1. Approval of Minutes ~2:05 p.m.
5 min.
The Board will approve the meeting minutes of Tuesday, August 24, 2021.
2. Motion: Meeting Remotely Without an Anchor Location ~ 2:10 p.m.
5 min.
The Board will consider a motion to ratify the Chair's determination to continue meeting remotely and without an anchor location due to the health and safety of the people who may be in attendance, and considering the continued closure of the City and County Building to the public.
3. Resolution: Richmond Flats Loan Amendment ~ 2:15 p.m.
20 min.
The Board will be briefed about, and will consider adopting, a resolution that would amend the Community Development Corporation of Utah's (CDCU) loan term sheet for the affordable housing development known as Richmond Flats, to be located at approximately 2960 South Richmond Street. The proposed amendment would authorize an amendment to the term sheet of a $1,800,000 loan at the request of CDCU. This would restructure the loan so that the RDA lien is on only the land and not on the improvements, which in turn would help the organization's tax credit application. The Board approved a previous amendment to the terms for acquisition and redevelopment of the properties in May 2020.
4. Resolution: RDA Budget Amendment No.1 for Fiscal Year 2021-22 ~ 2:35 p.m.
30 min.
The Board will receive a briefing about a resolution that would amend the final budget of the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City for Fiscal Year 2021-22. Budget amendments happen several times each year to reflect adjustments in the Redevelopment Agency's budget, including proposed project additions and modifications, and staffing changes. The amendment includes funding for retail tenant relocation assistance and City Creek daylighting along the Folsom Trail designs among other items.
5. Informational: Project Area Extensions ~ 3:05 p.m.
20 min.
The Board will be briefed about the potential extension of certain Agency project areas due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. During a 2020 special session, the State Legislature passed Senate Bill 6001, which allows a Community Reinvestment Agency to extend for up to two years the property tax increment collection period. The Board may consider a resolution to authorize the extension as well as propose the potential use of additional increment.
6. Informational: Strategic Alignment of RDA Values and Resources ~ 3:25 p.m.
20 min.
The Board will be briefed about several upcoming draft programs and policies the RDA anticipates to be ready for review within the next 12 months. This includes new and updates to existing programs and policies. The briefing is part of a longer effort to better target resources by aligning with the Board's priorities and community needs.
p
7. Informational: RDA Equitable and Inclusive Development Work Plan ~ 3:45 p.m.
20 min.
The Board will be briefed about the draft Equitable and Inclusive Development Work Plan ('Work Plan') . It's intended to be an internal guidance document to address historical inequities and discrimination in the real estate development industry by considering these factors in project prioritization and budgeting efforts. It also outlines development goals, actions items, and lists some initial ideas for new or amended RDA programming that would directly support the Work Plan.
8. Informational: Westside Community Initiative ~ 4:05 p.m.
20 min.
The Board will be briefed about the framework for a new program to use Inland Port Housing Funds to advance development activities on the City's Westside. The new program is tentatively called the Westside Community Initiative (WCI). The proposed WCI would be based on models of community land trusts and cooperative housing developments, but would be broader, facilitating the implementation of transformative mixed-income, mixed-use projects with a focus on affordable homeownership. The projects would be leveraged with additional public benefits including neighborhood services, economic opportunity, and transit-oriented development. This long-term approach to development projects would allow the WCI to balance the implementation of public benefits with the ability to generate revenue to be reinvested back into the community.
9. Informational: Update on the Spark! Project (Former Overniter Motel) at 1500 West North Temple ~ 4:25 p.m.
20 min.
The Board will receive a briefing about the Spark! project including an update on the project status, housing unit mix, and upcoming administrative and RDA Board steps. The proposed Spark! project is located at the former Overniter Motel property, 1500 West North Temple in the North Temple Project Area. The proposed project will include approximately 200 affordable and workforce housing in a variety of sizes; approximately 4,000 square feet of pedestrian-scale retail space oriented towards North Temple; a transit-oriented corner plaza; additional plaza or rooftop garden space; and a potential daycare facility.
10. Informational: North Temple Implementation Plans ~ 4:45 p.m.
20 min.
The Board will be briefed about the draft Implementation Plan for the North Temple Project Area. Implementation plans are intended to identify specific objectives over the next five years that incorporate and balance the goals of the City, the RDA, and the community. The plans will guide the development of the RDA's annual funding requests that are brought to the RDA Board each fiscal year.
