NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ANAHEIM HOUSING
AUTHORITY:
Section 1. The Authority Board finds and determines that the foregoing recitals are true
and correct and are a substantive part of this Resolution.
Section 2. The Authority Board hereby finds and determines, based on all
documentation, testimony and other evidence in the record before it, that (a) the proposed sale and
development of the Combined Site will assist in the elimination of blight by allowing a parcel (the
Site) constrained with infrastructure deficiencies to be combined with an adjacent contiguous parcel
and developed with a new, 54 -unit senior affordable rental housing project and (b) the consideration
being paid to the Authority is not less than the fair reuse value at the use and with the covenants and
conditions and development costs authorized by the Amended Letter.
Section 3. The Authority Board hereby approves the Amended Letter between the
Authority and IHO, with such changes as may be mutually agreed upon by the Authority Executive
Director (or his duly authorized representative), the City Attorney, and IHO, respectively, as are
minor and in substantial conformance with the form of the Amended Letter submitted herewith. The
Authority Board hereby further confirms its prior approval of the Relocation Plan for the Site. The
Authority Executive Director and the Authority Secretary/City Clerk are hereby authorized to
execute and attest the Amended Letter, and subsequently and subject to compliance with the
conditions set forth in the Amended Letter, an Affordable Housing Agreement and various
implementing documents (including a Ground Lease of the Combined Site), on behalf of Authority.
In such regard, the Authority Executive Director (or his duly authorized representative) is authorized
(a) to sign the final version of the Amended Letter after completion of any such non -substantive,
minor revisions, (b) to negotiate and execute the final versions of an Affordable Housing Agreement,
Ground Lease, and other instruments implementing the Project as set forth in the Amended Letter;
and (c) to modify or amend the Relocation Plan for the Project from time to time, as determined to be
appropriate by the Executive Director. Copies of the final form of the Amended Letter, when duly
executed and attested, shall be placed on file in the office of the City Clerk. Further, the Authority
Executive Director (or his duly authorized representative) is authorized to implement the Amended
Letter and take all further actions and execute all documents referenced therein and/or necessary and
appropriate to carry out the transaction contemplated by the Amended Letter. The Authority
Executive Director (or his duly authorized representative) is hereby authorized to the extent
necessary during the implementation of the Amended Letter to make technical or minor changes and
interpretations of the Amended Letter after execution, as necessary to properly implement and carry
11
out the Amended Letter, including all exhibits thereto, provided any and all such changes shall not in
any manner materially affect the rights and obligations of the Authority under the Amended Letter.
Section 4. In addition to the authorization of Section 3 above, the Authority
Executive Director is hereby authorized, on behalf of the Authority, to sign all other documents
necessary or appropriate to carry out and implement the Amended Letter, including causing the
issuance of warrants in implementation thereto, and to administer the Authority's obligations,

Section 5. As the "lead agency" under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public
Resources Code Section 21000, et seq.; herein referred to as "CEQA"), the Governing Board of the
Housing Authority hereby finds and determines that the proposed ground lease of the Combined Site
consists of the sale of surplus government property (a Class 12 Project) that will not cause a
significant effect on the environment and that the Agreement and the sale of the Combined Site
pursuant to the Amended Letter is therefore categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section
15312 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations. This finding is based on the Authority's
determination that (a) the Combined Site does not have significant values for wildlife habitat or other
environmental purposes, and (b) the Combined Site is of such size, shape, or inaccessibility that it is
incapable of independent development or use. The Governing Board of the Authority further
determines that the Project consists of an in -fill development project (a Class 32 Project) and is
therefore categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15332 of Title 14 of the California
Code of Regulations. This finding is based on the Authority's determination that (a) the Project is
consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as
well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations; (b) the proposed development occurs
within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses;
(c) the Project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species; (d) approval of
the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water
quality; and (e) the Combined Site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public
services.
Section 6. The Authority Secretary shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.

