MEMORaNDUv1
DATE: JANUARY 13, ?000
TO: EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF
AGENCY BOARD
FROM: TERESA L. LAROCCA, HOUSING viANAGER
SUBJECT: 73-357 KELSEY CIRCLE SOUTH
Recommendation:
That the Agency Board by minute motion authorize the acquisition of 73-357 Kelsey Circle
South (APN 634-241-005-3) for the purpose of retaining affordability covenants and resale.
Background•
The above referenced property is owned by Mr. Eiichi Ono a moderate income buyer at Desert
� Rose. Mr. Ono has elected to exercise his right to sell the property, and the staff desires to
exercise the Agency's option to purchase the property in order to retain affordability covenants
and identify a qualified buyer to purchase the unit. �
The home originally sold for S73,950 plus brokerage commissions and closing costs for a total
escrow of $86,179. Based on the formula for resale described in the Unit Regulatory Agreement,
the current owner is authorized to sell the home for S83,182 plus reasonable brokerage
commissions and closing costs, or a total resale price of 591,500.
Mr. Ono has agreed to sell the home to the Agency for SS6,000 on a quick sale. The Agency's
broker is currently working on identifying a qualified buyer to �vhom the .4gency can assign its
position in escrow. Should this not be possible, the .�gency �vill close escrow and arrange for a
"binder" for the eventual sale by the Agency to a qualified buyer thereby reducing future title and
escrow costs to the Agency. The Agency will liold the property until a qualified buyer can be
identified. The offering resale price by the owner gi�•es the Agency the ability to recoup
additional costs that �vill be incurred as a result of holding the property until a qualified buyer
can be identified.
As Mr. Ono was a moderate income buyer there �vas no second trust deed made by the Agency
and attached to the property. As a result of there being no second trust deed that can be rolled
`�, over to a potential buver, the sale of this unit has been a little more difficult. Should the Agency
desire to resell to a lo���er income buyer, it will lia�•e to consider offering a second trust deed to
reduce the mortgage once a lower income buyer is identified. It is staff's belief that if a small
`" second trust deed is offered in conjunction with the resale of this property it can be sold in a
timely manner.
Funds are available in the Agency's Housing Set-aside Fund balance.

From: Mayor Buford Crites
Subject: Interviews for Committee/Commission Applicants
Date: December 8, 1999

production requirement of 413 units. Also, this Compliance Plan documents how the affordable
housing programs completed prior to the first Compliance Plan produced 645 affordable housing
units. FuRher during the first five years of the planning period the Agency has succeeded in
adding 345 affordable units, thereby providing a total of 999 affordable units to date.
The Agency was established pursuant to the Califomia Community Redevelopment Law, Health
& Safety Code Secrion 33000 et seq. (the "Law"). The City Council adopted Ordinance No. 53
on October 24, 1974, which activated the Agency. With this action the City embarked on a
comprehensive effort to eliminate blighting and adverse conditions within tf�e City. The focus of
the City's revitalization efforts has been channeled through the adoption and implementation of
its Redevelopment Plans. The Agency's first redevelopment project area, Project Area No. 1,
was adopted in July of 1976 and subsequently amended in 1982 to add territory. Since then, the
Agency has adopted three (3) additional redevelopment project areas. The Agency has
accomplished numerous redevelopment, development, and infrastructure projects that have
revitalized many properties within all of its Project Areas. The Agency has also made a
substantial effort to improve and increase the City's supply of affordable housing. The Agency
has four (4) adopted redevelopment project areas encompassing an estimated 11,771 acres of the
City's incorporated temtory.
Lega! Requirements for Compliance Plans
Pursuant to the requirements of Section 33413(b)(4) and 33490(a)(2) and (3) of the California
Community Redevelopment Law, Health and Safety Code Section 33000, et. seq. ("Law"), this
Compliance Plan sets forth the Agency's program for ensuring that the appropriate number of
very low, low, and moderate-income housing units will be produced as a result of new
conshuction or substantial rehabilitation. i
1 Since 1994, Section 33413 of the Law defines "substantial rehabilitation" as "rehabilitation, the value of which
constitutes 25 percent of the after rehabilitated value of the dwelling, inclusive of the land value." Prior to 1994, this
definition did not exist, and the definition of substantial rehabilitation was left to the discretion of redevelopment
agencies.
Also, Section 50052.5 of Health and Safety Code defines affordable housing cost as:
- Very Low - Not more than 30% of 50% of the County median household income.
- Low - Not more [han 30% of 70% (or 60% for rental projects) of the County median household income.
- Moderate - Not more than 35% of I 10% (or 30% of 120% for rental projects) of the County median household
income.

