SOUTH SHATTUCK
FRAGILITY IN THE FACE OF DEVELOPMENT
Lucie Charles I Sophie Maguire I Chris Neil I Molly Schmidt I Olivia Walker [IN]CITY 2013
The Edge: Dwight and Shattuck
Conceptualizing Contrast along Shattuck Avenue
Shattuck Avenue has always been a major artery into Downtown Berkeley. Recent plans to revitalize the
Berkeley area do not encompass Shattuck south of Dwight creating, a north/south contrast along the
Shattuck corridor. This area is characterized by multiple vacancies that open new opportunities for devel-
opment. Current South Shattuck residents, businesses and landowners lack a cohesive voice in the area.

the urban analytique was an intensive exercise in planning
research methods, which integrated traditional site
research with field observation, data gathering, and
graphic representation. through the combination of site
visits, data analysis, document review, and geospatial
analysis the group investigated the physical, social,
institutional, and economic context of particular areas
in the city of berkeley.
the project was truly collaborative in nature, with all
members taking part in the investigation, research,

Median Housing Unit Value Types of Owners
Residents
Need for affordable housing in the area calls for advocacy. Many residents are new to the area and do not have a vested interest in the
neighborhood; the transient nature of housing may affect the neighborhoods ability to fnd a cohesive voice.
Haakon Thallaug
Owner of Viking Trader Furniture
Weve been here for 25 years...I didnt know about that
residential development [on Dwight]...any new devel-
opment would be gladly welcomed...A few businesses
in the area tried to start a sort of business association a
few years back, but it didnt really work out...owners are
more concerned about their independence...
Graduate Student
Living on Dwight at Shattuck
Enough market value housing! We need affordable
housing for students...Im not afraid to have low income
housing in the neighborhood...[it] would create more of
a community.
Lillian
Womens Shelter Resident
Developers have fantasies of peoples salaries in the
neighborhood...[they] will just push out low income
residents... HUDs budget should be going towards
affordable housing...

Lili
Owner of salon
I dont think anything is going to change... Nothing
has changed since 1968.
Tenants Rights Organization
on landowner Reza Valiyee
Reza Valiyee is one of Berkeleys largest landlords...
he owns 23 properties in the City of Berkeley...Valiyee,
who has been cited numerous times for failing to meet
housing code, has been a signifcant drain on the
citys resources for many years... Valiyee has a long
history of stalling on city-mandated repair.
Business Owners
Apathy towards establishing a united voice may result in businesses being picked off one by one by developers. - DBA
Landowners
Lack of interest in community development allows for developers to have more agency over the nature of proposed development.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2701 Shattuck Avenue is a proposed mixed-use development at the corner of Shattuck Avenue and Derby Street in Berkeley, CA. The site is roughly 12,000 square feet and located at the southern end of the Shattuck Avenue commercial corridor. The site is zoned C-SA, for South Area Commercial. The last use of the site was an automobile dealership. The site is fairly flat and is currently a paved parking lot with a small, non- descript single story building.
The developer proposes to create a new, dynamic, mixed-use project on this site with 70 residential units (65 studio apartments and 5 one bedroom apartments) above a street-level commercial podium structure with 42 parking spaces and a 4,500 square foot restaurant.
The project is designed to create a safe and lively urban experience at this corner and in the larger South Shattuck Avenue area. The street level restaurant is a large and attractive space designed to accommodate a noteworthy restaurateur. The unusually wide sidewalk along Shattuck will be improved to create a long-desired high-end sidewalk dining experience in Berkeley and help to make this corner location a Berkeley landmark.
After meetings with the Design Review Committee, City Planning Staff, and local neighbors, the developer and designers made extensive changes to the design of the project to better reflect the scale of the residential neighborhood to the east of the property. This most recent design eliminates the mezzanine and lowers the podium level by 6 feet so that the east side podium wall can be lowered from 18 feet to 12 feet, the maximum height of the building on the east side can be lowered by 6 feet, and a 5th level can be added to the Shattuck (west) side of the building. The new 5th level has seven residential units which subsequently increased in height by 5 feet along Shattuck Avenue. By adding the 5th floor units on the Shattuck side we are able to subtract six units from the east side, allowing us the ability to step the massing back at every residential level on that side. This significantly reduces the massing on the side of the building facing the adjacent residential neighborhood.
As has been the case from the first iteration of this project, the modular-residential units that sit atop the commercial podium do so in completely separate masses, none of which has a footprint larger than 4,000 square feet. These masses are separated by 5 feet for circulation between the buildings and on the east side there are two large open space areas of 14-6 wide giving even further relief to the massing of the building facing the residential neighborhood.
A core component of our design is the creation of outdoor spaces which foster social interaction and are easy to for our residents to access and use in the course of their busy lives. To that end, all of our open spaces are integrated into our vertical and horizontal circulation systems. The open space system has three components. (i) A 1,800 square foot courtyard at the residential podium level, where residents can both circulate and con- gregate. (ii) Exterior vertical and horizontal circulation systems which provide access to the residential units above the podium and create a series of nooks where residents can interact (ii) and fifth level gathering spaces. The multilevel open spaces provide urban sanctuaries for residents and, on the fifth floor, add a level of privacy along the paths of circulation.
Other features include a 240 square foot bike locker storage room and an 800 square foot community room. The entire project will be designed and built to the US Green Building Councils LEED Silver standards or equivalent and reflect a commitment to energy saving green design construction and systems.

