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 />