Re: Amended and Restated Preliminary Award Letter regarding Certain
Financial Assistance by the City of Anaheim and the Anaheim Housing
Authority, Including a Loan Sourced from HOME Program Funds and/or
Housing Asset Funds, Section 8 PBVs and Additional Subsidies, for the
Proposed Construction and Operation of a New Senior Affordable
Housing Project (54 Units) on a 1.10 -Acre Combined Site Located at 1248
East Lincoln Avenue and 1245 East Broadway, Anaheim, California
Dear Ms. Whitaker:
This Amended and Restated Preliminary Award Letter (this "Amended and Restated
Letter") amends, restates and supersedes the Preliminary Award Letter issued by the
Anaheim Housing Authority (the "Authority") to Innovative Housing Opportunities, Inc.,
a California nonprofit public benefit corporation ("IHO") on October 25, 2016 (the "Prior
Letter"), based on IHO's request subsequent to the date of the Prior Letter that the
Authority purchase the Site and the Remnant Parcel prior to the Closing (as those
terms are defined herein) in order to facilitate the development of the Project. This
Amended and Restated Letter will expire on October 1, 2019 (the "Letter Expiration
Date"), at which time the terms set forth herein will be null and void, provided that the
Executive Director of the Authority and the City's Community & Economic
Development Department (collectively, the "Executive Director") may choose to extend
such Letter Expiration Date in his/her sole and absolute discretion.
On behalf of IHO, you previously provided us a copy of that certain "Option to
Purchase Real Property' dated, entered into and executed on April 11, 2016 by and
among Parvatiben P. Patel, as owner, "Optionor" and potential seller (the "Seller"), and
Hament Patel, as "Operator" and lessee (the "Tenant"), and IHO, as "Optionee" and
potential buyer, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Option to Purchase
Real Property, dated July 14, 2016, that certain Second Amendment to Option to
Purchase Real Property, dated August 16, 2016, that certain Third Amendment to
Option to Purchase Real Property, dated August 16, 2016, and that certain Fourth
Amendment to Option to Purchase Real Property, dated October 20, 2016 (together,
the "Option Agreement"). Under the terms of the Option Agreement, IHO received an
option and rights to acquire that certain 1.01 -acre parcel of real property and all
improvements located at 1248 East Lincoln Avenue, Anaheim, California (collectively,
the "Site"). The Site is currently improved with and operated by the Tenant as a
twenty-eight (28) -room motel that is commonly referred to as the "Sandman Motel".

Pursuant to the Option Agreement, IHO and the Seller entered into a Purchase and
Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions dated February 6, 2017 (the "Site
Purchase Agreement"), a copy of which you provided to us. The Site Purchase
Agreement supersedes the Option Agreement. Under the Site Purchase Agreement,
IHO has agreed to purchase the Site for Two Million Seven Hundred Thousand and
No/100ths Dollars ($2,700,000.00). The Site Purchase Agreement requires IHO to
deposit Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($250,000.00), separate
from the purchase price, to be held in escrow (the "Escrow Deposit") to compensate
the Seller for restricting sale of the Site during the term of the Site Purchase
Agreement and option periods under the Option Agreement. The Site Purchase
Agreement additionally requires IHO to pay a monthly extension fee of Eight Thousand
and No/100ths Dollars ($8,000.00) (the "Extension Fee") out of the Escrow Deposit for
the duration of the escrow period, and to replenish amounts deducted from the Escrow
Deposit for such purpose prior to the close of escrow so that Two Hundred Fifty
Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($250,000.00) remains available for payment to the
Seller upon the close of escrow for the purchase of the Site. You have represented to
us that IHO has paid the Escrow Deposit to the Seller and that Forty Thousand and
No/100ths Dollars ($40,000.00) has been deducted from the Escrow Deposit for the
Extension Fee, as of the date hereof, such that a cumulative amount of Two Hundred
Ninety Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($290,000.00), due to the Seller upon the
close of escrow for the Site, has accrued as of the date hereof.
In connection .with the Site Purchase Agreement, IHO and the Operator also entered
into an All -Inclusive Settlement Agreement, dated as of February 7, 2017 (the
"Settlement Agreement"), under which IHO agreed to pay the Tenant Two Hundred
Two Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($202,000.00) to compensate the Tenant for
additional costs associated with the sale of the Site. The Settlement Agreement is
contingent upon the completion of the purchase of the Site by IHO. The overall
compensation to be paid by IHO to the Seller and the Tenant under the Site Purchase
Agreement and Settlement Agreement is Three Million One Hundred Fifty -Two
Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($3,152,000.00), plus any extension fees or other
amounts paid out of the Escrow Deposit which are not refundable under the Site
Purchase Agreement.
As referenced herein, the "Combined Site" includes the Site described in the Site
Purchase Agreement, and also includes an adjacent, unimproved approximately 0.09 -
acre parcel to the south of the Site, located at 1245 East Broadway, in the City of
Anaheim (collectively, the "Remnant Parcel"), which is owned by a third party,
Broadway Village Investors, a California Limited Partnership ("Broadway Village").
IHO and Broadway Village entered into that certain Agreement for Sale of Real
Property and Joint Escrow Instructions, dated May_, 2017 (the "Remnant Parcel
Purchase Agreement," and together with the Site Purchase Agreement, the "Purchase
Agreements"), pursuant to which IHO has the right to purchase the Remnant Parcel for
a purchase price of One Hundred Thousand and No/100ths Dollars ($100,000.00).

