Page 4 MEMORANDUM TO: Town Council FROM: Nina Timm DATE: May 1, 2007 SUBJECT: Proposed Criteria for the Town of Vail Buy Down Program I. Introduction The Town of Vail established a buy down program for employee housing in 1999. The goal of the program is to disperse deed restricted employee housing units throughout the Town of Vail. The Town budgets $100,000 per year. If the money is not spent in a year it is rolled over to the next year.. Currently, there is $365,000 in the buy down fund. To date, seven units have been purchased and deed restricted. Historically, the Town has purchased units on the free market, deed restricted them and then resold them through the lottery process, at a reduced price to qualified purchasers. With afee-in-lieu option for the Town's commercial linkage and inclusionary zoning programs there is potential for additional dollars to expand the program. With the additional dollars, the Town has considered purchasing deed restrictions from current or soon-to-be homeowners in the Town of Vail. In order to have an equitable program, criteria needs to be established to determine appropriate units and deed restriction purchase prices. II. Potential Buy Down Types A. Town of Vail purchases a unit, deed restricts it and sells it at a reduced price through the lottery process B. Town of Vail purchases a deed restriction from an existing or soon-to-be owner of a unit in the Town of Vail C. Town of Vail purchases a unit, deed restricts and sells it to an employee of the Town of Vail III. Proposed Unit Criteria A. Location of the unit within the Town of Vail a. Consideration for units outside of the Town of Vail, but at reduced price for the deed restriction B. Total cost of the unit a. Purchase price b. Condition of the unit c. Association fees, if any ~~ C. Proximity of the unit to public transportation a. Further reduces the need for parking in Town b. Reduces green house gas emissions D. Useful life of the unit is greater than 10 years a. This will be challenging to determine, but will greatly impact the long- term affordability of a unit b. Would prevent the buying down ofdemo-rebuild units E. If the unit is part of a Home Owner's Association, the HOA is in reasonable financial condition related to the age and repair of the building(s) a. This will be challenging to determine, but will greatly impact the long- term affordability of a unit F. The unit adds to the diversity of the Town's deed restricted employee housing stock a. Location b. Unit Type IV. Proposed Occupant Criteria A. The unit is the full-time permanent residence of the owner a. Precludes rental properties being created with Town funds b. Does not preclude developers from creating rental units as part of their employee housing obligation B. Owner is employed full-time at a business located in Eagle County and remains employed in Eagle County for at least five years C. The owner/occupant does not own other residential real estate in Eagle County V. Proposed Deed Restriction Purchase Prices A. The Town of Vail will consider paying a maximum of $236.65 per square foot for a deed restriction that includes a price appreciation cap B. The Town of Vail will consider paying a maximum of $132.00 per square foot for a deed restriction that does not include a price appreciation cap C. If the unit is purchased and deed restricted for an employee of the Town of Vail, it will be priced to be affordable to the then current median full-time salary of Town of Vail employees a. The deed restriction will contain a price appreciation cap as well as first option for the Town of Vail to repurchase the unit upon sale b. The unit must sold within three years of no longer working for the Town of Vail D. Initially the Town of Vail will seek to maximize the total number of units deed restricted on an annual basis a. This will limit the size of the units initially deed restricted VI. Action Requested of Town Council A. Provide staff with direction on the proposed unit and occupant criteria B. Provide staff with direction regarding the proposed deed restriction purchase prices C. Provide staff with direction on the types of units Town Council would like to see deed restricted D. In light of the passage of commercial linkage and inclusionary zoning should the Town focus on creating additional housing opportunities for employees of the Town of Vail?
