ISSUE STATEMENT
The work session will be an opportunity to discuss the proposal by Capstone Collegiate
Communities (Capstone) to build student housing on the former PeaceHealth clinic site and
consider the public testimony received on April 23 regarding the applications for the right-of-way
vacation and the Multi-Unit Property Tax Exemption (MUPTE).
BACKGROUND
On March 12, the council held a work session to discuss the proposal received from Capstone
regarding the student housing development and the planned public engagement opportunities. On
April 9, the council reviewed the project and the public comments received to-date.
On April 23, the council held public hearings for both the right-of-way vacation and the MUPTE. A
total of 56 people spoke, seven on the right-of-way vacation, and 49 on the MUPTE. A request was
made to hold the record open for the right-of-way vacation. As a result, the record will be held open
until 5 p.m., April 30, followed by a seven-day rebuttal period until 5 p.m., May 7. The applicant is
entitled to a seven-day final argument period until May 14, which they may waive to enable action
at the work session scheduled for May 9.
A request was also made to hold the MUPTE record open. Since this is a fiscal decision, not
subject to the land use hearing and record requirements that the City is applying to the proposed
vacation, there is no formal “closure” of the record; there is no need to declare the record will be
kept open. Public testimony may be accepted and considered until the council chooses to act on this
issue.
Questions and Answers
At the work session on April 9, Mayor Piercy and the City Councilors asked a number of questions
about the Capstone proposal. Attachment K of the agenda item summary (AIS) for the MUPTE
public hearing on April 23, addresses those questions and provides responses based on the
information available at this time.

Community Issues and Current Status
Based on comments at council work sessions, input from the public engagement opportunities and
the public hearing, a number of issues and concerns emerged. Some of those concerns are due to
direct project impacts while others are related to the overall impacts of dense housing in and around
the University and Downtown. Issues concerning onsite management and the dedication of a new
bike path have been included as requirements of the MUPTE approval. City staff and Capstone
continue to work on other emerging issues as the review for this project continues. Below are the
current issues and Capstone’s responses.
1.Issue: Assurance of continued onsite management
Status: Per the project description in the MUPTE resolution, onsite management will be
required during the 10-year period of exemption. This requirement will run with the property
even if the project is sold and Capstone is not retained as the manager.
Continued onsite management is critical for the project after the 10-year exemption period is
over. To address this issue, staff will research and evaluate code provisions or possible
alternative legal requirements that would ensure onsite management for projects meeting a
critical size-threshold. Staff will bring this information to the council for consideration and
action by the end of the calendar year.
2.Issue: Bike Path
Status: Capstone has agreed to create and dedicate a bicycle/pedestrian path connecting with
the existing route along 12th Avenue. This facility is designed specifically to promote
connectivity, create a straighter alignment, and improve the crossing at Willamette and Olive
streets to ensure safe and convenient movement for pedestrians and bicycles. The bike path will
include a 10-foot-wide two-way bicycle facility that is clear of obstructions and separated from
pedestrians, within the new 20-foot right-of-way; a bicycle crossing island at the intersection of
West 12th Avenue and Olive Street that prohibits left turns for automobiles; and a replacement
crosswalk within Willamette Street that aligns the proposed bicycle connection through the site
with the existing bicycle way east of Willamette Street. The bike path and these key features
will be required as a condition of MUPTE approval.
3.Issue: Neighborhood Context
Status: Capstone has had a number of meetings with residents of nearby properties, including
multiple conversations with residents and managers at Olive Plaza in an effort to identify and
address potential issues during construction and after completion. A letter providing
information on the mitigation and assistance Capstone is proposing is Attachment A. In
addition, Capstone agrees to:
A.Coordinate with the Eugene Police Department (EPD). Capstone has agreed to coordinate
closely with the EPD to promote pro-social, courteous, and safe behavior on the part of the
residents.
B.Minimize parking impact. Capstone will make every effort to minimize the impact on the
existing downtown neighborhood in terms of parking by providing adequate on-site parking
for residents and guests.
S:\CMO\2012 Council Agendas\M120425\S120425B.doc
C.Work with Look Me In The Eye. Capstone agrees to work with Look Me In The Eye, a
disability advocacy organization, to identify opportunities to employ their clients as part of
the housing development. Attachment B provides information from Capstone to Look Me In
The Eye.
D.Provide access to unused parking. If the surface and structured parking is not fully utilized,
Capstone agrees to provide parking for Olive Plaza or public use at market pricing.
4.Issue: Support for Alternative Modes of Transportation
Status: The City of Eugene code includes a number of requirements that support alternative
modes of transportation. In addition to meeting code requirements for bike parking, Capstone
has agreed to:
A.Include additional bike parking and secured storage, a shared public car facility (such as
“WeCar”) and an electric vehicle charging station. Capstone will promote these alternative
modes to the residents of the development. Capstone will present the additional bike parking
for City of Eugene staff review.
th
B.Construct a new bus stop on Willamette Street south of 12 Avenue. The new stop will
include a shelter and will be integrated with the new student buildings south of the 12th
Avenue crossing at Willamette Street. This new stop is anticipated to minimize the impact
upon the downtown station which has been an issue with the Olive Plaza residents. The
design of the stop will be coordinated with Lane Transit District and City of Eugene staff.
C.Coordinate with the City’s Bicycle Pedestrian Master Plan Study. Capstone has agreed to
coordinate with the City of Eugene’s Bicycle Pedestrian Master Plan Study regarding paths
to the University of Oregon from downtown, such as by providing data on bike use or
surveying residents.
