ITEM 2 (0700-10)
FIRST AMENDMENT
DISPOSITION & DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
COMMUNITY HOUSINGWORKS
COMMUNITY ROAD AFFORDABLE HOUSING
8583
Page 4 - CITY OF POWAY - February 7,2006
Director of Redevelopment Services/Deputy Executive Director Johnson introduced the item
and Ingrid Alverde, Housing Program Manager, presented the staff report. On June 28,2005,
the City Council/Redevelopment Agency approved a Disposition and Development
Agreement (DDA) between the Poway Redevelopment Agency and Community
HousingWorks to construct and operate a 56-unit affordable housing development. The
Redevelopment Agency approved a $1.5 million bridge loan (to allow for early grading) that
was to convert to a $75,000 permanent loan at the start of construction. The cost to construct
the development has increased by $1.55 million due to increased materials and labor costs.
After negotiating a deferral of a portion of the developer fee, additional investment from Union
Bank and National Equity Fund, an additional $725,000 is needed. Staff recommended
amending the DDA to allow the permanent loan to increase from $75,000 to $775,000 and to
allow the bridge loan to be extended through the construction period to save $25,000 of
accrued interest.
Sue Reynolds and Mary Jane Jagodzinski of Community HousingWorks were present for
questions and thanked the Council.
Motion by Councilmember/Director Higginson and seconded by Councilmember/Director
Emery to approve the First Amendment to the Disposition and Development Agreement for
the Community Road Affordable Multi-family Housing Development to allow for an increase in
the permanent Agency loan to Community HousingWorks from $75,000 to $775,000, to allow
the bridge loan to be extended through the construction period to save $25,000 of accrued
interest and authorize the City Manager/Executive Director to execute all necessary
documents. Motion carried 4-0 with Deputy MayorNice Chair Rexford absent.
