In order to fulfill the
intent of the Board of Supervisors to promote the development of
affordable housing, it is proposed that the partnership with
Fauquier Habitat for Humanity and Fauquier Housing Corporation,
that developed the Botha housing units, be continued.
It is suggested that surplus County property be evaluated
for the potential development for affordable housing.
In concert with
representatives of the two non-profit agencies, a number of County
owned parcels in the Scott and Cedar Run Districts have been
reviewed. A
nineteen-acre parcel located on
Green Road
has been identified for further evaluation.
As a part of this
process, it is suggested that the following guidelines be
utilized.
- Any land transferred to an affordable
housing provider may not be used as collateral for a loan.
- Any land transferred to an affordable
housing provider may not be sold except as improved affordable
housing to participants within your respective program.
- Only on parcel of land could be
transferred to an affordable housing provider, be built out,
and sold to a qualified recipient(s), before other land could
be transferred.
- The affordable housing providers ill be
granted authority by the County to perform such soil analysis
and other environmental testing as is required for sanitary
and other considerations prior to any transfer taking place.
- The suitability of any specific site
will be by mutual agreement between the County and the
affordable housing provider, and be in concert with all
ordinances applicable to the site.
