City of Palm Desert and Palm Desert Housing Authority
DDLA for Arc Village Project at APN 622-370-014 with Chelsea Investment Corporation
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The proposed apartment project known as “Arc Village Apartments” was approved on May 21, 2024, by the Planning Commission by adoption of Resolution No. 2868.
As part of the Planning Commission’s approval, the Developer intends to develop a two-story multifamily residential apartment building containing up to 40 dwelling units, and site improvements including, but not limited to, outdoor recreation areas, landscaping, off-street parking, and other related off-site improvements (the “Project”) on the vacant 1.84-acre site owned by the Authority and located off of County Club Drive identified as APN 622-370-014 (“Property” or “Project Site”). In addition, 10 of the units will be designated for use by individuals with developmental and/or intellectual disabilities and/or Desert Arc participants.
Approval of staff’s request would conditionally approve the land transfer of the Property and the loan from the Authority to the Developer for the Project, as well as authorize the Developer to apply to TCAC for an allocation of nine percent (9%) Federal Tax Credits and seek other funding sources.
The Project has already obtained funding awards from Inland Regional Center ($1,500,000), and eight (8) Project Based Vouchers from the Riverside County Housing Authority. The approval of staff’s request would also authorize the Authority’s staff and legal counsel to proceed to negotiate and prepare the agreements and documentation necessary for the donation of the Property, the financing, and the construction of the Project.
If the proposed funding sources are awarded to the Project, then staff and legal counsel will negotiate and finalize the DDLA and related documents (collectively, the “Loan Documents”).
The Loan Documents will generally require the following:
DDLA. The DDLA authorizes the Authority to donate the Project Site to the Developer for the development of the Project. By donating land for the Project Site, the TCAC tie-breaker score will be increased and will enable the Project to be more competitive in the TCAC allocation rounds.
Authority Loan Terms. The Authority Loan shall be in the principal amount of $3,000,000 and be made from the Authority’s Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund, and have a term of fiftyfive (55) years from the date of the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy, bear interest at three percent (3%) per annum compounded monthly prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy and simple interest at three percent (3%) per annum thereafter, and principal will be repaid from a proportional share of (50%) of the Projects residual receipts. The Authority Loan will be due and payable at the end of the loan term. The loan will be used to provide developer impact fee assistance and a portion of the costs of construction.
Authority Housing Agreement. The Housing Agreement for the Project will restrict all units in the Project, except for one (1) manager’s unit, to households that have incomes that do not exceed the following percentages of the Riverside County area median income (AMI):
3 0 % A M I 5 0 % A M I 5 9 % A M I T o t a l s
1-Bedroom Units 2 10 8 20
2-Bedroom Units 1 5 3 9

DDLA for Arc Village Project at APN 622-370-014 with Chelsea Investment Corporation
3-Bedroom Units 1 5 4 10
Total Units 4 20 15 39
Total development costs for the Project are estimated at $22,204,000 or $555,100 per unit. The Project is intended to be funded by leveraging multiple funding sources including conventional loan proceeds, 9% Federal Tax Credits, Solar Tax Credits, a $1,500,000 IRC Loan, an aggregate of eight (8) PBVs provided by the County, deferred developer fee, the Authority land donation and the Authority Loan.
To evaluate the Developer’s funding request, the Authority engaged the services of Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. (“KMA”), a state-wide provider of affordable housing consulting services, to provide technical assistance to determine if the Developer’s updated pro forma projections, feasibility and the request for the Loan were reasonable.
KMA’s evaluation included a detailed review of the Developer’s proforma. The Project’s assumptions, methodologies, and calculations were reviewed for reasonableness and accuracy. A financial gap analysis memorandum was provided by KMA on May 24, 2024, and is attached to this report. Their analysis concluded that the $3,000,000 loan from the Authority allows the Project to request less Tax Credit proceeds and achieve an approximate tie-breaker score of 63%. Based on historical awards, it is likely that the Project will receive an allocation in the July 2024 TCAC round and be able to start construction in early 2025.
The Authority provided $22,400 per unit to the Vitalia project in 2022 and $41,100 per unit to the UHC project in 2023, which were both funded with tax-exempt bonds and 4% Tax Credits. While the Authority’s proposed $75,000 per unit loan is higher than what the Authority has historically provided, a 40-unit project is much less efficient than projects with 269 (Vitalia) and 176 (UHC) units.
Also, the proposed Project will only include 8 PBVs compared to 87 PBVs (UHC) and an average affordability of 54% (Vitalia). KMA concluded that in the current environment of high interest rates and construction costs and less federal and state funding sources available to affordable housing projects, the Developer’s request is reasonable to allow the Project to be developed in a timely manner.
A Notice of a public hearing on the proposed conveyance of the Property was published once a week for two successive weeks in the Desert Sun.
Staff believes that based on the proximity to Desert Arc and its clients, the Property’s location to public transit, accessibility to health services, and other community, this is the best use for the Property. Access to the Property will be coordinated through Desert Arc with secondary (fire access) through the shared wall with Las Serenas. Staff therefore recommends that the Housing Authority Board, hold a public hearing on the proposed donation of the Property and approve the draft DDLA and other Loan Documents, and authorize the Executive Director and legal counsel to finalize and sign all other necessary documents.
Legal Review:
This report and resolutions have been reviewed by the Special Legal Counsel.
Strategic Plan:
1041
City of Palm Desert and Palm Desert Housing Authority
DDLA for Arc Village Project at APN 622-370-014 with Chelsea Investment Corporation
One of the priorities of the City of Palm Deserts (the “City”) Envision Palm Desert Strategic Plan, as part of Land, Use, Housing and Open Space, is to facilitate development of high-quality housing for people of all income levels. This request meets that objective by diversifying the City’s housing stock for moderate- and lower-income households.
Environment Review:
Via Resolution No. 2868, the Arc Village Apartments Project was approved by the Planning Commission on May 21, 2024, pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines Section 15332, for In-fill Development Projects (Class 32). The proposed DDLA, parcel conveyance and related approvals are approvals of the Arc Village Apartments project and thus exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15332.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
An appropriation from the Authority’s Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund is necessary to fund the requested Loan in an amount not to exceed $3,000,000. Funds are available from the Housing Asset Fund’s unobligated fund balance. The Property will be donated to the Developer and the above-identified funding will only be provided upon entering the DDLA and other Loan documents, satisfactory proof of all financing necessary to fund the entire Project, and the Project must be permit ready. There is no fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund.

