JOINT PUBLIC HEARING FOR CONSIDERATION OF A DDA
WITH WHISPERING GLEN, LLC FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF
FIFTY TWO (52) HOUSES ATINE.A.R._NTiJiHEEs NORTHWEST
CORNER OF ATLANTIC AND CARLIN AVa'mu"
Purpose:
This item facilitates a joint public hearing for the consideration of a Disposition
and Development Agreement ("DDA") between the Agency and Whispering Glen,
LLC for the development of fifty-two (52) single-family detached houses.
Facts_:
1. The Agency held a competitive bidding process to consider residential
redevelopment concepts for the northwest corner of Atlantic and Carlin
Avenues.
2. The Agency members selected Abell Helou Builders (parent company of
Whispering Glen, LLC) to be the developer for the project.
3. The initial Whispering Glen, LLC development concept provided for the
development of sixty (60) single-family detached housing units, of which
20% of these units would be sold to and occupied by households not
earning more than 120% of the area median income for Los Angeles
County.
4. The Agency entered into an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement ("ENA")
with Whispering Glen, LLC.
5. The final Whispering Glen, LLC development concept provides for the
development of fifty-two (52) single-family detached housing units, of
which 20% of these units would be sold to and occupied by households
not earning more than 120% of the area median income for Los Angeles
County.
6. Pursuant to an Agency directive, the developer is required to pay 50% of
its land acquisition contribution during the initial acquisition phase of the
project,

DOCUMENT NAME: 01-04-05 STAFF REPORT AGENCY PUB HEARING WHIS~ GLEN.doc
Analysis:
The proposed development of fifty-two (52) single family detached houses at the
Atlantic Cadin site will provide many significant benefits for the City of Lynwood.
Firstly, it will clean up a blighted area and replace it with a modern residential
community. T he b light i n t he a rea includes a s ub-standard mobile home p ark,
landlocked parcels, and other dilapidated buildings. Secondly, the proposed
project will provide new housing units to the supply of houses within Lynwood.
Thirdly, the proposed project will provide ten units of affordable housing for
households making not more than 120% of the area median income. Lastly, the
proposed project could serve to provide replacement housing for the City of
Lynwood's Ham Park replacement project.
Financial Analysis
Agency staff negotiated, pursuant to City Council's direction, a final price that the
Developer must pay for the land for the project. This price is $12.88 and
translates to $2,986,035 for the entire site. The Developer is required to provide
50% of this money during the initial acquisition phase of the project. The total
Agency outlay, i.e. the gap financing for the project, is estimated to be
$3,520,212. This amount includes conservative estimates for the total costs for
property acquisition including relocation, goodwill payments, and Fannie Mae
financing charges for the proposed project.
Conformance with California Redevelopment Law
Pursuant to current California Redevelopment Law, Agency staff members have
prepared a 33433 Summary Report for the proposed project. This report
succinctly provides an overview of the project, and outlines the project's costs
and the final estimated amount of Agency financial resources necessary for the
proposed project. This report and the draft DDA have been made available for
public review and inspection at the City Clerk's Office for at least fourteen (14)
consecutive days preceding the January 4th, 2005 joint public hearing.
Additionally, Agency staff members have published in a local adjudicated
newspaper of general circulation three public notifications regarding the
proposed project. These notifications announce the January 4~, 2005 joint public
hearing, and the availability for public review of the draft DDA and the 334333
Summary Report.
Recommendation:
Staff respectfully recommends that the Agency open the public hearing, take
public input and comments, close the public hearing, and adopt the attached
resolutions approving the DDA.

