AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
City Council is asked to consider three resolutions related to low-income housing tax exemptions. Each
resolution grants a twenty-year property tax exemption for a particular very-low-income housing
project.
BACKGROUND
Council Action History
The council has a history of supporting low-income housing tax exemptions and has approved virtually
every request to date from either non-profit or for-profit developers.
Policy Issues
Since 1987, one of the City Council's annual goals has related to increasing the availability of low-
income housing. A recent City Council goal of"Sustainable Community Development" refers to
retaining a high quality of life. A prerequisite is affordable housing. For low-income households, this
often requires subsidies. Support for low-income housing also is found in the City's Growth
Management Goals and the adopted Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Consolidated Plan. This
support recognizes the relationship between housing affordability and the community's economic
vitality and social well-being.
A key element in creating affordable housing is an exemption from property taxes. The twenty-year
low-income housing tax exemption is available, in part, due to the City of Eugene's lobbying effort at
L:\CMO\2004 Council Agendas\M040809\S0408094.doc
the State Legislature. A property tax exemption plays a very significant role in reducing rents. In the
past, the City has documented the monthly savings as a result of the exemption ranging from $89.00 per
month to $178.00 per month at different developments. This makes a significant difference in the
budget for a low-income household.
Financial and/or Resource Considerations
The City and other local taxing districts forgo revenue when property is exempted from taxes. Each of
these projects represents new construction on previously undeveloped property. Therefore, the
immediate loss of revenue is minimal.
Other Background Information
The following is a summary of the three projects requesting assistance:
A. Apple Orchard Village
40 units, primarily for families with children
2640-2694 Edgewood Drive
Metropolitan Affordable Housing Corporation
B. Santa Clara Plaza
60 units, primarily for families with children
150 Santa Clara Avenue
St. Vincent dePaul
C. Willamette Gardens Apartments
240 units for households of various sizes
433 West 8th Avenue
Public Private Partnerships (P3)
Since 1992, the City has approved twelve low-income housing tax exemptions. Two are for-profit
developments and ten are non-profit developments. These include:
· Mary Skinner Apartments, 41 units (St. Vincent dePaul)
· Hope Loop, 10 units (St. Vincent dePaul)
· Mac McDonald 24 units (St. Vincent dePaul)
· Woodleaf, 60 units (Metropolitan Affordable Housing)
· 1080 ClarkStreet, 40 units (DennisMeili)
· 2256-2264 Roosevelt, 24 units (Charles Shepard)
· South Hilyard Terrace, 22 units (St. Vincent dePau0
· OakwoodManor, 72 units (St. Vincent dePau0
· Greenleaf Village, 34 units (Metropolitan Affordable Housing)
· Oakleaf Village, 14 units (Metropolitan Affordable Housing)
· Aurora Building, 54 units (St. Vincent DePau0
· Mainstream Apartments, 10 units (Mainstream Housing)
Projects developed by the Lane County Housing Authority and Community Services Agency (HACSA)
receive an automatic tax exemption under a different State statute. This tax exemption levels the
playing field between the non-profit and public sector housing providers. To date, City Council has
granted all applications for exemptions.
L:\CMO\2004 Council Agendas\M040809\S0408094.doc
Timing
The tax exemption will apply to the tax year that begins on July 1, 2005. The council is asked to
approve these now in order to meet tax assessor guidelines.
OPTIONS
The council may approve or deny any of the tax exemption requests. Based on Housing Policy Board
recommendations, staff recommends approval of the resolutions in Attachment A, B, and C. Should the
council wish to approve the exemption for P3's project, Attachment D is a resolution for approval.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Housing Policy Board reviewed each of these proposals and supports two of them (Metro and St.
Vincent DePaul). The proposal submitted by P3 was not supported because it both violates the Housing
Dispersal Policy and has rents that are nearly market rate. The rationale is included in Attachment E.
Staff supports the Housing Policy Board recommendations and this is reflected in the Planning and
Development Director's report.

