You might have heard about Eugene's new middle housing code. Middle housing does not mean “Middle Income Housing." It refers to the type of housing between apartment style and single family detached homes. Middle Housing comprises duplex, triplex, fourplex, townhomes and cottage clusters.
Eugene's new middle housing code means that up to 164 or more housing units could potentially be built. The developer will initially develop 37 lots below the 900’ elevation level, with the intention of adding an additional 4 middle housing lots above the 900’ elevation level.
Middle Housing code does not require off street parking. We do not have public transportation in this area; therefore any residents would need their own transportation, with possibly no place to park. If each unit has two cars, there could be as many as 300 or more cars.
This will NOT be middle housing in price, due to the high cost of developing such difficult terrain. The developer will price high to recoup the cost.
