JOINT PUBLIC HEARINGS:
1. This is a joint public hearing among the Redevelopment Agency, Housing Authority
AGR -5811 and City Council to transfer property located at 1272 E. Lincoln Avenue from the
AGR- 4706.1 Anaheim Housing Authority to the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency and to approve
the sale of this property to Taormina Family Capital Fund, LLC.
Housing Authority Action:
Approve and authorize the Authority Executive Director to execute Amendment No. 1
to the Cooperation Agreement (Transfer of Multiple Redevelopment Agency Housing
Parcels) with the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency to transfer property located at
1272 E. Lincoln Avenue from the Housing Authority to the Agency.
Elisa Stipkovich, Executive Director of Community Development, reported this joint public
hearing was to consider the disposition of property currently held by the Anaheim Housing
Authority for intended use as an affordable housing site. As the Authority was unable to
acquire additional property for a sufficiently large parcel to develop the site, staff
recommended the Housing Authority transfer 1272 East Lincoln Avenue back to the
Redevelopment Agency which had funded the property acquisition. Staff also recommended
that the Redevelopment Agency then sell the property to Taormina Family Capital Fund as
they were the adjacent property owner on both sides of this parcel and had offered fair
market value. She noted there would be a requirement for the owner to consolidate his
parcels into one and such deed restriction indicating that requirement would be placed on the
property. The developer would also be required to continue to lease the site to the Anaheim
Police Athletic League while the parcel was still being considered for future development.
Ms. Stipkovich explained the Taormina Family Capital Fund had offered $675,000 for the
property and that based on the City's own independent appraisal, it had been determined this

offer was fair market value. She added the City had purchased the property for $528,000
and would receive net revenue to the Agency set -aside funds of $147,000 with this action.
Authority Member Galloway asked what would happen to the property once it was sold. Bill
Taormina, developer, indicated the objective for the property was to build the Anaheim
Resort Village apartments as an affordable housing project. In addition, a shuttle system to
and from the Anaheim Resort for employees would be provided, an English language training
center would be established as well as a Boys and Girls Club annex, and a large swimming
pool and recreation area would be built on the Agency -owned land. He indicated this would
be a multi -story, high density, affordable housing project and he hoped financing would be
available within three to five years.
With no other comments offered, Chairman Pringle closed the public hearing.
Authority Member Hernandez moved to approve and authorize the Housing Authority
Executive Director to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Cooperation Agreement (Transfer of
Multiple Redevelopment Agency Housing Parcels) with the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency
to transfer property located at 1272 E. Lincoln Avenue from the Housing Authority to the
Agency, seconded by Authority Member Kring. Roll Call Vote: Ayes 5: Chairman Pringle
and Authority Members: Galloway, Hernandez, Kring and Sidhu. Noes 0. Motion Carried.
2. This is a joint public hearing between the Redevelopment Agency and the Housing
AGR- 4949.1 Authority to approve an Amended and Restated Affordable Housing Agreement with
Jamboree Greenleaf, L.P. for the property located at the intersection of Greenleaf and
Glenoaks Avenue.
Housing Authority Action:
Approve and authorize the Authority Executive Director to execute an Amended and
Restated Affordable Housing Agreement with the Redevelopment Agency and
Jamboree Greenleaf, L.P.
Elisa Stipkovich, Executive Director of Community Development, reported this item was also
a joint public hearing for the disposition of property located at the intersection of Greenleaf
and Glenoaks Avenue. In September of 2007, the Agency approved an agreement with the
developer for an affordable housing ground lease which subsequently was not able to be
funded through tax credits. In June of 2009, staff returned with a 20 -unit project to be
developed by Jamboree as well as an affordable housing agreement.
The Amended and Restated Affordable Housing Agreement now before the Housing
Authority for consideration reflected terms that were previously approved in June 2009. She
noted the developer submitted an application for tax credit allocation and this agreement
would formalize the fact they were going to develop 20 units on the site using a ground lease
with an 85/15 percent split of proceeds and also that the Agency would provide up to
$480,000 in an Agency loan. That agency loan would be paid back on a priority basis after
any deferred developer fee and was reflected in a separate cash flow from the ground lease.
She added the Agency would receive 100 percent of the proceeds to pay back the Agency
loan and after that loan payout had been completed, the residual receipt split would begin.
