City of Newport Housing Needs Analysis Technical Advisory Committee #1

1. City of NewportHousing Needs AnalysisTechnical Advisory Committee #1 Presented by: ECONorthwest January 20, 2011

2. Agenda • Introductions (10 minutes) • Overview of the project (30 minutes) • Presentation by ECONorthwest • Role of the TAC • Q&A • Discussion of key housing issues in Newport. (80 minutes) • What are the most pressing housing issues in Newport? • What are the opportunities for addressing these issues? • What are the barriers for addressing these issues? • Are there specific housing issues that we should pay more attention for Newport? • What outcomes do TAC members desire from the study?

3. Determining Land “Needs”

4. Building from Principles to Plan • How much growth? • How much land? • Where is the buildable land? • Vacant; unconstrained physically or by policy • What development patterns make sense?

5. Components of the Land Needs Analysis • Demand is a function of population and employment growth • Supply is a function of land base

6. Housing need is based on the principle that a community’s plan for housing should meets the needs of households at all income levels Housing market demand is what households demonstrate they are willing to purchase in the market place Need: Type Tenure Financial Condition Crowding Special Populations Demand: Evidenced by recent development trends (e.g., type, price, and mix) Housing: Demand v. Need

7. Determining Demand: Housing • Housing price is influenced by a range of factors • Income, age and household size affect housing choice

8. Determining Demand: Housing • Typical Method forCalculating Needed Dwelling Units • Future population • Current population • =population increase • persons in group quarters • =persons in new dwelling units • persons per dwelling unit • =occupied dwelling units • -demolitions+vacant dwelling units • + additional units needed to accommodate decreased household size of existing households • = Total needed dwelling units • Builds from population forecasts • Requires assumptions about: • Persons in group quarters • Household size • Mix • Vacancy rates • Needed units/density gives needed acres

9. State Requirements

10. Goal 10: Housing “Buildable lands for residential use shall be inventoried and plans shall encourage the availability of adequate numbers of needed housing units at price ranges and rent levels which are commensurate with the financial capabilities of Oregon households and allow for flexibility of housing location, type and density.”

11. Needed housing types (ORS 197.303): • Housing that includes, but is not limited to, attached and detached single-family housing and multiple family housing for both owner and renter occupancy; • Government assisted housing; • Mobile home or manufactured dwelling parks as provided in ORS 197.475 to 197.490; and • Manufactured homes on individual lots planned and zoned for single-family residential use that are in addition to lots within designated manufactured dwelling subdivisions.

12. OAR 660-008: Housing • Purpose: The purpose of this rule is to assure opportunity for the provision of adequate numbers of needed housing units, the efficient use of buildable land within urban growth boundaries, and to provide greater certainty in the development process so as to reduce housing costs.

13. Definitions • “Buildable Land” means residentially designated land within the urban growth boundary, including both vacant and developed land likely to be redeveloped, that is suitable, available and necessary for residential uses. Publicly owned land is generally not considered available for residential uses. (OAR 660-008-0005(2))

14. Suitable and Available • Land is generally considered “suitable and available” unless it: • (a) Is severely constrained by natural hazards as determined under Statewide Planning Goal 7; • (b) Is subject to natural resource protection measures determined under statewide Planning Goals 5, 15, 16, 17, or 18; • (c) Has slopes of 25 percent or greater; • (d) Is within the 100-year flood plain; or • (e) Cannot be provided with public facilities.

15. Redevelopment • “Redevelopable Land” means land zoned for residential use on which development has already occurred but on which, due to present or expected market forces, there exists the strong likelihood that existing development will be converted to more intensive residential uses during the planning period.

16. Work Program

17. Work Program • Forecast need for residential land within the Newport UGB • Residential buildable land inventory • Housing needs analysis • Determine residential land sufficiency • Evaluate policy and program options to address identified housing needs • TAC meetings • A key emphasis of this project is on policies to better address identified housing needs

18. Work Program Overview • Project kick-off • Residential needs analysis • Residential buildable lands analysis • Conclusions, recommendations, and implementation measures • Draft and final report

19. TAC Schedule • Meeting 1: Project Kick-off (Jan 20) • Meeting 2: Draft inventory results (Feb 10) • Meeting 3: Housing needs (Feb 24) • Meeting 4: Policy implications and options (Mar 17) • Meeting 5: Policy refinement (Apr 14) • Grant requires project be completed by May 31, 2011

20. Discussion • What are the most pressing housing issues in Newport? • What are the opportunities for addressing these issues? • What are the barriers for addressing these issues? • Are there specific housing issues that we should pay more attention for Newport? • What outcomes do TAC members desire from the study?
