AN ORDIANACNE AMENDING THE TEXT OF THE MOAB
MUNICIPAL CODE (MMC) SECTIONS 17.48 R-3 MULTI-
HOUSEHOLD RESIDENTIAL ZONE, AND 17.51 R-4
MANUFACTURED HOUSING RESIDENTIAL ZONE, TO ADD A
USE PARAMETER REQUIREMENT TO THE MULTI-HOUSEHOLD
PERMITTED USE, THAT 00% OF UNITS BE DESIGNATED AS
ACTIVE EMPLOYMENT UNTIS (AEU) TO QUALIFIED ACTIVE
EMPLOYMENT HOUSEDHOLDS (AEH)
WHEREAS, The Moab Municipal Code Chapter 17.04, Zoning Map Amendments
and Text Amendments, permits the Zoning Text Amendment process to allow
amendments to the use requirements within zoning districts; and
WHEREAS, The proposed amendment to the Permitted Use for Multi-Household
Dwellings in the R-3 Multi-Household Residential Zone, and R-4 Manufactured
Housing Residential Zone, is an amendment to the use parameters, it does not
create an exaction situation whereby an essential nexus and rough proportionality
analysis are required; and
WHEREAS, The City has coordinated and contracted research with BAE urban
economics to supply rational basis and support for the resulting percentage of
designated Active Employment Units to be required as a permitted use parameter in
the identified zoning districts; and
WHEREAS, The Moab City Council formally initiated proceedings to amend the
Moab Municipal Code Section 17.48 R-3 Multi-Household Residential Zone, and
17.51 R-4 Manufactured Housing Residential Zone, through Resolution #33-2021,
approved October 12, 2021, to specifically evaluate the use parameter for a required
percentage of Active Employment Household Unit occupancy in Multi-Household
Developments; and
WHEREAS, from time to time the City undertakes revisions in its zoning ordinances
to improve the quality of land development and align the Code with state law and
contemporary planning concepts; and
WHEREAS, the City has also adopted the 2016 Moab Area Affordable Housing
Plan, the City and other agencies have implemented many of the Plan's
recommendations, and the City is in the process of reviewing additional barriers to
the construction of housing in the community; and
WHEREAS, the City Council is in support of eliminating barriers to increasing the
inventory of workforce housing; and
WHEREAS, the stock of workforce housing in Moab is being replaced by new
townhomes and condominiums that are not affordable for Workforce Housing and
are being built for the second home market; and
WHEREAS, persons employed in Moab are unable to afford housing given current
wage and housing trends; and
WHEREAS, the cost of housing has become increasingly unaffordable, with a
median home prices have increased 22% from last year from $400,000 to $490,000,
which is unsupportable by the annual household median income of $52,000; and
WHEREAS, the lack of affordable housing can result in crowding, undesirable living
conditions, lack of funds available for other basic needs, and a decrease in the
quality of life for Moab workers and their families; and
WHEREAS, the supply of rental units available for workforce housing are at an all-
time low; and
WHEREAS, the Moab City Planning Department has received application or
inquiries for numerous multi-household projects on parcels that currently contain
affordable Workforce Housing that will be removed and replaced by higher-finish
market units that are unaffordable for the Moab area workforce; and
WHEREAS, there are many parcels in Moab that are underutilized and property
owners are selling the properties to developers who intend to remove existing
workforce housing units and replace them with market-rate units that are not
affordable for workforce housing; and
WHEREAS, employers in and around Moab are unable to hire employees because
of this lack of affordable Workforce Housing; and
WHEREAS, the City finds that there is a countervailing public interest to adopt this
Ordinance due to the market conditions that are not supplying the needed numbers
of affordable housing units for Moab; and
WHEREAS, this process is one of many strategies being considered by the City of
Moab to address our workforce housing need; and
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED that the Moab City Council hereby approves
the Text Amendments as follows:

owned by the City. He described the City’s water infrastructure, financial details and touched on
water planning and upcoming capital projects. He mentioned various water supply studies and
covered activities of the recently formed Spanish Valley Regional Water Management
Coordination Group. Williams concluded by describing various local groups that address
watershed concerns. Councilmember Jones asked questions about firefighting response and Mill
Creek flow through town. Councilmember Derasary asked about the water management groups
mentioned and requested clarification on membership. She also asked about a proposed open
house. Both Councilmembers brought up safe yield and potential conflicts with water agencies.
