language in the policy stating"if the property being disposed of is a Tier 1 property the
price shall be at least 90%of the fair market value as outlined in the strategic plan."

determined its status as a Tier 1. Mr Utley confirmed it was a Tier 1 and was specifically
mentioned in City plans and goals.

MEMORANDUM TO CITY COUNCIL
TO: Salt Lake City Council
Dan Dugan, Chair
Date: January 18, 2022
From: Allison Parks, Senior City Attorney
Keith Reynolds, Deputy City Recorder—GRAMA
Subject: Annual Open and Public Meeting Act Training & GRAMA Overview
Introduction
This memorandum and the associated briefing will provide an overview of the requirements of
two state laws that impact municipal government. Generally, the government is trusted with
conducting the public's business. There are two fundamental state laws that help ensure such
business is accessible to the public: 1)the Open and Public Meetings Act("OPMA"), and 2) the
Government Records Access and Management Act("GRAMA"). OPMA ensures that the
public's business is conducted openly and GRAMA details how the public may access
documents concerning the public's business. This memorandum and the associated briefing will
provide an overview of the requirements of both laws.
Open and Public Meetings Act(Utah Code Sections 52-4-101 to 305)
OPMA's stated goal is to ensure that public bodies deliberate and take actions openly. Consistent
with that goal, OPMA provides that meetings of a public body are open to the public unless an
exception is available that allows the meeting to be closed. Meetings are defined as the
convening of at least a quorum, and meeting for the purpose to discuss, receive comments, or act
on a matter over which the Council has jurisdiction. Regular meetings, electronic meetings,
retreats, workshops, and field trips are subject to the requirements of OPMA.
Transparency to the Public
Public Notices of each meeting shall be provided at least 24 hour prior to each meeting and be:
1) Posted at the principal office of the Council (except for an electronic meeting held
without an anchor location) and on the Utah Public Meeting Notice website; and
2) Provided to a newspaper of general circulation or a local media correspondent(completed
through the posting on the Utah Public Meeting Notice website).
Closed Meetings
A meeting may be closed only to discuss topics specified in OPMA, which include:
• An individual's character, professional competence of physical or mental health
• Collective bargaining strategy
• Pending or reasonably imminent litigation
• Real property purchase, exchange, lease if the discussion would disclose the appraisal or
estimated value of the property or prevent the public body from conducting the sale on
the best possible terms
• Real property sale if the discussion would disclose the appraisal or estimated value of the
property or prevent the public body from conducting the sale on the best possible terms,
the public body gave notice that the property would be offered for sale, and the terms of
the sale are publicly disclosed before approving the sale
• Deployment of security personnel, devices, or systems
• Criminal misconduct investigations
• Advice of legal counsel
An open meeting may be closed following a roll call vote wherein 2/3 of the members present
approve the closure of the meeting during an open meeting with a quorum in attendance. Prior to
going into a closed meeting, the following shall be announced and entered on the minutes of the
open meeting: the reason(s) for closing the meeting, the location of where the closed meeting
will be held, and a vote by name of each member of the public body on the motion to hold the
closed meeting.
Public Comment or Participation
State law or city code may require a public hearing in some instances. Advertising for these
hearings shall be satisfied by state law requirements or, when possible,by standards established
by the Council. Public comment information may be discussed during an open meeting at the
discretion of the Chair even though items may not have been listed on the agenda, but no final
action on the items raised by public comment may occur.
Government Records Access and Management Act (Utah Code Sections 63G-2-101 to 901)
The intent of GRAMA is to: i)promote the public's right of easy and reasonable access to
unrestricted public records; ii) specify when the public interest in allowing restrictions on access
to records may outweigh the public's interest in access; iii)prevent abuse of claims of
confidentiality by governmental entities by permitting confidential treatment of records only as
provided; iv)provide guidelines for both disclosures and restrictions on access to government
records; v) favor public access when, in the application of this act, countervailing interests are of
equal weight; and vi) establish fair and reasonable records management practices.
Request Procedure
Persons making a request for a record shall furnish the governmental entity with a written
request including the person's name, mailing address, daytime telephone number and a
description of the record requested identified with reasonable specificity. GRAMA requests
received via email, the State Records Portal, City portal (GovQA), and by written letters.
