Drive and Crossroads Street within the Winding Walk master planned community. To

of $39 million in ta, exempt obligations by its Housing Authority and execution of a loan
agreement for $2.4 million of HOME funds.

that the proposed project was adequately covered in previously adopted Final Second
7-1

Page 2 of6
Tier Environmental Impact Report, EIR 01-02. Thus, no further CEQA review or
documentation is necessary. Additionally, due to the use of federal funds the
Environmental Review Coordinator will review the proposed project for compliance with
the National Environmental Policy Act (NEP A) prior to commencement of construction of
the project.
RECOMMEI'mATION
The City Council hold the public hearing and adopt the resolutions.
BOARDS/COJ\iIMISSION RECOMMENDATION
On January 28, 2009, the Housing Advisory Commission voted to recommend the
development of The Landings II at Winding Walk as an affordable rental community and
the conditional approval of HOME funds to assist in its financing.
On August 1, 2005, the Design Review Committee (DRC) reviewed and approved the
proposed site plans and architectural elevations for the Project.
DISCUSSION
Back...crround
Brookfield Shea Otay, LLC, master developer for Otay Ranch Village II (aka Winding
Walk), is required to provide 207 total affordable units (92 low-income and 115
moderate-income) within its Neighborhood R-19 in satisfaction of its obligations under
the City's Balanced Communities Policy of the Housing Element. The Landings
apartment development, located on the northeast corner of Eastlake Parkway and
Discovery Falls Road, was completed by Chelsea Investment Corporation and provides
92 affordable rental units for lower income households.
The remaining balance of the affordable housing obligation (115 units) was contemplated
as affordable housing for moderate income households. Due to the current fmancial
climate, the project is infeasible for moderate income households.
In order to satisfY the moderate income obligation and to obtain necessary fmancing for a
project, Brookfield Shea has alternatively proposed the construction of a l43-unit rental
development affordable for lower income households, known as The Landings II (the
"Project"). They are proposing to partner with Chelsea Investment Corporation ("CIC")
to construct and operate the Project. It will be located on the adjoining lot to the 92-unit
Landings I Affordable Apartments constructed and completed in November 2008. For
purposes of this report Landings I will refer to the 92-unit affordable rental development
completed in 2008 and Landings II will refer to the proposed 143-unit development
which is the subject of the requested actions.
CIC is currently in the process of securing fmancing for the Project and has requested
direct financial assistance from the City and that the Housing Authority consider the
issuance of ta'\ exempt obligations. On February 3, 2009, the City Council adopted
Resolution No. 2009-019 conditionally approving financial assistance in the amount of
7-2
JUNE 9, 2009, Item-L
Page 3 of 6
$2,400,000 from the HOME Investment Partnership Program to Chelsea Investment
Corporation for the development of the Project.
To substantially fInance the development and construction of the Project, CIC subrnitted an
application to California Debt Limit Allocation Committee (CDLAC) on May 22, 2009 for
an aggregate amount not to exceed $39 million from the 2009 state ceiling on private
activity bonds for multi-family projects. On May 12,2009, the Housing Authority adopted
Resolution 2009-019, expressing its preliminary intention to issue bonds for the Project.
At this time, the City Council is asked to hold a public hearing on the question of whether
the Housing Authority should issue tax exempt bonds for the fInancing of the project and
to approve the issuance, sale, and delivery of multi-family housing revenue bonds by the
Housing Authority at the time a bond allocation is received.
The requested actions are preliminary and do not commit the Authority to issue the
bonds. Such preliminary actions are requirements for application to the State bonding
authority and to allow CIC to receive reimbursement out of bond proceeds for costs it
incurs leading up to the actual sale of bonds. If successful in obtaining a bond
commitment from CDLAC, CIC will come back to the Authority to request fmal
approval for the issuance of the bonds.
The Applicant
The Chelsea Investment Corporation has developed several projects in Chula Vista,
primarily in eastern Chula Vista, to satisfy developer inclusionary housing requirements
(Teresina Apartments, Rancho Buena Vista Apartments, Villa Serena and The Landings
I). CIC has over 5,100 housing units in its portfolio. The company has a strong and
experienced team of professionals. CIC has successfully managed low income housing
units for over 20 years.
The PropertY
The Landings II development will be built within the Winding Walk subdivision of
eastern Chula Vista. The low-income units will satisfy the requirements of the City's
Program for the provision of affordable housing within the Village 11 community. The
development will be located at the northwest comer of Discovery Falls Drive and
Crossroads Street. The Project is a continuation of design and development of the
adjacent Landings I development and "ill provide a total of 143-townhome style units,
with all units beilig 3-bedroom and affordable to very low and low income households.
Project amenities "ill be shared with Landings I and include a pool, spa, clubhouse, and a
tot lot.
The Proposal
All 143' units will be rented on a rent restricted basis to households whose income is at or
below 50-60 percent (%) of the Area Median Income as determined by HUD. This
project will provide a balance of housing opportunities and fulfIll a need in Chula Vista
7-3

