Introduction „A NEW DOWNTOWN“

When we first conducted a preliminary research on East Palo Alto, we were struck by the displacement of the Hispanic/ Latino and African American population as the growth of the neighboring Palo Alto creeps upon the city. As Stanford students who are nurtured with the values of friendship and community, we are compelled to pursue this project as an attempt to bridge not only the numbers in economics and finance but also the gap of culture and identity between the two cities. The Corner is our dedication to both Stanford University and the distressed communities of East Palo Alto.

THE MARKET DEMOGRAPHICS Divided only by a now-dry creek called San Francisquito, Palo Alto and East Palo Alto (EPA) present two distinct sides of the Silicon Valley job market boom: the former flourish while the latter chronically dragging behind. A quick glance at Figure 1 reveals EPA’s slow growth. With 29,684 living residents, the city is home to a younger population who earns less than half of Palo Alto’s median income. It also struggles with poverty and unemployment as the two rates far exceed those of Palo Alto. The economy of EPA is specialized in Administrative, Support & Waste Management Services; Accommodation & Food Service; and Other services. Indicator Population (2016) Average Household Size Median Age Median Household Income Poverty Rate Unemployment Rate

California 39,540,000 2.9 36.4 $60,883.00 15% 4.30%

Figure 1: East Palo Alto in Comparison EPA is also notable for its demographic composition, which consists of 65.1% Hispanic/Latino, 13% African American, and 8.83% Pacific Islanders. Due to a concentrated population of minorities, 73.6% of the residents speak a non-English language, and 70.3% are U.S. citizens. Figure 2 compares EPA’s demographics with those of San Mateo County, which features a majority of white inhabitants [1]. Due to the influx of the Hispanic/Latino group, investors and stakeholders have been speculating about the impact of undocumented immigration on housing vulnerability.

LOCAL HOUSING MARKET EPA’s real estate landscape is undergoing drastic changes in the recovery years after the hard-hitting 2008 housing crisis. The median property price was $417,800 in 2015. By January 2018, the value doubled to $907,000, nearly 70% higher than the median house price in the state California [2]. On the other hand, the house ownership rate has remained relatively stable in the past few years, hovering around 34-36% [3]. As of April 2018, average rent for an apartment in EPA is $2,520, decreasing by 1% from last year’s average rent of $2,535 [4]. On average, one-bedroom apartments (average size of 618 SF) rent for $2152/month, and two-bedroom apartment average $3,032/ month (average size of 937 SF). Contextualizing the rent values, Figure 3 reveals that EPA’s residents are facing significant housing cost burdens [5]. To combat rapidly changing housing costs, many residents are choosing to live with family members or to rent out rooms in their homes. In fact, about 28% of all units in EPA are overcrowded, tripling the County’s percentage of 8.9% [6,7].

Figure 3: Percentage of Housing Units in EPAwith Rent and Mortgage Burdens, 1980–2010 Since 1980, EPA has served as the optimal choice of affordability for low-income households who otherwise would be excluded from more affluent regions in California. City officials and advocates are in unanimous agreement regarding the impact of the economic recession and foreclosure crisis on EPA, i.e. the growing displacement of many many African American and Latino homeowners and intensifying stress on low and middle-income households [8]. In addition, the city faces two complex affordable housing stressors: an increase in second dwelling units and the consolidated ownership of multifamily rental housing stock in the southwestern part of the city [9].

However, strong protection for renters and support for affordability have become a part of the city’s identity. Despite legal challenges at the state-level, EPA enacted multiple policies favorable to affordable housing such as the 1988 ordinance for rent stabilization and the 2002 inclusionary housing program [10]. The latter now requires all new buildings to dedicate at least 20% of the residential units to households in the 30-80% AMI range. Other changes toward alleviating the housing pressure include a unanimously endorsed housing impact fee on new-market rate development, an ordinance denying conversion to condominium, and a reduction of parking and setback requirements on

Figure 4: Affordability gap for a one-person household in a one-bedroom apartment Figure 4 shows the affordability gap for various income distributions in San Mateo County for one-person households to provide the context for our pro forma. The affordability gap is calculated using the difference between the average monthly rent of the county and the AMI brackets provided by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The government would be providing as much as $1,998 and as little as $249 for individuals in the range of 30-100% AMI. EPA features 11 existing affordable-housing complexes (see Figure A1 of Appendix A), supplying 520 affordable apartments, only 172 of which are subsidized by Section 8. However, most of these apartments’ waitlists are closed due to zero vacancy. Given the discussed housing scarcity, housing cost burdens, favorable conditions provided by the city, and the closed waitlists, we strongly believe that it is not only appropriate to construct The Corner Downtown but also of considerable significance to contribute 162 units—the largest affordable-housing project in the area yet—to the low-income communities of EPA.

