I would like to build an SDU on my R1 property. Please reduce the many code restrictions and SDCs making this difficult.

We need more housing options in Eugene. I believe in higher density to lower carb. output and allow walkable communities.

As our loved ones grow older and the cost of health care rises, building a Secondary Dwelling maybe the only way we can afford to provide care for them. Eugene City Council should do everything it can to provide residents the means to care for there family member.

We live on a large lot in the unincorporated River Road area and would like to be able to have a detached living space for our extended family. Annexing into the City is not presently an option.

Our choices are between density and sprawl. Oregon has wisely chosen density and now it’s Eugene’s chance to confirm its commitment.

Pressure on housing is getting worse. We want our city to thrive and be a safe, affordable place to live and work. It is time to take this important step.

I inherited a home in the Cal Young neighborhood with a large back yard. I work two jobs and still struggle to pay my mortgage. I would love to have a SDU to help me out and help someone else to live in a safe, quiet neighborhood. I hope these restrictions can be lifted soon. Thank you!

I am very interested in building a small home behind my daughters house. Lifting these restrictions would allow me to do that Thank you.

There are so many positive benefits to permitting more home owners to build a second small residence - from financial to building community.

We're I able to build a small cottage in my capacious back yard I would live there and could have a family live in my larger house. I'm drowning in a home I can't afford to live in because I can't find an even remotely decent rental.

Affordable housing does not mean we're only looking for housing those with very low income or the homeless can access. Affordable housing is housing that allows all residents, including retirees who want to stay in their community but need to downsize. It includes housing for young couples starting out, and our firefighters and teachers. The Cottage Code allows us to move in the right direction in creating affordable housing, particularly near the city center where residents can walk to shopping and entertainment. Thank you for your consideration in expanding codes to allow for much needed housing options.

This is such an important improvement for affordable housing, families and seniors (in-law apartments), and neighborhoods. Eugene is missing a whole sector of housing options that make quality of life here less than in could be.

Shelter is even more important than much needed housing.