Page 4 of6
for large family rental housing, particularly in the neighborhoods east ofInterstate 805, as
outlined in the City ofChula Vista 2005-2010 Housing Element.
Income and Rent Restrictions
F or the bond funding, Section 142 (d) of the Internal Revenue Services Code requires
either a minimum of twenty percent of the rental units in the Project to be available for
occupancy by persons or families whose income does not exceed 50 percent of the area
median income (AMI) for the San Diego Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area, or
alternatively, at least 40 percent of the rental units are required to be available for
occupancy by persons or families whose income does not exceed 60 percent of the AMI.
In each case, the units are to be made available at affordable rents established by the
applicable State law.
Per the Affordable Housing Agreement for the inclusionary obligation, a minimum of
115 units must be affordable to moderate income households. Due to the financing CIC
is pursuing, the Project will exceed these minimum requirements and provide 28 more
units and deeper affordability.
3 Bd/2 Ba

MGR
Total 143
CIC proposes to maintain the income and rent restrictions for The Landings II for a
period not less than fifty-five years, exceeding the 30-year term of the bonds. The
income and rent restrictions outlined above are to be incorporated into the Regulatory
Agreement for the bonds, which will be recorded against the property.
Compliance with the income and rent restrictions will be subject annually to a regulatory
audit and annual tax credit certification. Compliance with strict property management
policies and procedures will ensure that income and rent restrictions will be maintained
for the full 55-year compliance period, and will bind all subsequent owners of The
Landings II, so that the commitment remains in force regardless of ownership.
Proposed Financin2: of Proiect
Financing and development of The Landings is proposed as a Jomt private-public
partnership. CIC will be using Tax Exempt Multi-Family Revenue Bonds and Low
Income Housing Tax Credit fmancing to support the majority of the estimated $48.3
million ($337,245 per unit) cost of constructing the project (see Attachment 2).
Chelsea Investment Corporation has requested that the Housing Authority of the City of
Chula Vista consider the issuance of up to $39 million in private placement bonds, which
is the projected maximum construction loan. The permanent bond loan is estimated at
7-4
if --;
JUN 9, 2009, Item~
Page 5 of 6
approximately $15.7 million. Chelsea Investment Corporation will apply for
approximately $15.3 million in Low Income Housing Tax Credits. The permanent bonds
and Tax Credits would cover over 65 percent of the estimated cost. The balance is
expected to be provided by the City subsidy, other contributions and a deferred developer
fee.
The required documents ",ill be presented to the City/Housing Authority for approval at
such time as fmal approval of the issuance of the bonds and the related bond/loan
documents are requested.
Form of City Assistance - HOME Funds
The City Council adopted Resolution 2009-019 conditionally approving $2,400,000 in
financial assistance from HOME Investment Partnership funds, to assist 11 units at the
very low and/or'low income range. Assistance will be in the form of a loan (see
Attachment 3) and secured by a note and deed of trust recorded against the property. The
principal and interest on the loan will be amortized over fifty-five years and repaid from
cash surplus in annual installments.
The City is required to use its HOME funds solely for the purpose of providing
affordable housing for low-income persons. Federal requirements outline timeframes in
which HOME dollars must be allocated and actually expended. By June 30, 2009, the
City must commit $944,184 to eligible activities. With no current plans for the
expenditure of HOME funds and looming expenditure deadlines, the funding of this
project will assist the City in meeting the allocation and expenditure requirements.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property
holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMP ACT
Bond fmancing is a self-supporting program with the owner responsible for the payment
of all costs of issuance and other costs and repayment of the bonds. All costs related to
the issuance of the bonds will be paid from bond proceeds or profits. The bonds will be
secured by the project and will not constitute a liability to or obligation of the City or
Housing Authority.
The City of Chula Vista Housing Authority will receive compensation for its services in
preparing the bond issuance by charging an origination fee of 1/8 of 1 % of the bond loan,
approximately $48,125.
The fmancial assistance of $2,400,000 is available from the City's allocation of HOME
Investment Partnership grant funds. The loan amount of $2,400,000 will be used towards
a loan for CIC, Landings L.P. for costs related to the development ofthe Landings. The
HOME grant funds could also provide additional funds specifically for project
management costs; which will offset staff time and overhead costs related to loan
underwriting, legal services, and environmental review.

ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
Staff costs associated with monitoring compliance of the regulatory restrictions and
administration of the outstanding bonds will be reimbursed from an annual administrative
fee of approximately $19,625 (based upon 1/8 of 1% of the permanent bond loan) paid to
the Housing Authority by the owner.