II.
SEC. 200 DISPOSITION OF THE SITE
A. [201] Developer's Security
On or before the close of escrow set forth in Section 203, Developer
shall pay into escrow the sum of Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000) (the
-performance Security") ensuring DeveloPer's compliance with the
terms of this Agreement.
Developer's performance Security shal~ be credited against any
amounts owed to Agency pursuant to the terms of this agreement including
but not ~imited to amounts owed to the Agency upon the sale of the
Whispering Glen Disposition and Development Agreement
Page7of40 -. -
Developer's first residential housing unit on the Site. After the close of
escrow such funds shall be paid to Agency in trust for Developer.
[202] Sale and Purchase
The Agency agrees to sell the Site to the Developer after the Site is
assembled, and the Developer agrees to purchase the Site from the Agency.
Prior to the conveYance of the Site from Agency to Developer, Developer
shall prove to the satisfaction of Agency that it has sufficient funds (such as a
commitment letter for funding from a recognized lending institution), to
reasonably accomplish the development of the Site in accordance with this
Agreement. Developer shall accept such conveyance of the parcels
identified in Section 103(1) from Agency, and shall pay to Agency as
consideration for such conveyances, the sum of money calculated by taking
the product of $12.88 multiplied by the totat square footage of property
acquired by Agency and conveyed to the Developer through the escrow
process as provided for by this Agreement (the "Purchase Price"). For
example, if the Agency acquires 231,835 square feet of property to assemble
the Site, the Purchase Price would be Two Million Nine Hundred Eight Six
Thousand and Thirty Five ($2,986,035), i.e. 231,835 x 12.88 = $2,986,035.
On or before the close of escrow between Developer and Agency, the
Developer shall deposit or cause to be deposited into escrow 50% of the
Purchase Price, a promissory note (the "Promissory Note") equal to 50% of
the Purchase Price, and an executed deed of trust (the "Trust Deed") that
secures the Promissory Note and provides a claim on the real property
conveyed from Agency to Developer described in Exhibit B, and secures the
performance of Developer pursuant to this Agreement. Agency hereby
agrees to subordinate its Trust Deed to a construction loan, including a land
draw, for the sole and exclusive purpose of developing the Project.
The Promissory Note shall be payable using the following two-part
methodology.
(i) The initial phase of the project, estimated to be three (3)
months, shall consist of acquiring the property currently located at the
Site. The Agency shall attempt to acquire all the properties at the
site. Upon the execution of a contract to purchase the final property at
the Site, Developer shall provide the Agency with a cash payment
equal to 50% of the Purchase Price. In the previously referenced
example, the Promissory Note would then be for One Million Four
Hundred Ninety Three Thousand and Seventeen ($1,493,017) which
would be the balance for the Promissory Note (the "Loan Balance").
Whispering Glen Disposition and Development Agreement
Page8of40 ...
The Loan Balance shall be increased by the amount of any deferred
permit fees and costs provided by the City or Agency.
(ii) Upon the sale of each and every Residential Unit at the Site,
Developer shall pay the Agency an amount of money equal to the
Loan Balance divided by the total number of Residential Units to be
constructed at the Site for the Project. For example, if Developer is to
construct fifty-two (52) units and the Loan Balance is $1,493,017 (plus
the amount of City or Agency-deferred fees) the Developer shall pay
to Agency the sum of ($28,711 plus a pro rata portion of City or
Agency-deferred fees) after the sale of each Residential Unit is
completed. The total number of Residential Units to be constructed
shall be determined by Agency at the opening of escrow between
Developer and Agency for conveyance of Site.
Payments for the Promissory Note towards the Loan Balance by Developer
shall be credited first towards any other sums owing and due by Developer to
Agency pursuant to this Agreement, including but not limited to, deferred permit
fees and costs, and then towards the Promissory Note or Loan Balance. The
interest rate for the Promissory Note shall be 4% simple interest. In the event that
the Promissory Note is not paid in full pursuant to Section 202 (above), the entire
outstanding balance of the Promissory Note shall be due and payable no later than
three hundred sixty (360) days from the date the Agency executes and issues to
Developer a Release of Construction Covenants. All interest on the Promissory
Note shall be deemed forgiven and not payable if the entire balance of the
Promissory Note is paid three hundred sixty (360) days from the date the Agency
executes and issues to Developer a Release of Construction Covenants. In the
event of a default, the Developer shall be obligated to pay the balance of the
Promissory Note plus 4% annual simple interest calculated from the date of
issuance of the Release of Construction Covenants by Agency to Developer. The
Agency shall assure timely processing of all City and Agency requirements
necessary for the Project. In the event of default of the Promissory Note, the
Agency shall have full recourse on the Promissory Note secured by the Trust Deed.
The Promissory Note and Trust Deed shall be generally in the form as shown
on Exhibits D and E attached hereto and incorporated by this reference. Both the
Promissory Note and Trust Deed shall contain provisions, mutually acceptable to
Agency and Developer, for the release from the Trust Deed for each Residential
Unit as it is sold. Agency and Developer shall cooperate in providing adequate
documentation to provide clear title to third-party buyers. The obligation of
Developer to repay the Promissory Note shall not be limited to proceeds of sale of
the Residential Units described in Section 101 above or any other particular funds of

