Arts and Non-Profits Grants Review Direction Page 1 of 4 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Chris Everson, Affordable Housing Project Manager THRU: Barry Crook, Assistant City Manager DATE OF MEMO: August 28, 2015 MEETING DATE: September 1, 2015 RE: Planning future affordable housing development REQUEST OF COUNCIL: Staff seeks Council direction on planning future affordable housing development. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: On January 6, 2015, Council directed staff to seek community input on future affordable housing development alternatives, with narrowed choices of what to develop and where. Choices should include primarily long-term rental and secondarily seasonal rental at City-owned properties located at 517 Park Circle, 802 West Main Street and 488 Castle Creek Drive. Council indicated that the lumber yard property was to be considered “off the table” for the short term. Vetting realistic density at each site should be addressed. User considerations should include local workforce, aging population, Aspen-native youth returning from college, and dogs. Staff should seek partnerships with local employers. Staff should return to Council with results of outreach effort. BACKGROUND: In a joint City-County housing work session in 2012, staff submitted a Strategic Review of Housing study that considered the effects of job growth, neighborhood gentrification and retirement. The study concluded that 657 new affordable workforce housing units are needed within the urban growth boundary from 2012 to 2022. At the time, workforce housing was tasked to the City and senior housing efforts were assigned to Pitkin County. Since 2012, approximately 100 affordable for-sale units have been created and occupied. DISCUSSION: Staff organized community outreach events which were held June 11, July 8, August 6 and August 27, 2015. Staff recorded over 900 comments from about 125 unique participants. All comments received are included in the attached “Exhibit A” document. What to develop and where? More than any other comments received, there seems to be a community-wide sense that there is currently a significant need for affordable rental housing in Aspen for active workforce and for retirees. Consensus appears to be around long-term, mainly one- and two- bedroom, rentals as well as a secondary need for more seasonal rental units, sometimes referencing the 4-bedroom style units found at Club Commons in Snowmass. Although less in overall intensity, there also seems to be an ever-present voice in the community that more affordable for-sale housing is needed as well, particularly for growing families. The community seems to generally support that the City should develop property which it owns at 802 West Main Street, 517 Park Circle and 488 Castle Creek Drive for the purpose of fulfilling affordable housing needs. Staff displayed three development utilization scenarios for each property which were entitled “Higher”, “Lower” and “Mid” utilization scenarios. Comments received often support the “Higher Utilization” and “Mid Utilization” scenarios at each site, although there were notably comments suggesting lower utilization levels at the 802 West Main Street and 517 Park Circle properties. Thus staff expects that there will be some neighborhood pushback at those sites, particularly from the property owners immediately adjacent to 517 Park Circle. P1 I. Page 2 of 4 User considerations: Accommodation for ‘workforce only’ received more support than anything else in terms of users, but there is also an increasing voice in the community pointing to a need for more senior housing for Aspen’s aging population. Development of ‘senior friendly’ units could be accommodated to perhaps facilitate downsizing by retirees. Most comments received related to Aspen-native youth returning from college or other work elsewhere suggested that these users should utilize the APCHA program in the same manner as workforce, although there were no display materials which prompted commenters to consider whether the work history requirement should be shortened or waived for those users. Always a passionate topic, there seems to be significant support for allowing dogs in affordable housing, albeit tempered with a general desire for enforcement measures such as damage/cleanup deposits, leashes, waste disposal enforcement and other impact mitigation means where possible. Many of those who participated also seem to want employers with more than a handful of employees to help pay the cost of housing workforce. The few employers who commented seemed to express a willingness to participate, but cannot afford to participate at the 100% unsubsidized level and request that alternatives be considered. Other recurring themes:  Growing need for senior housing  Incentivizing downsizing and maintenance of existing facilities  Need to focus on maintaining existing affordable housing facilities, particularly Centennial  Focus on enforcement of qualifications as well as improvements to qualifications criteria  Increase support for HOAs including capital reserves, HOA accountability, maintenance  Some support for redevelopment of the Truscott 100 building, which needs improvement  Centralization of rental pool availability/application to support those who need rentals Themes from the comments received at the June 11 and July 8 sessions are shown below: P2 I. Page 3 of 4 FINANCIAL/BUDGET IMPACTS: A rough order of magnitude budget estimate for future work to create the affordable housing contemplated in this memo may be near $18 million. (For those interested in the total cost to develop affordable housing, this rough order of magnitude budget estimate does not include previously sunk costs such as land.) More detailed cost estimating should be performed when these projects become better defined, and additional work is needed to determine how much of this effort staff would recommend that the City take on at once, and staff should also pursue evaluation of alternative funding sources such as tax credits, loans and grants. That said, the City’s 150 Housing Development Fund does appear to have the capacity to fund all development contemplated in this memo within the next few years as well as being able to carry future funding allocation for capital reserve policy efforts and/or potential acquisition of some new land (dependent on the total costs of those additional efforts). RECOMMENDED ACTION: The quantity of new housing development contemplated in this memo plus additional expansion tentatively planned for Burlingame Ranch in 2020-2021 would still leave the estimated need of 657 units by 2022 - as concluded in the 2012 study - less than 40% fulfilled. Noting that adjustments may be made when staff returns to Council with additional information, staff suggests that Council focus on the following questions: (1) Does Council wish to initiate an effort to develop affordable housing to fulfill the need described? Staff could return with information about a process such as: (1a) Staff to further define development criteria for Council review, and then (1b) seek development and operational partnerships via RFP(s), and then (1c) compare top partnership proposals to option of City as developer/APCHA as operator. (2) Does Council wish to establish the following targets regarding what to develop where? Staff could return with more information about the “Mid-Utilization” development scenarios previously mentioned: (2a) 802 West Main St: Long-term rental housing with around (10) 1BR units, 1:1 