TO: Regional Housing and Infrastructure Plan (HIP) Members FROM: Becky Hewitt and Emmanuel Lopez (ECONorthwest)
SUBJECT: SLOCOG Affordable-by-Design Market Assumptions As part of the Affordable-by-Design project, ECONorthwest is testing financial feasibility of various prototypical multifamily developments across four submarkets in San Luis Obispo (SLO) County. This memo outlines our assumptions regarding the physical characteristics of the prototypes, estimated development costs, and market rents.
Key Market and Financial Assumptions
The four market areas are:
North Coast
North County
South County
Central County
We did not include East County in our analysis because there is little development or development opportunity in that area.
Attachment 3

Development Prototypes
Our analysis focuses on multifamily development that could potentially be affordable to moderate-income households. We used built examples from SLO County and elsewhere to inform the unit size, unit mix, and other physical characteristics of the developments. The prototypes tested are summarized in brief below:
3-story walk-up apartments—standard
Larger units (~880 sf average)
Typical density, parking ratio, and landscaping
3-story walk-up apartments—compact
Smaller units (~620 sf average)
Higher density, lower parking ratio, less landscaping 4-story micro-unit apartments
Very small units (~300 sf, shared kitchens, individual kitchenettes) Very high density, no parking, no landscaping
The table below provides additional detail of the assumptions for each prototype.
Note the estimated construction “hard cost” includes all vertical and horizontal development costs on-site, divided by the total gross square footage (GSF) of the building.

Estimated Market Rents by Market Area
The estimated market rents for each prototype in each market were estimated based on comparable developments (in markets with comparable development) and adjusted to reflect differences between market rents in the different areas. The market rents for our analysis were estimated for 2023 dollars with an estimated 3% annual escalation prior to opening.

ECONorthwest 4
Other Development Costs and Return Expectations by Market Area Impact and permit fees were developed by taking housing element development fee estimates for multifamily and aggregating them at the sub-regional level.
Land costs are estimated based on developer interviews as well as review of land value data for selected example developments and land sales transactions in SLO County. Land values are highly variable, but the assumptions are intended to reflect the rough market cost of unimproved residential land in each area.
Return Metrics by Market Area
The financial feasibility analysis uses a metric called “return on cost” (ROC), which reflects the income potential of the completed development1 divided by the total cost of development. This ratio is often used as an initial indicator of development feasibility for rental developments, as it provides a preliminary indication of whether the completed property will provide competitive financial returns that could attract investors and meet loan underwriting requirements. Because both lenders and investors will expect higher returns for riskier investments, market areas that have stronger demand fundamentals will likely have a lower threshold for ROC to make development viable. The estimated return requirements (Target ROC) for each market area are summarized below.
1 Net Operating Income (NOI), the revenue after accounting for vacancy and operating expenses.

Attachment 3
City Council Agenda July 18, 2023
▪ SLO County market conditions do not support new for-sale housing at prices affordable to moderate-income households, with the possible exception of manufactured housing in parks
▪ A few developments have attempted to produce ABD for-sale housing, but even with very small homes, prices are still too high for the moderate-income target price range.
▪ Factors that make for-sale housing more affordable in other areas may not translate to the SLO County market (lower land cost, no parking, few amenities, micro units)

CFI Program investments will make modern and sustainable infrastructure accessible to all drivers of electric, hydrogen, propane, and natural gas vehicles. This program provides two funding categories of grants: (1) Community Charging and Fueling Grants (Community Program); and (2) Alternative Fuel Corridor Grants (Corridor Program). The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provides $2.5 billion over five years for this program. This first round of funding makes $700 million from Fiscal Years 2022 and 2023 funding available to strategically deploy electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure and other fueling infrastructure projects in urban and rural communities in publicly accessible locations, including downtown areas and local neighborhoods, particularly in underserved and disadvantaged communities.

(CMQA)
Call for projects
Summer 2023
Yes The main goal of the CMAQ program is to fund transportation projects that reduce regulated emissions associated with carbon monoxide, ozone and particulate matter pollution in nonattainment and maintenance areas, often through
congestion mitigation techniques. In addition to reducing regulated emissions, congestion relief can reduce travel delays, engine idle time and unproductive fuel consumption. So even though reducing greenhouse gas emissions is not a goal of the CMAQ program, such reductions may be achieved as an
ancillary benefit.
Funnels through SLOCOG; Worth it if you can make a case for the the cost-effectiveness of the proposed project in terms of cost per pound (or ton) of pollutants reduced. You can use the provided calculator tool to assess project viability before starting an application (must have MS Access to access the calculator tool, FYI).

