Title:Clay/Chitwood Property Options
Date: July 27, 2011
Submitted By: Linda Reid, Housing Program Specialist
Question
Would the Housing Commission like to amend the recommendation made at the June 22 regular
meeting?
Background
At the June 22 regular Housing Commission meeting the Housing Commission reviewed the options put
forward by staff regarding the next steps with the remaining property located at 360 Clay Street and the
recently available Chitwood property.
Housing Commission Recommendation
Issue and RFP for both the Clay Street and Chitwood properties to develop a mixed income
development that includes affordable rental and ownership housing targeted to households at 120% Area
Median Income and below.
Staff Proposed Options
Option #1: Land Bank-Given current land values, in the event the property is to be sold in whole or in
part for market rate development the Commission, and ultimately the Council, may want to consider
delaying a sale until a later date when market conditions have improved in order to maximize returns.
Further, delaying a final decision on disposition may be an alternative should the Commission or
Council desire to complete a detailed analysis of housing needs prior to determining the mix of income
and unit types to be provided.
Option #2: Sell the land for Market Value-
Determine market value of property (see comparable property estimates attached)
Public hearing on disposition of public property
Execute purchase and sale agreement
Option #3: Soliciting a proposal for an affordable/mixed-income development-
Determine development potential
Develop RFP for property
HC review of RFP
Council review and issuance of RFP
Developer selection
HC recommendation/Council decision
Public hearing on disposition of public property
Execute purchase and sale agreement