A CALIFORNIA CORPORATION
(OR ITS DESIGNEE)
The following Summary Report has been prepared pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 33433 (“Section 33433”). The Summary Report sets forth certain details of the proposed Disposition, Development and Loan Agreement (“Agreement”) between the Palm Desert Housing Authority (“Authority”), in its capacity as the Palm Desert Housing Successor, and Chelsea Investment Corporation, or its designee (“Developer”). The Agreement requires the Authority to convey the parcel located off of Country Club Drive (“Site”) totaling 1.84-acres to the Developer for the development of an apartment project including 40 apartment units, including 39 income restricted units, 10 of which will be designated for use by individuals with special needs, and one unit to be used for on-site management (“Project”).
In 2012, the City of Palm Desert (“City”) designated the Authority as the Housing Successor for the former Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency (“Agency”). The Agency used low income housing set-aside funds to purchase the Site in July 2011. The Site was transferred to the Authority in 2012 per the Housing Asset Transfer list as was approved by the State of California’s Department of Finance. The Authority also proposes to provide financial assistance to the Project from the Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund (“LMIHAF”). The Project was approved by the Planning Commission on May 21, 2024.
The purpose of the Agreement is to implement the Authority’s objective of improving and increasing the supply of affordable housing in the City of Palm Desert. Due to the funding source used to purchase and develop the Site, the proposed conveyance of the Site to the Developer is subject to the reporting requirements imposed by Section 33433. Specifically, Section 33433 requires the conveying entity to prepare a report that summarizes the financial terms associated with the disposition transaction for the Site.
The following Summary Report is based upon the information contained within the Agreement, and is organized into the following seven sections:

17166.018.001
6. The Authority will have the ability to remove the property manager if there are property management issues.
7. The Authority Housing Agreement placed on the Property shall terminate 55 years from the date of issuance of the final Certificate of Occupancy and will be unsubordinated. The Authority Housing Agreement will restrict the units as follows:

c. Not less than eight (8) of the 1-bedroom units, three (3) of the 2-bedroom units, and four (4) of the 3-bedroom units are to be restricted to Low Income Households up to 59% of the Riverside area median income (“AMI”).
II. COST OF THE AGREEMENT TO THE AUTHORITY
The Authority has incurred costs associated with assembling and maintaining the Site. The Authority will be required to incur additional costs to implement the proposed Agreement. These costs are detailed in this section of the analysis.
Costs Previously
Incurred by
Agency /
Authority
Costs to be
Incurred by

Total Costs
Incurred by

Land Acquisition Costs $1,000,000 $0 $1,000,000
Authority Loan 0 3,000,000 3,000,000
(Less) Land Payment (0) (0) (0)
(Less) Authority Loan Payments 2 (0) (7,950,000) (7,950,000) Total Net Incurred Costs / (Revenues) $1,000,000 ($4,950,000) ($3,950,000) *Note: The acquisition cost has been rounded from $1,000,200.
The total net revenues to the Authority are estimated to equal approximately $3,950,000. It is anticipated that the Note, totaling $3,000,000.00, will be fully repaid by the end of the loan term.
However, given that the debt service on the Note is completely dependent on the cash flow produced by the Project over time, it is too speculative to predict the net present value of the debt service payments that will be made over the term of the Note.
III. ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE INTERESTS TO BE CONVEYED DETERMINED AT THE
HIGHEST USE PERMITTED UNDER THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
California Health and Safety Code Section 33433 requires the Authority to identify the value of the interests being conveyed at the highest use permitted under the zoning in place on the Site. 2 Based on projected nominal loan payment over the 55-year loan period. 1050
7 2405013:PD;JLR
17166.018.001
The valuation must be based on the assumption that the property is vacant, and that near-term development is required. The valuation does not take into consideration any extraordinary use, quality and/or income restrictions being imposed on the development by the Authority.
The currently vacant Site is zoned P (Public Facilities/Institutional) by the City’s Planning Department. The P district is specifically reserved for public, institutional and open space.
Multifamily development in this zone may be allowed with a Conditional Use Permit. In an appraisal by CBRE dated September 26, 2023, with a June 28, 2023, date of value, the highest and best use is determined to be multifamily residential, and the value of the Site is $1,600,000.00, or $19.96 per square foot of land area.
IV. ESTIMATED REUSE VALUE OF THE INTERESTS TO BE CONVEYED Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. (KMA), the Authority’s financial consultant, prepared a reuse valuation analysis in January 2020 of the Site based on the financial terms and conditions imposed by the Agreement. The KMA analysis concluded that the fair reuse value of the Site is $0.00. This means that the Site would need to be conveyed to the Developer at no cost to make the scope of development required by the Agreement financially feasible. This valuation also assumes that the Authority will provide a $3,000,000.00 loan to the Project and enable it to be successful when competing for 9% Tax Credits in July 2024.
It is important to note that the amount of the Authority assistance package identified in the Agreement is predicated on the assumption that the Project will receive competitively awarded 9% Tax Credits. If this source is not received by the Project, the fair reuse valuation conclusion will need to be re-evaluated.
V. CONSIDERATION RECEIVED AND COMPARISON WITH THE ESTABLISHED VALUE The Agreement imposes extraordinary controls on the Property. The impacts created by these requirements reduce the value of the Property from $1,600,000.00 at the highest use permitted under the Property zoning, to the established fair reuse value of $0.00.
The Agreement states that the Authority will donate the Site to the Developer at no cost. Given that the proceeds received by the Authority for the Site ($0.00) will be equal to the established fair reuse value of $0.00, it can be concluded that the Authority is receiving fair consideration for the interests being conveyed to the Developer.
VI. BLIGHT ELIMINATION
The Agreement includes placing affordability restrictions on the units for 55 years. In accordance with California Redevelopment Law, as portrayed in the California Health and Safety Code Section 33433, the conveyance of property that results in the provision of housing for low or moderate income persons satisfies the blight elimination criteria imposed by Section 33433.
Thus, the scope of development required by the Agreement fulfills the blight elimination requirement.
1051
8 2405013:PD;JLR
17166.018.001
VII. CONFORMANCE WITH THE AB1290 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
The Project will meet the affordable housing goals and objectives identified in the most recent Five Year Implementation Plan for the former Agency. In addition, the Site is listed in the City’s Housing Element as a potential affordable housing site. 1052

