A CIty CouncIl resolution approvIng the expendIture of funds for off-sIte replacement housing IS also attached for adoptIon. This report reVlews the background of the proJect, the terms and condItIons of the proposed lease and payment agreement and recommends approval by the respectIve CIty agencIes. Relocatlon assIstance IS also requested. PROJECT OVERVIEW The ParkIng AuthorIty owns the property known as 175 Ocean Park Boulevard, WhICh IS a 28,00@ square foot parcel Improved by two structures contaInIng a total of 27 rental unIts. The structures 1 e e were relocated from the Promenade In Ocean Park to theIr current sIte In 1963 to provIde 'housIng of last resort' for persons d1splaced by Urban Renewal actIvItIes. Although InitIally fully occupIed, the bUIldIngs have been in very poor condItion for several years and are no longer hab1table. To provide for the rehabIlItatIon of thIS proJect by the HousIng AuthorIty of the County of Los Angeles, thIS report proposes that the ParkIng Author1ty enter Into a lease WIth the Housing AuthorIty whIch WIll then proceed to renovate and operate the property. Due to federal fundIng constraInts, the HousIng AuthorIty does not have suffICIent proJect Income to compensate the ParkIng AuthorIty for the faIr market value of the leasehold Interest. ThI S repor t therefore proposes tha t the Redeveloprnent Agency supplement the HousIng AuthorIty's payment to brIng the Park1ng AuthorIty's revenues up to the fair market value of the leasehold as determIned by independent appraIsal of the property. A Payment Agreement between the Redevelopment Agency and the ParkIng Author1ty 1S attached for this purpose. DISCUSSION On February 16,1977, the Redevelopment Agency obtaIned a Coastal Perm1t for the development of the Ocean Park Redevelopment Area. One of the condItions of the origInal Coastal Development Permit WhICh remaIns to be fulfIlled under the amended permIt now In effect is the rehabilItatIon of 175 Ocean Park Boulevard. The Coastal Permit specifIes that the Agency 1S reqUIred to cause the renovatIon and operatIon of the 2 e e property as affordable housing for persons and famIlIes of low to moderate Income for a perIod of not less than thIrty years. To aSSIst the Redevelopment Agency In meetIng Its Coastal PermIt oblIgatIons, the CIty and the CIty'S Housing Authority entered Into agreements WIth the HOUSIng Authority of the County of Los Angeles (HACoLA) enablIng It to seek and obtaIn financing for the renovation and operatIon of the property. In recognitIon of the fact that thIS site has been used for reSidential purposes since 1963, the Parking AuthorIty adopted ResolutIon 158 whIch declared the property surplus and authorIzed its transfer to a publIC agency for the prOVISIon of affordable hOUSing. ResolutIon 158 reqUired that the property be transferred at Its appraised value. Subsequent to these actions by the varIOUS City agenCIes In 1980, HACoLA has obtaIned a $990,000 fundIng commItment from the U.S. Department of HOUSIng and Urban Development (HUD) for the VIrtual reconstructIon of the Improvements. All necessary City and Coastal CommISSIon permIts have been obtaIned to enable the HOUSIng AuthorIty to renovate the complex and prOVIde 22 aSSIsted unIts. The north bUIldIng WIll provide ten unIts for senIor CItIzens and the south bUIldIng Will prOVide twelve unIts for famIlIes. The prOVISIon of large famIly hOUSIng, as reqUired under the Coastal Permit, necessItated a reductIon In the number of unIts on the SIte from 27 to 22. FinaliZIng SIte control IS the last action necessary to permIt HACoLA to put the project out to bId and execute the documents for permanent fInanCIng. There is one tenant remaIning on the SIte who WIll be relocated and 3 e e receIve relocatIon benefIts durIng the four months prIor to constructIon. ThIS issue IS discussed In a later section of this repor t. The remaInder of this report reVIews the documents proposed for approval by the Parking AuthorIty and Redevelopment