Item 9b. Sunflower Hill—Financing <br /> Page 2 <br /> • Change the term of the ground lease from a 75-year term to a 99-year term. The <br /> regulatory agreement would also be changed from a 75-year term to a 55-year term.2 The <br /> proposed change will make the project more competitive for tax credits. Even with this <br /> change, staff is comfortable that the ground lease includes provisions that require "that <br /> the Leased Premises shall be used solely for the operation of a multifamily rental <br /> supportive housing development in compliance with the requirements set forth herein and <br /> in the Regulatory Agreement.... [and lists specific affordability levels for the units]". <br /> (See Ground Lease Section 9.8 Affordability and Use Restrictions.) Therefore, at the end <br /> of the 55-year term of the regulatory agreement,the 99-year ground lease and the planned <br /> unit development (PUD) zoning still require operation of the project as approved and <br /> envisioned for affordable housing.3 <br /> z Amendments to the term of the ground lease and regulatory agreement would be made <br /> throughout those documents, and the other loan documents. In the proposed resolution,the City <br /> Council is asked to authorize the City Manager to execute the loan documents, "in substantially <br /> in the forms attached and subject to the final form approval of the City Attorney and City <br /> Manager." for such edits. <br /> 'In all practicality, the buildings and improvements will need rehabilitation long before the end <br /> of the 55-year regulatory agreement term, let alone the 99-year ground lease term. At that time, <br /> or earlier when tax credit partners change,the Council may be asked to consider additional <br /> rehabilitation funding and regulatory extensions. <br />
