I,Ana Valdemoros,the chair of the Board of the Redevelopment Agency,hereby determined that

Health Department,Salt Lake County Mayor,and the Mayor of Salt Lake City have all recognized a

those who may be present at the location.

County Building and all attendees will connect remotely.

BOARD STAFF REPORT
THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY of SALT LAKE CITY
TO:RDA Board Members
FROM:Allison Rowland
Budget & Policy Analyst
DATE:May 4, 2021
RE: RESOLUTION: LOAN TO COLONY B, LLC, FOR AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT AT APPROXIMATELY 228 WEST 1300 SOUTH
ISSUE-AT-A-GLANCE
The Board is asked to consider a $1.3 million loan request from Colony B, LLC, to help fund a $21.0 million
mixed-income affordable housing project at approximately 228 West 1300 South. This project would provide
approximately 140 residential units, of which 106 would be deed-restricted as affordable for 50 years. The units
would be a mix of studios (each approximately 324 square feet) and one-bedroom apartments (each about 520
square feet), with rents for the affordable units set between 25% AMI and 50% AMI. Eleven units will be initially
available for young people aging out of foster care, and the developers intend to continue to seek young people in
this situation to the extent possible in the future through a partnership with the VOA and their youth resource
center. In addition, 15 units will accommodate people with long-term mobility challenges.
The developer, Colony B, LLC, is a joint venture between the Neighborhood Nonprofit Housing Corporation
(NNHC, also known as Neighborhood Housing Solutions) and Defy CoLabs, LLC, which is based in Bountiful.
The proposed loan’s interest rate would be 1.2%, with a term of 16 years and a 40-year amortization period. The
City would be in second position for repayment. The project would break ground in July 2021, with occupancy
and lease-up beginning in late 2022 and early 2023.
The project aligns with five goals listed in Growing SLC: A 5-Year Housing Plan. The Housing Trust Fund
Advisory Board unanimously recommended approval of this loan as presented in the transmittal at their April 7,
2021 meeting.
Goal of the briefing: Discuss and consider approving a $1,340,000 loan to Colony B, LLC, for an affordable
housing project at approximately 228 West 1300 South.

Bedroom
25% AMI 4 1
39% AMI 16 1
45% AMI 60 3
50% AMI 19 2
TOTAL 99 7
B. Funding Gap
The $1.3 million loan is intended to cover a funding gap created by increased construction costs, as well
as a drop in the value of Utah’s LIHTC tax credits since they were awarded last September. The drop
from $0.99 to $0.96 would account for about $300,000, so the balance of the loan is presumably
requested to cover construction cost increases.
C. Proposed Interest Rate Reduction
The base interest rate for the Housing Development Loan Program (HDLP) is set at 3%. Proximity to the
Ballpark Station Trax line would allow for a reduction of -0.25%, and another -0.25% was awarded for
affordability, reducing the rate to 2.50%. [Council staff note: This differs from the information in the
text of the revised transmittal, which was sent on April 28, 2021. However, the resolution was updated
to reflect an additional interest rate reduction of -0.25% for affordability.]
The developers have requested the rate be reduced to 1.2% because the senior lender’s required debt
coverage ratio (DCR) is 1.15. HDLP’s minimum DCR is 1.1.
RDA staff recommends this reduction be approved by the Board, which is permitted by program policy
on a case-by-case basis when required by senior lenders.
“In this case, RDA staff recommends approval of this reduced interest rate – though
not below the HDTF Policy’s 1% threshold – as the Project has a high number of
deeply affordable units, is ready to break ground this summer, has secured 9% Low
Income Housing Tax Credits and the applicant is a housing nonprofit that will make
hard repayments to the RDA with a balloon payment at the end of the 16-year loan.”

