The Planning Commission finally heard us and adopted the code amendments to stop the reckless destruction of our neighborhoods. We forced them to prioritize residents over developers and this victory belongs to everyone who refused to back down. Keep your eyes open because we will be watching to ensure they …
We urge the Eugene Planning Commission to recommend City Council approval of 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 Planning Commission to incorporate revisions to items 5 and 7 that may be recommended by the affected neighborhoods (West University Neighbors and South University Neighborhood Association).
The momentum we have built proves the Planning Commission can no longer ignore our demands for livable neighborhoods. They want to bury these common sense protections in red tape but this support shows we are ready to fight back.

Eugene is changing way too fast. Keep our neighborhoods looking like neighborhoods and not just rows of massive apartment boxes.

The parking situation in the university area is a nightmare already. Stop letting developers build without providing enough spots for their own tenants.

About time! Developers have had their way for way too long while the rest of us deal with the runoff and the crowding.
