RE: 2016 Building Permit Trends Report

Overview The primary focus of this report is to provide information regarding Lawrence building permits issued during 2016, as well as trends for Lawrence building permits compared to prior years (pages 2-9). It also compares Lawrence building permit data to regional Kansas jurisdiction permit data (pages 9-10) and to regional “Peer University Cities” permit data (pages 11-12). A chart comparing Lawrence to all Kansas regional jurisdictions and to Peer University Cities is found on page 12. Most of the charts, graphs and detailed information for Lawrence as compared to regional Kansas jurisdictions and Peer University Cities are provided in Appendices A (pages 13-17) and B (pages 18-23) to this report.

To compare Lawrence permit data to other jurisdiction permit data, staff surveyed nine (9) other regional Kansas permit-issuing jurisdictions, including, Baldwin City, Emporia, Eudora, Lenexa, Manhattan, Olathe, Overland Park, Salina and Topeka. Attempts to obtain 2016 building permit data from unincorporated Douglas County were unsuccessful. As a point of reference, the full-time U.S. Census data resident population for each jurisdiction (as of July 1, 2015) is shown in the following chart.

Staff also surveyed seven (7) regional Peer University Cities (350 mile radius of Lawrence) that have similar permanent resident populations, a major university similar in size to Kansas University and (except for Manhattan, KS and Fayetteville, AR) proximity to a larger metropolitan area (within 65 miles). Peer University Cities include: Stillwater, OK (Oklahoma State); Manhattan, KS (Kansas State); Ames, IA (Iowa State); Iowa City, IA (University of Iowa); Fayetteville, AR (University of Arkansas); Columbia, MO (University of Missouri); and Norman, OK (University of Oklahoma). The chart below compares Lawrence and Peer University Cities permanent resident populations and estimated university student populations.

Lawrence Building Permit Summaries and Observations During 2016, the number of Lawrence building permits issued was greater than or just slightly less than the number of permits issued during 2015 for every major building permit category, except for new single family permits (-17.5%, 161 to 137) and new duplex permits (-56.4%, 78 to 34). The 2016 total building permit valuation of $220,882,201 was just shy of the 2015 record annual valuation of $227,899,792 (that exceeded the prior annual record by over $50M). The 2016 building permit numbers for every major building category (including total annual permit valuation) exceeded both the rolling 5-year (2012-2016) and rolling 10-year (2007-2016) annual averages for Lawrence. Of note was the number of new

multifamily dwelling units permitted during 2016; the 1,205 new multifamily units permitted was by far the greatest number ever permitted in a single year in Lawrence, and the highest number since 1996 (when permits for 972 new units were issued). The below table summarizes Lawrence permit data for

2016, and for 2016 compared to 2015 and to the City’s 5-year and 10-year annual averages.

1City public projects for which permit fees are waived include permits for City owned facilities or properties and agencies under direct purview of the City of Lawrence, including Lawrence Memorial Hospital, the Lawrence Public Library and the Lawrence-Douglas County Housing Authority. Permit fees are not waived for county or state projects (including projects for Douglas County, USD 497, and University of Kansas projects under City of Lawrence jurisdiction). However, the City Commission authorized a 50% permit fee reduction for five (5) USD 497 School District Bond Project permits issued during 2015 and 2016.

2282 of the permits issued in 2016, 290 of the 320 public permits issued in 2015, and 103 of the 150 public permits issued in 2014 were plumbing or electrical permits for correction of private property sewer connection/discharge problems found in the Utilities Dept. sewer infiltration reduction program.

Lawrence Total Number of Permits Issued The trend in Lawrence’s total number of permits issued annually had been steadily decreasing since 2000, reaching a decade-long low of 1,998 in 2009. The number of annual permits trended up from the low in 2009 to 2,377 in 2012, but dropped again in 2013 and 2014. In 2014, the number of permits issued dropped to 1,930, the lowest level since 2000. However, the total annual number of permits issued increased in both 2015 and 2016, to 2,320 and 2,577, respectively. The total of 2,577 permits issued in 2016 was an 11.1% increase over 2015 and a 15.2% increase over the rolling 5-year annual average of 2,237 (2012 through 2016).

The 2012-2016 5-year annual average of 163.6 permits is 265.0 less than the 428.6 average annual number of new one- and two-family permits issued between 2000-2004 (the 5-year period with the highest average annual number of permits issued in the past 17 years).

Lawrence New Multi-Family Permits and Total New Dwellings In 2016, permits were issued for 1,205 new multifamily dwelling units in Lawrence, up 158.0% from the 467 new multifamily units permitted in 2015, and 153.9% greater than the 5-year annual average (2012-

2106) of 474.6 new multifamily dwelling units. The 1,205 new multifamily dwelling units permitted in 2016 was the highest number of new multifamily units ever permitted in a single year in Lawrence, and the highest number since 1996 (when permits for 972 new units were issued). Total dwelling units includes units of all types: single-family, duplex and multifamily (three or more units). The 1,410 new dwelling units permitted in 2016 was 79.8% greater than the total number of dwelling units permitted in 2015 (784), 111.7% greater than the total annual average number of new units permitted for the 5-year period between 2012-2016 (666.0), and 152.4% greater than the the total annual average number of new units permitted for the 10-year period between 2007-2016 (558.6).

