Developers say LIHTC financing and local marketing should deliver mostly local renters; commissioners request documentation

David Brint, a development representative, presented lease‑up data from a comparable project and said "just under 90%" of tenants came from Park City or Summit County, which he and the applicant team argued supports the project's aim to house local workers.

Sarah Weinman, Park City housing manager, explained LIHTC (referred to in the hearing as LITEC) constraints and said outreach, early marketing and waitlists were effective at prior projects: "There are provisions that we can put in place for priorities, but we can't discriminate against fair housing laws," Weinman said, adding that non‑LIHTC unrestricted units could be prioritized differently.

Commissioners welcomed the data but requested written documentation of the Engine House leasing results and clarification of how the unrestricted 18 units would be administered and whether the city could secure prioritization through the public‑private partnership agreement. The commission directed staff to include this information in the next submittal so the commission can make findings on housing mitigation and MPD consistency.
