PUBLIC HEARING: (in joint session with the Anaheim City Council)
2. This is a joint public hearing of the Anaheim Housing Authority and the Anaheim City
Council to consider resolutions regarding a Disposition and Development Agreement by
and between the Anaheim Housing Authority and Olson Urban Housing, LLC, regarding
certain real property generally located at 2415 S. Manchester Avenue for the
AGR-8818 development of a for-sale townhome development.
RESOLUTION NO. AHA 2015-002 A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM HOUSING
AUTHORITY approving a Disposition and Development Agreement between the
Anaheim Housing Authority and Olson Urban Housing, LLC, substantially in the form
attached to the resolution; authorizing the Executive Director to negotiate the terms of
and finalize such Disposition and Development Agreement; authorizing the Executive
Director to implement such Disposition and Development Agreement; and making
certain other findings in connection therewith.
John Woodhead, Community Development Executive Director, explained that when the Housing
Authority disposes of real property it is required to hold a joint public hearing with the City
Council to hear public comment before taking any action. He provided historical information that
the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency acquired approximately 24,000 square feet of Caltrans
parcel in June 2006 located at 2415 S. Manchester Avenue. Upon the June 2011 dissolution of
the Redevelopment Agency, the City Council elected to be the Successor Agency, but declined
to be the successor of the housing assets and functions of the Redevelopment Agency; the
Housing Authority elected to be successor of housing functions. In June 2012, the Successor
Agency transferred this and other housing sites to the Housing Authority which has been
approved by state audit. Mr. Woodhead described the site as constrained by infrastructure
deficiencies such as sewer, water, storm drain, and electrical connections making it difficult to
develop. He announced Olson Urban Housing had entered into a purchase and sale agreement
with the owner of the property directly north of this site for the development of a for-sale
townhome development and wishes to incorporate this site into their project. The Housing
Authority is proposing to sell the site to the developer pursuant to a Disposition and
Development Agreement and to use the proceeds of the sale for the development of affordable
housing at another location. The developer would pay fair market value of$430,000 based on
an independent appraisal, over the net cost to the Agency of$277,000 in its initial acquisition of
the property and subsequent maintenance and managing of the site.
Chairman Tait opened the public hearing. Hearing no public comment, Chairman Tait closed
the public hearing.
DISCUSSION: Authority Member Vanderbilt questioned if the constraints on the property
existed at the time of its purchase and what the initial plans were for using the property with Mr.
Woodhead responding that housing funds were used for the acquisition as a housing use was
anticipated. He added that the property was acquired with a number of Caltrans remnant
parcels that the Redevelopment Agency hoped to aggregate with other sites wherever possible
to effectively reuse them for housing purposes.
Authority Member Kring moved to approve RESOLUTION NO. AHA 2015-002 A
RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM HOUSING AUTHORITY approving a Disposition and
Development Agreement between the Anaheim Housing Authority and Olson Urban Housing,
LLC, substantially in the form attached to the resolution; authorizing the Executive Director to
negotiate the terms of and finalize such Disposition and Development Agreement; authorizing
the Executive Director to implement such Disposition and Development Agreement; and making
certain other findings in connection therewith, seconded by Authority Member Murray.
