Approving a Section 108 Loan Guarantee Application for  
the amount not to exceed $2,000,000 from 935 Toledo,  
LLC, and 935 Lakshmi, LLC for systems, furniture,  
equipment and training costs for a new Delta Hotel by  
Marriott , located on the University of Toledo Medical  
Campus at 3100 Glendale Avenue, Toledo, Ohio;  
authorizing the submission of the Application to U.S.  
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)  
for Eligibility Determination and final approval of a HUD  
Section 108 loan guarantee; and declaring an  
emergency.  
O-379-24  
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:  
Body:  
This legislation provides approval of a Section 108 Loan Guarantee  
Application (“Application”) from Borrowers, 935 Toledo, LLC, and  
935, Lakshmi, LLC , for systems, furniture, equipment and training  
costs for a new Delta Hotel by Marriott located on the University of  
Toledo Medical Campus at 3100 Glendale Avenue, Toledo, Ohio;  
and, authority to the Mayor and Department of Housing and  
Community Development for submission of the Application to the U.S.  
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for Eligibility  
Determination and final underwriting and approval of a HUD Section  
108 Loan guarantee.  
The Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program (“Section 108 Loan”)  
allows Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement  
communities to leverage up to five times the annual CDBG allocation  
to fund economic development, public facilities, acquisition of real  
property and housing rehabilitation projects, by pledging future CDBG  
allocations for a HUD guaranteed loan. Entitlement communities can  
borrow Section 108 Loan funds for a project undertaken by the  
community (Level 1 Transaction); or, entitlement communities can  
borrow Section 108 Loan funds and lend funds to a borrower for an  
eligible income producing project (Level 2 Transaction). When HUD  
approves an application for a Section 108 loan guarantee, loan  
documents including a promissory note, are executed by the  
community and borrower. The Section 108 Loan is made by investors  
who purchase the HUD guaranteed promissory note or debt  
obligation, with the full “faith and credit” of the government, enabling  
financing at interest rates much lower than what is available  
conventionally. The Section 108 Loan program is typically used to  
Printed on 9/4/2024  
Page 2  
spur economic development in disinvested areas and jump-start  
neighborhood revitalization.  
Although entitlement communities pledge CDBG funds as collateral for  
Section 108 Loans, they do not necessarily use CDBG grant funds to  
pay off the loans. In the case of income producing projects, like the  
Delta Hotel by Marriott, revenue from the project is used to pay off  
the loan and additional collateral is provided by a real estate lien,  
assignment of rents, or personal or corporate guarantees by the  
applicant. Income producing projects must demonstrate the ability to  
pay off the loan by meeting HUD underwriting standards. including  
debt coverage ratio and loan to value of real estate. In the case of a  
public facilities projects, like community centers or infrastructure,  
CDBG can be used to pay off the loan and additional collateral from a  
non-tax revenue source must be pledge in the unlikely event that  
CDBG is not available to provide debt service on the Section 108  
Loan.  
Section 108 loans can be repaid over periods of up to 20 years.  
Section 108 loans are financed initially through an interim variable rate  
based on the three-month Treasury Action Bill rate. Periodically, HUD  
releases public offerings for permanent financing of Section 108 loans  
once a sufficient aggregate amount in loan guarantees has been  
awarded. Interest rates on loans funded by a public offering are fixed  
and based on U.S. Treasury borrowing rates. Projects funded with  
Section 108 loans must principally benefit low-moderate income  
persons through job creation, area benefit, or affordable housing.  
Pursuant to Ordinance 619-21, the City of Toledo submitted an  
application to HUD to establish a $37 million Section 108 Loan Pool.  
In March 2022 the City of Toledo received HUD approval for the $37  
million Section 108 Loan Pool. The Section 108 Loan Pool is available  
to the city for public facilities projects and owners of income producing  
properties to provide a ready source of long-term reasonably priced  
financing. Section 108 funded projects must also meet cross cutting  
federal requirements including Davis-Bacon labor standards and  
environmental reviews.  
The establishment of a Section 108 Loan Pool is a specific Year 1  
Implementation Action of Toledo Together, A Guiding Vision &  
Printed on 9/4/2024

10-Year Action Plan for Housing (Comprehensive Housing Strategy)  
unanimously adopted by the Toledo City Council. The establishment  
of a Section 108 Loan Pool supports the Comprehensive Housing  
Strategy goal of diversifying local funding sources to finance economic  
development and public facilities needs of Toledo.  
The financial impact of this Ordinance is the provision of capital for  
systems, furniture, equipment and training costs to the new Delta Hotel  
by Marriott; facilitate the creation of jobs and training opportunities in  
Toledo; and advance equitable development projects in an  
underserved neighborhood.