� The Law further provides for the following specific regulations with regard to implementation of
its housing provisions:
➢ Section 33413(b)(2)(A)(ii) provides that the Agency's obligations under Section
33413 may be met by providing affordable housing outside the project areas on a
two-for one basis;
➢ Section 33413(b)(2)(A)(v) allows the Agency to meet its housing obligations in the
aggregate among all project areas; Section 33413(b)(2)(B) allows the Agency to
purchase long-tenn affordability covenants on e�cisting multifamily units; and
➢ Section 33413(c)(2) which allows the sale of affordable owner occupied units at
market rate if a replacement unit or units are provided within three (3) years of the
sale.
During the adoption process for the Project Areas, the Agency adopted resolutions for each
Project Area that allow the Agency to expend its twenty percent (20%) housing set-aside money
outside of each respective Project Area by making findings that it will be of benefit to each
Project Area. As mentioned above, Section 33413(b)(2)(A)(v) allows the Agency to meet
af%rdable housing obligations in the aggregate between the Project Areas if the Agency finds,
based on substantial evidence and after a public hearing, that such aggregation will not cause or
exacerbate racial, ethnic, or economic segregarion.
The Agency finds that the aggregation its at%rdable housing obligations between its
`"' Project Areas is of benefit to the Project Areas and the community, and that such
aggregation will not cause or exacerbate racial, ethnic, or economic segregation.
Contents ot the Compliance Plan
This Compliance Plan has been developed to accomplish the following goals:
� To account for the number of affordable d�velling units, either constructed or substantially
rehabilitated, in the Project Areas since their adoptions;
� To review affordable housing production needs and activiries over the past five years,
pursuant to the prior 1993 & 1994 Compliance Plan;
� To forecast the estimated number of dwelling units to be privately developed or substantially
rehabilitated between 1994-95 and 2003-04 and over the duration of the Redevelopment
Plans;
� To forecast the estimated number of dwelling units to be developed or substantially
rehabilitated by the Agency between 1994-95 and 2003-04;
� To project the availability of City/Agency and other revenue sources for funding affordable
housing production;

