistent route. An alternative to fixed-route service would be demand-responsive
service where routing and scheduling are created daily based upon the individual needs of
riders. The City Council finds that the transit-oriented areas identified on Map 2.951 (2)(e)2.
Property Tax Exemption -Housing Incentives for Housing in Transit-Oriented Areas, are within
one-quarter mile of the streets identified as Key Corridors in Appendix E to the Eugene 2035
Transportation System Plan, the city's adopted and acknowledged local transportation plan, and
that Key Corridors support frequent and reliable transit service. The City Council finds that the
properties identified on Map 2.951 (2)(e)2. Property Tax Exemption -Housing Incentives for
Housing in Transit-Oriented Areas, are located within one-quarter mile of a fixed-route transit
service. Finally, the City Council finds that there is a need and demand for moderate-income
housing located near transit and affordable to households earning 60-120% of the area median
income. The City Council finds that moderate-income housing located near transit is not likely to
be produced without the incentive of a property tax exemption.

(1) The provisions of ORS 307.600 to 307.637 enable the city to grant local property tax
exemptions for multiple-unit housing located in core areas and transit-oriented areas designated
by the city.
(2) The city council has designated the commercial centers shown on the overview map and
map tiles that together comprise Map 2.951 (2)(d)2. Property Tax Exemption -Housing
Incentives for Housing in Commercial Centers, as core areas of the city that are eligible for the
property tax exemption authorized by EC 2.950 through 2.952. There is a need and demand for
housing in commercial centers and that housing is not likely to be produced without the
incentive of the property tax exemption authorized by EC 2.950 through 2.952. The provisions of
ORS 307.600 to 307.637 are hereby adopted as the city's property tax exemption program for

(a) Stimulate the construction of multiple-unit housing in the city's commercial centers
and designated transit-oriented areas to improve the balance between the residential and
commercial nature of those areas, and to ensure full-time use of the areas as places
where members of the community have an opportunity to live as well as work;
(b) Encourage the development of vacant or under-utilized sites in commercial centers
and designated transit-oriented areas, rather than sites where sound or rehabilitable
multiple-unit housing exists;

structures that may include ground-level commercial space;
(d) Encourage the development of multiple-unit housing, with or without parking, on
sites with existing single-story commercial structures;
(e) Encourage the development of multiple-unit housing, with or without parking, on
existing surface parking lots; and
Ordinance -Page 2 of 12
(f) Preserve existing publicly assisted housing that is affordable to low-income persons
by providing the incentives authorized in ORS 307.600 to 307.637 to existing multiple-unit

administrative rules, or
(c) The applicant, developer, or owner of the project has failed to comply with any
conditions imposed in the resolution approving the application and the city manager has
not determined in writing that project design deviations provide the same or greater degree
of adherence to the design principles that council approved for the project, or
(d) Construction of multiple-unit housing was not completed on or before January 1,
2032,or
(e) In the event units within the development are sold individually, a unit owner fails to

subsection (3).
(4) If the owner fails to appear and show cause why the exemption should not be terminated,
the city shall further notify every known lender of the owner's failure to appear and shall allow

January 1, 2032, upon receipt of a request from the property owner, the council may, by
resolution, extend the deadline for completion of construction of multiple-unit housing for a
period not to exceed 12 consecutive months, if it finds the failure to complete construction by
the time specified in the resolution was due to circumstances beyond the control of the owner,
and that the owner had been and could reasonably be expected to act in good faith and with
due diligence.
(8) In any event, no property may be granted more than one of the exemptions authorized by
EC 2.945 through 2.952 and no multiple-unit housing granted an exemption by the council may
be exempt from ad valorem taxation for more than 10 successive years. The first year of
exemption is the assessment year beginning January 1 immediately following the calendar year
Ordinance -Page 1 O of 12
in which construction, addition or conversion is completed, determined by that stage in the
construction process when, pursuant to ORS 307.330 the improvement would have gone on the

improvements located thereon that are not a part of the multiple-unit housing but may include
commercial use of a portion of the structure and parking constructed as part of the multiple-unit
housing construction, addition or conversion, and is in addition to any other exemption provided
by law. However, no property may be exempt beyond 100 percent of its real market value.
(9) Any exemption granted by the council shall terminate immediately, without right of notice
or appeal, in the event the county assessor determines that a change of use to other than
residential or residential with commercial uses of a portion of the structure, or housing has

county assessor or tax collector for approval in connection therewith. Termination shall be in
accordance with the provisions of ORS 307.627.
(10) Notwithstanding subsections (1) through (7) of this section, if applicant, developer or other
owner of the project has failed to comply with the requirements of ORS 307.600 through
307.637, sections 2.950 through 2.952 of this code or the administrative rules adopted
thereunder, or a resolution adopted pursuant subsection (5)(d) of section 2.950 of this code, in
lieu of subsections (1) through (7) of this section, the city manager may impose penalties as set
forth in section 2.1995 of this code. Each day in which a violation is caused or permitted to exist
constitutes a separate violation. Failure to pay an administrative penalty authorized by this
subsection shall be grounds for terminating the exemption under subsections (1) through (3) of
this section.