POLICY QUESTION
1. While this project accomplishes several goals in Growing SLC: A 5-Year Housing Plan, the Board may wish
to ask the Administration how future investments can incentivize projects with affordable family-sized units

ANALYSIS & ISSUES: Additional information on the Project and loan request is as follows:
I. PROJECT OVERVIEW
The proposed Colony B apartment project (“Project”) will be a primarily affordable housing
development located at 228 W. 1300 South on a vacant piece of land. The Project will
contain 140 residential units, with 106 units affordable to households earning 50% of the area
median income (“AMI”) and below for a minimum of 50 years. The Project will initially

is as follows:
• 4 studios at 25% AMI ($351/month)*
• 1 one-bedroom at 25% AMI ($379/month)
• 16 studios at 39% AMI ($566/month)
• 1 one-bedroom at 39% AMI ($610/month)

This falls in line with the Housing Development Trust Fund Policy’s prioritization of projects
that can break ground within three months of submittal. Construction will take approximately
sixteen months, with the start of occupancy and lease-up beginning in Q4 2022 to Q1 2023.

Reserves $405,000 2%
TOTAL USES $21,047,807 100%
*Note: Contingency 13% of hard costs
IV. PROPOSED TERMS
The Applicant is requesting a Housing Development Trust Fund (“HDTF”) loan to fill a
financial gap that remains on the Project. The applicant has explained that the gap has been
caused by “a reduction in tax credit value as well as elevated construction co sts. The national CRA rules
have changed over the last 12 months which has caused a decrease in value to Utah tax credits. Our
pricing at application in September was at $0.99 and it is now at $0.96, which lowered our equity
investment. We are also experiencing elevated construction costs which are currently at all-time highs
across the industry. Incomes have not kept pace with these increases in costs and thus revenues are not
sufficient to cover those cost increases.”
The funding request aligns with HDTF policy, with proposed terms as follows:
- Term: – 16 years
- Amortization: 40-year period
- Interest rate: requesting 1.2%, calculated as follows:
Base Rate 3%
Qualifying Interest Rate Reductions
Transit Proximity* -0.25%
Interest Rate w/ Reductions 2.75%
*Note: To be eligible for the Transit Proximity interest rate reduction, the Project shall be located
within 1/2 mile of a transit station. The Project is within ½ mile of the Ballpar k Station.
Policy Waiver - Further Interest Rate Reduction: The applicant has requested that the
interest rate be reduced further to 1.2% due to the senior lender’s debt coverage ratio
(“DCR”) requirement of 1.15. An interest rate from the RDA higher than 1.2%, would
decrease the DCR below the 1.15 threshold. The Housing Development Trust Fund Policy
states that exceptions from the standard loan terms may be recommended on a case -by-case
basis based on requirements of senior lenders.
In this case, RDA staff recommends approval of this reduced interest rate – though not below
the HDTF Policy’s 1% threshold – as the Project has a high number of deeply affordable
units (15 of those reserved for individuals with long-term mobility issues), is ready to break
ground this summer, has secured 9% Low Income Housing Tax Credits and the applicant is a
housing nonprofit that will make hard repayments to the RDA with a balloon payment at the
end of the 16-year loan term.
- Repayment type: Annual hard repayments, with principal and interest payments
beginning at the date of project stabilization, estimated to be Q1 of 2023.
3
Simple interest shall accrue on all loan proceeds disbursed commencing on the
date of disbursement at a rate of 1.2%.
-Security: A deed of trust on the property that may be subordinated to senior
financing.
-Affordable Housing Covenant: A restriction shall be recorded against the property
that requires continued use of the specified units as affordable housing for 50 years.
-Disbursement: Loan proceeds shall be disbursed through construction draws.
Refer to Attachment A: Resolution and Term Sheet for additional detail on proposed loan
terms and conditions.
V.PROJECT’S ABILITY TO REPAY DEBT
The Project is projected to generate positive cash flow for the entire 16-year investor period
and maintain a DCR of 1.15. This falls within HDTF policy, which requires a 1.1 DCR.
VI.POLICY ALIGNMENT - GROWING SLC: A 5-YEAR HOUSING PLAN
This Project aligns with Growing SLC: A 5-Year Housing Plan as follows:
1.Encourage a mix of income in individual projects and neighborhoods.
2.Create a net increase in affordable housing units while:
a.Avoiding displacement of existing affordable housing.
b.Retaining and expanding the diversity of AMI and innovative housing types.
3.Keep publicly-funded housing projects affordable as long as possible.
4.Provide a spectrum of housing options for people of all backgrounds and incomes.
5.Include affordable housing in transit-oriented developments because access to public
transit increases access to opportunities. Moderate increases in density should be
encouraged along transit corridors.
VII.FUNDS AVAILABILITY
Through the 2019-20 budget process, $2,590,000 in sales tax funding was transferred to the
RDA for the HDTF. $1,000,000 was allocated to the Diamond Rail apartment project and
$250,000 was allocated to the Wasatch Community Gardens housing project, leaving
$1,340,000 to accommodate this request.

