Dear Mr. Magi:
Re'
Request for Proposal - Municipal
Housing Statement Update for
the Town of Pickerin~
In response to your invitation for a written proposal to undertake a
Municipal Housing Statement Update, we are pleased to enclose our
submission for the study.
We are proposing that the project will be managed by Mr. Peter Walker,
M.C.I.P., Partner; research responsibility will be assumed by Mr. B.
Fitzpatrick, M.C.I.P., Senior Associate. Both have the necessary
skills and experience to produce a Comprehensive evaluation and analy-
sis of existing and future housing needs and requirements. Mr. Walker
is very familiar with the Town of Picketing based on a wide variety of
recent planning work including involvement on behalf of the Town in the
the Town Centre and on behalf of private development interests through-
out the Study Area. Mr. Fitzpatrick has extensive housing experience
having prepared Housing Policy studies in Ontario in the past. Mr.
Fitzpatrick was employed by CMHC in the Oshawa office so he is familiar
with the housing market in the Town of Picketing and Durham Region as a
whole.
The accompanying submission provides information which we believe is
sufficient for the Town to make a decision as to the appropriateness of
the proposal and our suitability for the task, namely:

1. INTRODUCTION
The Town of Pickering is in a unique situation due to its proximity to
Metropolitan Toronto and the impact this large population base has on an
adjoining smaller community, particularly with regard to housing and land
development. Recently, the housing field has been characterized by unpre-
dictable trends due to swings in interest rates, changes in economic condi-
tions and shifts in housing demand due to demographic changes. All these
factors make it difficult to analyze local housing market trends precise-
ly. They also make it difficult to project activity, even over a short
period of five years.
Nevertheless, public sector officials and local Councils must responsibly
plan for and meet the housing needs of the community. Management by crisis
is the alternative and this approach is proven to be unacceptable in terms
of meeting housing needs. So, despite the numerous pitfalls, it is
necessary to analyze local housing market activity and project this acti-
vity into the near future, ar least. The terms of reference for this study
provide a good basis to undertake this analysis and we propose to adhere to
the framework outlined, with some amendments, which we submit will yield a
more dynamic and valuable product. In essence, a housing market analysis
will be utilized, based on demand and supply factors. We feel housing is
characterized by a series of sub-markets based on population, income and
tenure demands as well as the type, price and size of unit being supplied.
Our approach will be to identify sub-markets within this framework to
identify needs and gaps in supply.
1.1 Designated Area
In our consideration of the terms of reference, we recognize that the
designated area for study is the Town of Pickering, including the hamlets
of Claremont and Greenwood and the proposed Seaton Community. We will
acknowledge that Seaton may come into existence; however, to the extent
that it remains an unknown, we submit that the area and its development
should be part and parcel of a later study, either by way of an Official
-2-
Plan review or reconsideration of the Municipal Housing Study strategy.
Our proposal will, of course, include consideration of the hamlets insofar
as they provide for a limited portion of current and future housing
requirements.
1.2 Housing Market Analysis
The emphasis in this section will be on population, demographic and income
characteristics and their projection over the study period.
1.2.1 Demand Factors
The following elements will be considered in assessing the Town's
existing and future housing requirements:
· An analysis of assessed population as available from the
Provincial assessment office {current, historically, i.e., past 5
years) and projections for the next five years for the following
age groups: 0-19 years, 20-55 years, and 55 years+.
We have suggested that a 20-55 cohort be examined rather than a
20-59 cohort in order to more clearly identify possible future
demand for and requirements for senior citizen accommodation within
the Town.
· An analysis of the number of family and non-family households and
average number of persons per household for the current year and
the past five years.
· A projection of the number of households and average number of
persons per household based on an agreed upon range of population
estimates.
We suggest that any assumptions made regarding populaton change will
have to be identified and agreed upon at the outset to avoid any
difficulty or confusion in subsequent portions of this study.
Currently the Town continues to apply a uniform population of 3.5
persons per unit, regardless of unit type. Clearly, this basic
assumption will be assessed with a comprehensive review of
population/unit availability.
1.2.2
The following elements will be considered in assessing the Town's
existing and future housing demands:
· A survey and analysis of various economic factors that may affect
housing demand in the Town as suggested in the Terms of Reference.
· An analysis of past (last 5 years), current and future trends in
family and household income by age of household head.