The Bay Area has long been fueled by tremendous levels of growth of its diverse population. By 2040, an additional 2.1 million
people will call the region home. Providing housing options that are affordable and equitable to all residents will be central to
envisioning a sustainable future. This report highlights the diversity of housing issues across the Bay Area through four case
studies, chosen by the Association of Bay Area Governments, assessing existing local equitable housing conditions and policy
with an eye towards accomodating future growth.

For this client project the group assessed the existing
conditions and need for fair and affordable housing in
four bay area cities. using regional plans, city general
plans, and interviews with community representatives, we
identified the main factors influencing fair and
affordable housing in each city. we then visualized these
factors by designing and creating maps that grouped
together related factors, revealing the intricacies of
housing challenges. our findings helped the association
of bay area governments (abag) decide how funds
affecting housing issues would be allocated within the
bay area.
the following boards were presented to abag as a
culmination of the project.
The primary challenge in Napa County is that wages and rent do not
match up. If people that work here could live here, that would
definitely improve the quality of life.
All of your other locations are job hubs, Vallejo is not a job hub.
People are not commuting into Vallejo, they are commuting out.
The main communities we serve are immigrant communities and then
dealing with cases of disability based discrimination. For
disability-based discrimination we usually deal with fighting for
reasonable accomodations for these individuals.
In total numbers, seniors with disabilities are most often found in
western neighborhoods and in the lowest income census tracts in the
Tenderloin, SOMA, Western Addition, and Chinatown.
-San Francisco Analysis of Impediments
Mountain View, representative of a mediumcity with a
strong market, has a growing population with a high percentage
of employment in the information and tech fields. The primary
housing equity issues revolve around the dominant tech
industry in the area and the resulting income gap.
Napa, on the rural end of the spectrum, is characterized by
its tourist and viticulture markets; however, affordable housing
is limited for those working in the tourismsector. Resulting fair
housing issues include overcrowding, a high dissimilarity index
for the Hispanic/Latino communities, and denials based on
familial status.
The Western Addition of San Francisco has a dense
population with relatively low-income households, as well as
a large number of senior and disabled residents. The area is
one of the main beneficiaries of public assistance for affordable
housing. The rising costs of construction hinder building
maintenance, in addition to the necessary rehabilitation of
deteriorating stock.
Vallejo, a mediumcity, is one of the most diverse
communities of the Bay Area. It was one of hardest-hit
cities during the recession, and the largest California city to
declare bankruptcy in 2008. Impediments to increased
affordable housing reflect its previous economic downturn and
concentrations of racially segregated areas of poverty.
City-Identified Impediments
HUD requires applicants for the Sustainable Communities Grant to produce
an Analysis of Impediments (AI), including:
1. Reviewof a State or Entitlement jurisdictions laws, regulations, and
administrative policies, procedures, and practices
2. Howexisting lawaffects the location, availability, and accessibility of
housing
3. An evaluation of conditions, both public and private, affecting fair
housing choice for all protected classes
4. An assessment of the availability of affordable, accessible housing in a
range of unit sizes.

