Journal#81 1-1 7-00005 7-TYPO. ORDINANCE NO. I —AN ORDINANCE MAKING I I' EASIER TO ADD AN ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT BY AMENDING THE SPRINGFIELD DEVELOPMENT CODE SEC TIONS 3 2-210. 3.2-215, 3 3-235, 3 3-915, AND 33-940 TO ALLOW ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS IN THE MDR AND HDR ZONING DISTRICTS AS WELL AS THE City of Springfield Council Regular Meeting Minutes December 4,2017 Paee 3 HISTORIC OVERLAY DISTRICT, AMENDING PROVISIONS FOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS IN SECTION 5 5-105 THROUGH 5.5-145: AMENDING DEFINITIONS IN SECTION 6 1-110; ADOPTING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE: AND PROVIDING AN EFFEC FIVE DATE (FIRST READING). Comprehensiv e Planning Manager Sandy Belson presented the staff report on this item. tonight, Council will be holding a public hearing on Accessory Dwelling Units(ADUs) She described what is meant by an Accessory Dwelling Unit. The City Council has been developing an affordable housing strategy with the goal of increasing the supply and accessibility of housing in Springfield throughout the housing continuum One of the strategies is to encourage the construction of accessory dwelling units. Some steps that have already been taken to encourage ADI.Is are the waiver of s}stem development charges I SDCs) for ADUs on a temporary basis and promoting awareness about the possibilities for ADUs. Another way to encourage accessory dwelling units is by revising the development code to make it easier and potentially less expensive to add an accessory dwelling unit That is what tonight's public hearing addresses. Ms. Belson said as the Council considers the code amendments and listens to the testimony,there is a balance they are looking to encourage development of ADUs w ithin the City by reducing regulatory hurdles, while at the same time protecting the character of existing neighborhoods within the City. She reviewed the approval criteria Springfield Development Code Section 5 6-115 lists the approval criteria for an amendment to the code A In reaching a decision on the adoption or amendment of refinement plans and this Code's text, the City Council shall adopt findings that demonstrate conformance to the following I The Metro Plan, 2. Applicable State statutes; and 3. Applicable State-wide Planning Goals and Administrative Rules. Ms. Belson said within the Metro Plan, there are policies about citizen involvement. Staff has a citizen involvement plan they hay e been follow ing for this project, and legal notice was published in the Register Guard as required on Nov ember 22. Within the Metro Plan, there are policies relevant within the residential land use and housing element regarding density, housing type and tenure,and affordable, special need and fair housing The Springfield 2030 Comprehensive Plan has policies that are applicable to the Council's decision. These criteria have to do with planning for growth and needed housing, fostering housing choice and affordability,encouraging housing diversity, and quality neighborhoods. '1 here is also a policy from the 2035 Springfield Transportation System Plan regarding parking. That policy is to manage the on-street parking system to provide adequate capacity and turnover for surrounding land uses Stale statutes that would be applicable include a new bill that requires all cities with a population of ON er 15,000 to allow ADUs in areas that are zoned for detached, single-family dwellings.Those ADUs can be subject to reasonable local regulations relating to siting and design Because of this statute,they added allowing ADUs in high density zone in addition to low- density and medium-density. That same bill also had language requiring clear and objective standards for housing development This bill made all allowable housing in Springfield considered needed housing, so all housing must have clear and objective standards. That affected some of the definitions and design requirements the City can hay e. City of Springfield Council Regular Meeting Minutes December 4,2017 Page 4 Ms. Belson reviewed the Code Amendments as recommended by the Planning Commission • Expanding areas that N%ould allow ADUs to include medium and high density residential zones • Allow ADUs in the Washburn Historic District. Staff asked the Historic Commission if they supported that change and they did. The recommendation includes allowing ADUs within the Washburne Historic District as a Type II procedure with certain standards, such as historic standards • Remov mg the minimum size requirement of 300 square feet. This would mean the practical minimum would be regulated by building codes Rulemaking for HB2737.the small homes code, is in process with rules released in early 2018 As Council had requested. staff is looking at the follow ing • Removing the ratio requirement(currently an ADU cannot exceed d0%of the size of the primary dwelling), while maintaining the maximum size of 750 square feet. • Changing the code to allow an existing small dwelling to become and ADU(if it's less than 750 square feet)and build a primary dwelling. • Allowing more