("Agency") pursuant to Article Section 33490 of California Community Redevelopment Law ("CRL") (FIGURE 1- 1). It is the Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan ("Plan") for the Redevelopment Plans ("Redevelopment Plans") for the Town Center and South Central Redevelopment Projects ("Project(s)" or "Project Areas") in the City of Tustin (the "City"). Redevelopment Agencies are required to adopt an Implementation Plan every five years. The Implementation Plan may include more than one project area. On December 5, 1994, the City Council approved the initial Implementation Plan that incorporated both the Town Center and South Central Project Areas. Subsequently, the Agency's Second Five-Year Implementation Plan was adopted in 2000, and the Third Five-Year Implementation Plan in 2004. A Mid-Term Report on the Third Five-Year Implementation Plan, which provides a review of progress midway through the five years, and a public hearing occurred in June 2008. FIGURE 1-1 SUMMARY OF LEGAL REQUIREMENTS California Community Redevelopment Law, Article 16.5, Section 33490 Section 33490(a) of the California Community Redevelopment Law requires each redevelopment agency to adopt an implementation plan every five years that includes: • The Agency's specific goals and objectives for its redevelopment project areas. • Specific programs, including potential projects, and estimated expenditures for the next five years. • An explanation of how these goals, objectives, projects, and expenditures will eliminate blight in the Project Areas. • An explanation of how these specific goals, objectives, projects and expenditures will implement the low and moderate-income housing requirements mandated by law, including the following: 1. An annual Housing .Program for the five-year term that provides sufficient detail to measure performance of the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund requirements. 2. An estimate of the number of housing units to be rehabilitated, assisted, price restricted, or destroyed during the term of the redevelopment plan for the Town Center and South Central redevelopment project. 3. An outline of the Agency's plan in using the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund including annual deposits, transfer of funds, or accruals for special projects. 4. An identification of programs and projects that will result in the destruction of existing affordable housing (if any) and the proposed locations for replacement housing. 5. The Agency's Ten-Year Housing Affordability Compliance Plan as required by California Community Redevelopment Law, Sections 33413(b)(4) and 33490 (a)(2). The Plan is comprised of two major components: A Five-Year Implementation Plan for Redevelopment Activities (non-Housing) and aFive-Year Implementation Plan for Housing Activities. The purpose of the Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan for Redevelopment activities is as follows: • Revisit the goals and objectives of the Redevelopment Plan. • Define the Agency's strategy for achieving the goals and objectives of the Redevelopment Plan. Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page I 1 • Identify anticipated programs, projects and estimated expenditures for the next five-year period (Fiscal Years 2010/2011 through 2014/2015). • Describe how these programs, projects, and expenditures will eliminate blight in the Project Area. The Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan should address the Agency's housing activities as follows: • Demonstrate how the statutory requirements for the set-aside and expenditure of tax increment for housing purposes will be met including programs, projects and expenditures directed towards increasing, improving, and preserving the community's supply of low and moderate-income housing. • Identify how residential development will be implemented in the Project Area per the Agency's established goals and incompliance with the CRL. The elimination of blight as summarized, which follows in FIGURE 1-2 below, is a fundamental purpose for redevelopment under CRL and is discussed more fully in Section 2 of this Plan. The provision of affordable housing is another fundamental purpose under the CRL, and is addressed in Section 3 of this Plan. While identification of specific programs, including projects, and estimates of expenditures proposed to be made is required under CRL, the Implementation Plan should be viewed as a policy and program document. The intent is not to restrict the Agency's activities since the conditions, expectations, resources, and needs of the Project may change from time to time. Rather, this Plan outlines the current expectations of the Agency for the next five years. This Plan will be subject to a mid-term review by the Agency Board of Directors. Blight A primary requirement of a Redevelopment Project and an Implementation Plan is to address the elimination of and the prevention of the spread of blight. FIGURE 1-2 provides a definition of physical and economic blight conditions under the CRL existing at the time of adoption of the Town Center and South Central Redevelopment Plans. The CRL has been amended since the adoption of the Plans, but the operative definitions of blight, for purposes of the Plan, are as set forth in FIGURE 1-2. Some of the conditions continue to exist in the Town Center and South Central Project Areas and are addressed in Section 2 and Section 3 of this Implementation Plan. Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page 12 FIGURE 1-2 PHYSICAL AND ECONOMIC BLIGHT DEFINED AT TIME OF ADOPTION At the time the Town Center and South Central Redevelopment Projects were adopted, Section 33032 of the Law (which was repealed in 1994) provided that a blighted area was one which was characterized by, among other things: The existence of inadequate public improvements, public facilities, open spaces, and utilities which cannot be remedied by private or governmental action without redevelopment. A blighted area is currently defined as one that exhibits both physical and economic blight, and is characterized by the existence of inadequatepublc improvements, parking facilities, or both. PHYSICAL AND ECONOMIC BLIGHT REVISED PER CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT LAW, ARTICLE 3, SECTIONS 33030 AND 33031 CRL Sections 33030 and 33031 define blight to include: Physical Conditions that cause Blight: Unsafe/Dilapidated/Deteriorated Buildings.

The Town Center Redevelopment Project contains commercial, service-commercial, neighborhood commercial and residential land uses. Although a precise breakdown of land uses is not available, the predominant land use in the Town Center Redevelopment Project is primarily commercial retail and service-oriented uses, which is estimated to approximate 90% of the total area. Residential and public/institutional uses account for approximately 5% each of the Town Center Redevelopment Project's land. Residential uses are mostly multi-family with a very small proportion of the Town Center Redevelopment Project containing single-family and mobile home uses. Public institutional uses include two parks (Columbus Tustin and Peppertree), the Civic Center, the Tustin Library, the Tustin School District administrative offices, Tustin Senior Center, Columbus Tustin Intermediate School, and the Tustin Post Office. The Town Center Redevelopment Project is generally bounded by portions of Beneta Avenue and Irvine Boulevard on the north, Interstate Highway 5 (Santa Ana Freeway) on the south, portions of Prospect Avenue and "B" Street on the west, and portions of Newport Avenue and Main Street on the east. The general objectives of the Town Center Redevelopment Plan are the elimination and prevention of blight in the Town Center Redevelopment Project. The Town Center Redevelopment Plan calls for constructing and improving streets, utilities or other public improvements; acquiring, disposing of and redeveloping real property; participation of owners and tenants in the Town Center Redevelopment Project; management of property under Agency ownership and control; and demolition, rehabilitation or removal of buildings. In the Town Center Redevelopment Project, the Agency's goal was to eliminate existing blight and prevent the spread of blight and deterioration as described in FIGURE 2-1: Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page 16 FIGURE 2-1 REDEVELOPMENT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES-TOWN CENTER PROJECT AREA • Providing for participation by owners and residents of the Town Center Redevelopment Project by extending to them preferences to remain or relocate within the redeveloped areas should their present structures be suffering from deterioration requiring assistance; • Rehabilitation of :structures and improvements by present owners, their successors, or the Agency; • Redevelopment of land by private enterprise or public agencies for uses in accordance with the Town Center Redevelopment Plan; • Installation, construction or reconstruction of streets, utilities and other public improvements such as center islands, street trees and landscaping: • Acquisition of certain real property for public improvements or to help expedite private development; • Relocation assistance to displaced residential and non-residential occupants; • Demolition or removal. of certain buildings and improvements; • Management of any property acquired under the ownership and control of the Agency; and • Disposition of any property acquired by the Agency for uses in accordance with the Town Center Redevelopment Plan. The Tustin City Council in adopting the Town Center Redevelopment Plan also declared that its purpose and intent with respect to the Redevelopment Area was as follows: • The creation of a mixed use town center area that combines commercial, office, residential and public uses which will serve the needs of the community as well as encourage the healthy growth of the town center area to expand the hours of activity downtown, and make it more attractive as a place for shopping and entertainment. • To improve traffic circulation and access in the town center area as a means of reducing congestion, encouraging business development, attracting new customers to the area, alleviating pass-through traffic congestion and conflict, improving safety. • Revitalization and development of amenities in the project area, both public and privately financed, as a means of aiding the revitalization of the EI Camino Real section in particular. • To increase the level of capital improvement such as the development of Columbus-Tustin Park, parking facilities, sidewalk and street landscaping, street improvements and related public improvement projects. Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page ~ 7 • To increase controlled development of the area to aid in the harmonious and efficient development of the Redevelopment Area. • To encourage residential development by actively seeking private development in the Redevelopment Area to provide an increased market for the business community in this area.

Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page 18 2.1.2 SOUTH CENTRAL REDEVELOPMENT PLAN The South Central Redevelopment Project, established in 1983 (the "Original Area") with additional land area added to the Project boundaries in 1985 (the "Amended Area"), encompasses approximately 398 acres and is generally bounded by a small portion of Bryan Avenue on the north, portions of Orange Avenue, Red Hill Avenue (south of the Santa Ana (I-5) Freeways) on the east, Valencia Avenue on the south, the Costa Mesa (SR-55) Freeway on the west and northwest. The South Central Redevelopment Project was created in response to the need for basic public improvements in the area, concern for deteriorating conditions of the residential neighborhoods, and the circulation deficiencies in the South Central Redevelopment Project. The Amended Area was included in the South Central Redevelopment Project because development of the area was constrained until proposed public improvements for the South Central Redevelopment Project were funded and completed, particularly the Newport Avenue extension and a new on/off ramp at Edinger and the Costa Mesa (SR-55) Freeway. Portions of the area lack right-of-way improvements such as street lights, sidewalks, adequate street capacity and circulation. The City adopted the Pacific Center East Specific Plan (located in the South Central Redevelopment Project) to provide for an extension of Newport Avenue and much needed improvements to the Costa Mesa (SR-55) Freeway off-ramp at Edinger Avenue. The South Central Redevelopment Project will include residential, commercial, office, hotel and limited industrial technology land uses. The only public institutional uses within the South Central Redevelopment Project include the Tustin Unified School District's Lambert school site and the small McFadden Parkette. The general objectives of the South Central Redevelopment Plan are the elimination and prevention of blight in the South Central Redevelopment Project. The South Central Redevelopment Plan calls for constructing and improving streets, utilities or other public improvements; acquiring, disposing of and redeveloping real property; participation of owners and tenants in the South Central Redevelopment Project; management of property under Agency ownership and control; and demolition, rehabilitation or removal of buildings. In the South Central Redevelopment Project, the Agency's goal was to eliminate existing blight and prevent the spread of blight and deterioration as described in FIGURE 2-3.