E. The City of Eugene's Housing Dispersal Policy, which was adopted by Council
Resolution 4477 on January 4, 1996, is aspirational, rather than prescriptive, and discourages subsidized
housing developments of more than 60 units. However, the City Council may balance the policy against
other City concerns and policies, such as the need for additional low-income rental housing units.
F. In reviewing the Director's findings, the Report and Recommendation, and the Housing
Dispersal Policy, the City Council finds that the need for additional low-income rental housing units

ATTACHMENT F
MEMO
To: Eugene City Council
From: John VanLandingham, chair, Housing Policy Board
Date: July 12, 2004
Subject: Housing Policy Board Position Regarding Property Tax Exemption for P3
The Housing Policy Board voted unanimously on June 28, 2004, not to recommend that the City
Council grant a property tax exemption to P3 for its proposed 240 rental unit development in the
Chase Gardens area. Here are my reasons for my vote.
1. It is my belief, as someone who has worked with the City of Eugene Housing Dispersal
Policy for 25 years, that P3's project would violate Dispersal Policy 2, the 60-unit maximum size
limit.
2. I do not agree with P3's argument that it is exempt from the Dispersal Policy because its
income limitation (as required by the federal tax credits that P3 seeks) is 60 percent of median
income, as opposed to the Dispersal Policy's income limitation of 50 percent. As staff noted in
its memo, among those 240 units some of them are likely to have residents whose incomes are at
or below 50 percent of median income.
3. The Dispersal Policy is written to allow the Council to balance the policy's limitations with
"other City concerns and policies." On one previous occasion, the HPB recommended to the
Council that it not apply the 60-unit cap to an HPB-supported project on Green Lane in Santa
Clara. In that case, the project was targeted to serve families at incomes significantly below 50
percent of median income, and the project was only slightly more than the 60-unit cap. In the
HPB's view, both factors warranted an exception from the Dispersal Policy's 60-unit cap.
Neither is true with P3's project.
4. The income issue - that P3's project will serve a higher income bracket than do HPB-
supported projects - is significant. We currently enjoy the support of private landlords in our
affordable housing efforts; one is a long-time member of the HPB. But we have that support
because private landlords understand that HPB projects target a population whose incomes are
below that of the population that most private landlords serve - in other words, HPB projects are
not competing with existing units owned by the private sector. Given P3's higher rents, that
cannot be said for its project. And given the current relatively high - for Eugene - vacancy rate
for rental units, publicly subsidizing the competition will create bad feeling among private
landlords.
L:\CMO\2004 Council Agendas\M040809\S0408094.doc
NOTE: There are four different median income limits involved here:
a. The federal low income tax credit program has an income limit of 60 percent of
median income. Apparently P3 hopes to obtain an allocation of these credits, which are awarded
by the State in a very competitive process. Other HPB-supported projects are likely to be in that
competition.
b. The low income housing property tax exemption, which P3 is seeking from the City,
also has a 60 percent of median income limit for eligibility. This figure derives from State law.
ORS 307.515, .517
c. The City's Dispersal Policy uses a figure of 50 percent of median income, to define
low-income families.
d. The Housing Policy Board supports projects whose rents are affordable to families at
incomes significantly below 50 percent of median income, generally below 40 percent.

Re: property tax exemptions for affordable housing
The property tax abatement for affordable housing granted by the City of Eugene is a critical
component in the development of our housing projects. The tax abetment helps us make housing
projects pencil out initially and contributes to the overall affordability of the project. The tax
exemption allow projects to move forward that would otherwise not be financially feasible and
helps ensure that rental rates remain low enough to serve members of the community at the
lower end of the earning spectrum who are desperately in need of housing.
Property tax assessment is nuanced and complex, but simple calculations indicate that property
tax abatement saves St. Vincent de Paul $92,867.00 per year in property taxes on our 60 unit
affordable housing development, Santa Clara Village and directly results in more affordable rents
for our tenants.