The City must respond to a request within 10 business days. If a requester asks for an expedited
response, the City must respond in 5 business days. Expedited responses are determined to be the
benefit of the public rather than the person. Generally, requests from the media are presumed to

Overall, the number of records requests returned to the numbers observed in 2019 with a total of
15,976 requests received between all departments. This is 806 more than 2020 and nearly the
exact same number as 2019. We utilize a program called GovQA to route and track all GRAMA
requests. This program categorizes all requests as either Police, Fire, Airport, or City. City is
further broken down into all other departments. The overall breakdown by department remained
roughly the same with the Police Department receiving the vast majority of request, followed by,
City, Fire, and Airport. Further statistical breakdown can be seen in the charts below.

Briefing:January 18,2022
TO: RDA Board Members Set Date: n/a
Public Hearing:n/a
FROM: Allison Rowland Potential Action:January 18,2022
Budget&Policy Analyst
DATE: January 18,2022
RE: RESOLUTION: REPEALING AND REPLACING THE RDA HOUSING ALLOCATION
FUNDS POLICY
ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
The RDA Housing Allocation Funds Policy was adopted by the Board in early 2021 as part of its multi-year
process of establishing,refining,and implementing guidelines for the use of several different revenue streams.It
defined four Housing Funds based on the revenue sources of each and the Board's policy priorities for their use,
along with an annual budgeting process and annual reporting requirements(see Attachment Ci).RDA staff now
has proposed a set of revisions,most of which relate to incorporating the Westside Community Initiative(WCI)
into the Housing Allocation Funds Policy. (For additional information on the WCI,see Attachments C2 and C3)
RDA Staff indicates that the Board does not need to adopt this policy at the January 18 meeting,but it can be a
first step towards identifying any potential adjustments prior to adoption at the February board meeting.
More specifically,the intent is as follows:
1. Simplify staffs previous plan to set up a stand-alone WCI policy;
2. Preserve the Board's established policy priorities and goals for the WCI;
3. Integrate the WCI into the Housing Funds Allocation Policy's overall funding strategy and reporting
structure;and
4. Allow some of the WCI's broader goals and activities,like reporting requirements and the forthcoming
Shared Equity Housing Program policy,to apply to the other three Housing Funds,as well.
5. Broaden the eligible uses of WCI funds to reflect the Board's priority that they be used throughout the
Westside.
The other proposed revisions address broader aspects of the Housing Allocation Funds Policy,providing
additional definitions,references,and clarifications.A summary of proposed changes can be found on pages 2
and 3 of the transmittal.
1
The Redevelopment Advisory Committee(RAC)was briefed on these proposed revisions in their January 5,
2022,meeting.RDA staff will present any feedback from RAC during the Board's briefing on this topic.
Goal of the briefing:Discuss the proposed revisions to the Housing Funds Allocation Policy,identify any
edits needed and if no edits are desired,consider adopting the Resolution entitled Repealing and Replacing the
RDA Housing Funds Policy.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1. RDA Community Engagement.As part of its Equity Framework and Project Area Implementation
Plans,RDA staff has been working on the process for increasing community engagement and
stakeholder participation.
2. Next Step. RDA staff anticipates presenting a"shared equity"model of development and financing to
the Board for approval as the next step to implement the Board's priorities for the WCI.
POLICY QUESTIONS
1. Board Members may wish to discuss potential options to the specific wording proposed in the first of the
WCI Policy Priorities listed.As proposed,it reads:
"Address potential impacts from Inland Port development activities and
improve opportunity indicators within the westside."
Some options could include explicit references to equity and historical practices that have disadvantaged
Westside residents.
2. The Board might wish to ask the Administration about progress in the broader efforts to establish and
measure City"opportunity indicators,"since these currently are not available at a city scale or on an annual
basis.
3. The Board may wish to inquire about the new RDA Data Manager position,whose role will be to establish an
internal data management plan,including the metrics for housing.This information is designed to be
incorporated into the Board's annual Housing Development Funding Strategy to help inform priorities and
budget decisions.
