BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On May 1, 2000 th'e City Council approved an Amended and Restated Joint Exercise of
Powers Agreement relating to the California Statewide Communities Development Authority
("CSCDA"), dated as of June 1, 1988 to provide for the issuance of certain revenue bonds
pursuant to the provisions of the Joint Powers Act, under Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title 1 of
the Government Code of the State of California. CSCDA is authorized by its Agreement to
issue bonds, note, or other evidences of indebtedness, or certificates of participation in leases
or other agreements in order to promote economic development, including the provision and
maintenance of multifamily housing. Under the terms of the Agreement, CSCDA may not
approve a financing unless the governing body of the Program Participant in whose jurisdiction
the project is located approves the project and the financing thereof. The foregoing is deemed
satisfied if the governing body of the Program Participant holds a public hearing (upon at least
14 days prior written notice published in a qualified newspaper) and adopts the TEFRA
Resolution approving the financing to be undertaken through CSCDA.
CSCDA has recommended the terms of financing to authorize issuance of Multifamily Housing
Revenue Bonds in the amount not to exceed $24,850,000 to finance the acquisition and
rehabilitation of the 246-unit Park Place Apartments. On January 19, 2001 CSCDA issued an
inducement letter for the project subject to the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee
(CDLAC) approval on May 8, 2001 of a private activity, bond allocation in an amount not to
exceed $24,850,000. The required written notice of the TEFRA hearing was published in the
Orange County Register on March 2, 2001.
Details of the proposed project include the following'
The property currently suffers from deferred maintenance. The Developer will cure the
deferred maintenance and make project enhancements at an estimated cost of
approximately $15,000 per unit. The proposed renovation includes' roof replacements;
exterior stucco painting and wood trim replacement; repair or replacement of damaged
concrete walks; resurfacing the asphalt driveway; exterior lighting enhancements, patio
fencing repairs; new property signage, landscaping and wrought iron fencing, and; installing
playground equipment. Additionally, the rental office, playgrounds and recreation room will
be renovated. Construction of the improvements on the units and common areas will be
completed in approximately 15 months.
Interior renovations will include new dishwashers, refrigerators, gas ranges and hood fans,
kitchen faucets and garbage disposals in all units. All units will also be renovated with new
carpeting and vinyl flooring, kitchen and bathroom counters will be resurfaced, and the
kitchen and bathroom cabinets will be refurbished. Additional improvements include' new
light fixtures; electrical wiring repair; hard-wired smoke detectors in hallway and new
battery units in bedrooms, replacement of hot water heaters; combination of new AC units
and repair of radiant heating systems; interior painting; sub-floo.r and ceiling repairs, and;
window and slider door replacement, and 'new window coverings.

Pursuant to requirements of the Iow-income housing tax credits to be utilized for this
project, 60% of the units will need to be occupied by households having incomes not to
exceed 60% of area median incomes which the Developer expects to achieve by the time
of construction completion in fifteen months. The Iow-income housing units will be
restricted by covenants for the longer of 1) the term of the mortgage bond financing or 2)
the period of the lan'd use controls under the Town Center Redevelopment Plan.
Based on a review of federal and state relocation laws, the City and Developer are of the
opinion that the issuance of bonds and any subsequent move by households from the
project would not be considered displacement pursuant to federal and State relocation laws
which would require the provision of relocation assistance. Developer has agreed to
indemnify and hold the City harmless against any relocation costs. The Developer will
nonetheless still offer services to any affected households, including: a) a minimum of 60
days advance notice to vacate which exceeds the 30-day advance notice legally required;
b) information on comparable housing available in the area; and c) during the last two (2)
days and the initial two (2) days of any calendar month, Developer will make available a
commercial rental moving truck to be operated by the tenant at no cost to the tenant. The
Developer intends to work with individual residents to minimize the inconvenience caused
by the move.
In consideration of the City's support for this project, specific conditions have been prepared by
Staff to either be incorporated into the Issuer's Regulatory Agreement or a Supplemental
Regulatory Agreement between the City and the Developer. The conditions for the City's
support are attached as Exhibit A for the City Council's approval.

