PUBLIC HEARING:
3. This is a public hearing to consider Amendment No. 4 to Affordable Housing
Agreement with UHC 00190 Anaheim, L.P., for The Crossings at Cherry Orchard
AG R- 3886.11.4 project located at 2748 W. Lincoln Avenue.
Approve and authorize the Authority Executive Director to execute and
administer Amendment No. 4 to Affordable Housing Agreement, in substantial
form, with UHC 00190 Anaheim, L.P., for The Crossings at Cherry Orchard
project located at 2748 W. Lincoln Avenue.
John Woodhead, Acting Executive Director, reported the Housing Authority had
approved an Affordable Housing Agreement with UHC 00190, Anaheim LP to develop
the Old Lincoln Inn site as 45 multi - family rental units for low income families. Under the
terms of that agreement, he stated, the developer was required to submit an application
for nine percent Tax Credits to finance the project and in return, the agreement provided
for a ground lease of the site to the developer for 55 years. After the developer
unsuccessfully sought the nine percent Tax Credits, Mr. Woodhead explained, the
Agreement was later amended to require UHC seek four percent Tax Credits, and in
conjunction with that, MHP financing for the loan. As the developer was in the process
of submitting application for the four percent Tax Credits, they were notified that the
terms of the loan had to be increased to 65 years. Mr. Woodhead added this
amendment before Council increased the term of the ground lease from 55 to 65 years,
to comply with requirements of the MHP financing and would result in the Housing
Authority receiving an additional $1.5 million in revenue over the term of the ground
lease.
