Market and<br />
Investment<br />
Attractiveness<br />
History of real estate investment in PDA<br />
and surrounding city<br />
0.10 0.05 0.00<br />
Cherry Orchard project added ~350 units; City overall has been<br />
averaging 300-400 new units annually over the past 15 years and<br />
PDA would need to average ~150 DU/yr from 2010-2040.<br />
2 Recent Local Development Activity<br />
0.10 0.00 0.00<br />
160-unit townhouse project just approved at ECR/Mathilda (old Ford<br />
site); Sobrato exploring 40+ DU/acre project at ECR/Bernardo (old<br />
Chrysler site)<br />
A-70<br />
3 General Market Conditions<br />
0.00 0.00 0.00<br />
Significant developer interest in denser residential (rental) projects<br />
on larger sites (2+ acres); not much vacancy on ECR; high incomes<br />
in area<br />
4 Financial Feasibility Constraint<br />
5 Parcel size and configuration<br />
0.10 0.05 0.00<br />
0.05 0.05 0.05<br />
Few true vacancies and most properties are producing some<br />
cashflow with low risk; concern about feasibility of mixed-use<br />
commercial component, but may be feasible if 40+ DU/acre;<br />
redevelopment of existing uses poses problem (several auto<br />
dealerships that City doesn't want to lose). Amendment assumes<br />
that upzoning adds value that overcomes financial feasibility<br />
threshold associated with existing uses over next decades.<br />
Many shallower parcels require buffer to SFD neighborhoods and<br />
require assembly for efficiency. Amendment assumes<br />
Redevelopment-type powers can assist with parcel assembly.<br />
6 Existence of major investment<br />
disincentives<br />
No issues: schools are fine, crime not a major issue, strong<br />
community amenities<br />