parking, “retiree-friendly” design, and potential to be converted to for-sale in future; and (2b) 517 Park Circle: Long-term rental housing with around (13) 1BR units, 1:1 parking, “retiree-friendly” design, and potential to be converted to for-sale in future; and (2c) 488 Castle Creek: Long-term and/or seasonal rental housing with around (24) 1BR and/or 4-bedroom seasonal units with 1:1 parking, and potentially with employer participation in seasonal housing. Note: The “Mid Utilization” scenarios shown above are about 78% of what was discussed as “maximum density” in the recent affordable housing mitigation fee-in-lieu discussions where Council decided to base affordable housing mitigation fee-in-lieu calculations on 75% of “maximum density”. (3) Does Council wish to initiate an effort to target income levels for these proposed housing developments? (See attached Exhibit B document taken from the 2012 Strategic Review of Housing study.) Staff could return with additional information about: (3a) Maintain existing model, where income levels for rental housing units are fixed at category 1, category 2 or category 3; and (3b) consider a new model, where rentals may serve a mixture of income categories 1 through 4, while maintaining a targeted average in order to maintain a sustainable business plan P3 I. Page 4 of 4 (4) Other items for Council to consider directing staff to work on: (4a) Communicate with Pitkin County regarding comments received about senior housing (4b) Engage with employers to discuss potential methods for increased employer participation (4c) Re-engage discussions with employers about potential seasonal housing partnerships (4d) Potential further work on the following, with APCHA where appropriate (some which may alternatively be addressed in the upcoming budget work sessions):  Incentivizing downsizing and maintenance of existing facilities  Maintaining existing affordable housing facilities, particularly Centennial  Enforcement of qualifications as well as improvements to qualifications criteria  Increased support for HOAs including capital reserves, HOA accountability, maintenance  Future redevelopment of the Truscott 100 building  Centralization of rental pool availability/application to support those who need rentals CITY MANAGER COMMENTS: ATTACHMENTS: Exhibit A: All Comments Received June 11, July 8, August 6, August 27, 2015 Exhibit B: Pitkin County Household Income Distribution and Existing Housing Stock / 2012 Strategic Review of Housing study Exhibit C: Outreach Displays from June 11 and July 8, 2015 Exhibit D: Outreach Displays from August 6 and August 27, 2015 P4 I.

Government uses taxes to control behavior. Employer Partnerships 1 Employers should a limited liability payment for employee housing For-Rent / For-Sale 1 We need to invest in affordable rental housing, possibly including improvements to existing rental inventory, in order to allow younger worker-bees a first opportunity to establish a sustainable lifestyle here in Aspen and the greater upper-valley For-Rent / For-Sale 1 We cannot displace seniors in existing rental units to make room for the next generation, so building new long- term rental inventory to allow seniors to downsize easily and/or remain where they are is needed Housing Need 1 New affordable housing built should be rentals designed for seniors to provide a safe place for seniors currently living in employee housing, to move in Housing Need 1 Priority should go to younger families who will get more use of the housing. There needs to be an incentive for people to move out of larger houses. There should be a trade program initiated where people could downsize and make room for growing families EXHIBIT A P5 I. ALL COMMENTS RECEIVED June 11, 2015 Housing Need 1 We need to continue to produce both for-sale and for-rent and rents need to remain affordable over time Housing Need 1 Great need for senior housing, particularly since basalt effort fell through Housing Need 1 Re-evaluate housing (affordable) requirements on new free market development - eliminate loopholes so that developers actually build employee housing instead of paying a fee and opting out Housing Need 1 Need more rental options for seniors who want to remain in the valley but can't necessarily work - ability to age in their rental homes Housing Need 1 Before more is built, maintain existing housing, even privately owned HOA's Housing Need 1 Building defects in existing facilities should be corrected, like Centennial Housing Need 1 If people have not saved for capital repairs, and if they cannot afford necessary capital repairs, then they should be required to move out Housing Need 1 There should be more emphasis on education about capital reserve savings Long-term / Seasonal Rental 1 More need for seasonal rentals Miscellaneous 1 what we really need are year round housing options for the 20 somethings that do not earn enough to pay $1200+ for a room!! They seasonal housing is great but it means that every spring my son comes home again as he can not find affordable housing for the 3 month period that the music school takes over the seasonal spaces. Seems like the student numbers have been dropping enough to perhaps allow many of the apartments to be rented year round. Miscellaneous 1 Provide inform/waiting lists in which people can sign up to a specific category & size (ex. 3 bdrm) home to be emailed when one comes up. Miscellaneous 1 Upkeep existing properties ex. the large lodge by North Star Reserve that is vacant, is an absolutely beautiful location, but empty & rundown. Financially assist older employee housing (Hunter Creek-Solar voltaic system on roof to upgrade boilers of employee buildings, Centennial-overhang roofs to prevent continued damage). A certain percent should be planned to upkeep for needs 20 yrs after being built and every 10 years following for all employee housing. What type of upkeep would be unique to that properties needs. If sold affordable need to be maintained affordable too. Miscellaneous 1 Community Garden located across from Hunter Creek for community around that area (Marolt's has a 20 yr wait list) Miscellaneous 1 Future units built need to be 3 and 4 bedrooms otherwise it's inadvertantly like China creating a one child family policy, because there's not an affordble way for larger families to live up here. Families bring a lot of stability and joy to a city. Miscellaneous 1 Units should take advantage of the CO sunlight and views by intentionally being built with windows facing good views and have many windows. Being a wintery city with high suicide rates, natural light and nature help withSeasonal Depression Disorder and from my observations the suicides seem to occur primarly in winter or at the end of winter. Also having overhead lighting rather than just outlets for lamps. (Lamps are challenging with children, take up room in the limited space.) Miscellaneous 1 Carbon monoxide detectors don't need to be in units w/o garages & dryers (most employee units) & should not be required for resale-this is one of the contract areas they are sticklers about, yet other areas like shades that originally came w/ unit, broken outlets, holes in walls, wall paper, working appliances even though these are in the legal contract to be fixed before sale the APCHA people act like you are asking too much when making a list of these things that need to be fixed prior to sell. Miscellaneous 1 APCHA office employees to receive training on efficiency in creating template emails & procedures so as to make the most of their time & money for salaries.

