Resolution to Annually Update Formula Calculation for a Per-Unit Contribution Amount for Affordable Housing Contributions for Planned Unit Development Districts
Whereas, It is the intent of the City Council to promote a full range of housing choices as a part of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) district regulations;
Whereas, Section 5:80 of Chapter 55 of the Ann Arbor City Code allows for additional density in a PUD development if affordable housing for lower income households is provided;
Whereas, Individual site and economic factors may make the development of on-site affordable housing for lower income households less desirable than providing affordable housing through other means, such as monetary contributions;
Whereas, The purpose of the PUD affordable housing contribution is to establish a per-unit amount that would be accepted by City Council in lieu of providing housing units within a PUD;
Whereas, The affordable housing contribution is a per-unit payment that serves to offset the difference between the cost to purchase a moderately priced housing unit that is available on the market and the sales price that is affordable to a lower income household; and
Whereas, This formula will be prorated for projects of 9 units or less to counteract the high per-unit burden for smaller developments;
RESOLVED, That a petitioner for a PUD Zoning District that proposes to provide affordable housing in accordance with the requirements of Section 5:80(2) and 5:80(6)(e) of Chapter 55 of Ann Arbor City Code may request that the City accept an affordable housing contribution in lieu of the required affordable units;
RESOLVED, That City Council may approve a request for an affordable housing contribution in lieu of the required PUD units at its sole discretion;
RESOLVED, That City Council will use the following formula to determine the per-unit affordable housing contribution for each fiscal year for PUD Zoning Districts where there are 10 or more units:
1) A moderately priced housing unit will be determined by calculating the 20th percentile of all residential property sales (excluding vacant land and commercial property) in the City of Ann Arbor from February, March and April of the previous fiscal year, using public information provided by the City of Ann Arbor Assessor.
2) A sales price that is affordable to a lower income household will be determined by multiplying two (2) times the income of a family of four at 80% Area Median Income (AMI), as published by HUD.
3) The difference between the moderately priced housing unit and a housing unit affordable to a lower income household shall determine the affordable housing contribution for each affordable housing unit that is required in the PUD;
RESOLVED, That for FY 2005-2006 the affordable housing contribution for each unit required in the PUD is $61,300.00;
RESOLVED, That for PUD Zoning Districts with 1-9 total dwelling units, the affordable housing contribution shall be pro-rated by multiplying the amount of the affordable housing contribution for one dwelling unit by the following:
9 units 0.9 of the per-unit amount $55,170.00;
8 units 0.8 of the per-unit amount $49,040.00;
7 units 0.7 of the per-unit amount $42,910.00;
6 units 0.6 of the per-unit amount $36,780.00;
5 units 0.5 of the per-unit amount $30,650.00;
4 units 0.4 of the per-unit amount $24,520.00;
3 units 0.3 of the per-unit amount $18,390.00;
2 units 0.2 of the per-unit amount $12,260.00;
1 unit 0.1 of the per-unit amount $ 6,130.00;
RESOLVED, That PUD affordable housing contributions received by the City shall be deposited in the Affordable Housing Trust fund, to be used to develop affordable housing units in the City;
RESOLVED, That City Council will review information provided by the Community Development Unit on an annual basis and may adjust the formula at the start of the fiscal year if necessary; and
RESOLVED, That affordable units and/or affordable housing contributions required as part of a PUD Zoning District approval shall be secured through contractual arrangements, restrictive covenants, resale and rental restrictions or other available legal remedies, as determined to be necessary by the City Attorney.
Councilmember Carlberg moved, seconded by Councilmember Teall that the resolution be adopted.
Councilmember Greden moved, seconded by Councilmember Carlberg to postpone the resolution until November 21, 2005.

Resolution Opposing Ensign/Mccain Broadband Investment
and Consumer Choice Act
Whereas, Senators John Ensign and John McCain have introduced S. 1504, the Ensign/McCain Broadband Investment and Consumer Choice Act;
Whereas, The Proposed legislation would abolish cable franchising, which ensures that the services cable companies provide meet our local needs, provide needed protections for us and the public, and allow these provisions to be changed over time as needs change and technology evolves;
Whereas, The proposed legislation would, unlike any other utility service, abolish requirements that cable service be provided wherever in a community there is sufficient population density to make service economic;
Whereas, The proposed legislation would relatedly, allow cable companies to "redline" and deny service on the basis of race, sex, senior citizen status;
Whereas, The proposed legislation would reduce (perhaps substantially) the cable franchise fees providers pay to use public property;
Whereas, The proposed legislation appears to grant video providers the right to use public rights of way in perpetuity, without even the protections that the courts impose when the government condemns property;
Whereas, The proposed legislation does not adequately preserve local ability to manage the streets, such as requiring providers to relocate lines at their expense when streets are straightened or widened;
Whereas, The proposed legislation does not have meaningful provisions on channels for public, educational or governmental use, and lacks provisions in current law requiring the provider to provide funds to support these channels;
Whereas, The proposed legislation does not have provisions to protect us or the public if the provider causes damage or goes bankrupt;
Whereas, The proposed legislation appears to abolish all zoning of cellular towers, so towers can be put anywhere in a community, without regard to whether they are needed or their effect on property values; and
Whereas, The proposed legislation appears to abolish telephone franchises and fees, even though these companies have and should continue to pay "rent" to use the streets, which are public property maintained at great expense, for their lines;
RESOLVED, That the Ann Arbor City Council opposes this proposed legislation because of the negative affects on local municipalities and Ann Arbor specifically; and
RESOLVED, That the Mayor send the letter on file in the City Clerk's Office to State Senators Levin and Stabenow opposing this proposed legislation.
Councilmember Higgins moved, seconded by Councilmember Easthope that the resolution be adopted.
