CCDC Holds Affordable
Housing Workshop
CCDC held a 3 hour workshop yesterday on
their 2007-2008 affordable housing plan and proposed underwriting guidelines.
After listening to 1.5 hours of testimony, the Board directed staff to hold a
workshop with the developers on the underwriting guidelines to try to develop
consensus. They agreed with the staff recommendations on the policy
issues: promote mixed-income projects up 80% AMI; promote development north of
Broadway; and, require amenities and green building principles for affordable
developments. They asked for more information and discussion on the
following staff recommendations: support rental over homeownership and
encourage the development of 3 bedroom units.
They also gave the green light to proceed on the
9th & Market RFP and to try to find a project in Little Italy. They
supported a proposal by Affirmed Housing for 22 story tower at 10th & B
street with 228 units, but only if they deal could be restructured to reduce
the Agency contribution.

The meeting will be held at at 6:00 p.m. in the Del Mar Communications Center,
240 10th Street, Del Mar. Copies of the draft 2005-2010 Housing Element Update

Del Mar's Regional Housing Needs Assessment
allocation from SANDAG is 25 new units by 2010 as follows:
- 4 Very
low income
- 6 Low income
- 5 Moderate income
-
10 Above Moderate income
The city has 22 acres of undeveloped residential
land spread among 46 parcels. The maximum density of any of the parcels
is 12.5 du/acre with a total possible development of 53 units. Due to
the built-out status of the City, the primary means for addressing the
affordable housing needs are with programs other than new construction, e.g.
rent subsidies, allowing second dwelling units and allowing more accessory
dwelling units with certain commercial properties.