Sustainability Director Dunbar-Irwin reviewed the 2021 Water Conservation Plan and
highlighted accomplishments regarding the Plan’s goals. She mentioned prospects for citizen
incentives for repair of leaking water systems, landscape conversions and installation of smart
irrigation timers. Mayor Langianese mentioned the need for a public education effort in 2022.
Victoria Arling of the WaterNow Alliance, along with Lindsay Rogers and John Berggren of

Boyd, Derasary, Jones, Wojciechowski and Taylor attended remotely. City staff participating
included Acting City Manager Castle, Finance Director and Acting Deputy Manager Ben
Billingsley, Planning Director Cory Shurtleff, Sustainability Director Mila Dunbar-Irwin, Parks,
Recreation and Trails Director Annie McVay, Sports Manager Patrick Trim, Engineer Williams
and Recorder Johnson.
Citizens to Be Heard:
Roslynn McCann of Utah State University expressed disappointment that graywater would no
longer be considered for the building code. She said residences typically used 30 gallons of water
per day for showers and that education alone is not enough to conserve water. Mayor
Langianese stated Sustainability Director Dunbar-Irwin would clarify the graywater issue; she
later clarified graywater is not being eliminated from the building code but will take more work.
Scott McFarland of High Point Hummer stated he is the only legal outfitter since the
implementation of the new noise ordinance that requires outfitters to trailer non-compliant off-
highway rental vehicles to trailheads. He said there is not enough parking at Sand Flats to
accommodate all the vehicles. He requested Council to delay the implementation of the
ordinance for one year until quieter vehicles are available for rental fleets. He claimed it was not
a question of whether business owners were willing to comply but rather that compliant
machines are not available.
Kael Weston, a candidate for the United States Senate, greeted Council.
Ranked Choice Voting—Presentation
Recorder Johnson explained the results of Moab City’s community survey regarding the pilot
November 2021 election utilizing Ranked Choice Voting (RCV). She said there were 103 survey
responses and noted most respondents indicated the ballots were easy to understand and
instructions were clear. She explained most respondents disliked RCV and were dissatisfied with
the voting method. Councilmember Derasary asked that the survey results be posted on the
City’s website. Councilmember Knuteson-Boyd expressed her lack of surprise at the
community’s dissatisfaction with RCV. Councilmember Jones wondered if there were financial
advantages to not having a primary and opined that a minimal petition requirement for
candidates might winnow the field of casual candidates. Jones also asked about clarification
regarding recount triggers. Councilmember Taylor stated his concern that the election was
outsourced to Utah County and hoped that future elections could be conducted in-house.
Recorder Johnson explained Grand County declined the opportunity to conduct an RCV
election. Councilmember Wojciechowski expressed concern that the campaign season was
compressed without a primary, candidates had less exposure to the public, and he stated the
RCV methodology was complicated for a multi-winner race. He said that Utah’s RCV vote-
counting technique favors the majority. Kelleen Potter, Regional Coordinator for Ranked Choice
Voting Resources, discussed House Bill 264, which clarifies when a recount is required, and
makes improvements to the canvass process and determining voter intent. She said jurisdictions
save $2.00 per voter by eliminating the need for a primary election.
Consent Agenda—Approved
Motion and Vote: Councilmember Derasary moved to approve a Special Event Permit for
the Rotary Club’s 2022 April Action Car Show, Minutes for the January 25 and
February 8, 2022, Regular Meetings, and Bills against the City of Moab in the amount of
$225,818.42. Councilmember Knuteson-Boyd seconded the motion. The motion passed 5-0 aye
with Councilmembers Jones, Derasary, Taylor, Wojciechowski and Knuteson-Boyd voting aye.

Pickleball Courts Update—Discussion
Parks, Recreation and Trails Director McVay apprised Council of the City’s inclination to
abandon the proposed pickleball court construction at Old City Park (OCP) along with
accompanying grant funding. She said about 50 persons attended a pickleball demonstration at
the park and a more modest number attended a demonstration at the high school tennis courts
the following day. McVay indicated there has long been interest in pursuing future grant funding
for pickleball court construction at the Old Spanish Trail Area (OSTA) complex. Councilmember
Derasary asked if the City would contribute to the court construction at OSTA. Councilmember
Taylor stated his impression that OCP was a fine location until citizen comments were received.
