FROM: REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY STAFF
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER ISSUANCE BY THE CALIFORNIA
STATEWIDE COMMUNITIES DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF BONDS
WITHIN THE CITY OF TUSTIN
SUMMARY:
A public hearing has been noticed to consider the request by California Statewide Communities
Development Authority (CSCDA) to issue tax exempt multi-family housing revenue bonds for
purposes of financing the acquisition and construction of the 240 unit Coventry Court project at
Tustin Legacy.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution 10-79 approving the issuance of Multi-
family housing revenue bonds for the purpose of financing the acquisition and construction of
the Coventry Court Senior Citizen Apartment Project, subject to conditions contained in the
resolution.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact anticipated.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council is being asked to adopt a resolution which would approve the issuance of
multifamily housing revenue bonds by the California Statewide Communities Development
Authority ("CSCDA") for the purpose of financing the acquisition and construction of a multi-
family residential housing facility to be located in the City (the "Project"). The purpose of the
resolution is to allow the financing to meet a requirement of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
The adoption of this resolution is the first step in the process of financing the proposed Project.
Prior to the issuance of bonds, the Project will need to receive "private activity bond" allocation
from the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee (CDLAC) and CSCDA will be required to
adopt a resolution which would approve the execution and delivery of certain bond documents
that would reflect the terms of the bonds.
The Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") requires that the "applicable elected
representatives" of the jurisdiction in which a project to be financed with "private activity bonds"
Page 2
is situated adopt a resolution approving the issuance of such "private activity bonds" after
holding a public hearing which has been noticed in a newspaper of general circulation in such
jurisdiction. The City Council is being asked to hold such public hearing which has been noticed
as required by the Code. The proposed resolution would act as the approval by the "applicable
elected representatives" with respect to the proposed Project. The CDLAC application for
"private activity bond" allocation for amulti-family housing project requires the inclusion of the
approval resolution. If the City Council adopts this resolution, CSCDA will proceed with the
submission to CDLAC of an application for "private activity bond" allocation for the purpose of
financing the acquisition and rehabilitation of the Project.
As announced in the published notice, this hearing is simply an opportunity for all interested
persons to speak or to submit written comments concerning the proposal to issue the debt, the
nature or location of the Project. There is no obligation on the part of the City Council to
respond to any specific comments made or submitted at the public hearing.
The City would not be a party to the financing documents. As set forth in Section 9 of the
Amended and Restated Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement of CSCDA, the debt would not be
secured by any form of taxation, or by any obligation of either the City or CSCDA. Neither
would the debt represent or constitute a general obligation of either the City or CSCDA.
Pursuant to the governing California statutes and the JPA Agreement, a member of CSCDA is
not responsible for the repayment of obligations incurred by CSCDA. The debt would be
payable solely from amounts received pursuant to the terms and provisions of financing
agreements to be executed by the developer of the proposed facility. In the financing
documents the developer will also provide comprehensive indemnification to CSCDA and its
members, including the City.
The City's membership in the Authority bears with it no cost or other financing obligation, but
serves as a public acknowledgement by the host jurisdiction of the project financing. However,
recognizing issues associated with the Coventry Court project, the proposed resolution which is
attached for consideration by the City Council recommends that the City Council's action be
expressly conditioned upon the requirement that the Project specifically comply with all
requirements of City Council Resolution 10-70, including but not limited to the requirement for
the developer to enter into the specific Supplemental City Regulatory Agreement on the Project
attached as Exhibit A, which includes compliance with all City Council entitlement conditions for
the project (Attachments 1-3 of Exhibit A), as well the requirement to enter into a regulatory
agreement related to the affordability and age restrictions for the project (Attachment 4 of
Exhibit A). Exhibit A also includes a requirement on the Project to reimburse the City an
administrative fee as long as the Project or any portion of the Project is exempt from property
tax levies.
CSCDA staff will be available at the meeting as well as City Council staff to answer any
questions that the City Council might have at the hearing.

