Don Temeyer, Community Planning and Development Director, reviewed the proposed Housing
Tax Credit Endorsement Application Requirements. If a developer requests the council's
endorsement for a tax credit housing project, they will be required to submit the following
information:
1. A market feasibility study to determine the need for the project.
2. A written recommendation from the neighborhood. The developer shall have held a
public forum inviting applicable recognized neighborhood representatives and all
property owners within a 250' boundary area to discuss the details of their proposed
project.
3. That the site for their proposed project is appropriately zoned for the proposed
development.
4. A list which identifies the need for any additional assistance from the city (i.e. HOME
funds, tax abatements, etc.).
5. A graphic perspective and site plan of the proposed site. The developer's proposed
project will be reviewed according to its compatibility per neighborhood and staff
recommendation to other surrounding developments. This compatible design criteria
shall take into account, but not be limited to, density of dwelling development, aesthetics
of other nearby residential such as roof pitch, exterior siding and facade materials,
streetscape setup and landscaping, as well as orientation to road and abutting
neighborhood layouts.
6. A traffic analysis that reviews the site and its impact on traffic conditions in the area.
7. That the developer has provided staff and council members proof of their ability to
manage and properly run such developments to ensure that they have the management
experience to maintain the project in a high quality manner and a safe suitable living
environment.
The request for endorsement with all the above information must be submitted to the Community
Development office by November 4, 2005. Failure to meet the above criteria may be reason for
the council to withhold their endorsement. An attempt to meet but ultimately not achieve all the
above information will be evaluated per the circumstances of each request.
Neighborhood recommendations will be weighted heavily in the granting of the council's
endorsement. The council will reserve the right to make an endorsement on all, none, one or a
portion of any applications presented. The city will reserve the right to request any additional
information deemed appropriate to arrive at a decision.
It was the consensus of the council to forward the requirements to the council agenda for
approval.
With no further business before the council, it was moved by Welper, seconded by Gunderson
that the meeting be adjourned at 5:18 p.m. Ayes: Five. Absent: Cole, Greenwood. Motion
carried.
