SUSSEX COUNTY RENTAL PROGRAM
DEVELOPER APPLICATION
Background and Purpose
Sussex County seeks the creation of a full range of housing choices conveniently located in
suitable living environments for its residents of low and moderate income. In furtherance of
this objective, on December 9, 2008 the Sussex County Council (the “Council”) passed
Ordinance No. 2016 entitled “An Ordinance to Amend Chapter 72 of the Code of Sussex
County Relating to Moderately Priced Housing Units to Establish an Affordably Priced
Rental Unit Program, as amended” (the “Sussex County Rental Program”, or the “SCRP”).
After reviewing market conditions and receiving stakeholder input, the Council passed an
amendment to the SCRP on November 1, 2016, known as Ordinance No. 2474 (the
“Ordinance”). The Ordinance promulgates rules and regulations for a program having as its
goal the creation of affordable rental units. The Ordinance addresses program
administration, zoning, processing, residency requirements, purchase, sale, resale, financing,
ownership, transfer and enforcement and can be found with its amendment
at sussexcountyde.gov under the “Government” tab.
The SCRP Application Process
1. Schedule a preliminary meeting with the Department of Community Development
& Housing (the “Department”) for orientation to the Program, determine project
eligibility, and to receive application materials
2. Schedule follow-up meetings as necessary to ensure completeness of application
3. Submit application when completed to the Department for review
4. Once approved, the project may move on to the Planning & Zoning Commission
Applicants desiring to participate in the application process must schedule a meeting with
the Director and Housing Coordinator of Community Development & Housing for
orientation and to receive guidelines and application materials. There is no deadline for
which to turn in the completed application. The Applicant may schedule additional
meetings with the Department as necessary.
Applications are to have Exhibit B attached hereto as its cover sheet and completed to
indicate that all required information is included. Applicants should work with Department
staff to ensure their application is complete prior to submission. Incomplete submissions will
Form Updated April 2020 Page 2 of 7
be returned. Submissions should be simply and concisely presented. Elaborate or costly plans,
renderings or models are not permitted and may not be accepted.
Applicants are to submit four (4) complete copies of the information identified in Exhibit A
to the Department at the following address:
Department of Community Development & Housing
Attn: Housing Coordinator
22215 DuPont Boulevard
P.O. Box 589
Georgetown, DE 19947
After verification that all required information is included, submissions will be reviewed by
the Departments of Community Development & Housing and Planning & Zoning (the
“Departments”). The Departments will review the submissions and determine how the
proposals respond to the Ordinance and to the intent of the Program. Upon review of
Applicant’s submission, the Department of Community Development & Housing shall issue
a letter to Applicant stating whether it meets all of the eligibility requirements for the
program. A copy of the eligibility letter shall be provided to the Department of Planning &
Zoning. A written report on the Department’s findings and recommendations will be
provided to County Council.
Following the approval process, Applicants may submit proposed projects to all state and
local agencies in accordance with all applicable regulatory procedures. The Program does
not automatically modify the approval process for site plans or subdivisions, although, as
stated in the Ordinance, Council may, in its discretion, modify zoning, zoning criteria and
zoning processes to achieve the objectives of the SCRP.
Qualifications
The County Council may modify or terminate this process at any point that it deems it is in
the best interest of the County to do so. The County reserves the right to reject any proposal
that it deems not to be in compliance with the application process.
Developers that have already completed the Planning & Zoning process may apply to the
Sussex County Rental Program. However, the Applicant must be in full compliance with all
conditions of the Ordinance to participate. The Applicant will not receive bonus density or an
expedited review for participation, as the Planning & Zoning process is already finalized.
No legal obligations of any kind with respect to any property will be created by this
application process except as stated herein. Legal obligations will only be created upon
Applicant’s execution of an Acknowledgement of SCRP Participation Agreement which
Applicant shall be required to execute upon application to SCRP in order to receive the
benefit of expedited review under the Ordinance. The Acknowledgement of SCRP
Participation Agreement, including the terms of the SCRP Agreement attached thereto, shall
automatically become binding if Applicant participates in the expedited review process and
Form Updated April 2020 Page 3 of 7
receives of all public approvals. Applicant shall also execute the SCRP Agreement upon
receipt of all public approvals.
Applicants are responsible for all costs associated with participation in this process and bear
all risks associated with changes in or termination of the process.
Applicants are advised to thoroughly familiarize themselves with all elements and
mechanics of the Ordinance.
Questions should be directed to Brandy Nauman, Housing Coordinator, Department of
Community Development & Housing at (302) 855-7779 or bnauman@sussexcountyde.gov.
