By Minute Motion, that the Agency Board:
Authorize the City Clerk to publish a Notice Inviting Sealed Bids for
deconstruction of Sagecrest Apartments at 73-775 Santa Rosa Way and
deconstruction of 73-805 Santa Rosa Way.
Executive Summary
Approval of staff's recommendation will authorize staff to publish a Notice Inviting Sealed Bids
for deconstruction of Sagecrest Apartments located at 73-775 Santa Rosa Way (APN 627-122-
013) and the adjoining residential property at 73-805 Santa Rosa Way (APN 627-122-003). The
subject properties are zoned R-2 (Single Family Residential with Senior Housing Overlay
District). The properties are adjacent to Sagecrest Senior apartment complex. The
deconstruction will provide environmentally friendly removal of the existing buildings.
Background
Sagecrest Apartments: This property is located at 73-775 Santa Rosa Way (APN 627-122-
013) on the southeast corner of San Pascual Avenue and Santa Rosa Way. The property is
adjacent to Sagecrest Senior apartment complex and is in close proximity to Joslyn Senior
Center, Catalina Pueblos Community Room, and other Housing Authority Properties. The parcel
is zoned R-2 for Single Family Residential developed with a maximum density of one unit per
4000 square feet of land area with additional density if restricted to senior housing.
The site is 55,076 square feet (1.26 acres) in land area and is improved with a 14 unit
apartment complex comprised of five individual buildings of wood frame/stucco construction.
The unit mix includes one 1-bedroom/1-bathroom unit, twelve 2-bedroom/2-bathroom units, and
one 2-bedroom/1-bathroom unit. The buildings total 13,384 square feet and were originally

constructed in the 1970's. Common area on -site improvements include: swimming pool, carport
structures, garage structure, laundry room, trash enclosures and concrete block walls. The
property is currently vacant and the overall condition of the subject improvements is dilapidated.
On January 10, 2008, the Agency Board approved the acquisition of the subject property and
reimbursement to the Agency using Housing Set -Aside funds if it is determined that the property
qualifies as low/moderate affordable housing. The property's present condition would require
significant improvements to bring the property up to current code requirements.
An assessment of the existing facilities was performed by Prest-Vuksic Architects who identified
numerous areas of concern as follows:
• Inadequate site drainage resulting in ponding and exterior wall penetration.
• Handicapped parking and site accessibility do not meet ADA standards
• The interiors of the units do not conform to ADA standards
• The mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems all require major work to meet current
standards
• Exterior electrical systems and lighting fixtures are required for adequate site lighting
• The irrigation systems and landscaping need to be replaced with water efficient irrigation
and drought tolerant landscaping
• Some exterior walls require framing replacement including stucco and drywall due to
water penetration from sprinklers
• The existing flat roofs require replacement roofing
• Windows and sliding doors require replacing with energy -efficient units as well as
replacement of cabinets, doors, sinks, toilets, etc. and all interior fixtures and finishes
In addition, the configuration of the buildings is poorly planned for site utilization. Removal of the
existing improvements will provide a vacant lot of approximately 55,076 square feet that is
suitable for development of future low/moderate affordable housing. An environmental site
assessment has been completed of the subject property and there are no known onsite
conditions that would limit future development.
73-805 Santa Rosa Way: This residential property (APN 627-122-003) is located adjacent to
Sagecrest Apartments and Sagecrest Senior apartment complex and is also in proximity to
Joslyn Senior Center, Catalina/Pueblos Community Room, and other Housing Authority
Properties. The subject property consists of a 6,969 square foot parcel with a 1,134 square foot
residence, attached carport, and pool. The parcel is zoned R-2 for single family residential
development with a maximum density of one unit per 4000 square feet of land area with
additional density if restricted to senior housing.
On January 8, 2009, the Agency Board approval the acquisition of the subject property using
Housing Set -Aside funds. The property's present condition would require significant
improvements to bring the property up to current code requirements. Removal of the existing
improvements will provide a vacant lot of 6,969 square feet which can be combined into a larger
parcel with the Sagecrest Apartments site totaling 62,045 square feet (1.42 acres) allowing
flexibility in future site planning of up to 39 units.
Asbestos and lead -containing paint/ceramic tile inspections will be completed and the

recommendations will be performed during deconstruction. The deconstruction will provide for
environmentally friendly removal of the improvements from the two parcels and clearing of the
sites including:
• The removal of hazardous material
• The recycling/reuse of building materials with a goal of 100% diversion from the landfill
of inert waste and 75% of all other building and site components waste
• The removal and green wasting of landscaping.
• Rough grading and soil stabilization to prepare the site for future construction.
Therefore, staff recommends that the Agency Board authorize the City Clerk to publish a Notice
Inviting Sealed Bids for deconstruction of Sagecrest Apartments located at 73-775 Santa Rosa
Way and deconstruction of 73-805 Santa Rosa Way.
Fiscal Analvsis
The estimated cost of this project is $150,000 that has been considered and projected within the
overall cost of deconstruction and design of future development of the combined sites.
Deconstruction of the properties will save the Agency approximately $3,000 annually in
maintenance expenses. Funds are available for this project in Account Number 871-8690-466-
4001. There will be no impact on the General Fund.
