Appendix A: Affordable Housing Site Inventory Following is a brief summary of the various sites considered for the Affordable Housing Project. Each site is provided with a photo when available and a concise explanation that discusses issues like flooding, vegetation type, fire danger, infrastructure, site slope, geological stability and solar access. Most of these evaluations are based on the maps provided by Sonoma County PRMD, along with educated conclusions drawn after visiting the sites. In the few cases where the maps seem to be in conflict with the actual conditions seen on sites, the latter takes precedence. This summary helps to decide whether a particular site is suitable or unsuitable for the development of affordable housing. The sites and site conditions have also been tabulated in the Site Inventory Matrix. 14 While these sites have been identified as potential properties for development, the site inventory provides only an initial review and does not consult the owners or determine interest of the identified properties. This analysis does not assume development or redevelopment for each of the properties identified. Rather, it only identifies properties that may or may not be suitable for development upon agreement from a willing seller. In addition, any site omitted from the inventory does not preclude it from future consideration for affordable housing development. 14 Ten sites were obtained from Sonoma County PRMD, Planning Department. They are a result of the inventory conducted in the Russian River area in 2005. All these properties are currently zoned K and identified as suitable for conversion to SRO housing under current SRO ordinance provisions. Russian River Affordable Housing Alternatives Study 55
