Main Street subject to multiple contingencies. One of these contingencies required that: Prior to demolishing the Utah Theater, the RDA ensures historic elements of the theater are sufficiently documented through measured drawings,film,photographs, and/or written data to provide a detailed record to the Board and public of the property's significance. To satisfy this requirement,the RDA released an RFP for the Theater's historic documentation in March of 2020 and the selection committee ultimately chose local design firm Modern Out West to complete the project. Modern Out West's team began their documentation work inside the Theater in July of 2020. This work involved diligently sketching,painting, scanning,photographing and filming the Theater building to create the following deliverables: • Updated intensive level survey to the Utah State Historic Preservation Office's standards involving the collection of Sanborn maps, original blueprints,newspaper clippings,tax files,title reports,historic concert programs, etc. • Experimental drawings including pencil sketches,charcoal drawings,watercolors and streetscapes of the existing and original building • Architectural drawings including a site plan, elevations, floor plans, cross sections,reflected ceiling plans, analytiques and detailed drawings of architecturally significant features throughout the building • Photographs including a collection of historic photos as well as new,professional photos taken of the existing building and architecturally significant features • Drone video footage of the Theater's interior • 3D scan of the building and associated point cloud data • Virtual reality tour of the building • Interactive online archive/website accessible to the public at https://pta.lib.utah.edu/ SALT LAKE CITY CORPORATION 451 SOUTH STATE STREET,ROOM 118 WWW.SLC.GOV WWW.SLCRDA.COM P.O.BOX 145518,SALT LAKE CITY,UTAH 84114-5518 TEL 801-535-7240 FAX 801-535-7245 Modern Out West completed their work on November 1, 2020. The material was submitted to the Utah State Historic Preservation Office(SHPO)per their intensive level survey requirements. SHPO's digital archives are housed by the University of Utah's J. Willard Marriott Library where the materials created as a part of this project can be accessed by the public. Any originals that were created such as the pencil sketches, charcoal drawings and watercolors were donated to the Marriott Library to keep within their physical archives. All of the materials were also submitted digitally to the RDA. The Salt Lake City Recorder's Office is currently working on the creation of a retention schedule for the archives,which will eventually be scanned into the City's Laserfiche system that can be accessed internally. In addition to these required archives, a substantial amount of the project materials were compiled and included on an interactive website that can be accessed publicly at https://pta.lib.utah.edu/.Here,the public can read more about the Theater's history and namesake Alexander Pantages,view photographs and architectural drawings,and even take a virtual tour of the Theater. The website link will be posted on the RDA's and City Planning's websites and the virtual tour is also accessible on Google Maps. The Marriott Library will host the website for at least five years, after which they will review their digital preservation plan and capacity to continue hosting the site. Marriott staff have also indicated that they may create a physical exhibit with the project materials in addition to collecting oral histories from those who visited the Theater during its heyday. The RDA is grateful for the work Modern Out West has done not only for creating an extremely thorough archive,but for capturing the spirit of the Theater's true grandeur and preserving its memory forever.

POLICY ITEM: Affordable housing. BUDGET IMPACTS: N/A. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Over the past several months, the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City ("RDA") has been working to establish a Housing Development Loan Program ("Program") intended to provide a one-stop-shop for community partners to access resources for the development and preservation of affordable housing. To this end, a Housing Development Loan Program policy resolution is provided as Attachment A for consideration by the Redevelopment Advisory Committee ("RAC"). The formation of the Program has been several months in the making. During this time,RDA Staff has provided multiple briefings to RAC and the RDA Board of Directors ("Board") on various RDA housing topics, including housing activities, requirements, and outcomes. Additionally, in February of 2020, RDA Staff briefed the Board on the Draft Salt Lake City Housing Implementation Framework, jointly developed by the RDA, Department of Community and Neighborhoods ("CAN") and Division of Housing and Neighborhood Development ("HAND"), that defines the roles and responsibilities of housing activities across City divisions and departments. This framework includes the centralization of City and RDA housing development resources under the RDA. In December of 2020, RAC recommended approval of an RDA Housing Allocation Funds Policy ("Funds Policy") that establishes guidelines for allocating and directing resources for the development and preservation of housing. The Funds Policy was adopted by the Board in February of 2021. The last step of the process to centralize access to housing development resources is the establishment of the Program as discussed herein. SALT LAKE CITY CORPORATION 451 SOUTH STATE STREET, ROOM 118 WWW.SLC.GOV•WWW.SLCRDA.COM P.O. BOX 145518, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84114-5518 TEL 801-535-7240 FAX 801-535-7245 ANALYSIS & ISSUES: A draft Housing Development Loan Program Policy resolution is provided as Attachment A for the RAC's review and consideration. Once approved by the Board, this policy is intended to be utilized for the deployment of any housing funds allocated to the RDA for the construction and preservation of affordable housing. Highlights of the policy include the following: • Purpose: The purpose of the program is to provide low cost financial assistance to incentivize the development and preservation of affordable housing within Salt Lake City municipal boundaries. The HDLP shall provide a centralized application, underwriting, and approval process regardless of the fund source. • Intent: While specific funding priorities shall be established on an annual basis, the policy provides several overarching intent statements to clarify the desired outcomes of the HDLP. These intent statements include items relating to the equitable distribution of affordable housing, that funding be provided as a loan and not a grant, anti-displacement, and sustainability among others. • Funding Allocations & Priorities: On an annual basis, funding allocations and priorities for the HDLP shall be proposed to the Board through the annual budget process as established in the Funds Policy. Thereby establishing a process for HDLP resources to be directed to specific policy priorities depending on current needs and objectives. • Administration of Funds: Provides for the administration of funds through a transparent notice of funding availability ("NOFA") process. Various sources of funds may be combined into a consolidated NOFA or a NOFA may be issued for a specific funding source. NOFAs could be offered on an annual basis or multiple times per year and can be competitive or open-ended depending on availability of funds, priorities, and demand. • Underwriting Guidelines: Creates standardized underwriting guidelines for three types of loans: 1)Gap Financing: Rental Construction to Permanent, 2) Property Acquisition, and 3) Gap Financing: Homeownership Construction. A uniform set of underwriting policies shall set expectations for both applicants and the Board. • Approval Process: Establishes a standardized approval process that includes a unified review committee that will evaluate applications and provide a recommendation to the Board for consideration. Previously, the review and approval process for affordable housing development loans has varied based on the source of funds and/or program. PREVIOUS BOARD ACTION: • December 2017: The Board adopted a motion directing RDA Staff to draft an RDA Housing Allocation Policy. • 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. • 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. • 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. • 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. • 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.