City Council Agenda July 18, 2023
Regional Vision for Housing
In early 2020, local agencies adopted a San Luis Obispo Countywide Regional Compact to establish a united regional framework to unlock our potential to develop an adequate supply of housing and infrastructure that support our economic prosperity.
1. Overview
San Luis Obispo County is a rural coastal county with seven vibrant cities and numerous unincorporated communities that depend on collaborative relationships between and among government agencies, community organizations, and residents to solve the region’s significant issues including inadequate supply of affordable housing and resilient water, wastewater, and transportation infrastructure and resources.
The County and all seven Cities are working collaboratively to develop the region’s first Regional Infrastructure and Housing Strategic Action Plan (Regional Plan) that will identify actions to address these issues. A key component of the Regional Plan is the integration of efforts to address critical housing and related infrastructure needs. As part of the Housing Element update process, representatives of the County, seven Cities and San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG) developed this chapter to showcase the ongoing commitment of each agency to this collaborative effort. This Chapter presents a regional vision and policies focused specifically on fostering regional collaboration to plan and develop housing and supportive infrastructure.
2. Alignment with Regional Compact
This effort is guided by the San Luis Obispo Countywide Regional Compact (Regional Compact). The Regional Compact, adopted by each jurisdiction in early 2020, outlines six shared regional goals to guide collaborative resolution of underlying housing and infrastructure needs:
Goal 1. Strengthen Community Quality of Life – We believe that our Region’s quality of life depends on four cornerstones to foster a stable and healthy economy for all: resilient infrastructure and resources, adequate housing supply, business opportunities, and educational pathways.
Goal 2. Share Regional Prosperity – We believe that our Region should share the impacts and benefits of achieving enduring quality of life among all people, sectors and interests.
Goal 3. Create Balanced Communities – We believe that our Region should encourage new development that helps to improve the balance of jobs and housing throughout the Region, providing more opportunities to residents to live and work in the same community. 2023 HIP Appendix E Attachment 5
City Council Agenda July 18, 2023
Goal 4. Value Agriculture & Natural Resources – We believe that our Region’s unique agricultural resources, open space, and natural environments play a vital role in sustaining healthy local communities and a healthy economy, and therefore should be purposefully protected.
Goal 5. Support Equitable Opportunities – We believe that our Region should support policies, actions, and incentives that increase housing development of all types, available to people at all income levels.
Goal 6. Foster Accelerated Housing Production – We believe that our Region must achieve efficient planning and production of housing and focus on strategies that produce the greatest impact.
3. Policies
It will take regional collaboration and local actions to realize the vision and goals outlined in the Regional Compact. Below is an initial list of aspirational regional policies that further the Regional Compact vision, in addition to local policies. By listing these below, it does not mandate any individual agency to implement actions, but rather offers ways that the County, cities, SLOCOG, and other partners can consider moving forward, together. In addition, and consistent with each Housing Element cycle, each of the seven cities and the County has the opportunity to choose to implement local policies and programs that help to support their achievement of its RHNA, and if an agency chooses to, can also support the Regional Compact vision and goals in a way that works for its jurisdiction and community. See Section B for local programs and policies for Atascadero’s anticipated actions during this Housing Element cycle.
R-1: Promote awareness and support of regional efforts that further housing and infrastructure resiliency by utilizing community engagement, and consistent and transparent communication.
R-2: Encourage an adequate housing supply and resilient infrastructure, services, and resources to improve the balance of jobs and housing throughout the Region.
R-3: Develop inter-agency partnerships as appropriate to implement goals and policies related to housing and infrastructure.
R-4: Coordinate State, Federal, and other funding opportunities for housing and infrastructure development throughout the Region.
R-5: Encourage developers to sell newly constructed housing units to individuals residing or employed within the area of the development (a city or the County) first before selling to individuals from outside the County, to promote local preference.
R-6: Encourage rental units be prioritized for long term residents rather than short term users or vacation rentals.
2023 HIP Appendix E Attachment 5
City Council Agenda July 18, 2023
R-7: Support housing development that is located within existing communities and strategically planned areas.
R-8: Encourage regional collaboration on a menu of housing types, models, and efforts to support streamlined approvals for such developments (i.e. Accessory Dwelling Units, etc.).
4. Moving Forward
The County, cities, SLOCOG, and other partners engaged in housing and infrastructure development will continue to collaborate on efforts moving forward – recognizing the benefits of working together to achieve an enduring quality of life among the region’s people, sectors and interests. This ongoing collaboration will include learning from each other and sharing possible tools, policies and actions that can allow the collective region to move towards our adopted Regional Compact vision. Ongoing collaborative efforts will be described in the Regional Plan, anticipated to be complete in 2021, and related regional efforts will live outside of each individual agency’s Housing Element. 2023 HIP Appendix E Attachment 5

City Council Agenda July 18, 2023
Our region has strategic goals for the future of housing and infrastructure, but they can only be achieved through the decisions and actions of organizations and stakeholders. The stakeholder meetings are designed to have honest conversations about what each organization can and needs to do to realize those goals. Key stakeholders include:
HIP Steering Committee
Formed to oversee the vision for the HIP Outreach Strategy and to bring leaders in each of these areas together, aligning and integrating the various interests that will lead to action on the region’s priorities.
Regional Managers/ Key Staff
A key driving force behind developing this plan has been regional leadership, including eight City Managers, County Administrative Officer, SLOCOG Executive Director (and key directors from their organizations).
Elected Officials
Two City Council Members with knowledge of regional differences will bring the various perspectives and concerns voiced by their respective constituents for this Steering Committee. The full 40 elected officials within the region will have an opportunity to hear about the plan through public updates to SLOCOG Board as well as through presentations of the recommended HIP to their Councils and Boards in Summer 2023.
Building & Development Cluster
Leaders in the building and development industry that convene quarterly with the goal of regional coordination focused on aligning housing and infrastructure needs to create a strong local economy.
Housing Advocacy Group
Organizations and individuals that have significant influence in the community, with representation from the non-profit builders, local chambers of commerce and various advocate organizations.
Housing Action Team
Existing work group made up of planning/ community development staff from Cities, County, and SLOCOG.
Community Stakeholders
The broader community will be engaged in partnership with the SLO Chamber of Commerce Housing Summit in Spring 2023. Feedback from this event will be brought to the HIP Steering Committee to discuss and adjust the communications plan accordingly.
