Keyser Marston Associates, Inc (KMA) has continued to evaluate the impacts of the BMR provisions of the Residential Development Control System (RDCS) and the development economics. A series of workshops with members of the development community, City staff, and the City Council have been held during the summer of 2016 to discuss the BMR program and the preliminary findings of KMA’s review. Based on input received during these sessions, KMA and City staff have undertaken additional review of the recorded maps for projects with BMR units to understand the dispersion of BMR units within projects and the size of BMR units relative to the size of market rate units. This report summarizes the findings of our review and provides suggested modifications.
The KMA report is recommending that the basis for the in-lieu fee be changed from a “per unit” fee to a “per square foot” fee. Please join us on Tuesday November 1st, 11:30-12:30 with Debbie Kern to discuss and gather input on the latest BMR in-lieu fee report.
The KMA report is attached and available on the City's Housing website: http://www.morgan-hill.ca.gov/629/Housing. Date: Tuesday November 1st When: 11:30-12:30 Where: West Conference Room, Council Chambers, 17555 Peak Avenue Morgan Hill The report is scheduled to be on the regular agenda of the November 16 City Council meeting.