If you want locals, give them ownership. Miscellaneous 4 APCHA should do a better job of making sure that the rightful owner is actually living in their unit (unless they have been approved through APCHA to rent it for 6 mos). User Considerations 4 Youth who grew up in Aspen / No special consideration - children who return can occupy/inherit parents residence but still have to qualify as FT work force - this is only fair 488 Castle Creek Drive 3 Develop 488 Castle Creek Dr as long-term rental housing asap 802 West Main Street 3 We need for sale units, 2-3 bedrooms for families with dogs 802 West Main Street 3 I would favor a lower density for rent program at 802 West Main St 802 West Main Street 3 I get the trade-offs, we need to balance the density at 802 West Main St 802 West Main Street 3 Good to mix city housing in all neighborhoods with free market. They will all be neighbors maintain higher standards. 802 West Main Street 3 Why be tunnel vision and believe we need to have single family houses. Look at Europe where land is so finite that the way we reside is no longer possible to keep the kind of single house sites, multiple units Housing Need 3 Do not build cat 1 & 2 units for sale Long-term / Seasonal Rental 3 Need both long-term and seasonal rentals Long-term / Seasonal Rental 3 Seasonal and long term rental tenants should not be asked to coexist in a new facility Long-term / Seasonal Rental 3 We need more long term rental housing at an affordable cost. I am looking now and there is nothing! Who can pay $3,000+ / month as a single mom, crazy. Let's support our community by helping place people when nothing is available. Long-term / Seasonal Rental 3 Younger professionals w/ growing families (category 4) do not have any opportunities to buy. This problem can be solved by giving incentives to people that own bigger houses (kids have moved out) and would want to downsize (by exchange for smaller places) "trade program" Miscellaneous 3 All visitors to Aspen perceive it to be a dog friendly City. Why can't employee housing be dog friendly? Especially if you are purchasing not renting. Miscellaneous 3 There need to be cooperation between the governments and the employer to help fill the needs for the seasonal housing that is an important part of the local economy and it is not going to go away. Miscellaneous 3 Preserve our character by keeping a balance of rental/for-sale units mixed in our whole community neighborhoods build a better 'vibe'. Miscellaneous 3 We are a non-profit and want to participate in employee housing, but cannot afford 100% subsidy. There must be another way. What are the other options? Miscellaneous 3 Get rid of snow dumb designers EXHIBIT A P7 I. ALL COMMENTS RECEIVED JULY 8, 2015 Miscellaneous 3 No turnover in 3-4 bedroom places. Need more. Miscellaneous 3 Allow dogs User Considerations 3 There should be some kind of accommodation for retirees or otherwise aging population User Considerations 3 Support dogs being allowed at 50% of a facility 488 Castle Creek Drive 2 Develop both 488 Castle Creek and 517 Park Circle or 802 West Main St now / at the same time 517 Park Circle 2 The City grants so many height variances, why not grant itself a variance and build apartment units higher than code (where it may not be too obtrusive) - 4 story bldg apartments 517 Park Circle 2 Develop 517 Park Circle as for sale housing asap 517 Park Circle 2 Develop 517 Park Circle as rental housing and then sell the units 10-15 years later when the lumber yard property is redeveloped 517 Park Circle 2 I would favor a higher density for sale program at 517 Park Circle 802 West Main Street 2 Redevelop 802 West Main St as rental housing and then sell the units 10-15 years later when the lumber yard property is redeveloped 802 West Main Street 2 Redevelop the 100 (studio) building at Truscott before developing 802 West Main St 802 West Main Street 2 I would favor a higher density for sale program at 802 West Main St 802 West Main Street 2 Site is too small for efficient development as multifamily, sell it Employer Partnerships 2 Employers should be expected to help pay for housing Employer Partnerships 2 Employers already do help pay for housing Employer Partnerships 2 We would love the opportunity (to help pay for housing) - St Moritz. Start w/ 50% or $50,000 per Employer Partnerships 2 Employers should not have to pay for housing / They are already creating jobs with challenges of attracting talent in this difficult environment For-Rent / For-Sale 2 seasonal for rent should be done next For-Rent / For-Sale 2 We should look at condo conversion with long-term rentals to give opportunities to long term renters to be placed in ownership housing Housing Need 2 Rentals, seasonal town should have seasonal housing Housing Need 2 Non-profit organizations should be allowed to purchase an employee housing unit for employee use, without having to pay extra subsidy. Housing Need 2 Rental units for lower categories - 1BR Housing Need 2 All properties must be well constructed in the first place. Don't blame current owners for deferred maintenance when buildings were inherently flawed from the time of construction. The problem continues from Centennial to Burlingame - still should require minimum upkeep Housing Need 2 Need to make it attractive for people in all categories to move up the ladder even to RO so that inventory becomes available for new families/employees Long-term / Seasonal Rental 2 Creating more ownership units should be a higher priority for us in general, but as for long-term or seasonal rentals, long-term wins by a long shot, because the long term employee contributes to a more stable, invested, vital community, and is more likely to volunteer, participate, vote, etc. Long-term / Seasonal Rental 2 Long-term and seasonal / free market rentals can be both Long-term / Seasonal Rental 2 Long-term and seasonal / the cases should mix and inter-marry Long-term / Seasonal Rental 2 Consider a co-op for HOAs to pool purchase of services like landscaping/plowing/accounting/legal Miscellaneous 2 Like to see long term 1BR (and studio) for over age 65 in Aspen Miscellaneous 2 Housing office should focus not primarily on putting forth new projects to develop but on making sure the existing properties and systems are being run as efficiently as possible. Board and staff need to work together more cooperatively. Staff and board need to move to make the case for the value add for employee housing to our community, or else each time a property is to be added, there will be a policital battle over whyt we need it. Miscellaneous 2 I understand the challenges of having dogs in rental units, but would really love to see opportunities for those who purchase homes. We are very lucky to be homeowners in this fantastic place, but my family is disappointed that we cannot have dogs. Miscellaneous 2 I would like to see the homeowners requirements addrerss removing certain assets from net worth when applied to category assignment. IF a hard earned 401K or IRA is applied to your net worth and puts you in a higher category, it artifically inflates what you can afford thereby making you buy a more expensive unit. Obviously the 401K or IRA can be used in an emergency, but at great expense. Miscellaneous 2 Employee housing program is such a great contributor to the vitality of our town. We are so lucky to have this farsighted option for families and young people to make a go of living here. Unfortunately there is a perception that APCHA is not running a tight, efficient, and well-managed program. APCHA needs to focus on being the best-managed organization it can be. Until the perception/reality improves, even on enforcement issues that may seem minor to staff, the entire program will be undermined and doing anything new/developing new properties will be an uphill battle. Miscellaneous 2 APCHA needs to provide more support for HOAs to enforce delinquent homeowners in payment plans and support evictions. Miscellaneous 2 Close loopholes which allow private developers to avoid providing appropriate quantity of affordable housing, parking and storage. EXHIBIT A P8 I. ALL COMMENTS RECEIVED JULY 8, 2015 Miscellaneous 2 Work hours (1500) and occupancy standards are too low. Raise 'em. Miscellaneous 2 Non profits do not deserve exceptions since they are already tax exempt. They should be investing in improving housing as much as for-profits Miscellaneous 2 Develop ProBuild at ABC. High density ownership. Take the loss and build. Miscellaneous 2 If it's meant to be for employees, need to not cater to retirees Miscellaneous 2 More cat 3-6 2BR units Miscellaneous 2 Work w/ government to consider 'free market trickle effects' like impact of AIRBNB/VRBO/ST RENTALS on affordable free market rentals. Maybe zone only core for for these types of super short term rentals? Then these non-core owners rent to locals and reduce pressure on APCHA Miscellaneous 2 No more non-snow area living designers (Long term issues and more $) Miscellaneous 2 Don't take lowest bids User Considerations 2 Retirees should have clear and simple means to downgrade - move into smaller units User Considerations 2 Trade out for smaller units. Have to make room for working families. User Considerations 2 Youth who grew up in Aspen / just like everyone else 488 Castle Creek Drive 1 Is 488 Castle Creek really big enough to house up to 52 people?

(refers to higher density scenarios) 802 West Main Street 1 Senior rentals 802 West Main Street 1 At .82 of an acre and .21 acre, these properties are way too small to build on - need space like Burlingame or Marolt 802 West Main Street 1 Look at the good job Peter Fornell did on a 7500 sq ft site next to Mesa Store Bakery (refers to 500 W Main) 802 West Main Street 1 These are both great sites for higher density rental, long or short, or purchase. Close to town. Walkable. New urbanism. Friendly locations. 802 West Main Street 1 Why not make retiree housing walkable to town, single family near schools/arc, and 1-BR rentals for seasonal 802 West Main Street 1 Too much seasonal housing allows employers to drive down wages - build for community 802 West Main Street 1 School needs to get bigger with additional developments - already packed 802 West Main Street 1 Transit needs to be addressed with additional developments 802 West Main Street 1 Daycare needs to expand with additional developments Employer Partnerships 1 Employers should help pay for housing via wages that allow for residency Employer Partnerships 1 If employers could play lottery and buy for staff EXHIBIT A P9 I. ALL COMMENTS RECEIVED JULY 8, 2015 Employer Partnerships 1 Employers should not have to pay a subsidy in order to provide an employee with housing. Especially true for non profits Employer Partnerships 1 Allow employers to enter lottery Employer Partnerships 1 Apply some of the taxes a business pays toward helping with rentals (tax credit?) Employer Partnerships 1 Established long standing businesses should have priotity in rental pool. The businesses are collecting taxes, members of ACRA and they need to keep and bring in employees that can stay. Sometimes this requires an immediate need for a rental unit for a new employee. Without workforce in this resort city, Aspen will not survive. Employer Partnerships 1 Check out and emulate P. Fornell's certificates. Employer Partnerships 1 Give employers a deal on property/permits + require that housing be employee occupied For-Rent / For-Sale 1 We need both (for sale / for rent) For-Rent / For-Sale 1 Did the study take into account all the kids still in Aspen schools who will need a place to live when they get a job and live here? They surely can't afford to buy.

