Items Relating to the Purchase and Sale Agreement for City Owned Land at 3620 Kechter Road.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A.First Reading of Ordinance No. 137, 2021, Declaring Certain City-Owned Property at 3620 Kechter Road
as Road Right-of-Way.
B.First Reading of Ordinance No. 138, 2021, Authorizing the Conveyance of City-Owned Property at 3620
Kechter Road to Kechter TWG, LLLP.
The purpose of these two ordinances is to dedicate as right-of-way a two-foot strip of land on a parcel of City
property at 3620 Kechter Road that is already being used for a public sidewalk, and to authorize conveyance of
the 5-acre parcel to Kechter TWG, LLLP (TWG). The City purchased this property in 2002 as part of the
Affordable Housing Land Bank program. Since its purchase, the City has leased this 5-acre property for
residential/horse uses. This sale will result in the development of 54 permanently affordable for-sale townhomes.
This project furthers Council’s long stated priorities for affordable and achievable housing. The Council Finance
Committee heard this item at their March 2021 meeting and indicated support for the sale of this property for
$25,000.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of both Ordinances on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Land Bank Program
The Land Bank Program is the City’s only long-term affordable housing development incentive. Most incentives
are tied to specific projects, but this program aims to set aside land for future affordable housing developments.
The program was created in 2001 to enable the City to acquire, hold and sell real property to assist housing
providers in providing permanently affordable rental and homeownership housing. Acquiring and holding
property through the Land Bank locks in land values at current prices with an expectation of appreciation over
time. When a Land Bank property is ready for development, the appreciation of the property’s value from the
time of purchase allows the City to sell the land for less than fair market value. This “discounted” sale price
functions as a subsidy for affordable housing developments that would otherwise pay market prices for land.
The Land Bank also preserves locations for the future to ensure that affordable housing will be well distributed
throughout the City. City Code requires the proceeds of the sale of land bank parcels to be used to buy more
land for future affordable housing development. There is no minimum sales price required, however, City Code
does set a maximum sales price of 90% of fair market value for Land Bank parcels.
The Land Bank Program has purchased a total of six properties since its creation in 2001. One land bank parcel

Agenda Item 11
Item # 11 Page 2
has been sold to date. In 2016, the Horsetooth parcel was sold to Housing Catalyst and has since been
developed into 96 affordable rental apartments. The Land Bank currently holds five parcels, including 3620
Kechter. (Attachments 1 and 2)
In 2017, following the successful deployment of the Horsetooth parcel, Council established a priority to issue a
Request for Proposals (RFP) for a home ownership development project on another Land Bank parcel. Staff
determined the Kechter parcel to be appropriate for home ownership and had it appraised, conducted a historic
review and compiled file documents that would be relevant to the sale process. Staff proceeded to issue an RFP
in 2018 for the sale of the Kechter parcel. Only one response was received, so a second RFP was issued in
2019. Three responses were received. TWG, a for-profit developer out of Indiana, was selected. The City entered
into an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement for the Kechter Townhomes project in 2019. The project is mostly
through the development review process and a Hearing Officer approved the project in March 2021.
To support the successful deployment of the Kechter parcel, a development partnership was created consisting
of:
Housing Catalyst (HC) - Provides local technical assistance and tax abatement
Elevations Community Land Trust (ECLT) - A community land trust partner and eventual owner of the
developed property
TWG - The developer and builder of the townhome community
The City of Fort Collins - The seller of the land
Financial feasibility of Kechter Townhomes
The partners worked together to determine project feasibility. It was quickly determined that a substantial subsidy
would be required to build and offer townhomes at affordable sales prices - in the range of $257,000 to $285,000
depending on size. Beyond the subsidy pledged by ECLT and tax abatement provided by HC, the parties
determined that additional subsidy would be required to meet the goal of affordable ownership in perpetuity. The
City would need to donate most of the value of the land ($1,175,000) and the Colorado Division of Housing
approved additional subsidy for the project. Therefore, staff is recommending a sale price of $25,000 for this
land.