Available financial resources are available tax increment, less the Agency's required 20% deposit to the Low and Moderate Income Housing Set-aside Fund and less existing debt and other Agency financial obligations. As identified in FIGURE 2-5, the Agency is limited in the amount of tax increment it can collect and during the 4tn Five-Year Implementation Plan it appears the limit could be reached in one of the Project Areas, impacting available financial resources. Further detail is provided below under Section 2.3.1. 2.3.1 PROJECTED REVENUES TABLE 2-5 and TABLE 2-6 identify the projected tax increment revenues that may be available to fund Town Center and South Central Project Area programs, project and expenditures over the next five years. In the Town Center Project Area, the tax increment limit is $90 million, and in the South Central Project Area, the tax increment limit is $2.5 million averaged annually. The Town Center tax increment limit is defined in Section 600 -Limitations on Finances of the 1989 Second Amendment as follows: the "limitation is exclusive of: (1) any payments to taxing agencies to alleviate financial burden made by the Agency pursuant to Section 33401 of the Community Redevelopment Law and Section 306 of this Plan; and (2) any funds required by Section 33334.2 of the Community Redevelopment Law to be deposited by the Agency in a Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund as a result of such payments to taxing agencies." The $90 million tax increment limitation is exclusive of payments to taxing agencies to alleviate financial burden pursuant to Section 306 of the Redevelopment Plan. This exclusion includes Educational Revenue Augmentation Funds (ERAF) and Supplemental Educational Revenue Augmentation Funds (SERAF) payments required to be made by the state. As noted in APPENDIX E, the Agency has received a total of $77,209,489 in tax increment through FY 2009-2010, with a total of $2,432,230 of ERAF/SERAF payments excluded from the tax increment limit, resulting in a total net increment to date of $74,777,259. Based on projections by Taussig and Associates, Inc. that the annual tax Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page 131 increment (assuming 0% growth) received will be approximately $4,675,353, the Agency would reach its Tax Increment Limit of $90,000,000 in FY 2013/14 or earlier if tax increment growth occurs more rapidly. The South Central tax increment limit is defined in Section 600 -Limitations on Finances of the 1985 South Central Project Area Amendment as follows: "The average yearly tax increment which may be collected shall not exceed 2.5 million dollars." As noted in FIGURE 2-5, the South Central Project Area's last date to receive tax increment is July 15, 2028, 46 Fiscal Years from the Plan adoption date of August 1, 1983. Multiplying the 46 years times the annual average of $2.5 million, equals a Cumulative Tax Increment Limit of $115,000,000. Based on March 2010 projections by HdL, Coren & Cone that the annual tax increment (assuming 0% growth) received will be approximately $4,412,000, the Agency would reach its Tax Increment Limit of $115,000,000 in FY 2022/23 or earlier if tax increment growth occurs more rapidly. Pursuant to CRL §33331.5 and the State adoption of ABX4-26, the Agency can extend by one year the last date to receive tax increment/repay debt for each year the Agency makes a Supplemental Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (SERAF) payment as required by the 2009-10 state budget (adoption of ABX4- 26). The Agency made a payment in FY 2009-10 and is scheduled to make another ABX4-26 required payment in FY 2010-11. After Sacramento Superior Court Judge Lloyd Connelly upheld the legality of the SERAF payments, the California Redevelopment Association filed an appeal with the Third District Court of Appeal to overturn ABX4-26. The Agency is waiting for a decision to be made on the appeal before extending the time limits. If the time limits are extended, the cumulative tax increment limit will increase to $120,000,000. The cumulative amount of tax increment received is determined before pass through payments and Housing Set-Aside funds are allocated. Although the Agency may exceed its tax increment limit for the Town Center Project Area during the Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, the Agency, pursuant to CRL §33333.8, will continue to receive and use Housing Set-Aside tax increment until the Agency has fully completed its housing obligations. The starting fund balance for each Redevelopment Project Area was based on fund balances identified in the Agency's audit for FY 2008-2009. Specific debt service and other financial obligations which affect the availability of Agency funds for future non-housing agency programs, projects and expenditures and activities are summarized in Section 2.3.2 and identified in TABLE 2-5 and 2-6. It is expected that some amount of new development will occur in the Town Center and South Central Project Areas over the next five years. However, current economic conditions have caused delay in initiation of many projects. Since it is difficult to determine or project the values that future developments will add to each Project Area and when this new value will be added, potential values of new development have not been reflected in the projections in TABLES 2-5 and 2-6. Further, no assurances are provided by the Agency as to the certainty of the projected tax increment revenues shown in TABLES 2-5 and 2-6. Actual revenues may be higher or lower than projected and can be Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page 132 subject to valuation changes resulting from new developments or transfers of ownership, actual resolution of outstanding tar. appeals, future filing of tax appeals, and/or the non-payment of taxes. There is one additional source of revenue that could become available during the Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, the repayment of the City's $18,881,750 Promissory Note with the Agency. On December 31, 2008, the City entered into a Promissory Note with the Agency to reimburse the Agency for payments made towards the purchase of the AA&E property at Edinger and State Route 55. The property was needed to construct the Newport Avenue/State Route 55 Northbound Ramp Reconfiguration Capital Improvement Project. Unless the obligation is extended by the City and Agency, as may be authorized under provisions of the Promissory Note, the Note would be due on December 31, 2013, with payment distributed equally into the Town Center and South Central Project Areas as shown in TABLES 2-5 and 2-6. Payments are expected to be made from anticipated land sale proceeds realized by the City from sale of the former AA&E property. The Agency's financial resources for funding affordable housing activities are discussed in the housing activities section of this Implementation Plan. 2.3.2 EXISTING DEBT AND OTHER FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS (NON-HOUSING AND HOUSING) The existing non-housing financial obligations for the Town Center and South Central Project Areas are generally shown in TABLE 2-5 and TABLE 2-6. Existing housing financial obligations for Town Center and South Central Project Areas are shown in TABLE 3-1 and TABLE 3-2. Housing and non- housing financial obligations are described as follows: A. TOWN CENTER EXISTING OBLIGATIONS • Tax Allocation Bonds On July 1, 1998, the Agency issued $20,805,000 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds to refund the Agency's Town Center Area Refunding Bonds, Series 1987 and the Agency's Town Center Subordinate Tax Allocation Bonds, Series 1991. Net proceeds were used to purchase Government Securities for the Series 1987 and Series 1991 Bonds which were deposited in an irrevocable trust to provide for all required future debt service payments when the Series 1987 and 1999 Bond are called for redemption. According to the Agency's Annual Financial Report, June 30, 2009, the long-term debt Balance on the 1998 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds was $13,117,685 for the debt which was expected through Fiscal Year 2015-16. In order to take advantage of current interest rates, the Tustin City Council and Agency have authorized the City's financing team to evaluate a potential bond refunding package in order to reduce the debt service over the next few years. The current debt payments are shown in TABLE 2-5 and the current debt service schedule is in APPENDIX F. Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page ~ 33 • Housing Reimbursement Agreement Between the City and Agency Related to Affordable Housing Responsibilities On June 5, 2007, the City of Tustin and the Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency entered into a reimbursement agreement for related housing responsibilities assessed to the Agency (the "Reimbursement Agreement"), subsequently amended on January 1, 2010. The Reimbursement Agreement will reimburse the City for advancing funds to assist the Agency in carrying out its affordable housing obligations under the MCAS Tustin Redevelopment Plan. The Agency may elect to utilize not only Low and Moderate Housing Set-Aside tax increment funds but other Agency tax increment revenues to retire this debt, at its discretion. • Low and Moderate-Income Housing Set-Aside Requirements Section 33334.2(a) of the CRL requires that that not less than twenty percent (20%) of annual gross tax increment revenue be set-aside to facilitate the development of housing for persons with low and moderate incomes. The Agency may choose to expend more than the mandatory 20% on an annual basis, as determined necessary, to meet existing affordable housing obligations. Additional details on Low and Moderate Income Housing Set-Aside Funds are described in the Housing Section of this Implementation Plan. • Town Center Low and Moderate-Income Housing Set-Aside Deferral. Between fiscal years 1985-86 and 1991-92, the Agency deferred depositing a total of $2,776,042 into its Low and Moderate-Income Housing Set-Aside Fund in order to pay existing obligations including bond debt service described above. Given that the Agency is approaching its tax increment limit, the repayment of this debt is programmed to occur during Fiscal Years 2011-12, 2012-13, and 2013-14 of the Five-Year Implementation Plan. • Tax Allocation Housing Bonds, Series 2010 In order to finance a portion of the Agency's obligations under the Affordable Housing Reimbursement Agreement, $26,170,000 in housing bonds were issued and closed in March 2010. The annual debt payments, including principal and interest, to be distributed across three Project Areas will be approximately $1,825,600 and total $9,128,000 during the Plan's five year period. Debt payments will be allocated to the Low and Moderate Income Housing Set-Aside tax increment revenues from three Project Areas: Town Center; South Central; and MCAS Tustin. • Supplemental Education Revenue Augmentation Fund (SERAF) As part of the 2009-10 state budget (adoption of ABx4 26), redevelopment agencies statewide were required to transfer $2.05 billion in local redevelopment funds over the next two years. The Agency transferred $6,197,557 to the County Auditor during FY 2009-10. The Agency is required to transfer an additional $1,274,732 during FY 2010-11. When Sacramento Superior Court Judge Lloyd Connelly upheld AB X4 26, the state budget bill, precedent was established Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page 134 for the state to include future takes of redevelopment funds in their state budget. As the Agency moves forward with programs and projects during the Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, the Agency will be working with the California Redevelopment Association to monitor and fight future raids of local revenue. The Agency is awaiting a court decision from the California Redevelopment Association's court appeal on the State's legislation requiring the SERAF takes in 2009-10 and 2010-11 and the legal opinion on Proposition 22 as to whether the City will continue to be required to make the FY 2010-11 payment or any future ERAF or SERAF payments during the Implementation Plan. • City Loan Repayments The City has made loans to the Project Areas including advancing funds as an investment tool, advancing funds for operating expenses, support services and capital improvements which are to be reimbursed to the City depending on the provisions of each operating loan agreement. The operating advance loans are generally reimbursed to the City on an annual basis in conjunction with the budget adoption process. APPENDIX C provides a summary of Town Center Project Area loans for both capital and services between the City and Agency. A repayment schedule does not currently exist. B. SOUTH CENTRAL EXISTING OBLIGATIONS • Low and Moderate-Income Housing Set-Aside Requirements. Section 33334.2(a) of the CRL requires that that not less than twenty percent (20%) of annual gross tax increment revenue be set-aside to facilitate the development of housing for persons with low and moderate incomes. The Agency may choose to expend more than the mandatory 20% on an annual basis, as determined necessary, to meet existing affordable housing obligations. Particulars regarding the estimated amount and planned usage of the set-aside funds are described in the Housing Section of this Implementation Plan. • Supplemental Education Revenue Augmentation Fund (SERAF) As part of the 2009-10 state budget (adoption of ABx4 26), redevelopment agencies statewide were required to transfer $2.05 billion in local redevelopment funds over the next two years. The Agency transferred $6,197,557 to the County Auditor during FY 2009-10. The Agency is required to transfer an additional $1,274,732 during FY 2010-11. When Sacramento Superior Court Judge Lloyd Connelly upheld AB X4 26, the state budget bill, precedent was established for the state to include future takes of redevelopment funds in their state budget. As the Agency moves forward with programs and projects during the Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, the Agency will be working with the California Redevelopment Association to monitor and fight future raids of local revenue. The Agency is awaiting a court decision from the California Redevelopment Association's court appeal on the State's legislation requiring the SERAF takes in 2009-10 and 2010-11 and the legal opinion on Proposition 22 as to whether the City will Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page 135 continue to be required to make the FY 2010-11 payment or any future ERAF or SERAF payments during the Implementation Plan. • Housing Reimbursement Agreement Between the City and Agency Related to Affordable Housing Responsibilities On June 5, 2007, the City of Tustin and the Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency entered into a reimbursement agreement for related housing responsibilities assessed to the Agency (the "Reimbursement Agreement"), subsequently amended on January 1, 2010. The Reimbursement Agreement will reimburse the City for advancing funds to assist the Agency in carrying out its affordable housing obligations under the MCAS Tustin Redevelopment Plan.

