COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING COMMISSION ACTION At its regular meeting on August 17, 2010, by a vote of 4:0, (Verino absent), the Community Redevelopment and Housing Commission (Commission) recommended that the City Council authorize execution of loan agreements with Santa Ana WBBB, LP for properties located at 217-219 South Birch Street, 435-437 South Birch Street, and 2034-2038 Bush Street. The Commission also recommended that the Community Redevelopment Agency adopt a resolution approving a Disposition and Development Agreement between the Community Redevelopment Agency and Orange Housing Development Corporation and C&C Development (Developer) for the development of affordable, multi-family units at 217-219 South Birch, 435-437 South Birch, and 2034-2038 Bush Streets and authorized execution of loan agreements with Santa Ana WBBB, LP for properties located at 217-219 South Birch, 435-437 South Birch Street, and 2034-2038 Bush Street as outlined in the attached staff report (Exhibit 6). DISCUSSION A key objective of the Redevelopment Agency is to expand and preserve affordable housing. Staff were directed in December 2009 to negotiate a Disposition Development Agreement (DDA) with the developers resulting from a Request for Qualifications for both single family and multi-family residential units on properties owned by the Agency. Orange Housing Development Corporation (OHDC), a non-profit 501(c)(3), and C&C Development (C&C), a for-profit developer, was selected as developer for the multi-family housing parcels. They will form a Limited Partnership named Santa Ana WBBB, LP for financing purposes. Negotiations are now concluded and we are prepared to move forward with the DDA. Under the proposed DDA, the Agency will convey three of the four multi-family sites. The proposed project includes 217-219 South Birch (Exhibit 1), 435-437 South Birch (Exhibit 2) and 2034-2038 Bush (Exhibit 3). The units will all be affordable to very low-income households (50% AMI). The 8OA-2 DDA and Loan Agreements - Bush and Birch Street Properties September 7, 2010 Page 3 beginning rents will be $989 for two-bedrooms and $1,125 for three bedrooms. Site plans and elevations for the three sites are attached as Exhibit 4. The fourth multi-family site is a freeway widening remnant parcel at the corner of 22nd and Spurgeon. The developer is still exploring options for this site. Once the development is determined, staff will bring it before the Agency for approval. In accordance with redevelopment law, a Summary of Sale has been prepared by Keyser Marston Associates, which outlines in detail the financial terms of the proposed transaction. A summary of the terms and conditions contained in the proposed Disposition and Development Agreement are as follows: The Agreement requires the Developer to construct a total of 15 apartment units, as follows: • 2034-2038 North Bush Street: The Developer must construct two 2-bedroom units and three 3-bedroom units for a total of five units; • 217-219 South Birch Street: The Developer must construct two 2-bedroom units and three 3-bedroom units for a total of five units; and • 435-437 South Birch Street: The Developer must construct two 2-bedroom units and three 3-bedroom units for a total of five units. The income and affordability restrictions are defined as follows: • All 15 units must be reserved for very low income (50% Area Median Income) households; and • The income and affordability covenants must remain in place for at least 55 years. Terms of Loans: • Two loans per property ( Agency Loan and City Loan); • Repayable from the cash flow (Residual Receipts) generated by the Project; • Each Agency Loan will accrue .5% (one half percent) simple interest annually; and • Loans are 55 years. In order to fund the construction, the partnership will apply for tax exempt bonds and tax credits. The Mortgage Revenue Bond Inducement is on the agenda as a separate item for approval. The bond application will combine these projects with the proposed development on 605-611 East Washington. In addition to these funds, the project will require both City and Redevelopment Agency funds. Below is a summary of the sources and uses of the project funds. 8OA-3 DDA and Loan Agreements - Bush and Birch Street Properties September 7, 2010 Page 4 Sources 217-219 S. Birch 435-437 S.

Once this process is completed, the Developer will submit its application to the various state funding agencies. The Developer proposes to submit for tax credits and bonds in November 2010 assuming the properties have all completed the site plan review process. Construction of these units will assist the City and Agency in meeting the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) goals identified in the Housing Element, Consolidated Plan and the Implementation Plan.
