COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Action Item
Approved for January 11, 2022 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff has negotiated and is bringing forth the terms of an Affordable Housing Agreement and Ground Lease by and between the Housing Authority of the City of Glendale (“Housing Authority”) and 900 E Broadway, L.P., a California Limited Partnership created by Meta Housing Corporation (“Meta”). Staff has also negotiated and is bringing forth the terms of an Easement Purchase Contract between the Housing Authority, 900 E Broadway, L.P. and Harrower Village, L.P., a California Limited Partnership created by Abode Communities (“Abode”), developer for 912, 920 E.

Broadway and 117 S. Belmont Street (collectively, “920 E. Broadway”).

The Affordable Housing Agreement, Ground Lease and Easement Purchase Contract support Citrus Crossing, a 100% affordable, 127-unit rental, senior housing project located at 900 E. Broadway. In September 2021, Meta was able to secure 4% low income housing tax credits (“4% Tax Credits”) from the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (“CTCAC”). With an award of 4% Tax Credits, the Housing Authority may now commit $1.8 million in HOME funds and deallocate an equal amount of Measure S funds as part of the approval of the Affordable Housing Agreement. 4 of 422

COUNCIL PRIORITIES
Balanced, Quality Housing: Approving, authorizing and directing execution of the Affordable Housing Agreement, Ground Lease and Easement Purchase Contract in support of Citrus Crossing would contribute to the City Council’s priority of balanced, quality housing by allowing the construction of and ensuring the long-term viability and affordability of 126 affordable rental housing units (127 units total including the manager’s unit) for lower income senior households.

Safe and Healthy Community: The development of affordable housing provides for decent, safe and sanitary housing for all segments of Glendale’s community.

RECOMMENDATION
The Housing Authority to (1) approve, authorize and direct execution of an Affordable Housing Agreement and Ground Lease with 900 E Broadway, L.P. for Housing Authority owned land at 900 E. Broadway, (2) approve, authorize and direct execution of an Easement Purchase Contract with 900 E Broadway, L.P. and Harrower Village, L.P., and (3) approve the Resolution of Appropriation in support of Citrus Crossing, a 100% affordable rental senior housing project.

BACKGROUND
In October 2019, the Housing Authority acquired 900, 912, 920 E. Broadway and 117 S.

Belmont Street from Tobinworld for $12.1M. The purpose of the Housing Authority’s acquisition was for a future 100% affordable housing development.

On July 29, 2020, the Housing Authority issued two Request for Qualifications (“RFQs”), one for the development of 100% affordable rental housing at 900 E. Broadway (alternatively, the “Project Site”) and another at 920 E. Broadway. 920 E. Broadway is a separate, 40-unit 100% affordable, historic and adaptively re-used rental housing project reserved for seniors. 920 E. Broadway will be developed by Abode and will require 22 shared parking spaces at 900 E. Broadway. This report and requested actions are specific to 900 E. Broadway.

In response to the RFQ, Meta submitted qualifications dated September 14, 2020 to ground lease the Project Site from the Housing Authority and develop the Project Site with 88 units of 100% affordable rental housing, a pedestrian paseo, a one and a half- level subterranean parking structure and additional community space.

After careful review of all twelve submittals to the RFQ, the Housing Authority recommended Meta as one of the development teams to be further evaluated for consideration. Through the RFQ process and in response to direction from the Housing Authority at its November 3, 2020 hearing, the concept plan was refined to reduce the size of the units to accommodate a senior population and to provide all parking in subterranean levels. The smaller units and subterranean parking allowed the number of units to be increased to 127, consisting of 87 studios, 39 one-bedroom and a single two bedroom manager’s unit and also allowed the addition of approximately, 1,000 square 5 of 422
3 2
2 9
1 9
feet of indoor community space, while reducing the building mass.

Citrus Crossing will provide 100% affordable rental housing for seniors with incomes between 20% and 70% of area median income. It will also provide 92 on-site, subterranean parking spaces, 22 of which will be reserved for 920 E. Broadway. Meta proposes to develop Citrus Crossing with financing that includes multifamily housing revenue bond proceeds, low income housing tax credits, Measure S Funds, Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Funds, HOME Program Funds, and other private and public funding sources.

