B. Pursuant to applicable law the Redevelopment Agency established a Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund (the "Housing Fund ") and acquired certain property with the purpose of using such property for the provision of affordable housing. C. By ABx1 26 enacted by the California Legislature during 2011 (as amended from time to time, the "Dissolution Act "), the California Legislative eliminated every redevelopment agency within the State of California, including the Redevelopment Agency. D. The Dissolution Act provides, in part, that the host city of a redevelopment agency was to designate a housing entity to receive the housing assets of the former redevelopment agency within such city. E. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana ( "City ") designated the Santa Ana Housing Authority (the "Authority ") as the housing entity to receive the housing assets of the former Redevelopment Agency. F. The Redevelopment Agency utilized moneys from its Housing Fund in connection with the acquisition of certain sites, delineated as follows: Resolution No. 2016 -002 Page 1 of 5 (i) 710 E. 6th Street, consisting of approximately 0. 14 acres, APN 398- 334-03; (ii) 714 E. 6th Street, consisting of approximately 0.14 acres, APN 398 - 334 -04; (iii) 720 E. 6th Street, consisting of approximately 0.14 acres, APN 398 - 334 -05; (iv) 415 S.

Raitt Street, consisting of approximately 0.57 acres, APN 007 - 273 -14 (collectively referred to herein as the "Properties "). G. Pursuant to the Dissolution Act, the Authority prepared and the California Department of Finance approved a Housing Asset Transfer Form, which listed the housing assets of the Redevelopment Agency eligible and required to be transferred to the Authority. The Properties were included on the approved Housing Asset Transfer Form. H. The Properties are not suitable for use by the Authority. However, the City believes that the Properties will be useful in pursuing the public purpose activities of the City. I. The Authority is authorized to transfer the Properties to the City pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 34312.3(b). J. The respective staffs of the City and the Authority have reviewed the fair market value of the Properties, as aggregated, and have concluded that the value of such Properties are consistent with the purchase prices as set forth in the draft "Purchase and Sale Agreement' in the form submitted to the City and the Authority concurrently herewith (the "Agreement').

L. A joint public hearing of the Authority and City Council on the proposed Agreement was duly noticed in accordance with Health and Safety Code Sections 33431 and 34312.3(b). M.

Section 2. The Authority hereby finds and determines that the disposition by sale of the Properties by the Authority pursuant to the Agreement will further the achievement of the Authority's affordable housing objectives by generating resources to the Authority, which will be used for a housing project pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 34312.3(b).