Perhaps with the number of music students dwindling we could make a few more full year round apts available at marolt or Burlingame? Housing Need 1 As a program coordinator and senior staff member at the Buddy Program, I work with people from every single demographic in Aspen and the valley - from some of the most wealthy year-round residents who have families to some of the most impoverished families in the area and every age and economic category in between. Last month alone, I lost a volunteer and a family to lack of housing - a 30-year-old smart, capable citizen who was contributing to the health of our community - as well as a fantastic family who also contributed to the health of our community and had two fantastic young girls. Both left the area because of lack of housing. Both have a dog, which was one major reason why they couldn't find housing. Housing Need 1 We had an employee leave us after two months of employment due to lack of affordable housing Housing Need 1 No long range plan in place for retirees staying in the units forever - must be addressed. We can't just keep building more Housing Need 1 Rentals, for our needs. This summer we were $80,000 over budget fro housing Housing Need 1 Feedback from local employees - CRITICAL Housing Need 1 Over 80, fastest growing demographic in Aspen! Housing Need 1 Seasonal housing and lower priced rentals is something that we will never build too much. The nature of our industry depends on workers in the lower incomes. Without them we are in trouble. We should work with the employers to accomplish the goal. Housing Need 1 Employment growth is primarily driven by new development which provides its own mitigation plus government. Housing Need 1 Trade with retirees to get them into smaller units, open up for more families. Renovate unit in between. Lower pricing for smaller unit. Housing Need 1 Too many people in affordable housing that don't belong there. Check assets. Housing Need 1 Take care not to overpay for potential sites. Housing Need 1 Only 2 seasonal complexes. Maroon Creek and Fritz Benedict. Need more. Housing Need 1 There will always be a need. Just keep producing at a reasonable, steady rate. 100% should never be the goal. Housing Need 1 We might experiement with a few less strict resale plans. Housing Need 1 Need to take care of existing housing complexes - not build more. Housing Need 1 They did a bad job at Burlingame - some in the first phase still haven't been signed off on. Housing Need 1 We need to maintain the housing we already have Housing Need 1 APCHA should get involved in or dictate reserve assessments for deed restricted associations Housing Need 1 Board fiduciary accountability Housing Need 1 Recourse through APCHA for governing docs non-compliance & financial non-performance Housing Need 1 We need affordable housing. Cat 5, 6, 7 owners still can't resell & APCHA wants to force owners to lower their sale price every month by 5% until it sells & lose their hard earned equity. This is absurd. EXHIBIT A P10 I. ALL COMMENTS RECEIVED JULY 8, 2015 Housing Need 1 I have lived here for 34 years. I wrote the AACP housing narrative in 1993. I do not want to create a rental-based housing program. Community plan not workforce temp plan is the vision. One does not create a community out of temp workers. Jefferson proposed giving every Virginian ownership of 5 acres. Give people ownership and they will give you a community. Walk through neighborhoods of affordable housing and you will see what owners do to improve their lives. No one ever washed a rental car. Compare landscaping at Truscott or Castle Ridge with Common Ground or Snyder. You'll see. Housing Need 1 Strongly Disagree - Problem is not renters. It's poor mgmt and enforcement. This is a ski town. Housing Need 1 What is the process for repeating back to the community on the feedback gathered here tonight Housing Need 1 Aspen needs a rental housing program. People who rent are just as much a part of the community as people who buy. Kids who grew up here and want to work/live here and can't find affordable! Housing Need 1 2-3 bedroom for sale for families Housing Need 1 Build short term rental units - you have short term people Housing Need 1 Build long term rental units - short term people will move into long term units. Some other short term people will occupy their units Housing Need 1 Build for-sale - long term rental will buy for-sale, short term will move into long term, and some other will occupy short term Housing Need 1 Build for-sale - This is the best possible solution as it will give greater choice.. If the money to spend is the same Housing Need 1 Too many units are going to be housing retirees in the next 5 years Housing Need 1 Some units housing retirees are multi-bedroom with only 1 retiree living in them Housing Need 1 Retirees / After 34 years I should leave? Housing Need 1 Retirees are important for the richness of the community. Considr what incentives might exist to encourage downsizing. Affordable housing should be about building/maintaining the community. What kind of community tries to push out / marginalize members who have contributed long enough to retire? Housing Need 1 Sems like Aspen is about providing owner units subsidized by parents. Why does Aspen treat people who rent (normally they rent because they can't afford on their $12-15 per hous job) as second class citizens? Housing Need 1 For sale and rentals / not just rentals Housing Need 1 Why did the City take a HOLD position on the Lumber Yard? Housing Need 1 We need a lumber yard. Housing Need 1 Yes, we need a lumber yard, but is there room for some housing there also? (materials right there! :) Housing Need 1 All affordable, both rental and sale housing must have strong capital replacement funds + deferred maintenance funds Housing Need 1 We've done way more than minimum (Centennial). Get facts at centennialdisclosed.org Housing Need 1 Housing for sale for families 2-3 BR Housing Need 1 Need to establish guidelines for future retiring workforce Housing Need 1 New affordable housing built should be rentals designed for seniors to provide a safe place for seniors currently living in employee housing, to move in Long-term / Seasonal Rental 1 Employer need to provide for much of their employees Long-term / Seasonal Rental 1 Ownership too stressful when many owners are too selfish.