� To identify implementation policies/programs and potential sites for affordable housing
development,
� To establish a timeline for implementing this Compliance Plan to ensure that the
requirements of Section 33413 are met during the 10-year period between 1994-95 and 2003-
04; and
� To review the affordable housing goals, objectives, and programs conta.ined in City of Palm
Desert's Housing Element ("Housing Element") to confum tius Compliance Plan is
consistent with the Housing Element.
Purpose
Since 1976, redevelopment and community development agencies have been reyuired to assure
tfiat at least 30% of all new or substantially rehabilitated units developed by an agency ate
available at affordable costs to households of very low, low, or moderate income. Of this 30%,
not less than 50% are required to be available at affordable costs to very low-income households.
Further, for all units developed by entities other than an agency, the Law requires that at least
1 S% of all new or substantially rehabilitated dwelling units within the Project Area be made
available at affordable costs to low or moderate income households. Of these, not less than 40%
of the dwelling units are required to be available at affordable costs to very low-income
households. These requirements aze applicable to housing units as aggregated, and not on a
project-by-project basis to each d�velling unit created or substantially rehabilitated unless so
required by an agency.
In 1994 the Law was amended to require redevelopment agencies to prepare a plan that
demonstrated how tiie agency would achieve the aforementioned af�'ordable housing mandates.
Known as af%rdable housing compliance plans, the Law also requires agencies to update said
plans every five years.
Methodo/ogy and Data Compilation
This Compliance Plan takes into account all residential construction or substantial rehabilitation
that has occurred within the Project Areas since their adoptions in order to determine affordable
housing production needs; it accounts for existing residential construction and substantial
rehabilitation, and includes projections of new dwelling units that may be constructed or
substantially rehabilitated during a ten year planning period.
Historical construction and substantial rehabilitation statistics were provided by the Agency. It
should be noted that neither the existing housing stock nor projections for future dwelling units
in the Project Areas include any units to be developed by the Agency. The Agency does not
anticipate directly developing or substantially rehabilitating any dwelling units that would trigger
the 30% affordable housing requirement within the ten-year planning period of tius Compliance
Plan. However, the Agency will continue to cooperate with and provide assistance and
incentives to private developers and the Housing Authority in order to meet affordable housing
.r.
production goals.

Provision of Affordable Housinp to Date
Pre-�994 Activities
Prior to the commencement of the ten-year planning period in 1994, tiie Agency wws activity
involved in pursing the reservation, production, improvement and retention of affordable housing
within the Project Areas and the community at large. Since May of 1991 when the Agency
entered into a Stipulated Judgment regarding the provision of affordable housing in the
community, the Agency has actively pursued and monitored the reservation and development of
affordable housing for low and moderate income persons and households within the community.
The Agency's first housing program was a joint program with the Riverside County Housing
Authority. The Agency participated in funding a bond issue that allowed the County Housing
Authority to purchase and reserve (for low and moderate income persons) five (5) apartrnent
complexes located in Project Area No. l. The Agency provided the County with substantial
annual funding to pay debt service on the bonds and operate the complexes. Acquisition and
rehabilitation of One Quail Place, Las Serenas, Desert Pointe, The Pueblos, Neighbors, and
Catalina by the County Housing Authority produced a total of 709 affordable units �vithin Project
No. l. Additionally, Las Serenas Senior Aparhments were purchased and rehabilitated by the
County Housing Authority with Agency assistance providing 150 ai%rdable senior apariment
units within the City.
The Agency also developed a Self-Help Housing Program through the Coachella Valley Housing
Coalition. Through Agency funding eleven (11) low incomes single-family homes were
produced and occupied.
T'he Agency also initiated the Portola Palms Mobile Home Park Conversion Program. This
program involved the Agency and the State assisting the mobile home coach Owners Association
acquire the Park with the goal of selling the individual spaces to the existing residents. This
program did not get underway during the 1994-1998 time period.
During tfus period the Agency worked closely with the City to facilitate affordable housing.
Through the City's density bonus program four (4) rental projects received density bonuses,
providing 25 low and moderate-income units within the City.
Post-1994 Activities to Date (January 1994-June 1999)
The Agency's affordable housing program has generated additional inclusionary housing units
over the past five years. An inventory of the affordable housing units produced to date is
included on Table A, and shows projects completed through reservation, new consttuction,
substantial rehabilitation and purchase of lease covenants. In total, these affordable housing
production programs have resulted in the reservation of 354 affordable dwelling units, including
60 units affordable to very low-income households.
� Specific Projects undertaken by the Agency during this time period are as follows:

The Agency has made significant progress in its efforts to comply with the Inclusionary Housing
requirements of the Law. From 1983 through June of 1994 the Agency reserved or produced a
total of 645 affordable housing units. Major efforts since June of 1994 have resulted in the
reservation of an addition of 360 affordable housing units widun the City. Table B above details
units built from the date of adoption of each of the Project Areas to June of 1994. The table also
provides an estimate of housing units to be built for the following time periods: for the next five
years, 1999-2000 through 2003-2004; the ne� ten years, 1999-2000 through 2008-2009; and till