On December 1, 2020, the Housing Authority approved entering into an Exclusive Negotiation Agreement with Meta. On May 4, 2021, the Housing Authority approved entering into a Letter of Loan Commitment and Lease Option with Meta in time for Meta to apply for an allocation of tax-exempt multifamily housing revenue bonds from the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee (“CDLAC”) and an allocation of 4% Tax Credits from CTCAC later in May 2021. Meta was able to secure 4% Tax Credits in September 2021.

Since the award of 4% Tax Credits, 900 E Broadway, L.P., a California Limited Partnership created by Meta, applied for the issuance of approximately $33 million in CDLAC tax-exempt multifamily housing revenue bond proceeds issued by the California Public Finance Authority (“CalPFA”), a Joint Powers Authority, in support of Citrus Crossing. On November 2, 2021, City Council approved City to become a non-charter additional member of CalPFA and conducted a Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (“TEFRA”) approving the issuance of $33 million in CDLAC tax-exempt multifamily housing revenue bond proceeds to finance the construction of Citrus Crossing.

Meta has been in the plan check process and anticipates building permit issuance by February 2022. Concurrently, Meta and City staff have negotiated an Affordable Housing Agreement, Ground Lease and related documents for Housing Authority review and approval. Additionally, Meta, Abode and staff have negotiated an Easement Purchase Contract regarding the 22 shared parking spaces located at 900 E. Broadway for Housing Authority review and approval. See Draft Affordable Housing Agreement (Exhibit 2), Draft Ground Lease (Exhibit 3) and Draft Easement Purchase Contract (Exhibit 4) attached.

Once approved, all closing documents will be executed. In January 2022, Glendale Water and Power (“GWP”) will begin the process of relocating and undergrounding the utility lines in the adjacent alley. Construction of Citrus Crossing will commence shortly thereafter. Construction is expected to last approximately 24 to 27 months with a deadline of September 1, 2024. Marketing of the units will not take place until approximately six months prior to anticipated construction completion. 6 of 422

ANALYSIS

SUMMARY OF TERMS OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING AGREEMENT AND GROUND LEASE
The key terms of the Affordable Housing Agreement remain substantively the same as when the Housing Authority approved the Letter of Loan Commitment on May 4, 2021.

The key terms of the Affordable Housing Agreement and Ground Lease are summarized as follows:
Meta will finance and construct 127 residential dwelling units for seniors, 126 as affordable rental housing and one will be reserved as an on-site manager’s unit. The housing units will be reserved for rent by lower income households at affordable rent levels between 20% and 70% area median income through the lease term of 72 years, with an optional five-year extension. The Housing Authority’s total assistance to Citrus Crossing is $15,050,000 (consisting of $6,050,000 for land and $9,000,000 development loan), or approximately, $118,504 per unit.
The Housing Authority’s assistance will be in the form of residual receipt loans secured by Leasehold Deeds of Trust that will be subordinate to a Permanent Financing Loan.
The term of the Ground Lease will be for 72 years with a five-year optional extension at a capitalized value of $6,050,000 payable through residual receipts.

PROJECT ECONOMICS
The estimated Citrus Crossing budget is $61,074,009. Citrus Crossing’s budget has increased by $3,872,219 since the Housing Authority approved the Letter of Loan Commitment on May 4, 2021. The increased costs are being funded by a combination of a larger permanent loan (mortgage financing) and deferred developer fees.

The Housing Authority’s contribution to Citrus Crossing remains the same, with a long term lease valued at the prorated land acquisition price of $6,050,000 (approximately, $47,638 per unit) and a $9 Million development loan (approximately, $70,866 per unit).

The remaining $46,024,009 will be financed using $26,374,213 in federal tax credit equity; $2,039,796 in state tax credit equity; approximately, $16,950,000 in conventional, private permanent loan financing; and $660,000 in parking revenue from 920 E. Broadway (Easement Purchase Contract).

SUMMARY OF TERMS OF EASEMENT PURCHASE CONTRACT
The key terms of the Easement Purchase Contract are summarized as follows:
Meta agrees to sell to Abode and Abode agrees to purchase a perpetual easement and right of way for the 22 parking spaces at 900 E. Broadway and the accommodation of pedestrians in connection with the use of such parking spaces.
Meta will be responsible for the construction of certain facilities within the easement property.
The easement purchase price will be $660,000.
If the 920 E. Broadway lease option between the Housing Authority and Abode, approved May 4, 2021, terminates at any point prior to the acquisition by Abode of the leasehold interest in 920 E. Broadway, then Abode shall assign all of its rights and obligations under the Easement Purchase Contract to the Housing Authority.
There is no fiscal impact associated with the Easement Purchase Contract should Abode assign all of its rights and obligations to the Housing Authority, as the $660,000 purchase price has already been committed by 920 E. Broadway’s Letter of Loan Commitment approved on May 4, 2021.

