K1K� SON `��` RE: Replacement Housing O dinance 0 �� r1\ ��..�� DATE: June 3, 1988 ******* ************** Enclosed please find he revised replacement housing ordinance which incorporates the changes made at our meeting on Wednesday. We have incorpor ted the following additional changes as well: Section 2a) . We deci ed to define affordable rental housing as 12 � of the fair arket rent as determined by HUD. This seems like a more worka le formula because fair market rental amounts vary accordin to the number of bedrooms in a unit whereas the median household income standard would not differentiate among differen sized housing units. The fair market rental amounts repres nt the median rent for the St. Paul area. We defined affordable rental housing as 125� of the fair market rent amounts so that e definition would irrclude housing occupied by people just abov very low income. If this housing is lost it will put even mor pressure on the low income housing market. The current fair ma ket rental amounts for the St. Paul area as determined by HUD ar as follows: 0 bedroom. . . . . . $359.00 1 bedroom. . . . . . .435.00 2 bedroom. . . . . . .516.00 3 bedroom. . . . . . .645.00 4 bedroom. . . . . . . 720.00 We also added a sentence def 'ning when a hotel room should be considered as a rental unit ince some low income people do live in hotels . We changed the d finition in Section 2b) to City Assisted Project to clarify at actions by the city this ordinance will cover. We ad ed a section (c) on comparable rents so that the replacement housing built will be affordable by the same income group that lost e housing. Section 3. We tighte ed up the language to make sure that the same terms were being use consistently throughout the ordinance. Section 4. We change some of the language so it would be consistent with the rest of t e ordinance. We checked the cites to the legislative code and f und that Chapter 33 deals with building permits and Chapter 368 references demolition. � . . . � � � Section 6. We added language to clarify when a city assisted project would be s bject to the provisions of this ordinance. Thank you for your h lp with this ordinance. If you have questions or concerns about these revisions, please feel free to contact me at 222-5863 or D nnis Dorgan at 228-9823. 2 � j � • � _ , • An ordinance creati g a new Chapter XXX of the Saint Paul Legislative Code pertaining to replacement housing.