He requested an effort to define the vision for OCP. Councilmember Knuteson-Boyd thanked
staff and recognized Council needs to be intentional when asking staff to conduct business at the
risk of overwhelming public clamor. Councilmember Jones also thanked staff, suggested higher
level planning for growing demands, and indicated the Change of Use process regarding City-
owned properties is appropriate for this type of project. Councilmember Derasary suggested the
community visioning process might help. Mayor Langianese brought up the prospect of possible
courts at the high school and urged citizens to contact the school board.
Hotspot Funding and Capital Improvements—Discussion
Engineer Williams presented an update on dispersed parking at Emma Boulevard and the
proposed roundabout on 400 North. Councilmember Knuteson-Boyd brought up green
infrastructure opportunities and Councilmember Jones asked about added stalls in the
downtown area. Councilmember Derasary brought up concerns about consequences of creating
a heat island. Councilmember Taylor asked about who is served by the development of the new
parking and brought up the specter of illegal campers. Mayor Langianese asked for clarification
regarding removal of an iconic sycamore tree and a gate on the proposed parking lot. Engineer
Williams stated he would follow up with the nearby churches regarding the proposed plans.
Councilmember Derasary asked that downtown businesses be involved in the dispersed parking
plan and Councilmember Jones brought up concerns about access for delivery trucks at
downtown businesses. He also asked that a prototype area be established to evaluate the
prospective changes. Engineer Williams also described progress on the Moab Area Transit and
Councilmember Taylor expressed concern that local Uber and Lyft drivers would lose work due
to the free transit. Williams stated a public hearing would be held on March 21 in Swanny Park
to hear citizens about the proposed roundabout.

Moab City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: 3/8/22
Title: Salary Survey
Presenter: Dani Guerrero
Attachment(s):
Minimum Rate Comparisons
Survey Range and City Actual Comparison
Conclusion
Recommended Motion:
None – Informational only
Background/Summary:
As outlined in Moab City Policy Manual:
The City is committed to maintaining wage ranges which are competitive with other
communities of comparable size and demographics. Biennially, the Department of
Human Resources conducts a wage and benefits survey of the relevant communities.
Because not all City positions have matches in the established market, a classification
analysis may also be done on each City position in conjunction with the market
survey. This classification analysis considers such factors as education and
experience requirements, supervisory and financial responsibilities, level of risk in
position and the analytical requirements of the position.
2022 Salary Survey
The City conducted a comprehensive salary survey utilizing the services of Personnel Systems Inc.
Survey Methodology
•Review and update job descriptions
•Evaluate positions relative to organizational worth of work values
•Compare those positions pay ranges within a comparable labor market
•Compare “like” positions for consistency
Process
The process began in July of 2021, with Department Heads revising and updating job descriptions. The revised job descriptions were
sent to Personnel Systems Inc. for rating and ranking.
We formed a salary survey committee to review the results from Personnel Systems Inc. During the review process, the committee
compared the job descriptions and the job values. During this review, the committee found some discrepancies in “like” positions and
worked with the Department Heads to correct.
During the survey review the decision was made to use “silos” for the Utilities/Public Works and the Police Officers. This was done for
transparency.
I have included a Minimum Range Comparison and a Survey Range & Actual Comparison for the 3 silos. The new pay plans will be
presented with the budget in a future meeting.

Conclusion
The Range & Staff Actual illustration is the most revealing. The expectation prior to the analysis was that the
average current pay of city employees would likely fall somewhere within the survey range. This expectation
was generally validated.
The trend indicates that current city pay is consistent with market prevailing pay practices in terms of formal
pay structure and career income earning opportunities.
Most pay progression strategies promote advancing employees to the midpoint within a time frame that
mirrors the learning curve for the job and it is generally expected that employees that have 5‐7 years of
experience in the position would have progressed to the midpoint if performance meets expectations.
Those markers falling below the pay range minimum trend line identify positions that would be eligible for a
pay adjustment.