In this connection and to the extent permitted by law, the Developer agrees, represents and warrants that the Developer realizes and acknowledges that factual matters now unknown to the Developer may have given or may hereafter give rise to causes of action, claims, demands, debts, controversies, damages, costs, losses and expenses which are presently unknown, unanticipated and unsuspected, and the Developer further agrees, represents and warrants that the waivers and releases herein have been negotiated and agreed upon in light of that realization and that the Developer nevertheless hereby intends to release, discharge and acquit the Released Parties from any such unknown causes of action, claims, demands, debts, controversies, damages, costs, losses and expenses. Accordingly, the Developer, on behalf of itself and anyone 1073

claiming by, through or under the Developer, hereby assumes the above-mentioned risks and hereby expressly waives any right the Developer and anyone claiming by, through or under the Developer, may have under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which reads as follows:
“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor or released party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”
Developer’s Initials: __________
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this release does not apply to, nor will the City or the Authority be released from, the City’s or the Authority’s actual fraud or misrepresentation.

Section 4.7 Construction Responsibilities. The Developer is solely responsible for all aspects of the Developer’s conduct in connection with the Project, including but not limited to the quality and suitability of the Construction Plans, the supervision of construction work, and the qualifications, financial condition, and performance of all architects, engineers, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, consultants, and property managers. Any review or inspection undertaken by the Authority and/or the City with reference to the Project is solely for the purpose of determining whether the Developer is properly discharging its obligations to the Authority and should not be relied upon by the Developer or by any third parties as a warranty or representation by the Authority and/or the City as to the quality of the design or construction of the Project.
Section 4.8 Mechanics Liens, Stop Notices, and Notices of Completion. If any claim of lien is filed against the Property or the Project or a stop notice is served on any lender or other third party in connection with the Project, then the Developer must, within twenty (20) days after such filing or service, either pay and fully discharge or cause the Developer’s contractor to pay and fully discharge, the lien or stop notice, effect the release of such lien or stop notice by delivering to the Authority a surety bond from a surety reasonably acceptable to the Executive Director in sufficient form and amount, or provide the Authority with other assurance reasonably satisfactory to the Authority that the claim of lien or stop notice will be paid or discharged. 1075
-16- P6401-0001\2946086v9.doc
(a) If the Developer fails to discharge any lien, encumbrance, charge, or claim in the manner required in this Section or obtain a surety bond, then in addition to any other right or remedy, the Authority may (but is under no obligation to) discharge such lien, encumbrance, charge, or claim at the Developer’s expense. Alternatively, the Authority may require the Developer to immediately deposit with the Authority the amount necessary to satisfy such lien or claim and any costs, pending resolution thereof. The Authority may use such deposit to satisfy any claim or lien that is adversely determined against the Developer. (b) The Developer must file a valid notice of cessation or notice of completion upon cessation of construction of the Project for a continuous period of thirty (30) days or more and take all other reasonable steps to forestall the assertion of claims of lien against the Property or the Project.

Upon reasonable written notice from the Authority requesting to review specified Developer records, the Developer shall deliver the records to the Authority’s offices within fifteen (15) business days following the Authority’s request. The Authority will notify the Developer of any records it deems insufficient. The Developer will have thirty (30) days after delivery of such a notice to correct any deficiency in the records specified by the Authority in such notice, or if a period longer than thirty (30) days is reasonably necessary to correct the deficiency, then the Developer must begin to correct the deficiency within thirty (30) days and complete the correction of the deficiency as soon as reasonably possible.

Promptly after completing the Project in accordance with those provisions of this Agreement that relate solely to the obligations of the Developer to construct the Project (including the dates for beginning and completion thereof), the Authority will provide a Certificate of Completion so certifying (the “Certificate of Completion”).
The Certificate of Completion will be the conclusive determination that the covenants in this Agreement with respect to the obligations of the Developer to construct the Project and the dates for the beginning and completion thereof have been met. The Certificate of Completion shall be in such form as will enable such certificate to be recorded in the Official Records. The Certificate of Completion will not constitute evidence of compliance with or satisfaction of any obligation of the Developer to any holder of a Security Financing Interest. The Certificate of Completion may not be deemed a notice of completion under the California Civil Code. 1076

All such books, records, and accounts shall be open to and available for inspection by the Authority, its auditors or other authorized representatives at reasonable intervals during normal business hours on reasonable prior notice to the Developer.