THE SITE Our site, as shown in Figure 5, encompasses approximately 2.03 acres and is bounded by University Ave. the city’s important connection with the rest of the region, and Bay Rd., a major east-west corridor in EPA. The site is part of the Ravenswood 4 Corners TOD Specific Plan, particularly in the 4 Corners District. Surrounded by low-tomedium density residential zones, the site has easy access to many amenities in the neighborhood such as East Palo Alto Library, Cesar Chavez Elementary School, Jack Farrell Park, USPS, McDonald’s, and the future Dumbarton Rail Line. Our project aims to assist EPA and specifically the Ravenswood Project in transforming the District into a thriving neighborhood with equitable housing, employment opportunities, parking, and open spaces.

entitlements The Corner is zoned under R-HD-5 (Multiple-Family High Density Residential Zone) of the General Plan. It also specifically belongs to the Ravenswood 4 Corners TOD Specific Plan, which overwrites the municipal Code of Ordinances. Our mixed-use development adheres to the standards set under this Specific Plan, which permits various commercial uses such as retail, residential, or professional offices. Figure A2 in Appendix A provides a more detailed overview of the area’s land use plan.

DENSITY BONUS The maximum density is set at 60 du/acre, providing us with a total of 120 dwelling units. The city’s Density Bonus Ordinance from November 2009 grants a 35% density bonus to properties that dedicate 20% of their units to affordable housing. Our project’s affordable component makes up 75% of the units, which suffice this requirement. Figure 6 is a summary table for the site’s development standards.

Figure 7: Parking Allowance In total, our project needs to provide 298 parking stalls. However, with the incorporation of student housing and retail, we believe that we could obtain a significant reduction through parking variances. Historically, downtown centers share parking spaces rather than reserving specific parking spaces for each individual use [12,13]. Mixed-use projects, which often benefit from different peak hours, can and should embrace the sharing of parking resources [14]. [11] For a detailed report, see Figure A3 in Appendix A.

During working hours, we anticipate that the health clinic will take up 108 parking stalls, leaving 36 stalls for retail and 36 for residential. As work hours end, the stalls will be freed up for the residents, returning a total of 144 stalls. Given the different peak periods of the residential and retail components and EPA’s commitment to affordability, we strongly believe that EPA will grant our project significant variances regarding parking [15]. Figure 8 below shows our calculation of peak times for weekdays and the weekend.

Figure 8: Parking hours

E N V I RO N M E N TA L R E V I E W Our project is subject to the review of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Since CEQA is a self-executing statute, we will perform an Initial Study of the site to predict future measures and possible soft costs. As soon as the local authorities and related agencies confirm that the site poses no potential or significant effects on the environment, we will submit a Negative Declaration to the State Clearinghouse for review before proceeding.

Figure 9: Our Site on GeoTracker

Following the guidelines provided, we will assess air quality, geology/soils, hazards/hazardous materials, hydrology/ water quality, and noise and report any findings regarding agricultural, biological, cultural, and mineral resources. According to GeoTracker, the State Board’s Internet-accessible database on waste and hazardous substances, our site is not a non-federally owned cleanup site or is in close proximity to any permitted facilities [16,17]. The nature of the existing infill site also leads us to believe that there is minimal negative impacts to land use and historical artifacts. Because our project is committed to sustainability, The Corner includes a 6,000-SF green roof to mitigate longterm environmental impacts. We explore specific sustanability implementations in the following section.

THE DESIGN

“I live in the corner� will have more than a solely geographical meaning in East Palo Alto. The Corner maximizes its potential to serve the local community with respect and innovation. As the first modern development at the intersection of University Avenue and Bay Road, our project opens a new chapter for the city and its people. An engine for economic and social prosperity in East Palo Alto, The Corner is for living, but it is also for working, playing, and learning.

