Existing Housing Entitlements •Diversity of Product & Incoherent Form •Diversity of price point •Potential Land Use conflicts = lower price point NOTE: Spatial chaos and potential instability leads to weakening of price point advantage Housing Plan: Emerging Markets • Based on entitlements secured by existing landowners, the character of Westlake is likely to change over the coming years, as the town transforms into a mixed-use center. • The current housing stock attracts only a particular set of mature professional households. • Given Westlake’s quality schools, open space, topography, and access to employment, the town will begin to attract a variety of household types. • Market Trends support more diverse demand Existing Entitlements Steering Committee July 16, 2014 Housing Plan: Emerging markets Economic Demographics • The Westlake area is within a 30- minute drive of over 108 million square feet of office space. • This strong access, along with future employment growth in Westlake, supports a more diverse set of housing options. Major Employment Cores: Westlake, TX Area SOURCE: CoStar; RCLCO 3 1 2 4 5 Steering Committee July 16, 2014 Housing Plan: Emerging markets Current Westlake Housing Offerings • New home offerings in the Westlake area appeal to a narrow set of mature professional households. • Planned commercial uses will lead to more diverse housing offerings over the long-term, and attracting the highest quality employers will require it. New Home Offerings in Vaquero: Westlake, TX Steering Committee July 16, 2014 Housing Plan: Emerging Markets Executive Housing Corridor Summary • As the Westlake area continues its buildout and adds commercial uses, it will likely emerge as one of the premier executive housing corridors in the Metroplex. Median Home Value by Block Group: Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex SOURCE: ESRI Steering Committee July 16, 2014 Housing Plan: Emerging markets Executive Housing Corridor Summary • About 90% of Westlake's affluent households are between 35 and 64 • Unlike other executive housing corridors, the Westlake area attracts a limited amount of young professionals and retirees. Households Earning over $200K by Age: Dallas Executive Housing Corridors SOURCE: ESRI Note: Westlake Executive Housing Corridor includes areas within a 15-minute drive of Westlake Town Hall. 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% Under 25 25-34 35-44 45-54 55-64 65-74 75 and over Westlake Plano Las Colinas Central Dallas Steering Committee July 16, 2014 Housing Plan: Emerging Markets Executive Housing Corridor Summary • Given the planned addition of several million square feet of commercial uses, Westlake will likely have more diverse housing. • The addition of new commercial property will support greater product diversity. Steering Committee July 16, 2014 Housing Plan: Emerging Markets New Home Demand Summary Northeast Fort Worth Submarket SOURCE: MetroStudy Steering Committee July 16, 2014 Housing Plan: Emerging Markets New Home Demand Summary Annual New Home Demand: Northeast Fort Worth Submarket: 2015 – 2030 SOURCE: ESRI; MetroStudy; RCLCO 0 3 107 594 340 606 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 Less than $150K $150,000 - $199,999 $200,000 - $249,999 $250,000 - $349,999 $350,000 - $499,999 $500,000 and above • Given that the majority of new home demand in the Northeast Fort Worth area is concentrated at prices below $500K. • However, by embracing alternative product types that maximize land value, the area will be able to attract a greater variety of affluent households (premium pricing with close proximity to employment core), while more value-priced products can be accommodated in areas to the north and west of Westlake. Westlake Target Households Employee Housing outside of Westlake Steering Committee July 16, 2014 Housing Plan: Emerging Markets New Home Demand Summary Annual New Home Demand Summary: Northeast Fort Worth Submarket, Homes Priced over $500K SOURCE: U.S. Census; RCLCO • Westlake’s quality of life will appeal to a variety of affluent market segments currently underrepresented in the area. • As commercial development intensifies, the Westlake area will also attract a larger proportion of affluent households without children. Steering Committee July 16, 2014 Housing Plan: Emerging Markets New Home Demand Summary Existing Westlake Households and Annual New Home Demand: Incomes over $200K, Homes Priced over $500K SOURCE: ESRI; MetroStudy; RCLCO • Affluent young professionals, empty-nesters, and retirees will be drawn to Westlake after commercial uses are added. • The inclusion of a diverse set of products will allow the town to capture these affluent households, and will help the town avoid traditional subdivision development. 3 64 34 17 71 109 44 54 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 Young Families (25-34)Mature Professionals (35-54)Empty-Nesters (55-64)Retirees (65+) Existing Westlake HH, Incomes over $200K Annual New Home Demand: North of Sotuhlake Blvd. Potential households attracted to Westlake with alternative product preferences Potential households attracted to Westlake with alternative product preferences Steering Committee July 16, 2014 Housing Plan: Market/ Policy Dilemma 1.Previous data establishes that emerging markets will include demand for more diversified housing products/ options. 2.Existing entitlements allow for accommodation of market demand but pattern of entitlements is not planned overall. 3.Right-to-Travel: Construction Industry Association vs. Petaluma California (1974) = refusal of projects on any basis that could be construed as elimination of housing by price is a violation of the constitutionally protected “Right-to-Travel”. 4.Unplanned emergence of market diversification weakens sub-markets that already exists. Steering Committee July 16, 2014 Housing Plan: Housing Objectives 1.Preserve value in a changing context: What is necessary to assure that Westlake continues to capture the higher-end market? Education, amenity, and context associations are essential to preservation of value. 2.Diversify the higher-income market to attract younger buyers: What can Westlake do to get more of these buyers in Town? They are buying nearby, but not in Westlake given the lack of product diversity. They are seeking quality in product and place, but not necessarily large lots. 3.Meet future housing needs of an aging population: How does Westlake provide high-quality products to accommodate life stage changes? Must they leave the community? 4.Mitigate value encroachment: As Westlake grows toward 170 and Keller, how do we keep this from eroding value overall by generating lesser comps?

Steering Committee July 16, 2014 Housing Plan: Residential Distribution Westlake Submarkets Steering Committee July 16, 2014 The configuration of sub markets (sub- markets strung out along Dove Road) without spatial definition will only corrupt each other. By a logical array about the Town Common, the sub markets can co exist and overall value is preserved.
