UGS Micro Village Housing Information Session - May 27, 2026

The City of Eugene held a public information session on May 27, 2026, focused on proposed land use code changes related to micro village housing and single room occupancies (SROs) as part of the Urban Growth Strategies project. The meeting detailed the city's housing needs over the next 20 years, emphasizing the requirement to increase affordable housing production significantly. The session presented new development standards to legalize micro village housing—small, community-oriented units with shared common spaces—and expanded allowances for SROs, including detached units, to provide more affordable and diverse housing options. The city also discussed related code amendments to reduce barriers for housing and jobs, including permitting daycare and residential care facilities in more zones and extending land use approval expiration dates to support economic development. Attendees were informed about upcoming public hearings and opportunities to provide testimony. The meeting did not include specific contract awards or procurement decisions but outlined policy changes that could influence future affordable housing development and related procurement activities.
