City and Owner are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Parties." RECITALS A. The City has Inclusionary Zoning Regulations (Dubiin Municipal Code Chapter 8.68) (the "Regulations") that require developers of rental and ownership housing to construct within their projects units that are affordable to very low-, low-, and moderate- income households ("the Program"). To further its goal of creating affordable home ownership opportunities for very low-, low-, and moderate-income persons and families, the City has initiated a program for the sale of some homes at a price below their market rate ("Program"). Pursuant to the Program, developers of housing developments agree to set aside a certain number of units for purchase or rent, as applicable, by very low-, low-, and moderate-income persons and families, as defined herein. B Owner is an eligible [very low-, low- or moderate-]income purchaser under the Program, intends to live in the Property as an owner occupant, and agrees to maintain the Property as Owner's principal residence 790277 .2 -1- Form Revised April 18, 2006 A C In order to maintain and preserve the Property as housing affordable to eligible [very low-, low-, or moderate-]income purchasers, it is necessary to restrict the use and resale of the Property through imposition of the occupancy and resale restrictions set forth herein. These restrictions are intended to prevent initial and subsequent purchasers from using the Property for purposes incompatible with the Program and realizing unwarranted gains from sales of the Property at unrestricted prices, The terms and conditions of this Agreement are intended to provide the necessary occupancy and resale restrictions to ensure that the Property is used, maintained, and preserved as housing affordable to eligible [very low-, low-, or moderate-]income purchasers. To further serve the purposes of the Program, it is necessary that the City be granted an option to purchase the property so that the property may be resold by the City to an eligible household. D. The Property constitutes a valuable community resource by providing decent, safe, and sanitary housing to persons and families of [very low, low, or moderate] income who otherwise would be unable to afford such housing. To protect and preserve this resource it is necessary, proper, and in the public interest for the City to administer occupancy and resale controls consistent with the Program and the Regulations by means of this Agreement.