This is one area where it must be recognized that census information
will be utilized to provide an overall estimate which is not
directly applicable to housing demand factors and the analysis of
population from Provincial assessment sources. We do not see this
to be problematical since the study requirements are essentially
that of providing a generalized examination of population and income
ranges.
An analysis of accommodation costs as suggested in the Terms of
reference. We would suggest that analysis of rents and prices be
more appropriately studied under supply rather than demand.
Demand should focus on incomes and population characteristics in
our view.
An analysis of the affordability of housing (ownership and rental)
provided by the private sector (new and resale) for the 20-55 and
55+ cohorts with the requisite assumptions to be provided via the
Consumer Finance Survey available through Statistics Canada and
local C.M.H.¢. rental survey and market reports·
A projection of the number, type, tenure and cost of housing most
likely to be demanded by households of a given size, type and
income.
The comparison between prices, costs and incomes, we submit should
follow the demand-supply analysis of the market rather than be
outlined in the demand section of the study.
1.3 The Questionnaire
The Terms of Reference speak clearly to the need to undertake an Assisted
Housing Survey of all senior citizen households and tenant families. We
propose to adhere to the requirements of the Terms of Reference, in terms
of distribution of questionnaires, newspaper advertising, public meetings,
analysis of questionnaires and related activities such as evaluation of
locations for seniors housing, survey Of other municipalities in terms of
public programs and review of waiting lists.
It is anticipated that during the advertisement period (4 weeks) there will
be ongoing work in the assembly and analysis of information and production
of summary statistics to be available for presentation to the public
meeting.
Social service agencies and government agencies responsible for housing
(e.g., Durham Region Housing Authority, C.M.H.C.) will be contacted to
obtain any information they might have which would be of use to this study.
Neighbouring municipalities in Durham will be surYeyed in an effort to
identify the ese of current government housing ~rograms and their success
in meeting targeted need groups.
With regard to the cost of this survey, we propose that mailing costs for
the questionnaire be assumed by the Town due to budget constraints for this
project. All other costs related to the administration of the survey will
be included in the study costs.
1.4 Housing Supply Factors
The Town's current housing stock, age and rate of construction activity
will be examined for the current year and the past five years. The Town
already maintains up-to-date summaries of permit issues and subdivision
activity which will be invaluable in assessing housing start activity by
unit type and location.
To ensure consistency with the current Community Improvement Policy
(C.I.P.) work presently underway, and to avoid unnecessary duplication, we
would suggest that the examination of the quality of the current housing
stock and potential for upgrading could be dealt with by way of an informa-
tion exchange between consultants. Given the timing for the C.I.P. work
and the likely start-up of this project (September) there should De suffi-
cient time available for this information to be collected and maOe avail-
able. In the event that this arrangement cannot be achieved, we are
prepared to conduct the examination and have prepared our budget estimate
to either include or exclude time necessary for field work, and analysis.
Rental vacancy rates and average rents by unit type will be compiled with
information available from the C.M.H.C. housing analyst in Oshawa.
A survey of the supply of assisted housing will be undertaken including OHC
units, co-operative housing units, non-profit projects and rent supplement
units.
Current proposals and planned residential communities will be examined to
provide an up-to-date assessment of the amount and types of housing
potentially available within the Town. Potential for infilling will also
be considered.
We have assumed that servicing of currently designated residential lands
will not be a constraint to development; however, consideration will be
given to the likelihood of servicing extensions to various portions of the
Town. We expect that this information will be made available via the
Town's Works Department and the Region of Durham.
With regard to housing quality, we suggest that census data be utilized to
assess, age, condition, quality and units in need of repair. We will note
any "R.R.A.P. or N.I.P." areas and assess the use of these programs. We
will also review the O.H.R.P. experience in Picketing to assess its
success. Reference has been made to the work now underway for Community
Improvement Policies and the need to avoid duplication with regard to
housing condition and quality analysis.
(
1.5 Comparison of Housing Demand and Supply Factors
A draft report outlining the findings of our work will be presented to
staff of the Town and the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. We
suggest that this report be subject to review by the Town and Ministry for
a period not exceeding two weeks, with a final report to Council to be
presented as soon as possible thereafter.
