From: Patrick(-9c-fawn To: Janice Stem:Wayne Rasrnusseu Cc: Subject: EPSP Task Force Info Date: Thursday,May 30,2013 2:49:01 PM Importance: High Hi Janice and Wayne I have been trying to absorb the various comments at the Planning Commission last week. It seems there are two major decisions the Task Force and ultimately the Council will need to make with respect to housing. The percentage of the projected RHNA numbers that should be planned for in this area and then, given that percentage, what mix of high density housing vs. all housing is appropriate for the area. Of course, taking into account if a plan is financially feasible given the infrastructure and fee requirements. We heard from speakers that the city overall is a 25%/75% ratio (HD/Low Density) and that they would like this replicated in EPSP but that maybe they could live with 35/65. ( I assume they are talking as percentages of units and not acres but it would be good to clarify) Planning Commission was definitely interested in a "balance" although I don't believe a number was voted on. I have done some calculations that I believe will help the Task Force and Could in their decision-making. Taking these two issues I have first looked at the latest Alternatives, Alts 1 to 4 given the unit counts provided. Their ratios are: Alt 1 is 50/50 Alt 2 is 67/33 Alt 3 is 71.5/28.5 Alt 4 is 50/50 I then looked at what would the numbers be if the Council decided they wanted to meet 25%, 30%, 35% or 40% of the RHNA numbers--- I defined this number as the required number of" Very Low/Low + Moderate", assuming the Above Moderate will be met by the other housing (5-16dua). After calculating the required HD RHNA numbers for each scenario, I then calculated the total number of units that would be needed to achieve the 25/75, 35/75 and also 40/60 ratios. Taking these numbers I held the 23 dua and 30 dua fixed at the appropriate percentages (i.e. 25% requires 195 at 23dua and 305 at 30dua) and calculated a mix of 5, 8, 11 and 16 dua acreages to achieve the total number to make the desired ratio. (i.e. at 30% RHNA and 35/65 ratio a total of 1737 homes is needed.) It is very helpful to review the inform this format. For example, at 2000 units 25% of RHNA HD can be provided at 25/75 ratio, or 35% HD at a 35/65 ratio or 40% HD at a 40/60 ratio.