HUD HOME ACTION PLAN AND RESOLUTION OF APPROPRIATION
HUD HOME regulations require a Participating Jurisdiction to comply with its Citizen Participation Plan (“CPP”) before allocating HOME funds to a project. The CPP seeks to involve the participation of citizens of Glendale and social service agencies in the development and adoption of its Consolidated Plan (“CP”) and Annual Action Plan (“AAP”). The CP and AAP detail the City’s plan for addressing its affordable housing needs. The AAP provides details on specific affordable housing projects the Housing Authority intends to develop within a given year.

In the current AAP, the City of Glendale identified 900 E. Broadway as a project it intended to develop with the use of approximately $1.82 million in HOME dollars. The City sought public comment on the AAP from March 2, 2021 to April 2, 2021, and it was adopted by the City of Glendale on June 29, 2021.

With the award of 4% Tax Credits, the Housing Authority may now replace some of its commitment of Measure S funds with federal HOME funds. The maximum amount of HOME funds that can be committed to Citrus Crossing without triggering Davis Bacon prevailing wage is $1.8 million. Staff is recommending the Housing Authority approve committing $1.8 million in HOME Grant funds and deallocating an equal amount of Measure S funds as part of the approval of the Affordable Housing Agreement.

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
Public hearings were conducted on May 4, 2021 to approve the Density Bonus and Inclusionary Housing Plan, Letter of Loan Commitment and Lease Option. A Design Review Board hearing was also conducted on May 27, 2021. All hearings were properly noticed.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Housing Authority's total assistance to Citrus Crossing is $15.05 million, including $6,050,000 in land and $9.0 million in cash. The development loan is currently budgeted in the following projects:

However, as part of the Affordable Housing Agreement, staff is requesting to deallocate and return $1.8 million in Measure S CIP funds from Citrus Crossing to the New Affordable Housing Land Acquisition project. Since staff received authorization from HUD to utilize Home Grant funds for Citrus Crossing in the amount of $1.8 million, of which $1,192,875 was budgeted during the budget process, staff is requesting a resolution of appropriation in the amount of $607,125 from the HOME Grant fund 9 of 422

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW

Notwithstanding the forego- ing, Developer may, in compliance with the laws of the State of California and in lieu of maintaining such insurance, self -insure for workers ’ compensation in which event Lessee will deliver to Authority evidence that such self-insurance has been approved by the appropriate State authorities. If Developer is required to maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance under this paragraph, Developer will furnish the Authority with a certificate of waiver of subrogation under the terms of the Workers’ Compensation Insurance. Developer will require its general contractor to waive subrogation and will require that its subcontractors waive subrogation to the extent that such a waiver is commercially available.

To ascertain the amount of coverage required, Developer will cause the full insurable value to be determined from time to time by appraisal by the insurer, by the insurer’s automatic inflationary measure if acceptable to the Developer and the Authority, by agreement between Developer and Authority or by an appraiser mutually acceptable to Authority and Developer, not less often than once every three years. e. All insurance provided under this Section 4.12 will be for the benefit of Developer, Authority and City. Developer agrees to timely pay all premiums for such insurance and, at its sole cost and expense, to comply and secure compliance with all insurance requirements necessary for the maintenance of such insurance. Developer agrees to submit policies of all insurance required by this Section 4.12, or certificates and endorsements evidencing the existence thereof, to Authority within 30 days prior to the Construction Financing Event, indicating full coverage of the contractual liability imposed hereby. Within thirty (30) days, if practicable, but in any event prior to expiration of any such policy, copies of renewal policies, or certificates evidencing the existence thereof, will be submitted to Authority. All insurance herein provided for under this Section 4.12 will be effected under policies issued by insurers of recognized responsibility, licensed or permitted to do business in the State of California reasonably approved by Authority. f. Developer must cause all contractors and subcontractors performing work relating to the Project to maintain , at a minimum, the liability insurance and workers compensation insurance described in this Section 4.12. Developer must also cause its architects and engineers to maintain Architects and Engineers Professional Liability (Errors and Omissions) insurance on a “claims made basis” in an amount of not less $1,000,000. When coverage is provided on a “claims made basis”, Developer must cause all contractors and subcontractors to continue to renew the insurance for a period of five (5) years after the end of the Construction Period. Such insurance must have the same coverage and limit s as the policy that was in effect during the Construction Period, and cover Developer for all claims made by the Authority arising out of any acts or omissions of Developer, or its officers, employees or agents during the Construction Period. g. If Developer fails or refuses to procure or maintain insurance as required by this Agreement, Authority will have the right, at Authority ’s election, and upon ten (10) days prior notice to Developer , to procure and maintain such insurance. The premiums paid by Author ity will be treated as a loan, due from Developer , to be paid on the first day of the month following the date on which the premiums were paid. Authority will give prompt notice of the payment of such premiums, stating the amounts paid and the name of the insured(s). 44 of 422

