3. AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT (ARPA) FEE CREDIT OPTIONS, SUE BECK-
FERKISS, SSD (20 MINUTES)
Quick History on Fee Credits: Historically, the City has provided financial subsidy and
forgone certain development fees to incentivize the development of affordable housing.
Fee waivers have been one of the consistent incentives available to developers of
affordable housing in the City. In fact, before 2013, most development fees for
affordable housing were traditionally waived, especially for the Fort Collins Housing
Authority.
In March of 2013 after a large fee waiver was granted to a project that was being
developed primarily by CARE Housing with the Housing Authority having only a small
interest, City Council amended its policies on fee waivers for affordable housing to allow
more discretion in determining the kinds of projects for which City fees should be
waived. This greatly limited the instances where fee waivers were provided. This
change limited waiver eligibility to only the housing authority and then only for projects
constructed for:
• Persons experiencing homelessness (PEH); or
• Disabled persons; or
• Households whose income is no greater than 30% of the area median
income (AMI) of all City residents.
Furthermore, waivers of only certain fees (City Development Review Fees, Building
Permit Fees, and City Capital Expansion Fees) were to be granted at the discretion of
Council upon a determination that the proposed waiver will not jeopardize the financial
interests of the City or the timely construction of the capital improvements to be funded
by the fees for which waiver is sought. In 2017, City Council expanded the availability of
this limited incentive to all developers of units targeting the above referenced
demographics. Lastly, the City had a practice of requiring some department fees to be
reimbursed with General Fund Reserves or funds from the Affordable Housing Capital
Fund.
Because the original process of calculating the sum of eligible fees and prorating the
percentage of eligible units to determine the exact amount of each fee waiver request
was labor intensive and administratively difficult, in 2020 Council established flat fee
credits that replace the prior fee waivers available for units targeting the same
demographics. These are set at $14,000 for new construction and $5,500 for adaptive
reuse where some original fees will be credited to the project. These discretionary fee
credits still required the requisite findings from City Council for each request. In 2022,
the policy was further amended to allow the administrative processing without City
Council action for fee credits for qualifying units when funding had been appropriated for
such purpose.
ARPA Funding:
In 2022, a Budget Offer was funded with America Rescue Plan Act funding (ARPA) for
$350,000 for fee credits for qualifying units. Since then, staff has administratively
processed and approved requests for 17 units of new construction at 3 affordable
3
housing communities (Northfield Commons, Village on Impala, and Heartside Hill). This
has invested $238,000 of the total available leaving $112,000 available. That amount
could support 8 units of new construction with fee credits.
ARPA may be used for affordable housing projects if the developments increase the
supply of long-term affordable housing. Moreover, the development of units serving a
maximum of 65% AMI, if legally restricted for at least 20 years, are a Presumptively
Eligible Use of ARPA.
At the City, ARPA funding must be committed by 2024 and fully spent by 2026. The
recovery team has asked whether the remaining balance could be used for fee credits
by the end of 2024. If not, they would like to redirect these funds so they can be timely
deployed.
I have surveyed the affordable housing providers in the City and they do not forecast
having qualified units (30% AMI, disabled or PEH) ready to apply for fee credits in 2024.
It is very hard to offer rents to serve 30% AMI households under current condition s –
rising costs of labor and construction materials and higher interest rates. It is not much
easier to develop rentals affordable to the 40% AMI target either. Higher rents can cover
development and operating costs while lower-rents are best subsidized on the front end
to allow the rents to go to on-going operations. For instance, under the new 2023
Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA) Rent tables, a one-bedroom would as
rent as follows:
• 30% AMI = $639
• 40% AMI = $852
• 60% AMI = $1,278
While Heartside Hill Apartments received fee credits for the 30% AMI units they are
developing, they have 8 40% that could be supported by fee credits. The timing allows
for an infusion of funds and the project has had an unanticipated unrelated cost as the
master developer of the Heartside Hill overall project, which includes Heartside Hill
Apartments, Habitat for Humanity homes and L’Arche group homes. Th e project needs
to underground electric lines which will cost $200,000. Providing additional fee credits
helps to close this funding gap.