The sole recourse of the Authority with respect to the principal of, or interest on, the Promissory Note shall be to the property described in the Deed of Trust; provided, however, that nothing contained in the foregoing limitation of liability shall: (a) limit or impair the enforcement against all such security for the Promissory Note of all the rights and remedies of the Authority thereunder; or (b) be deemed in any way to impair the right of the Authority to assert the unpaid principal amount of the Promissory Note as demand for money within the meaning and intendment of Section 431.70 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any successor provision thereto.
The foregoing limitation of liability is intended to apply only to the obligation for the repayment of the principal of, and payment of interest on the Promissory Note and nothing contained herein is intended to relieve the Developer of personal liability for (1) fraud or willful misrepresentation; (2) the failure to pay taxes, assessments or other charges (which are not contested by the Developer in good faith) which may create liens on the Property that are payable or applicable prior to any foreclosure under the applicable Deed of Trust (to the full extent of such taxes, assessments or other charges); (3) the Developer’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement; (4) misappropriation of any rents, security deposits, insurance proceeds, condemnation awards or any other proceeds derived from the collateral security and (5) payment to the Authority of any rental income or other income arising with respect to the Property received by the Developer after the Authority has given notice to the Developer of the occurrence of a Developer Event of Default, subject to the rights of any lender providing a loan secured by the Property to which Authority has subordinated the Deed of Trust.

The foregoing covenant runs with the land. 1080

Within thirty (30) business days, the Authority must either: (1) use good faith efforts to cure the breach or, if such cure is of the nature to take longer than thirty (30) days, to follow the procedures specified below; or (2) if in the determination of the Authority, the event does not constitute a breach of this Agreement, the Authority, as applicable, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice, must deliver to the Developer a notice which sets forth with reasonable particularity the reasons that a default has not occurred. Failure to respond within the thirty (30) day period shall not be deemed an admission of the default.
If the Authority, as applicable, believes that the alleged breach cannot practically be cured within the thirty (30)-day period, it shall not constitute and Authority Event of Default provided that: (1) the cure is commenced during the thirty (30) day period after receipt of the notice of alleged breach by the Developer; (2) the cure is thereafter diligently prosecuted to completion.

Section 8.8 Remedies Cumulative. No right, power, or remedy given to the Authority by the terms of this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power, or remedy; and each and every such right, power, or remedy will be cumulative and in addition to every other right, power, or remedy given by the terms of any such instrument, or by any statute or otherwise.

ARTICLE 9
SECURITY FINANCING AND RIGHTS OF HOLDERS
Section 9.1 No Encumbrances Except for Development Purposes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, mortgages and deeds of trust, or any other reasonable method of security are permitted to be placed upon the Developer’s fee interest in the Property, but only for the purpose of securing loans approved by the Authority under the approved Financing Proposal or otherwise approved in writing by the Authority. Mortgages, deeds of trust, or other reasonable security instruments securing loans approved by the Authority under the approved Financing Proposal are each referred to as a “Security Financing Interest.” The words “mortgage” and “deed of trust” as used in this Agreement include all other appropriate modes of financing real estate acquisition, construction, and land development.
Section 9.2 Holder Not Obligated to Construct. The holder of any Security Financing Interest authorized by this Agreement is not obligated to construct or complete the Project or to guarantee such construction or completion. However, no such holder shall devote the Property or any portion thereof to any uses, or to construct any development thereon, other than the Project provided for or authorized by this Agreement and the Housing Agreement.
Section 9.3 Notice of Default and Right to Cure. Whenever the Authority under its rights set forth in Article 8 of this Agreement delivers any notice or demand to the Developer with respect to the commencement, completion, or cessation of the construction of the Project, the Authority will at the same time deliver to each holder of record of any Security Financing Interest creating a lien upon the Developer’s fee interest in the Property, or any portion thereof, a copy of such notice or demand provided the Authority shall have been given written notice of the address for such notice by the Developer. Each such holder has the right, but not the obligation, at its option, within ninety (90) days after the delivery of the notice, to cure or remedy or commence to cure or remedy any such default or breach affecting the Property which is subject to the lien of the Security Financing Interest held by such holder and to add the cost thereof to the debt and the lien on its Security Financing Interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement is deemed to permit or authorize such holder to undertake or continue the construction or completion of the Project (beyond the extent necessary to conserve or protect the Project or construction already made) without first having expressly assumed in writing the Developer’s obligations to the Authority relating to the Project under this Agreement pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement prepared by the Authority and recordable in the Official Records (the “Security Financing Interest Assignment”). The holder in that event must agree to complete the Project, in the manner provided in the Schedule of Performance (or as may be amended by the Security Financing Interest Assignment; provided, however, the Authority is under no obligation to extend the dates for performance set forth in this Agreement).

