<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:#201F1E;background:white">Land Trusts: This is the initial presentation of an intended series on tools and solutions for some of the issues facing neighborhoods. Durham Community Land Trust
(DCLT)was created in 1987 to address the cycle of deterioration in west end communities -- primarily West End, Burch Avenue and Lyon Park. The point is to have development without displacement. A community land trust is a non-profit corporation to acquire
and hold land for the benefit of the community, mainly for affordable housing, but may also be for community gardens, commercial needs and other purposes. The affordable housing can be ownership or rental. Boards of land trusts general have tripartite structure
(residents, community members and members of the general public). Houses are generally sold with the land retained by the trust in order to “recycle” affordability and the subsidy. They renovate housing they acquire to make the housing attractive, energy-efficient,
and so on. The model also builds community power and connection; they raise up people who can speak for the neighborhood. Improving the neighborhood also attracts private investment; for example, businesses often start thriving nearby. DCLT can no longer
afford to expand in the west end communities, and they are now acquiring and renovating units in Southside and NE Central Durham. Some things to look for to evaluate opportunity areas for land trust growth include city and county land and “heir properties,”
and land banks (holding land while gathering funds to renovate) can be a useful tool. They need to balance wealth-creation for one owner and the affordability to the next. The Land Trust tool ideally stands with regulatory controls and other mechanisms.
Obviously with all the gentrification, the mission of the Land Trust is getting harder. One of the ways the land trust supports its residents is teaching basic them maintenance skills.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

with Duke University about their rezoning to University Campus. The properties would have a development plan, but Duke’s idea of a development plan is basically an outline, with nothing about what the use might be. Duke wants consistency across their properties,
and it is more convenient for them to get them all done at once, although they don’t know what they want to do with each property. The neighborhood is concerned about things like traffic flow and will be looking at how “committed elements” could limit impacts
to the neighborhood. We are also concerned about other pieces of their re-zoning effort.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

</b>building. There are single-family homes on the other (east) side of Lasalle, which would then be a target for more intensity. The developer would put a 5-story apartment building with a large number of affordable housing. This may be another case where
Council will use a development agreement (which is a nicely flexible tool, but has concerns about transparency and public process). The current zoning is industrial.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