The Least Cost Option will move any position that is below the range to the minimum.

Moab City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: March 8, 2022
Title: Definition of Significant Parcel of Real Property
Presenter: Ben Billingsley, Acting Deputy City Manager
Attachment(s):
- Proposed Ordinance 2022-04 Definition of Significant Parcel of Real
Property
Recommended Motion:
I move approve Ordinance 2022-04, which defines a significant parcel of real
property as a property that exceeds ($100,000) in fair market value, is (1)
acre or larger, or is set aside for, or used as, a public recreation area.
Background/Summary:
The agenda item immediately following this item provides the context for this
item. Utah Code Annotated 10-8-2(4)(b) requires that municipalities must
define a significant parcel of real property.
When a city disposes of a “significant” parcel of property (as self-defined) a
more rigorous public process is required.
Chris McAnany proposed this “significant” threshold upon any one of three
conditions:
1. Value that exceeds $100,000
2. Land area that exceeds 1 acre
3. Set aside or used as a public recreation area
Any of these thresholds can be dialed as seen fit by the city council as part of
the motion to approve.
Regardless of where these levels are set, any sale of property must be
approved by the City Council. After reviewing the proposed sale, the council
could request a public involved process even if it does not meet the
significance threshold but has some other public interest.
1
CITY OF MOAB ORDINANCE NO. 2022-04
AN ORDINANCE ENACTING PROCEDURES FOR DISPOSAL OF PARCELS OF
REAL PROPERTY OWNED BY THE CITY.
The intent and purpose of this ordinance is as follows:
a. From time to time the City may elect to dispose of real property.
b. State law mandates that municipalities must only dispose of real property where it
is in the public interest. See U.C.A. § 10-8-2(1)(a). Additionally, municipalities are bound to
define what is a “significant” parcel of real property and enact elevated procedures for public
participation prior to disposal of significant parcels. Id. at (4)(a).
c. There is a need to provide for guidance, consistency, and transparency with
respect to City real property transactions.
Therefore, the City enacts the following:
Chapter 2.32
Disposal of Real Property
2.32.010 Definitions.
A. “Adequate consideration” means cash or other things of value at least equal to a
real property’s fair market value.
B. “Disposal” means the conveyance or transfer of an interest in land, including by
sale, exchange, lease, grant of an easement, or the grant of an option.
C. “Real property” means land and improvements affixed to land.
D. “Significant parcel” means real property: i) having a fair market value in excess
of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000); ii) having a land area in excess of one acre (43,560
square feet); or iii) set aside for, or used as, a public park or public recreation area.
2.32.020 Policy.
A. It is the general policy of the City to retain all real property and real property
interests that it owns in-trust for the present and future benefit of the City and its residents. The
City may dispose of lands that are not needed for municipal purposes. Prior to disposing of real
property the City should give due consideration to: i) existing and planned utility needs; ii)
existing and planned roads, sidewalks, and non-motorized trails; iii) needs for open space,
recreation areas, or other public facilities; iv) existing or planned municipal buildings and
2
structures; and v) advisory documents of the City [i.e. road plans, utility plans or the General
Plan].
B. Real property held by the City is only subject to disposal if it is determined that:
i) the real property is not needed for present or reasonably anticipated City operations; ii) the
conveyance is in the public interest; and iii) the conveyance is made in exchange for adequate
consideration. The disposal of real property by the City is a legislative act approved by the City
Council by ordinance or resolution, as appropriate.
2.32.030 Significant Parcels.
A. Prior to disposing of a significant parcel of real property the City Council shall
first hold a public hearing allowing for comment on the proposed transaction. The City shall
provide reasonable public notice disclosing the date, time, and place of the hearing, as well as a
statement describing the subject property in reasonable detail and explaining the purpose of the
hearing. The public shall be provided access to all relevant details of the proposed transaction.
B. The notice of public hearing shall be given not less than fourteen (14) days prior
to the hearing via: i) publication on the Utah public notice website; ii) at least one (1) publication
in a newspaper of general circulation in Moab; and iii) via posting on the City’s website.