Debt payments will be allocated to the Low and Moderate Income Housing Set-Aside tax increment revenues from three Project Areas: Town Center; South Central; and MCAS Tustin. • City Loan Repayments The City has made loans to the Project Areas including advancing funds as an investment tool, advancing funds for operating expenses, support services and capital improvements which are to be reimbursed to the City depending on the provisions of each operating loan agreement. The operating advance loans are generally reimbursed to the City on an annual basis in conjunction with the budget adoption process. APPENDIX D provides a summary of South Central Project Area loans for both capital and services between the City and Agency. A repayment schedule does not currently exist. • Tax Sharing Agency Agreements At the time that the South Central Amended Area was adopted, the Agency entered into three agreements. The agreement with the Orange County Water District requires that the Agency pay the District $2,000 per year from the Amended Area tax increment. The Agency also entered into agreements with the South Orange County Community College District (formerly known as Saddleback Community College District) and with the Tustin Unified School District. The agreements provide that certain tax share payments would occur to each agency after the Agency has expended a certain expenditure amount for construction of facilities within the South Central Project Area Amended Area and/or it has retired bonds or other debt for such Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page 136 construction. There is no limit on the amount of debt that may be incurred in connection with the agreements. The Agency has determined the amount of outstanding debt on an annual basis in the South Central Project Area Amended Area, resulting in no tax share payments being required. The Agency does not currently anticipate that these two agreements will require tax share payments be initiated during the current limits on repayment of debt for the South Central amended area. Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page 137 2.4 AGENCY FIVE YEAR NON-HOUSING IMPLEMENTATION ACTIVITIES 2.4.1 INTRODUCTION The Implementation Plan is a document designed to be a strategic planning tool to guide Project Area activities. Non-housing implementation activities for both Project Areas will be generally associated with the following major focus areas: • Neighborhood Improvement • Economic Development • Infrastructure and Community Facilities • Administrative Program Support and Operating Costs Programs must often coincide and be overlaid to produce successful projects. Infrastructure and community facility improvements may work in concert with a private development project to ensure the desired economic development objective is achieved. Traffic flow improvements can be used to protect and enhance neighborhoods while at the same time serve to stimulate private investment and economic expansion. Projects may also need to be modified significantly during the next five years in reaction to market conditions and private development interest. The Agency's five-year implementation activities for the Town Center and South Central Project Areas are based on the availability of funding from available future tax increment sources as projected in TABLE 2-5 and TABLE 2-6, and as not already committed to existing debt service and financial obligations. While not included in the tax increment available financial resources identified in TABLES 2-6 and 2-6, the Agency would also expect to make use of various other methods of financing redevelopment activities, where such funding sources are available and supported by the Agency. These other methods and funding sources may include: (1) loans, grants, and contributions from local entities (such as the City), state and federal programs; (2) advances from developers; (3) potential assessment district or community facilities district financings; (4) public/private partnerships; and {5) other i~~veraging of tax increment revenues when possible. Private sector investment will be critically r~E~cessary as a means of resolving the various problems and conditions of blight in each Project Area. The proposed projects, programs and the corresponding expenditures over the five-year period are designed to achieve the Goals and Objectives for each Project Area contained in this Implementation Plan and the elimination of blighting conditions. Financial resources are expected to be insufficient to complete implementation activities within the five-year time period.

Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page ~ 40 The CRL requires afive-year implementation plan regardless of economic conditions during the future five-year period. It should, however, be understood that the funding of identified programs and projects is greatly influenced by economic conditions and the ability of the private sector to respond to Agency initiatives. Projects and expenditures rely on the private sector's ability to obtain funding, as well as the Agency's ability to maintain and increase tax increment revenues. If the Agency's revenues are depleted because of higher than projected expenditures or new requirements imposed by the State, it is unlikely that all of the projects and/or programs listed will be implemented. Achievement of the Implementation Plan Goals and Objectives for each Project Area, and the implementation of the programs, projects, expenditures outlined in this Implementation Plan will assist in eliminating blight within the Town Center and South Central Redevelopment Project Areas. 2.4.2 CASH FLOW An illustrative five year cash flow for the Agency's non-housing redevelopment activities is provided in TABLE 2-7 and TABLE 2-8 which includes the proposed programs and project expenditures that are identified and described in more detail in the following section (Section 2.4.3). Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page 141 2.4.3 PROPOSED AGENCY PROGRAMS, POTENTIAL PROJECTS AND EXPENDITURES (Non-Housing Activities) A. TOWN CENTER REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA Over the next five years, the programs, projects and expenditures proposed in the Town Center Project Area will focus on a response to the following Five Year Implementation Plan Goals and Objectives outlined in FIGURE II-6. Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page ~ 42 FIGURE 2-6 TOWN CENTER PROJECT AREA FOURTH FIVE-YEAR FMPLEMENTATION NON-HOUSING PLAN GOALS & OBJECTIVES 1. Pre-plan and redevelop portions of the Project Area to accommodate healthy grovvth and to address areas which are stagnant or improperly utilized.. 2. Encourage consolidation of commercial uses into well defined centers and development of mixed use developments that combine commercial, office, and/or residential uses which serve local needs of the community and which create job opportunities for residents, converting underperforming commercial uses to other uses or mixed uses. 3. Improve traffic circulation and access. in he Project Area as a means of reducing congestion, encouraging business`deveiopment, attracting new customers to the area, alleviating pass- through traffic congestion and conflict, and improving safety. 4. Rehabilitate substandard and deteriorating structures to improve building conditions, increase functionality and desirability, and to create a more cohesive Project Area. 5. Upgrade substandard public infrastructure systems and public facilities, and provide for the installation of new public infrastructure to meet the requirements of existing and new development. 6. Enhance the image of the area and create a sense of -identity by revitalizing existing commercial uses, establishing an attractive streetscape and community gateway entry program, establishing and implementing design guidelines that will provide unity and integrity to neighborhoods within the Project Area, developing amenities in the Project Area, both publicly and privately financed. 7. Improve connectivity within the Project Area and between other neighborhoods in the City, including provision of improved bike lane routes. 8. Provide assistance for rehabilitation, expansion and retention of existing businesses and to facilitate the attraction of new development and businesses in the Project Are. 9. Develop a comprehensive marketing. and communication program to market and promote the Project Area as a destination for new businesses and business expansion. 10. Strengthen existing partnerships and develop new ones with organizations whose activities can enhance the growth and development of the Project Area. Linkage of each goal above with conditions of blight within the Project Area is demonstrated in the matrix included as TABLE 2-9. Proposed Agency programs and projects for the Town Center Project Area are, by necessity, broad in nature. Specific refinements of planned programs and projects will be developed by the Agency, generally in connection with adoption of the Agency's annual budget which will include the Agency's participation in the City's Seven Year Capital Improvement Program. The Agency's focus during the next five-year period for the Town Center Redevelopment Project Area is to concentrate on the following program areas and project categories: Neighborhood Improvement, Public Infrastructure and Community Facilities, Economic Development, and Administrative support. Dollar amounts shown in parenthesis after each program area is the anticipated proposed expenditures over the Five-Year Implementation Plan time frame. Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page ~ 43 1. Neighborhood Improvement Program and Projects The purpose of the Neighborhood Improvement program is to make the Town Center Project Area a clean, safe, and welcoming environment. The Program will include, but will not be limited to the following typical projects: • Grants and loans for improvement of commercial properties for building and code compliance, building renovation and facade improvements, historic preservation, security and lighting, and to enhance the attractiveness of the Project Area. • Graffiti removal. • Continuing participating in a City-wide Neighborhood Improvement Task Force within the Project Area to plan and carry out solutions to problems that require an interdepartmental partnership. • Follow-up re-planning efforts within the Project Area including funding and advising the Community Development Department on the completion of appropriate General Plan, Zoning and environmental documents to implement recommendations indentified in the "Neighborhoods of Tustin Town Center: A New Beginning" Study, including development of design guidelines. • New housing construction as a funding supplement to Housing Programs described in Section 3.6.3. 2. Economic Development Programs and Projects The purpose of the Economic Development Program is to focus on the retention of existing businesses within the Project Area and the attraction of new businesses. The City would encourage developers and property owners to develop sites within the Project Area, assisting where necessary so that the financial gap of a project can be met as a means to attract such development. • Developer/property owner assistance programs designed to support restoration, modernization and improvement of the Town Center Project Area including the City's historic Old Town and also Key Opportunity Sites identified in the "Neighborhoods of Tustin Town Center: A New Beginning Study" (the "Tustin Town Center Study"). Projects will include development strategies to encourage mixed use development and clustering of commercial activities around identified nodes. Additional types of assistance may include, but not be limited to, acquisition and assembly of properties for development consistent with the uses specified in the Neighborhoods of Town Center Study and Town Center Redevelopment Plan, land write-downs, land preparation, off-site improvements, fee assistance, relocation assistance, design and engineering assistance, grants and loans (as may be allowed under the law), and development of parking facilities. • Business assistance, marketing and outreach programs and projects to support the retention of existing businesses and attraction of new businesses. Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page 144 • Expenditures would include, but not be limited, commercial broker incentive programs, commercial real estate listings, website updates, collateral marketing materials, establishing memberships and relationships with other organizations where activities will enhance the growth of the Project Area 3. Public Infrastructure and Community Facilities Programs and Projects The Public Infrastructure and Community Facilities Program is designed to implement projects to improve public infrastructure, community facilities and public services within the Project Area, which will increase the livability of the Project Area and attract private sector investment. These projects may include: • Completion of remaining improvements and fixture purchases for the Tustin Library project. • Street and Streetscape rehabilitations and new improvements and community gateway enhancements at key locations, including, but not limited to those, identified in the Tustin Town Center Study. Work will include, but not be limited to, studying right of way constraints and identifying specific Streetscape improvements, associated costs, and implementation priorities • Newport Avenue Bicycle Trail Reconstruction Project between Main Street and Irvine Boulevard. The project includes bicycle trail reconstruction, drainage facility improvements, and landscaping along Newport Avenue from Main Street to Irvine Boulevard. • Storm drainage infrastructure to alleviate flooding. • Lighting and traffic control installations, as determined needed to upgrade existing street lighting, traffic signal synchronization or phasing, or new traffic control installations as needed. Traffic Control Projects • Utility undergrounding where necessary to improve the safety and aesthetics of the Project Area. • Improvements to Columbus Tustin Gymnasium and Columbus Tustin Park and Sports Fields • Stevens Square Parking Structure -the provision of additional pedestrian access. 4. Agency Administrative Program Support and Indirect Costs The purpose of this program is to administratively support the Agency's program and project activities. Administrative and direct costs will be ongoing during the term of the Implementation Plan. The services include, but are not limited to, the following: • Due Diligence activities -third party and in-house services associated the disposition and development of sites located in the Town Center Project Area. Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page 145 • Legal Services -comprehensive legal services related to activities within the Project Area and activities outside the Project Area in which a finding of benefit has been established including City Attorney services and Special Counsel services. • Management of Real Estate Assets - in-house and contracted third party property management services. • Planning and Design - in-house and contracted third party services associated with planning and design activities. • Day-to-day operations, including, but not limited to, staff personnel costs, the leasing of Office Space and Equipment, Telephone, Printing, Audit/Accounting, Office Materials and Supplies, Meetings and Training, Membership Dues and Subscriptions, and Computer Software and Hardware • Financial planning and actions related to the Project's remaining life and existing debt. The Agency may also make payments to reduce the Low and Moderate Income Housing Deferral discussed in Section 2.3.2 and Section 3.3. In addition, the Agency may make payments out of 80% tax increment funds (not just Low and Moderate Income Housing Funds) towards Reimbursement Agreement obligations which permit the use of 80% non-housing funds to retire the debt obligations, if tax increment funds are available during the Plan's five year period. Funding availability and distribution is determined on an annual basis by the City's Finance Director and the City Manager as part of the annual budget process. Proposed Projects, Proerams and Expenditures Relationship to Blieht The CRL requires an explanation of the relationship between proposed projects, programs and expenditures to the elimination of blight with the project area during the period of the Plan. At the time the Town Center Redevelopment Plan was adopted, the Town Center Redevelopment Plan largely identified the health and safety conditions of buildings, and the factors that characterize economic dislocation, deterioration or disuse. The Implementation Plan Goals and Objectives represent the Agency's near-term direction to continue its efforts to eliminate blight by providing assistance to strengthen the business environment of the Town Center Projer_t Area. Specifically, the Implementation Plan Goals and Objectives will help the revitalize the building stock by improving deteriorated building conditions and correcting deficiencies among aged buildings. Goals and Objectives to upgrade and install public improvements and facilities, and to provide assistance to existing businesses, new businesses, and new development will help foster economic growth and correct or prevent conditions that may result in depreciated values, impaired investments and economic maladjustment, while facilitating the construction of necessary public infrastructure. Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page 146 Although both Agency-assisted and private sector redevelopment activities have made major contributions to an improvement in the building stock in the project area and to an improvement to the prevalence of depreciated values, impaired investments and economic maladjustment in the Project Area, some of the blight conditions still remain to be addressed under this Fourth Implementation Plan. The following are the major blighting characteristics identified in the Town Center Redevelopment Plan and how the proposed Agency activities during the next five-year period will eliminate or prevent the spread of these blighting conditions within the Project Area: • Deterioration, Age, & Obsolescence. Several buildings, retail centers, and properties in the Project Area remain characterized by deterioration, age and obsolescence. These properties do not appear to meet the changing needs of the commercial/retail sector and are no longer economically competitive in today's markets. The Neighborhood Improvement Program will address these blighting conditions through commercial rehabilitation programs, graffiti removal and implementing recommendations from the "Neighborhoods of Tustin Town Center - A New Beginning" Study. The Commercial Rehabilitation Program will renovate older buildings, provide updated fagades, and restore Historical commercial buildings. The Economic Development program is proposed to correct physical/building conditions, address functional and economic obsolescence, and eliminate blighting conditions in the Project Area by optimizing the use of underutilized parcels through monetary support of private improvement efforts provided under Developer/Property Owner Assistance Programs and through various Business Assistance efforts. • Inadequate Public Improvements & Utilities. While there is newer development along Newport and Irvine along with traffic control improvements, additional traffic controls and street improvements are still needed to improve access and the flow of traffic, and to address deficiencies in Project Area infrastructure and community facilities which will increase the desirability of the Project Area for private sector investment. Public Infrastructure and Community Facilities Programs, including the Newport Avenue Bicycle Trail Reconstruction Project and lighting and traffic control installations, will assist with improved access and the flow of traffic. Public parks serving the surrounding community are in need of upgrades and renovation. The Agency will maintain its level of commitment to improving the public infrastructure serving the Project Area by continuing a Public Infrastructure and Community Facilities Program. The Public Infrastructure and Community Facilities Program may address improvements to Columbus Tustin Gymnasium and Columbus Tustin Sports Park and Sports Fields. Streetscape rehabilitation, community gateway enhancements at key locations and Stevens Square Parking Structure improvements will enhance the areas adjacent to underutilized land. Developer/property owner assistance programs can provide assistance with off-site improvements, addressing inadequate traffic flow and developing additional parking facilities. Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page 147 • Depreciated Values, Impaired Investments, & Economic Maladjustment. The lack of any large scale revitalization activities has led to the Town Center's inability to keep pace with business growth trends. New investment in the Project Area is critical to stopping further decline. Although conditions have improved because of redevelopment activity in the Project Area, there are properties incompatible with existing and proposed land uses. The Neighborhood Improvement Program will provide funding and advise the Community Development Department on the completion of appropriate General Plan and Zoning documents intended to incentivize development within the Town Center Project Area. Potential General Plan and Zoning changes as a result of the "Neighborhoods of Tustin Town Center - A New Beginning" Study could provide property owners with opportunities to develop their properties in a manner compatible with surrounding properties. Economic Development Programs will promote the Town Center Project Area and will address depreciated values, impaired investments and economic maladjustment by supporting monetary investment by the private sector, supported by the Agency. For example, Developer/property owner assistance programs will facilitate the development of vacant and underutilized land by providing assistance with acquisition and assembly of properties. All of the Programs and Expenditures proposed under this Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, including Agency Administration Program Support and Indirect Costs, will address these blighting conditions. The matrix provided in TABLE 2-9 summarizes the linkage and relationship between the Town Center Implementation Plan's goals and objectives and blight. TABLE 2-10 identifies the linkage between the Plan's proposed Programs, projects, and expenditures to blight. It is the Agency's intent to implement proposed programs and project which will attain the goals and objectives of the Project Area and which will addressor remove conditions of blight identified when the Project Area was adopted.