RE: RESOLUTION: FISCAL YEAR 2021-22 AFFORDABLE HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT FUNDING PRIORITIES
ISSUE-AT-A-GLANCE
In accordance with the Housing Funds Allocation Policy and Housing Development Loan Program (HDLP)
Policy adopted by the Board in recent months, RDA staff prepared a draft Fiscal Year 2022 Affordable Housing
Priorities and Strategies document, which includes a proposed resolution and additional budget ideas. On May
4, the Board will discuss the funding Priorities in this transmittal. These are listed on page 5/12, and are
intended as policy direction for RDA staff as they consider applications for affordable housing projects. In future
years the annual Priorities will be transmitted around March for consideration well before budget discussions
begin.
Both the proposed total funding dedicated to affordable housing projects, and the allocation of this amount
among different program categories are subject to Board approval as part of the RDA’s annual budget process.
The Board will have an opportunity to discuss these in more detail on May 18. Staff note: In the RDA document,
these program categories are referred to as Expenses in the Funding Overview (page 4/12), and Tactics
elsewhere (pages 6/12 and 7/12).
Goal of the briefing: Discuss and consider adopting the Resolution entitled Fiscal Year 2022 Affordable
Housing Priorities.
Item Schedule:
Briefing: May 4, 2021

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
A. Proposed FY22 Priorities
The transmittal lists thirteen proposed FY22 Priorities based on RDA staff’s assessment of current needs
and Board objectives. According to the Housing Development Loan Program Policy adopted in March
2021, these Priorities should align with adopted Board and City Council policies, including the Housing
Plan, Project Area Plans, RDA Guiding Framework, and RDA Housing Allocation Funds Policy.
The short titles for the Priorities on page 5/12 are:
1. Family Housing
2. Target Populations
3. Neighborhood Safety
4. Missing Middle and Unique
Housing Types
5. Homeownership
6. Sustainability
7. Expand Opportunity
8. Neighborhood Impact
9. Transportation Opportunities
10. Historic Preservation /Adaptive Re-use
11. Commercial Vitality
12. Public Art
13. Fund Leveraging
Funding Priority Incentives: Projects would be eligible to reduce their base interest rate if they meet the
adopted funding priorities as established annually, according to the RDA Housing Allocation Funds
Policy. For each funding priority met, the project would be eligible to receive a 0.5% reduction to the
Base Interest Rate, down to a minimum of 1%.
The Board may wish to consider the advantages and disadvantages of naming 13
Priorities in the FY22 Strategy which all would carry equal weight for incentives:
o Would the Board be interested in differentiating among these Priorities, for
example, defining some as Required and others as Optional?
o Since the Priorities are tied to potential interest rate reductions, would the
Board like to consider some option for weighting their relative importance,
for example, assigning 0.50% reductions to some, and 0.25% to others deemed
less important?
B. Proposed FY22 Tactics
The proposed funding amounts listed for each Tactic are subject to change by the Board during the May
18 RDA budget discussion, depending in part on whether it chooses to dedicate more or less of the total
budget to housing. For the purposes of this Priorities discussion, Board members may wish to indicate
whether they agree with the share of the nearly $10.8 million total that is proposed for each Tactic. As
presented in the RDA document, staff estimates that leveraging these funds with private investment
would result in $150 million in total project costs, providing 348 new affordable units, including 116 at
under 50% AMI.
Proposed Amounts and Shares for FY22 RDA Housing Tactics
Amount Share
Housing Development Loan Program
- Citywide NOFA $5,406,400 52%
- Emergency Gap $1,000,000 10%
- High Opportunity $2,700,000 26%
Strategic Acquisition $1,000,000 10%
ADU Pilot Program $280,455 3%
TOTAL $10,386,855 100%
Page | 3
The $10.4 million represents estimated FY22 revenue combined with housing funds remaining from
FY21. As adopted in the Housing Development Loan Program Policy, the funding sources for each of
the Tactics discussed below are described here:
1. Tactic 1: Housing Development Loan Program
$9,106,400 from Primary, Secondary and HDLP Funds from FY22 and FY21
For HDLP funds, RDA staff proposes to release three notices of funding availability (NOFAs) in
FY22:
- A competitive $5.4 million Citywide NOFA for projects located within Salt Lake City, with
a minimum of at least $394,000 (4%) reserved for projects located in RDA project areas.