b. The injured party will give written notice of default to the par ty in default, specifying the default complained of by the injured party. Failure or delay in giving such notice will not constitute a waiver of any default, nor will it change the time of default. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any failures or delays by either party in asserting any of its rights and remedies as to any default will not operate as a waiver of any default or of any such rights or remedies. Delays by either party in asserting any of its rights and remedies will not deprive either party of its right to institute and maintain any actions or proceedings which i t may deem necessary to protect, assert or enforce any such rights or remedies. c.

If the default is such that it is not reasonably capable of being cured within thirty (30) days, and the party in default (i) initiates corrective action within sa id period, and (ii) diligently, continually, and in good faith works to effect a cure as soon as possible, then the party in default will have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to cure the default prior to exercise of any remedies by the injured party. e.

f. Authority will send to the Investor Limited Partner a copy of all notices of default and all other notices that Authority sends to Developer , at the address for t he Investor Limited Partner provided in the LMIHAF Note.

ATTACHMENT NO. 3

METHOD O

F FINANCING
This is the Method of Financing attached to the Affordable Housing Agreement between the Housing Authority of the City of Glendale (the “Authority”) and 900 E BROADWAY, L.P., a California limited partnership (“Developer”), relating to Developer’s construction of a 127-unit (including one manager’s unit) multifamily project, to be rented at Affordable Rents to Extremely Low Income, Very Low Income, and Low Income Senior Citizen H ouseholds. Any capitalized term not otherwise defined herein will have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Affordable Housing Agreement.

The Project will be financed by a combination of co nstruction and permanent loans , a LMIHAF Loan, a HOME Loan, a Measure S Loan, and Developer Equity derived from the syndication of the Four Percent Tax Credit s. For purposes of this Agreement, “ Four Percent” refers to the applicable percentage of the qualified basis for a building that is not federally subsidized, as provided in Internal Revenue Code Section 42(b)(1).

1. Definitions. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms will have the meanings ascribed to them in the Affordable Housing Agreement.

2. Acquisition and Development C osts. The parties estimate that the total Acquisition and Development Costs will be approximately $59,760,000, of which approximately $6,167,000 (including carrying costs) is allocated to acquisition costs and approximately $53,593,000 is allocated to Development Costs . The Measure S Loan in the total amount of $11,525,000 consists of the Authority’s carry back of the fully capitalized rent under the Ground Lease in the amount of $6,050,000 and a loan of construction to permanent funds in the amount of $5,475,000. The HOME Loan consists of a loan of construction to permanent funds in the amount of $1,800,000. The LMIHAF Loan consists of a loan of construction to permanent funds in the amount of $1,725,000.

3. Sources of Construction Financing . The parties anticipate that the Acquisition and Development Costs will be financed during the Construction Period with the following combinations of funds:
a. The Construction Loan, in the approximate original principal amount of $____________, to be secured by a first deed of trust.
b. A second priority HOME Loan in the original principal amount of $1,800,000, less a $180,000 hold- back, equal to ten percent (10%) of disbursements during construction.
c. A second priority LMIHAF Loan in the original principal amount of $1,725,000, less a $172,500 hold- back, equal to ten percent (10%) of disbursements during construction.

