Discussion item - Stakeholder Discussion about Housing Matters: College Park policy
options for neighborhood stabilization, for those neighborhoods trending toward rentals;
Discussion of affordable housing policies, programs and initiatives; Discussion of strategies to
provide affordable housing (student and other). Guest: Eric Olson, College Park City University
Partnership.
1. Mr. Ryan reviewed the PowerPoint about options to support neighborhood stabilization.
Wojahn:
• DC charges an increasing amount for every parking permit you request. As you request
over two or three permits, the rate for each permit goes up.
• We can’t address neighborhood stabilization issues without addressing affordable
housing for students.
• Make sure we are making the best use of the tools in our toolbox – have we fully utilized
the Unruly Social Gathering Ordinance? Should CEOs wear body cameras so we have
the evidence?
• Is a violation of the noise ordinance also a violation of the Unruly Social Gathering
Ordinance?
Rigg:
• Can we address the County’s zoning cap of 5 unrelated tenants in a single-family house?
• Address the economics. We tried Rent Stabilization before but stepped back from it. Is it
something to consider again?
• Can we implement policy differentially in certain neighborhoods or even on certain
streets that are turning toward rentals based on some measurable metric.
• Bifurcate the economic considerations from the compliance/enforcement side – suggests
we focus on market interventions at this time. We have addressed the
compliance/enforcement side and for the most part it works.
• The lower rent/lower frills housing is found in the dormitories.
Esters:
• We don’t want to penalize homeowners in the process. We don’t want to move the
problem.
• Discussion of inspections to find homes with more than five unrelated and how to
prosecute zoning violations through the County.
• Can we work with UMD to restrict homes being advertised as 9-bedroom homes?
• Can we consider tax credits to encourage affordable student housing.
• What is the University doing to deal with housing, and how are we working together to
address affordable housing for students.

Mitchell:
• We need to drill down on the term “five-unrelated”
• Do we have houses that are grandfathered in to allow more tenants?
• Parents that buy house for a child going to UMD then turn them into rental – that’s
considered owner-occupied. They can have two tenants without City inspections/permits.
If they have three, they should go through the licensing process. Ryan – there are some
R-18 zoned properties where more than 5 can legally live there.
• Have we ever denied a Residential Occupancy Permit to an owner who abuses the
system? Seldom – it is not done lightly because you could be putting people out on the
street.
Kennedy:
• This is City-wide data so doesn’t indicate what is happening in certain neighborhoods.
Census data will provide that level of detail.
• Can we encourage the development of large apartment complexes without all the luxury
amenities to keep rents low?
Kabir:
• Supports lowering the 5-unrelated maximum.
• Supports staff recommendation to relax eligibility criteria for City’s homeownership
grant program.
• Rental property information on our website is outdated
• County’s Nuisance Abatement Ordinance – have we been using it to the fullest extent?
Put information on the City website.
• We should support affordable student housing closer to campus – perhaps a tax
incentive? The UMD should contribute to this goal.
Day:
• Resume “Knock and Talks” with the large group like we used to do.
• Educate ourselves better about frat house programs to monitor alcohol abuse.
• Address long term owners who are leaving their home and are paid a premium by an
investor – how can we counteract that?
• Calculate number of driveway spaces at a rental home and subtract that from the number
of street permits they can receive.
• How can we counteract the renters who hide the extra tenants because they know that the
inspectors are coming? Surveillance? Unexpected inspections?
• Investors can beat people to the table every time – how can we slow that process down so
that an owner occupant has the opportunity to put an offer together.
• Bring back the conversation of Rent Stabilization.
Mackie:
• We need to be mindful of our infrastructure to take care of our residents.
• How can we help Code Enforcement address shabby rental housing?
College Park Worksession Minutes
September 21, 2021
Page 4
• Can we require landlords to pay a maintenance fee for lawn maintenance so that it is not
left to the renters?
Sevalia:
• Some of these proposals may make it harder for students to find housing. Consider
international students.
• Housing occupancy percentages in apartment buildings v. single family homes?
• Some students are willing to break occupancy limit because it is their only affordable
option; we need to address the cause, not just the problem.
• Is the current student housing need being met? Not just the number of beds, but are they
affordable?
• Increased supply is not driving rents down; rents are not lower in the newer housing stock
2. Mr. Olson, CPCUP:
A. Community Preservation Trust/Housing Trust:
• CPCUP or a spinoff organization would buy the house/land. The land stays with the
nonprofit so the purchase price is just for the house, making it more affordable.
• Find out about the homes before they hit the market
• A housing trust can also build housing on vacant land
B. Current homeownership program that offers $15,000 down payment.
• 74 houses have been purchased with this program.
3. Ms. Schum reviewed the outline for strategies around affordable housing/workforce housing:
Wojahn:
• Compile the strategies in a matrix to identify City, County, Legislation, etc. and what we
need to do to make them happen.
• Should we consider an affordable housing strategic plan, like Hyattsville did, and could
they look at affordable student housing.
Dennis:
• Request for more information about the AARP Age Friendly grant.
• Discussions in the Restorative Justice Steering Committee about a land trust concept.
Rigg:
• Made the case for action because we are losing our neighborhoods as we speak. Avoid
analysis paralysis and move forward where we can.
[10:30 Motion to extend the meeting, Kennedy/Rigg, 8-0.]
Requests for/Status of Future Agenda Items