Figure 10: The Corner

OVERVIEW The Corner has the potential to provide a significant amount of affordable housing for EPA, inspire an enriched quality of life, and transform the intersection into a vibrant center for the city - all at once. Our building has a complex exterior but a rather simple anatomy that prioritizes efficiency, sustainability, and the well-being of residents above all else. The 162-unit mixed-use project has six stories and is built out of timber with modular panels. The commercial ground level height is 16 ft. floor-to-floor, and all five residential levels above the ground floor are 10 ft. tall floor-to-floor. The private residential space of our building has two main entrances, one on the corner of University Ave. and Bay Rd. and the other on the corner of University Ave. and Weeks St. The parking lot is accessible from Bay Rd. or from Weeks.

Every commercial space faces the street and has full pedestrian access. Guests have optimal pedestrian access to the street through passageways on the ground level of the building. To access a commercial space on University Avenue, guests can cross through these public passageways instead of walking around the building. These passageways are open, and they are separate from the residential lobby entrances. Only residents and guests are allowed to enter the residences and their common spaces. Stairways and elevators are available in each of the two main lobbies. Each of these lobbies also has direct access to the parking lot in the back, all on the same level. At the backs of the two residential wings, there are two additional stairways that have access to the parking lot. Two garbage disposal containers are located behind the two wings of the building. Our building’s garbage chutes and HVAC utility and storage rooms are centralized around the elevators as well. Only the two lobby stairwells grant access to the roof.

DESIGNING A LIVING BUILDING The face of our building is an integral part of its design. The Corner upholds its residential style while it also champions a sharp, modern design as the face of East Palo Alto’s new downtown. The directionality of our building’s main entrance is intentional. It faces the core of EPA at its most important intersection. In the opposite direction, the residential entrance on Weeks St. and University Ave. is smaller and more private in order to maintain the integrity of the other multifamily buildings in the area. As the viewer follows the building toward the intersection, it’s structure evolves to a broader and more open one that embraces the city’s future and champions The Corner as a center of activity and community, a living piece in the city’s ever-changing puzzle.

Figure 26: View from University Ave. and Bay Rd. The Corner itself has a building anatomy different from the rest of the building. Instead of having a core divided into six stories, it has three atria, each two stories tall with double-heighted windows facing the corner and the courtyard. The bottom atrium includes the ground level entrance and the second story with access to the courtyard, the middle atrium includes the third and fourth stories, and the top atrium includes the fifth and sixth stories. The elevator and staircase does have access to every floor, and each atrium has peripheral hallways in the top floors that work as balconies to the atrium. Each atrium embodies a special function in the building. These places can be dedicated to specific workshops, meals, cultural events, or resident gathering areas. While these are indoor spaces, the two double-heighted windows on either side provide cross-ventilation and natural lighting throughout the day. Not only does this constant source of lighting provide a pleasant atmosphere for resident gatherings, but it also saves energy costs during the day. The double-heighted windows facing the intersection are perforated, letting part of the three atriums become balconies. This space defines The Corner as a living center of constant activity and movement.

021


Stanford University

THE CORNER

In every side of the building, there are instances where the exterior frames of the residential units do not match vertically. Rather, they are organized in an interlaced pattern that presents a structural representation of The Corner’s social message of bonding and diversity. Thus, every floor in the building has a slightly different unit organization.

Figure 27: Interlaced Facade Units Our building’s design also responds to the integrity of its neighborhood today. A line of trees divides the rear of the parking lot with the adjacent family homes, and the backs of the residential wings begin over thirty feet into the lot, granting plenty of breathing room between our large project and its neighbors.

C O M M U N I T Y & P R I VACY The courtyard is the central social space of The Corner. It is accessible from the two cores of the building on the second floor. The courtyard includes a playground, large open spaces, and plenty of sitting areas. This courtyard is the ideal center for The Corner’s community events sponsored by the project’s partner NGO’s, Stanford students, or anyone in the resident community. No corners are too acute to compromise the privacy of residents, and all units facing the courtyard have an enclosed patio that offers privacy and a space larger than regular balconies. Aside from the courtyard and the three atria in the main core, The Corner also has two outdoor terraces on the fifth floor with additional sitting areas facing west, giving residents opportunities to enjoy the sunset. Additionally, smaller common spaces in each floor provide opportunities to connect and learn. Structurally, these operate as open spaces between residential units. At the same time, they provide natural lighting and variation to the hallways.