DEVELOPMENT OFTHESITE
[301] Development of the Site by Developer and Obligations of Developer
1. [302] Scope of Development
The Scope of Development shall include the transfer of the Site from
Agency to Developer and development of fifty-two (52) (as determined at the
opening of escrow) single-family detached residential units on the Site.
Twenty percent (20%) of the Residential Units shall be limited by deed
restriction to be affordable to, sold to, and occupied by, households earning
120% or less of the area median income as annually published by the State
of California Department of Housing and Community Development. As
previously set forth in this Agreement, Agency reserves the right to modify
the number of Residential Units to be developed pursuant to Section 103 of
this Agreement.
2. [303] Affordable Housing Development
a. Pursuant to California Health and Safety Code
§33334.3, the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency requires that
Agency funds be recaptured if the Income Restricted Units
described in Section 101 do not continue to be the principal
residence of a Moderate Income Household for the duration of
forty-five (45) years.
b. Agency shall provide a deferred 3% simple interest loan
("Silent Second") to all Moderate Income Households
purchasing Income Restricted Units. The Agency shall
determine the amount of the Silent Second at the time of the
sale of the Income Restricted Unit to a Moderate Income
Household. At the time of the sale of the Income Restricted
Whispering Glen Disposition and Development Agreement
Page 17 of 40 . _ .
Unit from the Developer to the Moderate Income Household,
the Agency shall record a deed of trust against the Income
Restricted Unit for the amount of the Silent Second. The
amount of the Silent Second shall generally be calculated by
subtracting the maximum amount that the qualified Moderate
Income Household can pay for the Income Restricted Unit at
the time of the purchase, i.e. the down payment plus the
mortgage loan, subtracted from the current market price of the
Residential Units. The market price of the Residential Units
shall be the price of the most recent Residential Unit sold that
is not an Income Restricted Unit. The Silent Second will be
deemed forgiven if the Income Restricted Unit is owned and
occupied by a Moderate Income Household for 45 years.
c. If all or any part of the Income Restricted Unit or any
interest in it is sold, rented, conveyed or transferred to a non-
eligible Moderate Income Household (or if a borrower's
beneficial interest is sold, rented, conveyed, refinanced, or
transferred to someone who is not a natural person) within 45
years following the initial sale of the Income Restricted Unit
from Developer to a qualified Moderate Income Household, the
Agency shall choose either one (but not both) of two options to
recapture its investment in the Income Restricted Unit:
(i)
(ii)
Agency shall enforce its rights to collect the
Silent Second based on the number of years that
the Income Restricted Unit has been occupied
by a Moderate Income Household; e.g. if after 10
years an income Restricted Unit is sold to a
buyer that is not a Moderate Income Household,
the Agency shall pursue 35/45 (77.7%) of the
amount of the Silent Second plus 3% simple
interest; or
Agency shall pursue a share of the profits from
the sale of an Income Restricted Unit to an
unqualified buyer by using the appropriate and
accepted affordable housing equity appreciation
table.
d. The Developer shall make all necessary efforts to
assure that the Income Restricted Units are initially sold to and
occupied by Moderate Income Households. This includes, but
Whispering Glen Disposition and Development Agreement
Page18of40 ~ .
is not limited to, assisting the Agency in executing and
recording the necessary documents to assure this.
3. [304] Number of Units
The Developer covenants and agrees to construct and reserve twenty
percent (20%) of the Residential Units to be purchased and occupied by
Moderate Income Households.
4. [305] Owner Occupancy
The Indome Restricted Units shall be required to be occupied by a
Moderate Income Household as the household's principal residence; and
every subsequent purchaser shall be a Moderate Income Household and
shall be obligated to occupy the unit as the household's principal residence.
This restriction shall evidenced by a recorded covenant on the deed that
runs with the land, a recorded promissory note, and recorded covenants,
conditions, and restrictions; all of these documents shall apply for 45 years
commencing from the sale of the residential unit from the Developer to a
Moderate Income Household. The Developer shall take steps and execute
any and all necessary documents necessary to effectuate the purposes of
this section 300.
5. [306] Income Restrictions Definitions
For the purpose of this Agreement, the income restriction definitions
are based on the Los Angeles County median income levels as determined
by the State of California Department of Housing and Community
Development.
6. [307] Obligations of Developer
In addition to any other obligations of Developer as set forth in this
Agreement, Developer shall also have the following specific