2.32.040 Exemptions.
A. The following transactions are exempt from the provisions of this Chapter:
1. Parcels conveyed as part of a boundary line agreement;
2. Parcels conveyed or created by a right-of-way vacation, plat amendment, or
easement vacation;
3. Leases or conveyances executed between the City and other governmental
entities; or
4. Settlements of boundary or title disputes, whether judicially approved or
otherwise.
2.32.050 Appraisal.
A. If the City reasonably believes that a proposed transaction may involve a
Significant Parcel, as defined by this Chapter, it shall first obtain an appraisal of the fair market
value of the parcel from a suitably qualified real estate appraiser. The appraised value is not
binding upon the parties, but it may be used to inform the City in the review of any proposed
transaction. The City may require that a prospective purchaser pay for the costs of appraisal as
3
part of the transaction terms.
PASSED AND APPROVED by a majority of the City of Moab City Council. This
ordinance shall take effect immediately upon passage.

Moab City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: March 8, 2022
Title: Resolution 09-2022 Sale of Remnant Parcel
Presenter: Ben Billingsley, Acting Deputy City Manager
Attachment(s):
- Proposed Resolution 09-2022 Sale of Remnant Parcel
- Proposed Quit Claim Deed
Recommended Motion:
I move approve Resolution 09-2022, a resolution authorizing the sale of a
remnant parcel of real property.
Background/Summary:
The residential property at 388 E 100 S is currently for sale and under
contract. During the due diligence process, a property line problem was
identified, wherein the city owned a small parcel of land (0.04 acres). The
home was constructed encroaching on this city owned parcel.
The City of Moab acquired the parcel by tax deed in 1975. This parcel holds no
value in the public domain, and staff recommends the sale at an agreed upon
rate of $11,200 based on proportional assessed property valuation.
1
CITY OF MOAB RESOLUTION NO. 09-2022
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SALE OF A REMNANT PARCEL OF REAL
PROPERTY
The following describe the intent and purpose of this resolution:
a. The City of Moab is the record owner of a parcel of real property consisting of
approximately one thousand six hundred and ninety (1,690) square feet and located at 390 East
100 South, Tax Parcel No. 01-0B10-0013 (the Parcel).
b. The Parcel was acquired by the City via tax deed in 1975.
c. City staff has evaluated the Parcel and concluded that it has no utility for any
present or future City purposes and there is no City infrastructure within its boundaries.
d. Property owners of the adjacent parcel to the west have expressed a desire to
purchase the Parcel from the City.
e. Based on staff investigation, current lot assessed valuation in Moab is seventy
thousand dollars ($70,000) per quarter acre lot. The proportionate valuation of the subject Parcel
is eleven thousand two hundred dollars ($11,200). The City has conferred with the adjacent
property owners and they are willing to purchase the Parcel for that sum.
f. Utah law authorizes municipalities to dispose of unneeded real property if the
conveyance is in the public interest and compliant with other law. U.C.A. 10-8-2(1)(a).
Pursuant to U.C.A. 10-8-2(4)(a) specific public hearing procedures are required prior to
disposition of “significant” parcels of real property. The City concludes that the subject Parcel is
not a “significant” real estate holding, as would be subject to such a process.
THEREFORE, the City resolves as follows:
1. The foregoing findings are incorporated and adopted into this resolution. The City finds
that the conveyance is in the public interest and the subject Parcel has no value for present or
future City needs. The sum of eleven thousand two hundred dollars ($11,200) represents
payment of fair market value for the conveyance of the Parcel.
2. The Mayor is hereby authorized to sign the attached quit claim deed, Exhibit A, in
exchange for receipt of eleven thousand two hundred dollars ($11,200), which sum shall be paid
by the grantees in good funds available for immediate withdrawal (wire or certified funds check)
simultaneously with the delivery of the deed. All costs of the transaction shall be paid by the
grantees, as identified in the deed.
3. The conveyance is made without warranty of any kind to the grantees.

Title: Approval of the 5 Year Transit Pilot Project Budget
Disposition: Discussion and possible action
Staff Presenter: Chuck Williams, City Engineer
Attachment(s): Attachment 1 – Original Adopted Budget Attachment 2 – Proposed Alternative Budget including FTA ARPA Funds dated March 8, 2022
Recommended Motion: “I move to Approve a Proposed Alternative Budget dated March 8, 2022, including FTA ARPA Funds and Authorize the Mayor to sign appropriate Contract Documentation as needed.”