The target would be 135 new affordable units at about $40,000 each. RDA staff would issue
the NOFA in July with a fixed submission date. If funds were left over after that
competition, due to a lack of demand or viable projects, the RDA would issue a second
competitive, time-limited NOFA in early 2022.
- A $1 million Emergency Gap Financing NOFA available an open-ended basis for
projects with a majority of units at or below 60% AMI which encounter an unexpected
financial gap due to unforeseen circumstances. This would support 25 units at $40,000
each.
- A High Opportunity NOFA would be released on an open-ended basis for new projects
in designated “high opportunity” census tracts. This would be funded with the remaining
$2.7 million reserved for this purpose in 2018, and support 45 units at $60,000 each.
The Board may wish to request additional information on this proposed
use of HDLP, including:
o Would these amounts be fungible among the three categories if
unexpected opportunities arise? What would be the process for
making any changes?
o How would the City’s equity goals be furthered through these
proposed programs?
2. Tactic 2: Strategic Acquisition
$1,000,000 from Primary Housing Fund
These funds are proposed to be used for buying strategic properties in existing RDA project areas,
including distressed motels or other properties, consistent with RDA and City goals.
The Board may wish to request additional information on this proposed Tactic,
including:
o Is this amount sufficient for the proposed purpose? (This question also
could be considered during the RDA budget discussion on May 18.)
o How would the City’s equity goals be furthered through this proposal?
Page | 4
3. Tactic 3: ADU Program
$280,455 ($250,000 from NWQ funds and $30,455 from remaining FY21 Secondary Funds)
These funds would be used to start a pilot accessory dwelling unit (ADU) program west of I-15 and
targeted to the 9Line Community Reinvestment Area (CRA). The program would aim to foster new
ADUs in the area as an affordable housing option by providing financial support for the
construction of two new units, at a price of approximately $95,000 each. The program would
require homeowners to rent their ADUs at a rate that is affordable to low and moderate income
households.
The Board may wish to request additional information on this proposed pilot
program such as:
o Would constructing just two ADUs be enough to help inform judgments
about whether to continue this program in the future?
o How would the program be structured, for example, is this envisioned as
a revolving loan fund? How would the RDA monitor and impose the
affordability requirement?
o How would the application process work? Would only single-family
homeowners be eligible, or could owner-occupied multifamily units also
qualify? Would applicants be expected to provide some cash for
construction ($95,000 seems too low to complete an ADU)?
o How would the City’s equity goals be furthered through this proposed
program?
If both ADUs are built for $95,000 each, how would the remaining $90,455
allocated to this Tactic be used? (This question also could be considered during
the RDA budget discussion on May 18.)
The Board may wish to consider whether the pilot program would be more
feasible if all of the Secondary funds for FY22, which are to be used in existing
CRAs, were dedicated to the ADU program instead. This would result in
$674,455. (This question also could be better considered during the RDA budget
discussion on May 18.)
POLICY QUESTIONS
1. The Board may wish to ask about the plan for dealing with any surpluses or shortfalls in actual revenue
compared to the revenue estimates. Will the RDA staff return to the Board for authorization to make
changes to the amounts allocated to each Tactic, for example, through budget amendments?
2. The transmittal states that the FY22 Strategy addresses all three Goals and the majority of the Objectives in
the Growing SLC Housing Plan (Appendix A, page 7). The Board may wish to ask for additional information
on how the RDA staff assesses this alignment. Specifically, how would the RDA:
o Prioritize the development of new affordable housing with an emphasis on households earning 40%
AMI and below. (Note: In the Target Population Priority, the threshold listed is 50% and below.)
o Work with landlords to both improve their housing stock and rent to very low-income households.
o Implement Lifecycle Housing principles in neighborhoods throughout the city.
3. The Board may wish to ask for an update from RDA staff as it relates to guiding policies specifically for the
Northwest Quadrant affordable housing increment, including how it may address ideas raised by Board
members in the discussion late in 2020.