While a permissible use of ARPA funds, awarding the fee credits to units that do not
serve the codified targets could not be provided administratively, but could be provided
with City Council approval. This would allow the remaining funds to be used for fee
credits in the allowable ARPA timeline and not redeployed to another City program.
Staff plans to bring a BFO offer for the 2025-2026 budget to replenish the fund for
administrative fee credits. If a developer seeks fee credits for eligible units in 2024, the
request will require City Council approval and could not be provided administratively.
4
Question for consideration: Does the Board support seeking Council approval to provide
additional fee credits to CARE Housing for the 40% units in the Heartside Hill
Apartments development?

5. NEW BUSINESS
A. Sustainable Funding – Ginny Sawyer, City Manager’s Office
• Ginny Sawyer from the City Manager’s Office presented regarding Sustainable Funding.
The presentation offered insight into the different components of sustainable funding,
including but not limited to sources of city revenue, sales tax comparison to other
Colorado cities, revenue uses, and potential funding options. The overall goal of the
project is to secure additional funds to cover gaps identified through the City’s Master
Plans. In June, the team will go to Council and ask if they would like to put any tax
initiatives on the November ballot, and if so, what they would be. Several board
members followed up with clarifying questions.
• The Board invited Ginny to attend the Affordable Housing Board meeting in July to
discuss this topic further.
B. 2023 Private Activity Bond Capacity Requests – Sue Beck-Ferkiss, Social Sustainability
• Sue Beck-Ferkiss gave the Board a brief overview of Private Activity Bonds and what
they can be used for. One of the eligible purposes is the construction and rehabilitation
of affordable housing, which is a priority use of the bond capacity at the City. Private
Activity Bonds are needed for 4% of low-income housing tax credits, which is a tool
most developers are using to build affordable rentals.
• The City of Fort Collins has a Private Activity Bond Committee that considers annual
bond requests. This year, there were three total requests asking for double the amount
of bond available. Two of these requests were from local organizations CARE Housing
and Housing Catalyst, while the third request was from Steele Properties in Aurora,
Colorado. Sue explained that PAB capacity can be used anywhere in the state.
• Sue informed the Board that the PAB committee is recommending funding for CARE
Housing and Housing Catalyst, but not Steele Properties. This decision was made
because the committee wants to prioritize local projects. Sue invited the Board to ask
questions, and to make a recommendation to support, not support, or alter the
recommendation of the Private Activity Bond Committee.
• The Board asked how local organizations collaborate on splitting bond. Kristin Fritz
explained that they strategize with organizations doing development in Northern
Colorado to see what needs exist and who has the most immediate need for funding.
Ideally, each organization will receive the bond they need, but some years the need
may be greater than the amount of bond available.
• The Board asked if there were restrictions on who can apply for bond. Sue Beck-Ferkiss
explained that anyone can apply, but not everyone can issue, so the applying
organization needs to be working with an issuer.
• The Board asked if companies or investors were purchasing the bonds, or if they were
federally allocated. Kristin Fritz explained that the bonds can be publicly sold or placed
directly, but since they are specifically a tax-exempt bond, the amount available is
AFFORDABLE HOUSING BOARD
REGULAR MEETING
0 5 /04 /2023 – M I N U TE S Page 3
limited by the Federal Government.
• John Singleton invited Bob Pawlikowski and Kristin Fritz to speak to the Board and
share their knowledge of Private Activity Bonds at a later date.
Stefanie Berganini motioned to support the Private Activity Bond Committee’s funding
recommendation. Jennifer Bray seconded. Approved 4-0.
Bob Pawlikowski and Kristin Fritz abstained.
C. Update on Land Use Code – Meaghan Overton, Social Sustainability
• Meaghan Overton provided the Board with Land Use Code updates including a Council
Work Session presentation, a virtual information session, a workshop with the Center
for Public Deliberation, Walking Tours that will occur throughout May, and a Land Use
Code Open House that will occur on May 8.
• The Board asked if there would be more walking tours held in June. Meaghan explained
that if there is demand for them, there may be more added. She added that they want to
prioritize hearing from folks they haven’t heard from based on the time of day the tours
are held, language barriers, etc. if more tours are added in June.