Background/Summary: In Senate Bill 277, the 2017 Legislature approved the use of $100 million for transportation improvements in areas with recreation and tourism activity that currently experience significant congestion. With that criteria, UDOT established a prioritization process and the Utah Transportation Commission identified four areas that warranted further evaluation, which included the City of Moab. This project was subsequently awarded funds through the Utah Transportation Commission in conjunction with two other projects: a trail in Spanish Valley and a dispersed parking project in the City. The City is not directly involved with the trail project and the dispersed parking project has been addressed by Council as a separate project. Last year, Council approved a negotiated agreement with UDOT establishing annual funding obligations and administrative roles between the City and UDOT for the development and operation of a Transit Pilot Program. In that agreement UDOT will reimburse the City for up to $1,585,000 towards the project. Total annual reimbursement available will decrease each year over the course of a five year schedule. City financial and administrative obligation will be ongoing as long as the Moab Area Transit (MAT) system remains in service. Per the budget originally associated with the UDOT agreement the City has also pursued additional funding through the Federal Transit Authority (FTA). These funds are administered by UDOT and are not available in the first year of operation. (See attachment 1). In addition, the City staff pursued FTA American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds for the MAT and has been awarded a “no cost share” amount of $1 million for the project. If Council approves the “Proposed Alternative Budget dated March 8, 2022 including FTA ARPA Funds” the City will accept the FTA ARPA funds and increase the original level of service by:
• Adding 1 fixed route vehicle in year one and evaluating system for the future years
• Add a ½ time Transit Coordinator
• Add shuttle stop improvements if appropriate locations are found Staff recommends adoption of the “Proposed Alternative Budget dated March 8, 2022 including FTA ARPA Funds” so that the City can provide an increased level of service with the Moab Area transit system.

Project Information
In October 2018, the City of Moab purchased a 38-unit mobile home (or “trailer”) park located
at 250 Walnut Lane in Moab, UT 84532. The City intends to partner with a developer to
redevelop the property to an 80-unit, affordable, sustainable, mixed-income development to be
known as the Walnut Lane Apartments.
The developer selected by the city must be willing to complete the following as part of the
project:
• Design a new project for the property containing a vibrant mix of uses.
• Lease the property at a price to be negotiated with the city, taking into account the
project requirements.
• Construct and operate the project per future agreements with the city.
Site Characteristics
The property is adjacent to the Moab Regional Hospital campus and a mix of single -family and
multi-family residential developments. It is proximate to downtown Moab, which offers a
variety of commercial services and amenities for residents and tourists. Nearby community
amenities include the Moab Valley Multicultural Center, Swanny Park, and the Moab Recreation
and Aquatic Center. Many current residents rely on active transportation methods to travel to
work and to access these and other community amenities.
The site includes two parcels and is approximately 2.91 acres and is zoned as R-4.
Strategic Objectives
The city established the following objectives for the project. A developers’ abilityto support the
achievement of these objectives will be continually considered, balanced and clarified
throughout the procurement, selection and implementation stages of the process in
collaboration with the selected Developer.
Planned Affordable Development
The developer shall redevelop the property using the Planned Affordable Development (PAD)
overlay, which grants higher density and other development incentives in exchange for deed -
restricted affordable units. PAD affordable units are subject to deed r estrictions that preserve
affordability for at least fifty (50) years and must make up at least seventy percent (70%) of the
total units in the development. For more information about the Planned Affordable
Development, consult Moab Municipal Code Section 17.68.
Tenant Displacement
One of the city’s primary goals during the redevelopment of Walnut Lane is to provide
adequate housing for the current residents of the Walnut Lane Trailer Park. Of the original 38
initial units, 27 units are presently occupied. The city is seeking creative solutions to relocate or
phase the project to not displace current tenants. It is anticipated that these families and
individuals will be granted priority for the new units produced from redevelopment.
Any proposed solutions specifically addressing the tenant displacement objective should be
clearly identified, along with the incremental cost of the proposed solution. For example, if the
developer anticipated a percentage increase in total project costs related to a phased approach
to construction, this should be identified.