Too many personalities in ownership - too much fighting and unfairness within groups. Long-term / Seasonal Rental 1 We need to open up homes who wish to rent - as was in the 60s and 70s. - losen some of the rules/codes Long-term / Seasonal Rental 1 There need to be separate rental units for music school. It is depleting the inventory needed for full time employees in Aspen. EXHIBIT A P11 I. ALL COMMENTS RECEIVED JULY 8, 2015 Long-term / Seasonal Rental 1 Housing dept staff need to be more customer service oriented toward existing rental/purchase/HOAs Long-term / Seasonal Rental 1 More credit should be given for upgrades put in a unit - should be done by an unbiased appraiser. Long-term / Seasonal Rental 1 Figure out a way to find out all the income owners/renters have hidden in trust funds, don't deserve to be in subsidized housing Long-term / Seasonal Rental 1 Not all people who are 'temps' move on - remember we are a resort town and many of our kids and adults who were born here work in those jobs. Long-term / Seasonal Rental 1 Investigate leaseholds, not sure it all needs to be rental or owned. Owned = tougher to monitor appropriate usage. Long-term / Seasonal Rental 1 How many of us started out as temps? - just going to be here for a season/year? Long-term / Seasonal Rental 1 Find a way to enforce minimum standards of upkeep for new and existing stock. Long-term / Seasonal Rental 1 In complex priority means an owner can take very poor care of their unit + trade up, leaving the problem to a desperate new owner. Long-term / Seasonal Rental 1 Need housing for professionals and couples, no kids. Long-term / Seasonal Rental 1 Transparency when affordable unit is included in SF dwelling permit. Who rents? How much? Long-term / Seasonal Rental 1 There are free market options - the problem is that the quality per $$ for subsidized/employee units FAR outweighs the quality per $$ for free market. Long-term / Seasonal Rental 1 There are many professional (bank president, doctor, architect, lawyer - are only 4 examples off the top of my head) retirees or almost retirees who are in units that could have been purchased at a time in their lives when they started out making less $$ - but as time went on their salaries increased but they choose to stay put and save $ so they can rtire comfortably in Aspen. If a person qualifies at $65,000 or so per year, 15/20 years ago + now makes twice that do they still qualify for the same category? This has happened at almost all complexes. Long-term / Seasonal Rental 1 So do we kick people out for saving money? I paid off my mortgage on my affordable unit. Do I need to move to a more expensive unit and mortgage? Long-term / Seasonal Rental 1 City can't maintain the older inventory it has now - nor can we afford to keep building the top of the line amenities. Build safe adequate but basic needs - not more high end amenities and lifestyles. No one has the right to fair / subsidized housing - it's a privelege. Long-term / Seasonal Rental 1 Need tech talent here. Attract with affordable long term rentals, especially 1BR Miscellaneous 1 Current employee housing owners should be required to a certain level of maintenance on their properties or forfeit their right of appreciation. This pertains especially to owners that bought in the early stages and have not maintained, yet their property value has increased exponentially and the upkeep has been minimal. Miscellaneous 1 Agree, units cannot be allowed to deteriorate. Miscellaneous 1 Agree, create incentives for owners to do this (maintain their property) Miscellaneous 1 You can only maintain a certain amount until you realize what is needed is a rebuild. i.e. sold a defective property as in the case of Centennial Miscellaneous 1 How is $600K to $1M affordable housing? Miscellaneous 1 Great job at Burlingame Phase II. We love it and the fantastic family setting. Miscellaneous 1 My observation has been that when a family loves a pet, the love is as deep as a two-legged family member. It seems essentially unfair that only those who are wealthy enough to buy a free-market home of their own have the opportunity to experience this type of relationship because housing is unavailable to families with dogs. In the case of the volunteer, she is a single woman who lives alone - her life is better and richer and, she feels, safer with her canine companion. Miscellaneous 1 I have two children of my own and earn a middle class income - there is not enough housing for the four of us to live in Aspen - we basically have no choices beyond Burlingame, which frankly feels over-priced for the product. Miscellaneous 1 Under $500K affordable Miscellaneous 1 Important to "market" or use PR to make the whole community inclusing second home owners more aware of the value of EH - maybe a campaign with testimonials "I am employee housing" so people see the impact of what the program gives back in workers invested in town Miscellaneous 1 (regarding assets/liabilities in qualifying) Account for certain necessary expenses also, eg daycare which is $12K per yr Miscellaneous 1 (regarding assets/liabilities in qualifying) Children's college funds should be excluded from assets Miscellaneous 1 Partner with Basalt entities to finish/develop senior housing on land under contract already Miscellaneous 1 Schedule outreach on days which do not coincide with APCHA open houses. Miscellaneous 1 Livable square footage is critical - whether it is high density or low density, rental or for purchase. Many of Aspen's AH units can only fit a single bed, chair and desk. In Burlingame seasonal rental facility, it's always fun to wake up in the morning , look out your window, and see you neighbor getting dressed. Miscellaneous 1 What about their using private development such as those by F. Fornell to mitigate? This seems like a fine solution. EXHIBIT A P12 I. ALL COMMENTS RECEIVED JULY 8, 2015 Miscellaneous 1 Income categories need to be annually adjusted to keep track with annual changes in AMI. Rents and purchase prices need to annually change consistent with changes in AMI. Adopt Federal change approach. Miscellaneous 1 Incomes are higher in Aspen and controlled rents are lower versus Denver Miscellaneous 1 Empty nesters should be able to have some priority to downsize if wanted Miscellaneous 1 Perhaps a stronger enforcement dept to ensure units are correctly occupied Miscellaneous 1 Non-profit employers should not be required to help pay for employee housing it purchases to be occupied by its employees Miscellaneous 1 All new developments must supply houisng for % of jobs they create. No exceptions Miscellaneous 1 Vacancy tax? New free market homeowners paying into employye housing program for x% of time they do not live in their Aspen home? Otherwise they will need to supply a small affordable rental unit on their property to rent to qualified employee in Aspen Miscellaneous 1 Keep ProBuild. Build above and next to Miscellaneous 1 Proper governing docs creation, owner & board fiduciary accountability critical. APCHA must have more teeth. Miscellaneous 1 Better when housing is mixed with free market Miscellaneous 1 Rental as a stepping stone to buying. SO employees have a vested interest in our community Miscellaneous 1 Balance subsidizing housing ownership and that type of financial situation with that same person having to maintain the property at full price. These people can't have massive reserve requests as the only option. Miscellaneous 1 Need more cat 2-3. Cat 5-7 won't sell