HOUSING BUDGET &
ADMINISTRATION
WORKFLOW
REVENUES & EXPENSES
*Note: FY 22 Budget is based on
preliminary information. The official
draft budget will be transmitted
through the Mayor’s Recommended
Budget Book.
**Note: The Prior Year Budget
Available includes an estimate of
revolving funds within the housing
accounts that will not be expended
prior to the end of FY 21. Subject to
change.
FUNDING PRIORITIES (1 of 2)
1.FAMILY HOUSING: Provide opportunities for families to enjoy the many benefits of urban living by
encouraging the development of housing that is more conducive to larger household sizes.
2.TARGET POPULATIONS: Expand the availability of units for extremely low-income households,
thereby providing housing options for individuals or families that are homeless or at risk of
homelessness.
3.NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY: Utilize the development of housing as a method to remove blight,
reduce crime, revitalize neighborhoods, and stabilize communities.
4.MISSING MIDDLE & UNIQUE HOUSING TYPES: Promote an array of scale of project types to
diversify the City’s housing stock/forms and provide more affordable living options for residents.
5.HOMEOWNERSHIP: Create opportunities for those who have historically rented in the community
to build wealth and establish permanent roots through homeownership.
6.SUSTAINABILITY: Achieve green building and energy conservation standards to lower housing
expenses, conserve resources, and promote resiliency.
FUNDING PRIORITIES (2 of 2)
7.EXPAND OPPORTUNITY: Provide for Neighborhoods of Opportunity by promoting the economic
diversity of the housing stock within neighborhoods.
8.NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACT: Encourage housing that is high-quality, enduring, and that contributes
to neighborhood context and livability through architectural and urban design best practices.
9.TRANSPORTATION OPPORTUNITIES: Promote a multimodal transportation network and ensure
convenient and equitable access to a variety of transportation options.
10.HISTORIC PRESERVATION/ADAPTIVE REUSE: Encourage the preservation and/or reuse of
buildings to preserve the character of neighborhoods.
11.COMMERCIAL VITALITY: Foster a mix of land uses and unique neighborhood business districts
that adequately meet the local community’s needs.
12.PUBLIC ART: Promote cultural expression and add to the experience and value of the built
environment through art that is publicly visible or accessible for all to experience.
13.FUND LEVERAGING: Maximize impact by leveraging funds with the private market and with other
available public resources.
*Note: These are preliminary estimates based off a percentage of affordable units per project and a standard development cost per unit.
ACTIVITIES (1 of 2)
1.HOUSING DEVELOPMENT LOAN PROGRAM
The HDLP provides a centralized application, underwriting, and approval process
across all funding sources, providing a one-stop-shop for community partners to
access resources for the development and preservation of affordable housing. In
FY22, the RDA proposes to three notices of funding availability through the HDLP.
ACTIVITIES (2 of 2)
2.STRATEGIC SITE ACQUISITION
To be utilized for the purchase of strategic properties located within RDA project areas that may
included distressed motels, properties that are located at target locations, and other properties
that align with the RDA project area goals and City’s objectives.
3.ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT PROGRAM
To be utilized for a pilot accessory dwelling unit (ADU) program targeted to the 9 Line CRA.
ADUs are gaining momentum across the country as part of the solution to address the affordable
housing crisis. By establishing a pilot ADU program, the RDA will mitigate some of the barriers for
homeowners to construct ADUs including cost and lack of available financing.
BOARD’S ROLE
1.Adoption of Housing Polices
•The Housing Allocation Funds Policy was adopted in February of 2021
•The Housing Development Loan Program Policy was adopted in March 2021
2.Adoption of the RDA’s annual budget, including revenues and expenses for housing
3.Adoption of Annual Housing Funding Priorities as proposed through the Annual
Housing Development Funding Strategy