flexibility in the location of the entry of the ADU 1 he amendments include waiving the on-site parking requirement for an ADU if there is on-street parking on both sides of the street(and no adopted plans to remove on-street parking),and the on- street parking abuts the property and is paved. [his would require a Type II procedure w ith parking a utilization study Amendments allow an unpaved parking space on-site if there is a paved driveway that serves the parking space for the ADD, removes the requirement for the property owner to live on site(although the Historic Commission recommends requiring the property owner lis eon site—she explained),allowing manufactured homes(Type 2)and approved towable structures as an ADU as long as they are permitted, inspected,and approved by the local authority(manufactured homes are not allowed in the Historic District), and allow more options for meeting design standards(match existing house; if ADU detached, meet clear standards: and if it doesn't match or meet standards and is detached,would he a Type II procedure to determine compliance) Ms Belson reviewed citizen comments May or Lundberg opened the public, hearing. I Carrol Crawford, Eugene, OR Ms Crawford said she had been involved in the tiny house movement for some time. She is the founder of the Tiny House/Tiny Villages meet-up group, and represents over 600 people this is a very w ise way to soke some of the serious housing shortage problems. She also represents an active group called YIMBYs(yes in my hacks ard). There are many people who would love to have a small house in their backyard for y arious reasons. She is concerned about the elders and their future and the choices they will have to make if these choices are not made now. Living affordable, small and sustainable is highly recommended She appreciates the term towable and movable because circumstances may require a tiny home to be mos ed. She asked Council to consider passing this and felt it was an easy way to solve housing shortages. It is also smart to downsize and be sustainable. 2. Rick Satre, Springfield, OR. Mr. Satre said he was speaking as an individual and long-time Springfield resident. He spoke in support of the proposed code amendment. Land supply in Oregon is severely constrained, in particular regarding housing. In many places, housing demand is outstripping the available supply of land This constraint is adding to the upward Cin of Springfield Council Regular Meeting Minutes December 4,21117 Pace 5 trajectory of housing costs. Housing is expensive. 30% is a widely used and accepted benchmark regarding housing affordability, and in Springfield (as in many communities) many renters and homeowners are struggling with affordability as their housing costs far exceed that percentage. This proposed code amendment does something about both of those things 1) it increases land utilization,and 2)helps w ith affordability making small home available. This code amendment supports community by creating more options and opportunities for indihiduals and families to live in Springfield affordably and comfortably. Design matters and ADUs need to fit into the fabric of a neighborhood and this proposed code amendment addresses that concern. This proposal adds flexibility with respect to ADIJ's size, primary entrance, ownership, and parking,yet there are still development standards This proposal specifically sites Ty pe II manufactured homes and towable structures that if otherwise permitted would be permitted as an ADU in Springfield Flexibility, affordability, design, and community matters and this proposed code amendments hits all of those. 3 Breanna Nicaello, Eugene, OR Ms Nicaello said she speaks on behalf of herself as someone deeply invested in land use issues, both personally as a renter, and professionally'as a planner in the private sector She is in favor of these code amendments and is so proud to see Springfield leading the way on affordable housing. The code amendments are some of the most progressive in Oregon. Considering our housing crisis,these proposed amendments have the potential to make a tremendous impact on both the economic mobility of Springfield homeowners and the lack of housing supply in Springfield. ADUs tackle this pervasive issue by adding infill to single family neighborhoods in a way that integrates into the existing neighborhood while still increasing density Moreover, homeowners are able to increase the impact of their home investment by adding an additional property for rent, los ed ones to stay, or young professionals trying to make it in the community She urged the Council to accept the code amendments, although she noted there were some sections that may warrant further review'on their part. She agrees with the staff recommendation to delete the provision regarding interior entrances in the clear and objective design standards.This pros ision is unclear and is already'addressed thoroughly through the existing building code. She asked for them to not add a provision requiring home ownership w ithin the Washbume Historic District. The code amendments propose excellent standards for this