The below chart shows the total number of commercial and residential remodel and addition permits issued annually over the last 10 years.

Lawrence Compared to Regional Kansas Jurisdictions Lawrence’s estimated 2016 population is the fourth largest among the 10 Kansas jurisdictions in this report. Lawrence population is half that of Overland Park, and about 70 percent of Olathe and Topeka. Manhattan population is 60 percent of Lawrence; Lenexa and Salina populations are each slightly over half of Lawrence; and Emporia population is just over one-fourth of Lawrence (see page 1 population table).

For 2016, Lawrence total permit valuation ranked fourth among Kansas jurisdictions, somewhat commensurate with its population ranking (fourth). However, compared to Olathe, Overland Park and Lenexa, each of which have seen significant, steady growth in permit valuation over the past five (5) years, Lawrence 2016 permit valuation was only 37% of Overland Park 2016 permit valuation, 41% of Olathe 2016 permit valuation and 68% of Lenexa 2016 permit valuation. Lawrence 2016 permit valuation was 69% higher than 2016 Manhattan permit valuation, and 38% higher than 2016 Topeka permit valuation. Lawrence one-year percentage change in total valuation from 2015 to 2016 (-3.1%) ranked Lawrence near the bottom among Kansas jurisdictions, above only Olathe (-32.2%) and Eudora (-18.9%). Manhattan saw a one-year change of 25.8%, and Topeka saw a one-year change of 16.7%. However, Lawrence’s 2016 percentage change over its rolling 5-year annual valuation average (34.5%) was second highest among the 10 Kansas jurisdictions, trailing only Salina (77.8%).

In 2016, Lawrence issued the third highest total number of permits among Kansas jurisdictions, generally commensurate with its population ranking. Lawrence’s percentage change from 2015 to 2016 for total permits issued (11.1%) was the fourth highest among Kansas jurisdictions; Lawrence’s 2016 percentage change over its 5-year annual average (15.2%) was third highest.

In 2016, Lawrence’s number of new one- and two-family permits issued (171) was somewhat commensurate with Lawrence’s population ranking among Kansas jurisdictions (Olathe and Overland Park issued about 3 times and 2.5 times as many new one- and two-family permits, respectively). The Lawrence 2015 to 2016 percentage change of -28.5% ranked low among Kansas jurisdictions, above only Salina (-33.8%) and Eudora (-33.3%). Other jurisdictions reporting 2015 to 2016 decreases included Baldwin City (-20.0%), Lenexa (-19.0%) and Manhattan (-17.5%). The highest 2015 to 2016 percentage increases were seen in Overland Park (14.7%), Topeka (13.8%) and Olathe (12.1%). Lawrence’s 2016 4.5% increase over its rolling 5-year annual average (2012-2016) was the sixth highest among Kansas jurisdictions (Emporia and Baldwin City had the highest percentage increases over their 5-year rolling averages at 54.8% and 53.8%, respectively). Eudora, Manhattan and Salina saw the greatest decreases for 2016 as compared to their rolling 5-year annual average at -34.8%, -26.6% and -25.6%, respectively.

New Multi-Family Units Permitted – Peer University Cities Per U.S. Census data, the overall homeownership rate for the Midwest Region of the United States was 69.8% in

2015. As shown in the table on page 2, the U.S. Census Bureau 20011-2015 homeownership rate for Lawrence

was 45.9%, which is in the middle of homeownership rates among the eight (8) Peer University Cities (the highest rate being for Norman at 55.8%, and the lowest being for Stillwater at 37.3%). When compared to the Midwest

Region average, lower homeownership rates in Lawrence and Peer University Cities suggest that the number of new multifamily (MF) dwelling units constructed annually is relevant data to track and compare among Peer Cities.

Stillwater (38.8%, 276 to 383 MF units) and Ames (27.9%, 359 to 459 MF units). Columbia was the only Peer City reporting a 2015 to 2016 decrease in number of new MF units permitted (-41.1%, 615 to 363 MF units).

In 2016, Lawrence’s number of new MF units (1,205) was 153.9% greater than its rolling 5-year annual average of

474.6 (2012-2016). Only Manhattan (661 MF units in 2016) had a higher percentage increase for 2016 compared to its 5-year annual average (237.2% above its 5-year average of 196 units). Other Peer Cities with increases

were: Iowa City (896 MF units in 2016, 82.7% above 490.4 unit average); Fayetteville (973 MF units in 2016, 78.7% above 544.4 unit average); Norman (993 MF units in 2016, 58.7% above 625.6 unit average); Stillwater
