SUBMITTED BY: John Sullivan, Fire Chief Page 18 of 44 City of Georgetown, Texas City Council Workshop November 28, 2017 SUBJECT: P resentation and discussio n on the resolution request fro m Pedcor Investments for the application of 4% Housing Tax Credits for the co nstruction of 192 units to be kno wn as Residences at Stillwater, located at approximately the 1500 block of NE Inner Lo op - Susan Watkins, AICP, Housing Coo rdinator and Sofia Ne lson, CNU-A, Planning Director ITEM SUMMARY: In 2016, City Council adopted a Low Inco me Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) review process for resolution requests which includes two application type s for the 4% and 9% HTC pro grams. The Te xas Department of Housing and Community Affairs allocates housing tax credits under a 4% and 9 % program, each with diffe re nt funding so urc e s and application requirements. The 4 % HTC is a non-co mpetitive program that uses tax-exempt bo nds as a component o f proje c t financing. The 9% HTC application cycle is an annual co mpetitive proc e ss. Rules for the 9% HTC program are outlined in the Qualified Application P lan (QAP ). The state appro ves the QAP e ach fall and awards are generally allocated the following July. 9% HTC program A resolution stating the City’s position of either “support or no objection” must be o btained from the city and/or co unty where the project is lo c ate d and submitted with the 9% HTC application by March 1 st of the program year. The City of Georgetown Request for Re so lutio n application has dates that must be updated each year in response to the State ’s timeline for the c ompetitive 9% HTC application c yc le. 4% HTC program Applications for 4 % HTCs require a “Resolution of No Objection” from the city and/or co unty where the project is located. Applications for the 4% HTC program can be submitted to TDHCA throughout the year. As part o f the 2016 Wo rk P lan, the Housing Advisory Bo ard updated the City of Georgetown Housing Tax Credit (HTC) resolution review process. On Se ptember 27 , 20 16 , City Council approved a HTC review process that requires applic ants requesting a resolution to conduct public o utreach to the surro unding neighbo rhoo ds, undergo zoning review, me e t specific deadlines and pro vide data regarding the current tax credit inventory. P lanning staff has revie wed the original process adopted in 2016 and has updated process timelines for the new cale ndar year. In support of the direction Council issued whe n reviewing applicatio ns for the 2016 cycle, staff has added an explicit date for a workshop with Council fo r a concurrent review of all applications. The general reso lution request submittal and review process includes: December 1, 2 01 7 Rezo ning Application Due (if necessary) January 2, 2018 HTC Resolution Applications Due January 22, 2018 Housing Advisory Board Me e ting January 23, 2018 Hold P ublic Meetings January 23, 2018 Co uncil Workshop February 13, 201 8 City Council Meeting March 1, 2018 TDHCA Application Due Twice the State Average Per Capita To submit an applic atio n for Ho using Tax Credits, the develo per must obtain a Reso lution from George to wn acknowledging that the city has more than two times the state ave rage per capita amount of Housing Tax Credit units.

The bill requires landowner or voter approval o f annexatio ns in the state ’s largest counties (those with 500,0 00 population o r more) and in c ounties that opt-in to the bill through a petition and ele c tion process. Cities not subject to S.B. 6 (i.e., those in counties with a population of less than 500 ,00 0 that are no t annexing into such a county and those in a county that has not held an election to be c ome subject to the bill) may continue to annex under laws not affected by S.B. 6. Based on the 20 10 census and for the purposes of SB6 Williamson County has a po pulation of less than 5 00 ,00 0. However it is expected that at the time of the 20 20 census Williamson Co unty will exceed a populatio n of 50 0,000 and therefore require landowner or vote r approval of annexations. Counci l strateg y In 2016 and 201 7 the Co uncil identified a goal o f e stablishing an annexation strate gy. Purpose of P rese ntati o n On November 14th City Counc il received a presentation o n SB6 and the new state requirements regarding involuntary annexation.The purpose of this worksho p item is to follo w up on the disc ussio n that took plac e o n November 14th and present to City Co uncil state law requirements for extending utilities to areas identifie d for co nsideration.