area that will result in high quality and compatible development near downtown Springfield. This criterion,while well intentioned, may create barriers for homeowners to take full advantage of their property. Moreover,this criterion is an example of how we try to solve issues best left to code enforcement and inspection through land use. Finally, she asked the Council to revisit the parking standards proposed in the code amendments. Regardless of whether the space is on- street or off-street,requiring it to be paved can be a burden for homeowners. Pay ing can cost thousands of dollars, and should not he a deterrent to building a dwelling unit. While the code amendments do have some flexibility, requiring the building to meet the on-street parking standard may be a bit extraneous. While it's understandable to ensure on-street parking is available,she requested that be extended to just one side of the street. She thanked the Council for their consideration. 4. Bruce Berg, Springfield.OR Mr. Berg said he lives in the Washbume Historic District and is on the Historic Commission as well He is speaking on his own behalf When he MON ed to the Washbume Historic District,there was no historic district. Most of the properties in the district were rentals and the area was falling apart rhe reason the Washbume Neighborhood Association was formed was to provide implements of standards to increase home ownership and emproye the homes,creating more of a sense of a neighborhood The Historic Commission strongly asks the Council to require one of the two units be homeowner occupied. Homeowners are going to he more ins olved in the Neighborhood Association, and Cm of Springfield Council Regular Meeting Minute. December 4,71117 Page 6 retain the feeling of a neighborhood He appreciates renters, but feels they dont have the same level of im estment in the neighborhood as homeowners. To retain the integrity of the Washbume Neighborhood Association, and the Washbume neighbors, it's important one of the two dwellings is occupied by the homeowner. He asked what the recommendation was for the minimum size Mr. Grimaldi said there wasn't a specific minimum size recommended. It was noted the building code would dictate the size. S. James Yarnall, Springfield, OR Mr Yarnall said he supports the concept of making it easier En-ADUs to exist He was not clear on whether or not the property owner could build their own ADU or if it had to he contracted If someone is capable of meeting building codes,he feels a homeowner or property owner should be allowed to construct their ADU to reduce the overall cost. lie saw information that said each small dwelling had to have its own private sewer. He felt that was excessive as the existing sewer line from the house would be adequate He suggested they allow a connection to the existing sewer. Electricity should be separate from the main house. 6 David Wade, Eugene.OR. Mr Wade said he is a housing consultant with a focus on smaller homes, and is here to share some information and commend the City for the progressive steps they are taking as they look at amending their code He agrees that they are enroute to having some of the most progressn e codes in the state. He helped Square One Villages affordable housing non-profit do a workshop called"Backyard Housing 101" in October and they had close to 100 attendees come to learn how to build ADUs on their properties. It was a lot of fun to see the interest in this type of housing He did warn against having a property ownership requirement. Cole Peterson.one of the founding members of Accessory Dwellings.org in Portland said they found that to be the number one barrier to folks building an ADU. The issue arises when a homeowner considers the prospects of moving to another property. If they don't have an ADU and they moy e from the property, they have the option of renting out their property. If they have an ADLI,they no longer have that option He thanked the Council for their consideration. 7. Kris McAlister, Springfield, OR Mr. McAlister said he is here as a member of the Springfield Shelter Rights Alliance(SSRA)and also as an active member of the Poverty and 1 lomelessness Board. Ile feels the ADUs help with their strategic plan in regards to helping address housing, not Just affordable housing.but low-income housing. With the sues and spaces allowed through these changes, it allows some of our indigent population and those In ing on fixed incomes to stay in the community The proposed changes to the code meet those guiding principles behind that goal. He is honored to see this work and hopes the Council continues to look at options to expand all of Springfield. His comments aren't directed to the Washhurne District since he does not own property there,and those he works with can't afford to liy e there. In terms of Springfield as a whole, he feels this would be able to be a supportive network to the strategic plan as well as being an example to the State. 