AFFORDABLE HOUSING
15% of the total residential dwelling units built
within areas designated for residential use within
the project shall be Affordable Dwelling Units (the
"15% Affordable Housing Requirement"). The
15% Affordable Housing Requirement may be met
through a variety of housing types, including but
not limited to, for -sale units or rental units.
For -Sale Affordable Dwelling Units: All
purchasers of the affordable units shall be approved
by the Albemarle County Community Development
Department or its designee ("Community
Development"). A for -sale Affordable Dwelling
Unit shall mean any unit affordable to households
with income less than eighty percent (80%) of the
area median income (as determined by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) from time to time) such that housing costs
consisting of principal, interest, real estate taxes and
homeowners insurance (PITI) do not exceed thirty
percent (30%) of the gross household income. The
Applicant or its successor shall provide the County
or its designee a period of ninety (90) days to
identify and prequalify an eligible purchaser for the
for -sale Affordable Dwelling Units. The ninety (90)
day period shall commence upon written notice
from the Applicant, or its successor, that the unit(s)
will be available for sale. This notice shall not be
given more than sixty (60) days prior to receipt
of the Certificate of Occupancy for the applicable
for -sale Affordable Dwelling Unit; the County or
its designee may then have thirty (30) days within
which to provide a qualified purchaser for such for -
sale Affordable Dwelling Unit. If the County or its
designee does not provide a qualified purchaser
SHIMP ENGINEERING, P.C.
WHITE GATE VILLAGE
A NEIGHBORHOOD MODEL DISTRICT
ZMA2020-00XX I Code of Development
during the ninety (90) day period, the Applicant or
its successor shall have the right to sell the unit(s)
without any restriction on sales price or income of
the purchaser(s). This shall apply only to the first
sale of each of the for -sale Affordable Dwelling
Units.
For -Rent Affordable Dwelling Units:
1.) RENTAL RATES: The net rent for each rental
housing unit which shall qualify as an Affordable
Dwelling Unit ("For -Rent Affordable Dwelling
Unit") shall not exceed HUD's affordability
standard of thirty percent (30%) of the income of
a household making eighty percent (80%) of the
area median income (as determined by HUD from
time to time). In each subsequent calendar year,
the monthly net rent for each For -Rent Affordable
Dwelling Unit maybe increased up to three percent
(3%). The term "net rent" means that the rent does
not include tenant -paid utilities or Homeowners
Association fees. The requirement that the rents
for such For -Rent Affordable Dwelling Units may
not exceed the maximum rents established in this
Section shall apply for a period of ten (10) years
following the date the certificate of occupancy is
issued by the County for each For -Rent Affordable
Dwelling Unit, or until the units are sold as low
or moderate cost units qualifying as such under
either the VHDA, Farmers Home Administration,
or Housing and Urban Development, Section 8,
whichever comes first (the "Affordable Term").
2.) CONVEYANCE OF INTEREST: All deeds
conveying any interest in the For -Rent Affordable
Dwelling Units during the Affordable Term Submitted 21 September 2020
shall contain language reciting that such unit is
ZMA2020-14 COD 111
subject to the terms of this Section. In addition,
all contracts pertaining to a conveyance of any
For -Rent Affordable Dwelling Unit, or any part
thereof, during the Affordable Term shall contain a
complete and full disclosure of the restrictions and
controls established by this Section. At least thirty
(30) days prior to the conveyance of any interest
in any For -Rent Affordable Dwelling Unit during
the Affordable Term, the then -current Owner shall
notify the County in writing of the conveyance and
provide the name, address and telephone number of
the potential grantee, and state that the requirements
of this Section have been satisfied.
3.) REPORTING RENTAL RATES: During the
Affordable Term, within thirty (30) days of each
rental or lease term for each For -Rent Affordable
Dwelling Unit, the Applicant or its successor shall
provide to the Housing Office a copy of the rental
or lease agreement for each such unit rented that
shows the rental rate for such unit and the term of
the rental or lease agreement. In addition, during
the Affordable Term, the Applicant or its successor
shall provide to the County, if requested, any
reports, copies of rental or lease agreements, or
other data pertaining to rental rates as the County
may reasonably require.
Tracking: Each subdivision plat and site plan for
land within the Property shall designate lots or units,
as applicable, that will satisfy the 15% Affordable
Housing Requirement. Such subdivision plat(s)
or site plan(s) shall not be required to identify the
method by which the 15% Affordable Housing
Requirement will be satisfied. The aggregate number
of such lots or units designated for affordable units

WHITE GATE VILLAGE
A NEIGHBORHOOD MODEL DISTRICT

within each subdivision plat or site plan shall
constitute a minimum of fifteen percent (15%) of
the lots or units in such subdivision plat or site plan,
unless such subdivision plat or site plan does not
contain any residential uses. The Applicant, at the
Applicant's option, may accelerate the provision
of affordable units ahead of the 15% Affordable
Housing Requirement and shall be entitled to
receive credit on future subdivision plat(s) or site
plan(s) for any such units provided beyond the 15%
Affordable Housing Requirement.
