PUBLIC HEAR1NG
1. CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE ISSUANCE OF TAX
EXEMPT OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPOSED RANCHO VISTA
APARTMENTS AT EASTLAKE
The City has received a request from CIC Eastlake, L.P. to consider the issuance of tax-
exempt obligations to finance the development of a 150-unit affordable housing complex
within the EastLake master planned community. The proposed Rancho Vista Apartments
at EastLake project is located on a vacant 8.25-acre site located on the east side of the
future Eastlake Parkway, approximately 3,000 feet south of Clubhouse Drive. The
Redevelopment Agency and City have received a request for financial assistance for the
project. (Community Development Director)
Notice of the hearing was given in accordance with legal requirements, and the hearing was held
on the date and at the time specified in the notice.
Chair/Mayor Padilla opened the public hearing.
Community Development Director Madigan informed the Council that an alternative proposal
for affordable housing at the Olympic Training Center has come forward and is currently under
discussion, although she recommended that the Council/Agency/Authority proceed to take action
on the Rancho Vista project at this time. She indicated that the alternative proposal would be
brought forward in May, at which time the Council/Agency/Authority may decide with which
project to proceed. Chair/Mayor Padilla asked if, by moving forward with the Rancho Vista
project at this time, the Council/Agency/Authority would limit any of its options with regard to
the Olympic Training Center project. Ms. Madigan responded negatively.
PUBLIC HEARINGS (Continued)
Community Development Specialist Hines presented the proposed project, project schedule,
financing considerations, and actions requested of the Council/Agency/Authority at this time.
Don Lake expressed concern about the lack of low-cost housing and believed staff should study
veterans' preferences, single-room occupancies, and two-master-bedroom floor plans to be
shared by two adults.
There being no one else from the audience wishing to speak, Chair/Mayor Padilla closed the
hearing.
Councilmember Davis commented that the Rancho Vista project is important and should come to
fruition, regardless of the possible Olympic Training Center project.