Strengthen existing partnerships. and develop new ones with organizations whose activities can enhance the growth and development of the Project Area. Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page ~ 51 Linkage of each goal with conditions of blight within the Project Area is demonstrated in the matrix included as TABLE 2-11. The proposed Agency programs and projects for the South Central Project Area are, by necessity, broad in nature. Specific refinements of planned programs and projects will be developed by the Agency, generally in connection with adoption of the Agency's annual budget and will include the Agency's participation in the City's Seven Year Capital Improvement Program. The Agency's focus during the next five-year period for the Town Center Redevelopment Project Area is to concentrate on the following program areas and project categories: Neighborhood Improvement, Public Infrastructure and Community Facilities, Economic Development, and Administrative support. 1. Neighborhood Improvement Program and Projects The purpose of the Neighborhood Improvement program is to make the South Central Project Area a clean, safe, and welcoming environment. The Program will include, but will not be limited to the following typical projects: • Grants and loans for improvement of commercial properties for building and code compliance, building renovation and facade improvements, historic preservation, security and lighting, and to enhance the attractiveness of the Project Area. • Graffiti removal • Continuing participating in a City-wide Neighborhood Improvement Task Force within the Project Area to plan and carry out solutions to problems that require an interdepartmental partnership. • Undertake follow-up re-planning efforts within the Project Area including funding and advising the Community Development Department on the completion of appropriate General Plan, Zoning and environmental documents to implement recommendations indentified in the "Neighborhoods of Tustin Town Center: A New Beginning" Study, including development of design guidelines for the Southern Gateway portions of the Project Area. • New housing construction as a funding supplement to the Housing Program described in Section 3.6.3. 2. Economic Development Programs and Projects The purpose of the Economic Development Program is to focus on the retention of existing businesses within the Project Area and the attraction of new Businesses. The City would encourage developers and property owners to develop sites within the Project Area, assisting where necessary so that the financial gap of a project can be met as a means to attract such development. • Developer/property owner assistance programs designed to support restoration, modernization and improvement of the South Central Project Area including the Pacific Center East Specific Plan area and also Key Opportunity Sites identified in the Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page 152 "Neighborhoods of Tustin Town Center: A New Beginning Study" (the "Tustin Town Center Study"). Projects will include development strategies to encourage new development, including but not limited to mixed use development and clustering of commercial activities around identified nodes. • Additional types of assistance may include, but not be limited to, acquisition and assembly of properties for development consistent with the uses specified in the Neighborhoods of Tustin Town Center Study, land write-downs, land preparation, off-site improvements, fee assistance, relocation assistance, design and engineering assistance, grants and loans (as may be allowed under the law), and development of parking facilities. • Business assistance, marketing and outreach programs to support the retention of existing businesses and attraction of new businesses. • Expenditures would include, but not be limited, commercial broker incentive programs, commercial real estate listings, website updates, collateral marketing materials, establishing memberships and relationships with other organizations where activities will enhance the growth of the Project Area. 3. Public Infrastructure and Community Facilities Programs and Projects The Public Infrastructure and Community Facilities Program is designed to implement projects to improve public infrastructure, community facilities and public services within the Project Area, which will increase the desirability of private sector investment. These projects may include: ~ Street and Streetscape rehabilitations and new improvements and community gateway enhancements at key locations, including, but not limited to Newport Avenue and the SR-55 Northbound Ramp (along Newport Avenue north to Edinger) and other improvements identified in the Tustin Town Center Study. Work will include, but not be limited to, studying right of way constraints and identifying specific streetscape improvements, associated costs, and implementation priorities. • Newport Avenue Extension, north of Edinger Avenue -the extension of Newport Avenue will include constructing the railroad underpass and the widening of Newport Avenue from Tustin Grove Drive to Myrtle Avenue. The work will also consist of realignment of the flood control channel, raised medians, sidewalks on both sides and outside shoulders or bike lanes. There will new signalized intersections along Newport Avenue at Edinger Avenue, Tustin Grove Drive and Sycamore Avenue. • Valencia Avenue Widening between Newport Avenue and Red Hill Avenue -Roadway widening and intersection improvements including acquisition of right-of-way to facilitate widening to augmented primary arterial status. Valencia Avenue will be restriped from 2- lanes to 4-lanes. This project will complete the widening on both the north and south side of Valencia Avenue and include a landscaped median and bicycle lanes. Project will include Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page 153 intersection improvements at Valencia and Red Hill to include northbound and southbound double left turn lanes and a separate right turn lane. • Red Hill Avenue Widening between Edinger Avenue and Valencia Avenue -Red Hill will be widened to a 6-lane major arterial standard. This project adds bicycle lanes, raised median and landscaping, turn lanes at intersections and modifications to existing traffic signals. • Red Hill Avenue Grade Separation at OCTA/SCRRA Railway/Edinger Avenue -Grade separation of two major arterial highways (Red Hill and Edinger) including construction of a bridge (overcrossing) over the Santa Ana-Santa Fe Channel and the OCTA/SCRRA Railway, Edinger Avenue improvements in the vicinity of the overcrossing: on/off ramps for Red Hill/Edinger, and Red Hill Avenue improvements south and north of Edinger Avenue to link with the proposed on/off ramp system. • Storm drainage infrastructure to alleviate flooding, including but not limited to the San Juan Storm Drain between Red Hill Avenue and Newport Avenue. • Lighting and traffic control installations, as determined needed to upgrade existing street lighting, traffic signal synchronization or phasing, or new traffic control installations as needed. Traffic Control Projects • Utility undergrounding where necessary to improve the safety and aesthetics of the Project Area. • Park and open space acquisition and expansion/and or relocation of the Tustin Family Youth Center. 4. Agency Administrative Program Support and Indirect Costs The purpose of this Agency program and project expenditures is to administratively support the Agency's program activities. Administrative and direct costs will be ongoing during the term of the Plan. The services include, but are not limited to, the following: • Due Diligence activities -third party and in-house services associated the disposition and development of sites located in South Central. • Legal Services -comprehensive legal services related to activities within the Project Area and activities outside the Project Area in which a finding of benefit has been established including City Attorney services and Special Counsel. • Management of Assets - in-house and contracted third party property management services. • Planning and Design - in-house and contracted third party services associated with planning and design activities. • Day to day operations, including, but not limited to, staff personnel costs, the leasing of Office Space and Equipment, Telephone, Printing, Audit/Accounting, Office Materials and Supplies, Meetings and Training, Membership Dues and Subscriptions, and Computer Software and Hardware. Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page 154 ~ Financial planning and actions related to the Project's remaining life and existing debt. The Agency may also make payments to reduce the Low and Moderate Income Housing Reimbursement Agreement obligations, if additional tax increment funds are available from the non-housing (80%) funds during the Plan's five year period. Funding available and distribution is determined on an annual basis by the City's Finance Director and the City Manager as part of the annual budget process. Proposed Projects, Programs and Expenditures Relationship to Blight The CRL requires an explanation of the relationship between proposed projects, programs and expenditures to the elimination of blight with the project area during the period of the Plan. At the time the South Central Redevelopment Plan was adopted, the plan spoke to health and safety conditions of buildings, and the factors that characterize economic dislocation, deterioration or disuse. Briefly, a blighted area is one that contains specific conditions and factors resulting in the lack of proper utilization of the area that constituted a serious burden on the community and that could not be alleviated by private enterprise acting alone. The Implementation Plan Goals and Objectives represent the Agency's near-term direction to continue the elimination of blight by providing support to the industrial sector of the South Central Project Area, thus expanding the industrial base of the City and increasing employment opportunities. Specifically, these Implementation Plan Goals and Objectives will help to facilitate private sector development by assisting existing and new businesses. New development will also foster new economic growth and correct conditions of depreciated values, impaired investments and economic maladjustment by returning the land to proper utilization. Although the Agency has undertaken an extensive public improvement program within the Project Area which has corrected several deficiencies, targeted areas in need of public improvement upgrades or new construction remain. The following is a list of major blighting characteristics found in the South Central Project Area and how the proposed Agency activities during the next five-year period will reduce the prevalence of these blighting conditions. • Deterioration, Age, & Obsolescence. There are retail centers and properties along Newport Avenue that remain characterized by deterioration, age and obsolescence. These properties do not appear to meet the changing needs of the commercial/retail sector and are no longer economically competitive in today's markets. The Neighborhood Improvement Program will address these blighting conditions through commercial rehabilitation programs, graffiti removal and implementing recommendations from the "Neighborhoods of Tustin Town Center - A New Beginning" Study. The Commercial Rehabilitation Program will renovate the older buildings and provide updated facades. The Economic Development program is proposed to correct physical/building conditions, address functional and economic obsolescence, and eliminate Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page ~ 55 blighting conditions in the Project Area by optimizing the use of underutilized parcels through monetary support of private improvement efforts provided under Developer/Property Owner Assistance Programs and various Business Assistance efforts. The Agency will assist when funding is available and provided there are no other funding sources available to facilitate the development. Proposed infrastructure improvements to Newport and Red Hill Avenues will increase access to the area and encourage commercial property owners and investors to renovate properties and maximize development opportunities. • Inadequate Public Improvements & Utilities. The Agency will maintain its level of commitment to improving the public infrastructure serving the Project Area by continuing a Public Infrastructure and Community Facilities Program to improve access and the flow of traffic, and to address deficiencies in Project Area infrastructure and community facilities which will increase the desirability of the Project Area for private sector investment. Newport Avenue Extension, traffic signal synchronization or phasing and the widening of Red Hill and Valencia Avenues will improve traffic circulation and access in the area. Public Infrastructure programs and projects will increase traffic capacity on north-south arterials and relieve traffic congestion at freeway interchanges. In addition to street and traffic improvements addressed by the Public Infrastructure and Community Facilities Program, recommendations and an implementation strategy are forthcoming in "The Neighborhoods of Tustin Town Center" Study to provide additional facilities in the South Central Project Area. Completion of these projects is dependent upon obtaining the funds necessary from various local, state and federal sources to offset the extraordinary high costs required to correct these deficiencies. Developer/property owner assistance programs, streetscape improvements, and gateway enhancements can encourage development within the Pacific Center East Specific Plan. • Depreciated Values, Impaired Investments, & Economic Maladjustment. The Neighborhood Improvement Program will provide funding and advise the Community Development Department on the completion of appropriate General Plan and Zoning documents intended to promote lot consolidation and facilitate development within the South Central Project Area. Public Infrastructure improvements to extend Newport Avenue and widen Red Hill and Valencia Avenues will increase access to the area, increase commercial property values along Newport Avenue, and encourage the development of Pacific Center East. Developer/property owner assistance programs, streetscape rehabilitations and community gateway enhancements at key locations proposed under Neighborhood Improvement program and Public Infrastructure projects will enhance the Project Area and promote investment, including the development of vacant and underutilized land. Economic Development Programs will promote the South Central Project Area in order to support and strengthen successfully established businesses and attract new businesses and will address depreciated values, impaired investments and economic maladjustment by supporting monetary investment by the private sector, supported by the Agency. For example, Developer/property owner assistance programs will facilitate the Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page 156 development of vacant and underutilized land by providing assistance with acquisition and assembly of properties. The Agency will address visual blight's impact on property values and investments by continuing to fund graffiti removal within the Project Area. All of the Programs and Expenditures proposed under this Fourth Implementation Plan, including Agency Administration Program Support and Indirect Costs, will address the elimination of blighting conditions in the Project Area. The matrix provided in TABLE 2-11 summarizes the linkage and relationship between the South Central Implementation Plan's goals and objectives and blight. TABLE 2-12 identifies the linkage between the Plan's proposed Programs, projects, and expenditures to blight. It is the Agency's intent to implement proposed programs and project which will attain the goals and objectives of the Project Area and which will address or remove the conditions of blight noted above.