Re' Park Place Apartments - Request for Redevelopment Agency TEFRA Hearing
Dear Mr. Bernard:
In April 2000, the Agency and City of Tustin Community Development Department completed a prope.wy
inspection of the subject property and identified deferred maintenance items and other improvements at
the Park Place Apartments that we would require to be corrected as a condition to supporting the project.
The City's and Agency's objectives are to up=o-fade the overall .conditions at the prope,wy including a
complete renovation of the interiors of all.un/ts and the general rehabilitation of the exterior conditions of
the buildings. This will require a thorough review by the Agency of the preliminary project cost analysis
to ensure that such improvements are addressed.
The following improvements need to be reflected in the project budget to address site conditions
identified in our inspection of the property.
Ar~artrnent Unit Interiors
· Replacement of kitchen fixtures and appliances including sinks, faucets and garbage disposals,
counter tops and cabinet faces, lights fixtures, dishwashers, stoves (cook tops/ovens) and vent fans,
refrigerators, and sheet vinyl flooring in all units to a uniform standard.
· Repair/Replacement of bathroom fixtures including toilets, sinks, tubs, shower enclosures, faucets,
light fixtures, vent fans and sheet vinyl flooring in all units to a uniform standard.
· Repair[Replacement of heating and cooling equipment, hot water heaters (replace if over 10 years
old), electrical, outlets and light fixtures, and floor covering throughout all units to a uniform standard
and install hard-wired smoke detectors.
Ar)artment Buildint Exteriors
· Re-roofing of all buildings (fiat & pitched segments) including replacement of damaged wood
(support and sheathing), flashing and dox~mspouts.
· Stucco repair including weather proofing around doors and windows.
· Exterior painting of building wails and wood trim.
· Repair/Replace termite and dry rot damaged wood trim and structural members.
· Repair?Replace all exterior stairs, hand rails and second story balconies railings to current code
requirements.

Repair/Install exterior lighting for increased safety and security.
Install improved signage including building identification (walls and roof) to enhance fire and safety
response capability. '
Landscape and Paving
· Repair/Replace asphalt paving in driveways and parking areas.
· Upg-rade trash enclosures per City code requirements.
· Provide secured access to swimming pool area per code requirements.
· Open perimeter wall along Main Street for increased police visibility.
· Repair/replace landscape and irrigation in planting areas as needed.'
The above improvements would be required under a supplemental regulatory ag'reement with fne Agency
for the issuance of tax-exempt bonds for the acquisition and rehabilitation of the Park Place Apartments.
Performance under the agreement would be secured by an irrevocable letter of credit to the CiD' of Tustin
or other form of security accepmble to the Agency's Executive Director for the full amount of the
rehabilitation improvements.
On May 1, 2000, the Tustin Citf' Council authorized the execution of an Exercise of Joint Powers by the
City and California Statewide Communities Development Authority for the issuance of private activity
bonds for multifamily housing financing. As we've discussed, if the proposed acquisition financing is to
be undertaken with a qualified non-profit entity, the supplemental regulatoD' agreement would also
provide for payments of an annual administrative fee in the amount equivalent to the properrf~.' tax levies
that would otherwise be received by the City of Tustin. The supplemental regulatory ageement for the
Park Place Apartment acquisitiorv'rehabilitation project will contain the following conditions'
,
For as long as the Park Place Apartments project is exempt from property tax levies, the oxx"ners of the
project shall make an in-house annual administrative fee payment to the Cir>., of Tustin in an amount
equal to the City's normal share of property taxes for the subject propert3.'. The fee for the first year
shall be the City of Tustin's 2001-2002 property tax share for the project commencing and due on
April 30, 2002. Each year thereafter on the anniversary of the first payment due date. tine Park Place
Apartments ox~mer shall pay to the City of Tustin an administrative fee equal to the prior year's
payment, plus an additional two percent (2%).
The fee shall be payable to the City of Tustin Finance Director at 300 Centennial Way, Tustin,
California 92780-1089, or at such other place or places as the City from time to time may desig-nate
by written notice to the Park Place Apartments owner. A ten percent (107..;) default payment shall be
added to any late payment, together with interest from the date such pa>2ent was due at the rate of
seven percent (7%) per annum until paid.
The Park Place .Apartments owner and California Statewide are of the opinion that tax-exempt
financing for the project would not constitute displacement that would require the provision of
relocation assistance. The owners of Park Place Apartments shall hold tine City of Tustin harmless
from any relocation liabilit5' that might be possibly created by the residential uses contemplated in the
proposed financing and residential pro.am described in item 2 above.