The savings calculations are based on hard construction costs and assessed value of the land and
millage rates provided by the county assessors office. Millage rates and assessed values are
subject to change. In addition, new bond measures can increase the property tax assessed and the
retirement of existing bonds can cause an decrease in tax assessed.
The abatement of property taxes directly benefits those in our communities who are most in need
of help and aid in the provision of desperately needed housing. This housing is often the critical
factor in allowing people to move towards a better life, rather than continuing to spiral
downward into homelessness.

Our Letter Dated:
September 25, 1992
Addendum Applies:
No
Dear Applicant:
This modifies our letter of the above date in which we stated that you
would be treated as an organization that is not a private foundation until the
expiration of your advance ruling period.
Your exempt status under section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code as an
organization described in section 501(c) (3) is still in effect. Based on the
information you submitted, we have determined that you are not a private
foundation within the meaning of section 509(a) of the Code because you are an
organization of the type described in section 509(a) (1) and 170(b) (1) (A) (vi).
Grantors and contributors may rely on this determination unless the
Internal Revenue Service publishes notice to the contrary. However, if you
lose your section 509(a) (1) status, a grantor or contributor may not rely on
this determination if he or she was in part responsible for, or was aware of,
the act or failure to act, or the substantial or material change on the part of
the organization that resulted in your loss of such status, or if he or she
acquired knowledge that the Internal Revenue Service had given notice that you
would no longer be classified as a section S09(a) (1) organization.
As of January 1, 1984, you are liable for taxes under the Federal
Insurance Contributions Act (social security taxes) on remuneration of $100
or more you pay to each of your employees during a calendar year. You are
not liable for the tax imposed under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA).
You are required to file Form 990 only if your gross receipts each year
are normally more than $25,000. For guidance in determining whether your gross
receipts are "normally" more than $25,000, see the instructions for Form 990.
If a return is required, it must be filed by the 15th day of the fifth month
after the end of your annual accounting period. A penalty of $10 a day is
charged when a return is filed late, unless there is reasonable cause for the
delay. However, the maximum penalty charged cannot exceed $5,000 or 5 percent
of your gross receipts for the year, whichewer is less. This penalty may also
be charged if a return is not complete, so please be sure your return is
complete before you file it.
If we have indicated in the heading of this letter that an addendum
applies, the addendum enclosed is an integral part of this letter.

Schedule 6
Property taxes are an operational expense to any income property. Excluding
property taxes, the operational expenses for an affordable housing property are
actually somewhat higher than for a market-rate property. In effect, it is the
Property Tax Exemption that allows affordable housing to offer rents that are
significantly below market rates. (See the attached Operating Budget from the
State of Oregon Apple Orchard CFC Application.)
The Operating Budget shows a Net Annual Income of $179,539 for year one.
Annual expense and debt service payments total $176,924. This leaves a Net
Cash Flow per year of $2,615. This assumes 31%, 41% and 51% rents ranging
from $226 per month to $505 per month.
If property tax payments of $73,635 were added to the Annual Operating
Expense Budget, without increasing rents, the result would be a negative Annual
Cash Flow of $71,020. In order to have a financially viable project, rents would
have to be raised, on average, by $153 per unit per month to cover the property
tax obligation. This would effectively make Apple Orchard a market-rate
apartment project.
The 20 year Net Present Value calculation of the property tax exemption
(provided in the application) shows the total value of the exemption at
$1,125,285. If one were to perform a like calculation on the value of the
additional rents that would be charged over 20 years without the exemption, the
benefit of the exemption to Apple Orchard residents is clearly in excess of
property tax exemption offered. VVhen likely market factors over the next 20
years are added into the equation, it is likely that Apple Orchard rents would have
to rise to a level higher than market-rate.
The required rents do reflect the full value of the Property Tax Exemption.