Any disapproval of such plans or submissions by Agency shall include written
reasons for disapproval. Following receipt of any notice of disapproval from
Agency, Developer shall revise any such plans or submissions and resubmit
them to Agency for written approval by Agency within a reasonable time
period.
If any revision or correction of plans or submissions for the
development of the Site shall be required by the City, by any agency,
department or bureau of the City, by the County of Los Angeles, or by the
State of California having jurisdiction, Developer and Agency shall cooperate
in efforts to obtain the approval of such plans or submissions which have
otherwise received the approval of Agency, or else to obtain the waiver of
any such requirement. If no such approval or waiver is obtained, Agency and
Developer shall be bound by any revision or correction required by any such
public entity, provided that such revision or correction is not inconsistent with
approved drawings and related documents.
If Developer desires to make any change in the final construction
drawings and related documents for development of the Site after their
approval by Agency, Developer shall submit the proposed change to Agency
for its written approval. Said approval shall not be unreasonably withheld so

development defined in this Agreement. Agency shall notify Developer of
approval or disapproval in writing within thirty (30) days after submission of
the proposed change by Developer to Agency. A proposed change in the
final construction drawings for development of the Site shall be deemed to

thirty (30) day period. Following receipt of written disapproval from Agency,
Developer may revise any such proposed change and resubmit it to Agency
for written approval by Agency, in accordance with the provisions pertaining

shall thereafter approve or disapprove any such proposed change in
accordance with the procedures otherwise set forth in this Section 305.