Agency WhICh will effect the fulfIllment of Coastal CommISSIon condItIons and address the terms speCIfIed by the ParkIng Authority to make the SIte avaIlable for thIS purpose. Proposed Lease and AuthorIZIng Resolution The prOVISIons of the attached lease by and between the ParkIng AuthorIty and the Housing AuthorIty of the County of Los Angeles are summarIzed as follows: o Term As reqUIred by HUD, the term of the lease is 50 years WIth a 25 year option to extend. o Rent A one tIme rental payment WIll be due from the HOUSIng AuthorIty upon the Issuance of a NotIce to Proceed which In no event WIll be less than $75,000. The rent payment is equal to the dIfference between the maximum total development cost under HUD gUIdelInes and the actual total development cost of the proJect. Staff estImates that the actual sum to be paId WIll range between $75,000 and $111,000, dependIng upon total development costs established at the completIon of the proJect. The Payment Agreement, descrIbed below, prOVIdes the ParkIng Authority with compensatIon to make up the dIfference between the rent paId by the HOUSIng AuthorIty and the appraIsed value of the leasehold as adJusted by the Consumer PrIce Index on an annual baSIS. o Use The property may only be used for reSIdentIal rental purposes. o SubordInatIon 4 e e As the bUIldIngs must be vacant prIor to the start of constructIon, staff has developed a relocatIon plan InvolvIng relocatIon and human serVIces consultants to facIlitate this tenant's transItIon to a new home. The relocatIon consultant WIll fInd a replacement unIt, make arrangements for movIng, and coordInate wIth staff in provIdIng other relocatIon assistance as required under the UnIform RelocatIon Act. The Ocean Park CommunIty Center profesSIonal staff wIll provide counselIng support and advocacy serVIces to address this IndIVIdual's per sonal needs. To allow the reconstructIon of thIS proJect to commence and brIng 22 substantially refurbIshed unI ts onto the market place, staff is seekIng the follOWIng: o AuthorIzatIon enablIng Agency Counsel to take legal actIons necessary, IncludIng filIng an Unlawful DetaIner actIon to recover possession of the last unIt at 175 Ocean Park Boulevard occupied by a tenant. o AuthorIzatIon to contract with Port Incorporated for relocation serVIces relocatIon payments on behalf of the CIty. and Flor, and to make The Agency/City/ParkIng AuthorIty has receIved the necessary ExemptIon and Removal PermIts from the Rent Control Board to proceed In this fashion. The costs of these relocatIon actiVItIes are projected at $16,000. Ten thousand dollars ($10,000) IS avaIlable from the FY 1983-84 budget and staff IS requestIng that an addItIonal $6,000 be approprIated during the current fiscal year. SuffiCIent funds 7 e e The lease, other than the ParkIng AuthorIty's reversionary right to the property, IS subordInate to the federal fInanCIng contract and HUD regulations regardIng the management and operation of the property. The lease also contaIns prOVISIons to hold the ParkIng AuthorIty harmless against claIms arISIng from the management or operation of the property. A resolutIon approving the lease and authorIZIng Its execution by the ExecutIve Director IS attached for approval by the ParkIng AuthorIty. Payment A9reement As ParkIng Authority Resolution 158 reqUIres that the SIte be transferred at Its appraIsed value, an appraIsal of the SIte was conducted by an MAl appraIs~r. The value IndIcated from reVIew of comparable propertIes and economic analYSIS was $770,000 for the purpose of sale, and $77,000 for the conveyance of a leasehold interest. The Payment Agreement proposed for approval by the Redevelopment Agency and ParkIng AuthorIty IS structured to prOVIde compensatIon to the ParkIng AuthorIty for the appraIsed leasehold value of the SIte. The terms of the Payment Agreement are descrlbed brIefly as follows: o Term The term of the payment IS concurrent WIth that of the lease WIth the HOUSIng Authority. o