A
PDA Housing
Capacity
Estimate
1 Estimate of current local land use policy
new housing capacity
2,850
City said current PDA has max capacity of 2850 more than existing;
CD+A estimated ~2700 on 107 acres of opportunity sites; City
estimated 912 new DUs in PDA in next 8 years
2 Plan Bay Area new housing allocation
4,412
The increment of new housing allocated to the PDA in Plan Bay
Area
A-64
3 Capacity surplus or (shortfall) (1,562)
4 Estimated increased capacity through
likely changes to land use policy,
including any initiative-based density
restrictions (percentage change to
existing capacity) 0% 20% 40%
Difference between estimated housing capacity (2012) and
allocation
City's "Horizon 2035" Advisory Committee thought PDA could add
4000 units, similar to ABAG allocation. EPS assumes such rezoning
may be pursued within next ~15 years.
5 Estimated gross housing capacity
at each period 2,850 3,420 3,990
6
Sum of Capacity Constraint
Coefficients
0.55 0.30 0.20
Near-term constraints include lower-density zoning than required to
meet PDA allocation, redevelopment of productive uses, and parcel
sizes/configurations as well as slow overall growth in the City.
Zoning changes and strong market may facilitate improvement in
longer term, but physical constraints still present.
7
EPS estimate of housing production
given constraints
1,283 2,394 3,192
Figure exceeds current planned capacity, but still short of allocation.
8
Primary issue is the significant shortfall of capacity compared to
allocation.
Percentage of PDA 2040 housing
allocation accommodated
29.1% 54.3% 72.3%