4. The Reporting Requirements include a reference to"An accounting of programs and projects funded from
the Housing Funds over the last fiscal year[...]."Many of the types of projects envisioned for the Housing
Funds would take several years to complete,and their impacts may not be perceptible in annual data.Would
the Board like to consider changes to this language to explicitly incorporate a cumulative accounting of
programs and projects as well?

RI ,,i �.
Item Schedule:
Briefing: September 14,2021
TO: RDA Board Members Set Date: n/a
Public Hearing:n/a
FROM: Allison Rowland Potential Action:n/a
Budget&Policy Analyst
DATE: September 14,2021
RE: INFORMATIONAL:WESTSIDE COMMUNITY INITIATIVE
ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
The Board agreed in May 2021 to use Inland Port Housing Funds specifically to promote Westside
homeownership and new opportunities for small businesses.In response,RDA staff has developed a proposal to
meet this goal,which it has tentatively named the Westside Community Initiative(WCI).For these purposes,the
Westside is defined as the City area west of I-15.The RDA proposal states that the program is intended to be
broader than a typical community land trust or cooperative housing development to allow it to carry out projects
in addition to housing,like infrastructure improvements,economic development,and redevelopment of
undesirable land uses,which are consistent with State statute.The long-term approach to development projects
would allow the RDA to balance the provision of public benefits with the generation of new revenue for
reinvestment on the Westside.
RDA staff has identified existing policies that would need to be updated or created to implement the program,a
list of proposed goals for it,and its primary activities.It also recommends a number of"next steps,"which
include revision of the RDA Housing Allocation Funds Policy,a new policy resolution to establish the program,
and a new policy to guide a proposed"shared equity housing development"program.A summary version of the
proposed WCI framework can be found on the final page of the transmittal.
Goal of the briefing:Review,discuss and provide direction to RDA staff on the proposed Westside
Community Initiative.
POLICY QUESTIONS
1. Is the Board comfortable with the purpose of the Initiative being defined as"building community
cohesion and personal wealth"?
1
2. Does the Board wish to discuss or request clarification of any of the concepts or terms used in the Goals
section of the proposal?For example,
a. Community-defined purpose
b. Opportunities for revenue generation
c. Mitigating gentrification and displacement
d. Collective Impact Approach
3. The transmittal mentions that the RDA would identify and acquire outside funding and professional
resources for the WCI by bringing together other partners.The Board may wish to ask whether the
RDA staff anticipates the need for additional FTEs as a result of this program,and whether current staff
may need training in new areas to expand their own expertise.
4. The transmittal mentions(in the Strategic Acquisition section)that redeveloped properties would have
"profound impacts on people,particularly low-income and vulnerable populations,in order to uplift
others,create economic opportunities,improve health outcomes,and influence the physical and
socioeconomic landscape of Salt Lake City."The Board may wish to consider whether this list might
prove useful for developing metrics to assess the program(for example,are reliable data readily
available to track these changes annually),and whether measurable progress in these areas is a
reasonable expectation for a real estate development project.
5. In the May 2021 RDA work session conversation,Board Members expressed interest specifically in
using Inland Port Housing Funds to promote Westside homeownership and new opportunities for small
businesses.The Board may wish to discuss whether this proposal satisfies those interests,or whether it
prefers that staff narrow the scope of allowed development.

Westside.
POLICY ITEM: Affordable housing; 9 Line and North Temple project area
development.
BUDGET IMPACTS: Inland Port Housing Funds.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Earlier this year, the Board of Directors of the Redevelopment Agency
of Salt Lake City("RDA") directed staff to develop a proposed program for the utilization of funds
received by the RDA from the Inland Port Authority. These funds are received pursuant to Utah
Code Title 11-58 Utah Inland Port Authority Act, which provides that a portion of tax differential
generated within Inland Port Authority Jurisdictional Land shall be paid to the RDA to be utilized for
housing. As such, RDA staff is working to develop a new program,tentatively called the Westside
Community Initiative ("WCI"). While the proposed WCI is based on community land trust and
cooperative-style housing development, it is broader in nature to carry out other project types for a
collective impact.
