Burlington has grown and adapted throughout its 120-year history, making the community a place that we are all proud to call home. Planning for a future that is reflective of the community’s goals will pave the way to Burlington’s continued success and regional relevance. The Burlington of tomorrow will be a city that embraces cultural opportunities to support a sense of community. It will be a city that allows every resident the ability to lead a healthy, active lifestyle supported by healthy food options and plentiful recreational amenities. Young families will find Burlington attractive due to its affordable cost of living, closeknit neighborhoods, great schools, and attractive greenways. Burlington will invest in its past by maintaining established neighborhoods, preserving its many historic districts, and redeveloping its dormant areas. Multi-modal transit will make the city easy to traverse via bike, foot, car, or bus. A vibrant downtown will form the hub of the community, as a place where creative minds go to work, residents go to unwind and enjoy themselves, and some even choose to call home. Our community will be inclusive and our city will provide dependably high levels of public infrastructure and services in all areas of the city, making Burlington an easy place to do business and a desirable place to start a life. Our path is toward an even better Burlington, our Destination Burlington.

- Ronnie K. Wall, Mayor

City Council Agenda – April 7, 2015 Public Hearing to Receive Citizens’ Comments on Proposed Five-year Consolidated Plan – Community Development Program

At the March 17, 2015 meeting, City Council set April 7, 2015 as the public hearing date for citizens to comment on the proposed Community Development Program Five-year Consolidated Plan. Please schedule a public hearing for the City Council’s April 7, 2015 meeting. Staff will use the citizen comments received at the public hearing and during the required 30-day comment period (April 1-30, 2015) to complete the Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan describes the area housing and community development needs. It proposes priorities and strategies to address these needs over a five-year period. Included in the Plan is the One-Year Action Plan that will be updated annually. The Oneyear Action Plan describes the proposed sources and activities for the City’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocation for the fiscal year. The City and Alamance County are members of a Consortium of Local Governments receiving federal HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program funds. As Lead Entity for the HOME Consortium, the City of Greensboro prepared the HOME Program Five-year Consolidated Plan. The City of Burlington is responsible for accepting citizen comments on the City and County’s proposed uses of HOME Program funds during 2015-16. Attached is the proposed program year 2015-16 budgets for the CDBG and HOME Programs. A draft of the Executive Summary of the proposed Five-Year Consolidated Plan is also attached. A copy of the proposed Five-Year Consolidated Plan document is available in the City Clerk’s office or online at http://www.burlingtonnc.gov/DocumentCenter/View/7442 for your review. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please advise.

2015-2019 Consolidated Plan and 2015 Annual Plan Summary The City of Burlington is a federal entitlement community under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. The City also receives HOME funds through its participation in the Greensboro HOME Consortium. As a HUD entitlement community, the City is required to prepare a Five-Year Consolidated Plan (CP) in order to implement any federal programs that fund housing, community development and economic development within the community. The City of Burlington’s CP covers the period from FY 2015 through FY 2019. Purpose of the Consolidated Plan The purpose of the Consolidated Plan (CP) is to guide federal funding decisions in the next five years. The CP is guided by three overarching goals that are applied according to a community’s needs. The goals are: •





To provide decent housing by preserving the affordable housing stock, increasing the availability of affordable housing, reducing discriminatory barriers, increasing the supply of supportive housing for those with special needs, and transitioning homeless persons and families into housing. To expand economic opportunities through more jobs paying self-sufficient wages, homeownership opportunities, development activities that promote long-term community viability, and the empowerment of low- and moderate- income persons to achieve self-sufficiency. To provide a suitable living environment through safer, more livable neighborhoods, greater integration of low- and moderate- income residents throughout the City, increased housing opportunities, and reinvestment in deteriorating neighborhoods.

Focus of the Plan As required by HUD, the identification of needs and the adoption of strategies to address those needs must focus primarily on low- and moderate-income individuals and households. The CP must also address the needs of persons with special needs such as the elderly, persons with disabilities, large families, single parents, homeless individuals and families, and public housing residents. The priorities identified in the CP were developed by: • • • • •

Weighing the severity of the need among all groups and sub-groups Analyzing current social, housing, and economic conditions Analyzing the relative needs of low- and moderate-income families Assessing the resources likely to be available over the next five years, and Evaluating input from focus group sessions, interviews, service provider surveys, City staff and participants in public hearings

Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)

The priority needs for the next five years are: • • •

Improvement and access to local public facilities and services that contribute to neighborhood development. Improvement of public infrastructure to revitalize neighborhoods Decent, affordable housing, including housing that directly reduces homelessness and increases the availability of supportive housing

The City will adopt specific set-asides to generally structure the spending of CDBG funds and ensure that the limited amount of funds available have the greatest possible impact in addressing the needs identified in this plan. For each of the next five years, these set-asides include: • • • •

A maximum of 15% of CDBG funds will be dedicated to public service activities At least 10% in CDBG funds will be dedicated to public infrastructure needs in nonstudent, low/moderate-income neighborhoods At least 25% in CDBG funds will be dedicated to housing rehabilitation, in addition to HOME funds At least 15% in CDBG funds will be dedicated to economic development initiatives, including the Construction Training Partnership Program

Any remaining CDBG funding is available to any eligible category, including public facilities. The City will focus its grant efforts on fewer projects that make a greater impact addressing City priority needs. Key elements of this Consolidated Plan are its emphasis on citizen participation and the collaborative nature of the process. During the development of the Consolidated Plan there was consultation and coordination completed with several service agencies in the City of Burlington. These conversations were held with several levels of service providers who understood the problems faced by the elderly, needs of affordable housing, homeless, and health services. The City of Burlington Planning Department and Community Development Department developed an outreach effort to maximize input from a large cross-section of stakeholders. This outreach effort included public meetings, published meeting notices, stakeholder meetings, in-person interviews, and telephone interviews. The Planning Department and Community Development Department actively consulted with a variety of non-profits, social service providers, community residents, and governmental agencies to determine the needs of the City and better allocate entitlement resources. Focus group meetings were held March 2-5, 2014 and September 16-18, 2014, with affordable/special needs housing and service providers, business associations, homeless service agencies, community building organizations, economic development officials, neighborhood groups, health and human service providers, and more. In addition, several advertised public hearings are scheduled to take place.

