Advance discussions with Virginia Beach Development Authority (VBDA) to fund new, large-scale mixed-use development projects — Today's briefing 2. Design a housing education campaign to incorporate into successful community engagement -- In progress 3. Research opportunities to simplify and streamline the permitting & review process -- In progress with Planning 3 V8 Defining "Affordable Housing" • Can be all types of housing. • It is not defined by the type of housing, quality, size, or location. • Housing is considered affordable if households do not pay more than 30% of their income on total housing costs. • Paying more than 30% = Housing Cost-Burdened • Paying more than 50% = Severely Housing Cost-Burdened 4 VB 2024 HousingStudyFindings Virginia Beach faces significant affordability challenges: • Rental and homeownership markets • One in three households (about 59,000 households) are housing cost- burdened • Critical concern: Lack of rental units affordable to very-low-income households, many of whom are employed in the city's top 10 most common occupations. • Often bear the burden of high housing costs to remain in the city. 5 VB Current Tools for Expanding Affordable Housing • Federal Low Income Housing Tax Credits • Competitive (9%) • Non-Competitive (4%) • Tax-Exempt Bond Financing • Virginia Housing Long-Term Taxable Bond Financing and Resources Enabling Affordable Community Housing (REACH) program • Federal HOME funds (City of Virginia Beach allocation) • Contribution or Sale of City-Owned Land • Virginia Beach Workforce Housing Bonus Density 6 Ve Affordable Housing in VB Currently about 4,755 affordable multi-family rental units: • About 3,183 are rented to households with incomes at or below 60% Area Median Income (AMI). • Units are rented at or below market rents and do not have any project-based rental subsidy. • Remaining 1,572 units are assisted with project-based rental subsidy (the assistance is tied to the unit). VB New Opportunity: Affordable Housing Performance (AHP) Grant • Authorized by the Virginia General Assembly with an amendment to the Industrial Development and Revenue Bond Act • Passed during 2022 session under HB 1194 • Effective July 1, 2022 • Allows Development Authorities, in conjunction with their local City Council, the power to make grants associated with the construction of affordable housing 8 VB What is an Affordable Housing Performance (AHP) Grant? • Grant funds provided to a developer based on a Percentage of the Incremental Real Estate Tax Revenue generated by the development • Incremental Real Estate Tax Revenue = • The amount of real estate taxes levied by the City on the land and the completed affordable housing development MINUS • The amount of real estate taxes levied on the site prior to developing the affordable housing project • Incremental real estate tax revenue granted to developer if: Development meets eligibility criteria r Developer complies with terms of the grant agreement =�s Ahn 9 Purpose of Proposed VB AHP Grant • To address shortage of affordable housing and further economic development • To incentivize the construction of new affordable rental housing units in Virginia Beach • Units that are rented and affordable to households at or below 80% of Area Median Income (AMI) ($80,550 annual income for a household of 4) • Program includes an incentive to provide units that are rented and affordable to households with incomes at or below 50% of AMI ($50,350 annual income for a household of 4) 10 "" Benefits of the AHP Grant • AHP Grant funds provided to a developer would be based on a Percentage of the Incremental Real Estate Tax Revenue generated by their development. • Therefore, the AHP Grant does not rely on an appropriation of existing general fund revenues. • Makes affordable housing projects feasible that would not happen without this incentive • Allows for an increase in debt proceeds for an affordable housing development • Eliminates barriers that hinder 4% LIHTC (non-competitive) feasibility 11 `` Proposed AHP Grant : Eligible Projects • Projects must be new construction. • Projects must be developed by afor-profit entity. • Only new multi-family affordable rental housing units that have not started construction as of a to-be-determined date. • Applicants must have a demonstrable gap in project financing, as evidenced by their development and operating pro forma. • Projects may be fully affordable or mixed-income. • May also be mixed-use (i.e. with commercial and residential components). • Projects that involve the demolition of existing rental housing units only when they build a minimum 20% additional affordable housing units. 12 VB Proposed AHP Grant : Ineligible Projects • Involve only the purchase and/or rehabilitation of existing housing units. • Have already started construction as of a to-be-determined date. • Do not have a demonstrable gap in project financing as evidenced by their development and operating pro forma. • Developments that are produced by anon-profit entity that is already exempt from paying real estate taxes. 