Projected Production Housing Needs
Estimates for the total number of dwelling units to be constructed within the Project Areas, both
during the ten year planning period (1994-95 through 2003-04) and over the life of the
Redevelopment Plans (1975 through 2043), were generated by the Agency based on a review of
infill and build out opportunities in the Project Areas.
The City estimates that 5,633 units have been constructed or substantially rehabilitated from the
date of adoption of each Redevelopment Plan through June of 1994. The City also estimates that
from July of 1994 through June of 1999 1,182 housing units were added collectively to the
Project Areas and from July 1999 through June of 2003 a potential 1,569 housing units may be
added to the Project Areas.
Projected Planning Period Production Housing Surplus
Table C idenrified 354 affordable units that have been reserved over t�e past five years. These
units include 70 very low-income units. Table B details the Agency's estimated inclusionary
housing production needs for the next five, ten and duration of the Redevelopment Plans. Based
on the housing production estimates for the balance of the 10-year planning period, the Agency
would be required to produce a net 59 affordable dwelling units for the 10-year period, including
105 very low income units.

Estimated Housing Program Resources
Date: Time: 9:50:58 AM
Page 13 of 16
One of the Agency's primary sources of revenues for housing program implementation is the
annual 20% housing set-aside deposits. The Law requires that not less than twenty percent
(20%) of all tax increment revenue allocated to the Agency must be used to increase, improve,
and preserve the community's supply of housing available, at affordable housing cost, to persons
and families of very low, low, and moderate incomes.
In addition, as set forth in Section 33334.4 of the Law, it is the sta.ted policy of the Legislature
that "...it shall be the policy of each agency to expend, over the duration of the redevelopment
plan, the moneys in the low and moderate income housing fund to assist housing for persons of
low and very low income in at least the same proportion as the total number of housing units
needed for those income groups which are not being provided by other governmental programs
bears to the total number of units needed for persons of moderate, low, and very low income
within the community."
As shown in Table C, the Agency projects a total of $56 million of housing fund revenues and
cash balances that may be available to fund housing programs during the remaining five years of
the planning period. Assumptions in growth of individual Project Area's assessed values are
discussed in the revenue and budget section of the Implementation Plan.
� Projections of Housing Fund expenditures are also shown on Table D. Housing Fund
expenditures include administrative costs, and new program costs. In total, expenditures are
projected to be $47 million over the remaining five years of the planning period.
Of the $47 million, $24 million has been designated for new projects and programs.

Proposed lmp/ementation /nitiatives
The Agency will continue implementation of affordable housing projects throughout the Project
Areas and Citywide over the balance of the 10-year planning period. In that the Agency's recent
housing production activities have resulted in a substantial number of affordable housing units
being created, reserved or produced. During the cutrent planning period, the Agency will
concentrate its efforts in generating additional units to meet its inclusionary requirements and
Housing Element goals Citywide. Future implementation activities will fall into the following
categories:
� Santa Rosa II Aparhnents Rehabilitation- The Agency will acquire and rehabilitate the Santa
Rosa II Aparhnent complex. At completion of the project the property will be held by the
City' Housing Authority thereby providing and reserving 18 very low-income units in
perpetuity.

