STAFF REPORT
REQUEST: AUTHORIZE THE ACQUISITION OF APN 634 241 007
SUBMITTED BY: JESSICA GONZALES, MANAGEMENT ANALYST
DATE: NOVEMBER 16, 2006
CONTENTS: CERTIFICATE OF ACCEPTANCE OF DEED
Recommendation:
By Minute Motion,
1) Authorize the acquisition of 75-347 Kesley Circle South (APN 634 241 007)
for the purpose of retaining affordability covenants and resale if necessary
in anticipation of the expiration of the 60 day Right of Refusal period;
2) Approve a Silent Second Trust Deed in an amount necessary to secure an
affordable housing cost pursuant to Redevelopment Law for either a direct
sale or Agency sale; and
3) Authorize the Executive Director to execute any documents necessary to
facilitate this transaction. Funds are available in the Housing Set -Aside
Fund.
Executive Summary:
The Agency has the first right of refusal to purchase resales at Desert Rose in order to maintain
affordability covenants and resell the unit to another qualified buyer. If the Agency fails to execute
its option to purchase within a 60-day period, the homeowner can sell the house to a non -qualified
buyer and the Agency would lose its covenants on the property.
Discussion:
The Agency has the first right of refusal to purchase properties from owners in Desert Rose who
desire to sell. Staff desires to exercise the Agency's option to purchase in order to retain
affordability covenants in the event that it becomes necessary prior to the expiration of the 60-day
Right of Refusal to purchase period. This will allow for additional time to identify a low income
family to purchase the unit.
Staff will endeavor to qualify a buyer and have the sale negotiated directly between the seller and

new qualified buyer, however due to the qualification process it is not always feasible within the
time frame required.
The home was purchased on April 7, 2000, for the sale price of $84,000.00. There has been two
(2) owners and based on the formula for resale described in the Unit Regulatory Agreement, the
owner is authorized to sell the home for $101,892.00 plus commissions and reasonable closing
costs. The Agency has the right to purchase the properties for the same amount as the owners
are authorized to sell.
If it becomes necessary for the Agency to purchase the home to maintain affordability, a low or
moderate income family will be identified from an established waiting list and will purchase the
home directly from the Agency subject to the Public Hearing process.
In either event, it will be necessary for the Agency to provide a Second Trust Deed to a new buyer
in an amount necessary to secure an affordable housing cost in order for them to qualify to
purchase the home. The new buyer will be required to sign a new Unit Regulatory Agreement for
a covenant period of 30 years as prescribed in the Desert Rose Unit Regulatory Agreement.
Monies are available in the Agency's Housing Set -Aside Fund.
