Up to 32 of the units will be set aside as permanent supportive housing for extremely low-income households, up to 16 units will be market rate and the remaining units will be available to tenants earning at or below 80 percent of Area Median Income. The amenities proposed for the development include a clubhouse, swimming pool and walking/jogging paths. On January 6, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Fort Worth Housing Finance Corporation (HFC) approved an Agreement with MV to form the Reserve at Quebec, LLC, a Texas Limited Liability Company, and single purpose entity that will construct, own and manage the Reserve at Quebec Apartments. The HFC will form the Reserve at Quebec GP, LLC that will serve as managing member. Reserve at Quebec, LLC will submit an application to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) for 2015 Non-Competitive (4%) Housing Tax Credits (4%HTC) as part of the financing of the costs of the development. It is also applying to the Tarrant County Housing Finance Corporation for multi-family bonds. Public Hearing and Resolution: TDHCA requires applicants for 4% HTC to provide a resolution of"no objection" (or of support) from the governing body of the jurisdiction in which the proposed development will be sited. As part of the TDHCA requirements, the governing body must also conduct a public hearing for citizens to provide comments on the proposed development. Following the close of the public hearing, Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached Resolution supporting the 2015 application for Non-Competitive (4%) Housing Tax Credits for the Reserve at Quebec Apartments since the development will assist the City in fulfilling its goals under its Consolidated Plan and Comprehensive Plan by supporting economic development and providing quality, accessible, affordable housing to low to moderate-income City residents as well as permanent supportive housing to very low-income residents. HOME Contract and Loan: Staff recommends a change in use and expenditure of$3,500,000.00 of the City's HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) grant funds in the form of a subordinate loan to the Reserve at Quebec, LLC to be used for a portion of the acquisition and construction costs of the development. The HOME funds may be used for any HOME-eligible cost for the development as provided in the contract. Staff recommends the following contract and loan terms: 1. Contract term of five years commencing on the date of execution with two one-year extensions; 2. $1.5M of the loan funds to be repaid within 20 years of the date of the loan documents based on a 40 year amortization. Principal and interest at one percent or the Applicable Federal Rate, whichever is less, shall be paid at least annually beginning no later than conversion, as defined in the loan documents. $2M of the loan funds to be deferred and forgiven provided all HOME requirements and contract terms are met; 3. Designate HOME-assisted units according the HOME Regulations with a 20 year Affordability Period; and 4. Payment of the HOME funds and performance of the HOME requirements to be secured by a recorded deed of trust. The expenditure of HOME funds is conditioned upon the following: 1. Receipt of grant funds from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD); 2. Satisfactory completion of an environmental review, pursuant to 24 CFR Part 58; http://apps.cfwnet.org/council_packet/mc_review.asp?ID=20809&councildate=3/3/2015 2/14/2017 M&C Review Page 3 of 3 3. Authorization to use grant funds from HUD; 4. Equity, construction and permanent financing for the development acceptable to the City; 5. Award of tax credits by TDHCA; 6. Certificate of bond reservation by the Texas Bond Review Board; and 7. Closing on equity and all other financing for the development. Action Plan funding years selected may vary and be substituted based on the Principle of First In, First Out. The development will benefit low and very low-income City citizens by providing them with quality, accessible, affordable housing. A public comment period on the change in use of these HOME funds was held from January 15, 2015 to February 13, 2015. Any comments will be maintained by the Housing and Economic Development Department, in accordance with federal regulations. The development is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Fiscal Year 2015 budget included appropriations of$4,798,461.51 in the Grants Fund for this purpose. As of January 29, 2015, the amount of$113,414.84 has been expended. Upon approval of this recommendation, the Financial Management Services Director certifies that funds are available within the existing appropriations for this expenditure.

Amend Mayor and Council Communication C-27220 for the development of the Reserve at Quebec Apartments to authorize expenditure of$2,000,000.00 of HOME Investment Partnerships Program grant funds to MV Affordable Housing LLC, in the form of a subordinate deferred forgivable loan; 2. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute a HOME contract for the development with MV Affordable Housing LLC, for the $2,000,000.00 forgivable loan for a five year term beginning on the date of execution of the contract; 3. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to extend the HOME contract for two one-year extensions if such extension is necessary for completion of the development; 4.

