BOARD OF SUPERVISORS BUSINESS MEETING ACTION ITEM Date of Meeting: June 23, 2016 # 7 SUBJECT: ELECTION DISTRICT: CRITICAL ACTION DATE: STAFF CONTACTS: Initiation of Amendments to Article 7 of the Revised 1993 Loudoun County Zoning Ordinance and Chapter 1450 of the Codified Ordinances of Loudoun County to Amend the Regulations Applicable to the Loudoun County Affordable Dwelling Unit Program That Conflict With Affordable Housing Funding Assistance Requirements of the VHDA, HUD and Other State and Federal Housing Programs Countywide At the pleasure of the Board Mark Stultz, Zoning Administrator, Planning & Zoning Ricky Barker, Director, Planning & Zoning Sarah Coyle Etro, Assistant Director, Family Services Kelly Marrocco, Housing Development Program Manager, Family Services PURPOSE: Initiate amendments to the Revised 1993 Loudoun County Zoning Ordinance and the Codified Ordinances of Loudoun County to amend the regulations applicable to the Loudoun County Affordable Dwelling Unit Program that conflict with affordable housing funding assistance requirements of the Virginia Housing Development Authority (VHDA), the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and other State and Federal housing programs. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors (Board) adopt the Resolution of Intent to Amend the Revised 1993 Loudoun County Zoning Ordinance provided in Attachment 1 and initiate amendments to the Codified Ordinances of Loudoun County to amend to the regulations applicable to the Loudoun County Affordable Dwelling Unit (ADU) Program to facilitate the process for providers of affordable housing in the County to obtain funding assistance from VHDA, HUD and other State and Federal housing programs. In addition, in order to achieve this amendment within the Board s stated timeline with available resources, Staff recommends that the Covered Decks and Porches Zoning Ordinance amendment be delayed until the completion of the amendments proposed with this Action Item.
Item 7, Resolution of Intent to Amend the Zoning Ordinance and Codified Ordinances Regulations Applicable to the Loudoun County Affordable Dwelling Unit Program Board of Supervisors Business Meeting June 23, 2016 Page 2 BACKGROUND: At its May 3, 2016 Business Meeting, the Board unanimously approved a Board member initiative to direct Staff to prepare a Resolution of Intent to Amend Article 7, Administration and Regulation of Affordable Dwelling Unit Developments, of the Revised 1993 Loudoun County Zoning Ordinance (Zoning Ordinance) and Chapter 1450, Affordable Dwelling Units, of the Codified Ordinances of Loudoun County (Codified Ordinances) for the purpose of amending the current regulations applicable to the County s ADU Program to facilitate the process for providers of affordable housing in the County to obtain funding assistance from VHDA, HUD, and other State and Federal Programs. The overall objective of the amendments is to increase opportunities for providing affordable housing, which is a significant issue in the County. Based on the current Zoning Ordinance regulations in Section 7-109(A), [a] development which provides, pursuant to Federal, State or other local programs, the same number or more affordable dwelling units as the number of affordable dwelling units required under Section 7-103 (of the Zoning Ordinance), subject to terms and restrictions equivalent to the requirements of this Article (Article 7 in the Zoning Ordinance), shall satisfy the requirements of the Affordable Dwelling Unit Program (emphasis added). In addition, the current regulations in Section 7-109(C) of the Zoning Ordinance states that [t]he rents and sales prices for affordable dwelling units provided pursuant to Federal, State, or other local programs shall be in accordance with the rules and regulations governing such programs and these units shall be marketed in accordance with such rules and regulations, provided rents and sale prices shall not exceed those set pursuant to this Article (emphasis added). In essence, these Zoning Ordinance Sections have been determined to mean that if affordable housing is being developed under a State or Federal Program and the developer wishes to have the dwelling units count towards meeting the affordable dwelling units required by the Zoning Ordinance and the Codified Ordinances, then such units must meet the terms and restrictions of the adopted regulations applicable to the County s ADU Program. This Board initiative proposes to revise the current regulations governing the County s ADU Program that conflict with the requirements of the State and Federal housing programs and impact the ability of affordable housing providers from obtaining funding assistance from such programs. Among the inconsistencies identified between the County s ADU Program and the VHDA program is the disparity in the qualifying criteria of household Area Median Income (AMI). VHDA allows units to be rented to households with incomes up to 60 percent of AMI, whereas the current Loudoun County ordinance only allows households with incomes between 30 and 50 percent AMI for rental units. Likewise, the current Codified Ordinance regulations found in 1450.03 (Administration of Program) and in 1450.08 preclude financing from such entities as VHDA and HUD because they require a 60 day period for the County to cure a loan default and do not provide for the covenants that secure affordability overtime to be released upon foreclosure. These sections of Chapter 1450 say The covenant shall state that any and all financing documents shall require the lender to provide to the County or its designee written notice of any delinquency or other