Both the Division of Housing and ECLT are providing more than their typical subsidy because this project will
deliver permanently affordable home ownership units. Habitat for Humanity has been the primary developer of
affordable home ownership product in Fort Collins and the City has provided between $40,000 and $74,500 in
cash subsidy per unit for those homes. For Kechter Townhomes, the City’s contribution is only the value of the
land and equates to $21,759 per unit. These townhomes will also be affordable in perpetuity through the land
trust coupled with covenants and deed restrictions, whereas a typical deed restricted unit is restricted for 20
Agenda Item 11

years. Kechter Townhomes will be the City’s first permanently affordable home ownership project.

Upon construction of the development, TWG will sell the property, including the finished homes, to ECLT which
will retain the land, sell the homes to qualified buyers with a 99-year land lease, provide subsidy and steward
this affordable housing community in perpetuity. The City will be selling the land, but because this community
will be permanently affordable with the land held by ECLT, the land remains a community asset even after the
sale.
Permanent Affordability
The City Code requires that any sale of a land bank parcel to a housing provider be made subject to a deed
restriction, covenant, or other instrument that will run with the title to the property and: 1) obligate the housing
provider to begin developing all housing within 24 months of acquiring the land, and to obtain building permits
within 48 months; and 2) limit the use of the property to affordable housing.
The partners, staff and the City Attorney’s Office have prepared important legal documents related to the title to
this parcel including a completed Purchase and Sale Agreement (Agreement), a copy of which is attached as
Exhibit B to the Ordinance, and a draft Covenant and Promissory Note and Deed of Trust. (The Agreement was
made contingent on Council adoption. If Council decides not to authorize the sale of the property, the Agreement
would be terminated.)
Specific terms of the Agreement pertinent to this project, including those that refer to the Covenant and Deed of
Trust that will let the City enforce long-term affordability requirements, are as follows:
1. The purchase price of the property is $25,000.
2. The use of the property will be limited by a Covenant requiring the following:
a. Use of the property shall be restricted to for-sale housing for households at or below 80% AMI for Fort
Collins who qualify financially as eligible buyers. The City must be notified each time an individual unit
is sold.
b. TWG will be required to commence development within 24 months of closing and shall obtain building
permits for the construction of all such housing units within 48 months of closing.
c. If building permits are not obtained within the required time frame, or if the property or a unit is not used
for affordable housing, the City may enforce the covenant through an injunction or an action for specific
performance.
d. The Covenant will be in a superior position on the title to the property so that it cannot be eliminated by
Agenda Item 11
Item # 11 Page 4
a foreclosure. The Covenant can only be enforced through an injunction or legal action for specific
performance, not by a seizure or foreclosure of the property.
3. The use of the property will also be limited by a Promissory Note and Deed of Trust securing the financial
value of the City’s contribution to the project through the below-market conveyance of the property and
requiring compliance with the affordability and notice provisions of the Covenant. The Deed of Trust would
be for a term of fifty years and subordinate to the primary loan on the property. If the property owner ever
fails to comply with the terms of the Deed of Trust, the City could foreclose on the property. To do so, it
would have to assume or pay off the primary loan on the property.
4. Development Process
a. TWG shall prepare all plans and submittals necessary to present a complete Project Development Plan
(“PDP”). TWG is responsible for all development applications and for paying all related fees required by
the development review process. The City shall cooperate with TWG in its pursuit of any approvals and
permits, including the granting of easement and encroachment permits necessary for the development.
b. TWG is solely responsible for all expenses incurred in preparing for the development of the Property
and the City shall have no obligation to reimburse, share in, or assist TWG in covering any costs incurred
by TWG under the Agreement.
5. The City’s sale of the property to TWG is contingent upon:
a. TWG obtaining all required regulatory approvals for the Development.
b. TWG providing proof reasonably satisfactory to the City that TWG can obtain the necessary financing
to construct the development according to the approved Project Development Plan, including a signed
purchase and sale agreement between itself and Elevation Community Land Trust, and a complete
financing plan showing funds committed to meet all project development needs.
c. Final agreement by the City and TWG on the Covenant, Promissory Note and Deed of Trust; and
d. Council authorization of the sale of the property to TWG by ordinance by December 31, 2021.
If Council does not adopt an ordinance authorizing sale of the property by December 31, 2021, the Agreement
will automatically terminate.