Phase I of the study is directed to an analysis of demand and supply market
factors. Demand factors include population, household type and size, age
profile, tenure and income. Supply side factors include number of housing
starts by type, tenure, price for ownership and rental by unit type, size
and tenure. The availability of serviced land is also relevant as is the
absorption rate for serviced land on an annual basis; that is how much raw
land is serviced, how many plans are draft approved, registered, and how
many lots are 'sold' or absorbed by the local market annually.
A comparison of demand and supply side factors allows the analyst to deter-
mine gaps in the housing market, for example, where demand exceeds supply.
Problems of affordability can be identified by comparing prices of units
and incomes and making assumptions about the appropriate shelter ratios a
household should pay for rental or ownership housing. In addition, targets
can be established by analysis of demand factors over a specific time
frame. The following approach is outlined below to address these issues.
1.6 Phase II Housing Strate~ Statement
1.6.1 Housin9 Production Targets
a)
Analysis of population projections will indicate which age group,
household type and size will increase over the study period. We can
also establish incomes for various groups using 1981 Census data.
This analysis will suggest which type of housing is required to meet
this demand. For example, if the population projection suggests
b)
c)
that a large number of family households will be forming with three
persons or mo~' between the ages of 20-55, then this may ..suggest a
high demand for ownership units.
A comparison of the current income levels of population groups that
will increase and the price of units being offered will indicate
where affordability problems or gaps will be experienced. Again,
assumptions about shelter ratios are relevant here for ownership or
rental. We will utilize the standard C.M.H.C. ratios of 25% of
income for rental and 30% for ownership.
In summary, we will review our population projections to identify
growth points in the population over the next five years; we will
make some assumptions about the type, tenure, size of units various
groups will require based on historical experience in the Town; we
will make some assumptions about income levels of these groups based
on 1981 census data and indexing these incomes over the next five'
years; we will then examine supply side factors to assess whether
enough units of the appropriate type, tenure and size and price are
being provided and we will assess affordability by comparing prices
and incomes utilizing appropriate shelter ratios for rental or
ownership.
d)
The study will suggest "action plans" to resolve these gaps or areas
where future demand appears to outstrip the current supply being
generated. In addition, where a unit type or tenure type being sup-
plied appears to be unaffordable or too expensive we will identify
these and suggest plans to resolve these problems. Use of public
sector supply programs may be proposed, such as non-profit housing
or incentives to the private sector may be suggested to bring costs
down. This may involve tax breaks, levy reductions, deferred fees
and charges, etc. To be specfic about this plan of action we will
specify a problem or need, for example, lack of rental units at a
certain price range for young family households of two people and
propose an course of action to encourage the provision of rental
units of this type and at an appropriate price.
It may appear that there is a lack of single family lots and units
being supplied for young families of three or four persons who
likely will demand ownership housing. Our analysis of land supply,
draft plan approvals and building permit activity and house prices
will indicate if an adequate supply and price level is being
provided to meet demand from this group over the next five years.
Again, a program or courses of action will be proposed to bring lots
and units on stream at an affordable price level.
1.6.2 Summar~ Report
As suggested, a summary report of this market analysis will be
prepared and a strate~Lv statement outlined to identify gaps between
demand and supply and affordability.
The survey results will be incorporated into this analysis for the
two groups (seniors and rental households) and recommendations will
be made as to the number of units required by each group over the
study period. Programs or measures to provide these units will be
reviewed and a course of action recommended. We note recent
announcements about changes in the structure of government assisted
housing in Canada and we will monitor this closely during the study
period. It appears that the Provinces may assume more of a "lead
role" than C.M.H.C. with regard to low-income housing programs and
new measures such as housing allowances may emerge to stimulate the
demand side of the market. These new developments will have to be
monitored to ensure the study recommendations are relevant and
timely.
2. SCHEDULE AND BUDGET
We propose that the entire study will be completed within six months from
commencement. The enclosed table provides a breakdown of timing and a
proposed scheduling of activity. We understand that the Town will make
application to the Ministry for funding upon selection of a consultant.
The entire cost of the study is estimated to be $9,800, if all work
(including the inventory appraisal) is to be completed by this consultant.
Should the material and analysis from the C.I.P. study be available, we
would estimate the cost for the study to be $9,500.
2.1 Personnel
Mr. Peter Walker, M.C.I.P., Principal
The study team will be led by by Peter Walker, M.C.I.P., Senior Partner in
the firm. He has extensive planning experience in Picketing and Durham
