Uberuaga, Executive � vim - ------ Prepared by: Barbara A. Kaiser, Deputy City Administrator/Economic Development Subject: EXCLUSIVE NEGOTIATING AGREEMENT --HABITAT FOR HUMANITY ,APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL Consistent with Council Policy? [ ] Yes [ ] New Policy or Exception „ y -"� "— 19 Statement of Issue, Recommendation, Analysis, Funding Source, Alterna ive Act' ns, AttachmentwlY c:,-t', A previous water well site on Ronald Road has been identified as a potential affordable housing site. The attached Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA) provides one year for the Redevelopment Agency to negotiate with Habitat for Humanity as a housing sponsor on this site. RECOMMENDATION: Approve and authorize the appropriate Agency officers to execute the attached Exclusive Negotiating Agreement by and between the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Huntington Beach and Habitat for Humanity of Orange County, Inc. ANALYSIS: The city currently owns a previous water well site on the south side of Ronald Road, west of Beach Boulevard between Talbert and Slater. The site is of 9,072 square feet and may accommodate 2-4 units. The water well has been abandoned for a number of years and while no contamination is suspected, a Phase I investigation is underway. The Redevelopment Committee has recommended proceeding with an affordable housing project on this site and acknowledged involvement of Habitat for Humanity. a E RAA ED 93-29 September 20, 1993 Page two The Planning Commission recently found this use consistent with the General Plan, a procedural step necessary prior to conveying the property from the City to the Redevelopment Agency. Habitat for Humanity is a national non-profit organization which pursues construction of ownership housing for low and very low income households in a unique program of "sweat equity." Through this program families assist with the actual construction of their home in lieu of or in addition to a cash down payment. Furthermore, Habitat works on a strictly voluntary basis procuring architectural, legal and other services at no cost and also soliciting donations of building materials to further reduce the actual cost of producing the units. It is a unique and innovative program and one of the few which offers the opportunity for home ownership by low and very low income households. The attached ENA is between the Redevelopment Agency and Habitat for Humanity of Orange County, Inc., an affiliate of the national organization. Orange County Habitat is a 50](C)3 non- profit corporation organized under the laws of the state of California. It is governed by a 30 member Board of Directors which meets monthly. A description of the committees and subcommittees of the Orange County organization is included as Attachment No. 1. Habitat has been active in Orange County in the cities of Santa Ana, Anaheim, Brea and Rancho Santa Margarita (a list of projects in these cities is Attachment No. 2). A description of, the program and criteria for partner families is included as Attachment No. 3. The Articles of Incorporation and latest audited financials for Habitat of Orange County are on file. The proposed ENA is for a term of one year. While this is a longer term than other ENA's to which the Redevelopment Agency has been a party, owing to the all volunteer labor force of Habitat a longer period of time may be necessary to reach agreement on a Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA). Of course if preliminary planning for the project has been completed and negotiations are successful, a DDA may be entered into prior to the expiration of the ENA. The Ronald Road site was appraised at $182,000 in 1989 and it is intended that the Redevelopment Agency purchase this site for that price from the city with the use of housing set - aside funds. To meet Habitat's objective of providing home ownership of low and very low income households, it is likely that the future DDA will call for the Agency to provide the site to Habitat at no cost. A memorandum from Habitat's legal counsel outlining issues to be addressed in the DDA is included as Attachment No. 4 and outlines Habitat's expectations of the DDA which include: 1) donation of the site; 2) no environmental clean-up responsibility; 3) provision of all off -sites; and 4) payment of all fees. It is anticipated that these steps will be required to assure affordability to Habitat's low-income clients --however, if environmental remediation costs lJ RAA ED 93-29 September 20, 1993 Page three prove excessive, the Agency will have the right to terminate the DDA. Attachment No. 7 summarizes the Agency's housing obligations (as shown in the Agency Housing Policy). If constructed, the Habitat units could count toward replacement housing obligations from any project area. However, since it is located outsid a project area units can not count toward the larger need for production units within project areas. DING UR E• Redevelopment Housing Set -Aside Funds.

Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit. international ecumenical Christian housing ministry m dedicated to eliminating e poverty housing from the o world. Habitat helps A responsible. low-income families build and purchase homes with interest -free mortgages. Orange County's Challenge wning a home is much more than a financial commitment U It represents a commitment to a community. family values, and a responsible lifestyle —the r' ideal we call the American ° Dream. But despite our c general affluence in Orange * County. soaring costs have u eliminated the hope of ever owning a home for many hardworking families. Habitat e for Humanity of Orange County is working to restore that hope. Habitat is Partners with the City of Brea he Brea project was prompted in part by a city -sponsored study which revealed a crises in affordable house within the community. As a result the city set a goal of creating 150 affordable homes per ayear for the next ten years. The Habitat program offers communities like Brea a G s workable opportunity to provide decent homes for its citizens -working with the city, Habitat has developed initial plans to build four homes, at Flower Avenue and Ash Street. The homes will be s stacked flat condominiums with 1100-1200 square feet, three to four bedrooms and two baths each. Once this project is underway, e Habitat, in cooperation with the city of Brea, plans to build 29 additional homes in the area. a To meet this challenge Habitat for Humanity has been working with the city for nearly two years to select and purchase a site. develop plans and move ahead with the government planning process. Local corporations have joined in the effort. Union Federal • Bank has pledged financial support through Habitat's Adopt -a- s House program, the Fieldstone Company is supplying professional construction supervision, and the Fieldstone Foundation has committed $10,000 towards lumber, drywall and other materials However, before construction can actually begin. Habitat must have u at least 50% of the funds required to build the first four homes o (5160.000) in hand. In addition, a massive volunteer effort among a the Habitat families. community volunteers and subcontractors must be coordinated. Through this effort most of the labor and materials needed to build the homes will be supplied either free of charge or at reduced cost. The only way Habitat can succeed in Brea e is through corporate. political and individual support. • Solutions Begin with Investments that Last a Lifetime abitat for Humanity is as much an economic solution as it is a housing solution. It teaches economic responsibility, capitalizes on initiative and benefits from a partnership between those who are willing to fund the dream and those who are willing to work for it.