Payment The Redevelopment Agency WIll make annual payments to the Parklng AuthorIty equal to the difference between the appraIsed leasehold value adjusted by the annual change In the Consumer PrIce Index and any rental income received from 5 e e the HousIng AuthorIty. SInce payment from the Housing AuthorIty IS antIcIpated for the fIrst year only, it IS lIkely that all subsequent payments wIll be made In full by the Redevelopment Agency. ResolutIons approvIng and authorIzIng executIon of the Payment Agreement are attached for Redevelopment Agency and ParkIng AuthorIty approval. To enable the Agency to expend funds pursuant to the Payment Agreement, resolutIons fInding that the prOVISIon of off-sIte replacement housing is of benefIt to the Redevelopment Project are attached for Agency approval. Two resolutIons are requIred because the Ocean Park Redevelopment ProJect IS comprIsed of two separate tax allocatIon areas. As Council concurrence is requIred when hOUSIng IS to be provIded off-site, Council ResolutIons to thIS effect are also attached for approval. RelocatIon of RemainIn9 Tenant PrIor to the start of relocatIon actIvItIes, four tenants reSIded at 175 Ocean Park Boulevard. Three of these reSIdents have vOluntarIly vacated over the past eIghteen months and have receIved relocatIon benefIts, rental assIstance, movIng assIstance, and have moved to new quarters. Port and Flor, Inc., relocatIon consultants to the Agency, have not had sImilar success wIth the last remaInIng tenant and belIeve that it IS lIkely that It WIll be necessary to fIle an Unlawful DetaIner to Induce thIS tenant to accept assIstance In fIndIng and In movIng to a new reSIdence. 6 e e from the FY 1983-84 Agency budget are avaIlable for thIS purpose. SIdewalk ConstructIon The CIty tYPIcally requIres developers to provIde sIdewalks In conJunctIon wIth maJor constructIon proJects, and sidewalks have been deSIgned for thIS partIcular project. However, the CooperatIon Agreement between the CIty and HousIng AuthorIty provIdes that the HousIng AuthorIty may elect to have the CIty undertake sidewalk constructIon and compensate the CIty for thIS serVIce. HOD and HACoLA have recently notIfIed staff that CIty constructIon of the SIdewalk WIll be necessary. As prIor dISCUSSIon on the Lease payment indIcates, suffIcient federal fundIng may not be avaIlable for thIS purpose. Staff WIll therefore propose InclusIon of $6,000 In the FIscal year 1984-85 Redevelopment Budget for SIdewalk constructIon. FINANCIAL/BUDGETARY IMPACT ParkIng AuthorIty approval of the attached documents WIll have the follOWIng budgetary Impacts: o ReceIpt of rental revenues from the HOUSIng Authority of County of Los Angeles ranging from $75,000 to $111,000 In FY 1984-85; and o Receipt of payment from the Redevelopment Agency rangIng from $0 to $2,000 In FIscal Year 1984-85, and annual payments equal to the full appraIsed value of the leaseho ld thereafter. The DIrector of FInance WIll deSIgnate a revenue account number for these receIpts. Redevelopment Agency approval of the Payment Agreement WIll have 8 e . the budgetary Impact IndIcated below: ExpendIture of funds in an amount rangIng from $13 to $2990 In Fiscal Year 1984-85, and annual payments to the ParkIng AuthorIty equal to the appraIsed value of the leasehold adJusted by the CPI thereafter for the term of the Payment Agreement. The DIrector of FInance WIll aSSIgn a lIne Item WIthIn the 18 Fund (Ocean Park Redevelopment Project) for thIS expendIture. In addItIon the completIon of the project wIll Involve the follOWIng expendItures: o Increase In approprIatIon authorIty for the current fIscal year in LIne Item 18-21313-263-128/9-607 (RelocatIon) from $10,0139 to $16,900 and decrease In approprIatIon authorIty in the amount of $6,13139 from LIne Item 18-2130-263-128/9-741 (ContIngency). o InclUSIon of $6,131313 In the fIscal year 1984-85 Redevelopment Agency budget for sIdewalk constructIon In LIne Item 18-200-263-128/9-761 (SIte Improvements).