Attachment No. 3 - Method of Financing

Page 2 ends

d. A second priority Measure S Loan in the original principal amount of $11,525,000, consisting of a $6,050,000 land loan and a construction to permanent loan of $5,475,000, less a $547,500 hold- back, equal to ten percent (10%) of disbursements during construction.
e. Costs deferred to Conversion in the amount of $[______], of which, $[_______] will be applied at Conversion to fund the Operating Reserve and $[________] will be applied at Conversion to pay permanent financing costs.
f. Developer Equity consisting of: (i) advances and capital contributions made by Developer’s Limited Partner, in the approximate amount of $__________; (ii) a cash contribution from Developer in the amount of $_______; and (iii) the deferral of a portion of the Developer Fee in the amount of $____________ (“Deferred Developer Fee”), $__________ of which will be paid at C onversion, with the $_________ balance of the Deferred Developer Fee to be paid from the net cash flow of the Project.

Developer’s right to pay the theretofore unpaid balance of the Deferred Developer Fee from the net cash flow of the Project will be prior to the Authority’s right to receive Residual Receipts payments. g. Developer will be responsible during the Construction Period to provide funds if and as needed to pay for cost overruns and contingencies not otherwise funded by the sources of funds as described herein.

4. Sources of Permanent Financing. Developer must make every reasonable effort to structure the terms of the permanent financing in a way that will minimize the amount of the Authority Loan needed to fill the financing gap. The parties anticipate that the Acquisition and Development Costs will be financed during the Permanent Period with the following combinations of funds:
a. The Permanent Loan, in the approximate original principal amount of $_________, to be secured by a first priority deed of trust; b. The HOME Loan described in paragraph 3.b above in the original principal amount of $1,800,000, secured by a second priority deed of trust; c. The LMIHAF Loan described in paragraph 3.c above in the original principal amount of $1,725,000, secured by a second priority deed of trust; d. The Measure S Loan described in paragraph 3.d above in the original principal amount of $11,525,000, secured by a second priority deed of trust; and
e. Developer Equity described in paragraph 3.f above, consisting of (1) the Deferred Developer Fee in the approximate amount of $_______ (to be paid 71 of 422

to the extent available from the net cash f low of the Project) plus (2) Developer’s cash contribution in the amount of $ _________ plus (3) the initial Limited Partner’s Capital Contribution of $________, plus the additional Limited Partner’s Capital Contribution in the approximate amount of $_____________.

5. Project Budget. The parties anticipate that all Acquisition and Development Costs will be as set forth in the Project Budget attached to the Affordable Housing Agreement as Attachment No. 6, which is incorporated herein by this re ference (the “ Project Budget”). The Project Budget will be subject to change from time- to-time, subject to the prior written approval of the Authority Executive Director or designee (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld), upon which approval , the Project Budget will be replaced by the approved revised Project Budget. Within the respective times provided therefor in the Schedule of Performance, the Developer will obtain all approvals needed for the Construction Loan and demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the Authority Executive Director, that all Developer Equity will be available for payment or refinancing of Development Costs when and as required by this Method of Financing.

6. Evidence of Financing. The sum of the Construction Loan plus the Developer’s Equity plus the LMIHAF Loan plus the HOME Loan plus the Measure S Loan will, at all times, be sufficient to pay all Acquisition and Development Costs as set forth in the most recently approved Project Budget. Prior to the Construction Financing Event, Developer will submit for Authority review and approval evidence of such financing, including: (a) copies of all documents required by the Construction Lender to obtain construction financing; (b) a firm commitment for the Permanent Loan and copies of all documents that will be required by Permanent Lender to obtain the Permanent Loan; and (c) the amended and restated limited partnership agreement upon inclusion of the Investor Limited Partner, including all exhibits thereto, and other documentation evidencing the availability of the Limited Pa rtner Capital Contribution, and such other documentation as may be appropriate to evidence other Developer Equity. The Authority will not unreasonably withhold its approval.

7. Authority Loans.
a. In accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of the Affordable Housing Agreement and this Method of Financing, the Authority agrees to make the LMIHAF Loan. The Measure S Loan, and the HOME Loan to Developer and Developer agrees to borrow such funds for the purpose of paying Acquisition and Development Costs. b. Developer hereby acknowledges that the Authority Loans are intended to be “gap” financing, not to exceed the amount needed to bridge the gap between the total Acquisition and Development Costs and the maximum Senior Loan obtainable by Developer plus the maximum amount of Developer ’s Equity set forth above but in any event not to exceed the dollar amount set forth above. If at any time Developer obtains additional financial assistance, Developer must promptly notify the Authority. The Authority will determine if such additional assistance would result in an over -subsidy of the Project, in which case, the Authority and Developer will mutually agree upon appropriate procedures for reducing the Authority Loan to eliminate the over-subsidy.