(5) To pay immediately and without demand all sums so expended by Beneficiary hereunder.
(6) The Trustor further covenants that it will not voluntarily create, suffer, or permit to be created against the Property any lien or liens except for deeds of trust securing financing used to pay for construction of the Project, as defined in the Loan Agreement (or securing refinancing of such construction loans) and further that it will keep and maintain the Property and Project free from the claims of all persons supplying labor or materials which will enter into the construction of any and all buildings now being erected or to be erected on the Property, or will cause the release of or will provide a bond against any such liens within ten (10) days of the attachment of the lien or liens.
(7) That by accepting payment of any sum secured hereby after its due date, Beneficiary does not waive its right either to require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to declare default for failure so to pay. (8) That at any time or from time to time, without liability therefor and without notice, upon written request of Beneficiary, and without affecting the personal liability of any person for payment of the indebtedness secured hereby, Trustee may: reconvey any part of the Property; consent to the making of any map or plat thereof; join in granting any easement thereon; or join in any extension agreement or any agreement subordinating the lien or charge hereof. (9) That upon written request of Beneficiary stating that all sums secured hereby have been paid or forgiven by Beneficiary, and upon surrender of the Note to Trustee for cancellation and retention and upon payment of its fees, Trustee shall reconvey, without warranty, the Property then held hereunder. The recitals in such reconveyance of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. The grantee in such reconveyance may be described as “the person or persons legally entitled thereto.”
(10) That Trustor hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Beneficiary all the rents, income and profits of the Property encumbered hereby, and hereby gives to and confers upon Beneficiary the right, power and authority to collect such rent, income, and profits, and Trustor irrevocably appoints Beneficiary Trustor’s true and lawful attorney at the option of Beneficiary, at any time, to give receipts, releases and satisfactions and to sue, either in the name of Trustor or in the name of Beneficiary, for all income, and apply the same to the indebtedness secured hereby; provided, however, so long as no default by Trustor in the payment of any indebtedness secured hereby shall exist and be continuing beyond any applicable cure period expressly provided therein, then, Trustor shall have the right to collect all rent, income and profits from the Property and to retain, use and enjoy the same. Upon any such default, Beneficiary may at any time without notice, either in person, by agent, or by a receiver to be appointed by a court, and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the indebtedness hereby secured, enter upon and take possession of the Property or any part thereof, in its own name sue for or otherwise collect such rents, issues and profits, including those past due and unpaid, and apply the same, less costs and expenses of operation and collection, including reasonable attorney’s fees, upon any indebtedness secured hereby, and in such order as Beneficiary may determine.

-4- P6401-0001\2952816v4.doc
and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall not cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice. (11) That upon a default by Trustor under the Loan Agreement (after all notice and cure periods have elapsed), Beneficiary may declare all sums secured hereby immediately due and payable by delivery to Trustee of written declaration of default and demand for sale and of written notice of default and election to cause to be sold the Property, which notice Trustee shall cause to be filed for record. Beneficiary also shall deposit with Trustee this Deed of Trust, the Note and all documents evidencing expenditures secured hereby. After the lapse of such time as may then be required by law following the recordation of the notice of default, and notice of sale having been given as then required by law, Trustee, without demand on Trustor, shall sell the Property at the time and place fixed by it in the notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate parcels, and in such order as it may determine, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States, payable at time of sale. Trustee may postpone sale of all or any portion of the Property by public announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by public announcement at the time fixed by the preceding postponement.
Trustee shall deliver to such purchaser its deed conveying the Property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including Trustor, Trustee, or Beneficiary as hereinafter defined, may purchase at the sale.
After deducting all costs, fees and expenses of Trustee and of this Trust, including cost of evidence of title in connection with sale, Trustee shall apply the proceeds of sale to payment of:
all sums expended under the terms hereof, not then repaid, with accrued interest at the amount allowed by law in effect at the date hereof; all other sums then secured hereby; and the remainder, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto. (12) Beneficiary, or any successor in ownership of any indebtedness secured hereby, may from time to time, by instrument in writing, substitute a successor or successors to any Trustee named herein or acting hereunder, which instrument, executed by the Beneficiary and duly acknowledged and recorded in the office of the recorder of the county or counties where the Property is situated, shall be conclusive proof of proper substitution of such successor Trustee or Trustees, who shall, without conveyance from the Trustee predecessor, succeed to all its title estate, rights, powers and duties. The instrument must contain the name of the original Trustor, Trustee and Beneficiary hereunder, the book and page where this Deed of Trust is recorded and the name and address of the new Trustee.
(13) That this Deed of Trust applies to, inures to the benefit of, and binds all parties hereto, their heirs, legatees, devisees, administrators, executors, successors and assigns. The term Beneficiary shall mean the owner and holder, including pledgees, of the Note, whether or not named as Beneficiary herein. In this Deed of Trust, whenever the context so requires, the masculine gender includes the feminine and/or neuter, and the singular number includes the plural. (14) If Trustor shall sell, convey, hypothecate, transfer, encumber or alienate the Property, or any part thereof, or any interest therein, or any interest in Trustor is transferred, or Trustor shall be divested of title or any interest in the Property in any manner or way, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, without the prior written consent of the Beneficiary being first had 1127
-5- P6401-0001\2952816v4.doc
and obtained (if and to the extent such consent is required in the Loan Agreement or if the failure to get such consent would be a Developer Event of Default under the Loan Agreement), or if an Authority Event of Default by Trustor shall occur under the Loan Agreement, then Beneficiary shall have the right, at its option, to declare any indebtedness or obligations secured hereby, irrespective of the maturity date specified in any note evidencing the same, immediately due and payable.
(15) That Trustor shall promptly pay when due the payments of interest, principal, and all other charges accruing under any superior or prior trust deed, mortgage, or other instrument encumbering the Property. Beneficiary shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any defaults on any superior or prior deed of trust or promissory note secured thereby and upon curing such default Trustor shall immediately reimburse Beneficiary for all costs and expenses incurred thereby, together with interest thereon at the maximum legal rate permitted to be charged by nonexempt lenders under the State of California, and Trustor’s failure to pay such amount on demand shall be a breach hereof. Trustor’s breach or default of any covenant or condition of any superior or prior trust deed, mortgage or other instrument encumbering the Property shall be a default under this Deed of Trust, whereupon Beneficiary shall have the right to declare all sums under the Note secured hereby immediately due and payable as provided in the Note. (16) The undersigned Trustor requests that a copy of any notice of default and of any notice of sale hereunder (and any other notices hereunder) be mailed to it at its address for notices in the Loan Agreement.
(17) Trustor shall not commit waste with respect to the Property. (18) Any notices, requests or approvals given under this Deed of Trust from one party to another must be in writing and may be personally delivered; or deposited with the United States Postal Service, postage prepaid, for delivery by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested; or sent by next business day delivery service such as FedEx, to the following address:

ONGOING DEVELOPMENT OBLIGATIONS
2.1 Development and Affordable Units.
The Owner shall develop and construct the Development on the Property in conformity with the DDLA. Thereafter, during the Required Covenant Period, the Owner agrees that not less than thirty-nine (39) units in the Development shall be Affordable Units, meaning that (a) four (4) of such units shall be continually available to and occupied by, or held vacant for occupancy only by Extremely Low Income Households, (b) twenty (20) of such units shall be continually available to and occupied by, or held vacant for occupancy only by Very Low Income Households, and (c) fifteen (15) of such units shall be continually available to and occupied by, or held vacant for occupancy only by 59% AMI Low Income Households. In addition, ten (10) of such units shall be designated for occupancy for otherwise qualifying households with developmental disabilities which may be identified from time to time by Desert Arc, a California nonprofit corporation. All of the rental units in the Development shall be similarly constructed and generally constructed at the same time. All of the Units shall be of comparable quality. The Owner agrees that, to the extent commercially reasonable, Affordable Units will not be underutilized. No persons shall be permitted to occupy any Affordable Unit in excess of applicable limit of maximum occupancy set by the City’s Municipal Code and the laws of the State of California, or by Authority Resolution HA-84 adopted on December 14, 2017 (and the occupancy policy attached as Exhibit A thereto) and any amendments or replacements thereof.
2.2 Residential Rental Property.
The Owner covenants to operate the Development as residential rental property. During the Required Covenant Period, the Affordable Units will be held and used for the purpose of providing residential living, and the Owner shall own, manage and operate, or cause the management and operation of, the Development to provide such affordable rental housing. All of the rental units in the Development with the exception of one (1) manager’s unit, will be available for rental on a continuous basis to members of the general public and the Owner will not give preference to any particular class or group in renting the units in the Development, except as required under this Agreement. The Owner shall not convert any Affordable Unit(s) to condominiums or cooperative ownership or sell condominium or cooperative conversion rights to any Affordable Unit(s) during the term of this Agreement.
2.3 Extremely Low, Very Low and 59% AMI Low Income Households.
2.3.1 Income Qualification; Initial Certification. Subject to the applicable provisions hereof, throughout the Required Covenant Period, Affordable Units will be exclusively occupied by, or available for occupancy only by, Extremely Low, Very Low and 59% AMI Low Income Households as described above. Prior to the rental or lease of an Affordable Unit and in accordance with Section 2.6 hereof, the Owner will obtain and maintain on file a Household 1137
-5- P6401-0001\2946251v5.doc
Income Certification (“Income Certification”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “B” and incorporated herein by this reference for each Extremely Low, Very Low and 59% AMI Low Income Household, as applicable, and shall provide copies of same to the Authority at such times as the Authority may, from time to time, reasonably require. In addition, the Owner will provide such further information as may reasonably be required in the future by the Authority.
The initial Income Certification shall be dated immediately prior to the applicable household’s initial occupancy of an Affordable Unit. The Owner shall make a good faith effort to verify that the income provided by an applicant in an Income Certification is accurate by taking any one or more of the following steps as part of the verification process for all household members over the age of eighteen (18) as appropriate:
(i) Obtain two (2) pay stubs for the two (2) most recent pay periods; (ii) Obtain a true copy of an income tax return for the most recent tax year in which a return was filed;
(iii) Obtain an income verification form from the household member’s current employer;
(iv) Obtain an income verification form from the Social Security Administration and/or the State Department of Social Services, or its equivalent, if the household member receives assistance from either of those agencies; (v) If the household member is unemployed and has no tax return, obtain another form of independent verification; or
(vi) Obtain such other documentation as may be reasonably acceptable pursuant to Title 25 of the California Code of Regulations, as amended from time to time, to verify income.
2.3.2 Certificate of Continuing Program Compliance; Annual Report; Annual Monitoring/Administration Fee. Throughout the Required Covenant Period, the Owner will prepare and submit to the Authority, at such periodic frequency as the Authority might reasonably require, but not more than once annually, a Certificate of Continuing Compliance in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit “C” and incorporated herein by this reference, and executed by the Owner. The Owner will also prepare and submit to the Authority on or before each anniversary date of the commencement of the Required Covenant Period, and for the preceding calendar year, a report in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Authority summarizing the vacancy rate of the Development, including the number of Affordable Units held vacant for occupancy by Extremely Low, Very Low and 59% AMI Low Income Households for such calendar year. The Owner shall pay an annual monitoring/administration fee in the amount of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00), increasing by three percent (3%) annually, concurrently with Developer’s scheduled annual payment of Residual Receipts to Authority under the Authority Loan.
2.4 Affordable Rent. Throughout the Required Covenant Period, an Affordable Rent shall be charged to the Extremely Low, Very Low and 59% AMI Low Income Household occupants of Affordable Units, as more specifically described above. 1138
-6- P6401-0001\2946251v5.doc
2.5 Rent Increases. Rents for Affordable Units may be increased not more than once per year and twelve (12) months must have elapsed since the date of the tenant’s initial occupancy or the last rent increase. The rents charged following such an increase, or upon a vacancy and new occupancy by an Extremely Low, Very Low or 59% AMI Low Income Households, as applicable, shall not exceed an Affordable Rent. The Owner shall, consistent with applicable law, give proper written notice to tenants of all rent increases, and upon written request, provide the Authority with reasonable detail concerning the amount of and rationale for such rent increases.
2.6 Income Recertification of Affordable Units. Annually, on the anniversary date of occupancy of an Affordable Unit by an Extremely Low, Very Low and 59% AMI Low Income Household, as applicable, the Owner shall obtain and maintain on file an annual income certification, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Authority, from each household occupying an Affordable Unit, based upon the current income of each household member over the age of eighteen (18). The Owner shall make a good faith effort to verify that the income provided by the household is accurate in accordance with Section 2.3.1, above.
2.6.1 A rental unit occupied by a household that qualifies as an Extremely Low, Very Low and 59% AMI Low Income Household, as applicable, at the time the household first occupies an Affordable Unit shall be deemed to continue to be so occupied until a recertification of such household’s income demonstrates that such household no longer qualifies as an Extremely Low, Very Low or 59% AMI Low Income Household, as applicable. At such time as a household ceases to qualify as an Extremely Low, Very Low or 59% AMI Low Income Household, as applicable, based on income recertification, the Owner shall designate the next available unit (one that is not occupied by a tenant) with the same number of bedrooms as the occupied Affordable Unit and it shall be leased to an Extremely Low, Very Low or 59% AMI Low Income Household, as applicable, so that the number of Affordable Units occupied by or reserved for occupancy by Extremely Low, Very Low or 59% AMI Low Income Households will remain constant. For purposes of this Agreement, such designated unit will be considered an Affordable Unit if it is held vacant and available solely for occupancy by an Extremely Low, Very Low or 59% AMI Low Income Household, as applicable, and, upon occupancy, the income eligibility of the household as an Extremely Low, Very Low or 59% AMI Low Income Household is verified and the unit is rented at Affordable Rent.
2.7 Lease or Occupancy Agreement. Prior to the rental or lease of an Affordable Unit to an Extremely Low, Very Low or 59% AMI Low Income Household, the Owner shall require the tenant to execute a written lease or occupancy agreement. The Owner shall maintain on file throughout the Required Covenant Period and for a four (4) year period thereafter, the executed lease or occupancy agreement of each tenant occupying an Affordable Unit. The form of lease or occupancy agreement used by the Owner for the lease or rental of Affordable Units shall be that which is reasonable and customary in residential leasing. In addition, each lease or occupancy agreement for an Affordable Unit shall (i) provide that the tenants of such Affordable Unit shall be subject to annual recertification of income and subject to rental increases in accordance with Section 2.5 of this Agreement, and (ii) contain a provision to the effect that the Owner has relied on the income certification and supporting information supplied by the tenant in determining qualification for occupancy of the Affordable Unit, and that any material misstatement in such certification (whether or not intentional) may be cause for immediate termination of such lease or occupancy agreement, and (iii) contain a provision to the effect that the tenant’s occupancy of the 1139
-7- P6401-0001\2946251v5.doc
Affordable Unit may be terminated if as a result of such annual recertification of income it is determined that the occupant no longer qualifies for occupancy of the Affordable Unit.
2.7.1 No Discrimination. The Owner covenants, by and for itself and any successors in interest, that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of any person or group of persons on account of any basis listed in subdivision (a) or (d) of Section 12955 of the Government Code, as those bases are defined in Sections 12926, 12926.1, subdivision (m) and paragraph (1) of subdivision (p) of Section 12955, and Section 12955.2 of the Government Code, in the sale, lease, sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the Development, nor shall the Owner, itself or any person claiming under or through it, establish or permit any such practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy of tenants, lessees, subtenants, subleases or vendees in the Development.

