Rationale for selecting proportion PIP funding


Two factors lessen the potential value of the PIP fee to support
acquisition & development of parks:
Not all 3.4 M sf will develop during 20-year life of BDP
Fixed rate fee (non-inflation adjusted) will lose value over 20 years of
implementation and erode purchasing power

If affordable housing providers


redevelop at higher density, they

Proportion of affordable to

Potential loss of naturally


occurring affordable market-rate

More rent-restricted units overall

Ensure affordable housing
