3. Corridor Housing Initiative Aims Center for Neighborhoods The Corridor Housing Initiative demonstrates replicable models of proactive, integrated planning and consensus building among neighborhoods, the city, and the county. The Corridor Housing Initiative produces economically and politically viable development projects that include affordable housing options along corridors and meet city goals and neighborhood interests. The new Corridor Housing Initiative model(s) and resulting projects produce new affordable housing options more efficiently and effectively than conventional development processes.

9. Group created development options from block models representing standard unit sizes. New development option numbers were calculated by a development consultant during workshop. The development consultant used standard assumptions about developer fees (approx. 5%), subsidies, construction costs, and rental/sales prices.

10. Development Costs Workshop developed detailed analysis like illustration to left (no need to read ittheres a shorter version in the next slide). Analysis shows that site A becomes more viable with increased numbers of units. 49-52 unit options were attractive to participants and broke even if there were approx 30 affordable units to get subsidies, although land price estimate was low. Includes below ground parking.

16. Workshop group investigated options for both a base site and a larger one. Options emphasized housing for GLBT seniors. Development options building on the base site onlyto save land costs--and with less commercial development were more cost effective as shown in Scenario 2 on the next page.

19. Site B: Development Workshop Scenarios Step back at rear Lake Street Lower height at rear Top image shows expanded site which is not cost effective but has parking entry from rear and building that steps back at a rear plaza (68 unitsclose to scenario 3). Bottom image shows base site with building height reduced at rear to match existing neighborhood (39 unitsclose to scenario 2).

21. Site C Bread Shop Base site Expanded site LAKE STREET 14 th AVENUE S

22. Site C View from Lake Street View from 14 th Avenue

23. On site C both less intensive and highly intensive levels of development can be made cost effective. In either case the Lake Street Initiative stressed leaving views along 14 th Avenue S.