BUSINESS IN THE CORNER Housing is not just a roof over a person’s head. Housing is a process that involves all other elements in life, and these include urban amenities. We believe that The Corner will not only satisfy the need of housing for EPA residents, but it will also bring services and needed amenities for the community that generate new employment and keep income circulating and growing inside EPA. An active and responsive business environment is one of the foundations for a healthy community. The Corner will reserve commercial spaces located on the first floor and give the rental priority to the existing businesses on the site, including the Taqueria El Jarocho, the La Estrellita Market Place, the Hair Saloon, and Las Adelitas Restaurant, which are all located on the site currently. In addition, our development aims to prioritize retail centers that the EPA community can afford. In addition, non-profit organizations such as Ravenswood Health Care Center and Ecumenical Hunger Program will have offices in our building.

THE CORNER

Stanford University

S U STA I N A B I L I T Y A N D E F F I C I E N CY Our project embodies three pillars of sustainability: economic, environmental, and social sustainability. By integrating these pillars throughout many of its spaces, The Corner will not only become a comfortable home for its residents but also a pioneer in energy saving and efficiency in East Palo Alto, addressing the present and the future.

MODULAR CONSTRUCTION The residential component of the building will be built with prefabricated modular panels. Having small panel dimensions, rather than entire units, eases transportation in containers holding dozels of panels at a time. All bedrooms and living spaces throughout the building, except for studio units, are designed have identical dimensions: the floor plan of a one-bedroom unit grows incrementally by just adding identical bedrooms and extending the back hallway.

Figure 31: Vertical Alignment of Utilities & Modular Construction To reduce the bending of pipelines and electrical lines, all bathrooms and kitchens are vertically aligned throughout the building, even in instances where units are stacked in an interlocking pattern for aesthetic purposes. The vertical orientation of these utilities helps minimize the costs of inefficient pipelines. Incorporating modular construction in our design will help shorten the construction timeline and reduce construction costs.

SEMI-PERMEABLE PARKING SURFACE & FLOOD PREVENTION Many cities in the Bay Area have the tendency to suffer from flooding during hard rains. Because precipitation is not common in the Bay Area, the city is not prepared to sustain a hard rain, which happens occasionally and can damage buildings. Therefore, anything that a building can do performatively to prevent flooding is highly beneficial not only for itself but also for surrounding buildings. Our building has a semipermeable parking surface can help reduce water runoff substantially and absorbs excess water into the underground water table.

025


Stanford University

THE CORNER

Bank of America Merill Lynch

Figure 32: Semi-permeable Surface A permeable surface is cheaper than a normal surface because it uses less concrete, though it may require slightly more frequent maintenance. However, an additional benefit of having semi-permeable tiles is that they are easy to remove if pipelines under the parking lot ever require any service.

HYDROPONIC GREEN ROOF

Our building is a pioneer in EPA, as it introduces urban agriculture to the city as a means of enhancing residents’ quality of life with an equitable approach. The Corner will have 6,000 SF of hydroponic green roof space, which will be open to all residents. Each household has the opportunity to manage a piece of The Corner’s urban farm. This approach fosters socialization among residents by bringing many of them together in a common activity. Furthermore, it promotes a sense of ownership and accountability among residents who desire to have a personal green space, which is a rarity in most high-density multifamily buildings. Additionally, having an active roof helps prevent the proliferation of any illegal activity, and it generates a sense of agency and trust among all residents that their home is safe everywhere.

Figure 33: Hydroponic Green Roof All 6,000 SF of green roof are positioned right above the southeastern side of the building facing University Ave., which receives the most amount of sunlight throughout the year. By working as a natural insulator that absorbs solar heat, the hydroponic green roof helps reduce energy costs by cooling the warmest side of the building. A hydroponic agriculture system is more efficient than a traditional soil-based one. The Corner’s green roof does not require soil, and the little water it needs is circulated by extending pipelines from the building to the roof.

