PART I - HOUSING MITIGATION IN-LIEU FEE NEXUS STUDY UPDATE
Overview and "Kick-off' Meeting
The following scope describes the major analysis tasks for the preparation of a revised nexus
analysis report to meet the requirements of AB 1600 and additional tasks to assist policy
makers in updating and possibly expanding the nexus program in Cupertino.
The scope has been structured to analyze a range of options, with the understanding that staff
and policy makers may wish to reduce the options before determining the final program.
Specifically, the following assumptions will be addressed in the analysis:
· Building types or land uses subject to a nexus fee
. Office/High Tech/R&D
. Retail/Entertainment
. Hotel/Lodging
· Income Levels
. Very low income (under 50% median)
. Low income (50% to 80% median)
. Median income (80% to 100% median)
. Moderate income (100% to 120% median)
· Housing Products (for determining affordability gaps)
. Rental apartments for very low and low income categories
. Condominium units for median and/or moderate income category
The scope follows the outline and content of the report
At the "kick-off' work session with staff, we will go over these assumptions on scope and make
any adjustments and refinements. Additionally, we will provide you, in advance, a list of data
and input needs that we can go over and discuss.
99900\900b-314.doc
Task A - The Housing Nexus Concept and Housing Programs in Cupertino
The first section of the Economic Nexus Analysis report will be a narrative laying out the nexus
concept and its application to commercial construction in Cupertino. The major subsections
cover:
1. The Legal Basis and Context and the Nexus Concept - Issues, fundamental
assumptions and major variables at the local level. What is counted and not counted in
the analysis.
2. The Cupertino Affordable Housing Context - A summary of other Cupertino housing
initiatives and policies, and how a nexus fee relates to the affordable housing program
overall, based on materials provided by the City. (This subtask is optional for update
purposes and has been excluded from the budget.)
Task B - Micro Economic Analysis of the Jobs Housing Nexus
This section produces the numerical nexus analysis that meets the requirements of AB 1600
to demonstrate the quantitative relationships between the construction of the building types
under study and the mitigation required (building affordable units or paying the in-lieu fee.)
KMA has developed a proprietary computerized model to perform the analysis in a highly
efficient manner. Data is drawn from on-line governmental sources that provide cross
matrices of occupations into building types, and local, recent compensation data from the state
Employment Development Department.
For ease of analysis and understanding, we conduct the analysis on prototype buildings of,
say, 100,000 square feet. At the conclusion of the analysis, the findings are divided by the
building size to express the linkage in fractions of housing units.
The analysis will contain the following steps or subtasks (not necessarily in order):
1. Category or Building Type Definition - Working with staff at the first meeting, it will be
useful to discuss the types of projects to be subject to the fee program.
2. Translation to Number of Employees - The findings on employment density and trends
from the macro analysis will be utilized in this section estimate the number of
employees associated with the prototype building.
3. Adjustment for Commuting to Outside the City - Based on the findings of the macro
analysis, the share of employees likely to seek housing outside of the City will be an
analysis adjustment. Since the propensity to commute is already influenced by the
inadequate supply of affordable housing in Cupertino, existing commuting percentages
could warrant some further adjustment.
99900\900b-314.doc
4. Adjustments for Workers Per Household and Changes in Labor Force Participation -
Using U.S. Census and other government data sources, the number of employees will
be adjusted to the number of households. We will also adjust for changes in labor
force participation.
5. Allocation of Employee Households to Income Categories - The nexus model than
takes the employees into an allocation by occupation and from occupation to income
level using local wage and salary inputs, to household income.
6. Conclusions on the Number of Households at Each Income Category - The
conclusions are first expressed for the total prototype building and then converted to
the per square foot level. The analysis produces findings on the number of housing
units for each income classification.
Task C - Affordability Gap and Justified Fee levels
This task has some overlap with tasks in the BMR Update Program although for nexus
purposes, we would be using only one selected housing prototype for rental units and one for
ownership units. We would work with City staff on selecting appropriate prototypes and
affordability gap figures.
This task provides the dollar link between the nexus findings (end of Task C) and the cost of
mitigation.
The major subtasks of the analysis are:
1. Summarize the affordable rents and ownership unit prices for the various affordability
level (BMR update work).
2. Update the cost of developing apartment and townhouse/condominium products, on
average in Cupertino.
3. Determine the average affordability gap for each income affordability classification. For
sale units will be linked to median and/or moderate income and rental units to the lower
income classifications.
4. The affordability gap for each income level is applied to the number of units per square
foot of building area. The result is total nexus cost, or the highest fee level supported
by the analysis. The fee that the City elects to charge may be any amount lower than
the dollar nexus.
99900\900b-314.doc
Task D - Tasks to Assist in Identifying a Fee Program for Cupertino
The tasks in this section are offered to provide guidance to policy makers in Cupertino in
updating the fee program. This task group particularly addresses the question of a fee on
retail and hotel type projects. This task also addresses raising the fee on office/high tech.
1. Fee Impact Analysis - This task is an assessment of the economic impact of a nexus
fee (or alternative fee levels) on construction activity. One approach is to examine fee
levels against total development costs and land costs.
The subtasks of the impact assessment are:
a. Evaluate overall market conditions for the three building types, particularly focusing
on retail. Inspect existing retail concentrations and assess the competitive
environment in Cupertino and vis-a-vis neighboring cities. Discuss issues and
perceptions with City staff.
b. Summarize development costs for office and high tech building types and assemble
information for retail/entertainment and hotel/lodging projects. Total development
costs include construction, tenant improvements, indirect costs and land. Other
significant fees, such as traffic mitigation fees, will be summarized.
c. Evaluate alternative fee levels against total development costs. Test the
relationship of fees at different levels against the total costs. Evaluate potential fee
levels in the context of other impact fees in Cupertino.
d. Identify the required adjustment in rental income to recapture the fee cost
(recognizing that rental increases may not be possible); or adjustment in land value
to compensate for the fee, or other measure.
