PUBLIC HEARINGS 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.
