• Family enters into a 99-y ear renewable

• Has exclusive rights to the property, like

• Agrees to sell to same income level to keep
t

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Family owns the home and has a 30-
year fixed mortgage
City deeds land for
housing to Land
Trust
Land Trust holds land in trust as
community benefit
How Do We Keep the Home Affordable for Subsequent Buyers? • The price of the home is tied to the pay check, not the market.
T
he index tied to resale is the Area Median Income (AMI) • In order to keep the homes affordable to future buyers, h
omeowners agree to sell their home for a limited price when they decide to move
• The maximum price is calculated based on what was paid plus a
n annual increase based on the change in the area median income
Calculating the Resale Price
(Example)
• Initial Median Income in 2012 f or Family of 4 at 100% AMI:
$86,100
7 years later in 2019:
• Median Income in 2019 f or Family of 4 at 100% AMI:
$100,400
• Change in Incomes from 2012 to 2019 = 16.61%
(
AMI chart comes out annually - could be more, could be less for future changes)
Source: HCD Napa County AMI Charts
2/1/2012 & 5/6/2019
Calculating the Resale Price
(Example)
Initial Purchase Price: $350,000
If:
Change in Median Income = 16.61%
Then:
Maximum Sales Price = $408,135.00
Total Appreciation from AMI = $58,135.00
Total equity = Appreciation + Debt Reduction +

• HLT has completed 32 resales

• Our homeowners have on
average sold their homes for
$50,000 more than they
bought it for
• Upon selling their home, our
homeowners have walked
away with an average of
$100,000 in total equity,
which is often used towards
the purchase of a market
rate home.
STEWARDSHIP MATTERS
What Are We Accomplishing?
• Making homeownership a reality f or the workforce in our community
• Strengthening the fabric of our community b y providing our workforce a secure place to live
• Investing in a permanent subsidy that will help generation a
fter generation by partnering with a non-profit in HLT to steward the land that is a finite resource
• Eliminating the need for government & private subsidies i n future years by tying the subsidy to the unit not the family • Delivering stewardship to families to ensure successful h
omeownership
• Creating community wealth in perpetuity by preserving land t
hat will benefit the community forever

Re: Notice of Intention to Adopt Resolution of Necessity Settlement Discussion
Dear Ms. Carranzo,
I am in receipt of your correspondence dated September 28, 2023 outline the City of Napa's Notice of Intention to Adopt Resolution of Necessity to Acquire Property by Eminent Domain Known as Assessor Parcel Number 038-170-006. This office represents the owner of the subject parcel, which is commonly referred to as 2047 Big Ranch Road, Napa, California.
Please be advised of my client's objection to the city's proposed Resolution of Necessity on the following grounds:
That the public interest and necessity to not require the project as is proposed; That the project is not planned or located in a manner that will be the most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury; That the interest in the property sought to be acquired by eminent domain is necessary for the project; and,
That the offer required by Government Code section 7267.2 has been made to the owner of record.
i
Of particular importance is the absence of any meaningful effort on the party of the city to reasonably negotiate with the owner of record regarding the scope of the project or compensation for the taking. Witnesses, including the owner of record, experts regarding the particular real estate at issue, and legal counsel may appear at the upcoming meeting of the City Council, which has been scheduled for October 17, 2023, to discuss this matter, While my client has sought a reasonable continuance of the proposed meeting to consider the Notice of Resolution to allow additional time to negotiate the proposed project, this reasonable request has been denied by the city. Accordingly, my client will appear to lodge his objections as outlined herein.