The Plan represents the Agency's explanation of how specific goals and objectives and proposed projects, programs and expenditures will implement the low and moderate income housing requirements mandated by CRL, including the following: • An annual housing program for the five year Implementation Plan term that provides sufficient detail to measure performance of the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund Requirements. • An estimate of the number of new, rehabilitation, assisted, price restricted and destroyed housing units during the term of the respective redevelopment plan. • An outline of the Agency's plan in using the Housing Set Aside Funds including annual deposits, transfers of funds, or accruals for special projects. • An identification of programs and projects that will result in the destruction or removal of existing affordable housing, if any, and the proposed locations for replacement housing. • The Agency's ten year housing affordability compliance plan as required by California Community Redevelopment Law (CRL) Sections 33413(b)(4) and 33490(a)(2). • The set-aside of 20% of gross tax increment for low and moderate income housing (CRL §33334.2 and §33334.6); Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page 159 • The creation of housing affordable to low and moderate income persons and families based on the production of all new or substantially rehabilitated dwelling units (CRL §33413(b)); • The replacement of low and moderate income dwelling units removed as result of Agency activity (CRL §33413(a)); and • The proportional expenditure from the 20% Set Aside fund on housing for low and very low income persons based on community need (CRL §33334.4(a)). The Implementation Plan also anticipates leveraging its Housing Fund resources with additional state and federal financial assistance, including, but not limited to, HOME Funds and CDBG Funds. 3.2 BACKGROUND In addition to CRL requirements, the Agency's affordable housing efforts are guided by the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) produced by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), the City's Housing Element and the Agency's current Comprehensive Affordable Housing Strategy. In June 2008, the City and the Community Redevelopment Agency adopted the 2008/09 - 2017/18 Comprehensive Affordable Housing Strategy (CARS) to direct and focus the City's and Agency's efforts to produce and maintain affordable housing within the community. Unfortunately, the assessment in the CARS of available housing funds is much lower than identified given debt services and other Agency financial obligations. 3.2.1 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN HOUSING GOALS For the Town Center and South Central Project Area, the Goals and Objectives of the Housing portion of the Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan are as follows: FIGURE 3-1 FOURTH FIVE-YEAR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN HOUSING GOALS & OBJECTIVES 1. Increase the quantity and improve the quality of housing in Tustin by providing new and rehabilitated affordable housing opportunities throughout the community. 2. Encourage construction of moderate and high density residential development along major street corridors, compatible with adjacent development. 3. Eliminate blight by upgrading, revitalizing and enriching the livability of older residential neighborhoods and by reducing overcrowding. 4. To maximize and leverage public and private funding to create affordable housing opportunities, including acost-effective method of preserving "at risk" affordable housing. Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page 160 3.2.2 CONSISTENCY OF IMPLEMENTATION HOUSING GOALS WITH THE HOUSING ELEMENT Given that availability of decent housing and a suitable living environment for every family has been of increasing concern to all levels of government, California Government Code requires that each City adopt a Housing Element as a mandatory part of its General Plan. The Housing Element identifies housing programs aimed at meeting the identified housing needs of the City's population. The Tustin Housing Element includes the identification of strategies and programs that focus on: 1) housing affordability, 2) rehabilitating substandard housing, 3) meeting the existing demand for new housing, and 4) conserving the existing affordable housing stock. On June 16, 2009, the Tustin City Council adopted the City's Housing Element for the period of July 2008 to June 2014. The Fourth Year Five Year Implementation Plan Housing Goals and Objectives are consistent with and support the following Housing Element Goals: Goal 1: Provide an adequate supply of housing to meet the need for a variety of housing types and the diverse socio-economic needs of all community residents. Goal 2: Ensure equal housing opportunities for all existing and future City residents regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, sex, age, marital status or household composition. Goal 3: Increase the percentage of ownership housing to ensure a reasonable balance of rental and owner-occupied housing within the City. Goal 4: Preserve the existing supply of affordable housing in the City. Goal 5: Conserve, maintain, rehabilitate, and/or replace existing housing in neighborhoods which are safe, healthful and attractive, in accordance with adopted Land Use Policy. Improve the residential character of the City with an emphasis on revitalizing neighborhoods showing signs of deterioration. Promote conservation of the City's sound housing stock, rehabilitation of deteriorated units where they may exist Citywide, and elimination of dilapidated units that endanger the health, safety and well being of occupants. Goal 6: Ensure that new housing is sensitive to the existing natural and built environment. 3.2.3 AGENCY BENEFIT RESOLUTIONS To support the goals and objectives of the Housing Program, the Agency on March 21, 2005 adopted Findings of Benefit for the South Central Project Area (Resolution No. RDA 05-01) and for the Town Center Project Area (Resolution No. RDA 05-02). The Resolutions both support findings which have determined that the use of Housing Set-Aside Funds outside of designated Redevelopment Project Areas and throughout the City are of direct benefit to the South Central and Town Center Redevelopment Project Areas. Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page ~ 61 The Agency also incorporated the Finding of Benefit into its plans to provide affordable housing at the former Tustin Marine Corps Air Station ("Tustin Legacy"). On February 3, 2003, the City of Tustin approved the MCAS Reuse/Specific Plan and the City and Agency approved the MCAS Tustin Redevelopment Plan on June 16, 2003. The Reuse/Specific Plan and the Redevelopment Plan specify the number of affordable housing units to be produced in the Project Area. On June 2, Cayley Way in Tustin Field II 2003, the Agency adopted a Finding of Benefit for the MCAS Tustin Project Area (Resolution No. RDA 03-10), determining the use of Housing Set-Aside Funds outside of designated Redevelopment Project Area and throughout the City are of direct benefit to the MCAS Tustin Redevelopment Project Area. The insufficient tax increment revenue in the MCAS Tustin Project Area's early years limited the Agency in making subsidies available to developers at the levels that would permit the development of the affordable housing on an economically feasible basis. In order to assist the Agency in meeting its affordable housing obligations in the MCAS Tustin Project Area, the City entered into agreements to sell property at a discount sufficient to permit developers to feasibly develop the required number of affordable housing units. On June 5, 2007, the City Council approved the "Reimbursement Agreement between the City of Tustin and Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency Related to Affordable Housing Responsibilities to be Assumed by the Agency" (the Reimbursement Agreement") and Amended in January 2010. The Agency will reimburse the City for its financial assistance to the Agency in carrying out the production of affordable housing units. The reimbursement may come from non-housing tax increment generated from all three Project Areas and will come from Housing Set Aside Funds generated from not only the MCAS Tustin Project Area but also from the Town Center and South Central Project Areas. 3.3 DEFERRALS OF DEPOSITS TO THE LOW AND MODERATE INCOME HOUSING FUND The Town Center Redevelopment Project Area is subject to §33334.6 of the CRL, which applied the low and moderate income housing set-aside requirement to pre-1977 projects. CRL §33334.2 also enabled the elimination or reduction of the annual deposits into the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund deposit (the "Housing Fund"), if the Agency made findings regarding the lack of need for low/moderate housing in Tustin or the sufficiency of less than 20% of the Project Area's tax increment to meet the need that does not exist. In addition, if a project had obligations that were Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page 162 incurred prior to the set-aside requirement, the Agency could defer the annual set-aside deposit as necessary to meet its earlier obligations. The Agency adopted a Statement of Obligations for the Town Center Project Area and in fiscal years 1985-1985 through 1991-92 deferred the deposit of $2,776,042 into the Housing Fund. In accordance with CRL requirements, the Agency adopted an amended Town Center Deficit Reduction Plan in May 2000 for elimination of the deferral. Per the Amended Plan, commencing in FY 2005-2006 the Agency anticipated depositing to the Housing Fund an amount equal to 20% of the net tax increment available in any year that the tax increment equals at least 125% of the non- housing activities annual obligations. The annual tax increment generated in Town Center has not reached the level requiring a deposit into the Housing Fund. Given that the Agency is approaching its tax increment limit, deposits are programmed to occur during Fiscal Years 2011-12, 2012-13, and 2013-14 of the Five-Year Implementation Plan (TABLE 3-1). The Agency has not deferred any deposits into the South Central Housing Fund. 3.4 RECENT LEGISLATION AFFECTING HOUSING ACTIVITIES Effective January 1, 2008, Assembly Bill (AB) 987, required redevelopment agencies to compile and maintain a database of existing, new and substantially rehabilitated housing units developed or otherwise assisted with monies from the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund. The database must be available to the public on the Internet, and be updated on an annual basis. The Agency's database consists of two lists, one for affordable owner-occupied housing units and the other for affordable rental housing projects. The list can be found on the City of Tustin website, www.tustinca.org, under Redevelopment/Housing. AB 987 also requires the recordation of a separate document, called "Notice of Affordability Restrictions on Transfer of Property," for all new or substantially rehabilitated units developed or otherwise assisted with moneys from the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund on or after January 1, 2008. The Agency has complied with this requirement. In addition to the AB 987 compliance, the Agency is actively seeking to lengthen the affordability covenants of homes purchased prior to the January 1, 2002-effective date of AB 637. AB 637 amended the law to lengthen affordability periods to at least 45 years for owner-occupied units and 55 years for rental units. When the opportunity presents itself, the Agency adds the 45 year covenant requirement to the pre-AB 637 owner occupied units. Although the Law allows owner occupied units to be sold prior to the end of the 45 year period as long as certain provisions are met, the Agency wants to maintain and increase its affordable housing stock and, as a result, restricts the re-sale of affordable units to affordable-qualified households. 3.5 LOW AND MODERATE INCOME HOUSING FUNDS AVAILABLE Section 33334.2 of the CRL requires, for every redevelopment plan adopted or amended to add territory on or after January 1, 1977, no less than 20 percent of the tax increment received by the Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page 163 Agency from a Redevelopment Project Area be set aside for increasing, improving and preserving the community's supply of low and moderate income housing. The revenues may be expended inside or outside of a project area. If expended outside the Project Area, a resolution must be adopted stating that outside expenditures are of benefit to the Project Area. As discussed earlier, the Redevelopment Agency adopted Resolution No. RDA 05-01 and 05-02 on March 21, 2005, stating that outside expenditures benefitted the Project Area. In regards to the Agency's housing production requirements and pursuant to CRL §33413(b)(2)(A)(ii), two (2) covenant-restricted affordable housing units produced outside the Project Area count as one unit required to be produced inside the Project Area. TABLES 3-1 and 3-2 identify the amount of housing set-aside funds available in the Housing Fund for each Project Area and the estimated amounts which will be deposited in the Housing Fund during the next five years. While the projected set-aside tax increment revenues shown are based on projected development activity within the Project Area, the actual housing set-aside deposits could be more or less than the amounts shown based on actual development phasing. The total amount of available funds for the five year period (FY 2010/11 to FY 2014/15) is estimated to be approximately $29,258,000. In addition to Housing Funds being used for the production and rehabilitation of affordable housing over the next five years, Housing Funds will also reimburse the City for financial assistance to the Agency in the production of affordable housing units during the Initial Five-Year Implementation Plan for the MCAS Tustin Project Area. Under the Reimbursement Agreement, the Agency incurred a $46,407,736 obligation (debt) to the City. In order to finance a portion of the Agency's obligations under the Affordable Housing Reimbursement Agreement, the City Council approved a Tax Allocation Housing Bond issuance and $26,170,000 in Housing Bonds were issued in March 2010 with $23,500,000 in net bond proceeds applied to Reimbursement Agreement obligations. Debt payments for the Housing Bonds are allocated to housing set-aside funds from all three Project Areas: Town Center; South Central; and MCAS Tustin. The Reimbursement Agreement obligations that are allocated to the Town Center and South Central Housing Funds either as a result of the Housing Bonds or other remaining portion of the Agency's obligations are identified in TABLES 3-1 and 3-2. The annual debt payments, including principal and interest, that are applied to the Town Center Project Area will total approximately 5.6 million dollars and to the South Central Project Area will total approximately 5.8 million dollars during the Implementation Plan's five year time frame.

