19 Mr. Steve Burke Town Manager Luray, Town of 45 East Main Street Luray, VA Friday, January 25, 2019 RE: Luray Village VHDA Tracking Number: 2019-C-65 Dear Mr. Burke: The above referenced development may be submitted to the Virginia Housing Development Authority (VHDA) for a reservation of Low Income Housing Tax Credits. The tax credits apply to the owner s federal tax return, but the VHDA is responsible for allocating the credits to developments within Virginia. We are required by the Internal Revenue Code to provide localities with an opportunity to comment on the developments under consideration. You may have already written a letter, which will be included in the application package submitted by the development sponsor, and if so, we appreciate that input. If not, or if you would like to comment further, you may do so at this time. In order for us to consider your comments, we must receive your letter by Monday, March 11, Neither a letter of support or no comment will qualify the application for points. However, a letter that states that the development is inconsistent with current zoning or other applicable land use regulations may cause the application to receive a negative 25 points (-25). In order for VHDA to consider such opposition letter, it must be accompanied by a legal opinion from the locality s attorney opining that the locality s opposition to the proposed development does not have a discriminatory intent or effect, as described in 24 CFR (a) and 24 CFR (b). For your reference, we have included development information sheets that briefly explain the development and identify the sponsor. I would encourage you to contact the person listed in the Owner Information Section to achieve a better understanding of the proposed development.