Code, in the leasing, subleasing, transferring, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the land herein leased, nor shall the lessee, himself or herself or any person claiming under or through him or her, establish or permit any such practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy of tenants, lessees, subleases, subtenants or vendees in the land herein leased.

2.7.3 The Owner shall refrain from restricting the rental or lease of Affordable Units on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, marital status, disability, ancestry or national origin of any person.
2.7.4 The Authority is the beneficiary of the terms and provisions of the covenants herein, both for and in its own right and for the purposes of protecting the interests of the community and other parties, public or private, for whose benefit these covenants running with the land have been provided.
2.8 Security Deposits. The Owner may require security deposits on Affordable Units in amounts which are consistent with applicable law.
2.9 Additional Information; Books and Records. The Owner shall provide any additional information concerning the Affordable Units reasonably requested by the Authority.
The Owner will maintain complete and accurate records pertaining to the Affordable Units throughout the Covenant Period and for a four (4) year period thereafter. The Authority shall have the right upon written notice of no less than two (2) business days to the Owner, at any time during normal business hours of 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, to examine of all books, records or other documents maintained by the Owner or by any of the Owner’s agents which pertain to any Affordable Unit, including all executed leases or occupancy agreements and all Income Certifications, and obtain copies of any requested executed leases, occupancy agreements and Income Certifications within ten (10) business days following such examination and the Authority’s written request. 1141
-9- P6401-0001\2946251v5.doc
2.10 Specific Performance. The Owner hereby agrees that specific enforcement of the Owner’s agreement to comply with the allowable rent and occupancy restrictions and covenants contained herein is one of the reasons and consideration for the Authority having entered into the DDLA, and that, in the event of the Owner’s breach of such requirements, potential monetary damages to the Authority as well as to existing and prospective Extremely Low, Very Low and 59% AMI Low Income Households, would be difficult, if not impossible, to evaluate and quantify.
Therefore, in addition to any other relief to which the Authority may be entitled as a consequence of the breach hereof, the Owner agrees to the imposition of the remedy of specific performance against it in the case of any event of default by the Owner in complying with any provision of this Agreement beyond any applicable notice and cure period.
2.11 Audit. The Authority shall have the right to perform an audit of the Development to determine compliance with the provisions of this Agreement.