(TTM) 16581 by City Council Resolution No. 05-40, and Final Tract Map (FTM)
16581 by City Council Resolution No. 06-17. The project proposed as rental
units necessitates text amendments to CP 03-003, and TTM 16581 and FTM
16581 to ensure consistency of the approved housing tenure type from
ownership to rental senior units, and that the necessary amendments are
determined to be consistent with the intent of the approved Concept Plan and

On January 16, 2001, the City of Tustin certified the Program Final
Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report for the Reuse
and Disposal of MCAS Tustin (FEIS/EIR), which evaluated the environmental
impacts of the reuse and disposal of MCAS-Tustin, in conjunction with the
adoption of a Speck Plan. On February 3, 2003, the Tustin City Council
adopted Ordinance No. 1257, which adopted the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan.

associated with development on the former Marine Corps Air Station, Tustin.
The development of Coventry Court at Columbus Square is a residential
development project that is being undertaken to implement and is consistent
with the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, as amended. No substantial changes in
the project or circumstances under which it is being undertaken have occurred
and no new information which was not known at the time the EIR was certified
(or amended) has become available. Therefore, the proposed project is exempt
from additional environmental review under CEQA.

Permit 09-024 for development of a 240-unit senior housing project age restricted
for persons of 55 years or older for rental tenure utilizing a parking standard of

