SECTION 26. ACQUIESCENCE No acquiescence, failure or neglect of any party hereto to insist on strict performance of any or all of the terms hereof in one instance shall be considered or constitute a waiver of the rights to insist upon strict performance of the terms hereof in any subsequent instance.

Moe II, Redevelopment Manager ay Date: January 4, 2007 (Agency Meeting of 1117/07) Subject: Consider Approving Relocation Plan for 765 Walnut Street BACKGROUND The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Moorpark ( "Agency ") recently acquired 765 Walnut Street. This site will be aggregated with two other Agency owned properties to produce a one acre parcel for the development of a 20 -25 unit affordable ownership housing project ( "Project "). DISCUSSION The property located at 765 Walnut Street is improved with one, three bedroom single family dwelling and occupied by a very low income household. In order to move forward with the Project, the household will need to be permanently relocated. The proposed displacement triggers relocation assistance obligations under State Relocation Law, California Government Code Section 7260 et seq. and the State Relocation Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 25, Chapter 6 et seq. Whenever all or any portion of a redevelopment project is developed with low or moderate income housing units and whenever any low or moderate - income housing units are developed with any agency assistance or pursuant to Section 33413, the agency shall require by contract or other appropriate means that such housing be made available for rent or purchase to the persons and families of low or moderate income displaced by the redevelopment project. Therefore, the household occupying the dwelling at 765 Walnut Street shall be given priority in buying (or renting if it's a rental project) a comparable unit in the Project. Among the various obligations of the State Relocation Law is the requirement to prepare a relocation plan addressing the circumstances and needs of those persons potentially displaced by the Project. Attachment I is the Relocation Plan ( "Plan ") that has been prepared by Overland, Pacific & Cutler (OPC) in accordance with the specific requirements set out in Section 6038 of the State Relocation Guidelines concerning projects that involve the displacement of less 0000.31 than 15 households. This Plan provides the Project description, the results of a needs assessment survey conducted among residents, a housing resource study and details of the Agency's proposed relocation program. No displacement activities will take place prior to the required reviews and approval of this Plan. On December 21, 2006, Agency Staff consulted with the Project Area Committee (PAC) regarding the proposed relocation outlined in the Plan. The PAC reviewed the Plan and concluded that the tenant occupying 765 Walnut Street is being treated fairly by the Agency. It is estimated that the relocation process should be completed by March 2007. The total cost of permanently relocating the tenant is anticipated to be $7,675, which includes a 10% contingency. RECOMMENDATION Adopt Relocation Plan for 765 Walnut Street.

This parcel will be combined with two other Agency -owned parcels to create an one -acre site for an affordable housing development. To effectuate the development the Agency must permanently relocate one residential household. The household currently occupies a three bedroom unit. The proposed displacement triggers relocation assistance obligations under State Relocation Law, California Government Code Section 7260 et seq. (the Law) and the State Relocation Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 25, Chapter 6 et seq. (the Guidelines). Among the various obligations of the Law is the requirement to prepare a relocation plan addressing the circumstances and needs of those persons potentially displaced by the Project. The following Relocation Plan (the Plan) has been prepared by Overland, Pacific & Cutler (OPC) in accordance with the specific requirements set out in Section 6038 of the Guidelines concerning projects that involve the displacement of less than 15 households. This Plan provides the Project description, the results of a needs assessment survey conducted among residents, a housing resource study and details of the Agency's proposed relocation program. No displacement activities will take place priorto the required reviews and approval of this Plan. A. PROJECT LOCATION The proposed Project will take place in the City of Moorpark (the City) which is located in the southeastern portion of the Ventura County, approximately 40 miles west of downtown Los Angeles. Moorpark is easily accessible from State Routes 23 and 118 and neighbors communities of Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, Camarillo, Somis, Santa Paula, and Fillmore. (See Attachment 1, Figure 1). The specific Project site is located just west of the SR -118 Ronald Reagan Freeway, at the southwestern corner of Walnut Street and Everett Street. General boundaries of the Project are Everett Street to the north, Walnut Street to the east, Moorpark Avenue to the west and Charles Street to the south (See Attachment 1, Figure 2). Overland, Pacific & Cutler, Inc. Page I 000035 Relocation Plan - Affordable Housing Project, Moorpark, California B. ASSESSMENT OF NEEDS Survey information for the Plan was obtained from individual, on -site interview conducted in October 2006 with the affected residential household. A five member household occupies a three - bedroom single family dwelling of approximately 1,000 square feet. The tenants took occupancy of the house in January 1998 and are paying $1,500 monthly in rent with the assistance of the County of Ventura Housing Authority's Section 8 Program. The household reports their ethnicity as Hispanic, and English as primary language. According to income standards for the County of Ventura adjusted for family size as published by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in March 2006, the Project household qualifies as very low income (31%-50% of area median). The household is not considered senior household (head of household or spouse 62 years or older) and has no reported physical disabilities that could affect the relocation process. The household applied for a lottery to purchase a low income unit through the City of Moorpark and would prefer to not relocate twice, if they qualify for the purchase. Prevailing HUD income standards as well as general demographic information for the City are presented in Attachments 2 and 3. C. REPLACEMENT HOUSING RESOURCES A housing resource survey was conducted in October and November 2006 to determine the availability of replacement housing within the County of Ventura Housing Authority's jurisdiction. Only three - bedroom single family residences whose landlords indicated their willingness to participate in the Section 8 Program were considered as appropriate replacement dwelling units. Housing availability survey results are summarized below in Table 1. The data indicate sufficient availability of needed housing units. Overland, Pacific & Cutler, Inc. Page 2 000036 Relocation Plan - Affordable Housing Project, Moorpark, California TABLE 1: Replacement Rental Section 8 Housing Resources Bdrm Size Found (Needed) Range Median 3 30(l) $1,400 - $2,500 $1,850 D. CONCURRENT RESIDENTIAL DISPLACEMENT There are 3 units on Moorpark Avenue that are being removed due to code compliance violations. There are no other known projects involving residential displacements currently underway in the City of Moorpark; therefore, no conflicts for competing housing resources are expected. E. TEMPORARY HOUSING There is no anticipated need for temporary housing. Should such a need arise, the displacing entity will respond appropriately and in conformance with all applicable laws and requirements. F. PROGRAM ASSURANCES AND STANDARDS There are adequate funds available to relocate this one household. Services will be provided to ensure that displacement does not result in different or separate treatment based on race, nationality, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, familial status, disability or any other basis protected by the federal Fair Housing Amendments Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, the California Fair Employment & Housing Act, and the Unruh Act, as well as any other arbitrary or unlawful discrimination. No one will be displaced without a 90 days notice and unless "comparable" replacement housing can be located. "Comparable" housing includes standards such as: decent, safe, Overland, Pacific & Cutler, Inc.

