A Joint Public Hearing to consider approving a Disposition and Development Agreement ARA with Brookfield Olive Street LLC. RESOLUTION NO. ARA-2006-001 RESOLUTION OF THE GOVERNING BOARD OF THE ANAHEIM REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY approving a Disposition and Development Agreement with Brookfield Olive Street LLC and making certain findings in connection therewith. Elisa Stipkovich, Community Services Director, provided background on the Disposition and Development agreement with Brookfield Olive Street LLC remarking staff had been working on this project for some time. She explained the Agency had authorized staff to enter into a Purchase and Sale agreement with the owner of the 18.3 acre industrial property at the northeast corner of Olive and South Streets as the developer had requested assistance from the Agency in acquiring the site. The developer was also acquiring two more acres for the 339 condominium housing project of which 10 percent or 34 units were to be affordable moderate income condominiums. She stated the Agency was purchasing the site from an institutional owner for $36 million at fair market price and would be selling it to the Brookfield Olive Street LLC for the same cost less the public street and park which would be retained and then conveyed to the City. She noted the City would be receiving over $15 million in property tax over a 30-year period from this project with $4.3 million going towards affordable housing setaside funds. In addition, if the developer sold the units for more than the estimates in the pro forma and as long as costs remained the same, the City would receive 25 percent of any increase in revenue. She also indicated the Agency would provide for a minimum of $750,000 to be used for down payment assistance for the 34 affordable moderate income units. Chairman Pringle confirmed with staff that the developer had requested the City's assistance in purchasing the site due to a variety of timing issues and that the City was now selling the property back to the developer for the same price less the public improvements; Ms. Stipkovich concurred, remarking that the developer had also requested acquisition of the site in two phases to which the City agreed, necessitating a short term loan with Phase 2 closing in 12 months. Agency Member Sidhu emphasized this property was not being acquired through eminent domain but was being sold on a friendly basis and commented the project would be a great improvement of a former industrial site for the citizens of Anaheim. Chairman Pringle opened the public hearing and receiving no comments, closed the hearing. Agency Member Sidhu moved to approve the Resolution of the Governing Board of the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency approving a Disposition and Development Agreement with Brookfield Olive Street LLC and making certain findings in connection therewith, seconded by Agency Member Chavez.