Item 7, Resolution of Intent to Amend the Zoning Ordinance and Codified Ordinances Regulations Applicable to the Loudoun County Affordable Dwelling Unit Program Board of Supervisors Business Meeting June 23, 2016 Page 3 default under the mortgage. The County or its designee shall have the right for a sixty day period to cure such a default, although the County shall have no obligation to cure the default and Any and all financing documents shall provide that, in the event of default and foreclosure of projects with units subject to the requirements of this chapter that are comprised of affordable units, the lender shall give written notice to the County or its designee of the foreclosure sale at least thirty days prior (emphasis added). These required notice provisions in the Codified Ordinance preclude financing from such entities as VHDA and HUD because their rules do not allow such a process. Another area of inconsistency in Chapter 1450 is in section 1450.08 (b)(1) which states The prices for subsequent re-rentals shall be controlled for a period of twenty years. The VHDA guidelines require a 15 year compliance period and a 15 year Extended Use Agreement. A comparison chart of the differences between the programs is included in Attachment 2. This Board Action Item contains the Resolution of Intent to Amend the Zoning Ordinance in Attachment 1 and, if approved, will initiate the preparation of the draft amendments. The draft amendments to the Zoning Ordinance will be presented and discussed at a future public hearing with the Planning Commission, followed by a public hearing with the Board. This Board Action Item also contains a motion to initiate amendments to the Codified Ordinances. Amendments to the Codified Ordinances do not require the adoption of a Resolution of Intent to Amend. If approved, the amendments to the Codified Ordinances will be presented and discussed at a future Board public hearing, concurrently with the proposed Zoning Ordinance amendments. The proposed action date on the proposed amendments is November 1, 2016. ISSUES: 1. The Timeline for the Amendments. In the previous May 3, 2016 Board Action Item regarding this matter, it was stated that the subject amendments need to be before the Board for action in November 2016 in order for the amendments to apply to current affordable housing proposals applying for VHDA funding. In considering the amendments to the Zoning Ordinance and Codified Ordinances, the degree of revision may pose broader policy questions that may benefit from information and public discussion that will occur after November, 2016. For example, the results of the Housing Needs Assessment currently being developed by the George Mason University Center for Regional Analysis may provide specific information about the households that need affordable rental housing that may inform revised rental ADU income ranges. Land use discussions during the development of the Comprehensive Plan may inform the distribution of and types of affordable units desired throughout the County. 2. Impact to the Timeline of Previously Directed Zoning Ordinance Amendment: In order to meet the Board s stated November 2016 timeline with available resources, this Action Item also seeks the Board s direction for delaying one of the Zoning Ordinance Amendments that was identified in the Process for Zoning Ordinance Amendments and Priority List for
Item 7, Resolution of Intent to Amend the Zoning Ordinance and Codified Ordinances Regulations Applicable to the Loudoun County Affordable Dwelling Unit Program Board of Supervisors Business Meeting June 23, 2016 Page 4 2016 Proposed Amendments, that the Board unanimously approved at the its April 7, 2016 Business Meeting. Staff recommends that the Covered Decks and Porches amendment be delayed until the completion of the amendments proposed with this Action Item. Staff believes this amendment is the least critical of the amendments in the queue and is intended to allow covered decks and porches to encroach into the minimum required rear yard in certain zoning districts throughout the County. The impetus for the amendment comes from multiple Zoning Ordinance Modifications (ZMOD s) being requested by individual property owners. This amendment was shown as starting in the second quarter of 2016, with the proposed completion in the fourth quarter of 2016. If delayed, the amendment is proposed to begin in the fourth quarter of 2016 with the proposed completion in the second quarter of 2017 (Attachment 3). The Process for Zoning Ordinance Amendments and Priority List for 2016 Proposed Amendments includes a comprehensive review of the Affordable Dwelling Unit Advisory Board (ADUAB)-proposed revisions to Article 7 and Chapter 1450 to begin in the 3rd quarter of 2016. This proposed amendment is not intended to replace the more comprehensive review of Article 7 and Chapter 1450 as recommended by the ADUAB. FISCAL IMPACT: The preparation of proposed amendments can be accommodated with existing staff resources in the Department of Planning and Zoning and the Department of Family Services. ALTERNATIVES: 1. The Board may adopt the Resolution of Intent to Amend the Revised 1993 Loudoun County Zoning Ordinance provided as Attachment 1 to the Action Item for the Board of Supervisors June 23, 2016, Business Meeting, and initiate amendments to the Codified Ordinances of Loudoun County. 2. The Board may create and adopt an alternative Resolution of Intent to Amend. 3. The Board may choose not to adopt a Resolution of Intent to Amend the Revised 1993 Loudoun County Zoning Ordinance and initiate amendments to the Codified Ordinances of Loudoun County at this time. DRAFT MOTIONS: 1. I move that the Board of Supervisors adopt the Resolution of Intent to Amend the Revised 1993 Loudoun County Zoning Ordinance provided as Attachment 1 to the Action Item for the Board of Supervisors June 23, 2016, Business Meeting.
Item 7, Resolution of Intent to Amend the Zoning Ordinance and Codified Ordinances Regulations Applicable to the Loudoun County Affordable Dwelling Unit Program Board of Supervisors Business Meeting June 23, 2016 Page 5 AND I further move that the Board of Supervisors direct staff to prepare the amendments to Chapter 1450 of the Codified Ordinances necessary to facilitate the process for providers of affordable housing in the County to obtain funding assistance from the Virginia Housing Development Authority, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and other State and Federal Programs, as discussed in this Action Item, and when such amendments have been prepared, provide notice of a public hearing in regard to such amendments and the Board of Supervisors intention to propose such amendments for passage. AND I further move that the Board of Supervisors delay the Zoning Ordinance Amendment regarding Covered Decks and Porches to begin following the completion of the amendments initiated with the Resolution of Intent to Amend provided as Attachment 1 to the Action Item for the Board of Supervisors June 23, 2016 Business Meeting. OR 2. I move an alternate motion. ATTACHMENTS: 1.