Affordable Housing Unit becomes available for renting, by renting the units to Very Low
Income Households, Low Income Households and Moderate Income Households as applicable to
such units. Should multiple tenants be equally eligible and qualified for a Very Low Income
Unit, Low Income Unit or Moderate Income Unit, Developer shall lease available units to such
eligible tenants on a first-come, first-served, and non-discriminatory basis. Developer shall
notify the Program Administrator of any Affordable Housing Unit that either (a) fails to be
leased within thirty (30) days after the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the unit to a
Very Low Income Household, Low Income Household or Moderate Income Household, as may
be applicable (the "Initial Leasing Period"), or (b) becomes available as a result of tenant
vacation of the premises.
3.3.5 Developer shall create and maintain an "interest list" which includes all
those potential Senior Citizen tenants who have expressed an interest in leasing a unit within the
Project. The interest list shall designate whether a potential Senior Citizen tenant is in a Very
Low Income Household, Low Income Household or Moderate Income Household. The interest
list shall clearly designate whether such potential tenant will be receiving rental assistance under
the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Section 8 program.
3.3.6 An Affordable Housing Unit that either (a) fails to be leased within the
Initial Leasing Period to a Very Low Income Household, Low Income Household or Moderate
Income Household, as may be applicable, or (b) becomes available as a result of tenant vacation
of the premises, shall be rented to a new eligible and qualified Senior Citizen tenant in
accordance with the following procedure:
3.3.6.1 Developer shall make a reasonable effort to contact eligible and
qualified prospective Senior Citizen tenants listed on the "interest list" created in Subsection
3.3.5 above, and Developer shall lease available units to such eligible tenants on a first-come,
first-served, basis;
3.3.6.2 Each such eligible and qualified prospective Very Low Income
Household(s), Low Income Household(s), or Moderate Income Household(s) shall have five (5)
business days after being contacted by Developer to notify Developer of the tenant's intent to
accept the unit, and must thereafter execute a lease for the unit within seven (7) days of such
acceptance;
3.3.6.3 Failure of the eligible and qualified prospective Very Low
Income Household(s), Low Income Household(s), or Moderate Income Household(s) to timely
notify Developer of accepting the unit or to thereafter timely execute a lease for the unit, shall be
deemed a rejection of the unit, and Developer may seek other eligible tenants as set forth in
Subsections 3.3.6 and 3.3.7 and following.
3.3.7 In the event the "interest list" maintained by Developer as provided in
Section 3.3.5 does not include a prospective Senior Citizen tenant that is eligible and qualified
as a tenant of a vacant Affordable Housing Unit, or in the event Developer is unable to lease a
vacant Affordable Housing Unit after fully complying with the procedures set forth in
Subsections 3.3.6, then Developer may lease the restricted unit to any eligible and qualified
-5-
Very Low Income Household, Low Income Household or Moderate Income Household for
the appropriate restricted unit.
3.3.8 Senior Citizens who are in Very Low Income Households, Low Income
Households or Moderate Income Households who occupy Affordable Housing Units at the
expiration of the Qualified Project Period and who qualify as Very Low Income Households,
Low Income Households or Moderate Income Households on such date shall be permitted to
continue to occupy those Affordable Housing Units for a period of one (1) year, beginning on
the first day after the expiration of the Qualified Project Period; provided, however, that (i)
annual rent increases during such one (1) year period shall not exceed an amount equal to the
existing rent for such unit plus an amount equal to the greater of five percent (5%) or (ii) the
increase that would have been permitted had the Qualified Project Period not expired. Except
as provided in the preceding sentence, upon the expiration of the Qualified Project Period, the
Affordable Housing Units shall no longer be subject to the provisions of this Section 3.
3.3.9 The Developer agrees to provide to Very Low Income Households, Low
Income Households and Moderate Income Households within the Project notice of all rent
increases pursuant to all applicable Governmental Requirements, including rules and
regulations of the State of California.
3.4 Rental Rates. Rental rates for all Affordable Housing Units to which this
Regulatory Agreement is applicable shall not exceed the higher of following:
3.4.1 The "Affordable Rent" for Very Low Income Households, Low Income
Households and Moderate Income Households shall be as defined in Exhibit "B"; or
3.4.2 If the Senior Citizen in a Very Low Income Household or Low Income
Household receives a federal or State rental subsidy and that Very Low Income Household or
Low Income Household pays as a contribution toward rent no more than 30% of the household's
adjusted income, then the maximum rent (i.e., tenant contribution plus any rental subsidy) is the
fair market rent (FMR) allowable under the federal or State rental subsidy certificate or voucher
program. To obtain the maximum monthly rent that may be charged to a qualified Tenant that is
subject to this limitation, the Developer shall multiply the annual adjusted income of the
qualified Tenant by 30 percent (30%) and divide by 12 and, if applicable, subtract a monthly
allowance for any utilities and services (excluding telephone) to be paid by the tenant to be used
in calculating the maximum rent allowed under this Subsection 3.4.
3.5 Voucher Holders. No Very Low Income Unit or Lower Income Unit shall be
refused for leasing to a holder of a certificate or voucher under 24 CFR Part 982 Section 8 Rental
Certificate Program or Section 8 Rental Voucher Program or to the holder of a comparable
document evidencing participation in a tenant-based assistance program because of the status of
the prospective Very Low Income Household or Low Income Household as a holder of such
