Williams Homes, a local developer, has committed to be the Project Builder for the development and to donate in -kind services for architecture, design, and project management. WHEREAS, the City of Santa Clarita developed a Community Plan to Address Homelessness in 2018. One of the goals in the Community Plan to Address Homelessness is to acquire land for a Family Promise Resource Center and supportive housing development. Shortly after the Community Plan to Address Homelessness was developed; the City was awarded a $300,000 grant to assist with this goal. The $300,000 grant is set to expire on December 31, 2021. WHEREAS, the City identified 23652 Newhall Avenue (the "Property") as a feasible location for the Family Promise Resource Center and supportive housing development, which would include 4 affordable housing units and administrative office space for homeless clients. WHEREAS, the parties have negotiated a Disposition and Development Agreement, an Affordable Housing Regulatory Agreement, and a Grant Deed (the "Agreements") to transfer ownership of the property located at 23652 Newhall from the City of Santa Clarita to Family Promise SCV.

The consideration is not less than the fair reuse value at the use and with the covenants and conditions and development costs associated with the project, as detailed in the report prepared pursuant to Government Code Section 52201. In addition, the City Council finds that it is authorized to dispose of the Property pursuant to Government Code Sections 37364 and 54221. SECTION 3. Surplus Lands Act. The City Council hereby finds that pursuant to Government Code Section 54221(f)(1)(J), the Property is not "surplus land" subject to the Surplus Lands Act as currently in effect, because the Property will be developed for the City's use as identified in the Community Plan to Address Homelessness, specifically with affordable housing and a resource center.
