Draft Draft Draft <br /> 7/29/2010 <br /> • Household Growth Potential <br /> • Ratio of local low -wage jobs to low - <br /> wage workers • Current provision of <br /> affordable housing <br /> • Transit Service <br /> Based on their analysis, the Metropolitan Council's new affordable housing <br /> goal for Centerville is to create between 111 and 170 new affordable housing <br /> units between 2011 and 2020. The affordability limit is 60% of area median <br /> income for both owner and renter occupied. <br /> In addition, the City establishes the goal of 170 -270 Life -Cycle Housing units. <br /> The City has responded to this need and the need for additional housing in <br /> general by increasing areas to medium and high density at the same time they <br /> are working through the implementation of an aggressive downtown master <br /> plan that will bring over 300 units at densities at or above 8 units per acre. As <br /> shown on Table 18 there are 134 acres guided for residential densities at a <br /> range starting at 5 units an acre for Medium Density and up to 12 units an acre <br /> for High Density for a potential of 859 units. As the City is nearly fully <br /> developed, this acreage will be within MUSA prior to 2020 this land is <br /> considered available for development at a density that supports affordable <br /> housing prior to 2020. <br /> The City has also applied for LCA grants through the Met Council for <br /> construction of Chateau Goiffon, an affordable senior housing project that will <br /> include 40 units. This project may be completed before 2011, but the City <br /> wishes to count these 40 units towards their goal of 170 new units by 2020. <br /> While the City is doing their part in creating a regulatory land use plan to plan <br /> for areas of density greater then 5 du /acre for medium , 8 -12 du /acre for mixed <br /> use and 12 du /acre units where most affordable housing will occur. Barriers to <br /> development of affordable housing still exist in the region as well as in <br /> Centerville. Some of these barriers are beyond the City's control including: <br /> • Steady increases in land prices. <br /> • Increase in construction costs. When combined with land prices, it <br /> becomes more difficult to provide affordable units through new <br /> construction. <br /> • Physical limitations of land due to wetlands, poor access, poor soils that <br /> would increase the cost of land development or construction thus making <br /> it more difficult to build affordable units. <br /> • Limited amount of remaining developable land. <br /> • State, county and local tax structures. <br /> There are some significant barriers to construction of new affordable housing <br /> including the few named above. It is important that cities help in the effort to <br /> provide affordable housing. To assist in this effort, Centerville can use its <br />
