BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHICAGO:
SECTION 1. The City Council hereby approves the sale of the Property to the Developer for the amount of One Dollar ($1.00) per Parcel (i.e., $7.00 for the entire Property).
SECTION 2. The Commissioner or the Deputy Commissioner of the Department are each authorized to execute any ancillary closing documents on behalf of the City.
SECTION 3. The Mayor or his proxy is authorized to execute, and the City Clerk or the Deputy City Clerk is authorized to attest, one or more quitclaim deeds conveying the Property to the Developer. The quitclaim deed shall contain language substantially in the following form (modified, as necessary, if the land that is the subject of the deed is less than the entire Property):
- The Developer must construct a single-family home on each Parcel of the Property; provided however, that only one single-family home shall be constructed on the Drake Parcels (for a total of six (6) homes). The construction of each home must be completed within eighteen (18) months of the date on which the City conveys the Parcel on which such home will be constructed, unless the Commissioner of the City's Department of Planning and Development (the "Department") extends, in writing, such completion date. The date on which the construction of a home is completed is the "Completion Date" for such home.
- The Developer must sell each home within twelve (12) months following the Completion Date for such home to a homebuyer whose household income, on the date such homebuyer signs his/her Homebuyer Income Qualification Application (such application will be provided by the Department), adjusted for family size, does not exceed one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the Chicago Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area median income, as determined by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (a "Qualified Resident"). The Commissioner of the Department may approve in writing an extension of such twelve (12) month timeframe The Developer shall submit a completed Homebuyer Income Qualification Application, or such other documentation as the Department may reasonably require, to the Department for review and approval. The Department must approve the homebuyer's income eligibility prior to the Developer's sale of the Property. The Developer's sales price for each home may not exceed One Hundred Ninety-Nine Thousand Dollars ($199,000), without the prior written approval of the Commissioner of the Department.
- The home must be the homebuyer's Principal Residence. "Principal residence" means an owner's primary or chief residence that the owner actually occupies on a regular basis. A "Principal residence" does not include any housing unit used as an investment property, as a recreational home or a home in which 15% or more of its total
area is used for a trade or business. The date on which the Developer sells a home to a homebuyer is the "Closing Date" for such home.
- For each home, during the five (5) year period commencing on the Closing Date, any buyer of such home must be a Qualified Resident, as determined by the Department, and such home must be such buyer's Principal Residence.
- Solely with respect to the parcels commonly known as 1122 N. Christiana and 1144 N. Christiana, Chicago, Illinois, such parcels must be used in accordance with the Division/Homan Redevelopment Plan approved by the City Council of the City of Chicago, on June 27, 2001, as may be amended from time to time, until such plan expires.
- The City makes no covenant, representation or warranty, express or implied, of any kind, as to the structural, physical or environmental condition of the Property or the suitability of the Property for any purpose whatsoever, and the Developer agrees to accept the Property in its "as is," "where is" and "with all faults" condition.
- The Developer hereby waives and releases, and indemnifies the City from and against, any claims and liabilities relating to or arising from the structural, physical or environmental condition of the Property, including, without limitation, claims arising under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended ("CERCLA"), and shall undertake and discharge all liabilities of the City arising from any structural, physical or environmental condition that existed on the Property prior to the Closing, including, without limitation, liabilities arising under CERCLA. The Developer hereby acknowledges that, in purchasing the Property, the Developer is relying solely upon its own inspection and other due diligence activities and not upon any information (including, without limitation, environmental studies or reports of any kind) provided by or on behalf of the City or its agents or employees with respect thereto. If, after the Closing, the structural, physical and environmental condition of the Property is not in all respects entirely suitable for its intended use, it shall be the Developer's sole responsibility and obligation to take such action as is necessary to put the Property in a condition which is suitable for its intended use.
SECTION 4. The transfer of title of the Property from the City to the Developer must close on or before the date that is eighteen (18) months after the date of publication of this ordinance (the "Outside Closing Date"), unless the Commissioner in his sole discretion extends the Outside Closing Date. This ordinance shall be null and void with respect to any portion of the Property that has not yet been transferred to the Developer by the Outside Closing Date, as may be extended.
SECTION 5. If any provision of this ordinance shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect any of the other provisions of this ordinance.
SECTION 6. All ordinances, resolutions, motions or orders inconsistent with this ordinance are hereby repealed to the extent of such conflict.
SECTION 7. This ordinance shall take effect upon its passage and approval.