and owners get stuck or lose money because because they bought above their category. Why? Because that is the only ones that are easy to win in the lottery. Miscellaneous 1 Please consider a trade program (incentive) Miscellaneous 1 No Cat 1 & 2 for sale units - but need lots more 1-3 cat rentals Miscellaneous 1 Disagree with no cat 1 & 2 for sale. Why should people of lesser means be relegated to rental status (2nd class). Is not the american dream for all? Why not let them build equity? Miscellaneous 1 No in-APCHA priority Miscellaneous 1 Expand tiers, penalizing those who can save anything Miscellaneous 1 If catering to retirees, survey retirees to determine desire to downsizing before proposing policy changes that penalize other qualified applicants Miscellaneous 1 Burlingame is not affordable for most of us. (And why no dogs?) Miscellaneous 1 APCHA benefits for every unit $old. Can't treat HOA's/ Owners like it's free market system only when convenient, and then control everything else we do. Can't expect current owners to pay for problems created by shoddy construction 30 years ago, and not be permitted to add to resale value, especially on a project which received no subsidies when it was constructed. Miscellaneous 1 Allow retirees to stay in units but facilitate and incentivize downsizing if the person wants to. These are the people who built this town/community, literally + figuratively. They deserve the most respect! (I'm not a retiree - 20+ yrs to go.) Miscellaneous 1 In owned/HOA units personalities dictate more than common sense when it comes to following rules, collecting unpaid dues - how can this be resolved? Our lack of leadership within the associations is a problem also. Miscellaneous 1 Need more infill in Wdest End - SO dark and dead for most of the year. Why no interest in forest servcice parcels? Miscellaneous 1 Need higher minimum standards for development (layour, features, etc.) of ADUs and affordable housing Miscellaneous 1 Hire local designers Miscellaneous 1 Develop several properties simultaneously Miscellaneous 1 Need GC on staff for educated input on design Miscellaneous 1 Better oversight of procedures and materials during construction Miscellaneous 1 Good parking plan (Callahan court) Miscellaneous 1 Need better snow removal consideration Miscellaneous 1 City plowing streets into private areas doesn't work Miscellaneous 1 Private affordable rentals need to go back in pool for availability to all Miscellaneous 1 Upkeep existing properties ex. the large lodge by North Star Reserve that is vacant, is an absolutely beautiful location, but empty & rundown. Financially assist older employee housing (Hunter Creek-Solar voltaic system on roof to upgrade boilers of employee buildings, Centennial-overhang roofs to prevent continued damage). A certain percent should be planned to upkeep for needs 20 yrs after being built and every 10 years following for all employee housing. What type of upkeep would be unique to that properties needs. If sold affordable need to be maintained affordable too. EXHIBIT A P13 I. ALL COMMENTS RECEIVED JULY 8, 2015 Miscellaneous 1 Currently you have a pool of each. Some people are happy to be owners and some are happy to rent. If you build 100 rentals then 100-200 workers will rent them. If you build 100 for sale, and with enough demand, you will sell everything to people who live and work in the area. Mostly to people who currently rent. Their place will be taken by the same 100-200 people who are looking for rentals. This will give better opportunities not only for the people who are trying to rent, but for the people who are trying to buy. The demand(For Sale) is something that you have to figure out, but with the prices going higher on the free market, I believe you will not have any problems with that. In addition, owners are more responsible toward the community. The lots that will be developed are knitted into the community. Imagine seasonal workers living there. For Sale wins! Miscellaneous 1 1BD vs 3BD. All 3 properties should be developed as 1BD. You currently have many 3BD apartments and I presume that Burlingame will add some more(hopefully category 3 and 4 only). You probably have some demographics information for the area, but there was always more people on the wait list for 1BD than 3BD apartments. Also in the future, many of the owners that will stay in the area will not have the children living with them any longer. Some will retire. You should give priority and incentives to these people to downsize to a beautiful 1BD apartment if they don’t need these extra rooms. In such cases, some of the requirements can be waived and even give them credits for their closing/sale costs. You will get 3BD apartments in the future, by paying for 1BD today. Build more 3 BD and people will not have a place to downsize to or couples will not be able to own. 1BD wins! User Considerations 1 "Qualified" is a loaded term - qualified for full time in the service industry? Public/private sector?

Bleeker street and my house shares the alley with the Bavarian AH project and 802 w. main st. I am happy with my neighbors and enjoy them and their kids. Our neighborhood has vitality year round and we like it. So my comments are in no way against AH. My primary concern is the density that might be placed on 802 and the impact of more people and their cars on the neighborhood. 802 West Main Street 1 On-site parking must be provided sufficient to support the approved density. The neighborhood already experiences parking impacts along Main Street (extended to the west of 7th street), where people who do not live in the neighborhood (and some who do) park commercial vehicles, trucks, campers, trailers and vehicles for sale. These often spill over onto W. Bleeker street since there is barely enough parking for the villas and West Bleeker town homes projects. 802 West Main Street 1 It is my sense that no more than six units would be appropriate on this site and that there should be at least one on-site parking space per bedroom (up to 2 spaces per unit). That ought to achieve a reasonable density for this property. There are safety reasons as well since the kids play in the alley - it is their park. For-Rent / For-Sale 1 Rent now. Sale later.. But continual For-Rent / For-Sale 1 All future affordable housing needs to be rentals. Parking needs to be provided for these units.

Strategic Review of Housing 15 Not surprisingly, the largest focus for affordable housing need for Pitkin County is in Categories 1 – 4. However, note the sizable number of households with income levels greater than the current maximum for Category 7. Of the aggregate 1,209 households with income greater than allowable income maximum, many could still qualify for affordable housing, provided countable assets remain below $900,000. Since no published asset data exists for Pitkin County by income bracket, it is not possible to discern what number of this population is still eligible for RO housing without a survey. NUMBER OF HOUSING UNITS RELATIVE TO POPULATION BY CATEGORY THRESHOLDS The chart below portrays that there is a positive correlation in the number of APCHA affordable housing units (rental and ownership) relative to the Pitkin County population. However, one exception to this correlation is certainly true for Category 1 – at this time, it is unknown why there is such a large number of Category 1 households and where those households are residing given the limited number of affordable housing units.

