Property Level Financial Analysis • To determine the redevelopment value, we performed a financial analysis on a fictitious 4 acre parcel of land. • We tested the following development scenarios at a 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 FAR • A rental residential building with retail on the first floor • A for-sale residential building with retail on the first floor • An office building with retail on the first floor • The residual land value is the value of the piece of property after taking into account all development costs plus a reasonable return to the developer
Incentive to Redevelop Where Residual Land Value is Greater Than Existing Land Value Residential Rental
MPDU’s and WFHU’s Alone Add $67.00 per SF of Cost to New Residential Development Cost of Community Benefits
$80 per SF Cost of Public Benefits Removes Incentive to Redevelop Residential Rental
Potential changes to benefits to increase residual land value: • Remove work force housing or revise requirements to be cost neutral • Modify MPDU legislation to decrease burden on land owners • Publicly finance costs to place utilities underground Residential Rental
Potential changes to benefits to increase residual land value: • Remove work force housing or revise requirements to be cost neutral • Modify MPDU legislation to decrease burden on land owners • Publicly finance costs to place utilities underground Condo
Potential changes to benefits to increase residual land value: • Decrease Building Lot Termination costs by 50% • Publicly finance costs to place utilities underground Office
Planning Suggestions • Streamline approval process to be no longer than one year • Alter/remove transfer density concept and increase FAR’s correspondingly. Transfer can exist above this new base FAR. • Mandate that all utilities must be captured in the ROW of public streets. No PUE’s in addition to the ROW width. • Allow private parking to occur below public ROW where possible • Allow for above grade parking structures • Provide density bonuses for excellence in environmentally sensitive design and green building. • Raise the standard method base for the purchase of BLTs from 0.5 FAR to 1.0, decrease the percentage from 12.5% to 10%, and set price per BLT so that the cost is predictable. • Offset mechanism to credit costs of on site improvements against other public improvements
Legislative Suggestions • Cordon Line District Traffic Model to Provide Certainty of Development Rights in Return for Funding Infrastructure Improvements • Eliminate the payment of Transportation Impact Fees for WHU’s • Reduce or eliminate parking requirement for MPDU and WHU’s • Modify/Eliminate requirement for WHU’s within the Sector Plan Area. • Allow for the consolidation of the MPDU’s into buildings that are 20% affordable so land owners can access federal tax credits • Allow for affordable housing to be provided off-site within Sector Plan Area • Dramatically decrease parking requirements for retail • Create a County parking district