The management agent of the Owner and any other contractor of the Owner who provides services to occupants of the Development shall be subject to the reasonable written approval of the Authority. The Owner and/or the management agent (if not the Owner) shall operate the Development in a manner that will provide decent, safe and sanitary residential facilities to the occupants thereof, and will comply with provisions of this Agreement. Upon the written request of the Authority, the Owner shall cooperate with the Authority in the periodic review (but not more than once each calendar year) of the management practices and financial status of the Affordable Units. The purpose of each periodic review will be to enable the Authority to determine if the Affordable Units are being operated and managed in accordance with the requirements and standards of this Agreement. Results of such Authority review shall be provided to Owner, and the Authority shall have the right to require the Owner to make modifications that are reasonably necessary to ensure the objectives of this Agreement are met.

3.3 Early Termination of Restrictions. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Article 3 or any other provisions hereof, this Agreement and all of the terms and restrictions contained herein shall be suspended during involuntary noncompliance as a result of unforeseen events such as fire or act of God which leaves the entire Development uninhabitable (and the proceeds of insurance available to the Owner as a result thereof are insufficient to reconstruct the Development), or a change in a federal or state law or an action by the federal government, the State or a court of competent jurisdiction, after the date of recordation hereof, that prevents the Authority from enforcing the provisions of this Agreement, or a condemnation or a similar event.
ARTICLE 4

4.1 An Event of Default. Each of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” by the Owner under this Agreement:
4.1.1 Failure by the Owner to duly perform, comply with and observe any of the conditions, terms, or covenants of any agreement with the Authority concerning the Development, or of this Agreement, if such failure remains uncured thirty (30) days after written notice of such failure from the Authority to the Owner in the manner provided herein or, with respect to a default that cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, if the Owner fails to commence such cure within such thirty (30) day period or thereafter fails to diligently and continuously proceed with such cure to completion. However, if a different period or notice requirement is specified under any other section of this Agreement, then the specific provision shall control.
4.1.2 Any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or in any application, financial statement, certificate, or report submitted by the Owner to the Authority or the City proves to have been incorrect in any material respect when made.

The Authority shall have the right by mandamus or other suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity to require the Owner to perform its obligations and covenants under this Agreement or to enjoin acts or things which may be unlawful or in violation of the provisions hereof, provided that in any such case the Authority has first provided the required notice of any alleged default and the Owner has had the requisite opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 4.1.1, above.
4.3 Action at Law; No Remedy Exclusive. The Authority may take whatever action at law or in equity as may be necessary to enforce performance and observance of any obligation, agreement or covenant of the Owner under this Agreement.

No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of such right or power, but any such right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as the Authority may deem expedient. In order to entitle the Authority to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as may be herein otherwise expressly required or required by law to be given.

In addition to specific provisions of this Agreement, and except for performance under the DDLA (which is governed by the terms of the DDLA), performance of a construction obligation by any Party hereunder shall not be deemed to be in default where it is due to an “Unavoidable Delay.” “Unavoidable Delay” means a delay due to the elements (including unseasonable weather), fire, earthquakes or other acts of God, strikes, pandemics, labor disputes, lockouts, shortages of construction materials experienced generally in the construction industry in the local area, acts of the public enemy, riots, insurrections or governmental regulation of the sale or transportation of materials, supply or labor; provided, however, that to the extent a delay is caused by any other reason that the Owner reasonably believes is beyond its control, the Owner may request, on a case-by-case basis, that the Authority excuse any such delay as an Unavoidable Delay and the Authority shall make their determinations as to whether such delay constitutes an Unavoidable Delay using their reasonable judgment.

Affordable Development Financing Plan
Chelsea Investment Corporation will form a limited partnership entities as the owner of Arc Village Apartments. Through this related entity, Chelsea will acquire the property, finance and operate the apartments.
Chelsea is proposing to finance the 40-unit development, to be located directly south of Desert Arc, primarily using 9% Low Income Housing Tax Credits (“LIHTC”) equity, a permanent loan from a private bank, a land donation from the Palm Desert Housing Authority, loans from the Palm Desert Housing Authority, and CRDP DDS funding from the Inland Regional Center (IRC). The total development cost is estimated at $23,600,849.
Chelsea brings a long and successful history of developing 9% LIHTC apartments with the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (“TCAC”). TCAC’s application process for the 9% LIHTC is conducted semiannually and is very competitive. Despite this risk, the high yield of the 9% LIHTC makes it an appealing source to pursue for affordable housing. Chelsea intends to mitigate the competitive nature of the allocation program through maximization of the project site amenity, sustainability and services points which are important in the 9% LIHTC application, and assistance from the Palm Desert Housing Authority and the IRC to increase our tiebreaker to a very competitive level.
Chelsea will be applying for $1,515,218 in annual tax credits over 10 years from TCAC. Our investor, The Richman Group, is expected to pay $0.90 per credit for a total investment of $13,636,958. Funding is expected to be as follows:
LIHTC equity (Richman Group) $13,636,958
Solar tax credit equity (Richman Group) $99,659
First Mortgage (Banner Bank) $3,320,000
Land Donation (Palm Desert Housing Authority) $1,600,000 Soft Debt (Palm Desert Housing Authority) $3,000,000
Soft Debt (Inland Regional Center) $1,500,000
Deferred Developer Fee $444,232
Total Development Cost $23,600,849
The first mortgage is underwritten at a 7.65% interest rate with a 35-year amortization and 17-year term. Soft debt is underwritten at 3.0% interest rate and will receive a pro rate share of half of the cash flow after the deferred developer fee is repaid.
A construction loan of approximately $13,457,132 will be used to bridge the tax credit equity and finance the construction of Arc Village. The loan is underwritten at an 8.35% interest rate.
Construction is expected to take 12 months. The loan will be for 24 months to allow for lease up and stabilization after construction completion.
