At the proposed time of construction of any Affordable Dwelling Unit, the Owner shall provide the Community Development Department a period of one hundred eighty (180) days to idenfify and approve an eligible purchaser for such affordable unit. The 180-day qualification period shall commence upon written notice from the Owner to the Community Development Department of the approximate date the Unit is expected to receive a certificate of occupancy from the County (the "Notice").

In each subsequent calendar year, the monthly net rent for each For -Rent Affordable Dwelling Unit may be increased up to three percent (3%).

The requirement that the rents for such For -Rent Affordable Dwelling 2 Units may not exceed the maximum rents established in this paragraph I 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 Virginia Housing Development Authority, Farmers Home Administration, or Housing and Urban Development, Section 8, whichever comes first (the "Affordable Term").
