5 Section I Background Infill Potential Methodology Project May 2004
6
6 Develop a Tool That Will: Identify infill parcels with potential for redevelopment Estimate increased housing production through use of specific infill strategies Compare different strategies to determine which provide more “bang for the buck” Be utilized by cities, counties, and the development community and citizen groups Infill Potential Methodology Project May 2004
7
7 Project Goals Develop a replicable tool that will analyze infill scenarios at parcel, neighborhood, and city-wide scale evolve with changing circumstances support evaluation of public policies and programs utilize local and national government databases use ‘off-the-shelf’ GIS software Infill Potential Methodology Project May 2004

9 Section II Geographic Screening Infill Potential Methodology Project May 2004
10
10 Focus on “Built/Capacity” Units on the ground / some estimate zoning capacity Central focus of infill methodology Helps planners identify good spots for infill Highlights areas where change can be accommodated with little regulatory change Can be combined with other screens such as land:improvement ratio and investments
11
11 Example Screens Zoning Parcel Size Units on Ground Compared to Zoning Density Ratio of Improvement Value to Land Value Year Built Land Use Distance from Transit Other… Infill Potential Methodology Project May 2004

17
17 Query 3: Parcels Greater Than 7000 Square Feet in Size
18
18 Query 4a: Existing Units Less the 50% Allowed by Zoning
19

25 Section III Evaluating Infill Strategies Infill Potential Methodology Project May 2004
26
26 Strategy Development and Analysis 1. Define Strategy 2. Generate Assumptions 3. Geographic Screening 4. Map Results 5. Calculate Estimated Infill Potential 6. Evaluate and Revise Infill Potential Methodology Project May 2004
27
27 Generate Assumptions Determine Density Increase Due to Strategy Determine Absorption Rate Local Market Conditions Increase Due to Strategy Increase Due to Subsidy Infill Potential Methodology Project May 2004
28
28 Strategy 1: 25% Density Bonus “A 25% density bonus on selected multi-family zoned residential parcels” Example Qualifying Parcel Criteria: Multiple family zoning Omit parcels with non residential, non commercial uses ie: churches Existing/Allowed units ratio less than 75% Improvement Ratio less than 0.9 Infill Potential Methodology Project May 2004

30 Strategy 1: 25% Inclusionary Density Bonus
31
31 Strategy 5: Transit Oriented District (TOD) “Significant density increase of all residential and commercially zoned parcels within a given distance of a major transit hub. Height limits are removed and parking is reduced.” Example Qualifying Parcel Criteria: All parcels within given distance of major transit hub Omit parcels with non residential and non commercial zoning Infill Potential Methodology Project May 2004

32 Southeast LA CPA
33
33 Query 1: Parcels within Southeast LA CPA
34
34 Query 2: Parcels within ½ Mile of Transit Stop
35
35 Query 2a: Parcels within ¼ Mile of Transit Stop
36
36 Query 3: Parcels with Residential and Commercial Zoning

39 Benefits of This Tool 1. You can select any geography you want … and any parcel-based features you want. 2. You can “de-select” parcels by hand if you know they don’t “fit”. 3. You can test specific policy ideas and see how they will play out statistically and geographically. 4. You can make assumptions about market behavior and incorporate those.

41
41 Potential Applications Public Sector General agency analysis HCD – Housing Elements Proactive planning – pre-approving good sites for infill development Private Sector Developers locating opportunity sites for development Infill Potential Methodology Project May 2004
42
42 Sample EJ Application Layer parcel data onto larger-scale data (what we call “Infill Study Areas”) See infill potential as it relates to socioeconomic conditions Example: Multifamily v. second units in West L.A. Community Plan Area
