Kim Grant reviewed the Key Planning Elements and Data Considerations. • Average Median Income • Population Growth • Median Sales Price • Housing Opportunity Index Chairman Hruby and the committee members discussed the real estate market, existing conditions, assumptions, data available (locally and nationally), etc. It was suggested that when the model is approved, projections should be evaluated on a quarter by quarter basis. Discussions ensued regarding population growth in conjunction with indicators, affordable housing units approved, keeping a math simple equation, the review of elements quarterly and affordable housing permits pulled. Kim Grant summarized conclusions as follows: • Changes to the model based on committee input: o Update HOI to current data o Use the BEBR projection rather than Net Migration o If available,use building permits submitted for affordable housing rather than the land use planning figures(to obtain a more realistic view of those in development to become available near term) o Translate the info to an apples to apples comparison based on a family of four with minimum two bedrooms (need bedroom data) o Reflect the model also in 80% and 120%AMI o Provide stats by commission district 3 November 4,2013 • Reviewed on a quarterly basis adding ancillary and current market or other data to assist in formulating any recommendations There were no public speakers on the topic.