Right of Way
There is an existing sidewalk on the south edge of the Kechter Road land bank property that is not entirely within
the current right-of-way for Kechter Road. Because the City is the seller of this land but not the developer, an
issue has arisen about the best way to ensure the City creates and retains the additional needed right-of-way in
this transaction. Staff recommends that, by separate Ordinance, before sale of this parcel, the City declare as
right-of-way a 2-foot strip of land along Kechter Road that will then be shown on the plat of the development.
The City would then convey the property to TWG subject to the expanded right of way. This removes the need
to show any additional dedications of rights-of-way on the final plat for this project and ensures that the right-of-
way is created even if the City does not convey the property.
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
The City will receive $25,000 for the sale of this parcel and will no longer show ownership of the property in our
financial records.

Agreement is contingent on TWG obtaining all required regulatory approvals for the Project and
providing proof to the City that it can obtain the necessary financing to construct the Project

AGREEMENT OF PURCHASE AND SALE OF REAL PROPERTY
City Sale of 3620 Kechter Road
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into this [date]________________ (the
“Effective Date”), by and between KECHTER TWG, LLLP, a Colorado limited liability
limited partnership (“Purchaser”), and THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS, COLORADO, a
municipal corporation, (“City”).
RECITALS:
A.On April 17, 2001, the Fort Collins City Council adopted Ordinance No. 048,
2001, establishing the City’s Land Bank Program at Article XI of Chapter 23 of the City Code
(the “Land Bank Ordinance”). The purpose of the Land Bank Program is to help affordable
housing providers secure sites for future affordable housing development throughout the City by
purchasing sites that would likely appreciate in the future while they were less expensive, and
holding them for five to fifteen years.
B.In January 2019, based on the City Council’s expressed interest in developing
another of the City’s Land Bank properties, the City issued a Request for Proposals to find a
qualified development team to construct an affordable housing development on the Land Bank
property on Kechter Road in accordance with the requirements of the Land Bank Ordinance, and
ultimately selected Purchaser.
C.Purchaser proposes constructing a townhome community that would be owner-
occupied and restricted to households earning 80% of the area median income (AMI) or less (the
“Development”). The Development would include a minimum of fifty (50) townhome units,
though the parties intend that Purchaser will construct as many units as are possible under the
City’s Land Use Code and allowing for site specific requirements.
D. Upon completion of the Development, Purchaser intends to sell the Property to
ECLT Kechter Commons, LLC, or another buyer reasonably acceptable to the City (“Owner.”)
E.Purchaser has completed a Feasibility Analysis, preliminary design for cost
estimates, and a market study.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree to be legally bound whereby City agrees to
convey to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to acquire from City, the Property, on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement.

C. Reservations by City. City may reserve to itself the following interests:
(1) A two-foot road right-of-way as described on Exhibit C, attached
and incorporated herein by reference; and
(2) A utility easement as described on Exhibit D, attached and
incorporated herein by reference.
3. Purchase Price. The total purchase price of the Property will be Twenty Five
Thousand Dollars ($25,000). The purchase price will be payable by Purchaser to City as
follows:
A. Earnest Money. No earnest money deposit is required in connection with
this transaction, the mutuality of the promises of the parties hereto being
deemed adequate consideration.
B. Financial Consideration. Financial consideration in the amount of Twenty
Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00), including all closing costs and
customary prorations, will be payable by Purchaser to City in immediately
available funds at Closing.
C. Performance Loan. The parties acknowledge that the estimated current
fair market value of the Property unrestricted by the Covenant described in
2.B above and the deed of trust described in this 3.C below is $1,200,000.
The difference between the Purchase Price and the estimated unrestricted
fair market value of the Property in the amount of $1,175,000 will be
secured by a promissory note and deed of trust from Purchaser upon which
Seller shall be entitled to foreclose in the event of a default of the
Covenant. Upon Purchaser’s sale of the Property to Owner, Purchaser
shall assign to Owner the Purchaser’s obligations under such note and
deed of trust.
4. Title Insurance.
A. Within fifteen (15) calendar days following the Effective Date, City will
provide to Purchaser a Title Insurance Commitment (the “Title
EXHIBIT B
Final 10/4/2021 - 4 -
Commitment”) from First American Title Insurance Company, 211 N.