METRO APPLE ORCHARD APARTMENTS
LAND GRANT AGREEMENT
BETWEEN: The City of Eugene, a unit of
local government of the state of Oregon (City)
AND: Metropolitan Affordable Housing Corporation, Inc.
a nonprofit corporation in the State of Oregon (Metro)
AND: Neighborhood Economic Development Corporation
a nonprofit corporation in the State of Oregon (NEDCO)
CONTRACT NO.: 2004-02097
RECITALS
A. In response to a Request for Proposals for Low-Income Rental Housing Projects (RFP), Metro
submitted a proposal to the City for acquisition and construction of the Apple Orchard 40-unit
rental housing complex for Iow- and very-low income families and single individuals (Project).
The Metro proposal included a companion proposal from NEDCO. The NEDCO proposal
request involved partitioning off two of the existing houses on the Apple Orchard property from
the main development site, rehabilitating those houses and offering them as lease-to-own
homeownership single family units for Iow-income families. City contract #2004-02072
between the City, Metro and NEDCO defines the participation and responsibilities of the
parties in the development project.
B. Metro held the option with the seller and purchased the Apple Orchard property (Property),
2.51 acres of primarily vacant property, located along Lone Oak Way and Edgewood Drive
in Santa Clara, more particularly described in Exhibit B for $250,000. City provided $235,000
in federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds toward the $250,000 purchase
price of the Property. NEDCO provided the remaining $15,000. The site included four
existing houses, 175, 185, 200, and 220 Edgewood Drive, Eugene, Oregon. Following
closing, Metro subsequently transferred ownership of the Property to City.
C. City is the current owner of the Apple Orchard Property. The demolition of two existing
housing units,175 and 185 Edgewood Drive, has been completed. The two remaining houses
200 and 220 Edgewood Drive are vacant and former tenants have received appropriate
relocation benefits. City was to transfer ownership of the Metro portion of this housing
development site when Metro was ready to start construction and the partition process was
complete. The NEDCO lots were to be transferred following completion of the partition
process.
D. Due to an early award of State tax credit funding for their Apple Orchard Apartments housing
development project, Metro is required to start construction immediately on the development
of the affordable housing project at the Apple Orchard site to be in compliance with tax credit
regulations. Metro can begin construction on the site following transfer of ownership of the
Property from City back to Metro. City desires that the Property be used for the Project and
Metro Apple Orchard Apartments Land Grant Agreement - 1
is willing to grant the Property to Metro on the condition that the Property be so utilized as
more specifically set forth in this agreement.
E. The partition process to separate the main Apple Orchard development area from the two
single family lots, 200 and 220 Edgewood Drive, on the development site cannot be
completed until access to those lots (construction of adjacent roads), is available. NEDCO's
future redevelopment of these housing units is dependent on the transfer of ownership of the
two single family lots to NEDCO.
F. It is contemplated that Metro will transfer the Property to an Oregon limited partnership
created for the Apple Orchard development, in which Metro will be the general partner: The
limited partnership will be the entity that will actually construct, operate and maintain the
Project and this agreement contemplates a conveyance of the Property to the limited
partnership for that purpose.
AGREEMENT
In consideration of the terms and conditions hereinafter stated City, Metro and NEDCO do mutually
agree on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the following exhibits:
Exhibit - A Standard Contract Provisions
Exhibit - B Property Description
Exhibit - C Community Development Block Grant Regulations
and Requirements
Exhibit - D Memorandum of Agreement
1. Grant of Property. City agrees to grant the Property purchased with CDBG funds to Metro
on the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement.
2. Date of Transfer. Transfer of the title of the Property shall be accomplished by statutory
special warranty deed, free of encumbrances suffered or created by City except matters of
record. The Property shall be transferred no later than May 31, 2004. Metro shall transfer
to NEDCO title to the two single family lots, 200 and 220 Edgewood Drive, as soon as is
practicable following the completion of the partition process to separate the main Apple
Orchard development area from the two single family lots.
3. Consideration. Metro shall pay City a consideration for this sale of one dollar ($1.00) for
Property.
