Item to be presented by: Armine Chaparyan
DATE: February 22, 2011
SUBJECT: RESOLUTIONS AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF AN
AFFORDABLE HOUSING REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AND CITY OF
SANTA CLARITA
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council:
1. Adopt a Resolution authorizing the execution of an'Affordable Housing Reimbursement
Agreement between the Redevelopment Agency and the City of Santa Clarita.
2. Appropriate $30,000 into CDBG Contractual Services, account 13311-5161.001, to fund the
environmental review for the Newhall Avenue Development.
Redevelopment Agency:
1. Adopt a Resolution authorizing the execution of an Affordable Housing Reimbursement
Agreement between the Redevelopment Agency and the City of Santa Clarita.
BACKGROUND
In 2006 the City of Santa Clarita (City) issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to identify
potential developers to work with on the development of an affordable housing development in
the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Clarita's. (Agency) Newhall Redevelopment
Project Area (Project Area). Because of their extensive experience and history of producing
high-quality developments, The Related Companies of California (Related) and National
Community Renaissance of California (CORE) were selected to work together with the City.
Over the last 5 years Related and CORE have worked diligently with City staff to identify
locations and funding for the desired affordable housing development. These efforts have
included multiple site plans and financial pro formas, negotiations with various property owners,
M
and fiscal and regulatory analysis.
The City/Agency is currently in the final stages of negotiation on a Development and Disposition
Agreement (DDA) with Related and CORE for Phase I of the proposed Newhall Avenue
Development - a high-quality family rental -housing development that will include common area
amenities such as a community recreation center and children's play area. All of the units are
expected to have affordability restrictions on the units through agreements between the
City/Agency and Developer, or agreements between the Developer and other funding entities.
Currently, Governor Brown's 2011-2012 budget proposal places at risk the Agency funding for
the project. Under the budget proposal, all funds in the Agency's Low and Moderate Income
Housing Fund ("LMIHF") would be taken from the Agency and given to the local housing
authority, which in this case is the County's housing authority. The proposed Affordable
Housing Reimbursement Agreement prevents this by:
Authorizing the City to act on behalf of the Agency for the specified funds and development;
Committing the Agency to pay the specified amounts to the project without which the project
would not be financially feasible; and
Allowing the City to use Agency funds to close the funding gap for the development, making
the project a reality.
Section 33220 of the California Health and Safety Code grants the Agency the power to authorize
the City to act in the Agency's place. The Affordable Housing Reimbursement Agreement and
Resolutions effectuate the purpose of this section by allowing the City to work with the
developer on the Newhall Avenue Development.The Agreement has been determined to be the
most effective means by which to ensure the project has the funds to go forward so that the City
will meet its State requirements for affordable housing development.
The City/Agency must meet State -mandated requirements to develop housing for households in
all income groups - including low- and moderate -income households. In order to create
affordable housing developments of this type, funding from local jurisdiction is critical. The
Agency's low/mod housing funds are restricted to uses that increase, improve, and preserve the
supply of housing for low- and moderate -income households, and are therefore well suited to be
used for the Newhall Avenue Development. The development of these units will be counted by
the State toward the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) requirements for affordable
housing units.
The Newhall Avenue Development is subject to environmental reveiw based on the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Funding for the NEPA and CEQA review will come from Neighborhood Stabilization funds and
Community Development Block Grant funds.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other actions as determined by the City Council or the Redevelopment Agency Board.
FISCAL IMPACT
The funds committed by the Affordable Housing Reimbursement Agreement are RDA low/mod
housing funds. These funds can only be used for activities that increase, improve, and preserve
the supply of housing for low- and moderate -income households. Upon approval of this item,
CDBG funds will be appropriated to fund the environmental review of the Newhall Avenue
Development. This item has no impact to the General Fund.