Strategic Review of Housing 16 In addition to the APCHA housing stock reflected in the preceding chart, the Town of Snowmass Village (TOSV) also has its own separate stock of affordable rentals (247units), for-sale units (177 units), and employer-owned staff and caretaker units (333 units). As the criteria used by Snowmass Village does not specifically correspond to the categories noted within APCHA guidelines, the additional 757 TOSV units included in the chart below have been allocated on a basis similar to the overall household demographics for Pitkin County – this is merely an assumption on how to reflect these additional units, and can be adjusted. Source: Unit counts from APCHA rental & ownership inventory and Town of Snowmass Village Housing Manager; household count from Table 8 EXHIBIT B P19 I. Strategic Review of Housing 17 Not all RO properties are “high dollar”: The table above reflects “categorizing” the rental and ownership RO units from previous chart into applicable categories based on the Pitkin County Assessor’s Office listed actual values. By redistributing the RO inventory in the “applicable” income and asset categories, we can more accurately display what populations these RO units are attempting to support. Remaining RO inventory in the table above reflects current ownership units with property values above $600,000. What do these charts tell us? What might you conclude or wonder from looking at these graphs:  The solid black line represents Pitkin County households not Pitkin County worker households which we know is greater.  Cat 1 households are finding places to live – but not necessarily in APCHA housing.  Does that large spike in category 1 households really represent working households?  People might not report all their income.  People might have assets and small income.  There is little need to create category 5-7 housing. We should concentrate on developing housing in the Cat 1-4 ranges – there appears to be little demand and sufficient supply for Cat 5-7 units. Until down-valley prices rise to the levels we saw prior to the market crash of 2008, or until ASD moves to severely limit out of district enrollment for down-valley Aspen workers, there appears to be no reason to concentrate much resources on providing Cat 5-7 units.  There appears to be a need for category 1-4 housing (Cat 1 rental housing, as it is problematic to purchase at even a Cat 1 level). What you probably should not take away from these graphs:  Do not hastily assume a huge need for category 1 housing until this data can be better understood.  Dotted line is a 6 yr aggregate and may be more of an indication of the shape of the demand curve rather than a snapshot of demand.  Dotted line is based on what's is available for sale and thus, particularly in the case of category 1, should not be assumed as an indication of demand EXHIBIT B P20 I.

MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Council FROM : Don Taylor, City Finance Director THROUGH: Steve Barwick, City Manager DATE OF MEMO: August 21, 2015 RE: Direction for City Arts and Community Non Profit Grants SUMMARY: The Grant Committee is preparing for its consideration of the grant allocations for 2016. Grant requests have been received and committee members are currently going through them. The Committee would like to inquire of City Council if there is any guidance or special considerations that you would like to give the committee in its consideration of grant recommendations. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Each year City Council gives budget direction regarding the anticipated level of arts and non-profit grants funding increase and then reviews and takes action on the grants review committee recommendations for grant amounts to each organization. The following are the current criteria used by the committee based on previous Council guidance. The overall goal of the City’s grant program is to enhance the spirit, character, vitality and well-being of the Aspen community. In reviewing an organization’s grant request, the committee considers the following parameters: • How does the group directly benefit our community? Does it make Aspen a better place to live and visit? Do its activities reflect the values of the Aspen community? • Does the group add to the creative vitality of the community? • Does the group educate our youth – or provide our youth with needed recreational opportunities? • Does the group engender wide community participation? Because its activities are valuable, interesting, stimulating and/or fun, does the group engage a large portion of our citizens in its audience and its volunteer staff? • Does the organization have Aspen roots? (…as opposed to a national organization with no deep Aspen connection.) • Does the organization offer a vital community service in an efficient manner which the government might otherwise have to provide? • Is the funding critical to the success of the Non-profit or do they already have substantial donors to support their efforts. • Does the organization contribute to the economic success of the city in a material way? P56 II. BACKGROUND: In 1979, City voters approved a .5% Wheeler Opera House Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT) that went into effect in 1980. The ballot language stated that RETT funds could be used “only for the purpose of renovation, reconstruction, and maintenance of the Wheeler Opera House or for the payment of principal and interest on bonds issued for such purposes and for the purpose of supporting the visual and performing arts. However, the City Council cannot appropriate in excess of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) in any single calendar year for the purpose of supporting the visual and performing arts without obtaining the approval of sixty percent (60%) of the electors …” At the direction of City Council, the Wheeler Opera House has been responsible for funding 100% of the arts portion of the annual not-for-profit grants requests since 1999. The Wheeler has contributed the $100,000 from the RETT, with the balance coming from non-RETT Wheeler operating revenues. The total proposed for the 2016 budget is $350,000 for arts grants. The proposed funding for community non-profit grants is $404,830 and is accounted for in the City’s General Fund. This is a 2% increase over the 2015 level. DISCUSSION: The Grant Committee thinks that the evaluation criteria are still relevant, however it likes to review the criteria with City Council from time to time to allow for different emphases if so desired. In recent years there have been some discussions about the level of funding that should be granted to large non-profits that already have a substantial donor base and/or endowment. Should the grant awards reward success? All non-profits will argue that it is important for them to receive some level of City funding as it communicates community support and helps them in their broader fund raising efforts. Relatively minor changes in direction or emphasis can be readily adopted for this year’s grants review cycle. However, if Council would like to make some major changes to the evaluation criteria, the timing should be considered. Since the 2016 grant applications were prepared and submitted earlier this summer under the current guidelines and criteria, Council may wish to defer any significant changes to the program so that they take effect during the 2017 grant cycle. That way there will be time for discussion and clear communication with the arts and non-profit organizations and they can keep any changes in mind as they prepare their grant applications. P57 II.
