However, the property was included the Housing Assets List filed with the Department of Finance on July 31, 2012. The transfer of the property as a housing asset was also approved by the Oversight Board as of May 16, 2012, and included in the Long Range Property Management Plan as of September 23, 2013. On July 26, 2010, the former-RDA entered into an Exclusive Negotiating Rights Agreement (ENRA) with Eden Housing Inc., a California nonprofit public benefit corporation, to assemble it with the Kibler property and another parcel on the south side of First Street to develop the properties into two model mixed-use retail and affordable residential projects. The ENRA was extended for two additional time periods, but ultimately expired on May 31, 2012. That project was not realized. On September 11, 2011, the City appropriated $520,000 of Local Housing Trust Funds from the California Department of Housing and Community Development to transfer those funds from the Local Housing Trust Fund (Fund 638) to the City Housing Trust Fund (Fund 611) to help Eden Housing Inc. to develop the sites into a mixed use affordable housing and commercial project. That project would have satisfied the project requirements and demonstrate the necessary 2-to-1 match for the grant. That project was not realized and the Local Housing Trust Funds (Fund 638) were not transferred to the City Housing Trust Fund (Fund 611). EXCERPTS REFLECTING PROPOSED USE Initial Proposed Use – Time of Acquisition (April 13, 2009) “The Property would become part of the Livermore Village development and encompass a larger area and would include a variety of housing types while maximizing project affordability and potential tax increment. The purchase of the property would square off the site, enhancing traffic circulation and placement of housing units on the Livermore Village project.” Latest Proposed Use - Long Range Property Management Plan (September 23, 2013, and December 14, 2015) “In keeping with the appropriate use of the City’s affordable housing funds that were used to acquire the site, and the Downtown Specific Plan goal to expand the amount of affordable housing in the area, the Long Range Property Management Plan for this site is to continue with the City and former-RDA initiated development as an affordable, mixed-use housing project.”
