Quantity is one each per CLIN. Background and description of requirement: In the absence of very substantial public contributions, the only way for private real estate development to occur is if there is a market for the product and if the capital employed in the development, operation, and maintenance of the developed property will achieve a return on investment at levels dictated by the marketplace. Similarly, private developers must appreciate that public officials and employees are engaged in activities mandated by law and supported by a broad base of the public that includes the real estate community as well as the general citizenry. CLIN 0001 is intended to familiarize government employees and officials, at the national, state, and local levels, whose decisions and work impact the real estate industry and real estate development, with the kinds of problems faced in the development process and whether things that the government can do, can either encourage development that the government thinks is desirable or diminish the constraints and costs that government processes can place on the development of real estate. The training course must address the interactions of the following: 1) environmental regulations (e.g., Brownfields, RCRA, UST, EIS, wetlands, etc.); 2) land use regulation, in general (e.g., zoning, historical preservation); 3) general local requirements (e.g., building regulations, demolition permits, plan review and building permits, inspections, traffic); 4) private finance; 6) public finance and expenditures; and, 7) taxes.