4. Metro Covenants. Metro agrees that the Property will be used for construction and
maintenance of the Metro Project in accordance with the following:
4.1 As developer of their portion of the Property, Metro agrees to begin work immediately
following ownership transfer. Metro agrees to furnish all labor and materials to construct
forty (40) new rental housing units in the Apple Orchard Iow-income rental housing
complex. Metro shall develop their portion of the Property into 24 two-bedroom units,
eight one-bedroom units, and eight studios. Low-income units will be available for
occupancy to households qualified as 30-50% of area median income. Initial rents
Metro Apple Orchard Apartments Land Grant Agreement - 2
including utilities will be consistent with current Low HOME Rent Limits. The units will
remain affordable for twenty (20) years from the completion of construction. One of the
40 units will be reserved for an on-site manager. The manager unit will be exempt from
the affordability requirements.
4.2 Construction of the forty (40) new units of housing, shall be completed within twenty four
(24) months of the execution of this agreement. Construction completion date may be
extended by a period equal to any delay in construction reasonably beyond the control of
Metro or Metro's assignee. In addition, City may, at its sole option, grant an extension of
the date for completion and City agrees to grant a reasonable extension upon demonstra-
tion to City's satisfaction (a) of the need for an extension and (b) that Metro or its assignee
has been and will continue to be diligent in its efforts to complete the Project.
4.3 For a period of twenty (20) years from completion of construction of the Metro Project, at
least 51 percent of all households renting units in the Project will be very Iow or lower
income families, as determined in accordance with CDBG regulations described on
attached Exhibit C. Compliance with this requirement shall be determined on an annual
certification basis, i.e. during each year following completion of the Project, at least 51
percent or all households renting units must meet the very Iow and lower income family
guidelines.
4.4 As used herein, the term completion means the date when construction, has been
completed in accordance with the construction contract for the work and the plans and
specifications as evidenced by a certificate prepared and executed by the Metro Project
architect indicating that construction of the Project has been completed in accordance with
the construction plans and specifications, except for punch list items which are not
material and do not affect the rental of space in the Project on a full rent paying basis.
5. N£DCO Covenants. NEDCO agrees that their two lots will be used as Iow-income housing
in accordance with the,following:
5.1 NEDCO agrees to cooperate and provide assistance to Metro in all aspects required by
Metro in the partition process of the two single family unit lots for the existing units, 200
Edgewood Drive and 220 Edgewood Drive.
5.2 In the event that Metro is unable to proceed with any aspect of the Project in a timely
manner and no improvements are made to the Property, including the infrastructure
required to complete the partition process, and Metro is unable to transfer ownership of
the two single family lots to NEDCO, then the ownership of the Property shall revert back
to City. City shall repay NEDCO fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000), NEDCO's initial
investment in the purchase of the property. City shall have no further obligation to
NEDCO regarding their participation in the Apple Orchard development. Repayment shall
be made within 45 days following the determination of Metro's inability to complete the
partition process.
5.3 Following transfer of ownership of the two single family lots, 200 and 220 Edgewood
Drive, NEDCO will complete the rehabilitation of the two existing houses on the Apple
Orchard development site. Rehabilitation of both units shall be completed within eighteen
(18) months of the transfer of ownership. After rehabilitation, units will either be sold
Metro Apple Orchard Apartments Land Grant Agreement - 3
outright to qualified Iow income families or leased though NEDCO's lease-to-own
homeownership program. Units will be kept in NEDCO's lease-to-own housing inventory
and leased to income eligible tenants until the unit is sold to a qualified lease-to-own
tenant. Tenant and homebuyer eligibility is based on the current CDBG household
income levels.
6. Metro Reversion of Ownership and Obligation to Pay Upon Breach of Covenant, In the
event Metro fails to complete the Project within the time specified in Paragraph 4.2, or in the
event Metro fails to comply with the provisions of Paragraph 4.3, Metro shall either be required
to return the property to City or required to pay to City an amount equal to the fair market value
(FMV) of the Property, determined and adjusted as follows:
6.1 In the event that Metro is unable to proceed with any aspect of the Project in a timely
manner and no improvements are made to the Property and Metro has not transferred
ownership of the two single family lots to NEDCO, and City and Metro determine that
reasonable extension(s) for commencement will not remedy the situation, then the
ownership of the Property shall revert back to City. Metro shall transfer the title of the
Property by statutory special warranty deed, free of encumbrances suffered or created by
Metro. City shall repay to Metro one dollar ($1.00). The Property shall be transferred
within 45 days of the determination of Metro's inability to proceed.