Accessibility to transportation and the

"The main communities we serve I would say are immigrant
communities and then dealing with cases of disability
based discrimination. For disability-based discrimination we
usually deal with fighting for reasonable accommodations for
these individuals."
"Housing market levels have gone up significantly for
everyone and especially in Mountain View. Landlords are
taking advantage of this gap in the market through
predatory habitability meaning that landlords take advantage
of people they know don't have the ability to fight back."
"Mountain View is a higher income area than the other areas
we serve. We serve the very low and moderately low income
residents in the area. The median income in Mountain View is
around $101,000; so, we serve those who make below 50%
of that."

Similar to the rest of the Bay Area, rent is high in
Mountain View. Affordable housing is concentrated
in areas of lowincome. Dense populations with
higher income create the income gap that has begun
to characterize the Mountain Viewcommunity.
Mountain Viewis a culturally diverse community.
Despite this diversity, the area still has concentrated
racial populations. LowEnglish proiciency is also a
barrier to accessing housing rights.
Major tech industries define the job market in
Mountain View. Though these high income jobs skew
the housing market, leaving vulnerable populations in
the area such as disabled and elderly residents to face
major barriers inding suitable housing.

People working in other areas and living in Vallejo
has created a huge problem with economic disparity
in Vallejo because it's not indigenous. We desperately
need an industry here.
"One of the impediments to providing more affordable
housing is the community is very against it, over the
years it has gotten a bad name. There is a lot of room
for education."
"There is a decent amount of
affordable housing in Vallejo,
but there is always a need
for more. We have a pretty
big homeless population... Ive
worked in other areas, but
the strong opinion against
affordable housing from the
community here is the most Ive
seen."

AH & Minority Concentrations
Median Income & Development Median Gross Rent
Education & Median Home Value
Transit & Employment
Planned and prospective
residential developments
are located on the periphery
of high income and rent
areas. This trend reflects
the NIMBY (Not In My
Backyard) sentiment. It is
difficult to find support for
high and mediumdensity
residential developments
because of strict zoning
ordinances.
Vallejos affordable
housing is concentrated in
areas inhabited by the
African American,
Hispanic, and Asian
communities. These areas
are located near bus lines
connecting residents to jobs
outside of Vallejo. Residents
are employed outside of
Vallejo due to a lack of
industry.
Home Loan Denial
Vallejos well-performing
schools correspond to
areas of higher home value.
These are also areas where
minorities experience
a significantly larger
amount of home loan
denials relative to their
white neighbors, proving
that higher income areas
have a NIMBY mindset.

It really just depends what your population is that determines
what kind of discrimination you face. With our county being
agricultural, we have a lot of undocumented immigrants
because of the nature of the industries that are provided. That is
why we deal mainly with national origin and familial status
complaints.
Napa is a service-oriented place, so we have a lot of people that
work in hospitality. They make decent money, but not enough
to live in a place like Napa. People should be able to live near
where they work, its that simple.
The primary challenge in Napa County is that wages and rent
do not match up. If people that work here could live here, that
would definitely improve the quality of life.

English Proficiency Loan Inequality
Dissimilarity & AH
Concentrations of lowincome residents and available
affordable housing are located in the downtown area.
These residents are most likely to be traveling outside
of the downtown area to their jobs in the agricultural
or service industries. Areas of higher median income
and rent are more prevalent the farther one travels
fromdowntown.
Napa is characterized by its fairly large Hispanic and
Latino communities. These communities are
geographically concentrated in the downtown area
where the majority of affordable housing exists. The
downtown area is served by an efficient bus system
connecting Napa to neighboring cities.
A high percentage of Hispanic residents do not have
English proficiency. Because of the language
barrier, awareness of fair housing rights is low.
However, even when aware of fair housing rights,
residents fear issuing complaints due to limited rental
affordable housing. Similarly, it is more difficult for
minority residents to obtain home ownership loans,
perhaps due to various degrees of
discrimination.

Gaps Opportunities Considerations
Each of the four case studies provide a framework for looking at diverse housing issues in the Bay Area,
highlighting local examples of gaps in housing equity that are representative of the entire region. Our analysis of
these gaps has offered a lens specific to each case study, through which opportunities for future development may
be examined.
