Subdivision 1.Use of loans; conditions.

A city may also include in the housing plan, a program or programs to administer, and make or purchase a loan or loans to finance one or more multifamily housing developments within its boundaries, of the kind described in subdivision 2, 3, 4 or 7, and upon the conditions set forth in this section. A loan may be made or purchased for:

(a) the acquisition and preparation of a site and the construction of a new development;

(b) the rehabilitation of an existing building and site and the discharge of any lien or other interest in the building and site;

(c) for the acquisition of an existing building and site and the rehabilitation thereof;

(d) for the acquisition of an existing building and site for purposes of conversion to limited equity cooperative ownership by low or moderate income families;

(e) for the acquisition, or acquisition and improvement, of an existing building and site by a nonprofit corporation which will operate the building as a multifamily housing development for rental primarily to elderly or disabled persons; or

(f) the taking out of accumulated equity in connection with a program of federal insurance for the preservation of low-income housing.

With respect to loans made or purchased pursuant to clause (b) or (c), the cost of rehabilitation of an existing building must be estimated to equal at least $1,000 per dwelling unit or 20 percent of the appraised value of the original building and site whichever is less, except that with respect to rehabilitation which consists primarily of improvement of the property with facilities or improvements to conserve energy or convert or retrofit for use of alternative energy sources, rehabilitation loans may be made without regard to cost; and at least a substantial portion of such rehabilitation cost must be estimated to be incurred for compliance with building codes or conservation of energy.

Each development upon completion shall comply with all applicable code requirements. A loan or loans may be made or purchased for either the construction or the long-term financing of a development, or both, including the financing of the acquisition of dwelling units and interests in common facilities provided therein, by persons to whom such units and facilities may be sold as contemplated in chapter 515, 515A, or 515B, or any supplemental or amendatory law thereof or as contemplated for a development consisting of cooperative housing.

Substantially all of the proceeds of each loan shall be used to pay the cost of a multifamily housing development, including property functionally related and subordinate to it; but nothing herein prevents the construction or acquisition of the development over, under, or adjacent to, and in conjunction with facilities to be used for purposes other than housing.