6.2 In the event that Metro is unable to proceed with any aspect of the Project in a timely
manner and no improvements are made to the Property and Metro has transferred
ownership of the two single family lots to NEDCO, and City and Metro determine that
reasonable extension(s) for commencement will not remedy the situation, then the
ownership of the Property, less the two partitioned NEDCO single family lots, shall revert
back to City. Metro shall transfer the title of the Property by statutory special warranty
deed, free of encumbrances suffered or created by Metro. City shall repay to Metro one
dollar ($1.00). The Property shall be transferred within 45 days of the determination of
Metro's inability to, proceed.
6.3 The FMV shall be determined as of the date of the notice under Paragraph 6.5 and shall
be the FMV of the land only, without regard to any improvements thereon, based on
information from an appraisal conducted as of the date of notice. The appraisal shall be
performed by a certified appraiser selected by City and Metro.
6.4 If the obligation to purchase arises because of a failure to comply with Paragraph 4.3, the
purchase price determined under Paragraph 6.3 shall be adjusted based on the number
of years that the Property qualified, pursuant to Paragraph 4.3, prior to the year in which
the Property ceased to qualify. For example, if under Paragraph 4.3 the Property qualified
for five consecutive years and ceased to qualify during the sixth year, the purchase price
determined under Paragraph 6.3 would be reduced by 25 percent.
6.5 Any Property transfer or applicable payment shall be completed by Metro within 45 days
after notice from City of a breach of either of the covenants in Paragraph 4.
7. NEDCO Reversion of Ownership and Obligation to Pay Upon Breach of Covenant. In
the event that ownership of the two single family lots is transferred to NEDCO and NEDCO
fails to comply with the provisions of Paragraph 5.3, NEDCO shall either be required to return
Metro Apple Orchard Apartments Land Grant Agreement - 4
the property to City or required to pay to City an amount equal to the FMV of the Property,
determined and adjusted as follows:
7.1 In the event that NEDCO is unable to proceed with any aspect of the rehabilitation in a
timely manner and no improvements are made to either one or both of the two existing
single family units, and City and NEDCO determine that reasonable extension(s) for
commencement of the rehabilitation will not remedy the situation, then the ownership of
the lot(s) shall revert back to City. NEDCO shall transfer the title to the individual lot(s)
by statutory special warranty deed, free of encumbrances suffered or created by NEDCO
except matters of record.
7.2 Based on the initial City investment of twenty five thousand dollars ($25,000) in federal
CDBG grant toward the purchase of the Property, each single family lot received a CDBG
contribution of twelve thousand five hundred dollars ($12,500). Based on NEDCO's initial
contribution of fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000), each single family lot received a
NEDCO contribution of seven thousand five hundred dollars ($7,500). Should either of
the single family lots revert back to City, pursuant to Paragraph 7.1, City shall repay to
NEDCO seven thousand five hundred dollars ($7,500) per lot. The individual lot(s) shall
be transferred within 45 days of the determination of NEDCO's inability to complete the
rehabilitation of the unit(s).
7.3 The fair market value (FMV) shall be determined as of the date of the notice under
Paragraph 7.5 and shall be the FMV of the land and any improvements thereon, based
on information from an appraisal conducted as of the date of notice. The appraisal shall
be performed by a certified appraiser selected by City and NEDCO.