Sustainability
The City of Moab has established rigorous sustainability and housing affordability go als and
expects the developer to balance affordability and sustainability in all phases of the project.
Priority shall be granted to firms that have demonstrable experience with Net-Zero or energy
efficient building standards including, but not limited to: the International Living Future
Institute (ILFI)’s Zero Energy Certification Energy Star Homes, Enterprise Green Communities,
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), Home Energy Rating System (HERS)
Score of 50 or below, or similar.
However, the City shall grant higher priority to Firms that demonstrate sustainability and
affordability in the proposal and requests specific experience with affordable and/or federally
funded housing projects. The City’s highest priority for Walnut Lane is to ensure permanently
affordable housing for all current and future resents of the development.
Program Assumptions
Respondents should formulate an affordable housing program that creates the best economics
and long-term project viability, and supportable given current market conditions while
addressing the city’s objectives.
Property Lease
It is currently envisioned that the developer will design, build, finance, operate and maintain
the Project under a long-term ground lease with the city. The city will maintain unsubordinated
ownership of the fee interest in the site during the project period.
Financing
Developer will be responsible for financing the entire cost of the project, including
redevelopment costs such as design, engineering, and other studies along with development
costs, such as infrastructure and construction costs, through its own equity, borrowing, tax
credits, governmental incentives, or other sources of funds. In approaching the development of
these projects, the Developer should be careful not to rely exclusively upon tax credit financing.
The city believes that such an approach restricts the market of individuals who can reside at the
project and does not allow for the creation of a true mixed income community. The city
encourages the development of profitable market rate units to serve as a mechanism for
maximizing the number of affordable units to be developed.
Regulatory
Developer will be responsible for procuring all necessary regulatory approvals for construction
and operation of the project.
Stakeholders
Developer must actively seek input from community stakeholders, residents, and the city
during the planning phase of all projects. The final development plan must be approved by the
city in accordance with all planning and zoning requirements. Transparency and communication
are key components of community trust and confidence in public housing . Engagement and
active participation of residents, businesses, neighborhood associations, governmental officials
and agencies, and other community stakeholders is a mandatory requirement under this
solicitation. It is expected that the developers will schedule and coordinate meetings,
community workshops and other public forums to assure that all stakeholders in the
development process are continuously kept abreast of ongoing activity. All community activities
and dissemination of public information shall be coordinated with the city staff.
Design and Construction Standards
The Affordable Housing Project will conform to all current state and local design criteria
including any requirements from federal loan programs. These current standards include but
are not limited to the following current codes: International Building Code of 2021 (including
but not limited to: Plumbing, Mechanical, Electrical, etc.), OSHA, Utah State Fire Marshal,
National Electric Code, Uniform Mechanical Code, ADA Act Title III, 2011: ADAAG, all HUD
Housing requirements, and the specific requirements listed in this RFP. Design of Structural,
Civil, Mechanical and Electrical systems must be by a licensed Engineer with current registration
in Utah. Design of Architectural systems must be by a licensed Architect with current
registration in Utah. Design teams must be listed in the developer’s proposal, with resumes and
qualification of each discipline’s key designer. All work performed by the design team will
require stamped Architectural/Engineering Construction Documents, Specification, Calculations
and Clarifications required during construction. The Design team will be required to provide site
observation during construction and be present for project closeout/punch list activities. The
Design team will provide a complete and accurate set of as-built record drawings (hard copy
and electronic copy). The Design team will be contracted with the Developer for all services on
this project.
Selection
The city expects to promptly enter into a Pre-Development Agreement with the Developer(s)
selected through the RFP process. In the event that the city cannot agree to pre-development
terms with its first selected Developer, it may choose to initiate negotiations with another
Respondent.
The Pre-Development Agreement will establish a basis for the negotiation of a definitive ground
lease and ancillary documents, and it will govern the relationship between the city and the
developer. It will outline developer and city responsibilities for repayment of expenses, should
the Project not move forward. The city is committed to sharing with the selected developer the
pre-development risk in an equitable fashion through financial close. The city will seek to
preserve all customary rights and extend all necessary support as outlined by the executed pre-
development agreement.