These issues were not negotiated into the text of the ENA for two reasons: first, the ENA is not really designed to accommodate these issues, they are more appropriate for the Development and Disposition Agreement ("DDA"), and second, in our preliminary meetings the Agency has shown considerable flexibility with respect to these issues and has evidenced a desire to expedite the project by accessing available affordable housing revenue sources. Having said that, the project team still believes that the Agency, the City and HHOC must be in substantial agreement on a number of issues before embarking on the DDA negotiation process and desires to set forth in more detail the IIHOC position on these issues for review and comment by the Agency and the City. The necessary allocation of time and resources by all parties in preparing and reviewing site plans, negotiating documents and attending meetings, as well as the timing of fundraising matters, requires general consensus by the parties on a non -binding "term sheet" to serve as a blueprint for the DDA. The major issues for HIIOC as identified by the project team are as follows- 1. Contribution of Land. The Agency and/or the City must be prepared to transfer the land necessary for the project in a developable state at no cost to 11140C. The foregoing requirement means that HHOC shall have no responsibility for escrow, title, documentary transfer taxes, environmental remediation, water well abandonment andlor removal or any other cost or expense associated with the initial transfer of the land to HHOC. HIIOC shall be responsible for normal and customary "seller" costs upon subsequent transfers to homeowners. 2, Qffsite Improvements. Neither HHOC nor any project homeowner shall be responsible for construction of any offsite improvements required by any governmental agency in connection with the project, nor shall any homeowner be required to pay any assessments or taxes based upon any offsite improvement required as a condition to development of the project. 3. Processing Costs, Permit Fees_ HHOC shall not be responsible for payment of any fee, cost or expense imposed by the City, the Agency or any governmental agency in connection with the processing of the necessary project approvals, including, without limitation, discretionary application fees, plan check fees, grading and building permit fees, inspection fees, school fees, transportation fees, utility company installation fees and/or deposits and the like. It is expected that such fees will be waived wherever possible by the City and the Agency, and where waiver is not available that the City and/or the Agency will arrange for payment of such fees, costs or expenses (subject to possible reimbursement from revenue sources described in Section 7 below). 4. Technical Assistance. The City shall offer information and reasonable technical assistance to the HHOC project team and consultants on an as -requested basis in connection with site plans, engineering drawings, architectural plans, required zoning variances and other project related matters- S. Second Deed of Trust. it is anticipated that the Agency and/or the City will include all otherwise unreimbursed costs incurred by them in connection with the project in a "silent" second deed of trust against the project units, with no debt service or principal payments unless a transfer occurs outside of the affordability standards established with respect to the project. 6. Family Selection Process. HHOC shall be responsible for and shall retain exclusive control over the family selection process in accordance with HHOC's established goals and criteria; provided that the Agency and/or the City may designate one or more individuals to attend and participate in Family Selection Committee meetings 7. Communes Development Block Grant Funds. The Agency and the City have indicated their willingness to apply for Community Development Block Grant Funds and/or similar federal, state or local governmental revenue sources for the project. Both parties acknowledge that if such proffered financial assistance is not available, HIIOC's ability to proceed with the project may be substantially impaired or delayed until other funds are raised- All parties must agree to provide information and assistance to each other to enhance and accelerate the receipt of such funding. The City and/or the Agency (as appropriate) shall agree to diligently apply for and take all reasonable steps to secure such funding for the project- In the event project funding is received from any of the above described revenue sources, HHOC must have the right to review and approve any and all conditions imposed to acceptance of such funding source to ensure consistency with its charter and its established goals and policies. 8. Environmental Matters- As set forth in the ENA, the Agency and/or the City shall be responsible for the cost of a Phase I Environmental Report on the project site to be completed prior to execution of the DDA. The DDA shall contain language pursuant to which IIHOC shall be indemnified by the Agency and the City for any claims asserted against H140C under any federal or state environmental legislation which claims are based on site conditions in existence prior to the transfer of the project site to }IHOC- The foregoing items should be circulated to the appropriate personnel at the Agency and the City to determine if there are any matters which are unacceptable to either or both entities prior to submittal of the ENA for execution by HHOC.