As proposed, the WCI shall facilitate the implementation of transformative housing and mixed-use
projects with a focus on affordable homeownership as a way of building community cohesion and
personal wealth. The geographic scope of the initiative is proposed to be the City's Westside defined
as west of I-15. The RDA's 9 Line and North Temple project areas are included in this larger
geographic area. Affordable and mixed-income housing projects will be leveraged with additional
public benefits including neighborhood services, economic opportunity, and transit-oriented
development. By taking a long-term approach to development projects,the WCI will balance the
implementation of public benefits with the ability to generate revenue to be reinvested back into the
community.
Inland Port Housing Funds are required to be utilized for the purposes outlined in Utah 17C-
Community Reinvestment Agency Act, section 17-C-1-412 Use of Housing Allocation,which
generally limits eligible activities to the development and preservation of housing targeted to

households at or below 80%of the area median income ("AMI"). Under the statute, funds can be
utilized to implement mixed-income projects,mixed-use projects, and related improvements. As
such, funds can be leveraged as part of housing projects for a broad array of other public benefits,
including infrastructure improvements, economic development, sustainable building practices, and
the redevelopment of undesirable land uses. While the primary source of revenue for the initiative is
anticipated to be Inland Port Housing Funds, the Board would be able to allocate other revenue
sources to the WCI. In addition,the RDA would actively work to acquire outside funding sources
and resources to collaborate on projects and activities. This could broaden the eligible uses of
funding dedicated to the WCI.
This memorandum includes initial information on the proposed framework for the WCI, including
the budget and policy structure, goals, and activities. RDA staff will incorporate the Board's
feedback as specific details of the initiative are developed for the Board's consideration at a future
date.
ANALYSIS & ISSUES: Additional details on the proposed framework of the WCI are as follows:
I. Budget&Policy Structure: To implement the WCI, the following efforts would need to be
carried out by the Board:
1. Update the RDA Housing Allocation Funds Policy, resolution R-4-2021,to earmark
the Inland Port Housing Funds for the WCI and to allow for allocations from other
revenue sources. This would be a minor change to the existing policy.
2. Create a new policy for the WCI that establishes the purpose, goals, activities,
metrics, and reporting requirements for the initiative. If the Board is supportive, this
policy would be based on the information contained herein.
While the WCI policy would identify the purposes, goals, and activities of the initiative,
projects would be administered pursuant to existing RDA programs and tools. Additionally, a
new policy would be developed for a Shared Equity Development program. Programs and
tools the WCI would be administered pursuant to are as follows:
• RDA Loan Program Policy: Resolution R-37-2016
• Tax Increment Reimbursement Program Policy: Resolution R-9-2017
• RDA Real Property Disposition Policy: Resolution R-6-2021
• Housing Development Loan Program: Resolution R-7-2021
• Shared Equity Housing Program: Resolution Forthcoming
Refer to Attachment A for a chart depicting the proposed structure of the WCI.
H. Goals: The goals for the WCI are proposed as follows:
• Develop Land with a Long-Term Approach to Continuously Serve a Community-
Defined Purpose
WCI will take a long-term approach to land development and community building so that the
RDA may retain the fee ownership to and a reversionary interest in the property. By ground
leasing to development partners, the RDA will provide an opportunity to receive revenue
generation to serve other public benefits.
• Create Opportunities for Revenue Generation while Balancing the Implementation of
Public Benefits
WCI will strive to balance the development of property with the incorporation of public
benefits. Benefits such as affordable housing and below-market commercial space which
generate limited or no cash flow would potentially be subsidized with land uses that generate
positive cash flow. Revenue generated by projects and received by the RDA will then be
reinvested back into the WCI with the goal of furthering shared prosperity.
• Assist the Westside in Mitigating Gentrification and Displacement
WCI will acquire land with the goal of holding it for the community in perpetuity,thereby
removing land from the speculative market so that it serves low and moderate-income
residents in perpetuity. Housing will remain affordable even as neighborhood change occurs
and gentrification pressures mount,which protects families from displacement.