Preservation of these units as affordable housing for low to moderate income households is one of the most cost effective methods of maintaining the stock of affordable housing and should be a high priority. • Preservation of the Tustin Gardens Apartments. A 100-unit Section 221(d)(4) senior project with a Section 8 contract that expired but has been extended on an annual basis. The units are defined as "at risk" under CRL and will require Agency assistance if the owner elects not to renew its annual contract at any time. Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page ~ 68 • Preservation of 72 affordable units at the Rancho Alisal Apartments. The units are defined as "at risk" under CRL and will require Agency assistance to continue affordability past the use- restrictions expiring in 2012. • Preservation of 54 affordable units at the Rancho Maderas Apartments. The units are defined as "at risk" under CRL and will require Agency assistance to continue affordability past the use- restrictions expiring in 2012. • Preservation of 51 affordable units at the Rancho Tierra Apartments. The units are defined as "at risk" under CRL and will require Agency assistance to continue affordability past the use- restrictions expiring in 2012. 3.6.2 REHABILITATION OF EXISTING HOUSING - (49 single family and 106 multifamily units) The rehabilitation component of the Agency's Housing Program seeks to provide assistance in the form of rehabilitation loans and grants as another cost effective method of extending the life of affordable housing in the community and improving the housing stock in both the Town Center and South Central Project Areas and also seeks to increase homeownership opportunities. • Owner Occupied (1 to 2 units) Rehabilitation Loans and Grants to continue assisting owner- occupied single family properties within certain specified target areas for households at or below 120% of the median income, adjusted for family size. • Multifamily Rehabilitation Loans and Grants to owners of multifamily units in need of moderate rehabilitation where at least 51% of the tenants are at or below 120% of median income and remain within the Fair Market Rent (FMR) levels for a period not less than the period of land use controls established in the respective Redevelopment Plan. • Multifamily Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Conversion to Ownership Housing for smaller apartment projects containing two to eight units each which could be acquired, rehabilitated, converted to condominiums and sold to qualified homebuyers with resale restrictions which limit the use of the property and limit the extent to which home prices may increase. • Multifamily Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Rental Housing to facilitate the purchase from absentee landlords and substantial rehabilitation of apartments that could be retained in non- profit ownership and rented to qualifying low and moderate income tenants for the longest period feasible, but for not less than the period of land use controls as established in respective Redevelopment Plans. 3.6.3 NEW HOUSING CONSTRUCTION The Agency intends to use assistance techniques as an incentive to developers to build new units within each Project Area. The assistance would be provided in return for covenants that restrict the sale or rental, as applicable, of the units to qualified low to moderate income households. An important element of the Program is also to provide the regulatory environment to encourage additional density to facilitate the economic feasibility of new affordable housing construction. Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page ~ 69 Neighborhoods of Tustin Town Center Planning/Zoning Initiate New General Plan Amendments, Overlay District Zoning and other zoning modifications including any environmental documentation, as may be necessary, to permit additional intensification and mixed uses within the Project Areas and to also implement other overall strategies in the Town Center and South Central Project Areas consistent with the recommendations contained in "The Neighborhoods of Tustin Town Center - A New Beginning's" Strategic Guide for Development. With the projection of South Central Housing funds being lower than estimated in the CAHS, significant reductions in assistance from Housing funds for new construction programs is necessary. However, the Agency hopes to achieve the construction of new units through supplementing housing funds with 80% tax increment funds from Town Center and South Central. Ownership Multifamily New Construction - (18 units) Multifamily Housing Construction (ownership) would provide land acquisition assistance to private developers for construction of new multifamily housing units to mitigate the amount of the affordability gap to subsidize affordable sales prices. Multifamily Rental New Construction/Acquisition and Rehabilitation - (31 units) Multifamily Housing Construction (rental) would provide land acquisition assistance to private developers for construction of new multifamily housing units to mitigate the amount of the affordability gap to subsidize affordable rental rates. Tustin Legacy New Construction The City MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, Housing Element and CRL requirements necessitate construction of new affordable rental and ownership units at the Tustin Legacy project. Under the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement between the City and Agency (which will be amended in conjunction with future Tustin Legacy affordable housing development requiring assistance), the City will bear the up-front cost ;~f any off-set necessary in the land sale value of property sold by the City at Tustin Legacy in order to allow a developer to develop economically viable affordable housing units. The costs of such subsidy or land write-down will be transferred to the Agency as well as the cost associated with maintaining the required covenants for either rental or ownership products (55 years for rental units and 45 years for ownership units). The subsidy requirement for the Agency is unknown. Depending on market conditions and financing constraints, the Agency will need to maintain the flexibility to reduce the affordability gap, particularly in producing ownership units given the higher subsidy commitments necessary from the Agency by changing out affordable ownership units for affordable multi-family apartments. Given the high subsidy costs of the program, the fact that many of the units may in the future also meet housing obligations for the South Central and Town Central Project Areas (given adopted Benefit Resolutions for each Project Area), any future amended Reimbursement Agreement Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page 170 obligations of the Agency will likely be borne not just by the MCAS Tustin Redevelopment Project Area but also by the Town Center and South Central Project Areas. • Tustin Legacy New Rental Construction (cost unknown) The City's Specific Plan and Master Development Plan for remaining portions of Tustin Legacy to be sold by City require the development of a total of 253 new affordable rental units of which 153 units are expected to be constructed in the next five years. The 153 units consist of 36 units for very low income households, 61 units for low income households, and 56 units for moderate income households. • Tustin Legacy Ownership Multifamily New Construction (cost unknown) The City's Specific Plan and Master Development Plan for remaining portions of Tustin Legacy to be sold by City require development of a total of 200 new affordable ownership units of which 130 affordable ownership units are expected to be constructed in the next five years. The 130 units consist of 31 units for low income households and 99 units for moderate income households. 3.6.4 FIRST TIME HOMEBUYER ASSISTANCE The City's First-Time Homebuyer Program provides down payment and second mortgage assistance to low and moderate income buyers to assist them in purchasing an existing home in the City. The Program may be comprised of three major components: • Homebuyer Assistance Loans which consists of the provision of deferred payment loans secured by second deeds of trust to fund the "gap" between the affordable housing cost and the fair market value of a unit to reduce the overall mortgage cost of a home to levels supportable to low-mod buyers. Given the current real estate marker and economic conditions, the City is continuing to evaluate the economic feasibility of the First Time Homebuyer Program. • Low Interest Mortgage Loans consists of referring potential homebuyers to banks and other lenders that offer below market down payment requirements to qualified buyers, and • Mortgage Credit Certificate Program (MCC) administered by the County of Orange via the National Homebuyers Fund, Inc.; the program provides federal income tax credits as a form of assistance to homebuyers. During the previous reporting period, the County of Orange absorbed the administrative costs associated with the MCC program. The recent mortgage credit crises have resulted in increasing foreclosure rates throughout many parts of California. The City has allocated resources to assist new first-time homebuyers in purchasing a home. This may also include negotiated purchase of homes in foreclosure, which may represent a lower cost buying opportunity for first-time homebuyers. Monthly reports are prepared to monitor trends and spot potential issues regarding pre-foreclosure and foreclosure activity among residential and commercial uses. Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page ~ 71 3.6.5 HOMELESS ASSISTANCE AND SUPPORTIVE SERVICES Homeless assistance and supportive services through federal programs would provide assistance to programs that assist transitional housing for persons and families that are at or below 50% of the median income level, adjusted for family size. The City projects an annual allocation of $10,000 in CDBG funds to continue its financial support of homeless assistance. Given an annual allocation of $10,000, the City's goal for this program is to assist 200 individuals per year. Any increase in CDBG funding will allow the City and Agency to exceed the original goals. The program would also involve the City's participation in the Existing Section 8 Rental Assistance program from extremely low to low income persons and families through the Section 8 Rental Assistance certificate program of the Orange County Housing Authority. 3.6.6 ADMINISTRATIVE PROGRAM SUPPORT/INDIRECT COSTS Administrative Support costs incurred and directly related to implementing the housing program including, but not limited to, salaries, overhead, consultant and legal expenses, accounting, training, supplies, and other services and support expenditures. The Agency currently has over three hundred covenant-restricted affordable homes which require annual monitoring. Additional costs are associated with the refinancing of existing first mortgage loans and the sale of existing affordable units participating in the Agency's Housing Programs. This past year, as a result of the Federal "Making Home Affordable" program and low interest rates, the Agency processed Subordination Agreements for thirty-one homeowners. On average every month, there are eight to ten affordable homes for sale and, when sold, require staff time in approving the homebuyer's application and preparing affordable housing documents. Removal of Housing Units (costs unknown at this time) The City anticipates the need to remove eight rental units in conjunction with the Newport Avenue Phase II Project. This will result in the relocation costs associated with one pre-acquisition household as well as the housing replacement requirement for eight units. During this five-year period, staff will also incur planning costs to: • Prepare a new Capital Plan for the ten year Comprehensive Affordable Housing Strategy. The current Capital Plan expires in June 2014, one fiscal year prior to the end date of the Implementation Plan. • Assist the Community Development Department in its preparation of a revised Housing Element covering the period of 2014 to 2019. This will include the preparation by the Agency of affordability gap analysis, product prototypes and utility allowance determinations. • Assist the Community Development Department in its preparation of the annual Housing Element Progress Report. Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page 172 Annually, the Agency will be required to determine that the planning and administrative expenses are necessary for the production, improvement, or preservation of low and moderate income housing (CRL § 33334.3(d)). Given the current Reimbursement Agreement obligations and bond indenture requirements of the Housing Bonds, there is not expected to be any Excess Surplus funds available, as such funds are defined under CRL. 3.7 ANNUAL DISTRIBUTION OF UNITS TO BE ASSISTED Given the successful implementation of the Housing Program, projects and expenditures noted in TABLES 3-3 and 3-4, TABLE 3-5 provides an annual distribution of the units for each major program category which follows: Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page ~ 73 •. ~ - . . . • • • ~ ~ ~ ~ FY 10-11 FY 11-12 FY 12-13 FY 13-14 FY 14-15 TOTALS Preservation of At-Risk Housing 0 177 0 100 0 277 Rehabilitation Single and Multi-Family Home Rehabilitation Programs z • Single Family (Ownership) 6 10 12 12 14 54 •Multi-Family 20 20 20 20 28 108 New Housing Ownership Multi-Family New Construction 0 0 0 9 9 18 Multi-Family Rental New Construction/Acquisition and Rehab 0 0 21 10 0 31 Tustin Legacy Ownership Multi- Fa mi I y New Construction • Master Developer 0 0 67 63 0 130 • Villages of Columbus 0 45 68 40 0 153 Tustin Legacy Renta I New Construction 0 0 154 99 0 253 First-Time Homebuyers a • Homebuyer Assistance Loans • Low Interest Mortgage Loans TBD TBD TBD TBD TBD TBD • Mortgage Credit Certificate Program (MCC) Homeless Assistance ° 200 200 200 200 200 1000 Total Number of New, Rehabilitated or Price-Restricted Units s 26 252 342 353 51 1024 ' Programs and initial goals were established in the 6-year Capital Plan forthe 2008/2009 to 2017/18 Comprehensive Affordable Housing5trategy, June 2008. z The numberof Multi-Family units is the total numberof rental units rehabbed, not buildings rehabbed. s The First-Time Homebuyer program is under review.

Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page ~ 74 3.8 EXPENDITURE PLAN FOR HOUSING FUNDS Section 33334.4(a) of the CRL requires expenditures in the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund during a 10-year period to assist very low and low income households in at least the same proportion as the total number of units needed within the community. The proportion of very low, low and moderate income units is determined for each community on the basis of the unmet need for housing amount certain income group categories as reflected in the City's share of the regional housing needs identified pursuant to Section 65584 of the California Government Code (the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA). In addition, CRL §33490(a)(2)(C)(i) requires the Agency to identify the number of housing units needed for very low, low and moderate income persons as each of those needs have been identified in the most recent determination pursuant to Section 65584. TABLE 3-6 identifies the number of affordable housing units the City is to produce under the current RHNA. The number of housing units was produced by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) and has been in effect since January 1, 2006, and was included in the newly adopted Housing Element of the General Plan. The Agency's original RHNA proportional expenditure requirements are 37% for very low income households, 29% for low income households, and 34% for moderate income households. Pursuant to CRL §33334.4(a), the Agency may adjust the proportion by subtracting from the need identified for each income category, the number of units for persons of that income category that are newly constructed over the duration of the implementation plan with other locally controlled assistance and without agency assistance. The City initiated the development of additional very low, low and moderate income housing in the MCAS Tustin Project Area through density bonus incentives. Therefore, the Agency is permitted to adjust the proportional expenditure requirements accordingly as shown in TABLE 3-6.

Percentages may not total 100% due to rounding. As of January 1, 2003 pursuant to CRL §33334.4(b), each redevelopment agency shall expend, over the duration of each redevelopment Implementation Plan, funds for all persons regardless of age in at least the same proportion as the number of low-income households with a member under age 65 years as compared to the total number of low-income households of the community as reported in the most recent census of the United States Census Bureau. According to the 2000 U.S. Census, 87 percent of low-income households in Tustin included a member under the age of 65. Therefore, it is the Agency's goal to spend approximately 87% of the moneys in the Housing Fund for non-senior affordable housing activities to reflect this proportion of persons under 65 years of age in the community. TABLE 3-7 demonstrates over the last five years the Agency has complied with CRL §33334.4(b) and will continue to be incompliance over the next five years. Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page ~ 76 TABLE 3-7 reports the Agency's previous five year of expenditures and projects the next five years for aten-year picture of expenditures in relation to compliance with CRL §33334.4(a). As noted in TABLE 3-6, the Agency's proportional expenditure goal of 20% for very low income households and 34% for low income households would indicate that approximately 54% of the Agency's Housing Set-Aside Funds should be spent on very low and low income households. TABLE 3-7 demonstrates the Agency anticipates spending approximately 61% of Housing Set-Aside Funds on very low and low income households, 37% for very low income households and 24% for low income households. The Agency will continue to insure Housing Set-Aside funds are expended proportionately in compliance with CRL §33334.4(a). • ~~ ~ • • • -.• • . . zo14 Adjusted 2005/06- Income RHNA Targeting 2009/10 2010/11 2011/12 2012/13 2013/14 2014/15 Total Category Allocation Requirement Expenditures' Expenditures' ExpendituresZ ExpendituresZ ExpendituresZ ExpendituresZ Expenditures Very Low 153 20% $9,524,007 $948,930 $1,423,043 $1,649,286 $1,187,082 $968,962 $15,701,310 36% Low 261 34% $4,700,173 $1,002,638 $1,503,585 $1,742,633 $1,254,269 $1,023,804 $11,227,101 26% Moderate 347 46% $9,169,278 $1,122,082 $1,682,706 $1,950,232 $1,403,689 $1,145,769 $16,473,756 38% Total 761 100% $23,393,458 $3,073,650 $4,609,335 $5,342,150 $3,845,040 $3,138,535 $43,402,168 100% 2005/06- Age Targeting 2009/10 2010/11 2011/12 2012/13 2013/14 2014/15 Total Category Requirement Expenditures Expenditures Expenditures Expenditures Expenditures Expenditures Expenditures Non-Senior 87% $23,043,458 $3,073,650 $4,609,335 $5,342,150 $3,845,040 $3,138,535 $43,052,169 99% Senior 13% $350,000 $0 $0 $0 $0 $0 $350,OOD 1% 100% $23,393,458 $3,073,650 $4,609,335 $5,342,150 $3,845,040 $3,138,535 $43,402,168 100% 'The distribution of FY 2005/06 -2009/1D E~enditures is based on the project-specific loans/agreements made during the Third Five-Year Implementation P Ian and the ratios associated withverylow,lowandmoderateincomeunitproduction.

Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page 177 3.9 AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMPLIANCE PLAN 3.9.1 HOUSING PRODUCTION The previous Five Year Implementation Plan anticipated a certain level of development that has not materialized due to market constraints. The Agency continues to aggressively pursue affordable housing opportunities within the Town Center and South Central Project Areas as well as outside the Project Areas to benefit the Town Center and South Central Project Areas. Although rehabilitation and construction activities directly by the Agency are not currently anticipated by the Implementation Plan, at least 30% of the housing developed or substantially rehabilitated by a Redevelopment Agency within a project area must be available at affordable housing cost, and occupied by persons or families of low to moderate income. Of these units, 50% must be affordable to very low income households. This requirement applies only to units directly developed by the Agency and would not apply to units developed by housing developers pursuant to agreements with or assistance from the Agency. As of January, 2004, long term affordability covenants must be recorded on dwelling units produced pursuant to Section 33413 of the CRL, requiring that the units be maintained at an affordable housing cost to, and occupied by persons and families of low to moderate income, for the longest feasible time but not less than 55 years for rental units and 45 years for owner occupied units. The affordability controls on such units must be made enforceable by recorded covenants or restrictions in the same manner as required for units assisted by the Agency's 20% Housing Set Aside Fund if they are to count towards meeting production requirements. The above requirements apply not just to new construction but also substantially rehabilitated dwelling units. Per §33413(b)(2)(A)(iii) of the CRL, substantially rehabilitated dwelling units means all units substantially rehabilitated with Agency assistance. CRL §33413(b)(2)(A)(iv) also defines substantial rehabilitation as "rehabilitation, the value of which constitutes 25 percent of the after rehabilitation value of the dwelling, inclusive of land value. Section 33413(b)(4) of the CRL also requires that the Agency's Implementation Plan for housing activities must be consistent with the community's housing element and the Agency's housing production requirement must be met every ten years. If more than the required numbers of low and moderate income units are developed in the ten year period, the affordable units in excess of the required number may be counted towards the agency's requirements for the next ten year period. If fewer than the required number of units are developed at the end of the ten year period, the agency must meet its production goals on an annual basis until the requirements for the ten year period are met. The Agency may cause the required inclusionary housing units to be produced inside or outside the redevelopment project area, but all units developed or substantially rehabilitated by the private sector, require two units outside the project area for each unit that otherwise would have had to be available inside the project area. Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page 178 3.9.2 PAST PRODUCTION OF AFFORDABLE UNITS IN THE PROJECT AREAS To date, the Agency has not itself, developed or rehabilitated housing in either the Town Center or South Central Project Areas. However, new private housing construction and substantial rehabilitation of price-restricted units has occurred in both the Town Center and South Central Project Areas and outside the Project Areas which benefit the Project Areas, since the adoption of the redevelopment plans. A summary of the total number of units which have been developed in the Town Center and South Central Project Areas are shown in TABLE 3-6, along with the affordable housing obligations as assigned to the very low, low and moderate income categories. While the CRL identifies the minimum percentage of the units produced at the very low income level, the minimum percent is not specified between the low income and the moderate income categories which are combined in TABLE 3-6 for analysis purposes. Based on the information shown in TABLE 3-8, the Agency is meeting and exceeding the housing production requirements under the law. To meet its potential housing production requirements over the next ten year period and the life of both Redevelopment Plans, the Agency will apply its surplus balance of affordable housing production units, as permitted under CRL. In addition, the Agency has adopted a policy with its CAHS that requires that the required 15% affordable housing obligation be met on a site by site basis and be accommodated in new residential development projects that are within the boundaries of the Project Areas, and secures affordability covenants on substantially rehabilitated units located within and outside the boundaries of the Project Area.

AppendixA contains detailed, historic production figures by project within the Town Center and South Central Redevelopment Project Areas. 2 Pre-AB 1290 historic production and obligations prior to July 1, 2005. Based on total production of 671 housing units. 3 Five (5)low-income homes at Tustin Grove and three (3) FTHB; one (1) low-income and (2)moderate-income are no longer affordable homes.

Aportion ofthe Villages of Columbus'; Cantara (27)and Westbourne (16)developments -a total of43 units -is in the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, but not in the MCAS Tustin Redevelopment Project Area. These units were reduced from the total number of units produced in the MCAS Tustin Redevelopment Project Area. s Under CRL, for every 2 housing units produced outside the Project Areas, the Agency receives 1 production credit (2 housing units produced = 1 production credit). On this basis, production credit assigned to each credited site outside the project area was as follows: Olson/Tustin Block (10=5 ).

Z Clarendon, Cambridge and Camden are developments in the Villages ofColumbus and the affordable housing units in these developments were the result of Housing Density bonuses provided by the City. s Although Heritage Place units are counted under Historic Production (prior to FY 2005/06) in the Inclusionary Housing Production table since they were built prior to the Third Five-Year Implementation Plan, the development is represented in this table as the result ofthe $350,000 loan provided duringthe Third Five-Year Implementation Plan (FY2005/06-2009/10). 3.9.3 HOUSING UNITS TO BE DEVELOPED (future production) Because the residential areas of both the Town Center and South Central Project Areas are essentially built-out, the majority of new construction in the Project Areas will be in-fill redevelopment and substantial rehabilitation of existing housing units by the private sector within and outside the Project Areas to benefit each Project Area. The successful implementation of projects, programs, and expenditures identified previously in the housing portion of the Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page ~ 81 Implementation Plan will insure the Agency continues to exceed Inclusionary Housing Production requirements under State Law, as illustrated in TABLE 3-10. Although the Agency is currently exceeding (TABLE 3-8) and will continue to exceed its Inclusionary Housing Production (TABLE 3-10), the Agency is required to continue to apply its tax increment resources in meeting additional affordability requirements. The Agency, under CRL, is responsible for eliminating blight and is required to set aside no less than 20 percent of the tax increment received from a Redevelopment Project Area for the purpose of increasing, improving and preserving the community's supply of low and moderate income housing. In addition, all future housing production in the MCAS Tustin Redevelopment Project Area, a benefit to the Town Center and South Central Redevelopment Project Areas (RDA Resolutions 05-01 and 05-02), is governed by CRL and the City Council-adopted MCAS Tustin Specific Plan and, as such, is required to include at least 15% for low and moderate income housing. Not only does CRL require the Agency to set aside twenty percent (20%) of its funds for low and moderate income housing, but, as identified in Section 3.8, CRL requires these funds to be expended in the same proportion as the numbers of very low and low income households are to the total number of units needed within the community as identified under RHNA. The Orange County Business Council's Inaugural 2007 and updated 2008 Workforce Housing Scorecard has recognized the City's and Agency's efforts to provide low and moderate income housing (workforce housing) by rating the City amongst the top three or four cities in Orange County. In considering past workforce housing efforts (1991-2005), Tustin was ranked third out of thirty-four Orange County cities. In considering present and future workforce housing efforts, Tustin is ranked fourth out of the thirty-four cities.

Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page ~ 83 3.10 REPLACEMENT HOUSING OBLIGATIONS CRL §33413(x) requires that whenever dwelling units housing low or moderate income households are destroyed or removed from the low and moderate income housing market as part of a redevelopment project that is subject to a written agreement with the Agency or where financial assistance has been provided by the Agency, the Agency shall, within four years of the destruction or removal, rehabilitate, develop, or construct, or cause to be rehabilitated, developed, or constructed, an equal number of replacement dwelling units which have an equal or greater number of bedrooms as those removed or destroyed at affordable housing costs within the jurisdiction of the Agency. The replacement housing units shall be available at affordable housing cost to persons in the same or a lower income category (low, very low, or moderate), as the persons displaced from those destroyed or removed units. The South Central and Town Center Redevelopment Plans and Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan have determined that eight units will require replacement during this five year period. This will result in the relocation costs associated with two pre-acquisition households as well as the housing replacement requirement for eight units. The Replacement Housing Section of the Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan summarizes the number of units which have already been destroyed, estimates the number which may be destroyed through Fiscal Year 2014-15 and evaluates whether the Agency appeared to be in compliance with meeting its replacement housing requirement. As stated above, all units removed as a result of direct or indirect Agency action must be replaced. Under prior law, 75 percent of the replacement units had to be for the same income level as the unit destroyed. As of January 1, 2002, that requirement increased to 100 percent. Historically, the Agency has produced many more replacement housing units than required. The Agency's balance as of the beginning of the cycle for the Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan is provided in TABLE 3-11, which follows. APPENDIX B provides more detail regarding the bedrooms of the units destroyed or removed and the bedrooms provided in the replacement units.

The following are the major blighting characteristics identified and how the proposed Agency housing activities during the next five-year period will eliminate or prevent the spread of these blighting conditions within the Project Area: • Deterioration, Age, & Obsolescence Heritage Place The Agency is revising the single-family and multi-family rehabilitation programs in order to increase rehabilitation activity during the Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan and eliminate the deteriorating condition of housing. Smaller apartment projects containing two to eight units each could be acquired and rehabilitated, or converted to new development and sold or rented to qualified tenants with restrictions which limit the use of the property and limit the extent to which home prices or rents may increase. New Construction funding may also be available to purchase deteriorated, aged and obsolescent properties from absentee landlords and substantially rehabilitate. Homebuyer assistance loans and the Fourth Five-Year Implementation Plan, Town Center & South Central Redevelopment Project Areas Page 185 Mortgage Credit Certificate Program will increase owner-occupied housing in the Project Areas and investments to update older, deteriorating properties. Each of these housing programs will enhance the image of the area and eliminate the blighting conditions of substandard and deteriorating structures in the Project Area by encouraging private investment and promoting home ownership. • Inadequate Public Improvements & Utilities. New Construction funding for affordable housing through the Multifamily Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Conversion to Ownership Housing and Multifamily Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Rental Housing programs may provide assistance with off-site improvements to improve traffic flow and enhance streetscapes. New Construction funding may incentivize developments to consolidate and optimize parcels through improved building design and layouts, resulting in the provision of additional parking. Additional opportunities to address inadequate public improvements and utilities through affordable housing funds are dependent upon the project size and scope. • Depreciated Values, Impaired Investments, & Economic Maladjustment. Property owners will be able to address the incompatibility of their residential property with existing and proposed land uses through the Multifamily Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Conversion to Ownership Housing and Multifamily Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Rental Housing programs. Potential General Plan and Zoning changes as a result of the "Neighborhoods of Tustin Town Center - A New Beginning" Study could provide property owners with opportunities to develop their properties in a manner compatible with surrounding properties. Although conditions have improved because of redevelopment activity in the Project Area, there are rental properties incompatible with existing and proposed land uses. The Agency will address depreciated values, impaired investments and economic maladjustment by facilitating and supporting monetary investment by the private sector to acquire, assemble, and develop vacant and underutilized land. Depreciated values, impaired investments and economic maladjustment will also be addressed by First-Time Homebuyer programs that increase home ownership opportunities and the Rehabilitation program that provides financial assistance in the form of grants and loans to support existing homeowners' efforts to improve their property.

Based on projections by Taussig and Associates, Inc. that the annual tax increment (assuming 0% growth) will be approximately $4,675,353, the Agency would reach its Tax Increment Limit of $90,000,000 in FY 2013/14 or earlier if tax increment growth occurs more rapidly. Pursuant to CRL §33331.5, the Agency can extend the last date to receive tax increment/repay debt for each year the Agency makes a Supplemental Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (SERAF) payment as required by the 2009-10 state budget (adoption of ABX4-26). In accordance with ABX4-26, the Agency made a SERAF payment in FY 2009-10 and is scheduled to make another SERAF payment in FY 2010-11. After Sacramento Superior Court Judge Lloyd Connelly upheld the legality of the SERAF payments, the California Redevelopment Association filed an appeal with the Third District Court of Appeal to overturn ABX4-26. The Agency is waiting for a decision to be made on the appeal before extending the time limits. In determining the Cumulative Tax Increment Limit, the Agency excluded the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF) and Supplemental Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (SERAF) payments in the calculation.

The South Central Project Area's last date to receive tax increment is July 15, 2028, 46 Fiscal Years from the Plan adoption date of August 1, 1983. Multiplying the 46 years times the annual average of $2.5 million, equals a Cumulative Tax Increment Limit of $115,000,000. Based on March 2010 projections by HdL, Coren & Cone that the annual tax increment (assuming 0% growth) received will be approximately $4,412,000, the Agency would reach its Tax Increment Limit of $115,000,000 in FY 2022/23 or earlier if tax increment growth occurs more rapidly. Pursuant to CRL §33331.5, the Agency can extend the last date to receive tax increment/repay debt for each year the Agency makes a Supplemental Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (SERAF) payment as required by the 2009-10 state budget (adoption of ABX4-26). The Agency made a payment in FY 2009-10 and is scheduled to make another in FY 2010-11. After Sacramento Superior Court Judge Lloyd Connelly upheld the legality of the SERAF payments, the California Redevelopment Association filed an appeal with the Third District Court of Appeal to overturn ABX4-26. The Agency is waiting for a decision to be made on the appeal before extending the time limits. If the time limits are extended, the cumulative tax increment limit will increase to $120,000,000. The cumulative amount of tax increment received is determined before pass through payments and Housing Set-Aside funds are allocated.