WORKSESSION AGENDA ITEM
Prepared By: Robert W. Ryan, Meeting Date: 09/21/2021
Public Services Director
Terry Schum, Planning Director
Presented By: Bill Gardiner Consent: N/A
Interim City Manager
Robert W. Ryan
Terry Schum
Originating Department: Public Services Department
Issue Before Council:
1. The City Council has requested that staff facilitate a discussion of the causes and possible actions that
could stabilize neighborhoods trending toward higher percentages of single-family rental housing and lower
percentages of single-family owner-occupied housing.
2. Council requested an opportunity to discuss affordable housing challenges in College Park and policies the
City could support or advocate that would increase the supply of affordable housing.
Strategic Plan Objective: #8: Foster and sustain an affordable and stable City for individuals and families
to live, work, play and retire here.
Background/Justification:
1. Many single-family neighborhoods in College Park have had comparatively high percentages of
detached rental houses, particularly for local university students. Single-family houses are attractive
for student rentals due to the affordability and less restrictive environment compared to apartment
buildings and on-campus dorms. Property owners of detached housing can generally obtain more
total rent from four or five renters than they could obtain from a typical family.
Despite the addition of new apartment units off-campus and new dorms on-campus, the number of
for-rent detached single-family homes has generally remained constant. In some neighborhoods
anecdotal evidence indicates that previously owner-occupied housing is being purchased by
investors to offer for rent, and that investors are out-bidding potential owner-occupants. The City
Council and staff often receive complaints about noise and other disruptive issues with rental houses
that code enforcement, contract police, and University police deal with on a regular basis.
2. The City Council has often asked about affordable housing units when evaluating residential
development proposals, and the Council hears from students and other groups about the cost of
rental housing in the City. This discussion will provide an opportunity for Council to review general
definitions of affordable housing, some data regarding housing and affordability in College Park and
the region, and various strategies that could be used by the City, County, State, the Partnership, and
the University to support housing affordability and also preserve homeownership.
Staff have prepared the attached discussion outline to provide discussion ideas and options for further
action. An outline for the neighborhood stabilization discussion will be provided prior to the meeting.
005
Fiscal Impact:
None at this time. Certain strategies could have a significant cost to the City.
Council Options:
1. Discuss the neighborhood preservation and affordable housing issues and strategies and provide
direction to staff to fully develop proposals for certain strategies.
2. Reconvene a committee to focus narrowly on preservation of owner-occupied housing and
development of affordable housing.
3. Request professional assistance to development strategies to address these issues.
4. Take no additional action.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff will take direction from the Mayor and Council.
Recommended Motion:

AFFORDABLE HOUSING
Definition: Affordable housing is a generic term that refers to the degree to which residents can afford
to rent or buy housing. It typically refers to housing targeted to lower income households (earning less
than 80% of area median income, very low income households (earning less than 50% of area medium
income, and extremely low income households (earning less than 30% of area medium income), and to
housing that costs no more than 30% of household income.
Workforce housing is another term used to refer to housing that is affordable to those in the workforce,
but who still cannot afford market rentals and homes. Such workers may include fire and police
personnel and schoolteachers.