13 vB Proposed Grant Award Duration and Timing • 15-year grant period that may be extended another 15 years (total of 30 years) if recipient complies with capital re-investment terms before the 15th year. • Commences July 1 of the first real estate tax year following completion of construction. • Ends on the last day of the 151" or 30th real estate tax year following the grant commencement date. 14 VS Proposed Grant Amount & Payment • Capped at amount of incremental new real estate taxes to be levied and collected for improvements on the Project Site. • Adjusted to reflect the percentage of residential square footage to the total gross square footage of the structure(s). • Adjusted to reflect the percentage of the number of affordable rental housing units to the number of total residential rental units. • Grant payable upon proof of full and timely payment of the property's real estate taxes and compliance with all requirements of the grant agreement, subject to a corresponding appropriation by the City Council. is vs Proposed Grant Award Terms and Conditions • Adhere to project construction timeline based on the effective date of the grant agreement • Strive for goal of 50% small, woman, and minority (SWaM) business participation during construction, and submit appropriate reports to City's SWaM office. • Provide detailed updates/verifications to the City of construction progress and continued control, maintenance, and operation of the project throughout the 15-30-year grant period. • Restrict occupancy and rents throughout the 15-30-year grant period as outlined in the grant agreement and provide compliance monitoring reports to the City as evidence. • Notify VBDA and the City of any material changes in the project's financing structure after an award it made. • For projects with 30-year performance period, make agree-upon re-investment in capital improvements prior to the 15t" year of service. 16 VB Potential Incentive Grant Example : 100% of Incremental Taxes, 400 units Base Taxes Land Value: $4,000,000 Existing Improvements: $0 Base Tax on Land (.97/$100): $38,800 Incentive Grant = 100% of Incremental Taxes Value of New Improvements: $84,200,000 Land Value, Year 1 $4,120,000 Total Value of Land and Improvements: $88,320,000 Total Taxes on Land & Improvements (.97/$100): $856,704 Base Tax on Land (.97/$100): ($38,800) Incremental Tax = Total Taxes — Base Tax: $817,904 Incentive Grant over 15 years (3% annual increase): $15,351,764 17 VB Potential Incentive Grant Example : Owner's Reduction in Rental Income • 100% Market Rate Units: 400 units at Market Rents of $2,000/month Annual Year 1 rent collection = $9,600,000 Sum of all rents over 15 years (3% annual increase) _ $193,506,061 • 100% Affordable Units : 400 units at Affordable Rents of $1,500/month Annual Year 1 rent collection = $7,200,000 Sum of all rents over 15 years (3% annual increase) = $145,129,545 • Owner's Reduced Potential Rent over 15 years: ($48,376,515) 18 vB Potential Incentive Grant Example: Owner's Net Reduction of Rental Income Over 15 Years • Total Reduction of Rental Income: ($48,376,515) • Incentive Grant: $ 15,3511764 • Net Reduction in Rental Income : ($33,024,751) 19 vs Model AHP Grant: City of Richmond, Virginia • First and currently the only program in Virginia • Began in 2023 • Richmond Grant uses 100% as maximum percentage of incremental real estate tax revenue • Charges a Grant Administration fee = 1% of annual grant value • To date: • 26 projects approved • 3,440 affordable rental housing units under construction or in the pipeline 20 VS Staff Recommendation • Recommend 100% incremental new real estate taxes as maximum • Application must be submitted for each project • Must meet all program criteria for staff to recommend approval • City Council and VBDA approve each project individually • Maintain separate required Public Process for permitting of developments 21 VB City Council Guidance Should staff proceed with pursuing an AHP Grant for Virginia Beach? • If Yes: • Staff provides program documents to council for review • Request ordinance in April 2025 to create AHP Grant program • Provide Annual Report of all AHP Grant Activity • Evaluate program in 2-3 years based on completed projects • If No: What alternatives does Council recommend? Other questions? 22 %B 5 CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFINGS PENDING PLANNING ITEMS ITEM#76 70 7 4:15 P.M.

Mayor Dyer advised before the Body provides comments today, he would like to begin by taking a moment of silence to honor Police Officers Cameron Girvin and Christopher Reese who paid the ultimate price for the City over the weekend. Following the moment of silence, Council Member Ross-Hammond expressed her appreciation to the community for supporting each of the Police Precincts. Council Member Ross-Hammond advised the hoteliers and restaurants have been providingfood, Town Bank donated$50,000, the Virginia Beach Police Benevolent Association provide$5,000 to the Officer's wives and so many others have reached out to help in any way they can. Council Member Ross-Hammond believes it's important to let people know the Body hears them and appreciates all of their support. Mayor Dyer advised the response to the tragedy is very early and asked if City Manager Duhaney would like to comment. City Manager Duhaney advised staff is working with the families to identify how they would like to memorialize the fallen officers and believes there are plans to hold a shared memorial service this weekend. City Manager Duhaney emphasized it is still early and nothing has been finalized at this point and he will provide more information as he receives it. Vice Mayor Wilson advised Senator DeSteph called her to let her know he is having flags flown over the State Capital, Congresswoman Kiggans is havingflagsflown over the U.S. Capital to present to thefamilies and understands the Virginia Police Foundation also provided funds to the families to offer assistance for any unexpected costs. Vice Mayor Wilson advised there are so many people and companies stepping up to help and is an example of why the City was named "Most Caring City"in the country, expressing while all of the support is truly helpful, there will never be enough to give back to the families for their loss.

