3 <br /> <br />The following factors and evidence for suitability for housing development during the planning <br />period were used as the basis for selecting the various sites, including non-vacant sites that <br />allow residential development and non-vacant sites to be re-zoned, suitable to accommodate <br />lower-income housing. In each case, the City finds that there is substantial evidence that the <br />existing use is likely to be discontinued and therefore does not constitute an impediment to <br />additional residential development during the period covered by the Housing Eleme nt: <br /> <br />1. Parcels not Examined for Suitability. Sites with existing uses that were not likely to be <br />discontinued during the planning period were eliminated from further consideration and not <br />examined for suitability including but not limited to: <br />a) Parcels in residential zones, developed with single family homes (except where <br />potential for redevelopment existed based on degree of utilization relative to allowable <br />density), condominiums, rental apartments, or mobile homes. <br />b) Parcels in Open Space Districts, subject to conservation easements or similar use <br />restrictions, or the provisions of hillside and ridgeline protection Measures PP/QQ. <br />c) Parcels with known historic resources, within resource management areas (e.g. parcels <br />owned by Zone 7) or known to have designated habitats or other environmental <br />constraints. <br />d) Parcels with recently entitled or constructed commercial projects . <br />e) Parcels with unique land uses such as City and regional parks, schools, government <br />offices (except where an agency indicated such use is proposed to be discontinued), <br />police/fire stations, library, sewage treatment plant, railways, right-of-way, waterways, or <br />utilities. <br />f) Parcels less than 0.5 acres in size. <br />g) Parcels with buildings developed after 1980, with limited exceptions. <br /> <br />2. All remaining parcels were examined for suitability, and the following categories of sites <br />determined suitable for inclusion in the inventory for lower-income housing, based on the <br />following facts and evidence: <br />