Subject: 10/17: Item 8B Big Ranch Rd widening
Date: Monday, October 16, 2023 4:25:36 PM
Hello Council,
I’m Todd Morse, owner of 2023 Big Ranch Rd.
My regrets on being out of town and not able to attend.
I would like to acknowledge & express my appreciation for the very effective informative communication & respectful constructive meetings I have recently had with Ian Heid and Rosa Corona. They have thoroughly & patiently communicated to my personal comfort that nobody is looking to ‘steal anybody’s land’ and that The City, in fact, is interested in avoiding any legal path for acquisition. It’s clear that Ian fully intends to continue negotiations forward with his same good faith and professionally assertive ‘how do we resolve this’ attitude that I have come to know over recent weeks.
It’s my understanding that, yes admittedly, after the years of this project being somewhat ‘kicked around’ and periodic negotiations for the right away, this resolution will help Ian and Rosa in a comprehensive fashion to move the project forward to completion.
It’s my solid opinion that had they been personally and directly involved in the years of previous attempts to gain the right of way/easement that this resolution would be unnecessary at this time, i.e. the easements would’ve been years since acquired.
Ian and & Rosa individually, and as a team, could not be more professional, informative, forthright, respectful, politely assertive, efficient, and constructive in their dealings with me.
The City of Napa, and myself as a citizen, are fortunate to have them both as representatives.
Thank you,
Todd Morse

Dear Michael Walker:
RE: City of Napa’s 6
th C
ycle (2023-2031) Revised Draft Housing Element
Thank you for submitting the City of Napa’s (City) revised draft housing element received for review on September 15, 2023. The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) also received revisions on October 16, 2023 that were made available to the public for seven days. Pursuant to Government Code section 65585, HCD is reporting the results of its review.
The revised draft element meets the statutory requirements that were described in HCD’s May 17, 2023 review. The housing element will substantially comply with State Housing Element Law (Gov. Code, § 65580 et seq) when it is adopted, submitted to and approved by HCD, in accordance with Government Code section 65585.
Public participation in the development, adoption and implementation of the housing element is essential to effective housing planning. Throughout the housing element process, the City should continue to engage the community, including organizations that represent lower-income and special needs households, by making information regularly available and considering and incorporating comments where appropriate. Please be aware, any revisions to the element must be posted on the local government’s website and to email a link to all individuals and organizations that have previously requested notices relating to the local government’s housing element at least seven days before submitting to HCD.
For your information, pursuant to Government Code section 65583.3, the City must submit an electronic sites inventory with its adopted housing element. The City must utilize standards, forms, and definitions adopted by HCD. Please see HCD’s housing element webpage at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/planning-and- community- dev
elopment/housing-elements for a copy of the form and instructions. The City can r
each out to HCD at [email protected] for technical assistance.
Item 15.A.
Michael Walker, Senior Planner
Several federal, state, and regional funding programs consider housing element compliance as an eligibility or ranking criteria. For example, the CalTrans Senate Bill (SB) 1 Sustainable Communities grant, the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities program, and HCD’s Permanent Local Housing Allocation consider housing element compliance and/or annual reporting requirements pursuant to Government Code section 65400. With a compliant housing element, the City will meet housing element requirements for these and other funding sources.
For your information, some general plan element updates are triggered by housing element adoption. HCD reminds the City to consider timing provisions and welcomes the opportunity to provide assistance. For information, please see the Technical Advisories issued by the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research at:
https://www.opr.ca.gov/planning/general-plan/guidelines.html.
HCD appreciates the hard work and dedication of the housing element update team.
Their efforts and commitment to effectively plan for Napa’s existing and future housing needs are commendable. HCD looks forward to receiving the City’s adopted housing element. If you have any questions or need additional technical assistance, please contact me at [email protected].
Sincerely,
Paul McDougall

Mayor Sedgely and Council Members,
As a member of the Napa Housing Coalition, I hope to address you this evening. In the event I am unable to make the meeting, I want to enthusiastically support the adoption of the Draft Housing Element.
I want to salute City staff, especially Mike Walker, for putting together a detailed and comprehensive document that appears to be ready to pass HCD muster. That, in itself, will be a significant achievement.
Although I missed the Planning Commission as we were out of town, I did support their vote for adoption of the Draft Housing Element. I had expressed some concerns about some particular issues, which I understand the Commission and City staff thoroughly and appropriately addressed.
As noted above, City staff deserves significant “atta-girls” and “atta-boys”!! They have performed a Herculean effort.
I urge your adoption of the Draft Housing Element such that we can keep of moving forward.
Thank you for your consideration,
Chuck Shinnamon
