Director to implement such Purchase and Sale Agreement; and making certain other
findings in connection therewith.
John Woodhead, Director of Community Development, reported this was a joint public hearing
for both the City Council and the Housing Authority to consider the purchase of two Housing
Authority properties by the City of Anaheim followed by authorization of the sale of those two
properties along with two other former Redevelopment Agency (RDA) properties to Lab
Holdings LLC.
As background, he explained the Dissolution Law (AB X126) dissolved all redevelopment
agencies in the state of California, effective February 1, 2012. Prior to that date, the City of
Anaheim became the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency to administer the
dissolution and winding down of the Agency matters, but declined to retain the housing assets
and functions and instead, assets were transferred to the Housing Authority. Mr. Woodhead
added while the Housing Authority was permitted to manage all assets it received from the
former Redevelopment Agency, the Successor Agency was not able to do so until the California
Department of Finance (DOF) approved the City's long range Property Management Plan.
That plan listed about 100 acres of Successor Agency property as either a governmental use
property for transfer to the appropriate governmental user or 1) a property to be transferred to
the city for disposition and development per the Redevelopment Plan or 2) a property to be sold
without regard to development. He pointed out although Anaheim was one of the first
successor agencies to submit its Property Management Plan to the state (about three years
ago); the Department of Finance had only approved the plan on December 31, 2015, the last
day in which the DOF was required to act. During this waiting period, he pointed out staff
continued to work with several development partners who had already invested time and money
for potential prjactoandtheO(spositionand []ewe|oprnentAunaernentbetmaentheCityGnd
Lab Holding LLC was now before the City Council for consideration. He added it was one of the
first in a series of pending prjects that would be brought to the City Council for consideration.
The proposed Disposition and Development Agreement provided for the sale of four
development sites at fair market value and the private development of commercial and mixed
use prjecta. Thedave|opmentavvuu|dedduniquemndauthenbcContenttoCenterCityAnaheim
to build on the success of the Packing District, Center Street and new urban residential
communities. Mr. Woodhead indicated two of the development sites were housing assets
transferred to the Housing Authority under the dissolution law and given the changes in the law
and the loss of significant resources related to affordable housing, the Housing Authority
properties were no longer viable for development of the for-sale units originally planned for
those sites. Consequently, the Housing Authority intended to sell these properties to the city for
fair market value per the purchase and sale agreement that was before both entities for
consideration and place the proceeds into the low to moderate income housing fund consistent
with state law.
Mr. Woodhead indicated that the proposed development would be completed by June 2019
under the terms of the Disposition and Development Agreement. The locations of the four
projects were: 1) the Packing District and Make building (involving existing deve|opment,
completion of the historic building at Santa Ana/Anaheim for additional craft brewing and wine
production), and two additional restaurants at Farmer's Park; 2) the BARN at Center
Street/Lemon (with unique mixed residential, restaurant, etc.); 3) HomeMade consisting of live-
work environment for culinary businesses; and 4) The Barrel Building at Anaheim/Water with
historic preservation and commercial content and residential.

He reported the net proceeds from the sale of the Housing Authority properties would reimburse
the Housing Authority as per the Purchase and Sale Agreement.
Authority Member Vanderbilt recalled that last year a presentation was given on all the projects
the Department was considering, inquiring what the plans were for Beach Boulevard in
particular and the other areas of focus.
Mr. Woodhead responded that staff had continued to work with the original developer for Beach
Boulevard, the Lincoln Zelman Group, and had recently given them new appraised values
needed for the Property Management Plan that was just approved by the state. The firm was
looking at those numbers to ensure the development they had proposed was still viable. Mr.
Woodhead advised at this point, he had not heard any negative responses and intended to
bring that proposal in February or March of this year. The proposal would be considered along
with other deals with partners who had long-awaited the DOF's plan approval.
Chairman Tait opened the public hearing for comments and receiving none, closed the hearing.
