Managers
Kate Werrett, Project Manager provided a briefing on the Housing and Transit Reinvestment Zone Creation to
the RAC members. She explained the general State requirements which include:
• Property Tax Maximum Increment Participation: 80%
• Sales Tax Increment Maximum Participation: 15%
• Housing:
o At least 10% affordable housing (80%AMI)
o Must include a mixture of housing units&bedroom counts
• Land Use: 51% residential
• Density: average or 50+units/acre
• HTRZ Administration Fees: 1% of the HTRZ funds+gap analysis expenses
• Application Process:

o HTRZ Committee reviews and approves/declines application
• If approved,taxing entities are required to participate.
Ms.Werrett explained the transit type differences allowed with in the HTRZ regulations. She said HTRZs around
Frontrunner stations offer the largest acreage(125)and longest tax increment(TI)term (25 years within a 45-
year period); she added that unlike a CRA, the parcels do not need to be connected and the boundary is 1/3 mile
from the Frontrunner station. Ms.Werrett said the boundaries from TRAX/S-LINE and BRT is'/4 mile with
maximum acreage of 100 and the TI term is 15 years within a 30-year period. She also said that the number of
HTRZ in each county is 8 for TRAX, 3 for BRT and is undefined for Frontrunner stations.
Ms.Werrett described the difference between an HTRZ and a CRA:
HTRZ CRA
Creation • HTRZ proposal submitted to Governor's Office of • Survey Resolution adopted by RDA Board

• Up to 15%of state sales tax contributed to the

Ms.Werrett said the HTRZ Act 63N-3-607 details how the funds may be used to pay for a portion of the costs
associated with development including the following:
• Income targeted housing costs
• Structured parking
• Enhanced development costs
• Horizontal and Vertical construction costs
• Property acquisition
• Public infrastructure
• HTRZ Administration including the State's gap analysis
Ms.Werrett said the RDA Board liked the idea of using the funds for targeted housing and public infrastructure.
She explained the city and state objectives for HTRZ's, including increased public transit utilization, increase in
housing, including affordable and air quality improvement among others(see attached).
Ms.Werrett shared potential HTRZ locations that RDA staff have identified:
• Intermodal Hub
o Station Center Project
o Green Loop
o First and Last Mile Improvements
o East-West Connectivity
• 650 South Main TRAX
o Grand Boulevards
o Public Right-of-Way& Infrastructure

• Sugar House S-Line(Fairmont or Sugarmont Stations)
o Support Transit Extension

o Developer Requests:
■ Housing Project Support
Ms.Werrett said that the creation of an HTRZ is something that is desirable across the board but ensuring it is
done in an equitable manner is very important. She explained that RDA staff plan to release a Request for
Information (RFI)for different areas to allow developers, property owners,and stakeholders to submit their ideas
for their properties. She added that should a developer submit their idea or plans, Staff could then include those
plans in the application. Ms. Werrett said that when the application is submitted,the income staff reports as
potential revenue must be as accurate as possible because it creates a cap on how much can be collected. Next
steps include releasing the RFI and submitting proposals to the state.
B. Accessory Dwelling Unit Financing Program—Austin Taylor, Project Manager
Austin Taylor, Project Manager, presented the proposed RDA Accessory Dwelling Unit(ADU) Financing
Program to the Committee. He explained the goals of this program which include increase the supply of naturally
affordable rental housing, increase density in low-density neighborhoods, provide low-to-moderate income
homeowners in formerly redlined areas a wealth building opportunity and increase neighborhood stability and
investment.
Mr. Taylor said that Agency staff is looking to launch an ADU pilot program in the 9-Line Project Area for a
variety of reasons including, but not limited to:
• Historic redlining
• $232K average home values
• $48k median household income
• 8,000 square foot median lot size
• 89%of residential land zoned R1
• 4.1 average family size
He added that Salt Lake County said if the Agency focused on this area,creating a program within five years,
they would increase their tax increment participation.
Mr. Taylor said some of the challenges include zoning restrictions such at setbacks, maximum ADU size, height
limit, limited to single family homes and conditional use permit. He added that construction costs are between
$100,000 and$250,000 with a 15% year-on-year increase, and financing options are limited. Mr. Taylor
explained the process the Agency staff have taken to date including stakeholder interviews, financial program
surveys,organizing city-wide ADU task force, participating in local and national ADU-related discussions and
drafting the pilot project RFQ.
Mr.Taylor said the program preferences the Agency will include in the RFQ are as follows:
• Loans or grants
• Landlord training and tenant screening
• Attached and detached ADUs
• Cost-cutting strategies
• Compliance monitoring
• Affordability for tenants and owners
Discussion
• Ms. O'Grady confirmed that these units would be restricted from short term, overnight rentals.
• Ms. O'Grady said she would advocate for deed restriction for affordability for a specific length of time, in
exchange for cheap money.
• Ms. Rowland confirmed that the owner is required to occupy the property.
• Mr. Baxter said the goal to prevent people from being priced out of where they live is ambitious and
suggested looking into financing options that work with prefab ADUs.
• Mr. Peterson asked if there is a variance process on the size of the ADU. Mr. Taylor said that Planning
Commission is looking into establishing a maximum size of 800 square foot rather than being tied to the
size of the main house.
• Mr. Peterson recommended using social media to reach out about this program and get people
engaged.
• Mr. Baxter suggested reaching out to utility companies regarding an incentive partnership.
• Mr. Doughty asked whether it's been investigated how much property tax would increase with an ADU
on site. Mr. Taylor said he reached out to an appraiser who said average property values will increase
$100,000 to$150,000 and property tax would increase approximately$1,000 per year.