8. Michael Carrigan, Springfield, OR Mr. Carrigan said he is here as the staff support for the Springfield Shelter Rights Alliance(SSRA). He thanked Sandy Belson and the other planning staff for their cutting edge, wonderful ongoing work to create more affordable shelter and housing in the City of Springfield Affordable housing is in short supply in Springfield and Eugene as rising rents and home prices tighten the housing market. He supports the proposed amendments to the code that aims for the construction of smaller, more affordable housing across the City. His daughter is a student at Lane Community College 1 LCC) and she and her City of Springfield Council Regular Meeting Minutes December 4,2017 Page 7 friends are having a v ery challenging time finding affordable places to live. She currently lives in an ADD on their property which prov ides her a safe and affordable place to live. Other young people deserve to have the same opportunity The article in the Register Guard mentioned that ADUs are rare in Springfield, so they applaud that the City took the first step to encourage them in July by waiving system dev elopment charges (SDCs). More needs to be done and he supports the additional code changes. Ile is also involved in a group called Square One Village which has created Emerald Village in west Eugene IIc would love to have the architects involved in that project get involved in the ADLIs in Springfield. He asked the Council to support the code changes to make Springfield a better and more exciting place to live. 9. Sue Miller, Eugene, OR Ms. Miller said Bob Wright was with her as a resource since he designed the ADL I she will be discussing. Her law office was in Springfield for many years. She shared her experience of building two small houses—one in 1981 and one in 2017 Both w ere disability accessible There are a couple of issues she wanted to address The first was owner occupancy She In es in the main house and rents the ADU to a couple. She likes to he an owner living there and feels the tenants get better quality maintenance It is also advantageous to her. She appreciates the need for flexibility and suggested requiring an immediate family member live on the property, rather than the owner Another option is to have it owner-occupied for five y ears or some set time so it is established as a well maintained property She is not quite sure she understands the size and feels they should not consider anything under 800 square feet Her experience is that it gives a couple or single parent enough room for a stable household. Mayor Lundberg asked Ms. Miller to prov ide her points in an email to the Mayor and Council. 10 Chelsea Jennings, Springfield.OR, Ms. Jennings said she supports the proposed changes to the Springfield Development Code regarding ADUs She and her partner currently live with her mother in the home where she grew up. They plan to purchase the home and build an ADU in the backyard for her mother They have been working hard on this goal for a few years ago,but have been faced with challenges,mostly financial Many of the proposed changes regarding ADUs that the Council is considering will help them achieve their goal The proposed changes that would have a direct and positive impact on their situation would include removing the minimum size requirement of 300 feet,allowing more flexibility in the location of the ADU,and waiving the on-site parking requirement if there is on-street parking ax actable. All of these changes would allow them to build an ADU sooner than they originally expected Lane County is facing a housing crisis that will only continue unless more proactive changes are made. As a young person trying to pay off student loans which prevent her from purchasing a home with ease and in a reasonable amount of time, she speaks for many people like herself that are looking for any opportunities to be homeowners and better their lives. In addition, as her mother begins to age and her mobility begins to decline. she would like to be able to prepare not only for her future,but for hers. Building an ADU on the property that she can safely and affordably reside in close to her family, w ill lift a huge weight off she and her mother In addition, when she and her partner are ready to start a family, their children's grandmother w ill be right there. She thanked the Council for taking affordable housing options seriously and taking the necessary steps to create more opportunities for the residents of Springfield to stay close to their families, live comfortably and atTordably. and better their lives. She urged the Council to adopt all proposed changes to the Development Code regarding ADUs Mayor Lundberg closed the public hearing City of Springfield Council Regular Meeting Minutes December d,2017 Page 8 Cit} Attorney Mary Bridget Smith said the Council could close the record tonight.or leap e the record open if the) thought there might be additional public input Depending on changes that Council would like to make,the} ma'. need to schedule another first reading. Councilor Moore asked about the requirement of par ing up to 18 feet and water runoff. She asked how difficult it would be to change that requirement. Ms Belson said it is up to Council to set the standard. Staff would recommend keeping a pay ing requirement