Mr. Stendell noted that if this item is approved, staff plans to meet with property owners again in June orJuly to provide an update and explain the potential layouts and issues that will be dealt with.

REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF THE REPLACEMENT HOUSING PLAN FOR THE PROPERTY KNOWN AS ADOBE VILLAS, 45330 OCOTILLO DRIVE (JOINT CONSIDERATION WITH THE PALM DESERT HOUSING AUTHORITY). Ms. Moore stated that back In 2011 before Redevelopment was eliminated, the Redevelopment Agency had contemplated building a parking lot for which a funding agreement was approved by Council on an earlier item on the agenda. The parking lot was to be on a property that housed an apartment complex, and whenever the Redevelopment Agency removed housing units that were available to low- and moderate -income housing, staff had to create a Relocation Plan, identfy the amount for the relocation of the tenants, and create a Replacement Housing Plan (RHP). The RHP had to identify units that would either be used from existing inventory or units that would be developed in the future to cover the ones being destroyed. Unfortunately, both plans were presented, and the Relocation Plan was adopted prior to the Governor taking action that said the City/Agency could not enter or adopt those plans. What was caught In the middle was the 5 RES. NO. OB - 083 MINUTES SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE PALM DESERT REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MEETING MAY 22, 2014 Replacement Housing Plan. This Replacement Housing Plan was noticed in 2011 and placed on the July 201-1 agenda, but because the Governor actually signed legislation after the June Council meeting, staff had to continue the item to a date uncertain. Because it was the former Agency and City that noticed the Plan, staff provided a notice In the newspaper for the last two weeks indicating that the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency and the Palm Desert Housing Authority would be taking over those responsibilities as the successor to those two entitles. Therefore, before the Council Is the Replacement Housing Plan, which was done under the name of the Redevelopment Agency In 2011. In order to contemplate and/or carry out the project identified at the Ocotillo Drive site, the proposed Plan would have to be adopted and wait 30 days for that approval. Responding to question, she confirmed the property is vacant and has been for several years. Director/Member Spiegel moved to waive further reading and adopt 1) Resolution No. SA -RDA 034, approving the Replacement Housing Plan for Adobe Villas, substantially as to form; 2) Resolution No. HA - 63. approving the Replacement Housing Plan for Adobe Villas, substantially as to form. Motion was seconded Hamik and carried by a 5-0 vote (AYES: Benson, Hamik, Spiegel, Weber, and Tanner, NOES: None). X. CONTINUED BUSINESS None XI. OLD BUSINESS None XII. PUBLIC HEARINGS None XIII.
