15 Affordable Housing Program 15 The Applicant will provide $175,000 in payment to the Town of Chapel Hill to the Affordable Housing Fund or as designated by the Town Manager. The Applicant will provide 50 affordable dwelling Units to the Town or its assigns (an entity or entities designated by the Town) to be leased at or below the 80% AMI level. The number of Units provided may be reduced if fewer than 346 Units are constructed for some unforeseen reason, but the Applicant will provide no less than 15% of the actual number of Units built. The Units will be guaranteed as available to the Town or assigns (any entity or entities designated by the Town) at a lease rate at or below the 80% AMI level.

16 Affordable Housing Program 16 Units will be guaranteed to the Town of Chapel in a similar manner as when affordable Units are committed to the Town in a for sale development project. By way of example, in the for sale scenario, the developer conveys the affordable new dwelling Units customarily to Community Home Trust at the affordable purchase price and then Community Home Trust owns the property and can sell 99-year leasehold interests to qualified persons. In this SUP Modification application, the Applicant will provide 15% of its built apartment Units as affordable Units to the Town of Chapel Hill or its designee. The Town will have the right to lease the Units from the Applicant at a rate guaranteed to be at or below the 80% AMI rate. The Town will also have the right to sublease to any qualified Applicant at a rate acceptable to the Town or Town s designee. The Town or its designee will be responsible for the lease payment to the Applicant. Lease terms to the Town will be renewable, one year term leases. The term will run from August 1 st to July 31 st. The Town s window each year to act on its guaranteed Lease right for the Affordable Units will be on or before Feb 28 th of any year. All final documents for the Lease program between the Applicant and the Town shall be finalized on or before December 31 st prior to the first leasing period (estimated to be three years from SUP Approval). The Applicant or its counsel will assist the Town between Approval of this SUP Modification and build-out to create the necessary mechanics to implement this affordable lease program in a satisfactory manner prior to the end of build-out. This would include being available for meetings with the Town or any non-profit designee agency and working on mutually acceptable documentation for the affordable leasing Units.