NEW ITEMS FROM COUNCIL  
Submitting to the Toledo City Plan Commission an amendment  
to TMC to add 1104.1205: Limitation of number of Dogs  
Permitted in City Limits, without a permit; authorizing a public  
hearing on said text amendment and publication of said hearing;  
and declaring an emergency.  
TMP-10555  
SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND:  
Body:  
The Toledo City Council proposes a text amendment to Toledo  
Municipal Code subsection  
1104.12, Animal Shelters and Kennels. Complaints have come into the  
city on a regular basis of homeowners having multiple dogs and also  
running “doggy daycares” in the neighborhood.  
Toledo City Council would like to request the Plan Commission study  
the benefits of and report  
Printed on 9/4/2024  
Page 4  
back on creating a special use permit that would permit the legal  
ownership of more than five dogs within the boundaries of the City of  
Toledo.  
The Council is looking to ensure citizens have a clear and concise  
understanding of their city’s code by adopting an explicit codification  
of regulations limiting the number of dogs an individual may own within  
city limits. The Council is also looking to enable citizens with more than  
the permitted number of dogs the opportunity to receive a special  
permit that would grant them an exception to the dog limit so long as  
certain criteria are met.  
Benefits of explicit dog limitations and the creation of a special permit:  
1. Explicit Codification: By codifying these regulations more  
explicitly, the city can more  
effectively enforce the rules, reducing reliance on external bodies like  
the Lucas County auditor. This would also help citizens better  
understand the regulations without needing specialized legal  
knowledge, ensuring greater transparency and compliance within the  
community.  
2. Limit Nuisances: Implementing a limitation on the number of dogs  
allowed per property  
could help mitigate these risks and ensure that potential disturbances,  
such as noise, waste management, and safety concerns, do not arise.  
3. Special Permit: Introducing a special permit for citizens who wish  
to have more than five dogs on their property offers a balanced  
solution. This permits individuals to legally exceed the general dog limit  
while ensuring that all necessary criteria and conditions are met, thus  
safeguarding the community from potential nuisances or safety  
concerns. The permit process would include checks to ensure the  
property can accommodate the additional dogs in a safe and sanitary  
manner, potentially including requirements for adequate space, waste  
management, and noise control.  
This proposed amendment aims to enhance the Toledo Municipal  
Code by offering citizens a  
clearer understanding, empowering the City of Toledo to more  
effectively address animal nuisances, and establishing a special permit  
Printed on 9/4/2024  
Page 5  
that allows residents to own more dogs than would be permitted by  
law by amending Chapter 1104 of the Toledo zoning code to include  
section 1104.1205, Number of Dogs Permitted in City Limits.

Declaring a Moratorium until January 31, 2025, on the review  
and issuance of any zoning permits, building permits, certificates  
of occupancy, or other licenses or permits for tobacco shops, in  
the City of Toledo; and declaring an emergency.  
TMP-10552  
SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND:  
Toledo City Council is initiating a study by the Toledo City Plan  
Commission to research the history and future establishment of  
tobacco shops in the City of Toledo, to examine the secondary effects  
that they have on city residents and city neighborhoods, in order to  
allow the city time to study the effects of such products on citizens and  
to determine whether the adoption of regulations relating to such  
products are warranted.  
The study will look into the impact of the proliferation of tobacco  
shops, on the public health and safety of citizens, and surrounding  
neighborhoods. The study will address whether there should be a basis  
for licensing, increased spacing from similar facilities and schools,  
parks, etc., or for additional standards. Additionally, the study will  
consider updating any City codes to ensure compliance with State of  
Ohio Laws.  
The City’s Plan Commission is requested to study a possible text  
amendment to better regulate tobacco shops in Toledo. The  
amendment could require licensing or additional Special Use Permit  
regulations to open a tobacco shop development. A moratorium on the  
issuance of zoning permits, building permits, certificates or occupancy,  
or other licenses or permits for tobacco shops in the City of Toledo is  
necessary to allow time for Council to review the Plan Commission  
report and hold appropriate hearings regarding the proposed changes  
to the zoning code.