Submission Requirements
Brevity is appreciated. Responses must be submitted in the following format (page limits in
parentheses):
Cover Letter (10 pages)
Provide a cover letter that includes a statement of qualifications. Please note that it is the city’s
expectation that teams will remain intact throughout the process, as the qualifications of the
teams will be a significant factor in the review and qualification of respondents. Include a
statement acknowledging that the terms and conditions remain intact for 90 days from the
date of submission.
Project Approach (5 pages)
Provide a summary of how the project will support the city’s objectives (provide examples).
Respondents should also provide a high-level narrative of how they intend to work with the city
and other stakeholders throughout the development process, including any necessary Project
Site approvals.
Project Vision (5 pages)
Provide a narrative, with illustrations as warranted, of your concept for the project. Specifically
state how the vision addresses the objectives. Provide information on development concept,
building design, configuration, size, and type of housing. Describe how the project design and
operations will reflect and recognize the diversity (socioeconomic, cultural, age, gender
identity, race/ethnicity and generational) of the residents served. Highlight design elements
that will achieve the city’s goals of creating an enriching environment for residents. Discuss
aspects of the project, such as sustainable features while balancing affordability.
Project Structure (3 pages)
Discuss the proposed Project structure and the rationale for its use. Detail the nature of the
agreements that need to be executed between the developer and the city and between the
Developer and other service providers and describe how these agreements will isolate the city
from Project liability. Describe how different sources of funding are brought into the Project.
Provide an organizational chart that visualizes these interrelationships.
Project Economics (5 pages, not including Excel printouts)
Each Respondent must provide a fully functional Excel model that details the Project’s
assumptions regarding program, financing, development, stabilization, and operations. The
narrative should highlight the following aspects of the economic proposal (which should be
included in detail in the spreadsheet):
Sources and Uses of Funds – What are the assumed terms used for any debt and/or equity to
be used for the Project? Attention will be paid to interest rates, terms, amortization periods,
call provisions, and other key factors. IRR and hold period requirements for equity will be
examined.
Program – The calculations for the Project program should show how gross and net square
footage are calculated and how external amenities are accounted for in the spreadsheet.
Address how the proposed unit mix is responsive to PAD zoning. Provide a description of non-
residential uses, including proposed square footage, and the anticipated use or uses. As an
appendix, include floor plans for the building and all unit types, bed configurations and rental
rates.
Budget – Is the project budget sufficient to accomplish the envisioned program? Address the
potential to offer both full-year and seasonal leases. Hard and soft costs should include, but not
be limited to, project contingencies, development fees, fees for pre-development and
construction period (i.e., legal, advisory, and project management), legal costs, capitalized
interest and other project financing costs. How are costs escalated to reflect inflation? Identify
any expectation of city involvement.
Revenues and Expenses – Show projected rent and a detailed operating budget.
Cash Flow – Projections should capture both development and operational period cash flows
and show how revenue is treated throughout the proforma. Assumptions regarding stabilized
vacancy, effective gross revenue, prioritized ground rent payments (if any), OPEX, net operating
income, reserve capitalization, debt service, and treatment of residual cash flow will be
evaluated. The narrative should explain any unique features of the financing, such as a modified
debt service schedule that conforms to debt service coverage requirements and/or is used to
raise additional debt.
Property Management Approach (5 pages)
Critical to the success of the project is the ongoing, operation of the housing community as a
viable, affordable, attractive, and safe environment for residents. Respondents should provide
their approach to property management. This should include how the management will
continuously achieve the objectives. Describe the approach to addressing equity through
project operation. Include at a minimum the marketing plan, residential life plan, safety and
security plan, capital improvement plan, and deferred maintenance schedule (including a
schedule for unit remodeling and refurbishing and how the cost will be accounted for in the
Project pro forma). Describe the process from initial engagement to stabilized operations.
Describe how the project will be integrated, both physically and managerially, into the
Developer’s portfolio of existing properties. If the Project presents any unique property
management concerns, please discuss and suggest mitigative actions the Respondent would
undertake.
Project Schedule (3 pages, not including Project worksheet)
Respondents must provide a Microsoft Project (or equivalent) worksheet with a detailed
Project delivery schedule, beginning from the execution of the Predevelopment Agreement,
which should occur shortly after award. In the narrative, describe the time necessary to achieve