Figure 34: Solar Panels

P H OTOVO LTA I C S O L A R PA N E LS Our building’s roof also has 15,000 SF of photovoltaic solar panels, which reduce around 50% of the building’s electricity costs. The panels are aligned at East Palo Alto’s optimal angle of 38 degrees facing south. This alignment allows our panels to generate 10-20% more energy than they would otherwise.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY To minimize energy demand, we have tested numerous energy models considering the shape, building orientation, wall-window ratio in each direction, and material of each model on Insight. With the non-negotiable priorities of resident privacy and streetfront coverage in our design, the building’s current orientation gives the lowest energy use Intensity, which is estimated to be 20 % lower than the Architectural 2030 Benchmark (27.94 kBtu/sqft/yr).

STAnford graduate housing “I think it would be a gift to this community because families here need to know that they too can get to Stanford.” - Nevida Preston, EHP Stanford University’s on-campus housing offers special academic, cultural, social, and leadership programs which are called “themes.” While some residences feature intensive language and academic themes (e.g., French Language and Culture, Human Biology, Arts and Performing Arts), several others are dedicated toward a cause (e.g., Sustainability, Equity and Social Justice, Design Thinking). Students who want to live in a themed residence must go through a rigorous Pre-Assignment process before being admitted.

Photograph courtesy of Stanford Residential & Dining Enterprises Our team’s conviction is that residential education and other forms of informal learning are indispensable to an individual’s education. We wish to dedicate 40 housing units of the Corner to the theme of “Community” that will offer a living space to future students in an exchange for their service to the permanent residents of EPA. In the program, students will engage in experiences that will prepare them for a life of leadership and citizenship. Some of the activities that we envision include tutoring high-schoolers, assisting senior citizens and the homeless, fundraising, and improving the city’s aesthetics. Student residents will also be involved in crafting and managing the trajectory of the program in the future. Stanford graduate students will live in 25% (40) of The Corner’s dwelling units. Among these will be 10 one-bedroom, 10 two-bedroom, and 20 three-bedroom units, thereby totalling to 90 students living in the building. These units will be randomly distributed throughout the building in order to create a healthy and diverse community in the building. Students primarily involved in community engagement, social studies and development, education, and immediate primary healthcare will be given preference for this housing allotment. 028

As residents of The Corner, Stanford students will be active participants in the EPA community through their involvement in tutoring activities, social development events, and regional volunteering opportunities with local NGO’s like Ecumenical Hunger Program. Students interested in medicine may also provide immediate medical attention to residents whenever in need. Additionally, the students would also be involved with activities and extend assistance to The Ravenswood Family Health Center, Inc. The ultimate goal of providing Student housing is to generate a stronger bond between the Stanford community and EPA. Whether it is through tutoring or through a casual conversation in one of The Corner’s outdoor terraces, we believe that the connection between Stanford students and EPA’s residents is a crucial part of the city’s next chapter.

ECUMENICAL HUNGER PROGRAM EHP has been in business since 1975 as a community organization that offers compassionate and practical assistance to families and individuals experiencing economic and personal hardship. EHP offers material help, support services, and advocacy for the residents of EPA in a challenging and rapidly changing environment. The organization serves working families, seniors, people with limited incomes and those who have both emergency and on-going needs. Over the years, EHP has become the largest emergency food provider in EPA, Menlo Park, and surrounding communities. EHP has shown its enthusiasm to be a part of The Corner by setting up an office in the building and hosting outreach events several times throughout the year that involve all the residents in the building. Students living in The Corner will have the opportunity to volunteer for EHP and become a part of its outreach community.

The Finance OVERVIEW As a mixed-use development, this project’s financing structure is divided into two parts: residential and commercial. For residential, the majority of the funding will come from 4% tax credit equity, loans from Bank of America, Stanford’s Investment, and soft financing from the AHSC. 120 units (excluding 2 manager units) will be affordable, targeting residents from 30% to 60% AMI while 40 units are dedicated to student housing. The commercial component will be financed mostly through New Market Tax Credit, Dignity Health Loan, and permanent loans.