mortgage, deed of trust, encumbrance or lien that has been created
or attached to the Site prior to completion of the construction of the
improvements on the Site whether such encumbrances or liens have
been established by voluntary act of Developer or otherwise. The
terms mortgage and deed of trust, as used herein, shall be deemed to
include all means of financing real estate acquisition and construction
and development.
2. [324] Holder Not Obligated to Construct Improvements
The holder of any mortgage, deed of trust or other security
interest authorized by this Agreement shall no way be obligated by the
provisions hereof to construct or complete the improvements on the
Site set forth herein, or to guarantee such construction or completion;
Whispering Glen Disposition and Development Agreement
Page 26 of 40 ~ .
nor shall any covenant or any other provision in the deed for any Site
be construed so to obligate each such holder. Nothing in this
Agreement shall be deemed to construe, permit or authorize any such
holder to devote the Site to any uses, or to construct any
improvements thereon, other than those uses or improvements
provided for or authorized by this Agreement.
[325] Notice of Default to Holders of Mortgages, Deeds of
Trust, or other Security Interest; Right to Cure
Whenever Agency delivers any notice or demand to Developer
with respect to any breach or default by Developer concerning the
completion of construction of the improvements set forth herein,
Agency shall at the same time deliver to each holder of record of any
mortgage, deed of trust or other security interest authorized by this
Agreement a copy of such notice or demand. With respect to the
rights of Agency hereunder, each such holder shall, at its option, have
the right within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the notice, to cure
or commence to cure any such default and to add the cost hereof to
the security interest debt and the lien pertaining to its security interest.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to permit
or authorize such holder to undertake or continue the construction or
completion of the improvements, beyond the extent necessary to
conserve or protect the improvements or construction already
completed, without first having expressly assumed Developer's
obligations hereunder by written agreement in a form and substance
approved by Agency. The holder in that event must agree to
complete, in the manner set forth in this Agreement, the
improvements to which the lien or title of such holder relates, and
must submit evidence satisfactory to Agency that the holder has the
qualifications and financial responsibility necessary to perform such
obligations. Any such holder properly completing such improvements
shall be entitled, upon written request made by the holder to Agency,
to be issued a Release of Construction Covenants from Agency, and
such holder shall succeed to all other rights of the Developer. Agency
agrees to provide such other notices as may be reasonably required
by any construction lender of Developer.
4. [326] Failure of Holder to Complete Improvements
In any case where the holder of any mortgage, deed of trust or
Whispering Glen Disposition and Development Agreement
Page 27 of 40 ~ .
other security interest creating a lien or encumbrance upon the Site
has not entered into an agreement pursuant to Section 322 to
construct improvements within six (6) months after the default by
Developer in the completion of construction of improvements, but has
not proceeded diligently with construction, Agency may, at its option,
purchase the mortgage, deed of trust, or other security interest by
making to the holder payment of the amount of the unpaid debt, plus
any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. If title to the Site has vested
in the holder, Agency shall be entitled to conveyance of the Site from
the holder, and the holder shall, at the option of Agency convey the
Site to Agency, upon payment by Agency to the holder of the amounts
to which that holder is contractually entitled.
[327] Right of Agencyto Cure Default Pertinent To a Mortgage, Deed
of Trust or Other Security Interest
In the event of a default or breach by Developer pursuant to a
mortgage, deed of trust, or other security interest related to the Site
prior to the completion of development of each applicable property
constituting the Site, if the holder has not exercised its option to
complete the development of the Site, Agency may cure the default or
breach prior to completion of any foreclosure thereon. In such event,
Agency shall be entitled to compensation from Developer for all costs
and expenses incurred by Agency in curing the default, together with
interest thereon computed at the maximum rate then allowed by law.
Agency shall also be entitled to a lien upon the phases or sub-phases
constituting portions of the Site, or any portion thereof, to secure any
and all such costs and expenses incurred by Agency. Any such lien
to which Agency is entitled shall be subject to mortgages, deeds of
trust or other security instruments executed for the sole purpose of
obtaining funds to purchase and develop the Site, as authorized
herein.
K. [328] Right of Agency to Satisfy Other Liens on the Site After Title Passes
After the conveyance of title to the Site to Developer, and prior to the
recordation of a Release of Construction Covenants for construction and
development for the Site, and after Developer has had a reasonable time to
challenge, cure, or satisfy any liens or encumbrances on the Site, Agency shall
have the right to satisfy any such liens or encumbrances; provided, however, that
nothing in this Agreement shall require Developer to pay or make provision for the
· payment of any tax, assessment, lien or charge so long as Developer in good faith
Whispering Glen Disposition and Development Agreement
Page 28 of 40 . .
contests the validity or amount thereof, and so long as such delay in payment shall
not subject a Site to forfeiture or foreclosure sale.
L. [329] Release of Construction Covenants
Promptly after completion of all construction and development by Developer
of the Site, issuance of a certificate of occupancy on all Residential Units, and when
in complete compliance with this Agreement, Agency shall issue to Developer and
record a Release of Construction Covenants for the Site, upon written request
therefore submitted by Developer to Agency. Agency shall not unreasonably
withhold the issuance of the Release of Construction Covenants. Such Release of
Construction Covenants shall constitute, and shall so state, the conclusive
determination of satisfactory completion of construction required by this Agreement
upon the Site, and of full compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
After issuance of such a Release of Construction Covenants, any party then
owning or thereafter purchasing, leasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in the
Site, shall not because of the ownership, purchase lease or acquisition, incur any
obligation or liability under this Agreement, except insofar as such party shall be
bound by any covenants contained in the deed, lease, mortgage, deed of trust,
contract or other interest of transfer in accordance with the provisions of Sections
301 through 303 and 401 to 403 hereof. Following the issuance of a Release of
Construction Covenants, neither Agency nor any other person, shall have any rights
or remedies that it would otherwise have or be entitled to exercise under this
Agreement as a result of a default in or breach of any provisions of this Agreement,
and the respective rights and obligations of the parties with reference to those
matters shall be as set forth in the deed, lease, mortgage, deed of trust, contract, or
other instrument of transfer.
The Release of Construction Covenants pertinent to the Site shall generally
be consistent with a form and format to permit it to be recorded in the Recorder's
Office of Los Angeles County. The general form of such Release of Construction
Covenants is attached hereto as Exhibit H.
If Agency refuses or fails to issue a Release of Construction Covenants for
the Site after written request is made therefore by Developer, Agency shall, within
thirty (30) days following receipt of the written request, provide to Developer a
written statement of the reasons Agency refuses to issue a Release of Construction
Covenants. If Agency fails to provide such written statement to Developer within
said thirty (30) day period, Developer shall be deemed entitled to issuance of the
Release of Construction Covenants.
Whispering Glen Disposition and Development Agreement
Page 29 of 40 ~ .
IV.
Such Release of Construction Covenants shall not constitute evidence of
compliance with, or satisfaction of, any obligation of Developer to any holder of a
mortgage, or an insurer of a mortgage securing money lent to finance the
improvements on the Site or any part thereof. Such Release of Construction
Covenants shall not be deemed to be notice of completion, as referred to in
California Civil Code, Section 3093.

