the housing units are in high density buildings and presumed to be rentals. This creates a <br /> transient community and one lust the opposite of the rest of the city (where rent;rls are just one <br /> auarter of all housing units)_ This can potentially negatively impact schools, city service needs, <br /> and property values in one area of the city vs. spreading high density rentals across the city. <br /> This reduces burden on any one area and helps integrate our new residents. <br /> G Recommend high density units/rentals (vs. single family units) be no more than 40-50% <br /> of the total housing units planned <br /> • The previous council said they wanted "balance" across the city in terms of meeting RHNA <br /> higher density needs. Options 2 and 3 create imbalance by putting such a large share on the <br /> East side. Recommend the east side not be assigned more than 35%(worst case 50% or 500 <br /> units)of the future RHNA low/moderate income needs (note: options 1 and 4 are 50% today <br /> and come closest to balance) <br /> O In addition, it seems prudent to develop a 20-30 year vision of where else we may want <br /> to see these units (infill, BART, etc.) so we create balance across the city vs. putting so <br /> much burden in this one area just because it is vacant. To just put the units here <br /> because it seems "easy" is not forward thinking. <br /> • I also encourage us to also look at the degree to which we might be able to have some of the <br /> units be targeted at seniors if this is legal and possible. This would minimize impact on schools, <br /> traffic, etc. <br /> Thank you <br /> Nancy Allen <br /> Click here to report this email as spam. <br />