Date: Time: 9:50:58 AM
� 40/20-Acre Development — It is the Agency's intent to acquire and facilitate the development
of single family and multi-family dwelling units on this site. It is estimated that 311of units
will be produced.
�
� Sin le Famil Rehabilitation — The Agency will continue its successful single-family
rehabilitation program.
� Multi-familv Rehabilitation — The Agency will purchase and rehabilitate suitable rental
properties there by providing 54 very low income affordable housing units.
� Senior Citizen Housin�- The Agency will pursue the development of 50 new senior housing
units within the community. This project is targeted to reserve 25 affordable units for the
very low income and 25 units for the low-income senior.
� Self-Help Housing- The Agency will contribute to the Self-Help Housing Program thereby
creating 6 affordable housing units.
Potentia/ Sites tor Future Production Housing
Potential sites for affordable housing include property zoned for residential uses throughout the
City. During the planning period, the Agency will work with private and nonprofit developers to
find sites that are suitable for cost efficient development and rehabilitarion of affordable housing.
lmplementation Timeline
Table E shows an estimated annual production timeline for the production and estimated costs of
affordable dwelling units over the balance of the ten-year planning period. Because many
programs are still in their formative stage, specific details of the type and number of units created
aze not yet certain.

City Housing Element Consistency
A major focal point of the goals policies and objectives of the Housing Element is to provide
housing for all economic segments of the City, especially lower income families. Because the
major goal of this Compliance Plan is also to provide housing for tfiese lower income
households, and the proposed plans and programs for improving the supply of affordable housing
in the City presented in this Compliance Plan are similar to plans and policies of the Housing
Element, there is clearly consistency between the Compliance Plan and the Housing Element.
Finally, future housing programs proposed in this Compliance Plan are designed to compliment
Housing Element objectives, including the provision of special needs housing and creation of
housing in proportionally the same income categories as the City's RHNA needs.

RETROFITTING OF LANDSCAPING

The following two proposals were received:
l. Ron Gregory and Associates
Proposal is included in your package.
2. TDK Landscape Design
TDK thanked us for the opportunity to bid on the project, however stated
that they were too busy to respond at this time.
Staff has met with Ron Gregory and Associates and is currently negotiating the price and
defining the scope of work involved. Once a new proposal has been submitted, we will present
the new information to you asking for authorization to award the contract.
REPAIR AND RESURFACING
Staff is currently holding meetings with our Public Works Department to determine the scope of
work involved.
Taos Palms Apartments benefitted from the meeting that Staff had with Public Works
Department. The amount of work needed was reduced for the repair and resurfacing of Taos
Palms. The aprons that were once a driveway approach, and are now abandoned, are being
removed. They are currently installing a sidewalk along with landscaping in place of the apron
approaches where needed. This will be accomplished through our Curb and Gutter Program.
In addition, Las Serenas is benefitting under the Curb and Gutter Program by having a section of
the driveway approaches removed, replaced and re-sloped along with adding a sidewalk that
crosses the area.
PALM VILLAGE APARTMENTS
The 12-unit apartment complex, the City has purchased, is currently being reviewed to determine
whether we should:
Rehabilitate the existing 12-unit apartment complex
Add an additional 2 to 3 units
Perhaps, incorporate a second story to the existing structure.
These figures will determine if the addition of a second story and perhaps the purchase of the
vacant land nearby is a feasible project. Once the final estimate is done, staff will be presenting
this information for your review.

I do not know if you recall, but we met at the 1999 Advanced Commissioners' Seminar in Monterey,
California. You spoke, one afternoon, about a program developed and implemented by your city wherein
:� a tenant could go from renter to homeowner through participarion in a savings program that would
accumulate to the tenant in lieu of increased rent. I expressed my interest in the program design and said
I would contact you to request any and all information that you have on the program procedures and
guidelines.
The program makes incredible sense and more importantly affords a family the opportunity to go from a
rental environment to a position of homeownership which I applaud. Anything and everything that you can
send me regarding this program and its design would be most graciously appreciated. I hope that your trip
home was a pleasant one and that your holidays were filled with family, celebration and great expectations
for the coming year.