any portion thereof.

proceedings against the party in default until thirty (30) days after the non-defaulting
party gives such notice. Any failure or delay in giving such notice shall not be
deemed to constitute a waiver or any default, nor shall it be deemed to change the
time of default. Notwithstanding above, the non-defaulting party shall have the right
to request injunctive relief where action or inaction by the defaulting party within
thirty (30) days will cause damages for which pecuniary relief would be inadequate.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any failure or
delay by either party in asserting any of its remedies as to any default shall not
operate as a waiver of any default or of any such rights or remedies, or deprive
either party of its right to institute and maintain any actions or proceedings which it
may deem necessary to protect, assert or enforce any such rights or remedies.

other instruments securing this Note that the loan evidenced hereby be exempt from the
restrictions of the usury laws of the State of California. The Agency and Developer

CERTAIN ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS WITH RESPECT TO THE
PROPOSED DISPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BY AND
BETWEEN THE LYNWOOD REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AND WHISPERING
GLEN, LLC
WHEREAS, the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency (the "Agency") wishes
to consider the approval of a Disposition and Development Agreement ("DDA")
by and between the Agency and Whispering Glen, LLC (the "Developer") for the
disposition of certain real property located at the northeast corner of Femwood
Ave and Atlantic Ave (the "Site"); and
WHEREAS, a Project Environmental Impact Report was prepared for the
1980 Amendment to Redevelopment Project Area "A" ("1980 EIR"); and
WHEREAS, the development advances the goals of the 1980
Amendment to Lynwood Redevelopment Project Area "A" ("1980 Amendment")
described in the 1980 EIR which goals are to (1) arrest the decline and decay
and the spread of blight throughout the project area, (2) restore and revitalize
existing residential, commercial and industrial areas to viable centers serving
community and regional needs, and (3) stimulate and attract private investment
thereby improving the City's economic health, employment opportunities and tax
base; and
WHEREAS, the 1980 EIR addresses the environmental impacts of the
development pursuant to the proposed DDA; and
WHEREAS, the Agency has prepared an Initial Study and found and
determined that a subsequent EIR is not needed because none of the following
conditions of Section 15162 of Guidelines for the Implementation of the
California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA Guidelines") have occurred:
Subsequent changes are proposed in the project which will require
important revisions to the 1980 EIR due to the involvement of new
significant impacts not considered in the 1980 EIR; and
Substantial changes occurred with respect to the circumstances under
which the project was undertaken due to the involvement of the new
significant impacts not covered in the 1980 EIR; and
· New information of substantial importance to the project has become
available.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Lynwood Redevelopment Agency hereby
resolves as follows:
Section 1. The redevelopment of the Site provided for by the DDA is
covered by the 1980 EIR which serves as the Final Environmental Impact Report
for the entire Amendment, which Amendment constitutes the "Project".
Section 2. The redevelopment of the Site provided for by the DDA Was
considered in the 1980 EIR as part of the Project.
Section 3. The 1980 EIR was considered prior to the approval of the DDA.
The Agency hereby finds: the redevelopment pursuant to the proposed DDA is
within the scope of the 1980 Amendment previously approved; the effects of the
redevelopment pursuant to the proposed Final Environmental Impact Report
together with all other development will not cause a significant effect on the
environment. All feasible mitigation measures and alternatives developed in the
previous Final Environmental Impact Report for the Project are incorporated in
this Development. No new information of substantial importance to the- Project
has become available. The final Environmental Impact report, therefore, is
determined to be adequate to serve as the environmental impact report for the
Development and satisfies all the requirements of CEQA.
Section 4. Applicable mitigation measures identified in the Final
Environmental Impact Report have been incorporated into this Development
which mitigate any potential significant environmental impacts thereof.
Section 5. The Final Impact Report incorporates certain mitigation
measures which are to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment,
and the Agency hereby adopts the following program for reporting and
monitoring the implementation of such mitigation measures pursuant to Public
Resources Code Section 21081.6:
A. The Developer selected by the Agency shall enter into an
Agreement with the Agency to submit all plans and specifications for the
Development to the Agency for its approval, at which time the Agency shall
review the plans and specifications for compliance with such mitigation
measures as are the responsibility of the Developer;

