Re: [LincolnTalk] the Rural Land Foundation and the Housing Choice Act

It seems like the town meeting process worked quite well in the Oriole Landing scenario. The town was able to get 25% affordable housing, and gauging by the fact that Civico sold the development at a potential $12M profit in only 4 years, the developer did quite well. It is still not clear to me

Allen, Your math is also flawed. $1,000,000 divided by 60 is not $13,333… it’s $16,667 My point is if we rezone areas like the mall under the traditional rezoning process, they will be required to have 15% affordable housing already. No money will need to be spent from our limited Affordable

One must remember that if a development has 25% or greater apartments that are "Affordable", then the entire community counts towards the SHI.  So, by moving Oriole Landing from 9 (15%) to 15 (25%) affordable units, we increased the official SHI in Lincoln by 60 units - at a cost of roughly

The stated numbers in earlier messages in this thread suggest that Civico earned about $8-$12 million in profits from Oriole Landing. If true, it still does not necessarily imply that we were ripped off as a town. It might have been that we needed to provide the $1 million forgivable loan to make