c. The Authority Loan will be used exclusively to pay Acquisition and Development Costs identified in the Project Budget.
d. At the Construction Financing Event, the Authority and Developer will execute and deliver such instruments and documents as may be necessary to evidence and secure the Authority Loan, consistent with the terms of the Affordable Housing Agreement and this Method of Financing, and each in a form that is acceptable to the Authority Executive Director or designee, including the following documents, as applicable, which are referred to as the “Authority Loan Documents”:

1. Agreement Containing Covenants;

2. Notice of Affordability Restrictions on Transfer of Property;

3. Agreement Containing HOME Program Requirements;

4. Promissory Note evidencing the LMIHAF Loan;

5. Promissory Note evidencing the HOME Loan;

6. Promissory Note evidencing the Measure S Loan;

7. Authority Deed of Trust securing the LMIHAF Loan, the Measure S Loan, and the HOME Loan;

8. Assignment of Rents and Leases;

9. Assignment of Agreements;

10. Environmental Indemnity;

11. UCC-1 Financing Statement; and

12. Disbursement Agreement.

8. Subordination
.
a. The lien of the Authority Deed of Trust, but not the Agreement Containing Covenants or the HOME Regulatory Agreement , will be subordinate to the lien created by the Construction Loan Deed of Trust and the Permanent Loan Deed of Trust, and any other of the Senior Loan Documents and all of the terms and conditions contained in the Senior Loan Documents.
b. Prior to the Construction Financing Event, the Executive Director of the Authority or designee will execute a Subordination Agreement that is consistent with applicable laws and regulations governing subordination of LMIHAF loans , Measure S loans, and HOME loans and is mutually acceptable to the Authority Executive Director or designee, the Construction 73 of 422

Attachment No. 3 - Method of Financing

Page 5 ends

Lender and Developer. The Subordination Agreement will subordinate the Authority Deed of Trust, but not the Agreement Containing Covenants or the HOME Regulatory Agreement, to the Construction Loan Deed of Trust and other Senior Loan Documents. The subordination agreement must provide the Authority with all rights under California Civil Code Section 2924b and 2924c and must contain written commitments reasonably designed to protect the Authority’s investment in the event of a default. Such written commitments will provide for, but not necessarily be limited to: (i) a right to cure a default on the Senior Loan deed of trust; (ii) a right to negotiate with Senior Lender after notice of default and prior to Senior Lender commencing foreclosure proceedings; (iii) a right to purchase Developer’s leasehold interest in the Property at any time after a default on the Senior Loan (provided that the Ground Lease contains appropriate non-merger provisions); and (iv) an agreement that if prior to foreclosure of the Senior Loan, the Authority takes title to the Developer’s leasehold interest in the Property and cures the default on the Senior Loan, the Senior Lender will not exercise any right it may have to accelerate the Senior Loan by reason of the transfer of title to the Authority.

9. Recordation

SCOPE OF DEVELOPMENT
The project site is located at 900 E. Broadway in the City of Glendale and consists of one (1) assessor parcels identified on the Site Map attached to this Affordable Housing Agreement as Attachment No. 1. The project site contains approximately 36,800 square feet.

The project consists of a 127-unit multifamily rental development to be constructed on the Property, consisting of 87 studio un its (at 400 square feet each), 39 one -bedroom units (at 600 square feet each), 1 two-bedroom manager’s unit (at 800 square feet), and ancillary facilities. The rental units will be contained in one five-story building with elevators.

A total of 92 parking spaces will be provided to the project in a 1.5 level subterranean parking facility (including 4 accessible, 4 electric vehicle ready, and 4 staff stalls). 22 of the parking spaces will be subject to a shared use agreement for the development locat ed at 920 E. Broadway (to include 1 accessible, 2 electric vehicle ready, and 2 staff stalls).

The project also includes improvements to the existing alley west of the project site to create a public paseo, including shared use with the development located at 920 E. Broadway. The project will remove existing improvements on the project site, including a vacant 11,120 square foot building, surface parking, and the undergrounding and reconfiguration of existing alley utilities.

The project will seek LEED Platinum Certification.