D. The Agency hereby authorizes and directs that a Notice of
Determination with respect to the acquisition and development of the Site

III.
ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE INTERESTS TO BE CONVEYED DETERMINED AT
THE HIGHEST USE PERMITTED UNDER THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
Pursuant to Section 33433 of the California Health and Safety Code, this section presents an
analysis of the fair market value of the subject property at the highest and best use. Under
current market conditions it is assumed that a market rate housing project of single.family
detached units available for sale would be the highest and best use of the Site. The proposed
use of the subject property must be consistent with the redevelopment plan and the subject
property must be developed soon after the transfer of the property; i.e., land speculation is not
allowed.
In appraisal terminology, the highest and best use can be defined as the legal use (i.e., uses
allowed under the redevelopment plan) that will yield the highest value to the land. Therefore,
the definition of highest and best use is based solely on the value created 8nd not on whether it
enhances or carries out the redevelopment goals and policies established by the Agency.
4
The value of the site at its highest and best use determined based upon the value of residential
properties in the area is estimated at $18.21 per square foot or $4,222,469.
IV. ESTIMATED REUSE VALUE OF THE INTERESTS TO BE CONVEYED
The Agency's economic consultant, Rosenow Spevacek Group Inc (RSG), has prepared a
reuse value analysis of the Site for the Project. That analysis concluded that given the ten'ns
and restrictions required by the DDA, the reuse value of the site is $12.88 per square foot or
$2,986,035. This value is predicated upon the Project being developed in accordance with the
DDA, with 20% of the residential units restricted to occupar)~, b~,-and pr ced to be affordable to,
moderate ~ncome households. A moderate ~ncome household is a househo d that earns up to
120% of the area median income of Los Angeles County. This restriction will be recorded
against the properties affected so that they will remain affordable for 45 years.
V. CONSIDERATION RECEIVED AND COMPARISON WITH THE FAIR REUSE VALUE
The DDA requires the Agency to sell the Site to the Developer for $2,986,035, which is the fair
reuse value indicated in the RSG analysis
VI. BLIGHT ELIMINATION
The proposed site is currently composed of a number of blighted commercial and residential
structures. Development of the proposed Project on the Site will eliminate these blighted
conditions, replacing them with a new development that is consistent with the Redevelopment
Plan, adds economic return to the City, and provides new a~f~or_d~ble housing that will meet City
Planning and building codes.

Subject: DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT REVIEW
Purpose:
To have the Agency review a development concept submitted by Atlantic Agnes
LLC (the "Developer") for the development of a commercial retail center located
at the northwest corner of Atlantic Avenue and Agnes Street within
Redevelopment Project Area "A".
Facts:
1. The Developer purchased the old McDonalds property located at the north
west corner of Atlantic Avenue and Agnes Street (See attached Assessor's
Map). The McDonalds property is comprised of two parcels I 1833 Atlantic
Avenue and 4335-4343 Agnes Street (the "Site").
2. The Developer proposes to develop a retail center of approximately 4,200 sq.
ft. on approximately 1 1,847 sq. ft. of land area (see Site Plan Option "A").
Staff met with the Developer to discuss design improvements and expansion.
3. The Developer expressed interest in expansion a nd submitted another site
plan that improved visibility of some of the proposed retail spaces and parking
configuration (See option "B"). The Developer does not own the property
located 11817 Atlantic Avenue ("Third Party Parcel") however, the Developer
has indicated a willingness to pursue the possible acquisition to include the
Third Party Parcel into the project.
4. The Developer is requesting approval of the development concept so that
they may pursue and establish the final configuration for the project. The
Developer is not requesting any financial assistance and the retail center may
be an option for those businesses that will be impacted by the Ham Park
replacement project.
H:\WORDFILE\REDEVELP\LMORALES~AlticAgnesDevConcpt010405.stf.doc
Analysis:
The Site is currently developed with a vacant former McDonalds building, a
parking lot, and a small commercial building and residential unit. The Site is
currently underutilized and in a blighted condition. The proposed project under
option B coupled with recent concept approval to rehabilitate the former KFC
property provides the Agency with the unique opportunity to clean-up the entire
block with new retail at essentially no cost to the Agency. In addition, the new
retail space developed may be made available to the businesses that will be
effected by the Ham Park relocation project.
The Developer has submitted two concept for Agency consideration. Option A is
for the Development of the former McDonalds property only. Option B
incorporates the property located at 11817 Atlantic Avenue. Option B provides a
better layout and allows for more parking. Option B also maintains a constant
linear building line between the buildings separated by the alley and in turn
provides more exposure to the retail spaces proposed on the Agnes side of the
Site. Between the two options staff would recommend Option B for reasons
noted above. Should the Agency approve the concept for option B the Developer
will approach the owner of the property located at 11817 Atlantic Avenue with an
offer to purchase.
Recommendation:
Staff respectfully requests that after consideration the Agency approve the
development concept, Option B and direct staff to work with Developer to
facilitate and pursue the possible purchase of the Third Party Parcel located at
11817 Atlantic Avenue.

