MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN
DISTRICT OF TOFINO
(DOT)
AND
TOFINO HOUSING CORPORATION INC. (THC)
AND
TOFINO BIBLE FELOWSHIP
(TBF)
(COLLECTIVELY “THE PARTIES)
Whereas the District of Tofino is owner of District Lot 114 (insert legal) “the Lands”
Whereas the District of Tofino has identified, through the District of Tofino’s Official Community Plan and the District Lot 114 Local Area Plan, the use of District Lot 114 for affordable and attainable housing.
Whereas the District of Tofino has established the Tofino Housing Corporation Inc., (“THC”) a private municipal corporation with the sole purpose of building attainable and affordable housing in Tofino and the District of Tofino has committed to providing the majority of the lands to THC for this purpose.
Whereas the Tofino Bible Fellowship (“TBF”) a CRA registered charity, would like to develop approximately 15 units of affordable housing and an approximately 2000 sq ft multi- purpose community room (“the Development”) on the Lands.
Whereas the THC intends to develop approximately 35 units of housing as part of an initial development phase on the Lands (“THC Phase 1”).
Commented [b2]: Affordable housing?
Commented [b1]: Make sure that this is the correct legal name.
Page 5 of 13
Whereas the District of Tofino and THC support the TBF vision the Development. The Purpose of this agreement is:
1. To establish provide a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) between the three parties to establish the parameters conditions whereby a portion of the Lands will may be transferred by the District of Tofino to TBF for $1 for the purpose of the TBF Development.
2. TBF Parcel Transfer
The District of Tofino and TBF agree that approximately [insert total] of the Lands will be transferred to TBF. This designated lot will revert back to THC – subject to articles in this agreement, if TBF fails to complete the following in a timely manner (following completion of) schematic designs and financing, grant or equity contribution approvals from BC Housing and / or other parties and the subdivision of the Lands. The exact size of the land parcel transferred to TBF will be dependent on completion of schematic designs relatively consistent with Concept Plan (see Appendix A) and approval of a Rezoning Application by the District of Tofino.
3. Rezoning DecisionNo Fettering
TBF acknowledges that nothing this MOU does not fetters the District of Tofino from making whateverin making its decision it deems appropriate based on the merits ofregarding the Rezoning Application made by TBF to the District of Tofinoany proposed changes to zoning. Would a rezoning application be required or would a simpler text amendment to the existing Zoning, which would allow more use options, be a cleaner, less costly step. The District already rezoned property at their expense and TBF proposal does not propose and change of purpose ie: commercial only adding uses that complimenting existing zoning
4. PaymentConsideration
TBF agrees to pay $10.00 to the District of Tofino and the land transfer tax and GST, as
required, for its parcel.
5.4. Land Subdivision and Servicing Plan
TBF and THC agree to collaborate on developing a subdivision and servicing plan(s) that will result in the extension of Peterson Road onto the Lands and provide access to the TBF
Commented [b5]: A text amendment IS a rezoning
Commented [b3]: We will need to establish a rationale for lawful non-market transfer of these lands.
Commented [b4]: Is it intended that the TBF Development be defined herein?
Page 6 of 13
Development and THC Phase 1. TBF and THC acknowledge that this process will involve hiring multiple consultants which may ( is likely to ) include, but not limited to, biologists, civil engineers, geotechnical engineers, surveyors, rainwater management specialists, costs consultants, lawyers and other development specialists.
6.5. Cost Sharing – Subdivision and Servicing Plan
TBF and THC agree to share the cost of hiring the consultants associated with producing the subdivision and servicing plan for the TBF Development and THC Phase 1 on split of 30% borne by TBF and 70% borne by THC.
7.6. Cost Sharing – Servicing Installation
TBF and THC agree to share the cost of subdividing the lots and installing the services within the public right-of-way, which will provide access and services to the TBF Development and THC Phase 1. The costs will be apportioned for the following items based on the following table:
I am guessing that survey costs are covered in subdivision process?
