Recommendation(s): |
That the Council receive the update and provide input on the site plan prior to submission of rezoning and development applications for the site.
Background:
• September 2017 <http://chapelhill.granicus.com/MinutesViewer.php?view_id=21&clip_id=3233&doc_id=2307f58a-9404-11e7-8661-00505691bffa>: Town Council dedicated Town-owned land at 2200 Homestead Road for mixed-income affordable housing and authorized the Town Manager to engage potential partners in the discussion.
• June 2018 <https://chapelhill.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=3531765&GUID=2AAB0753-D883-4117-BBFE-3FB157CEA5ED&Options=ID|Text|Attachments|Other|&Search=homestead>: Town Council reviewed a Concept Plan for the site. Based on Council’s guidance, the vision for the site was created. This vision is to develop a mutually supportive, self-sustaining, mixed-income affordable housing community that provides a variety of housing types and maximizes the density of the site.
• November 2018 <https://chapelhill.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=3760315&GUID=212CC318-56AD-416C-A079-39C9F7E37174&Options=&Search=>: Town Council authorized staff to issue a Request for Qualifications to identify a development partner and begin negotiating an agreement to develop the site.
• January 2020: the Town Manager executed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the selected development team, the Homestead Housing Collaborative, comprised of Self Help, Habitat for Humanity of Orange County, CASA, and Community Home Trust. The Town anticipates executing an agreement to develop the site with the Homestead Collaborative once entitlements for the site have been approved.
Since January, Town staff and its design and engineering team have worked with the Homestead Collaborative to draft a site plan that reflects the vision for the site supported by Council and the community interests expressed during initial visioning activities. The development of this site would represent a substantial contribution to the Town’s 5-year goal of adding 400 affordable housing units to the Town’s inventory.
Next Steps: Staff will incorporate feedback received tonight into the site plan and submit the development application in fall 2020. The development team will then conduct additional community engagement and participate in the Town’s development review process.
Fiscal Impact/Resources: There is no immediate fiscal impact for this item. Council will consider additional funding for this project in June when staff presents a recommended Affordable Housing Bond and Affordable Housing Development Reserve funding allocation plan for Town and outside agency projects.
Where is this item in its process?