for the reasons stated in the staff report such as tripping hazards and protecting the public investment of the sidewalk and street. Ms Smith said Council could deliberate and discuss certain issues tonight and when this is brought back to the Council, they could have further discussion If they get all questions answered tonight, the} could choose to nuir e forward at the next meeting without further discussion. Councilor Moore said she understands the concern about gravel, but there are some materials that are not concrete or asphalt that could achiex e the same thing as pax ing Councilor VanGordon said he had similar questions around parking and paving He asked whs 18 feet was chosen rather than a lesser number Ms Belson said 18 feet is the standard length of a parking space so the idea is that most people are going to have the 18 feet paved to meet the requirements of the primary dwelling unit She would need to confirm with other staff whether or not 9 feet would be sufficient. Councilor VanGordon said to keep the cost options down, he would like to explore a smaller number of feet He asked for clarification on the on-street parking and how that affects parking on the property Ms. Belson said if there is parking on both sides of the street, and there is parking abutting the property, no on-site parking is needed. If the person lived on a panhandle lot or cul-de-sac, and there is no parking abutting the property, on-site parking would be required according to the current language. Councilor VanGordon asked what minimum size of house w ill come out of the changes from the State Building Code. Ms. Belson said based on her recollection, about 180 square feet would be an effective minimum size to meet building codes for kitchen, bathroom, Ii'.ing and sleeping areas. Councilor VanGordon said if someone brought in a 75 square foot plan, it would not likely pass building code Ms.Belson said it was not likely. Councilor VanGordon said it is important to continue this conversation as we move forward He appreciated hearing all of the public testimony. We are going to have a housing crisis, and more homes are what will fix that issue. This is an opportunity to help get more homes. He is supportive of the changes knowing that they may need to come back after having this in practice for a while. He is not supportive of adding the homeownership requirement for the Washbume Historic District. He understands the concern, but feels we need to respond to the marketplace in order to add more homes. City of Springfield Council Regular Meeting Minutes December 4, 2017 Page This may be one of the things they revisit at a later date. He would like to see more information on the ditTerence between has ing parking on one-side of the street compared to both sides Councilor Woodrow said she would like to Zeas e the record open in order to see the written testimony that is yet to come forward Regarding home ownership occupancy. she likes the idea of has ing a family member reside in one of the homes in the Washburne District. She appreciates the comments on Washhume—it is a unique area She appreciates the 18 foot paved area,but wondered if they could explore the possibility of having it part of a phase 2 of an ADU, stipulating that w ithin 2 }ears (or some other time frame).they must have the paved area Councilor Stoehr said they can all agree we need more affordable housing in Springfield. This is a way to challenge the public to start building ADIJs. The SDCs have been waived. and this could be another way to encourage building of ADUs. He suggested looking into some sort of designated superintendent on the property where an ADU is built in the W ashbume Historic District to oversee the tenants. Councilor Moore said she was in the meeting where the Washbume Historic District pros inions were discussed, so she understands their concerns. She is also aware there are stricter standards they need to meet to match any additional housing She would like to leave the record open to receive additional input about that from others in that neighboihood Councilor VanGordon said they could leas e the record open and have another work session before final deliberation to go over the parking and homeownership issue Mayor Lundberg said she would also like to look at the size issue with some examples of the variety of sizes. When they first started discussing ADI Is. it was a way to address the housing shortage and how to use our land most efficiently She would los e to see a house built out of advanced wood products, which is supposed to be very energy efficient. That would be another way to promote advanced wood products. Council would like to leas e the record open,and hold another work session before deliberations Ms. Smith said the Council is currently scheduled for a second reading on January 16. They can look for a work session prior to that meeting IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCILOR VANGORDON WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR WOODROW TO KEEP THE RECORD OPEN UNTIL DECEMBER 18,2017.THE MOTION PASSED WITH A VOTE OF 5 FOR AND 0 AGAINST(1 ABSENT—PISHIONERI).