Council Member Hutcheson explained he had to laugh when he was later called by attendees from out of the City asking why the Conference was cancelled as Public Works had done such a great job clearing the snow from the roads. Council Member Hutcheson went on to explain he was the Battalion Chief who responded to Mt. Trashmore when sledding was allowed and had to shut it down. Member Hutcheson explained over a four(4) hour time period there were approximately sixty(60)calls for broken legs, arms, ribs and knee injuries and had to call for additional engines to assist. Council Member Hutcheson advised if controls and safety precautions are put in place, he would love to see sledding authorized again, but only if safety controls are in place. Council Member Remick expressed his appreciation to City staff for their response to not only the snowstorm but the water main break that happened in his district.

February 25, 2025 12 CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION CITY COUNCIL SPEAKER POLICY—OPEN DIALOGUE ITEM#76 714 Council Member Cummings advised he would like to propose a change to the structure of Open Dialogue and suggested continuing to hold Open Dialogue quarterly, as legally required where citizens can speak on any topic they choose, and for the remaining eight (8) monthly meetings, Open Dialogue would be limited to topics related to City business. Mayor Dyer expressed his concern that as Chair he would be responsible for determining if a speaker fits the topic criteria and may inadvertently violate their right to free speech. Mayor Dyer explained to Council Member Cummings that the past few Open Dialogue sessions were more of an anomaly with the protestors attending. Mayor Dyer explained most often, there are only a few who come and provides an opportunity for them to share their problems or concerns with the Body. Mayor Dyer asked City Attorney Stiles to comment on the proposed change. City Attorney Stiles advised the Body can set the rules as what subjects may and may not be addressed but cautioned a clearly written definition of "City business"will have to be crafted in order for the Chair to reliably enforce. Mayor Dyer asked Council Member Cummings how he would define "City business"? Council Member Cummings advised it is anything City Council can resolve and explained when the protestors came to protest the war between Israel and Palestine, several hours of City resources were used and it was non productive since City Council cannot do anything to end the war. Council Member Cummings advised it is best to address this issue now instead of waiting until there may be another one. Mayor Dyer expressed understanding of the proposal and explained there have been times when citizens have come and shared problems they were having which the Body was able to resolve for them and does not want to limit their access. Council Member Rouse advised she has had constituents come to her where she used her elected office as a funnel to pipeline information up to the offices of Senators Warner and Kaine and Congressman Scott who she can contact when issues cannot be resolved at the local level and agreed their access should not be limited. Council Member Cummings advised people who have legitimate business will still have twelve (12) opportunities to speak, this is meant to limit the people who try to abuse the process. Council Member Cummings expressed he has no qualms with staying all night to listen to legitimate concerns and help residents but would like to limit citizens who come to protest and abuse the system. Mayor Dyer asked City Attorney Stiles if it is possible to limit the number of speakers who register to speak on the same topic? February 25, 2025 13 CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION CITY COUNCIL SPEAKER POLICY—OPENDIALOGUE ITEM#76 714 (Continued) City Attorney Stiles advised the safer option is to limit the total amount of time for Open Dialogue, such as one(1)hour, which is easily enforceable. Council Member Schulman advised with the exception of the past couple of Open Dialogue sessions, he could not recall Open Dialogue lasting more than an hour. Council Member Schulman suggested limiting Open Dialogue to one (1) hour and with a consensus of the Body, time could be extended in cases where there are a lot of residents with a City concern. Council Member Hutcheson asked if the time for the next four(4) Open Dialogue sessions can be tracked to see how long the average session lasts. City Clerk Barnes advised she has the amount of time for the past Open Dialogue sessions and will provide that information to the Body. Mayor Dyer asked the Body wait until they have received the information and then reconsider. February 25, 2025 14 ITEM#76 715 Mayor Robert M.
