Title
AN ORDINANCE authorizing the King County executive to enter into a development agreement with Bridge Housing Corporation and Community Roots Housing to develop and ground lease county-owned land located at the Northgate Park and Pool lot, in council district one, for affordable housing and related purposes.
Body
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
1. Consistent with K.C.C. 4.56.070.C.1. and K.C.C. 4.56.085, in 2018 King County issued a request for qualifications and concepts, number 1207-18-VLN ("the RFQ/C"), through which King County sought proposals for the development of its Northgate Park and Pool lot. Among other things, the RFQ/C required proposals to include a minimum of two hundred units of subsidized affordable housing for a minimum of fifty years to serve households earning up to sixty percent of Area Median Income ("AMI"), with a mix of unit sizes and configurations, and with a minimum of ten percent of the units to be "system connected," serving very-low to extremely-low income households below fifty percent AMI.
2. The RFQ/C resulted in three proposals and King County selected a developer team and commenced negotiations with the selected team.
3. After extensive negotiations the Metro transit department determined that the county should enter into a development agreement and ground lease a portion of the county-owned land located at the Northgate Park and Pool lot to Bridge Housing Corporation and Community Roots Housing (collectively, "Bridge/CRH") for an affordable housing project to include two hundred thirty-two units of affordable housing for seventy-five years with at least twenty-four units designated for system-connected households with incomes of fifty percent or less of the area median income.
4. The Metro transit department successfully negotiated a development agreement, form of ground lease, and related instruments with Bridge/CRH for a portion of the county-owned land located at the Northgate Park and Pool lot.
