COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT Item 7 Meeting Date 1/6/87 ITEM TITLE: Resolution//~mc~ Approving Housing Cooperation Agreement with Church and G, Limited for affordable senior housing units SUBMITTED BY: Community Development Directo~ REVIEWED BY: City Manageq~~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes__No X ) On May 28, 1985, the City Council approved Conditional Use Permit No. PCC-85-17 and took other zoning actions which provided for the development of Oak Terrace Apartments, an increased density, 36-unit senior apartment project located at 423 Church Avenue. The Senior Housing Development Policy under which the project was approved requires that the project units be restricted to occupancy by and be affordable to low-income senior tenants. An agreement assuring that tenancy is required and has been prepared. An occupancy permit will not be issued for the development until this agreement is executed. RECOMMENDATION: That the Council adopt the resolution approving the Housing Cooperation Agreement with Church & G, Limited controlling occupancy of Oak Terrace units. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: On April 10, 1985, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended the development of Oak Terrace for low-income senior housing. DISCUSSION: The Senior Housing Development Policy applies to senior rental projects receiving density bonuses and/or other development standards waivers through a conditional use permit under Chapter 19 of the City Zoning Text. In summary, the policy, which is designed to assure that the project is established and maintained for exclusive use of low-income seniors, requires that: 1. Tenants be 60 years of age or over. 2. Tenants incomes be at or below 80% of median income. 3. Tenant income be certified. 4. Rental rates be at or below applicable Section 8 Fair Market Rents levels. 5. The above conditions apply for a period of 25 years. The attached Housing Cooperation Agreement has been designed to assure compliance with the conditions of the Senior Housing Development Policy. This agreement is substantially the same as other density bonus agreements executed by the City. This document would be recorded and run with the land. Page 2, Item 7 Meeting Date 1/6/87 The Housing Cooperation Agreement stipulates that the property owner/property management company must certify the tenants using the Supplemental Rental Application attached to the agreement, attest to tenant eligibility on the supplemental application, and keep records on those certifications which would be available to the City. The County would also be reviewing qualifications of the tenants. To monitor the project's compliance, the City would require the project to submit annually a certified (notarized) rent roll which identified all tenant households and their incomes. The Agreement gives the City the right to audit the project records if discrepancies are suspected. FISCAL IMPACT: Minor staff costs to be paid from the Redevelopment Agency Low and Moderate-Income Housing Fund are associated with this action. · b~ the City Council of Chula Vista, California