• Give Lower Income Households the Opportunity to Build Wealth Through Ownership
WCI will create opportunities for families to buy homes at affordable prices by focusing on a
shared-equity model. A shared equity model offers an alternative form of ownership that
provides benefits traditional markets cannot, such as long-term housing affordability and the
ability for low and moderate-income families to build equity. When families decide to sell,
they will receive their portion of the appreciation but the RDA remains as the land owner and
is in the position to continue to sell the home at a below-market price, making it affordable to
another family of limited means. Keeping the home affordable, from family to family, will
benefit future generations by acting as a steppingstone for low-income families to go from
renting to building wealth.
• Engage Community Members in Development Decisions
The RDA will involve the community in the planning and goals regarding long term land use
and housing development. This can translate into residents actively involved in creating
positive change within their communities and projects that reflect the value of its residents.
The result will be projects that incorporate a shared mission and vision with the community.
• Leverage Resources for Other Neighborhood Development Purposes
Revenues acquired through ground leases or partnerships could contribute to other purposes,
including subsidizing deeply affordable housing,below-market commercial space,
infrastructure,public art, etc.
• Collaborate with Other Partners to Broaden the Pool of Funding and Expertise
The RDA would actively work to acquire outside funding sources and professional resources
by bringing together financial institutions, the private sector, nonprofits,public officials,
other government agencies,researchers, and practitioners to collaborate on community and
economic development activities.
• Carry Out Efforts with a "Collective Impact"Approach
The RDA will continuously evaluate how projects work together to address common goals
through a"collective impact" approach that produces measurable results. These measurable
results will be tracked and reported on to promote data-driven and outcome-based decisions.
III. Activities: The activities of the WCI are proposed as follows:
• Strategic Acquisitions
Strategic property acquisitions that may include distressed properties characterized by high
crime rates,properties that are located at target locations, and other opportunities that align
with the City's objectives and meet predefined policy priorities. Properties will be
redeveloped as elevated real estate development projects that have profound impacts on
people,particularly low-income and vulnerable populations, in order to uplift others, create
economic opportunities, improve health outcomes, and influence the physical and
socioeconomic landscape of Salt Lake City.
• Shared Equity Models of Development
o Land Trust Development
The RDA will retain ownership of land and provide for the sale or rental of housing
to lower-income households. To make certain would-be homeowners and renters
benefit from the arrangement for years to come, the resale prices and rents of the
housing will be capped, maintaining affordability for the next family.
o Multifamily Cooperative Housing Development
The RDA will facilitate the development of cooperative housing projects to provide a
framework for homeownership by bringing people together to own the building in
which they live. A housing cooperative or"co-op" is a type of residential housing
option that is a corporation whereby the owners do not own their units outright.
Instead, each resident is a shareholder in the corporation based in part on the relative
size of the unit that they live in. The co-op housing model provides low-income
households with a way to accumulate personal wealth, through equity accumulation
and mortgage interest deductions.
• Residential and Mixed-Use Rental Housing Development
The RDA will facilitate the development of rental mixed-income and mixed-use projects that
are part of a larger coordinated effort to co-locate housing with the services and resources to
increase a person's likelihood for upward mobility.
• Other Public Benefits
While it is anticipated that the WCI will focus on affordable housing due to certain funding
source restrictions,there is opportunity to leverage housing projects with broader public
benefits. Furthermore, there is opportunity to broaden the WCI's funding sources,with both
internal and external sources,to expand the eligible activities funded through the WCI. Other
public benefits could include infrastructure improvements (both street and green
infrastructure), housing for a broad array of AMIs,job creation, small-business development,
street activation, publicly visible art,historic preservation, adaptive reuse, neighborhood
services, among others.
IV. Next Steps
RDA staff will incorporate the Board's feedback on the information contained herein and
will return to the Board with the following:
1. Revisions to the RDA Housing Allocation Funds Policy, resolution R-4-2021,to
earmark Inland Port Funds for the WCI. The policy will also be revised to allow for
allocations of other sources of revenue to the initiative.
2. A new policy resolution for the WCI that establishes the purpose, goals, activities,
metrics, and reporting requirements for the initiative.
3. A new policy for a Shared Equity Housing Development program that provides for
homeownership by bringing people together to own the building in which they live
while the land is owned by the RDA, or another entity, to preserve affordability in
perpetuity.