The Commission unanimously recommended approval of the request for rezoning. In addition, the Commission recommended that the official zoning map and the Comprehensive Land Use Plan be amended to reflect the rezoning. The Commission found that the zoning changes as requested would not adversely affect the adjoining property, would be in keeping with land use planning in the area and was consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for Burlington and its environs. This matter will be advertised as required for a public hearing before the City Council on April 7, 2015, and abutting property owners will be properly notified. Please have this item placed on the City Council agenda for that date. Action required by Council is approval of the following ordinance.

City of Burlington Zoning Staff Report

Applicant: Mr. Bobby R Rose, Sr. Property Location: 3550 South Church St. PIN: 3-26A-15 Area: Approximately 11.3 acres Current Zoning: I-1 Planned Industrial District and B-2 General Business District Proposed Zoning: CB-Conditional Business District Current Land Use: Manufacturing, warehouse and storage, retail and service. Proposed Land Use: Unified Business Development to include Manufacturing, warehouse and storage, retail and service. Zoning History: • Mr. Rose’s property was zoned B-2 General Business District and I-1 Planned Industrial District when it came into Burlington’s jurisdiction in 1982. • A 25 ft. wide portion of the adjacent property to the west was rezoned from B-2 General Business District to I-1 Planned Industrial District in 1991. That portion was subsequently added to this property. • A 550 ft. x 200 foot portion of Mr. Rose’s property was rezoned From I-1 Planned Industrial District to B-2 General Business District in 1997 leaving it as it is today.

Adjacent property Conditions: Location Zoning North B-2 & O&I South R-15 Residential East B-2 West B-2

Land Use UBD-Shopping Center Single Family Residential Industrial Industrial

Land Use Plan Commercial Residential Commercial Commercial

Comprehensive Plan Consistency: The current land use plan calls for commercial use. This is an existing commercial and industrial development. While conditional business goes by B-2 standards, manufacturing can be in B-2 only with conditional zoning. There is no information on file that this property was ever classified as a Unified Business Development making this property nonconforming. The rezoning will bring the property into compliance while allowing manufacturing as a use to continue. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning.

ITEM #6

Memorandum TO:

Harold Owen, City Manager

FROM:

Shawna Tillery, Community Development Administrator

SUBJECT:

City Council Agenda-April 7, 2015-Update on City’s CHDO Partnership and Apple Tree Subdivision

Please request City Council at the April 7, 2015 meeting consider an update on the City’s CHDO partnership and Apple Tree Subdivision. Community Housing Development Update: The HOME program requires entities receiving HOME funds to allocate at least 25% of the total grant allocation to Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO). For many years Alamance County Community Services Agency (ACCSA) has served in that capacity for the City. In 2013 new HOME program rules were enacted specifically for CHDO which set up new five year expenditures deadlines and two year commitment deadlines once projects were started. ACCSA had a fund balance of $46,073.63 set to expire on June 30, 2015 if not expended. Therefore, in Fall 2014 an amendment to the FY 10-11 agreement with (ACCSA) was completed to reallocate CHDO funds to Habitat for Humanity of Alamance County, NC (Habitat). Habitat completed the CHDO certification process through the City of Greensboro and was certified under the HOME program. Staff had completed research on other municipalities who worked with local Habitat affiliates and set up a program similar to Winston-Salem. The CHDO funds were allocated based on a $15,000 per home 2nd mortgage through a Deed of Trust forgivable at $1,000 per year as long as the owner lives at the property. This allows Habitat to help offset construction costs and allow more funding for other projects in the community. To date Habitat has completed two closings and plan the third one in May 2015 to expend the remaining funds. Apple Tree Subdivision Update: The City-owned Apple Tree Subdivision has had some challenges over the last few years due to the rise in the minimum credit score required by private lenders. In an effort to spur development and to engage other affordable housing developers in the community, the Community Development Division would propose developing Apple Tree subdivision in partnership with our long term partner ACCSA and to also include Habitat to build out the remaining lots. Both Boards of Directors at each agency have been informed of this partnership and are highly interested in this with the Council’s consideration.

In order to make the neighborhood conform to the existing houses ACCSA will share with Habitat the house plans which have been used previously in order to make the new homes consistent with the existing homes. ACCSA is currently working with a pool of four families who have some credit issues through its homeownership program. ACCSA has also increased community partnerships and currently is working with Burlington Housing Authority through its Family SelfSufficiency Program. Habitat has several families who will be coming out of their homeownership program who could build at the subdivision. Habitat is a known and reputable builder of affordable housing in the community. This new partnership could generate a lot of new potential interest in the subdivision and showcase the City’s commitment to affordable housing opportunities in the community. The Executive Directors of both agencies will be available to speak to any questions you may have. Staff recommends Council consider this new proposal for a dual partnership program for our CHDO requirement through the HOME program. Should you need additional information, please advise me.