RE: FY 2021-22 Affordable Housing Development Funding Strategy and
Priorities
REQUESTED ACTION: Briefing on the FY 2021-22 Affordable Housing Development Funding
Strategy and consider approval of a resolution establishing annual
Funding Priorities.
POLICY ITEM: Affordable housing.
BUDGET IMPACTS: N/A.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Board of Directors (“Board”) of the Redevelopment Agency of
Salt Lake City (“RDA”) recently adopted two policies to facilitate the funding and development of
affordable housing within City boundaries. First, the RDA Housing Allocations Funds Policy
(“Funds Policy”) establishes guidelines for allocating and directing resources for the development
and preservation of housing by funding source. Second, the Housing Development Loan Program
Policy (“HDLP Policy”) creates a program that centralizes the application, underwriting, and
approval process across all funding sources, providing a one-stop-shop for community partners to
access resources for the development and preservation of affordable housing.
Both policies contemplate that annually, prior to the annual budget process, the RDA shall present
to the Board an Affordable Housing Development Funding Strategy (“Funding Strategy”). The
Funding Strategy shall include a projected amount of revenue to be allocated to housing, proposed
funding allocations for housing activities, and proposed funding priorities (“Funding Priorities”) for
the upcoming fiscal year. This will allow the RDA to be flexible to address current needs, leverage
current opportunities, coordinate with other city resources, and allow funding priorities to align with
evolving plans and policies.
Pursuant to the Funds Policy, the Board shall consider the Funding Strategy as part of the annual
budget adoption process. Additionally, the HDLP Policy provides that the annual Funding Priorities,
as proposed through the Funding Strategy, shall be subject to approval by the Board. Accordingly,
the Funding Strategy is provided as Attachment A for the Board’s review, and the FY 2021-22
Affordable Housing Funding Priorities resolution is provided as Attachment B for the Board’s
consideration. These documents are intended to provide supplemental information and policy
direction on the RDA’s budget regarding housing activities and not replace the RDA’s annual budget
process.
PREVIOUS BOARD ACTION:
• March 2021: The Board adopted the Housing Development Loan Program Policy.
• February 2021: The Board adopted the RDA Housing Allocation Funds Policy was briefed
by RDA Staff on a draft Housing Development Loan Program Policy.
• December 2020: RDA Staff presented a draft RDA Housing Allocation Funds Policy
Resolution and briefed RAC and the Board on the forthcoming draft Housing Development
Loan Program Policy.
• July 2020: RDA Staff proposed two draft frameworks that were envisioned to be expanded
into legislative policies that would carry out the Board’s direction and intent to 1) direct the
allocation of resources for affordable housing development and preservation and 2)
consolidate loan administration for the development of affordable housing into a single
location.
• January - February 2020: RDA Staff briefed RAC and the Board on the Draft Salt Lake City
Housing Implementation Framework, a framework that outlines the various roles and
responsibilities across City divisions and departments for the implementation of housing.
• June 2019 and June 2020: The Board and Salt Lake City Council allocated sales tax funds to
the RDA with legislative intent of consolidating loan administration for the development of
affordable housing into a single location.
• May 2018 to March 2019: RDA Staff presented a series of briefings to RAC and the Board
regarding housing, including on topics such as historical practices and funding allocations,
statutory requirements, and interdepartmental coordination.
• December 2017: The Board adopted a motion directing RDA Staff to draft an RDA Housing
Allocation Policy.
ATTACHMENTS:
A. FY 2021-22 Affordable Housing Development Funding Strategy
B. FY 2021-22 Affordable Housing Funding Priorities Resolution
The Fiscal Year 2022 (“FY 22”) Salt Lake City Affordable Housing Funding Strategy

