3. AGENCY RESOLUTION NO. 1809, RESOLUTION OF THE REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCY OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA APPROPRIATING $1,510,000 FROM
THE AVAILABLE BALANCE IN THE LOW AND MODERATE INCOME
HOUSING FUND FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO MAiN PLAZA, L.P. FOR
THE DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATION OF MAIN PLAZA
On August 14, 2001, the City Council and Redevelopment Agency held a joint meeting
and approved loan agreements, the affordable housing agreements, and financial
assistance in the amount of $1,510,000 from the Low and Moderate Income Housing
Fund to Main Plaza, L.P. The Main Plaza project is located on the northeast comer of
Main Street and Broadway, within the Southwest Redevelopment Project Area and the
Montgomery Specific Plan, and is a mixed-use project comprised of 106 affordable
multi-family units and 15,000 square feet of retail commercial space. The term of
affordability has been set at 55 years. During the close of the fiscal year 2001-2002
budget cycle, the previously approved $1,510,000 was not rolled over into the current
2002-2003 fiscal year and was returned to the fund balance. In order to release the funds
to Main Plaza, L.P., the $1,510,000 needs to be appropriated from the available balance
in the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund into the current budget. (Community