certificate of family participation, rental voucher, or comparable tenant-based assistance
document.
-6-
3.6 Rent Schedule and Utility Allowances. The Program Administrator shall
annually review, at Developer's sole cost, and approve rents proposed by the Developer for the
Very Low Income Units, Low Income Units and Moderate Income Units to determine that the
Developer has properly applied the restrictions contained in this Section 3 and shall provide the
Developer with a schedule establishing the monthly allowances for utilities and services to be
paid by the Very Low Income Households, Low Income Households and Moderate Income
Households who occupy the Affordable Housing Units. The Developer shall re-examine the
income of each tenant household living in the Affordable Housing Units at least annually. The
maximum monthly rent shall be recalculated by the Developer and reviewed and approved by the
Program Administrator annually, and may change as changes in the applicable gross rent
amounts, the income adjustments, or the monthly allowance for utilities and services warrant.
The Developer shall not impose on a tenant an increase in rent approved by the Program
Administrator if that increase is not permitted to be imposed under the lease between Developer
and the tenant. Developer shall provide not less than sixty (60) days prior written notice to
affected tenants before implementing any increase in rents.
3.7 Increases in Tenant Income.
3.7.1 If, as a result of the annual re-examination of incomes required pursuant to
Subsection 3.10.2, the Developer determines that a household that qualified as a Very Low
Income Household for purposes of Section 3.3 above, no longer is a Very Low Income
Household but instead qualifies as a Low Income Household, then the Developer may require
that household to pay the Affordable Rent for Low Income Senior Citizen Units, and the
Developer shall lease the next available Lower Income Senior Citizen Unit or Moderate Income
Senior Citizen Unit to a Very Low Income Household at the rent permitted under Section 3.3.
3.7.2 If, as a result of the annual re-examination of incomes required pursuant to
Subsection 3.10.2, the Developer determines that a household that qualified as a Very Low
Income Household for purposes of Section 3.3 above, no longer is a Very Low Income
Household but instead qualifies as a Moderate Income Household, then the Developer may
require that household to pay the Affordable Rent for Moderate Income Senior Citizen Units,
and the Developer shall lease the next available Moderate Income Senior Citizen Unit to a Very
Low Income Household at the rent permitted under Section 3.3.
3.7.3 If, as a result of the annual re-examination of incomes required pursuant to
Subsection 3.10.2, the Developer determines that a household that qualified as a Low Income
Household for purposes of Section 3.3 above, no longer is a Low Income Household but instead
qualifies as a Moderate Income Household, then the Developer may require that household to
pay the Affordable Rent for Moderate Income Households, and the Developer shall lease the
next available Moderate Income Unit to a Low Income Household at the rent permitted under
Section 3.3.
3.7.4 If, as a result of the annual re-examination of incomes required pursuant to
Subsection 3.10.2, the Developer determines that a household that qualified as a Very Low
Income Household, Low Income Household or Moderate Income Household for purposes of
Section 3.3 above, no longer is a Very Low Income Household, Low Income Household or
-7-
Moderate Income Household, then the Developer may require that household to pay the fair
market rent, and the Developer shall lease the next available apartment unit in the Project to a
Very Low Income Household, Low Income Household or Moderate Income Household
(whichever class of tenant the original Affordable Housing Unit was to be rented to) at the
Affordable Rent for such Very Low Income Household, Low Income Household or Moderate
Income Household. Such next available apartment unit shall then be deemed to be a Very Low
Income Unit, Low Income Unit or Moderate Income Unit, as the case may be, subject to the
provisions of this Section 3, and the previous unit shall no longer be subject to the provisions of
this Section 3.
3.7.5 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, it is the intent of this
Regulatory Agreement that the number of Very Low Income Units, Low Income Units and
Moderate Income Units be allocated as among the Affordable Housing Units as provided in
Section 3.2. In the event the foregoing provisions result in an allocation of Affordable Housing
Units different from that provided in Section 3.2, Developer shall lease the next available
Affordable Housing Unit to a Very Low Income Household, Low Income Household or
Moderate Income Household, as the case maybe, in order to correct the allocation.
3.8 Minimum Rents. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 3,
Developer shall not be required to charge a rent for a Very Low Income Unit, Low Income Unit
or Moderate Income Unit that would be lower than the maximum rent Developer would have
been permitted to charge for the Very Low Income Unit, Low Income Unit or Moderate Income
Unit had the determination of maximum rent been made on the date the City and Developer
entered into this Regulatory Agreement.
3.9 Tenant Protections.
3.9.1 Rental Agreement. The rental agreement between Developer and a Very
Low Income Household, Low Income Household or Moderate Income Household must be for
not less than one year, unless the Program Administrator provides prior written approval, and
may not contain any of the following provisions:
3.9.1.1 Any agreement by the tenant to be sued, to admit guilt, or to a
judgment in favor of the Developer in a lawsuit brought in connection with the lease.
3.9.1.2 Any agreement by the tenant that the Developer may take, hold,
or sell personal property of household members without notice to the tenant and a court decision
on the rights of the parties. This prohibition, however, does not apply to an agreement by the
tenant concerning disposition of personal property remaining in the Unit after the tenant has
moved out of the Unit. The Developer may dispose of such personal property in accordance
with applicable State law.
3.9.1.3 Any agreement by the tenant not to hold the Developer or its