Pennsylvania Street, Suite 1250, Indianapolis, IN 46204, Attention:
Monica Chaves (“Title Company”). The Title Commitment must show
title to the Property in City, subject only to those exceptions shown on
Schedule B-2 to the Title Commitment that are acceptable to Purchaser.
City is responsible for the cost of the Title Commitment and Title
Insurance.
B. If the Title Commitment discloses title defects unsatisfactory to Purchaser
and subject to which Purchaser need not take title, Purchaser may give
City written notice of such defects by the date ten (10) calendar days after
Purchaser’s receipt of the Title Commitment, and no later than ten (10)
calendar days after notice of any title change. City must attempt in good
faith to cure such defects prior to the date of Closing, at its expense,
without in any other manner affecting the terms of this Agreement.
C. If any instrument or deposit is necessary in order to correct a defect in or
objection to title, the following apply:
(1) Any instrument will be in a form and contain terms and conditions
Title Company may reasonably require so as to be sufficiently
satisfied and omit such defects or objection.
(2) Any deposit will be made with Title Company.
(3) City agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver any required
instrument and to make any required deposit.
D. If Title Company refuses to omit any title defect or objection prior to
Closing, then Purchaser, at its election, has the right to:
(1) accept such title as City is able to convey, without any reduction of
the purchase price; or
(2) rescind this Agreement and, upon such rescission, this Agreement
will be null and void and of no further effect, and all parties to this
Agreement will be released from all obligations hereunder.
E. If City is unable to convey title as provided in this paragraph 4 to
Purchaser due to an act or omission of City that is within the authority of
City’s City Manager, City is in default and continues to be liable under
this Agreement.
F. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
EXHIBIT B
Final 10/4/2021 - 5 -
(1) any title condition consisting of monetary liens, deeds of trust or
other financial encumbrances against the Property must be
removed by City at or prior to Closing, and City’s failure to cause
the removal of the same will constitute a default by City under this
Agreement; and
(2) in the event City fails to cause the removal of a financial
encumbrance against the Property prior to Closing, Purchaser has
the right to pay amounts required to do so at Closing, and to
receive a credit for such payment against the Purchase Price.
5. Legal Description. The parties each acknowledge that a legal description of the
Property is attached to and incorporated by reference into this Agreement, and each
acknowledges having received a copy of any such description. The parties agree that it is their
intent that the referenced legal description describes the Property except as otherwise expressly
provided, and agree to work in good faith and cooperatively to correct technical errors that any
such legal description is determined to contain.
6. Special Taxing Districts. Special taxing districts may be subject to general
obligation indebtedness that is paid by revenues produced from annual tax levies on the taxable
property within such districts. Property owners in such districts may be placed at risk for
increased mill levies and excessive tax burdens to support the servicing of such debt where
circumstances arise resulting in the inability of such a district to discharge such indebtedness
without such an increase in mill levies. Purchaser should investigate the debt financing
requirements of the authorized general obligation indebtedness of such districts, existing mill
levies of such district servicing such indebtedness, and the potential for an increase in such mill
levies.
7. Maintenance of the Property/Title. City must keep, or cause to be kept, the
Property in its condition as of the Effective Date until Closing, subject to normal wear-and-tear
and seasonal changes, and agrees not to commit or permit waste thereon. City must not cause or
permit new liens, easements or other encumbrances on the title to the Property, except as
expressly agreed by Purchaser in writing.
8. Representations of City. Based on a reasonable inquiry within City’s municipal
organization on behalf of City’s City Manager, City represents and warrants to the best of City’s
knowledge, as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing, as follows:
A. There is no litigation proceeding, including but not limited to any eminent
domain proceeding, pending (or to City’s knowledge threatened) against
or relating to any part of the Property, nor does City know of or have
reasonable grounds to know of any basis for any such action.
B. City has not received notice of, and to the best of City’s knowledge, there
are no violations of any laws, orders, regulations or requirements of any
EXHIBIT B
Final 10/4/2021 - 6 -
governmental authority affecting the Property or any part thereof.