7.4 If the obligation to purchase either of the lots arises because of NEDCO's failure to
comply with Paragraph 5.3, the purchase price determined under Paragraph 7.3 for each
lot shall be the current FMV, as determined by a qualified appraiser selected by NEDCO
and City, reduced by NEDCO's financial contributions, including the seven thousand five
hundred dollars ($7,500) per lot attributable to NEDCO's contribution toward the original
acquisition of the property and the amount of NEDCO funds invested in rehabilitation and
any other improvements to the subject property as of the date of the notice.
7.5 Any Property transfer or applicable payment shall be completed by Metro within 45 days
after notice from City of a breach of either of the covenants in Paragraph 4.
8. Recording of Memorandum of Agreement/Subordination. The parties agree that a
memorandum of this agreement shall be recorded in the Deed of Records of Lane County,
Oregon describing the covenants set forth in Paragraphs 4 and 5 and providing that such
obligations will run with the land and be binding upon Metro and NEDCO's successors and
assigns, with the following exceptions:

Re: Willamette Gardens Apartments
Property Tax Exemption Application
Dear Mr. Weinman,
On behalf of P3 I am pleased to submit the attached application of Property Tax
Exemption Program for Low-Income Rental Housing for the proposed Willamette
Gardens Apartments.
The proposed Apartments' site is located north of Marche Chase development,
which is filled with charming houses and affluent residents. Willamette Gardens will
also be located within walking distance of Alton Baker Park, a 400-acre park with bike
trails, wetlands, rock garden, community garden, Cuthbert Amphitheater, science
museum, planetarium, and more. The residents of Willamette Gardens will enjoy easy
access to downtown with excellent bus service, bike trails, and street system. In this area,
the bus service to downtown is frequent and fast. Schools that will serve the property
have earned strong to exceptional ratings on the state's 2003 report card. This makes the
neighborhood even more desirable to concerned parents and will promote education to
low income families and help raise the education achievement of the resident's children.
Willamette Gardens will consist of 240 units housed in 10 buildings and a 2,500
square feet Community Room for the management and residents use. The proposed
apartments will have a diverse mix of unit sizes ranging between one and three bedrooms
targeting low income families that earn 60% or below of the Area Median Income (AMI.)
In 2003 HUD removed Lane County from the Difficult to Develop Area (DDA)
list and as a result, the City of Eugene lost a valuable source of funds that was targeted to
build low income rental housing. Fortunately Willamette Gardens' site is located within
one of the few Qualified Census Tracts (QCT) in Lane County. This QCT designation
will bring an additional 30% of tax credit funds to help build such project which is not
available to other apartment sites in the City.
P3 is striving to build this project with the best design and the best materials
available. In addition to that P3 intends to keep this project affordable for a long time,
4800 SW MACADAM AVENUE, SUITE 309 · PORTLAND, ORECON 97239-3927 · TEL: 503.219.9500 FAX: 503.219.9700
45 - 60 years. In order to achieve these goals and keep the rents affordable, P3 hereby
kindly request the City of Eugene to approve a property tax exemption for Willamette
Gardens.
We, here at P3, and Willamette Gardens' team are looking forward to working
with you in a partnership that will create a safe, sanitary, and pleasant community where
low income families can live and flourish.
Should you have any questions please call me at (503) 219-9512.

Node area is located in a suitable block group for developing Iow income housing.
The proposed unit mix consists of 60 one-bedroom, 84 two-bedroom, and
96 three-bedroom apartments for a total of 240 units. The site is zoned R4, which
requires at least 20 units per acre; therefore, the development must contain a
minimum of 196 units. Proposed zoning for the Chase Node would require 25
units per acre; if implemented, Eugene's planning department would require at
/east 245 units on this 9.8 acre site. 240 units is the appropriate size for the
acreage, high land cost, zoning, and Eugene's housing need.
6. Yes [] No Will the development cause displacement of Iow-income persons? If
yes, please explain mitigating factors that should be considered by the City.
The site of the proposed development is currently open land.

funded grants and a Iow-interest loan through OHCS, P3 will able to offer a
high quality development with affordable rents to benefit Iow income families
over a 60 year period.
12. [] Yes No The property is unoccupied, and the attached Schedule 7
