Community Workshop: Alternatives |March 2016| 15

UCB: Alternative A – Existing GP


Considerations• Low opportunity cost• Improves jobs/housing balance• Provides closest match of new job types to existing

labor force • Provides mostly industrial jobs and the greatest

opportunity to meet city’s employment demands• Provide jobs that pay a living wage• Has the lowest fiscal benefit• Creates the fewest additional peak hour trips• Has the potential to generate fewer outbound trips• Accommodates existing uses and does not result in

land use conflicts with Lincoln-Alvarado Business Park to the West

Net New Population:Net New Housing:Net New Jobs:


UCB: Alternative B

East Side Residential

965370114

Considerations• Maintains existing GP designation on West side of

UCB that is supportive of existing uses• Provides a good match of new job types to

existing labor force • Worsens jobs/housing balance due to more

housing being added than jobs• Would provide some jobs that pay a living wage • Has a relatively low fiscal benefit• Has potential to generate fewer outbound trips• Supportive of existing uses and minimizes land use

conflicts with existing business park to the West and SFR to the East



UCB: Alternative C1

East-Side Commercial / Residential

521218487

Considerations• Provides opportunity to address the city’s

retail leakage• Second highest fiscal benefit • Improves jobs/housing balance • Supportive of existing uses and minimizes

land use conflicts• Likely create more walking/biking

opportunities



UCB: Alternative C2 – Commercial / Mixed Use

4081711,536

Considerations• Provides best opportunity to address the city’s

retail leakage• Has the highest fiscal benefit• Has highest job creation but majority of jobs

below living wage• Improves jobs/housing balance • Would likely create more walking/biking

opportunities• Minimizes land use conflicts • More traffic congestion



UCB: Alternative D -Residential

2,040815-319

Considerations• High opportunity cost• Help meet city’s future residential demands• Most opportunity for affordable housing• Loss of jobs due to loss of employment-

generating land uses• Lowers jobs/housing balance• Relatively low fiscal benefit• Creates more parkland and walking/biking

opportunities• Potential for land use conflicts with business park

to the West

HVA: Alternative A

2002 General Plan00180

Points of Consideration• Provides greatest opportunity to meet

city’s employment demands• Provides greatest opportunity to meet

city’s job/housing ratio• Generates flex-industrial jobs, which

pay a living wage• Creates little fiscal impact• Generates fewer trips than residential

uses• Adds relatively few additional peak

hour trips compared to today• Not conducive to walkability or

bikeability

Theme:Net New Population:Net New Housing:Net New Jobs:

HVA: Alternative B


Residential1,084431-14

Points of Consideration• Would lose jobs due to loss of

employment-generating land uses• Would help meet city’s future residential

demands• Would lower jobs/housing ratio• Provides some multifamily housing, which

has greatest potential to be affordable• Creates little fiscal impact• Results in more net trips due to

residential land uses • Results in the greatest increase in total

VMT• Greatest relatively opportunity to

promote walkability and bikeability



HVA: Alternative C

Residential/Light Industrial15441181

Points of Consideration• Would generate flex-industrial jobs, which

pay a living wage• Potentially improves the jobs/housing

balance• Does not provide opportunity for

affordable housing• Creates little fiscal impact• Generates relatively few additional total

trips• Creates relatively few additional peak

hour trips compared to today• Not conducive to walkability or bikeability



HVA: Alternative D1

Union Sanitary Expansion Option9224182

Points of Consideration• USD would create office and industrial

type jobs, which would pay a living wage• Provides opportunity to improve

jobs/housing balance• Does not provide opportunity for

affordable housing due to low-density designation

• Creates little fiscal impact• Generates limited new trips because of

USD expansion• Not conducive to walkability or

bikeability

Theme:



HVA: Alternative D2

Union Sanitary Expansion – City Option9224199

Points of Consideration• Similar to Alternative D2• Locates the USD expansion in the

western half• Provides better opportunity to develop

light industrial uses adjacent to Whipple Road