STAFF MEMO
DATE: December 31, 2021
PREPARED BY: Danny Walz
RE: Proposed Revisions to the Agency's Housing Allocation Funds Policy
REQUESTED ACTION: Consideration of a resolution repealing and replacing the RDA
Housing Allocation Funds Policy
POLICY ITEM: RDA Housing Allocation Funds Policy, Resolution No. R-4-2021
BUDGET IMPACTS: Not applicable
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Agency staff requests the Board of Directors ("Board")
consideration of a resolution that would repeal and replace the Housing Allocation Funds policy,
which establishes the guidelines for allocating and directing resources for the development and
preservation of housing. Staff presented the basic terms for a Westside Community Initiative
("WCI")program to the Board in September, 2021. Staff has incorporated the priorities for the
WCI into the Housing Allocation Funds policy along with other amendments that address
broader housing goals and activities.
REDEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: Staff is
scheduled to present the proposed revisions to the Housing Allocation Funds policy to the
Redevelopment Advisory Committee (RAC) on January 5, 2022 and will present any feedback at
the January Board meeting.
ANALYSIS & ISSUES: On February 9, 2021, the Board of Directors adopted the RDA
Housing Allocation Funds policy. The policy provides for the establishment of four housing
funds based on the fund source and allows for the prioritization of a specific purpose, need or
policy objective within each fund. The revenues, expenditures, interest,payments and repayments
for each fund are accounted for separately in order to provide oversight to comply with the various
statutory requirements. The policy also provides that on an annual basis,the RDA shall present a
Housing Development Funding Strategy for the Board's consideration that projects revenues for the
upcoming fiscal year and proposes funding priorities and allocations. This annual report is also

intended to include a summary on housing expenditures,projects, and outcomes. The current policy
is included as Attachment A of the proposed resolution.
In September, 2021, staff briefed the Board on the proposed framework for the WCI. This initial
briefing was in response to the Board's direction to develop a community land trust type
program for the utilization of funds received by the RDA from the Inland Port Authority. To
implement the WCI, it was intended that a separate policy would be created to establish the
specific purpose, goals, activities and reporting requirements for the initiative. It was also
anticipated that the RDA Housing Allocation Funds Policy would be updated to specifically
earmark the Inland Port Housing Funds for the WCI, along with allocations from other revenue
sources. Instead, staff is proposing an amended Housing Allocation Funds Policy that
incorporates the specific priorities for the initiative while integrating it into the overall funding
strategy and reporting structure provided for in policy. Incorporating the WCI into Housing
Allocation Funds Policy allows for some of the broader housing goals and activities, such as the
reporting requirements and the forthcoming Shared Equity Housing Program, to apply to the
other existing housing funds.
Following is a summary of the revisions included in the updated Housing Allocation Funds
Policy along with a description of the specific priorities for the WCI. The redlined changes to
the 2021 policy are included as Attachment B of the proposed resolution.
Proposed revisions to the policy Scope (Section 1): The Scope section has been renamed
to "Purpose"to expand its impact. The description now contains an additional statement
on leveraging resources to incorporate a high level of public benefits to further align with
the Agency's Guiding Framework and Mission.
Proposed revisions to the housing funds descriptions (Section 2): The descriptions for
the three housing funds, excluding the WCI, now include definitions and references to
State statute, the City's Housing Plan and the RDA Project Area Plans that were
previously in the recitals.
Proposed revisions to housing activities (Sections 2.d.ii & 3.a.ii): Within the housing
funds description as well as the Funding Strategy section, the referenced housing
activities have been revised to provide general examples rather than a detailed list of
eligible activities. The reasoning is that Agency housing activities are already authorized
and defined within State statute.
Proposed revisions to reporting requirements (Section 4): The written briefing and
associated information have been incorporated within the annual Funding Strategy rather
than a separate report. This allows the previous year's funding, activities and metrics to
be included along with the priorities and overall strategy for the proposed budget.