Authorizing the Mayor to enter into and execute a Rebuilding

American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity  
(“RAISE”) Grant Agreement with the Ohio Department of  
Transportation and U.S. Department of Transportation for the  
Connecting Toledo Neighborhoods to Opportunity project;  
authorizing the Mayor to accept bids and award contracts  
related to the design portion of the project; authorizing the  
expenditure of $3,700,000 from the Capital Improvement Fund;  
authorizing the appropriation and expenditure of $800,000 from  
the Water Distribution Infrastructure Development Fund;  
authorizing the appropriation and expenditure of $1,200,000  
from the Sewer Distribution Infrastructure Development Fund;  
and declaring an emergency.  
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:  
Body:  
The Department of Economic Development, in collaboration with  
community and economic development partners, applied for a  
Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity  
(RAISE) discretionary grant through the U.S. Department of  
Transportation (USDOT) for the Connecting Toledo Neighborhoods  
to Opportunity (CTNO) project.  
The CTNO project is a comprehensive $52.9 million initiative focused  
on modernizing public infrastructure in Toledo, Ohio's disadvantaged  
Junction, Englewood, and Uptown neighborhoods. These historically  
marginalized, majority-Black communities have endured decades of  
disinvestment and detrimental transportation policies, particularly the  
construction of Interstate 75, which effectively isolated them from the  
city’s downtown core. The CTNO project aims to address these

Page 17  
long-standing challenges by implementing bicycle and pedestrian  
infrastructure improvements, enhancing public transit, and introducing  
green streetscapes. These upgrades are designed to improve safety,  
mobility, and connectivity, particularly for the area’s most  
disadvantaged residents, while also supporting the growth of the  
Uptown Toledo Social Innovation District. In doing so, the project  
seeks to foster equitable economic opportunities and revitalize these  
once-thriving neighborhoods.  
In June 2023, the City was awarded a $20 million RAISE Grant for  
the CTNO project. Toledo Municipal Code §929.21 established the  
Sanitary Sewer Infrastructure Development Fund (aka the 2% Sewer  
Fund) and Toledo Municipal Code §933.11 established the Water  
Infrastructure Development Fund (aka the 2% Water Fund) for the  
purpose of improving sewer and water infrastructure systems. This is a  
city project located within the public right-of-way, managed by the  
City of Toledo and will include project costs such as design and  
construction. Design work is set to begin in 2025 and is expected to  
be completed by the end of 2026. Construction will be divided into  
four phases, beginning in 2027 and concluding in 2030.  
This ordinance authorizes the necessary funding to complete the design  
phase of the CTNO project.

and Declaring an Emergency.  
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:  
Body:  
The Toledo-Lucas County Plan Commissions, in collaboration with the  
Lucas County Land Bank, Board of Lucas County Commissioners,  
the City of Toledo Mayor, and Toledo City Council initiated an  
Exploratory Assessment to provide insight into the existing conditions  
and strategic opportunities for the Toledo region. Guiding the

Page 18  
priorities: maintaining the interconnectedness of the city, inclusive of all  
its diverse cultures, neighborhoods, and residents; transforming  
potential liabilities into assets; leveraging and building interconnected  
systems to foster mutually beneficial outcomes and shared  
responsibilities; learning from historical decisions, particularly those that  
resulted in negative outcomes; and building a city first and foremost for  
people, emphasizing inclusion, equity, public health and empowerment  
to ensure that systems benefit all with an intentional focus on the  
lingering impacts of historical injustices. The conditions analysis  
revealed little diversity in land use types, significant public ownership of  
land, property delinquency, and challenges with mobility throughout the  
city, particularly for low-income families and people with disabilities.  
The plans extensive framework is designed to guide the development  
and planning of Toledo for the next decade and beyond, reflecting our  
community's vision for the future of Toledo. The document represents  
more than three years of work and the collective input of thousands of  
Toledoans. The plan was created by the Toledo-Lucas County Plan  
Commissions staff, with extensive input from city administration,  
Toledo City Council, and various executive committees.  
The development of the Forward Toledo Plan was heavily influenced  
by a 9-month public input process. This input shaped the plan by  
prioritizing strategies around public feedback, including: 1. Increase  
Connectivity and Walkability: Enhancing city-wide accessibility through  
better infrastructure; 2. Housing Diversity and Affordability: Expanding  
housing options to meet diverse needs; 3.  
Economic and Business  
Development: Supporting local businesses and economic revitalization;  
and 4. Environmental Sustainability: Advancing green initiatives and  
sustainable practices.  
The Toledo City Plan Commission adopted the Forward Toledo  
Comprehensive Land Use Plan on July 9, 2024, and Toledo City  
Council desires to formally adopt this Plan as the official  
Comprehensive Master Plan for the City of Toledo.