Dear Charlene:
� Jf� �.�Af' ,R�,r�;ITf_�.
Enclosed is our revised proposal for landscape architectural services for the One
Quail Place refurbishment.
� As we had discussed in our meeting earlier this week, we have reduced our fee
based on the more streamlined design and site observation approach that we would
typically use with private developers.
I would also like to point out that, as we had discussed, we have added another
category of work: the reworking of the existing lake and stream system to reduce the
area of these features and provide better site drainage. If you decide that you can
live with the current layout of the lakes and streams, we will deduct $5,000 from our
design fee, leaving a total design fee of $30,000.
Please give me a call at your convenience so that can further discuss our proposal.
Once again, I very much appreciate this opportunity to work with you!
Best regards,

The Tenants Finally Moved,
But They Left Their
Personal Belongings.
What Do I Do?
Having been a landlord and property
manager for years before becoming an
attorney, I repeatedly faced the dilemma
of what to do with the furniture and
personal belongings that a vacated tenant
left behind at my rental. Can I throw it
out, because I sure don't want this junk?
But, how do I keep them from suing me
later claiming they left a diamond behind?
Actually, the law is quite clear and simple,
and it works to protect the residential
landlord. If the items left behind is not
trash and the estimated resale value is
less than $300.00, follow this simple 5-
step approach and your worries will fade
away.
1. Estimate the reasonable resale
valne of the property left be6ind. A
landlord can use his personal judgment
to estimate the resale value of the
property, as long as his estimate is
reasonable. However, if unique items
were present in the personal property it
would be prudent to get an independent
appraisal. If the estimated resale value is
less then $300.00, that's great for you
for now you are not required to hold a
public auction. This cuts your hassle
factor by half. However, if the resale value
exceeds $300.00, you'll need to read next
month's article or call my office for

CONTROLLING UNAUTHORIZED
OCCUPANTS
By Chris E. McGoey, CPP, CSP, CAM, the Crime Doctor
Multihousing
crime studies have
repeatedly shown
that moderate to high-crime problems
can usually be traced back to a small
percentage of residents. Many times
those causing the crime problems are the
acquaintances, ex-spouses, or
boyfriends of a legal resident who
decided to move in without your
knowledge. The best way to head off
this problem is to have good resident
screening and clearly defined and
articulated community rules that are
emphasized during the lease application
process. Proof of this method is well
documented, as police calls for service
seem to fluctuate proportionally as
resident screening standards and rule
enforcement vary following management
changes.
Good resident screening involves
checking credit, einployment, r•ental
history, and criminal background. A
good screening plan should call for all
non-dependent occupants to be
included on the lease and subject to the
same resident� qualifications. All children
should be identified on the lease along
with maximum occupancy limits. In this
day and age, resident screening is more
than establishing the ability to pay rent.
In my experience, properties that tend
to have a higher percentage of
unauthorized occupants have lowered
their screening standards on credit,
rental and employment history, and don't
do criminal background checks. A policy
of collecting double deposits or getting
co-signers for an otherwise unqualified
applicant is asking for trouble down the
road.
When career criminals (usually young
males) cannot qualify to rent, they will try
to infiltrate your property by secretly
moving in with a legal resident. As you
might expect, these undesirable occupants
tend to attract other unsavory characters.
From there the character of your property
can change drastically, if left unchecked.
The problem becomes acute when these
unauthorized occupants are unemployed
criminal types who hang out all day and all
night and begin to ply their trade within
your community. A symptom of this
condition is high traffic in and out of a unit
or group of units.
To fix serious illegal occupancy
problems, sometimes you have to clean
house and evict residents for non-
compliance with your residency
requirements. You need to re-emphasize
your occupancy standards and then fairly
but 6rmly enforce the rules. The Crime-
Free Multihousing Program Lease
Addendum is a good example of
community rules that can be legally
enforced.
A fair question often asked is how
do I identify an unauthorized occupant
versus a short-term social guest? The
answer is to know your residents. This
may seem like an impossible task,
especially when your community exceeds
one hundred units. To solve this identity
crisis, property managers around the
country have found creative ways to get
to know their residents.
