The Village of Los Lunas is seeking to enter into a MOA with ABQ Angel LLC, an affordable housing developer, to provide terms for the pre-development phase of an affordable housing project in order to allow the develoo9per to apply for financing. Overview of efforts to date: TOD zoning to encourage multi-family development, Los Lunas/Valencia County affordable housing plan, metropolitan redevelopment area, approved Transportation Center master plan. Complications of site: road, water, ewer infrastructure needs to be connected through site. Large drainage pond poorly located for new development. Village has needs for drainage and other infrastructure beyond those of a new affordable housing development; staff input required for successful development. Council approved a budget for our Public Works Director, Michael Jaramillo, to build the road connection from Helen Circle to Los Lentes and establish the water/sewer infrastructure in that road. They have a qualified grantee, affordable housing developer, ABQ Angel LLC. ABQ Angel LLC formed to develop affordable housing with an experience team: CC Housing Inc., as non-profit partner to manage long term affordability; Dekker Parich Sabatini; Isaacson & Aftman; and HART Construction. Sheldon is still compiling other members of his team. Already verified as qualified grantee. Pursuing other fund sources besides highly competitive 9% low income housing tax credit. Open to collaborative process while Village work through infrastructure development in order to achieve best outcome for both parties. The MOA before Council tonight has been through the review of our legal counsel. Developer can’t apply for funds without commitment that project can move forward if funds should be awarded. MOA intended to protect both parties’ interests during pre-development phase. Mr. Sheldon Jordan gave a brief presentation of the project. The family portion will be about 120 units and the senior development will be about 48 units – 4-story building with elevator. Mayor Pro-Tem Munoz asked Council if they had any questions.
