3. The governing body may approve such an application for conveyance if the nonprofit organization demonstrates to the satisfaction of the governing body that the organization or its assignee will use the property to develop affordable housing. If the governing body receives more than one application for conveyance of the property, the governing body must give priority to an application of a nonprofit organization that demonstrates to the satisfaction of the governing body that the organization or its assignee will use the property to develop affordable housing for persons who are disabled or elderly.
4. If the governing body approves an application for conveyance, it may convey the property to the nonprofit organization without consideration. Such a conveyance must not be in contravention of any condition in a gift or devise of the property to the city.
5. As a condition to the conveyance of the property pursuant to subsection 4, the governing body shall enter into an agreement with the nonprofit organization that requires the nonprofit organization or its assignee to use the property to provide affordable housing for at least 50 years. If the nonprofit organization or its assignee fails to use the property to provide affordable housing pursuant to the agreement, the governing body may take reasonable action to return the property to use as affordable housing, including, without limitation:
(a) Repossessing the property from the nonprofit organization or its assignee.
(b) Transferring ownership of the property from the nonprofit organization or its assignee to another person or governmental entity that will use the property to provide affordable housing.
6. The agreement required by subsection 5 must be recorded in the office of the county recorder of the county in which the property is located and must specify:
(a) The number of years for which the nonprofit organization or its assignee must use the property to provide affordable housing; and
(b) The action that the governing body will take if the nonprofit organization or its assignee fails to use the property to provide affordable housing pursuant to the agreement.
7. A governing body that has conveyed property pursuant to subsection 4 shall:
(a) Prepare annually a list which includes a description of all property conveyed to a nonprofit organization pursuant to this section; and
(b) Include the list in the annual audit of the city which is conducted pursuant to NRS 354.624 .
8. If, 5 years after the date of a conveyance pursuant to subsection 4, a nonprofit organization or its assignee has not commenced construction of affordable housing, or entered into such contracts as are necessary to commence the construction of affordable housing, the property that was conveyed automatically reverts to the city.
9. A governing body may subordinate the interest of the city in property conveyed pursuant to subsection 4 to a first or subsequent holder of a mortgage on that property to the extent the governing body deems necessary to promote investment in the construction of affordable housing.
10. As used in this section, unless the context otherwise requires:
(a) “Affordable housing” has the meaning ascribed to it in NRS 278.0105 .
