WHAT WE HEARD
Community Input to Date • Workshop #1 & Survey- Key issues and concerns • Workshop #2 – Feedback on housing types and general locations to direct housing • Stakeholder Outreach – East San Carlos Neighborhood • City Council Housing Subcommittee
WHAT WE KNOW
Trestle Apartments

30 du/acre
Surface Parking
42 ft. height
3 StoriesSince We Met Last…
Analyses Conducted
What can be achieved with current
regulations?How many units can be accommodated with San Carlos’ current Zoning? RHNA = 2,735 • Recommended Buffer = 20% (547 additional units) • RHNA + Buffer = 3,282 Current Zoning = 1,235 units to 2,235 units Housing shortfall = 1,047 – 2,047 units
Why are we working with such a
broad estimate of 1,047 - 2,047?
• State specific information not yet available
– ADU credits
• Final RHNA numbers late 2021
Official Draft RHNA of 2,735 released yesterday
• Need to provide at least 20% “buffer” housingSince We Met Last…
Analyses Conducted
Are Current Regulations Working?Are Current Regulations Working? Recent Developments Tell the Story • Mixed Use and Multi-Family Zoning adopted 2011 • 575 new units constructed; of those 49 BMR units • Not reaching BMR RHNA targets; 364 unit shortfall from 413 RHNA requirement (prior RHNA cycle) • Majority condos • Large units • Challenges with meeting parking requirements • Developments not constructed to upper limits of development potential Developers’ Interviews and City Comparisons • Height, density, modified regulations
Since We Met Last…
Analyses Conducted
What can be achieved when particular
regulations are modified?Purpose of Tonight’s Workshop Focus on two historically sensitive areas: Development adjacent to single-family neighborhoods Industrial uses next to single-family neighborhoods
POTENTIAL ZONING MODIFICATIONS
Zooming in on Zoning
• Consider Mixed-Use Zoning District and Terminal Way
• Review visualizations and diagrams to inform your comments
• Help us gauge the level of support for different options
– Heights, density
– Design standards: parking, open space, others
• Recognize that the City is required by State law to determine how it
will meet its RHNA
• Your direction will help determine how that can be achievedMethodology Evaluated allowable development based on current code Revised and tested individual standards to determine what trigger greatest change – Parking – Open space – Dwelling units per acre (density) – Height

Scenarios B, C and D generate more housing with less building height
and FAR than what the MU-N currently allows.TERMINAL WAY – EXPLORING POTENTIALS
Terminal Way - Would you consider…? Introducing housing? • Parcels on north side of Terminal likely to have more restrictions on height, setbacks, and/or ground floor use due to adjacent single- family residential. • Parcels on south side of Terminal are typically deeper and are more likely to facilitate higher capacity housing types in general.
Terminal Way - Would you consider…? North Side – potential housing types • Live/work? • Residential over retail? • Both?
Terminal Way - Would you consider…? South Side potential housing types • Live/work? • Residential over retail? • Both?
