Relevant Experience City of Pasadena Nexus and Inclusionary Housing Studies DRA performed a nexus study and in lieu fee analysis for the City of Pasadena to update its inclusionary housing ordinance (IHO). Court decisions such as Palmer v. City of Los Angeles, and Sterling Park, I_.P., v. City of Palo Alto, called into question the legal basis for the City's current II-10. To preserve its regulatory capacity to generate affordable housing, the City considered a fee -based system in addition to its current land -use -based system. DRA also reassessed the City's existing eight Inclusionary housing Sub -Areas to determine if they accurately reflect the Current real estate market, and recommend needed adjustments. DRA reviewed trends associated with the Payment of in lieu fees and the provision of affordable units by Sub -Area for both owner and renter housing projects since the inception of Pasadena's IHO. DRA developed four housing prototypes that reflect the current real estate market and existing zoning code in Pasadena. Using an affordability gap analysis we calculated the maximum supportable impact fee for residential development. Using an approach based on the relationship between new market -rate housing development, spending on goods and services, associated employment impacts, and the affordable housing requirements of the new workers, DRA performed a nexus study to estimate the number of households living in Pasadena who will qualify as very low, low or moderate income under the new housing prototypes. DRA also conducted an analysis of the potential effect of inclusionary housing requirements, alternatives and incentives, and nexus fees on the economic feasibility of new owner and renter housing development to assist the City Council in determining the most appropriate nexus fee for Pasadena. City of Pasadena Concord Apartments DRA advised the City of Pasadena on Retirement Housing Foundation's ("RHF's") proposal to acquire from the City the 149-unit HUD -financed affordable senior housing property located at 275 E.
