OF THE ANAHEIM REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY approving a Cooperation
Agreement (Transfer of the Cherry Orchard Affordable Housing site) by and between
the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency and the Anaheim Housing Authority and
making certain findings in connection therewith.
Community Development Director Elisa Stipkovich reported Item No's. 7 and 8 were two
separate projects, each requiring actions by the three governing entities, the Agency, the City
Council and the Housing Authority. Item No. 7 referred to the Cherry Orchard project,
formerly the old Lincoln Inn site. The developer, UCH 000190 (designation reflecting a joint
venture between several different entities), was proposing an affordable housing project
requiring a ground lease on the site to enable application for a tax credit on June 9"'. 1=orty-
five family housing units for 30-60 percent area .median income families were planned with a
55-year ground lease and the developer would be required to pay 85 percent of any residual
receipts to the Housing Authority. Ms. Stipkovich added staff estimated the value of the tax
credit and should there be any deviation, recommended that up to six Section 8 project-
based housing vouchers be provided as well. She added that would be determined once a
full understanding of the cost of the project was established.
Ms. Stipkovich stated staff had recommended approval of the conveyance of the property
from the Agency to the Housing Authority through a cooperative agreement and approval of
an agreement between the Housing Authority and' the developer which would allow the
developer to submit for tax credit application.
Chairman Pringle opened the public hearing for comments.
Jimmy Gaston, Anaheim Supportive Housing for Senior Adults (ASHSA), thanked the
Agency members and staff for their patience and efforts over the last 10 years to work with
ASHSA to successfully pursue using the old Lincoln Inn site for low income family housing.
Mr. Fraser, ASHA, also commended the Agency Members for their continued commitment to
the Affordable Housing Strategic Plan.

Chairman Pringle pointed out the City had purchased the Lincoln Inn to be able to provide
the land for development of 45 affordable housing units. Ms. Stipkovich confirmed the City's
cost for acquisition, demolition and relocation for the project totaled $6.8 million with the
potential of additional funding for six Section 8-based housing vouchers.
Agency Member Kring moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. ARA 2009-003 OF THE
ANAHEIM REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY approving a Cooperation Agreement (Transfer of
the Cherry Orchard Affordable Housing site) by and between the Anaheim Redevelopment
Agency and the Anaheim Housing Authority and making certain findings in connection
therewith, seconded by Agency Member Sidhu. Roll Call Vote: Ayes - 5: Chairman Pringle
and Agency Members: Galloway, Hemandez, Kring and Sidhu. Noes - 0. Motion Carried.

RESOLUTION NO. ARA 2009-004 RESOLUTION OF THE GOVERNING BOARD
OF THE ANAHEIM REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY approving a Cooperation
Agreement by and between the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency and the Anaheim
Housing Authority and making certain findings in connection therewith.
Elisa Stipkovich, Community Development Director, remarked this item was also a joint
public hearing to consider approval of certain agreements transferring ownership of property
on Manchester Avenue to provide 119 units of affordable housing. Each governing entity,
she explained, would approve the transfer of the property from the Agency to the Housing
Authority as well as an affordable housing agreement between the Housing Authority and
SADI, Inc., the developer. This project, she stated, was similar to the Cherry Orchard project
with along-term ground lease with 85 percent of the residual receipts coming back to the
Housing Authority. She added in this case, staff was recommending providing up to 78
project-based vouchers, if necessary, to close the financing gap pending the final cost and
the final value of the tax credits the developer eventually received. In answer to Chairman
Pringle's question, Ms. Stipkovich indicated the City subsidy so far was $4.6 million for land
acquisition and demolition. She noted another item on this agenda, Item 24, was for
vacation of the old Manchester road and if approved, the City would be dedicating that land
to this project as well. With the 78 project based units included, the additional subsidy could
be $5 to $6 million more.
Chairman Pringle opened the public hearing for comments and receiving none, closed the
hearing. He then inquired if there was a requirement to use prevailing wages on these
projects with Ms. Stipkovich indicating when federal monies were involved, that would trigger
the Davis Bacon act for paying workers on site no less than locally prevailing wages and
benefits paid on similar projects.
Agency Member Kring moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. ARA 2009-004 OF THE
ANAHEIM REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY approving a Cooperation Agreement by and
between the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency and the Anaheim Housing Authority and
.making certain findings in connection therewith, seconded by Agency Member Hemandez.
Roll Call Vote: Ayes - 5: Chairman Pringle and Agency Members: Galloway, Hemandez,
Kring and Sidhu. Noes - 0. Motion Carried.