Both of the Purchase Agreements permit NO to assign its interests therein to the
Authority.
The Prior Letter provided that NO would receive certain financial assistance from the
Authority in connection with IHO's purchase and operation of the Combined Site. You
have informed us that NO now desires the Authority to consider purchasing the
Combined Site under the Purchase Agreements pursuant to an assignment thereof by
NO to the Authority. You have further indicated your understanding that, if the
Authority elects (in its sole and absolute discretion) to purchase the Combined Site,
subject to various conditions precedent described in this Amended and Restated
Letter, and ultimately in an Affordable Housing Agreement (the "Agreement"), NO may
thereafter enter into a ground lease and loan agreement with the Authority allowing
NO to demolish the existing structures and improvements, and then to construct and
operate on the Combined Site a new senior affordable housing development consisting
of fifty-four (54) apartment units and ancillary amenities and improvements for tenancy
and occupancy by income -eligible, qualifiedsenior citizen households at an affordable
rent (collectively, the "Project").
Acquisition of the Combined Site by the Authority
The Authority will consider accepting the assignment of one or both of the Purchase
Agreements, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Executive Director; however,
the following conditions precedent must be satisfied before the Authority will agree to
accept such assignment and purchase the Combined Site (or any portion thereof):
(i) The Executive Director determines, in his/her sole and absolute discretion, to
purchase the Combined Site; and
(ii) The Authority receives a title report for the Site and a title report for the
Remnant Parcel, and is satisfied with the condition of the title to the Site and the

Combined Site, and the Authority is satisfied with the title insurance company
selected and coverage to be provided; and
(iv) The Authority conducts an inspection of the physical condition of the Site and
the Remnant Parcel and determines such condition to be acceptable, in
Anaheim's sole and absolute discretion; and
(v) Anaheim conducts an evaluation of costs likely to be incurred pursuant to the
Relocation Laws (as defined below) as a result of the acquisition of the
Combined Site and Anaheim is satisfied with the results of such evaluation; and
(vi) Anaheim's obligations under California Government Code Section 7267 in
connection with the purchase of the Site and the Remnant Parcel have been

satisfied or waived in writing by the Seller and Broadway Village, respectively,
and Anaheim approves of the form of such written waivers in its sole and
absolute discretion.
If the conditions set forth above are met and the Combined Site is acquired by the
Authority, the Authority will possess fee title to such property and NO will have no
ownership or development rights with respect to the Combined Site or any portion
thereof, except as explicitly described herein.

the City its application for the Land Use Entitlement that includes: Senior Citizens'
Apartment Projects Ordinance Incentives, Density Bonus Ordinance Incentives, Zone

et seq. ("TCAC Regulations"), in particular Section 10325, albeit there is no intention to

Developer and Anaheim may negotiate and enter into the Agreement in
implementation of the award of Tax Credits and the Anaheim Assistance.
The Developer plans to make application to TCAC for an allocation and award of
9% Tax Credits in the second round 2017 application cycle, and if Tax Credits are not

Tax Credits are unsuccessful, the Authority will agree to allow one additional
application to TCAC for an allocation and award of either 9% or 4% Tax Credits;

note and secured by a single deed of trust against the Combined Site; or (B) as
a separate, third lien loan, -evidenced by a separate promissory note and
secured by a,separate, third -lien deed of trust against the Combined Site, but

