IHFD Mortgage Approach and Financing

Each Homeowner Pays:• Mortgage • Mortgage Insurance• HOA dues

Three safeguards to avoid loan default:1. First 6 months of mortgage payments is held in reserve.2. Individual mortgage insurance.3. HOA mortgage insurance.

HOA / neighborhood moduleSub-HOA

housing unit

Blend of microcredit and home owners association concepts

HOA: 250-350 housing units

Sub-HOA: +/- 30 housing units

Designated size is critical to providing the social glue that makes the self-insured mortgage units work.

Concept and Development Planning for Stage 1-3:• Necessary to begin construction as soon as possible• Accept DCDA Development Plan for rest of Parcel 1• Affords DCDA more control over development• Flexibility to learn and improve as we go• Gauge market demand over time• Adjust unit mix based on social preferences

Overarching Design Objectives

Cohesive neighborhoods 250-350 households (1,500-2,100) people• Guarantees mortgage financially and socially

Semi-autonomous neighborhoods / HOA• Solar, sewerage, maintenance, mosque, kindergarten, neighborhood parks

Create unique neighborhood identities• Clear demarcation of neighborhood boundaries • Clear gateways.

Create a healthy and secure social fabric

Create an exemplary model that future phases can learn from and improve upon.

Create an urban framework that can adapt over time to changing economies, climate and architecture

Implement best practices in sustainable urbanism• Alternative energy production and conservation (solar, geothermal, wind, biomass, dark

skies, etc.)• Storm water and wastewater treatment and reuse• Economic and socially integrated neighborhoods

Capitalize of important views and natural features

Principles of Good Neighborhoods

Cultural facilities are organizing features• Mosque is the focal point of each neighborhood.• Mosques, schools, community centers are easily accessed by foot and

bicycle

Hierarchy of streets • Streets, drives, lanes, paseos promote connectivity• Complete streets (supports cars, pedestrians, bikes, horses, scooters,

landscape, buses, commerce, public gathering, etc.)• Commercial uses located along appropriate streets• Dwelling units located along appropriately scaled streets and open spaces• Efficiency of streets / public space to saleable lots and blocks

Hierarchy of open spaces• Connected network of public, semi-public and private parks and plazas• Natural open spaces integrated into land use pattern to maintain views,

connectivity and provide storm drainage• Connected pedestrian and bicycle network• Front public open spaces with appropriate uses

Hierarchy of residential densities and privacy

Diverse housing opportunities• a mix of dwelling unit sizes and typologies to support different

lifestyles and incomes

Principles of Good Neighborhoods

Mixed land use pattern• Support vibrant, active neighborhoods• Local retail and commercial uses to support daily needs• Business to provide jobs• Cultural and civic uses promote community• Institutional and services (schools, health centers, police, fire, etc.)

Residential walls balance privacy with the desire to create safe and comfortable public realm

Mitigate impact of the automobile• Anticipate increased automobile ownership in the future• Reserve land for future district parking, possibly combine with solar farm• Private parking at neighborhood periphery• Public parking at neighborhood periphery, dispersed in small lots

Transit facilities are centrally located and easily accessible • Light rail, city bus, corporate and government shuttle vans, private taxi/shuttle

services are easily accessed on foot or bicycle

Integrate storm water management into urban framework• Storing and reusing surface run-off and snowmelt run-off

Neighborhood Module Overview

Neighborhood Module Overview

Theoretical neighborhood models intended to test design principles

These are not final designs

These are tools to stimulate discussion

Concept modules are based upon ZBC building typologies

Evolving residential building design will influence neighborhood modules

Actual conditions on the ground will influence neighborhood design