5.Issue: Design and Construction
Status: Capstone has agreed to:
A.Improve the existing sidewalks surrounding the project. Capstone will expand the
circulation space and new streetscape elements to provide for a more inviting pedestrian
environment. Capstone will also work with City of Eugene staff to see if expansion of the
existing right-of way is desired in this location. In addition, Capstone has agreed to provide
signage to improve enforcement of the prohibition of bikes and skateboards on the sidewalk
near Olive Plaza (Attachment A).
B.Retain as many existing street trees as possible. Capstone will work with the City Arborist to
establish specific tree and root pruning and care instructions to minimize impact to the trees
and retain as many existing trees as possible. In the case an existing tree is required to be
removed, it will be replaced with a like species.
C.Consistent with Capstone policy, the use of qualified local contractors, suppliers and
workers will be encouraged as much as possible.
S:\CMO\2012 Council Agendas\M120425\S120425B.doc

RE: Neighborly Commitments
Dear Diane,
On behalf of Capstone Collegiate Communities we are appreciative of the time spent together
discussing the concerns you and other Olive Plaza residents have for the proposed student
housing project.. We are excited to be a part of the downtown community and neighborhood. As
discussed, we are committed to working with Olive Plaza management now and in the future.
1. Construction Noise:
Capstone’s construction manager will work closely with our general contractor to minimize the
construction period noise impacts on Olive Plaza. Per Eugene’s land use code (Chapter 6,
1
Section 6.750 (d) Construction shall be limited to the hours between 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday
through Saturday with no construction on Federal or State holidays. Capstone will do all that it
can to ensure the construction operations maintain this code policy. As part of the overall
management of the construction site, the sensitivity of Olive Plaza to noise will be put on the
daily monitoring check list to assure the construction management staff is fully aware of the
impact and sensitivity of construction period noise.
2. Operations or Resident Noise:
The design of the buildings internalizes the outdoor gathering spaces to minimize noise. Large
community gatherings within the common court yard areas will be controlled by management
and noise levels will be maintained within reason and not allowed to become a problem to off –
site neighbors.
During the operations of the community, management will provide as part of the student
residents move in package information regarding the existence of Olive Plaza and the sensitivity
this community has to loud noises, privacy, safety and well being of its elderly residents.
As part of the overall management of the community, the sensitivity of Olive Plaza to operations
and resident noise will be put on the daily monitoring check list to assure the management staff
is fully aware of the impact and sensitivity of noise to Olive Plaza.
3. Construction Air Quality:
During the project’s construction, the contractor shall implement the following measures to
reduce visible dust emissions (particulate matter of 10 microns [PM]):
10
Apply soil stabilizers to all unpaved areas.
Clean all paved roads on a regular basis within 50 feet of the site.
Reduce vehicle speed on-site to a maximum of 5 miles per hour
As part of the overall management of the construction site, the sensitivity of Olive Plaza to dust,
smoke and other forms of emissions will be put on the daily monitoring check list to assure the
construction management staff is fully aware of the impact and sensitivity of construction period
air quality to Olive Plaza.
4. Parking Spaces:
In the case onsite parking is deemed sufficient for the student housing operations and excess
parking spaces become available then the owner at their discretion will offer to Olive Plaza on a
first right of refusal basis a select number (minimum five) of the available parking spaces at an
average downtown monthly market price for structured or surface parking. Today, an average
rate as published by Diamond parking is $50 per month for structured and $40 per surface
parking.
5. Preconstruction Communication:
Between now and the start of construction estimated to be June 15, 2012 Steve Master with
Master Capital Management working with John Acken of Capstone will check in with the
manager of Olive Plaza on a bimonthly basis to listen and address issues Olive Plaza residents
may have in regards to the proposed student housing community. John Acken and Ingram
Thornton with Capstone will be responsible to introduce the general contractor’s point of contact
at the point of transition to construction. Management of Olive Plaza can contact John Acken any
time during reasonable business hours at 205-789-7452.
6. Construction Communication:
Between the start of construction to the turn over to the management team a lead person from the
on site general contractor’s team will be in contact with the manager of Olive Plaza on a monthly
basis to assure the communication between the construction and Olive Plaza is maintained. The
general construction team will be responsible for the monitoring of the construction noise and
dust to assure these potential conditions are mitigated and do not pose a negative condition upon
Olive Plaza. The general contractor contact person will provide notifications for any special
work hour requests and or right of way closures per the city requirements to assure minimal
impact to Olive Plaza. The general contractor is to introduce the operations contact at the time of
construction turn over to operations. Olive Plaza management will be provided the number for
the construction period on-site manager whom they can call during reasonable business hours.
7. Operational Communication:
During the operations of the project a lead member of the management team will be in contact
with the Olive Plaza manager on a quarterly basis to assure positive communications. The
communications will focus on known or potential noise or other nuisance issues with the
operations of the student housing community upon Olive Plaza. Olive Plaza management will be
provided the number for the on-site manager whom they can call during reasonable business
hours and after business hours in the case of an after business hours issue.
8. Lane Transit Bus Location:
th
A designated bus stop is to be located just south of the 12 Street bike path to minimize the
impact of the student community residents upon the existing Lane Transit Station and the Olive
Plaza residents who use this location.
9. Access to Sidewalks
The existing side walks surrounding the edges of the site are to be improved to enable additional
area for walking with in these public Rights of Way. A sign will be posted to assist in enforcing
no skate boards or bikes on the side walks along the Olive Plaza property along Olive Street.
Once again, we appreciate your cooperation in working with Capstone Managers and look
forward to our continued conversations and working with you in the future.
Sincerely,
John Vawter Sr.
