Hi Corinna,
Will the Parkline/SRI Housing Needs Analysis ("HNA") be prepared and available soon? If so, when?
Please recall that Planning Commission Staff Report #: 22-073-PC Page 2 states: "In addition, a Fiscal Impact Analysis (FIA), Water Supply Assessment (WSA), and Housing Needs Assessment (HNA) will be prepared. Additional actions and entitlements may be required as the project plans are refined"
I notice on the Parkline document page there is an FIA, and an WSA, but no HNA.
I found the Willow Village HNA to be extraordinarily informative and helpful, and Im sure council and the public did too.
In my view, and hopefully councils view, the HNA is particularly important for mixed use projects that propose both jobs and housing to analyze
* the total net housing surplus/deficits created by the project,
* net displacement of low-income families in San Mateo County and Menlo Park resulting from the project, and
* the likely market conditions and rents that would apply to non deed-restricted units.
Knowing the likely rents of market rate units can be used to determine which income groups can afford these rents and which cannot, telling us who exactly will be the beneficiary of new market rate housing units in Central/Downtown Menlo Park.
Thanks for your consideration,
Paul Collacchi
