STATUS OF COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 34176.1
Section 34176.1 provides that the deadlines in Section 33334.16 do not apply to interests in real property acquired by the Housing Successor on or after February 1, 2012; however, this Report presents a status update on the project related to such real property.
With respect to interests in real property acquired by the former redevelopment agency prior to February 1, 2012, the time periods described in Section 33334.16 shall be deemed to have commenced on the date that the Department of Finance approved the property as a housing asset in the LMIHAF; thus, as to real property acquired by the former redevelopment agency now held by the Housing Successor in the LMIHAF, the Housing Successor must initiate activities consistent with the development of the real property for the purpose for which it was acquired within five years of the date the DOF approved such property as a housing asset.

3575 De La Cruz Boulevard:
On January 29, 2018, the Housing and Community Services Division held a Community Engagement Meeting at the Northside Library to discuss plans for the future development of the City-owned site at 3575 De La Cruz Boulevard. The RFP was issued in June 2018 and on April 9, 2019, Santa Clara’s City Council approved an ENA with Habitat for Humanity Company for the development of 3575 De La Cruz Boulevard. The ENA provided an initial negotiating period of 18 months, commencing on the date of the Agreement was fully executed, which could be extended for two additional periods of six months each by the City Manager upon presentation of a written request from the Developer together with a schedule of tasks to be accomplished during the additional period. Both six-month extensions were authorized by the City Manager. As allowed under the ENA, the City Manager granted two six-month extensions for the ENA on December 14, 2020 and the second on July 12, 2021. Since that time, six additional extensions were signed extending the ENA until December 31, 2025 to allow Habitat for Humanity additional time to prepare a Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) for Council consideration.
DESCRIPTION OF OUTSTANDING OBLIGATIONS PURSUANT TO SECTION 33413 Replacement Housing: According to the FY2009/10 - FY2015/16 Implementation Plan for the former redevelopment agency, no Section 33413(a) replacement housing obligations were transferred to the Housing Successor. The former redevelopment agency’s Implementation Plans are posted on the City’s website at www.santaclaraca.gov There are no existing replacement housing obligations.

The former redevelopment agency’s Implementation Plans are posted on the City’s website at www.santaclaraca.gov There are no existing inclusionary production obligations.
EXTREMELY-LOW INCOME TEST
Section 34176.1(a)(3)(B) requires that the Housing Successor must require at least 30% of the LMIHAF be expended for development of rental housing affordable to and occupied by households earning 30% or less of the AMI. If the Housing Successor fails to comply with the Extremely-Low Income requirement in any five-year report, then the Housing Successor must ensure that at least 50% of the funds remaining in the LMIHAF be expended in each fiscal year following the latest fiscal year following the report on households earning 30% or less of the AMI until the Housing Successor demonstrates compliance with the Extremely-Low Income requirement.
This information was reported in FY 2023-24 report and every five years thereafter. The next report is expected to be in FY 2028-29.
SENIOR HOUSING TEST
The Housing Successor is to calculate the percentage of units of deed-restricted rental housing restricted to seniors and assisted by the Housing Successor, the former redevelopment agency and/or the City within the previous 10 years in relation to the aggregate number of units of deed-restricted rental housing assisted by the Housing Successor, the former redevelopment agency and/or City within the same period. If this percentage exceeds 50%, then the Housing Successor cannot expend future funds in the LMIHAF to assist additional senior housing units until the Housing Successor or City assists and construction has commenced on a number of restricted rental units that is equal to 50% of the total amount of deed-restricted rental units.
The following provides the Housing Successor’s Senior Housing Test for the 10-year period of 7/1/2015-6/30/2025. The aggregate number of units of deed-restricted rental housing restricted to seniors and assisted individually or jointly by the housing successor, its former redevelopment agency, and its host jurisdiction within the previous 10 years did not exceed 50 percent of the aggregate number of units of deed-restricted rental housing assisted individually or jointly by the housing successor, its former redevelopment agency, and its host jurisdiction within the same time period. Therefore, the restrictions under Section 34176.1(b) do not apply. Please note that there were no new deed-restricted senior rental housing units for seniors during this reporting period, so the total percentage of assisted senior housing remains unchanged.