FY22 AFFORDABLE HOUSING FUNDING STRATEGY 4DRAFT: FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES
The HDLP provides a centralized application, underwriting, and approval process across all funding sources,
providing a one-stop-shop for community partners to access resources for the development and preservation
of affordable housing. In FY22, the RDA will release three notices of funding availability through the HDLP. A
competitive Citywide NOFA of $5,319,402 will be available for projects located within Salt Lake City municipal
boundaries, with a minimum of $394,000 prioritized for projects located in RDA project areas. An Emergency
Gap Financing NOFA of $1,000,000 will be released on an open-ended basis for projects, with a majority of units
at or below 60% AMI, that have an unexpected financial gap due to unforeseen circumstances. Finally, a High
Opportunity NOFA will be released on an open-ended basis for projects located in designated High Opportunity
census tracts - refer to Appendix C.

To be utilized for a pilot accessory dwelling unit (ADU) program targeted to the 9 Line CRA. ADUs are gaining
momentum across the country as part of the solution to address the affordable housing crisis. By establishing
a pilot ADU program, the RDA will mitigate some of the barriers for homeowners to construct ADUs including
cost and lack of available financing. In addition to fostering the development of ADUs, the program will require
homeowners to rent their ADU units at a rate that is affordable to low and moderate income households.

RE: Redevelopment Agency Semi-Annual Property Report
REQUESTED ACTION: None. Written Briefing
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: As directed in the Land Disposition Policy, the RDA provides the Board, not
less than semi-annually per fiscal year, an inventory of all Tier 1 and Tier 2 properties.
ANALYSIS & ISSUES: The attached report contains a current inventory of all RDA owned properties.
The report includes the description, address, parcel ID, size, zoning, and tier category of each property. In
addition, the report details the approximate acquisition date, current category of disposition, interim use,
and proposed permanent use for each property.
Notable changes since the last report include the following:
• Eccles Theater and Ancillary Spaces was reduced by 0.1 acres due to the sale of the land under
the Walker Center’s parking garage. The sold parcel of 3,111 square feet includes an easement to
access the trash compactors and emergency generator used by the theater.
• 255 South State was sold to Brinshore Development for a mixed use, multi-family housing
development.
• Parcels located at 14 and 18 South 600 West were exchanged with Salt Lake City for a similar
property located at 662 West 100 South.
• Property located at 258 West 500 North was quitclaimed to Community Housing Services-
Capitol Villa LTD. The property transaction corrects property lines in Capitol Villa’s parking
area from an earlier RDA project.
• Salt Lake City quitclaimed the former Sugarhouse fire station and facilities maintenance
building to the RDA to be incorporated into the Sugarmont development with the former DI site.