2. Review housing nexus fees in other jurisdictions, particularly those in the other Silicon
Valley cities and where similar market conditions are present.
3. Advise the City with respect to other fee program issues such as minimum size
thresholds for fee application, exempted uses, exempted areas (such as
redevelopment areas), timing of collection of fees, etc. to meet objectives and concerns
about specific type projects.
4. Recommend an appropriate fee range for each of the three building types.
Task E - Report Preparation
A work session with staff is suggested following the completion of the analysis. Table sets
summarizing the analysis will be presented to staff and other groups as requested. Once the
99900\900b-314.doc
tables, analyses, and presefltation recommendations are agreed upon, we will prepare the
report document. The nexus report will be presented in a manner to meet the needs of AB
1600 and relevant sections of the Government Code 66000 et. seq.
Task F - Focus Group Meeting
Per the RFP, we would be pleased to host a focus group meeting with affected developers and
other industry representatives. For new programs we regularly recommend such meetings to
explain the program and concept and solicit input on local market issues that the fee program
design might take into consideration. Since several Silicon Valley cities have commercial fees,
it will be of interest to ascertain the extent to which development decisions are in any way
affected by these fees vis-a-vis other factors.
PART II - BMR UPDATE PROGRAM
Task A - Affordability levels and BMR Pricing
In this task we will review your current formulas and practices in establishing BMR rent levels
and for sale unit pricing. We will evaluate your formulas in comparison to our own
independent calculations of affordable rents and units for various income levels and size
households matched to units, done a manner widely used elsewhere. We will evaluate issues
of consistency and impacts to various affected parties.
Task B - Survey of BMR Rental Rates and Pricing
Per the request, we will obtain information on how other jurisdictions in the Silicon Valley area
establish BMR rent levels and sales prices for comparable affordability levels and
household/unit sizes. We will seek to obtain code language and other documentation as well
as deed restriction differences on a generalized level. (See Task F for a more in depth
investigation of this subject.) To the extent that BMR pricing does differ from one city to
another, we will advise Cupertino on impacts and recommend changes, if appropriate.
Task C - Focus Group Meeting
We would be pleased to host focus group meeting(s) with interested developers to discuss
pricing formulas and practices. The topic of this meeting could be broadened to cover other
aspects of the existing BMR program and how it might be modified as part of this update
process. We should be clear that the basic program requirements are not subject to
reevaluation but that minor provisions and practices could be adjusted as part of the update
process and legislative package. We have in mind various "offsets" or "incentives" that the
City mayor could offer, fractional unit practices and other like details.
Task 0 - RecommendationslTechnical Memorandum
99900\900b-314.doc
We believe the analysis, findings and recommendations of Tasks A, B, and C of the update
program will be suitable material for a technical memorandum. The memorandum will
recommend, if appropriate, adjustments to the current BMR rental rate and sale price
formulas, with new schedules or rental rates and sales prices by affordability level and
household/unit size. We will initially present our findings and recommendations to staff and
following any staff input, draft the final memorandum. The memorandum will be suitable for
attachment to the staff report going to commissions and Council. Electronic versions of
formula and schedules will be transmitted. (Alternatively, we could produce a more formal
report which would cost a little more)
Task E - Deed Restrictions Review
KMA has worked on developing improved deed restrictions in a number of communities,
primarily to improve buyer financing. There has been movement on the part of lending
institutions regarding the priority position of affordability covenants vis-a-vis the lender's first
deed of trust. KMA will review the current deed restrictions and will collaborate with the City's
legal counsel regarding alternative strategies for replacing current deed restrictions as relates
to new projects, and possibly negotiating revisions in the restrictions with existing BMR unit
owners.
Product: Technical memorandum on the financing issue. The format of the final
documentation will be determined in collaboration with City staff.
Task F -In-Lieu Formula Revisions
As part of this BMR update program, the City may wish to reexamine in-lieu fees amounts.
The reexamination could be limited to an update to reflect the spread between current
development costs/market values of new rental and ownership units and affordable units. If
BMR rent levels and unit prices are adjusted (as a result of the reevaluation of BMR pricing
and rent setting per BMR Task A), then recalculation of the in-lieu amount might be
appropriate in any case.
This task would require a survey of recent residential construction to ascertain market pricing
by unit size, type of unit and possibly geographic area within the City. For rental projects, we
would survey recently constructed rental properties and ascertain market rent levels by unit
size. To convert rental income to unit value for purposes of the affordability gap and in-lieu
amounts, we would research current operating expense experience as well.
An expanded version of this task could include reexamination of the application of in-lieu fees
to smaller projects, including single detached units, and other variations that would enhance
fee revenue potential.
Product: Technical Memorandum which summarizes the research and analysis.
99900\900b-314.doc
PART III - MEETINGS AND PRESENTATIONS
A Keyser Marston Associates Principal will participate in each of two focus meetings to be held
with developers and other stakeholders. It is anticipated that one meeting will be with
residential developers, property owners, and stakeholders and one meeting with commercial
developers, etc. The City will host the meetings and be responsible for inviting appropriate
attendees.
A Keyser Marston Associates Principal will attend up to six public meetings, which could be
the Housing Commission, Planning Commission, City Councilor possibly a joint session of
more than one group. Consultant will be available to make presentations at such meetings.