Site Planning:
 The project consists of single five-story structure, designed with a “U”-shape in order to accommodate a generous open central courtyard, over a 1.5 story subterranean parking garage.
 Ample common outdoor open space for the project is located within a proposed ground level courtyard and on three roof decks located on the 5th floor of the project. The courtyard, located in the center of the project is easily accessible from all the units, and will include seating, and through landscaping and other design means, provides appropriate privacy for the adjacent first-level residential units. This area also opens onto the adjacent pedestrian paseo to the east. The three proposed roof decks are designed with different activities in mind, including a garden, a game area and an outdoor living room.  Vehicular access to the site will be from a newly dedicated alley to the south of the building, with access to the parking garage and the existing alley.  The trash bins and recycling containers are located in a secure trash room at the rear/south of the building, with egress to the alley.
 Access to the units will be from an interior corridor.  The building amenities include an on-site property management office, community rooms, supportive services office and spaces, for recreational and educational uses. 78 of 422

Scope of Development

 Landscaping will be appropriately integrated into the design and the common areas, consisting of a variety of planters, walkways, and trees along the site perimeter, in the interior courtyards, and the front of the property.
 Limited fencing is proposed to secure the project site and the courtyard, and will be consistent with the design of the project.

Mass and Scale:

 The structures will provide appropriate setbacks given their location on the site and its relationship to surrounding buildings.
 The design of the 5th floor and associated roof forms illustrate variation in the overall design, with the material and design “cap” slightly set back from the rest of the volume, borrowing design elements such as a mansard-style roofline, and windows set within coffered frames.
 The building facades will consist of varying forms, volumes, appropriate setbacks, and architectural design treatment including modern-yet-restrained color themes, various roof decks to avoid “pinning” each corner of the site at maximum building height, decorative brick, with metal railings and interplay between materials. As a whole, these design moves will impart personality to the project, while minimizing the typical, box-like appearance common to many other multi-family, multi-story housing projects.  In addition, the project will be set back nearly 30’ from the current south property line, so as to provide a new public alley wherein the project can be served and serviced, while simultaneously avoiding crowding the existing, adjacent three-story multi-family housing to the immediate south.
 The project’s articulation, discrete building forms, and overall massing and scale, will fit contextually East Broadway’s varied architecture styles that span different eras, and which manifesting themselves though relatively different heights, massing, setbacks, materials, colors.
 The variety of materials and details, including carefully-structured voids that serve as decks, plazas or places of respite, serving to create a building that despite being five stories tall, works to lessen the overall impact that can often accompany the mass and scale of such a project.
 The project is carefully designed to appropriately integrate with the immediate street block(s) and surrounding neighborhood. It achieves this in part by utilizing landscape planters, hardscape and setbacks at the Broadway and Cedar elevations, while the overall massing provides a U-shape that creates an east-facing interior courtyard, which opens directly to a City alley that will be converted to pedestrian use only. This alley will serve as a public amenity space between this project and the adjacent redevelopment due east.

Thus, instead of being two blocks of housing on their own respective sites, the integrated design and planning approach provides a contextual and responsive building, with an eye on the public realm.

Building Design and Detailing:

79 of 422
Draft
Citrus Crossing (900 E. Broadway)
Attachment No. 4
Scope of Development

 The design of the building is a modern and crisp, avoiding classification into any specific design trend or era. Some elements, such as the “mansard” style roofline, simultaneously borrow from the past while also granting an element of personality to the building itself.  The proposed off-white stucco finish will complement the varying shades of brown accent colors depicted on ground floor common-area windows, balcony railings, and seamed panels cladding much of the 5th floor façade/parapet. As well, the expanse of yellow- tinged brick which clads significant amounts of the building façade, demonstrates a level of design commitment to a unified but varied color and material palette. The predominantly brown/earth tones of the building, and mixtures of stucco and brick, will integrate well with existing structures in the area.
 Each of the principal building facades is different, in that they respond uniquely to the environment to which they face. The facades are responsive to external context, yet there is a commonality through material choice, fenestration module sizing and 5th floor parapet/roof detailing.
 The first floor common areas will face Broadway and the new shared paseo to the east, while using metal “storefront systems” to enhance the ratio of vision glass relative to the rest of the face. Multiple balcony types as applicable to each of the varied unit types, pepper the building’s façade.
 The majority of the fenestration will be high-quality vinyl windows, specified to meet an established STC (sound transmission coefficient) to provide occupants with clear views but also thermal and acoustic comfort. Wherein feasible and the design permits, windows will be operable to provide fresh air. The addition of side lites and apparent muntins and rails where included, enhances the variability and depth.