Proposed revisions to Northwest Quadrant Housing Fund(Section 2.c): The fund has
been renamed the Westside Community Initiative Fund. It earmarks the Inland Port
Housing funds, along with any revenue from projects to the City's westside. The specific
policy priorities for the WCI are as follows:
2
• Address the potential impacts from Inland Port development activities and
improve opportunity indicators within the westside
It is the intent to utilize the Inland Port Housing Funds to build community
wealth,promote affordable homeownership, and expand opportunity throughout
the City's westside. The RDA will carry out efforts with a collective impact
approach and measurable results.
• Develop and allow for the RDA to maintain ownership of land to ensure
long-term, community serving uses
The WCI will take a long-term approach to land development and community
building by retaining the fee ownership to land and providing opportunities to
receive revenue generation to serve other public benefits.
• Create opportunities for revenue generation that can be reinvested back into
the community while balancing the incorporation of public benefits and
other neighborhood development purposes
The WCI will strive to balance the development of property with the
incorporation of public benefits. Benefits such as affordable housing and below-
market commercial space which generate limited, or no cash flow would
potentially be subsidized with land uses that generate positive cash flow.
Revenue generated by projects will then be reinvested back into the WCI with the
goal of furthering shared prosperity.
• Mitigate gentrification and displacement on the westside
WCI will acquire land with the goal of holding it for the community,thereby
removing land from the speculative market so that it serves low and moderate-
income residents in perpetuity. Housing will remain affordable even as
neighborhood change occurs and gentrification pressures mount, which may
protect families from displacement.
• Give lower income households the opportunity to build wealth through
homeownership and shared equity models of development
WCI will create opportunities for families to buy homes at affordable prices by
focusing on a shared-equity model. A shared-equity model offers an alternative
form of ownership that provides benefits traditional markets cannot, such as long-
term housing affordability and the ability for low and moderate-income families
to go from renting to building wealth.
• Facilitate the implementation of transformative housing and mixed-use
rental housing development projects
Under the statute, funds can be utilized to implement mixed-income projects,
mixed-use projects and related improvements. As such, the WCI will leverage
funds as part of housing projects for a broader array of other public benefits,
including infrastructure improvements, economic opportunity, sustainable
building practices and the redevelopment of undesirable land uses.
3
NEXT STEPS: RDA Staff proposes the following schedule for approval of the amended
Housing Allocation Funds Policy and implementation of the WCI:
January 2022: The Board reviews the draft policy. RDA staff will incorporate any feedback into
the policy resolution for consideration and potential adoption by the Board in March, 2022.
March 2022: The Board considers the policy for adoption.
PREVIOUS BOARD ACTION:
• The Board adopted Resolution No. R-04-2021, RDA Housing Allocation
Funds Policy, February 9, 2021.
• May 2021 —The Board directed RDA staff to develop a proposed program for
a community land trust type program for the City's westside that utilizes
Inland Port Housing Funds.
• September 2021 —RDA Staff briefed the Board on the proposed framework
for the Westside Community Initiative.

RESOLUTION NO.
Repealing and Replacing the Housing Allocation Funds Policy
RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF
SALT LAKE CITY REPEALING AND REPLACING THE RDA HOUSING FUNDS POLICY
WHEREAS, on February 9, 2021,pursuant to Resolution No. R-04-2021,the Board of
Directors of the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City("Board")passed the Housing Allocation
Funds Policy("2021 Policy", attached to this resolution as Attachment A for reference),which
established a policy dedicating and directing resources for the development and preservation of
housing.
WHEREAS,the 2021 Policy established four different housing funds, including the
Northwest Quadrant Housing Fund,which dedicated housing funds received pursuant to Section 11-
58-601(6)(b) of the Utah Inland Port Authority Act("Inland Port Housing Funds")to
neighborhoods adjacent to the proposed location of the Inland Port.
WHEREAS, the Board now desires to repeal and replace the 2021 Policy in order to clarify
the terms of the policy and replace the Northwest Quadrant Housing Fund with a new housing fund
entitled the Westside Community Initiative Fund in order to better direct housing funds to the City's
westside (the redline version of the 2021 Policy is attached to this resolution as Attachment B for
reference).
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF SALT LAKE CITY, the Housing Allocation Funds Policy
adopted pursuant to Resolution No.R-4-2021 is repealed in its entirety and replaced with the following:
