Subject:
Annexation Into Community Facilities District No. 5 (College Park South (C-2 East and West))
Date:
November 18, 2025
Submitted By:
Megan Bressem, Management Analyst
Daniel Choe, Administrative Services Deputy Director
Department:
Administrative Services - Finance
Recommendation:
Conduct a Public Hearing and Consider the Following Actions:
A
.
Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rocklin of Annexation of Territory to Community Facilities District No. 5 (Annexation No. 81), Authorizing the Levy of a Special Tax, and Submitting Levy of Tax to Qualified Electors (College Park South (C-2 East and West), APNs 045-131-015-000 and 045-131-016-000).
B
.
Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rocklin Declaring Results of Special Annexation Election, Determining Validity of Prior Proceedings, and Directing Recording of Amended Notice of Special Tax Lien Pertaining to Community Facilities District No. 5 (Annexation No. 81) (College Park South (C-2 East and West), APNs 045-131-015-000 and 045-131-016-000).
Background:
On October 14, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-216, a Resolution of Intention to Annex Territory to Rocklin Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 5 (Annexation No. 81) and to Authorize the Levy of Special Taxes Therein regarding College Park South (C-2 East and West). College Park South (C-2 East and West) includes both commercial and residential development and is located on the southerly side of Rocklin Road, east of El Don Drive (Assessor's Parcel Numbers 045-131- 015-000 and 045-131-016-000). A map of the annexation area is included as Attachment 3. A Notice of Public Hearing was published in the Placer Herald on October 24, 2025.
The development of College Park South (C -2 East and West) is conditioned on, among other things, annexation into CFD No. 5. CFD No. 5 finances the operation and maintenance of publicly owned parks, parkways, landscaping and street/parkway lighting.
There are two resolutions for City Council consideration. Resolution A (Attachment 1) finds that no majority protest exists, orders the annexation, and authorizes the levy of the special tax, subject to approval by a two-thirds vote of the landowners.
Item Number PH2.
573
In anticipation of approval of the annexation, the election has already occurred, and Resolution B (Attachment 2) approves the canvass of the election, declares the results of the election, and orders the recording of the amended notice of special tax lien, which gives notice that the land within the project area is now subject to the special tax.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no direct fiscal impact to the General Fund from the staff recommendation.
Annexation into CFD No. 5 would allow special taxes to be levied and collected to pay for services provided to the annexation territory.

Department:
City Manager's Office
Recommendation:
Conduct a Public Hearing and Consider the Following Actions:

B
.
Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rocklin Approving an Affordable Housing Agreement By and Between the City and Pacific Street Housing Associates Nine, L.P., a California Limited Partnership.
Background:
Project Background Information - Original Site and Original Affordable Housing Agreement The City of Rocklin owns multiple properties bounded by Railroad Avenue on the west, Pine Street on the north, Pacific Street on the east and Oak Street on the south. A site map is included for reference as Attachment 8. The approximately 2.8-acre site is comprised of Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 010-121-001, -002, -004, -005, -006, and 010-040-039. These parcels are referred to in this staff report as the Original Site. The Original Site has previously been designated as surplus to be disposed in accordance with the requirements of the Surplus Land Act (Sections 54220-54234 of the California Government Code; herein, together with the implementing Guidelines as referenced below, the Surplus Land Act). The intention of the City has been to use the Original Site, by means of a sale or ground lease, for the development of affordable rental housing.
The City completed the Surplus Land Act process to solicit proposal from firms interested in constructing affordable housing on the Original Site. Several proposals were received. As a result of that process, Community HousingWorks (CHW) was selected to develop the subject property.
Item Number PH3.
584
At the September 27, 2022 City Council meeting, the City Council authorized and approved issuance of a Preliminary Commitment Letter with CHW with respect to the development of the Original Site for affordable rental housing. The Preliminary Commitment Letter committed Two Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,600,000) of Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Funds maintained by the City, subject to the parties entering into a binding agreement containing conditions to disbursement customary in affordable housing agreements. The Preliminary Commitment Letter indicated that the City intended to further negotiate a comprehensive transactional agreement with CHW under which the disposition of a leasehold interest for development of affordable rental housing (the Affordable Housing Agreement, as described below) would be carried out.
At the November 8, 2022 City Council meeting, the City Council approved an Affordable Housing Agreement (the Original AHA) between the City and CHW for the development of 109 units of affordable rental housing, plus one manager’s unit, on the Original Site. The Original AHA contemplated that the City would ground lease the Original Site to CHW or a subsidiary(s) formed by CHW to implement parts of the development of the Original Site.

Approvals
In November 2023, CHW submitted its first design set to the City for review. On March 7, 2024 the project was considered by the Architectural Review Committee (ARC). Prior to the meeting, a sign was posted on the site to notify the public of the meeting. The ARC recommended the project architecture for approval, subject to feedback provided by the ARC.
Following the recommendation, CHW worked with staff to finalize the design. After several rounds of comments and changes, the Design Review was approved by the Community Development Director on May 8, 2025.
The site is located in the Business Attraction, Retention, and Revitalization Overlay (BARRO) Zone. The intent of the BARRO Zone is to provide a process for revitalization of older commercial areas enabling flexible development standards, streamlined approval processes, and reduced application fees. Section 17.59.050 of the Rocklin Municipal Code (RMC) authorizes the Community Development Director to approve applications for entitlements within the BARRO Zone, including Design Reviews and Conditional Use Permits (CUP). While Design Reviews are completely ministerial, pursuant to State Law and the RMC, consideration of a CUP requires a noticed public hearing. For this project, a CUP was necessary to address several conditions, including resident parking on public streets and lots and the inclusion of a previously non-City-owned parcel in the project.
Consistent with the BARRO Zone requirements, staff held a publicly noticed hearing for the CUP on February 4, 2025. Prior to the CUP hearing, notice of the proposed development and the CUP hearing was mailed to the 111 individual addresses within a 600-foot radius of the property. A sign noticing the CUP hearing was also placed on the site in excess of the 10 days prior to the hearing required on site notice.
On November 18, 2025 at 10:00 a.m., staff from CHW and the City will be holding a community workshop discuss the project. Notice of this meeting was provided in the City newsletter and direct mailers were sent to adjacent property owners.

Current
Project
Since the approval of the Original AHA in November, 2022, there have been changes to the project that require an updated AHA. These include:
The purchase and subsequent conveyance of a small parcel (which, when combined with the Original Site, is referred to herein as the “Site”); and The splitting of the project into two distinct legal entities for financing purposes, with each portion of the Site to be separately developed and financed. The separation of the Original Site into more than one piece was contemplated under the Original AHA.
Combined
Site
On February 21, 2023 CHW purchased a parcel that was adjacent to the Original Site. This parcel, APN 010-121-006-000, was the only non-City-owned parcel that now comprises the Project Site. By purchasing the parcel, CHW was able to expand the proposed development to the entire Site, "squaring off" the Site. On September 19, 2025, CHW conveyed the parcel to the City at no cost with the intent that it be included in the overall site plan. On February 25, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-038, which granted the City Manager the authority to adjust the lot lines to incorporate the new parcel into the City’s existing parcels as part of what comprises the Project Site. At the same meeting, the City Council also abandoned an alleyway which had bisected the Site and made it infeasible to construct the project. At the October 28, 2025 City Council meeting, the City Council approved the declaration of the parcel at APN 010-121-006 as exempt surplus so it could be incorporated into the project Site.
Subsequent to this declaration, the lot lines were adjusted to include the newly acquired parcel, resulting in two parcels (which together comprise the Project Site) that correspond to each of the two developments.
Formation of Single-Asset
Entities
The formation of single-asset entities to develop affordable rental projects is common and customary. Consistent with this approach, CHW has created and will be general partner of two entities. Each entity will develop one of the two parcels, with the primary differences being (1) the financing used on the project (4% vs. 9% tax credits) and (2) the required affordability levels as a result of that financing with higher value tax credits requiring greater levels of affordability. CHW applied to the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee for tax credits for each portion of the Site and was awarded both 4% and 9% tax credits. That portion of the Project Site that will be financed in part with 4% tax credits will be developed by Pacific Street Housing Four, LLP (Housing Four). Subject to the satisfaction of conditions precedent showing readiness to proceed, the City will lease a portion of the Project Site to Housing Four. That portion of the Site that will be financed in part with 9% tax credits will be developed by Pacific Street Housing Nine, LLP (Housing Nine). Subject to the satisfaction of conditions precedent showing readiness to proceed, the City will lease a portion of the Site to Housing Nine. Each separate LLP will be responsible for the financing, development, and operation of rental housing on its respective project independent of the other LLP. The City’s original $2,600,000 loan commitment is carried forward to the Housing Four tax credit project; there is no City loan on the other project.
Separate Affordable Housing
Agreements
As a result of the single-asset entity structure, a separate agreement is presented for each proposed development: an Amended and Restated Affordable Housing Agreement with respect to Pacific Street Housing Four, LLP 4% tax credit project, and a (new) Affordable Housing Agreement with respect to the Pacific Street Housing Nine, LLP 9% tax credit project.
The two agreements, as proposed, do not change in the aggregate the unit count, the amount 586
of City funds invested (as a loan), or the unit income and affordability levels. The result of the two agreements, if both are implemented, will be the development and operation of two projects which as combined will provide 109 units of affordable housing at the following Area Median Income (AMI) levels:
Unit Type
Number of Units
Size of Unit (Square
Feet)
Affordability Level
1 Bedroom
12 636

For reference, the 2025 AMI in Placer County for a family of 4 is $120,000. Units in this development will be available to housings at the following income levels:
% of Area Median Income
Annual Household Income
30%
$36,240
50%
$60,400
60%
$72,480
The project is fully financed and it is anticipated that construction will begin in early 2026. Staff recommends the City Council approve the two Affordable Housing Agreements.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no direct fiscal impact to the staff recommendation. The $2.6 million loan from the Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund (Fund 270) has been appropriated in the Fiscal Years 2025-2027 Operating Budget.

If the ownership of the Portion A Site (or Developer’s leasehold interest therein) or any part thereof has vested in the holder, City, if it so desires, shall be entitled to a conveyance from the holder to City upon payment to the holder of an amount equal to the sum of the following:
(a) The unpaid mortgage or deed of trust debt at the time title became vested in the hol der (less all appropriate credits, including those resulting from collection and application of rentals and other income received during foreclosure proceedings); (b) All expenses with respect to foreclosure including reasonable attorneys’ fees;
(c) The net expense, if any, incurred by the holder as a direct result of the subsequent management of the Portion A Site or part thereof; (d) The costs of any improvements made by such holder;

The foregoing rights shall supplement and not limit City’s rights as landlord under the City Lease or by operation of law.

If the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust has not exercised its option to construct, City shall have the right but no obligation to cure the default. In such event, City shall be entitled to reimbursement from Developer of all proper costs and expenses incurred by City in curing such default.
Developer agrees to provide documentation evidencing the relinquishment of any and all rights to the Development and under the City Lease in such event; provided that the failure to provide such documentation shall not be construed to mean that Developer retains any rights under the Agreement or the City Lease.

6.20 Mechanics of Disbursement of the City Loan Amount . Provided that the City Conditions Precedent have first been satisfied, City shall make available moneys from the City Loan Amount as follows: (i) first, moneys will be disbursed to City to defray City Fees (provided that such disbursements shall not be conclusive as to the total amount of fees payable to City in connection with the Improvements), then (ii) moneys will be disbursed to Developer as progress payments based upon the percentage of completion of construction of the Improvements as determined by the City Manager or his or her designee upon consultation with Developer. The further conditions and protocol for payment of the City Loan Amount shall be as follows:
(a) City shall have no obligation to disburse any portion of the City Loan Amount unless and until all of the City Conditions Precedent are first satisfied. (b) City shall not have provided any assistance or other payment pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the acquisition of the Portion A Site and conduct of grubbing and remediation thereon (the “Preliminary Site Work”). Developer assumes all responsibility for any and all costs for the Preliminary Site Work. A portion of those amounts disbursed by City as the City Loan Amount may be applied to defray the cost of the Preliminary Site Work or to reimburse Developer for moneys of the Developer (whether equity or debt) which were theretofore applied for such purpose. (c) Protocol for Disbursement of the City Loan Amount: City shall make available with respect to the Improvements the allocable amount of the City Loan Amount in installments based upon the progress toward completion of the construction of the Improvements with such moneys to be infused ratably with moneys from the Primary Construction Loan, as determined in good faith by the City Manager; provided that amounts to reimburse Developer for Allowable Closing Costs theretofore paid by Developer may be made concurrent with the initial release of moneys from the Primary Construction Loan. Prior to each disbursement of any portion of the City Loan Amount, Developer shall submit to City an “Application for Disbursement” which shall include:
A written, itemized statement, signed by a representative of Developer which sets forth: (i) a description of the work performed, materi al supplied and/or costs incurred or due for which disbursement is requested; and (ii) the total amount incurred, expended and/or due for the requested disbursement.

In the event Developer is required by virtue of such other financing to restrict the affordability of Units in a manner more restrictive than as set forth under the form of City Regulatory Agreement then, from time to time upon receipt of request therefor from the City Manager, Developer agrees to consent to modifications to incorporate such greater restrictions into the City Regulatory Agreement; such request(s) by the City Manager can be made at any time(s) during the Required Covenant Period without regard to whether the City Regulatory Agreement have been recorded.
9.10 Enforced Delay; Extension of Times of Performance . In addition to specific provisions of this Agreement, performance by any party hereunder shall not be deemed to be in Default, and all performance and other dates specified in this Agreement shall be extended, where delays or Defaults are due to: war; insurrection; riots; floods; earthquakes; pandemics; fires; casualties; acts of God; acts of the public enemy; acts or omissions of another party, or acts or failures to act of City or any other public or governmental agency or entity (excepting that acts or failures to act of City shall not excuse performance by City). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, an extension of time for any such cause shall be for the period of the enforced delay and shall commence to run from the time of the commencement of the cause, if notice by the party claiming such extension is sent to the other party within thirty (30) days of the commencement of the cause. Times of performance under this Agreement may also be extended in writing by the mutual agreement of City and Developer. This Section 9.10 shall not be deemed applicable to the City Lease unless expressly incorporated by reference therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall not constitute a basis for enforced delay: the failure of Developer to obtain financing commitments sufficient for the development of the Portion A Site in conformity with this Agreement; the failure to obtain approval of a tentative map or parcel map reasonably acceptable to Developer.
In addition to the foregoing (and without regard to the preceding portion of this Section 9.10), the City Manager shall have the authority, at his or her discretion, to approve extensions on behalf of City to approve extensions of time not to exceed a cumulative total of three hundred sixty -five (365) days.
9.11 Transfers of Interest in Agreem ent or of the Portion A Site. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 8.3 hereof, Section 9.11, and all subsections of this Section 9.11, shall apply to transfers prior to the Leasehold Transfer. Any transfers occurring or proposed after the Leasehold Transfer are subject to the provisions therefor of the City Regulatory Agreement. In the event of conflict between the provisions of this Section 9.11 and the City Lease (concerning transfers of interest), the City Lease shall control.
9.11.1 Prohibition. The qualifications and identity of Developer are of particular concern to City. It is because of those qualifications and identity that City has entered into this Agreement with Developer. For the period commencing upon the date of this Agreement and until the end of the Required Covenant Period, except as otherwise set forth in Section 8.3 hereof, no voluntary or involuntary successor in int erest of Developer shall acquire any rights or powers under this Agreement, nor shall Developer make any total or partial sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment, subdivision, refinancing or lease of the whole or any part of the Portion A Site or the Develo pment thereon (excepting the rental Lease of Units to Occupants) without prior written approval of City, except as expressly set forth herein.
9.11.2 Permitted Transfers. In the event of a proposed assignment by Developer under subparagraphs 9.11.2 through 9.11.3, inclusive, Developer agrees that at least thirty (30) days 653
56 Rocklin Site A Portion, v3
prior to such assignment it shall give written notice to City including a request for approval of such assignment and satisfactory evidence that the assignee has assumed jointly with Developer t he Obligations of this Agreement. In addition, no consent of City shall be required in connection with the transfer of Developer’s leasehold interest in the Portion A Site that occurs by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Permitted Senior L ien to respective holder thereof or to their nominees or assignees exclusive of Developer and CHW. The provisions of this Section 9.11 shall be limited by those transfers permitted in Section 8.3.
(a) Any transfers to an entity or entities in which Developer retains a minimum of fifty-one percent (51%) of the ownership or beneficial interest and retains management and control of the transferee entity or entities or relating to the syndication of Tax Credits or after the Tax Credit period, the removal of the Tax Credit investor. (b) The conveyance or dedication of any portion of the Portion A Site to City or other appropriate governmental agency, or the granting of easements or permits to facilitate construction of the Development.
In the event of a proposed assignment by Developer under subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 9.11.2, inclusive, Developer agrees that at least thirty (30) days prior to such assignment it shall give written notice to City including a request for approval of such assignment and satisfactory evidence that the assignee has assumed jointly with Developer the Obligations of this Agreement. In addition, no consent of City shall be required in connection with the transfer of Developer’s leasehold interest in the Portion A Site that occurs by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Permitted Senior Lien to respective holder thereof or to their nominees or assignees exclusive of Developer and CHW.
9.11.3 City Consideration of Requested Transfer. City agrees that it will consider in good faith a request made pursuant to this Section 9.11 after the achievement of occupancy of ninety percent (90%) or more of the Units in conformity with this Agreement following the issuance by City of a Certificate of Completi on for the last building to be constructed as part of the Improvements, provided Developer delivers written notice to City requesting such approval, the City Regulatory Agreement remain in full force and effect. Such notice shall be accompanied by suffici ent evidence regarding the proposed assignee’s or purchaser’s development and/or operational qualifications and experience, its financial commitments and resources, and the financial terms of such assignment (including the consideration proposed to flow to Developer or Related Entity and/or any of the Principals) in sufficient detail to enable City to evaluate the proposed assignee or purchaser pursuant to the criteria set forth in this Section 9.11, and as reasonably determined by City. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the transfer of limited partnership interests to tax credit investors (or subsequent transfers of limited partnership interests) nor the removal and replacement of Developer’s general partner in accordance with Section 8.3 shall entitle City to receive compensation (in connection with such transfer). City shall evaluate each proposed transferee or assignee on the basis of its development and/or qualifications and experience in the operation of facilities similar to the Development, and its financial commitments and resources, and may reasonably disapprove any proposed transferee or assignee, during the period for which this Section 9.11 applies, which City reasonably determines does not possess sufficient qualifications. An assignment and assumption agreement in form satisfactory to City’s legal counsel shall also be required for all proposed assignments. Developer agrees and acknowledges that in connection with any such assignment approved by City pursuant to this Agreement, Developer shall remain liable for performance pursuant to this Agreement for a period of five (5) Years following such assignment; provided that the five -Year limitation shall not apply (and 654
57 Rocklin Site A Portion, v3
the ongoing liability of Developer shall not be there by limited) in connection with the transfer of limited partnership interests to tax credit investors. Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of Developer’s written notice requesting approval of an assignment or transfer pursuant to this Section 9.11, including assignments that do not require City/City Manager approval, City shall either approve or disapprove such proposed assignment or shall respond in writing by stating what further information, if any, City reasonably requires in order to determine the request complete and determine whether or not to grant the requested approval. Upon receipt of such a response, Developer shall promptly furnish to City such further information as may be reasonably requested. In addition, City will not unreasonably withhold its approval of a transfer made at the conclusion of the tax credit period to Developer and affiliates upon the removal of the tax credit investor, so long as there are no defaults under this Agreement and the transferee agrees to be bound by all ex ecutory provisions of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing portion of this Section 9.11.3, Section 8.3 shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
9.11.4 Successors and Assigns . All of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding upon Developer and its permitted successors arid assigns. Whenever the term “Developer” is used in this Agreement, such term shall include any other permitted successors and assigns as herein provided.

No member, official, officer or employee of City shall be personally liable to Developer, or any successor in interest, in the event of any Default or breach by City or for any amount which may become due to Developer or its successors, or on any obligations under the terms of this Agreement.
9.13 Relationship Between City and Developer . It is hereby acknowledged that the relationship between City and Developer is not that of a partnership or joint venture and that City and Developer shall not be deemed or construed for any purpose to be the agent of the other. Accordingly, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, including the Attachments hereto, City shall have no rights, powers, duties or obligations with respect to the development, operation, maintenance or management of the Development so long as such rights are held by Developer under this Agreement.
9.14 City Approvals and Actions. Whenever a reference is made herein to an action or approval to be undertaken by City, the City Manager is authorized to act on behalf of City unless specifically provided otherwise or the law otherwise requires. When a reference is made herein to an action or approval to be undertaken by City , the City Manager is authorized to act on behalf of City unless specifically provided otherwise or the law otherwise requires.

58 Rocklin Site A Portion, v3
9.17 Non-recourse Liability of Developer . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Project Document, neither Developer nor any of its partners shall be personally liable for any default, loss, claim, damage, expense or liability to any person and the sole remedy against Developer hereunder shall be limited to its interest in the Development, excepting that Developer will be responsible for those liabilities of Developer referenced in Section 6.7.
10. MISCELLANEOUS
10.1 Obligations Unconditional and Independent. Notwithstanding the existence at any time of any obligation or liability of City to Developer, or any other claim by Developer against City, in connection with the Portion A Site or otherwise, Developer hereby waives any right it might otherwise have (a) to offset any such obligation, liability or claim against Developer’s obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation the attachments hereto), or (b) to claim that the existence of any such outstanding obligation, liability or claim excuses the nonperformance by Developer of any of its obligations under the Project Documents.
10.2 Notices. All notices, statements, demands, requests, conse nts, approvals, authorizations, offers, agreements, appointments or designations hereunder by any party to the others (each, a “Notice”) shall be in writing and shall be given either by (i) personal service, (ii) delivery by reputable document delivery service such as Federal Express that provides a receipt showing date and time of delivery, or (iii) mailing in the United States mail, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and addressed as follows:

All communications shall be effective when actually received; provided, however, that nonreceipt of any communication as the result of a change of address of which the sending party was not notified or as the result of a refusal to accept delivery shall be deemed receipt of such communication.
10.3 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties in the Project Documents shall survive the Leasehold Transfer and the rental of the Required Affordable Units and have been or will be relied on by City notwithstanding any investigation made by City.
10.4 No Third Parties Benefited Except for City; AB 987. This Agreement is made for the purpose of setting forth rights and obligations of Developer and City, and no other person (except for City) shall have any rights hereunder or by reason hereof. Except for City, which shall be deemed to be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement (including without limitation the Attachments hereto), there shall be no third party beneficiaries of this Agreement. Developer acknowledges that, notwithstanding the foregoing portion of this Section 10.4, pursuant to AB 987 and the amendments to Health and Safety Code Section 33334.3 made effective as of January 1, 2008 by that bill, it is possible that violations of the covenants, conditions and restrictions relating to affordable housing contained in the City Regulatory Agreement may now be enforceable not only by City, but also by each of the persons and/or entities listed in Section 33334.3(f)(7) of the Health and Safety Code, specifically (1) residents of affordable units subject to covenants recorded pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33334.3(f)(1) (each, a “Covenanted Unit”), (2) the most recent former residents of such a Covenanted Unit, (3) applicants that are Lower Income Households or Extremely Low Income Households that are denied occupancy of such a Coven anted Unit, and (4) persons that are Lower Income Households or Extremely Low Income Households and who are on a waiting list for occupancy of such a Covenanted Unit. The provisions of AB 987 are to be applicable only to the extent required by law. Noth ing in this Section 10.4 or this Agreement (including the Attachments hereto) is intended to provide an enforcement right to any person or entity not specifically made an intended third party beneficiary of this Agreement; any such third party shall be lim ited in their right to enforce affordability restrictions to the extent provided by Health and Safety Code 657
60 Rocklin Site A Portion, v3
Section 33334.3(f). City make s no representation concerning the applicability, vel non , of Section 33334.3 as described in the foregoing portion of this Section 10.4.
10.5 Binding Effect; Assignment of Obligations . This Agreement shall bind, and shall inure to the benefit of, City, Developer and City and their respective successors and assigns. Developer shall not assign any of its rights or obligations under any Project Document without the prior written consent of the City Manager, which consent may be withheld in the City Manager’s sole and absolute discretion; provided that the City Manager shall reasonably consider an assignment to an entity or entities owned or under majority control by Developer or the Principals where Developer pays City’s and City’s costs to review, estimate, process and docu ment such assignment and no other provisions of this Agreement are amended thereby. Any such assignment without such consent shall, at City’s option, be void. In connection with the foregoing consent requirement, Developer acknowledges that City relied upon Developer’s particular expertise in entering this Agreement and continues to rely on such expertise to ensure the satisfactory completion of the Improvements and the use of the Required Affordable Units in conformity with this Agreement.
10.6 Option.
(a) City Option to Acquire Leasehold . Notwithstanding, and in addition to, the remedies provided to City otherwise provided under this Agreement, Developer hereby grants to City the option (“Option”) to purchase Developer’s leasehold interest in the Portion A Site , the Improvements and any other improvements to the Portion A Site (collectively, the “Leasehold Assets”). The purchase Option will begin as of the last day of the fifty -fifth (55th) Lease Year and will continue in effect thereafter for the remainder of the Term. City may, but shall not be required to, purchase the Leasehold Assets for an amount equal to the “Final Value”, as defined below. This Option shall be subordinate to any Approved Construction and/or Permanent Lender and their respective Primary Construction Loan and Primary Permanent Loan, as applicable, and shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon a foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof. (i) Determination of Initial Value . The value of the Leaseho ld Assets will be determined initially by an appraiser selected by City based upon the greater of (a) the value of the Leasehold Assets subject to the restrictions and limitations on the rental of all units on the Portion A Site to Extremely Low Income Households and Lower Income Households as provided under the City Regulatory Agreement, or (b) all then outstanding amounts (principal and accrued and unpaid interest) owing under such financing secured by Developer’s interest in the Project which financing was theretofore approved in writing by City; the amount as so established constitutes the “Initial Value”. The appraiser shall have sixty (60) days to obtain such appraisal and to tender its offer of sale.
(ii) Developer Submittal. Within ten (10) business days after City has transmitted a writing setting forth the Initial Value to Developer, Developer shall deliver in writing to City a writing setting forth: (a) such Developer’s decision to sell the Leasehold Assets to City for an amount equal to the Initial Value; (b) Developer’s opinion of value , if different from that of the Initial Value as described above; or (c) such Developer’s decision to retain an appraiser to provide an opinion of value of the Leasehold Assets. If Developer approves the Initial Value, such amount shall be deemed to constitute the “Final Value.” In the event Developer is obtaining an appraisal, it shall have sixty (60) days to obtain such appraisal and deliver its offer to sell to City based upon such value.
An amount determined under (b) or (c) of this subsection (ii) shall constitute the “Alternative Value.” In the event Developer fails to deliver its written response to City by the time set forth in this subsection 658
61 Rocklin Site A Portion, v3
(ii), then the Initial Value shall be deemed to constitute the “F inal Value.” Notwithstanding the foregoing portion of this Section 10.6, in no event shall the Final Value be deemed to be less than the amount of loans and advances to finance or refinance the Project which loans and advances have been approved by City.
(iii) City Response. Within ten (10) business days after City receives a writing from Developer under subsection (ii) of this Section 10.6(b), City shall notify Developer in writing that: (a) City has elected to open escrow for the purchase of the Leasehold Assets based upon the Initial Value (which shall be applicable in the event Developer agrees that the Initial Value shall constitute the Final Value, or if Developer fails to deliver its written response under subsection (ii) by the time prescribed therefor in such subsection (ii) in which event the Initial Value shall be deemed to constitute the Final Value); (b) City has elected to open escrow for the purchase of the Leasehold Assets treating t he Alternative Value as the Final Value; (c) City has elected to not proceed to exercise its rights to acquire the Leasehold Assets by means of the Option; or (d) City has elected to reject the Alternative Value and instead elects (1) to have the appraiser s who, respectively, determined the Initial Value and the Alternative Value, jointly select a third, independent MAI appraiser (the “Independent MAI Appraiser”) to determine the value of the Leasehold Assets and, if such appraiser fail to reach agreement on the Independent MAI Appraiser, then (2) to have the prepares of the Initial Value and the Alternative Value each designate three (3) MAI appraisers, from which the City Clerk will randomly select one of the MAI appraisers. (iv) Appraiser Determination. In the event the Independent MAI Appraiser is designated, such appraiser shall determine a value for the Leasehold Assets subject to the Appraisal Parameters (the “Independent MAI Value”). Developer and City agree that, in such case, an amount equal to the average of: (a) the Independent MAI Value and (b) whichever of the amount determined under 10.b(b)(i) or (ii) above is closer to the Independent MAI Value, shall be deemed to constitute the “Final Value” for purposes of this Agreement.
In connection with any purchase of the Leasehold Assets under this Section 10.6(b), City shall receive credit for any outstanding indebtedness to City with respect to the Property, including without limitation the City Promissory Note. (v) Implementation of Sale Upon Establishment of Final Value .
Within five (5) working days following the establishment of the Final Value, City shall: (a) deliver its written notice that it elects not to acquire the Leasehold Assets under Section 10.6(b); (b) deliver to Developer both: (1) a written notice of its election to exercise the Option at the Final Value (the “Exercise Notice”), and (2) two (2) copies of City’s standard or customary real estate purchase and sale agreement for income-restricted homes (“Purchase Agreement”), both of which are duly-executed by City . Upon Developer receiving the Exercise Notice and the two (2) duly -executed Purchase Agreements, Developer shall execute both copies of the Purchase Agreement and return one fully - executed original to City. Developer’s failure to execute and deliver a copy of the Purchase Agreement in accordance with this Section 10.6(b)(v) shall not affect the validity of the Purchase Agreement ; in addition, specific performance shall be available to City in such event (without limitation as to ot her rights or remedies) . The Purchase Agreement shall be immediately effective and binding on both Developer and City without further execution by the Parties, on exercise of the Option in accordance with this Section 10.6(b)(v). City may, instead of pur chasing the Leasehold Assets itself, assign its option and right to purchase the Leasehold Assets to City; provided that the Purchase Agreement shall incorporate a price, if greater, equal to the greater of the fair market value of the Leasehold Assets or the amount required to pay off or satisfy all existing debt on the leasehold estate. 659
62 Rocklin Site A Portion, v3
(vi) Purchase Option Does Not Limit Remedies. THE PURCHASE
OPTION SHALL NOT LIMIT ANY REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO CITY UNDER THE AHA,
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION REMEDIES UNDER ONE OR MORE OF THE CITY REGULATORY AGREEMENT OR THE CITY LEASE. Without limitation as to other remedies that are available to City, upon compliance with the foregoing requirements of Section 10.6, the obligation of Developer to convey the Leasehold Assets to City shall be enforceable by specific performance.
