The City requisitioned a study that took a small section of the area that Measure O would cover in order to show the opportunities that Measure O could offer. Here are the 458 units that they have projected could be built in that area. With an average of three people per unit, that is an addition 1374 residents in this small area.
Now the proponents of Measure O might argue that this would never happen yet they are asking voters for permission to let the City make that determination. Further, a beautiful presentation shows what the City could do if only the voters will allow. The report suggest policy levers such as increasing zoning to 65 units per acre and City funded subsidies to help developers pay for land.
These housing units are presumably for people who do not live here now. The plans are for one parking space per unit. Note that much of this building will be on areas currently used for parking. The study failed to address the impact on traffic and loss of parking to current residents.