8.7. Cost Sharing Agreements Required
(Nothing in this MOU implies that TBF or THC can hire a consultant and receive any form of reimbursement from the other party.) Not sure the intent of the first sentence? TBF and THC agree to work together based on the terms of the MOU and prior to hiring any consultant TBF and THC will have to agree on the hiring process, the selection process, who is supervising the consultant, who will pay the consultant and what reimbursement, if any, will be provided from one party to the other.
9.8. Concept Servicing Plan
Each organisation will hire (their own) design and
development consultants to establish the on-site schematic site plan, building design and
landscaping plan.
Commented [b6]: Why can the two parties not agree on a consultant team?
Commented [b7]: This whole section needs to be a lot clearer
Commented [b8]: This is not clear
Item Proportionate to:
Subdivision Number of lots to be owned by either party (does not include any subdivisions or strata
subdivisions that may occur subsequently)
Roads and services in the road right of way Frontage length on Peterson Road for the Development and THC Phase 1
Service laterals Number servicing each lot
Page 7 of 13
Both THC and TBF acknowledge that THC will be completing a Concept Servicing Plan for the Lands, which will form the basis for developing the subdivision and servicing plan for the Development and THC Phase 1. THC is paying for this work.
10.9. Timeliness
All The Parties parties acknowledge that time is of the essence and that this partnership will only be successful if each party is diligently working towards being ready to acquire the necessary funding and financing to pay their share of the subdivision and servicing as contemplated in this MOU.
11. District of Tofino funded subdivision and servicing
In the event that either TBF is not ready (able) to proceed with the Development or THC is not ready to proceed with THC Phase 1, after due consideration of related circumstances and subject to the conditions of this MOU, the District of Tofino will give serious consideration to funding the TBF or THC subdivision and servicing cost-share. The District is then free to allow the other party to proceed.
12.10. Proceeding without TBF
TBF acknowledges that if it is not ready todoes not proceed with funding its share of the subdivision and servicing when THC is ready to proceed, the District of Tofino may ( to ) give permission to THC, THC and another third party, or another third party, to proceed with the subdivision and servicing plan and transfer that portion of the Lands contemplated under clause 2 to another party.
13.11. Reimbursement for Subdivision and Servicing Costs
The District of Tofino agrees that in the event it elects to proceed without TBF, the District of Tofino, (or another party), will reimburse TBF for the costs incurred for the subdivision and servicing plan development as per clause 6. TBF acknowledges that any costs borne by TBF to develop the on-site schematic site plan, building design and landscaping design will not be reimbursed. The District or another party, in the development of the TBF site, as a cost saving measure and to allow cost recovery for TBF, may chose/be encouraged to purchase – at cost – the site plan, building design and landscaping design already established for the site.
14.12. Allocating another parcel to TBF
Commented [b9]: Partnership has a legal meaning – I don’t think that this is a partnership – more likely a “joint venture”
Commented [b10]: Nope – this is a decision that we can make at that time IF the development stumbles.
Commented [b11]: More certainty around timing needed I think
Commented [b12]: In this case, what happens to the work that TBF has done?
Commented [b13]: More Like “ Should TBF and THC not proceed with the development of the Lands by
, the District of Tofino may, in its sole discretion rely on work undertaken by the other parties to the extent that it legally possible and will in such case provide compensation to the other parties.
Or just delete this section.
Page 8 of 13
The District of Tofino agrees that in the event it elects to proceed without the TBF, it will considermay in its sole discretion allocate allocating, when TBF is ready to proceed, a similar sized parcel on the Lands to allow TBF to proceed with the Development in another location at a future date.
15.13. Good faith and other legal mumbo jumbo?
Should we consider a clause asking the District – in of the affordable housing nature of this land – to seek to minimize any and all charges and fees. Ie: Public Hearing if required, sudbdivision fees, DCC’s, etc.
consideration
administrative
Commented [b14]: Perhaps the District can simply run the rezoning process at its cost.
