These conditions are proffered as a part of the requested rezoning and the Owner acknowledges that the conditions are reasonable. 1. Affordable Housing A. 15% Affordable Requirement. The Owner shall provide affordable dwelling units equal to at least fifteen percent (15 %) of the total dwelling units constructed within the Project in the form of for -sale or for -lease as described in this paragraph 1 ( "Affordable Dwelling Units" or "Affordable Units). (i.) Each subdivision plat and site plan for land within the Project shall designate the lots or units, as applicable, that will, subject to the terms and conditions of this Paragraph 1, be built as Affordable Dwelling Units, and the aggregate number of such lots or units so designated within each subdivision plat and site plan shall constitute a minimum of fifteen percent (15 %) of the lots or units in such subdivision plat or site plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Owner may "carry- over" or "bank" credits for Affordable Units in the event previously built buildings within the Project provided more than 15% Affordable Units, or in the event the Owner has paid the Affordable Housing Cash Proffer for an equivalent number of units ( "Affordable Credits "). Any such additional Affordable Credits shall be allocated toward the fifteen percent (15 %) minimum for the buildings that remain to be built within the Project. B. For -Sale Affordable Units The for -sale Affordable Dwelling Units shall be affordable to households with incomes less than eighty percent (80 %) of the area median family income ( the "Affordable Unit Qualifying Income "), such that the housing costs consisting of principal, interest, real estate taxes, and homeowner's insurance (PITI) do not exceed thirty percent (30 %) of the Affordable Unit Qualifying Income, provided, however, that in no event shall the selling price of such affordable units be required to be less than sixty -five percent (65 %) of the applicable Virginia Housing Development Authority (VHDA) maximum mortgage for first -time home buyers. The Owner or his successors in interest may Proffer Form ZMA # 06 -08 Berkmar Business Park Tax Map and Parcel Number(s): 45-112,45-112E and a portion of 45 -112G at its option facilitate the provision of down payment assistance loans to reduce the out -of- pocket cash requirement costs to the homebuyer, such as, but not limited to a deferred mortgage that is junior to other primary financing to reduce the costs to the homebuyer, so that the resultant first mortgage and housing costs remain at or below the parameters described above. All financial programs or instruments described herein must be acceptable to the primary mortgage lender. Any deferred mortgage executed as part of the affordable housing proffer shall be donated to the County of Albemarle (hereinafter, the "County ") or its designee to be used to address affordable housing. Each dwelling unit qualifying under these parameters counts as one (1) affordable unit. C. For -Lease Affordable Dwelling Units. (i.) The initial net rent for each for -lease Affordable Unit shall not exceed the then - current and applicable maximum net rent as published by the County Housing Office. In each subsequent calendar year, the monthly net rent for each for -rent Affordable Unit may be increased up to three percent (3%). For purposes of this proffer statement, the term "net rent" means that the rent does not include tenant -paid utilities. The requirement that the rents for such for - lease Affordable Units may not exceed the maximum rents established in this Paragraph 1C shall apply for a period of ten (10) years following the date the certificate of occupancy is issued by the County for each for -lease Affordable Unit, or until the units are sold as affordable units as defined by the County's Affordable Housing Policy, whichever comes first (the "Affordable Term "). (ii.) Conveyance of Interest - All instruments conveying any interest in the for - lease Affordable Dwelling Units during the Affordable Term shall contain language reciting that such unit is subject to the terms of this Paragraph 1(C). In addition, all contracts pertaining to a conveyance of any for -lease 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 Paragraph 1(C). Prior to the conveyance of any interest in any for -lease 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 Paragraph 1(C)(ii) have been satisfied. (iii.)Reporting Rental Rates. During the Affordable Term, within thirty (30) days of each rental or lease term for each for -rent Affordable Unit, the then - current owner shall provide to the Albemarle County 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 then - current owner 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. Proffer Form ZMA # 06 -08 Berkmar Business Park Tax Map and Parcel Number(s): 45-112,45-112E and a portion of 45 -112G D. Notification Period; County Cash Option. (i.) Notification Period. All purchasers of the Affordable Dwelling Units shall be approved by the Albemarle County Office of Housing or its designee. The then - current owner/builder shall provide the County or its designee a period of ninety (90) days to identify and pre - qualify an eligible purchaser for the Affordable Unit(s). The ninety (90) day period shall commence upon written notice from the then - current owner/builder that the Unit(s) is within one hundred twenty (120) days of completion and, that on or before the end of such one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be ready for occupancy. If the County or its designee does not provide a qualified purchaser who executes a contract of purchase during this ninety (90) day period, the then - current owner/builder shall have the right to sell or lease the Unit(s) without any restriction on sales or lease price or income of the purchaser(s), provided, however, that any Unit(s) sold or leased without such restriction shall nevertheless be counted toward the number of Affordable Units required to be provided pursuant to the terms of this proffer. The requirements of this proffer shall apply only to the first sale of each of the Affordable Dwelling Units that are purchased. Nothing herein shall preclude the then - current owner/builder from working with the County Housing Department prior to the start of the notification periods described herein in an effort to identify qualifying purchasers for the Affordable Units. (ii.)CountyOption for Cash In Lieu of Affordable Units. If at any time prior to the County's approval of any preliminary site plan or subdivision plat for the Property which includes one or more for -sale Affordable Dwelling Units, the Housing Office informs the then - current owner/builder in writing that it may not have a qualified purchaser for one or more of the for -sale Affordable Dwelling Units at the time that the then - current owner/builder expects the units to be completed and that the Housing Office will instead accept a cash contribution to the County to support affordable housing programs in the amount of Nineteen Thousand One Hundred Dollars ($19,100) in lieu of each affordable unit(s), then the then - current owner/builder shall pay such cash contribution to the County prior to obtaining a certificate of occupancy for the unit(s) that were originally planned to be Affordable Dwelling Units, and the then - current owner/builder shall have the right to sell the Unit(s) without any restriction on sales price or income of the purchaser(s). For the purposes of this proffer, such Affordable Dwelling Units shall be deemed to have been provided when the subsequent owner/builder provides written notice to the Albemarle County Office of Housing or its designee that the Affordable Unit(s) will be available for sale. (iii.)Inspections. The County shall have the right, upon reasonable notice and subject to all applicable privacy laws, to periodically inspect the records of the Owner or any successors in interest for the purposes of assuring compliance with this Paragraph 1.

The cash contribution shall be paid prior to issuance of a building permit for each unit in the following amounts: A. $12,100 for each attached townhouse other than affordable dwelling units (Market Rate Unit ") and B. $12,600 for each multifamily apartment or condominium unit other than a Market Rate Unit. 3.Annual Adjustment of Cash Proffers.