The calculation for self-scoring was performed according to the guidelines of the Federal and State Low Income Housing Tax Credit Laws (California Code of Regulations, Title 4, Division 17, Chapter 1 published in December 13,2017), established by California Tax Credit Allocation Committee Regulations. The Committee reserves the right to determine, on a case-by-case basis, under the unique circumstances of each funding round, and in consideration of the relative scores and ranking of the proposed projects, a project’s score to warrant a reservation of Tax Credits. Based on the history of points scored by successful applications, we strongly believe that our project exhibits a strong candidature for the tax credit. See Scoring Strategy in Appendix A for our scoring sheet. All efforts will be made in the application submission through a presentation of conclusive, documented evidence to the Executive Director‘s satisfaction which would include any additional information submitted in compliance with the regulations.

A 5% vacancy rate has been assumed and an average of $6,016 has been allocated for the operating expenses of each unit. We assumed replacement reserves of $ 600 / unit. »» Section 8 rents: $1.37 m / year 42 units (about 25%) qualifies for section 8 vouchers, which will provide us an additional amount of $1.37 m / year. We will use this amount to pay the Bank of America Term Loan. We are working with San Mateo county housing authority to get a 15-year term housing vouchers and possibly a 15-years extension as well. »» Student housing balance transfer: $100,000 / year The remainder money of the operating expenses from the student housing units will be used to maintain the DCR for the affordable units. This number can go up to $392,000 / year, which gives us a huge leverage in terms of financing and acts as a float in case we fail to secure any of the aforementioned grants.

FUNDING SOURCES »» New Market Tax Credit (NMTC): $3.70 m Because only a few projects get full allocation amount of the project development costs, we assumed the qualified equity investment (QEI) at $9.5 million. With this number, the project will be awarded $3.7 million of NMTC. The credit rate is assumed to be at $0.85 per credit. Therefore, the total equity that this project will received through NMTC is $3.7 million. »» Dignity Health Loan: $2.0 m As this project receives funding from NMTC, the capital received from Dignity Health will be in a form of 7-year interest only loan (at 4%). After 7 years, the project will either refinance or begin paying off the principal of the loan. This 7-year interest-only loan also helps ensure that the project’s cash flow is stabilized before we start to pay back the principal. We are confident that this amount of funding is possible as this project meets Dignity Health’s all five investment principles: to assist low-income communities, to revitalize urban or rural areas, to empower low-income people, to demonstrate a commitment to healthy communities, and to safeguard the environment. »» Bank Loan: $5.87 m Bank of America has given us feedback that bank loan will also be in a form of 7-year interest only loan, similar to Dignity Health’s loan. The interest rate for this loan is at 5.5% with the amortization period of 30 years.

O P E R AT I O N S We estimate to receive a total rent of $616,450 / year from the commercial space. A 10% vacancy has been considered along with $20,000 of operating expense. The net operating income will be used to pay off the Bank and the Digital health loan. Of the residual cash (after 36% share as incentive to the GP for operations), the LP gets 99.999% of the share and remaining goes to the GP.

The 1988 Prior Ordinance continues in effect for the purpose of regulating space rents and providing eviction protections for tenants in mobile home parks in East Palo Alto. In June 2010, 79% of East Palo Alto voters voted to renew this Ordinance. »» Below Market Rate Inclusionary Housing Program: In 2002, EPA launched The City of East Palo Alto Below Market Rate (BMR) Housing Program to create and retain a healthy stock of affordable housing in East Palo Alto for low and moderate- income households, with the goal of maintaining an economically integrated community. These BMR units are single family homes, condominiums, townhouses or apartments that are sold or rented at below market rate (“affordable” prices). BMR purchasers are selected from a qualified purchaser Waiting List maintained by the City of East Palo Alto. BMR units must be owner occupied and are subject to special rent and resale restrictions.

SHARED PARKING A number of studies have hypothesized about the oversupply of parking in areas with easy transit access. A 2006 study in small cities found that study sites achieve more benefit from a smaller amount of parking [1]. The method, occupancy count, revealed that every site had been oversupplied with parking even during peak hours. Especially, more than half of a control site had parking spaces vacant on the busiest day of the year. San Diego County’s Metropolitan Planning Organization (SANDAG), published a document on parking strategies and smart growth areas in the region in 2010 [2]. SANDAG found that typical parking requirements in the region may provide an excess supply of parking relative to demand documented in nationwide studies. Despite context-specific characteristics of a neighborhood, a 1998 study asserted similar findings [3].