the opportunity to present a defense, or before a court decision on the rights of the parties.

appeal, or to otherwise challenge in court, a court decision in connection with the lease.
3.9.1.8 Any agreement by the tenant to pay attorney's fees or other legal
costs even if the tenant wins in a court proceeding by the Developer against the tenant. The
tenant, however, maybe obligated to pay costs if the tenant loses.
3.9.2 Termination of Tenancy. Developer may not terminate the tenancy or
refuse to renew the lease of a Very Low Income Household, Low Income Household or
Moderate Income Household except for violation of the terms and conditions of the lease; for
violation of applicable federal, State, or local law; or for other good cause. Any termination or
refusal to renew must be preceded by not less than sixty (60) days by the Developer's service
upon the tenant of a written notice specifying the grounds for the action.
3.10 Very Low Income Low Income and Moderate Income Senior Citizen Tenants;

the Program Administrator a copy of a certificate identifying said date and the beginning date
and earliest ending date of the Qualified Project Period, which certificate shall be in the form
provided by Program Administrator or otherwise approved by Program Administrator. The
Developer shall record a copy of such certificate in the Official Records.
3.10.2 The Developer shall obtain, complete and maintain on file Verifications of
Income and age qualification, in the form provided by Program Administrator, from each Very

year, or such other date as may be mutually agreed upon by the Program Administrator and the
Developer, and in no event less than once in every twelve-month period following each Very
Low Income Household's, Low Income Household's and Moderate Income Household's
occupancy of a Unit in the Project.
3.10.3 A copy of the most recent Verification of Income and Senior Citizen age
qualification for Very Low Income Household, Low Income Household and Moderate Income
-9-
Household commencing occupation or continuing occupation of a Very Low Income Unit, Low
Income Unit or Moderate Income Unit (and not previously filed) shall be attached to the
Certificate of Continuing Program Compliance, in the form provided by Program Administrator,
which is to be filed with the Program Administrator no later than the fifteenth (15'h) day of each
month following the receipt by the Program Administrator of the Completion Certificate to and
including the month in which such report indicates that fifty percent (50%) of the units in the
Project are occupied by Senior Citizens in Very Low Income Households, Low Income
Households and Moderate Income Households and, thereafter, no later than the first day of the
sixth month of each calendar year until the end of the Qualified Project Period.
3.10.4 The Developer shall make a diligent and good-faith effort to verify that the
information provided by an applicant in the Verification of Income and Senior Citizen age
qualification information is accurate by taking the following steps, as a part of the verification
process: (1) obtain copy of Birth Certificate or other evidence of tenant's qualifying age
acceptable to the Program Administrator; (2) obtain pay stubs for the most recent one-month
period, and; (3) obtain income W-2 Wage and Earning Statements and tax returns for the most
recent tax year; alternatively, if determined appropriate for the tenant's situation the following
may be submitted (a) income verification from the Social Security Administration and/or the
California Department of Social Services if the applicant receives assistance from either of such
agencies; or (b) if the applicant is unemployed, does not have income tax returns or is otherwise
unable to provide other forms of verification as required above, obtain another form of
independent verification satisfactory to the Program Administrator.
3.10.5 The Developer will maintain complete and accurate records pertaining to
the Very Low Income Units, Low Income Units and Moderate Income Units and will permit any
duly authorized representative of the City, without limitation, to inspect the books and records of
the Developer pertaining to the Project, including those records pertaining to the occupancy of
the Affordable Housing Units.
3.10.6 The Developer will prepare and submit to the Program Administrator no
later than the first day of the sixth month of each calendar year until the end of the Qualified