IHO Responsibility for Compliance with Relocation Laws
IHO acknowledges and agrees that as of the date hereof, the parties have not
determined with certainty whether, if, and the extent of the applicability or triggering of
the following federal, state and local laws relating to the current and prior use and
operation of the Sandman Motel at the Site; but, nonetheless, should IHO purchase
the Site and/or the Remnant Parcel, IHO expressly, intentionally and knowingly agrees
that IHO shall cause compliance with each and all of the following laws and
regulations, as and if applicable, at its sole cost, expense, responsibility and liability
and that the Anaheim Assistance shall in no event be increased due to the
applicability, if at all, of any part or all parts of the following federal, state and local laws
and regulations:
(A) the State Relocation Assistance Law, California Government Code
Section 7260, et seq., ("CRAL") and the implementing regulations issued by the
California Department of Housing and Community Development ("HCD"), Code
of Regulations, Title 25, Division 1, Chapter 6, Section 6000, et seq. ("HCD
Guidelines," and together with CRAL, the "State Relocation Laws"); and
Patricia C. Whitaker, CEO

Page 18
(B) the federal relocation laws and regulations of the Uniform Relocation and Real
Property Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 4601, et seq. ("URA") and the
implementing regulations thereto in the Code of Federal Regulations, 49 CFR
Part 24, and the HOME Program, 24 CFR Parts 42, 91, 92, and 570, as well as
the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") Handbook
1378, which all implement the URA (collectively, the "Federal Relocation Laws,"
and together with the State Relocation Laws, the "Relocation Laws"); and
(C) the State Density Bonus Law, California Government Code Sections 65915,
et seq., in particular but not limited to, subsection (c)(3)(A) of Section 65915
and subsection (g) of Section 65915.5 that relate to replacement housing
obligations of IHO (and crossover with the City's Senior Citizens' Apartment
Projects Ordinance, Chapter 18.50 of the Anaheim Municipal Code.)
The Seller has represented and promised to IHO in the Option Agreement, and IHO
believes the Sandman Motel is currently, and has been in the past five (5) years,
operated exclusively as a commercial motel for transient guests, and each, any and all
motel guests who occupy rooms, or have occupied rooms, at the twenty-eight (28) -unit
motel do so, and have done so, solely on a transient basis for the past five years, i.e.,
guests for less than thirty (30) calendar days, and that no person(s) occupy(ies) or
consider(s) a motel room as his/her/their residence or has/have occupied a room or
rooms in the Sandman Motel for more than thirty (30) calendar days. Further, the Site
Purchase Agreement requires the Seller to pay the cost of compliance with the
Relocation Laws not included in the Settlement Agreement. Nonetheless, as a
material term hereunder and as set forth above, Anaheim requires, in the event that
IHO acquires the Site and/or the Remnant Parcel, that IHO represent, warrant, and
hereby assume all responsibility, legal and financial, for and covenant to Anaheim that
in the event any or all, or any parts thereof, of the above -listed Relocation and DBL
Laws apply or are triggered as to the Site and/or the Remnant Parcel, the Sandman
Motel, or the development of the Project thereon, then IHO expressly, knowingly and
intentionally assumes all risks, responsibilities and legal and financial obligations to
comply with and carry out and perform the obligations set forth in such Relocation and
DBL Laws hereinabove, with no legal or financial responsibility or liability whatsoever
to the City or the Authority. In this regard, IHO shall and hereby agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless and shall defend the City and the Authority and their elected and
appointed officials, officers, employees, agents, counsel and consultants (together,
"Indemnitees"), with counsel(s) reasonably satisfactory to the Authority and the City,
from and against all claims, damages, demands, actions, losses, liabilities, costs and
expenses, including, without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs
(together, "Claims"), arising from or relating in any manner to the Relocation and DBL
Laws, or any act or omission of IHO, the Seller, the Tenant, or any person, guest,
occupant or resident of the Combined Site or Sandman motel by this Amended and
Restated Letter, including any breach or default of IHO's obligations hereunder relating
to the Relocation and DBL Laws. IHO's obligations and indemnity relating to the
Relocation and DBL Laws shall survive the termination of this Amended and Restated
Patricia C. Whitaker, CEO