C. City has the unconditional right and power, subject to the contingencies
described in paragraph 28, to execute and deliver this Agreement and to
consummate the transaction(s) contemplated by this Agreement.
D. City has not received notice of default or breach by City of any of the
covenants, conditions, restrictions, rights-of-way or easements affecting
the Property or any portion thereof; no default or breach now exists or will
exist on the date of Closing; and no event or condition has occurred and is
continuing that, with or without notice and/or the passage of time, will
constitute such a default or breach.
E. City represents that it has provided to Purchaser all environmental reports
and, to the extent permitted by law, any other documentation in City’s
possession related to City’s ownership of the Property.
9. Condition of the Property.
A. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that except as specifically set forth
elsewhere in this Agreement, City has not made, and does not make, any
representations, warranties, promises, covenants or agreements of any
kind or nature, whether express or implied, oral or written, concerning or
with respect to:
(1) the value, nature, quality or condition of the Property;
(2) suitability of the Property for any uses contemplated by Purchaser;
or
(3) compliance of or by the Property or its operation with any laws,
rules, ordinances or regulations of any applicable governmental authority,
including, without limitation, any such laws, rules ordinances or
regulations concerning environmental protection, pollution or land use.
B. By closing, Purchaser will be acknowledging that Purchaser has been
given the opportunity to inspect the Property, and that with the exception
of any representations or warranties specifically set forth in this
Agreement, Purchaser is relying solely on its own investigation of the
Property. Purchaser furthermore acknowledges that its acquisition of the
Property shall be on an “AS IS basis” without further improvement or
remediation by City, and any claims against City in connection with any
representations or warranties (except those specifically set forth elsewhere
in this Agreement and except any warranties of title contained in the deed
to be delivered at Closing) are hereby released and waived by Purchaser.
EXHIBIT B
Final 10/4/2021 - 7 -
10. Inspection. Purchaser or any designee of Purchaser has the right to make
inspections of the physical condition of the Property and the improvements located thereon at
Purchaser's expense. These inspections may include, but are not limited to, environmental
assessments and inspections regarding compliance with any building or fire code, environmental
protection, pollution or land use or zoning laws, rules or regulations, including, but not limited to
any laws relating to the disposal or existence of any hazardous substance or other regulated
substance in or on the Property. If Purchaser does not provide to City written notice of any
unsatisfactory condition, as determined at Purchaser's sole discretion, signed by an authorized
representative of Purchaser, at least thirty (30) days prior to Closing, Purchaser waives any
objection to the physical condition of the Property and the improvements located thereon as of
that date. If Purchaser provides written notice of any unsatisfactory condition, signed by an
authorized representative of Purchaser, to City at least thirty (30) days prior to Closing, and City
does not cure such conditions prior to Closing, this Agreement may be terminated at the option
of Purchaser. Upon such termination, all payments and things of value received hereunder by
City must be returned to Purchaser. Purchaser is responsible and will pay for any damage that
occurs to the Property and the improvements located thereon as a result of these inspections.
11. Development Process.
A. As of the date of this Agreement, the plans for the Development have been
approved. Purchaser shall diligently pursue any remaining approvals or permits required for the
Development. Purchaser is responsible for all applications and permits and for paying all related
fees as a part of the development review process, and no fees shall be waived by the City unless
such waiver is authorized by City Code. The City shall cooperate with Purchaser in its pursuit of
any necessary governmental approvals and permits, including without limitation, the granting of
easements and encroachment permits necessary for the completion of the development, provided
that Purchaser shall comply with all related requirements.
B. Purchaser is solely responsible for all expenses incurred in developing the
Property, including but not limited to the market analysis/feasibility study and the designs, any
environmental reviews, vibration studies, noise analyses, etc., and/or costs incurred in the
development review process. The City shall have no obligation to reimburse, share in or support
Purchaser in covering any costs incurred by them as may be necessary to perform their
obligations under this Agreement. Further, the City shall have no obligation to reimburse, share
in, or assist Purchaser in covering any costs incurred by either of them under this Agreement if
this Agreement is terminated as provided herein, except that if Purchaser terminates the
Agreement because of an uncured default by the City, Purchaser does not waive its potential
claims for damages.
