On June 16, the Eugene, Oregon City Council will hold a public hearing on a set of twelve land use code amendments that help protect the livability of residential neighborhoods.
Plese support all Eugene neighborhoods by signing this petition.
Ten of these amendments (3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 14) were developed through an 18-month long community process in which hundreds of residents participated, culminating in unanimous endorsement by both the Neighborhood Leaders Council and the Infill Compatibility Standards Task Team. Two of the amendments (5 and 17) were added by City Council to address urgent threats to neighborhood livability.
More information on the amendments is available at: jwneugene.org/micap.
We urge the Eugene City Council to adopt the following proposed code amendments that will help protect the character and livability of Eugene's residential neighborhoods:
3. Residential Density Calculations
4. Building Height Measurement in Residential Zones
5. Building Height Transitions within South University Neighborhood Association
6. Multi-Family Development Open Space Credit for Nearby Parks
7. Required Parking for Multi-Family Developments in West University and South University Neighborhood Associations
8. Storm water Destination: Prioritize On-Site Infiltration and Restrict Fill and Disturbance of Drainage Ways
9. Flag Lots Definition and Development Standards
10. Lot Width/Lot Frontage Standards in Residential Zones
11. Add Definition of Alley Access Only Lot/Parcel and Clarify Prohibition
12. Exclude Area within Private Streets from Residential Lot Areas
14. Provide for Early Neighbor and Neighborhood Input into Development Process
17. Add Definition of Residential Character
These proposed amendments (excepting items 5 and 17, which were added by City Council) have been unanimously endorsed by the Neighborhood Leaders Council (NLC) and the Infill Compatibility Standards Task Team.
We also urge the City Council to incorporate revisions to items 5 and 7 that have been recommended by the affected neighborhoods (West University Neighbors and South University Neighborhood Association).