APPROVAL OF THE AGENCY ENTERING INTO AN
AGREEMENT WITH FANNIE MAE FOR ACCESS TO
$10,000,000 OF FANNIE MAE COMMUNITY EXPRESS FUNDS
AND OPENING A TRUST ACCOUNT WITH US BANK AND
MOVING $2,500,000 IN 1999 SERIES A BOND PROCEEDS
FROM THE HOUSING FUND TO A NEW TRUST ACCOUNT AND
APPROVAL OF MODIFYING THE CONTRACT OF SIDLEY,
AUSTIN, BROWN, AND WOOD
Purpose:
This item facilitates the necessary transactions and transfers required by Fannie
Mae to execute the necessary documents and begin using the Fannie Mae
Community Express program for Iow and moderate housing development.
Facts
1. LRA staff members have been working with Fannie Mae regarding gaining
access to additional Iow and moderate-income housing resources.
2. Fannie Mae has approved up to $10,000,000 in financing for the Agency
based on the Agency's discretion.
The Atlantic Carlin and Alameda Triangle housing projects require the
infusion of Fannie Mae Iow and moderate-income housing funds to make
the projects feasible as currently structured.
The Agency will secure the Fannie Mae Community Express program by
using $2,500,000 in tax-exempt bond proceeds from the 1999 issuance of
bonds.
5. The Agency is not required to draw down and use the Fannie Mae funds
unless it decides to do so.

AGENDa. i TEM
.Analysis:
The Fannie Mae Community Express program requires that the Agency secure
the Iow-interest line of credit based on a four-to-one, or 25%, basis.
Consequently, the Agency will secure the $10,000,000 with $2,500,000 of
Agency funds that are dedicated for this purpose. The Agency intends to use
2,500,000 of its tax-exempt housing bond proceeds to provide this security.
Fannie Mae also requires that these funds are put into a dedicated trust account
that requires Fannie Mae approval before funds can be transferred in and out of
this account.
Pursuant to Agency direction, Redevelopment Agency staff members are moving
closer to closing out the approval process and entedng into the Fannie Mae
Community Express program. The necessary documents and the Agency funds
secudng the program have to be in place by January 18, 2004. By adopting the
attached resolution, Agency members will be approving that the Intedm Executive
Director execute the necessary documents to enter into the Fannie Mae Community
Express program. Further, this resolution also authorizes Agency staff members to
facilitate the opening of a new trust account with U.S. Bank, and to transfer
$2,500,000 of 1999 tax-exempt bond proceeds into the new trust account.
As approved by the Agency on December 7, 2004, Agency staff members have been
working with the law firm of Sidley, Austin, Brown, and Wood to get a wdtten opinion
that the proposed use of the 1999 tax-exempt bond proceeds is allowed both
pursuant to current IRS tax laws and the covenants related to the bond issuance.
The original contract for this opinion was for a not-to-exceed amount of $7,500. Due
to some technical issues with Fannie Mae and other unexpected issues, staff
members are requesting that this contract be modified to be a not-to-exceed amount
of $15,000.
Recommendation:
Staff respectfully requests that the Agency approve the modification of the
contract with Sidley, Austin, Brown, and Wood for a new not-to-exceed amount of
$15,000, and adopt the attached resolution authorizing the Executive Director to
execute the necessary documents, open a trust account, and make the
necessary transfers of bond proceeds to implement the Fannie Mae Community
Express program.