10.7 Mandatory Assignment. In the event Developer has not obtained a reservation of tax credits equal to or greater than the Tax Credit Amount by the time set forth therefor in the Schedule of Performance, or if by such time the Developer fails to demonstrate to City that it is obtained binding financing commitments which, together with the infusion of the City Loan, would be sufficient to construct the Project, or if Developer informs City that Developer is unwilling to proceed with the Project on the basis set forth in this Agreement at any time and for any reason, upon giving Developer sixty (60) days to cure or determine that it will proceed to construct the Pro ject on the basis set forth in this Agreement, City reserves the right to assign all rights of Developer herein to a nominee to replace the Developer for all purposes of this Agreement. Such reservation and designation of a substitute developer would be accomplished by writing by City to Developer.
10.8 Counterparts. Any Project Document may be executed in counterparts, all of which, taken together, shall be deemed to be one and the same document.
10.9 Prior Agreements; Amendments; Consents . This Agreement (together with the other Project Documents) contains the entire agreement between City and Developer with respect to the Portion A Site , and all prior neg otiations, understandings and agreements with respect to such matters are superseded by this Agreement and such other Project Documents. The Original Agreement is superseded by this Agreement; the Original Agreement shall hereafter have no further force and effect. No modification of any Project Document (including waivers of rights and conditions) shall be effective unless in writing and s igned by the party or parties against whom enforcement of such modification is sought, and then only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. This Agreement is executed in three (3) duplicate originals, each of which is deemed to be an original. This Agreement includes pages 1 through 63, plus signature pages and Attachments 1 through 1 8, which constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties.
This Agreement integrates all of the terms and conditions mentioned herein o r incidental hereto, and supersedes all negotiations or previous agreements among the parties or their predecessors in interest with respect to all or any part of the subject matter hereof.
All waivers of the provisions of this Agreement must be in writing by the appropriate authorities of City and Developer, and all amendments hereto must be in writing by the appropriate authorities of City and Developer. Whenever this Agreement provides for action by City, the City Manager may act on behalf of City unless the context or applicable law requires otherwise.
10.10 Governing Law. All of the Project Documents shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of California. Developer ir revocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Placer in connection with any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Project Documents. Assuming proper service of process, Developer also waives any objection regarding personal or in rem jurisdiction or venue. 660
63 Rocklin Site A Portion, v3
10.11 Severability of Provisions. No provision of any Project Document that is held to be unenforceable or invalid shall affect the remaining provisions, and to this end all provisions of the Project Documents are hereby declared to be severable.
10.12 Headings. Article and section headings are included in the Project Documents for convenience of reference only and shall not be used in construing the Project Documents.
10.13 Conflicts. To the great feasible extent, the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed as consistent with the Project Documents. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Project Document executed by City, the Project Documents as executed by City shall prevail; provided however that, with respect to any matter addressed in both such documents, the fact that one document provides for greater, lesser or different rights or obligations than the other shall not be deemed a conflict unless the applicable provisions are inconsistent and could not be simultaneously enforced or performed.
10.14 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of all of the Project Documents.
10.15 Conflict of Interest. No member, official or employee of City shall have any direct or indirect interest in this Agreement, nor participate in any decision relating to the Agreement which is prohibited by law.
10.16 Cure by Limited Partner. Limited Partner is not obligated to perform as Developer under this Agreement; however, in the event a breach by Developer is cured by Limited Partner, City will accept such cure. Any cure by Limited Partner shall be accomplished within the time afforded Developer for cure hereunder, excepting that in the event it is necessary to replace the General Partner of Developer in order to effect a cure, Limited Partner shall be afforded an additional reasonable time to replace the General Partner and accomplish the cure.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to contrary effect, approval by the Limited Partner and notice to the Limited Partner shall not be required as of such time as Limited Partner does not hold an interest in the Project or Developer’s rights under this Agreement.
10.17 Warranty Against Payment of Consideration . Developer warrants that it has not paid or given, and will not pay or give, any third person any money or other consideration for obtaining this Agreement.