Innovative Housing Opportunities, Inc.
, 2017
Pack; 19
Letter. And, in the event there are any Claims asserted against IHO or any of the
Indemnitees, then IHO agrees to and shall immediately and unconditionally accept the
tender of defense of each and all Claims and if requested by Anaheim or its counsel
shall enter into a joint defense agreement that clarifies the foregoing and confirms
IHO's obligations hereunder, including without limitation the payment of all costs,
expenses and attorneys' fees of the Indemnitees arising from or relating to the
Relocation Laws.
Alternatively, if the Authority acquires the Site and/or the Remnant Parcel, the
Authority will take measures to ensure compliance with the legal obligations imposed
by the Relocation Laws with respect to such property owned by the Authority; however,
IHO agrees to assume financial responsibility for costs incurred by the Authority with
respect thereto, and the Anaheim Assistance will include the addition of such costs
incurred by the Authority to the principal amount of the Anaheim Loan as described
herein.
HOME Proaram Preliminary Award and No Commitment of HOME Proaram Funds
If the Anaheim Assistance is funded with HOME Program funds, by this Amended and
Restated Letter Anaheim intends to make a preliminary award to the Developer
pursuant to 24 CFR 92.504(c)(3) of the HOME Program, subject and pursuant to the
HAL and all other applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations.
Anaheim has made IHO aware of the 2013 HOME Final Rule, specifically including the
amendments to the definition of "commitment" in 24 CFR 92.2 that prohibits the City,
as a PJ and recipient of HOME Program funds and as transferor of such funds to the
Authority (and the Authority as transferee of HOME Program funds) from providing a
commitment (as the term is defined therein) of HOME Program funds to any specific
local project until "the [City] and project owner [the Developer] have executed a written
legally binding agreement under which HOME assistance will be provided to the owner
for an identifiable project for which all necessary financing has been secured, a budget
and schedule have been established,, and underwriting has been completed and under
which construction is scheduled to start within twelve months of the agreement date."
(Italics added.) Notwithstanding the definition of "commitment" in 24 CFR 92.2 as
amended by the 2013 HOME Final Rule, 24 CFR 92.504(c)(3) authorizes the City to
"preliminarily award HOME funds for a proposed project, contingent on conditions such
as obtaining other financing for the project" [italics added]; however, this section goes
on to clearly confirm that "[t]his preliminary award is not a commitment to a project.
The written agreement committing the HOME funds to the Project must meet the
requirements of 'commitment to a specific local project' in the definition of 'commitment'
in §24 CFR 92.2".
Thus, while as to the Anaheim Loan (if to be sourced from HOME Program funds), this
Amended and Restated Letter is not, and shall not be construed as a "commitment" of
HOME Program federal funds as defined under the HOME Program, Anaheim intends
Patricia C. Whitaker, CEO
Innovative Housing Opportunities, Inc.
2017
P 'a q X 10
that this Amended and Restated Letter evidence the Authority's preliminary award of
the Anaheim Loan, expressly subject to the conditions set forth in this Amended and
Restated Letter.
IHO's Project Proforma
The Anaheim Assistance has been evaluated and determined and this Amended and
Restated Letter is provided in material reliance and based on Anaheim's review of the
Developer's application for the Anaheim Assistance and its development proforma and
projected cash flows for the Project assuming the approval of a 9% Tax Credit
application submitted by IHO to Anaheim and dated as of April 28, 2017, and the
information provided by IHO to Anaheim (and its counsel and consultants) relating to
the use, ownership, operation, occupancy, guests, long-term occupants at the
Sandman Motel in particular relating to the past five (5) years' of operations by the
Tenant and/or the Seller.

authorized to implement the Agreement and take all further actions and
execute all documents referenced therein and/or necessary and appropriate
to carry out the transaction contemplated by this Amended and Restated

implementing agreements thereto. To the extent necessary during the
implementation hereof and thereof, the Executive Director is authorized to
make technical or minor changes and interpretations of this Amended and
Patricia C. Whitaker, CEO

Restated Letter and the Agreement, as necessary to properly implement

manner substantially affect Anaheim's rights and obligations under this
Amended and Restated Letter and the Agreement.