Project Period, a Certificate of Continuing Program Compliance executed by the Developer with
the following information:
3.10.6.1 The number of the dwelling units of the Project which were
occupied, pursuant to Section 3.1 above, by Very Low Income Households, Low Income
Households and Moderate Income Households during such period and such other tenant
information as may be reasonably required as stated on the form of the Certificate of Continuing
Program Compliance acceptable to the Program Administrator; and
3.10.6.2 A statement that either (i) no unremedied default has occurred
under this Regulatory Agreement or (ii) a default has occurred, in which event the Certificate
shall describe the nature of the default in detail and set forth the measures being taken by the
Developer to remedy such default.
-io-
3.10.7 Each lease or rental agreement for an Affordable Housing Unit shall
contain a provision to the effect that the Developer has relied on the Verification of Income and
Senior Citizen age qualification and supporting information supplied by the Very Low Income
Household, Low Income Household or Moderate Income Household in determining qualification
for occupancy of the Very Low Income Units, Low Income Units and Moderate Income Units
and that any material misstatement in such verification (whether or not intentional) will be cause
for immediate termination of such lease or rental agreement. Each such lease or rental
agreement shall also provide (and shall so disclose to the tenant) that the tenant's income is
subject to annual verification in accordance with Section 10.2, and that, if upon review of any
such verification, the tenant's income exceeds the then applicable income limit for a Very Low
Income, Low Income or Moderate Income Household, such tenant shall cease to qualify as a
Low Income Household, Low Income Household, or Moderate Income Household and, as a
consequence, said Tenant's lease shall be subject to termination on such prior notice as the
Program Administrator deems reasonable.
3.10.8 Local Workforce Housing Preference Policy. In marketing and renting
units to Very Low Income, Low Income and Moderate Income Senior Citizen Tenants, the
Developer shall establish a priority system that ensures that prospective rental applicants who
are currently employed in or currently residing in the City of Tustin have priority over an
applicant that does not currently reside or is not employed in the City of Tustin (hereinafter
referred to as the "Local Preference Policy", adopted by the Tustin City Council on November 6,
2007). To qualify for the Local Preference, Developer shall require an applicant to demonstrate a
minimum of six months of current employment or current residency in Tustin. The Developer
shall refer to the Local Preference Policy for detailed information required to be submitted by
Developer for verification of residency and local employment and to ensure Developer's
compliance with the Local Preference Policy.
3.11 Termination of Affordable Housing Covenants. The provisions of this Section 3
shall terminate in their entirety at the end of one year following the expiration of the Qualified
Project Period.

represents, warrants and covenants as follows:

the right to lease and Developer shall lease to City on demand for a rental of $1.00 per Unit per
year any and all of the "Non-Complying Affordable Housing Units" at such time as the Non-
complying Affordable Housing Unit(s) is vacated. Notwithstanding any term or condition of the

Subsection 11.2, Developer hereby consents to and grants City the right to assign such lease or
sublet such Unit(s) to a Very Low Income Household, Low Income Household or Moderate

to the extent necessary to ensure compliance with Section 3 hereof, shall sublease such Assisted
Unit(s) or assign such lease(s) to any Very Low Income Household, Low Income Household or

assignment shall be paid to the Developer after the City or Provider, as the case maybe, has been
reimbursed for any reasonable expenses incurred by it in connection with exercising the rights
and remedies set forth in this Subsection 11.2.2; provided however, if the Developer is in Default
under any Permitted Mortgage representing Senior Obligations, the Deeds of Trust and/or any
other City approved encumbrance under the DDA in connection with the financing of the
Property or any Improvements thereon, such rent shall be paid to the party legally entitled thereto
under the terms of the applicable loan.