Authorize the acceptance of an assignment to City by MV Affordable Housing LLC, of the loan documents for the $2,000,000.00 forgivable loan made by MV Affordable Housing LLC, to Reserve at Quebec, LLC, and approve the assignment by MV Affordable Housing LLC, of the related HOME contract to Reserve at Quebec, LLC; 6. Approve the waiver of certain related development fees estimated at $204,000.00 which will count towards the City's match obligation for the HOME Investment Partnerships Program grant funds; and 7. Find that the waiver of such fees serves to carry out the public purpose of providing quality, accessible, affordable housing for low to moderate-income families and individuals in accordance with the City's Comprehensive Plan and Annual Action Plan and that adequate controls are in place through the HOME contract to carry out such public purpose. DISCUSSION: On March 3, 2015, the City Council approved the change in use and expenditure of$3,500,000.00 of HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) grant funds to the Reserve at Quebec, LLC (Reserve)for the development of the Reserve at Quebec Apartments, a proposed 296-unit mixed http://apps.cfwnet.org/council packet/mc_review.asp?ID=21129&councildate=7/28/2015 2/14/2017 M&C Review Page 2 of 3 income multifamily development to be located between Buda Lane and Quebec Street (M&C C-27220). Of the $3,500,000.00 in HOME funds, $1,500,000.00 is to be repaid and $2,000,000.00 is to be a forgivable loan, provided all HOME requirements and contract terms are met. Miller-Valentine Operations, Inc., whose affiliate MV Reserve at Quebec, LLC, will be a member of Reserve, has requested that its affiliate MV Affordable Housing LLC (MVAH), be the initial borrower of the $2,000.000.00 forgivable loan instead of Reserve so that there is no risk that the loan proceeds will be subject to taxation by the Internal Revenue Service. MVAH will execute a HOME contract and a promissory note for the $2,000,000.00 in favor of the City and simultaneously loan the $2,000,000.00 to Reserve for the development. To collateralize the loan from City to MVAH, the loan documents for the $2,000,000.00 loan from MVAH to Reserve will be assigned by MVAH to the City and MVAH will assign its obligations under the related HOME contract to Reserve. All other terms for the $1,500,000.00 HOME loan to Reserve, the $2,000,000.00 forgivable HOME loan and the related HOME contracts for those funds approved under M&C C-27220 remain the same. Staff recommends amending M&C C-27220 to allow City to enter into a HOME contract for a $2,000,000.00 forgivable loan with MVAH for the development of the Reserve at Quebec Apartments, approve the collateral assignment by MVAH to City of related loan documents and approve the assignment by MVAH of the related HOME contract to Reserve. Fee Waivers: The City is obligated to match 12.5 percent of the HOME funds drawn from its HOME Treasury Account each program year as part of its annual entitlement grant from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The City's match obligation must be satisfied annually from non—federal sources used for qualified housing projects, such as donated materials, cash donations, in—kind contributions and sweat equity. In order to assist the City in meeting its match requirement for the HOME grant, Staff recommends that the City waive fees estimated at $204,000.00 related to the development of the Reserve at Quebec Apartments that would otherwise be charged by the City including but not limited to: (a) all building permit related fees (including Plans Review, Inspections and Re—inspection Fees); (b) Plat/Replat Application Fees; (c) Board of Adjustment Application Fees; (d) Demolition Fees; (e) Structure Moving Fees; (f) Zoning Fees; (g) Street/Alley and Utility Easement Vacation Application Fees; (h) Temporary Encroachment Fees; (i) Consent/Encroachment Agreement Application Fees; 0) Urban Forestry Application Fees; (k) Sign Permit Fees; (1) Community Facilities Agreement (CFA) Application Fees; and (m) Street Closure Fees. Water and sewer impact fees are not waived and must be paid in full by Reserve, the developer. Staff recommends the waiver of the above listed fees as an appropriate tool that incentivizes and promotes private financial participation with the City in its pursuit of the goals in the Comprehensive Plan and the Annual Action plan for creating quality, accessible, affordable housing for low to moderate-income families and individuals. By maximizing the fiscal efficiency of the financial participation by a private developer, the fee waivers will serve the public purpose of assisting the City in meeting its affordable housing goals, including in this project specifically, the City's goal of providing more permanent supportive housing units. The provisions of the HOME contract establish adequate controls to ensure that the public purpose associated with these fee waivers is carried out. The development is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Financial Management Services Director certifies that this action will not increase the total appropriation of City funds.