MOORPARK REDEVELOPMENT AGENdY AGENDA REPORT To: Honorable Agency Board of Directors From: David C. Moe II, Redevelopment Manager J� ry Zy : Date: January 4, 2007 (Agency Meeting of 1/17/07) Subject: Consider Approving Replacement Housing Plan for 765 Walnut Street BACKGROUND The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Moorpark (the "Agency ") recently acquired 765 Walnut Street. This site will be aggregated with two other Agency owned properties to produce a one acre parcel for the development of a 25 unit affordable ownership housing project. DISCUSSION The property located at 765 Walnut Street is improved with one, three bedroom single family dwelling. According to Section 33413.5 of the California Redevelopment Law (Health and Safety Code, Section 33000 et seq.), whenever the agency executes an agreement for acquisition of real property, or an agreement for the disposition and development of property which would lead to the destruction or removal of dwelling units from the low and moderate income housing market, agency is required to adopt a replacement housing plan ( "Plan "). The attached Plan ( "Attachment I ") identifies the impacts the redevelopment project will have on the community's supply of very-low, low and moderate income housing and details the measures that the agency will take to ensure that the appropriate replacement housing is produced within the four year time limit. The replacement dwelling units must have an equal or greater number of bedrooms from the removed units and shall be located within the redevelopment project area or within the territorial jurisdiction of the agency (city limit). The replacement units shall also be made affordable to the same income level of very -low income, low income and moderate income households, as the persons displaced from those destroyed or removed units. The Agency has several options available to provide replacement housing to mitigate the loss of the unit at 765 Walnut Street, including acquisition, rehabilitation, new construction, and the allocation of "banked" dwelling units 000049 from prior development activity. The Agency's banked dwelling units /bedrooms are sufficient to satisfy the required very low income replacement housing obligation. Therefore, the Agency's surplus number of very low income units will be reduced by one unit and three bedrooms in order to satisfy the Agency's replacement housing obligation.

SUMMARY .................................... ............................... 12 000OS2 I. INTRQDUCTIQ] The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Moorpark (the "Agency ") intends to proceed with its plans for the Affordable Housing Project (the Project) and has acquired one 15,000 square foot parcel improved with one single family unit. The Project will require the razing of one affordable housing unit. Section 33413.5 of the California Redevelopment Law (Health and Safety Code, Section 33000 et seq.) requires a redevelopment agency to adopt a replacement housing plan whenever the agency executes an agreement for acquisition of real property, or an agreement for the disposition and development of property which would lead to the destruction or removal of dwelling units from the low and moderate income housing market. The plan should identify the impacts that a particular redevelopment project will have on the community's supply of very-low, low and moderate income housing and detail the measures that the agency will take to ensure that the appropriate replacement housing is produced within the four year time limit. Section 33413(a) of the California Redevelopment Law requires that whenever dwelling units housing persons and families of very-low, low or moderate income are destroyed or removed from the very-low, low and moderate income housing market as part of a redevelopment project, which is subject to a written agreement with a redevelopment agency orwhere financial assistance has been provided, the agency shall within four years of the destruction or removal, rehabilitate, develop, construct, or cause to be rehabilitated, developed, or constructed, for rental or sale to persons and families of very-low, low or moderate income, an equal number of replacement dwelling units at affordable housing cost within the redevelopment project area orwithin the territorial jurisdiction of the agency. When dwelling units are removed after January 1, 2002, 100% of the replacement dwelling units shall replace dwelling units in the same income level of very-low income households, lower income households and persons and families of low and moderate income, as the persons displaced from those destroyed or removed units. Demolished or converted, occupied or vacant occupiable, very -low, low and moderate income units must be replaced with units of an equal number of bedrooms from the removed units. The units must be within the agency's jurisdiction, in standard condition, and designed to remain affordable to very-low, low and moderate income households, respectively for a minimum of the longest feasible time, as determined by the agency, but Replacement Housing Plan pine 1 000053 for no less than the period of the land use controls established in the redevelopment plan, unless a longer time period is applicable under the Health & Safety Code §33413(c). The Redevelopment Plan for Agency's Moorpark Redevelopment Project Area is scheduled to expire in July 2034. Pursuant to the passage of Assembly Bill No. 637, however, "affordable" units provided by an Agency post- January 1, 2002 are required to have affordability covenants for minimum, fixed -time periods irrespective of the life of any one Project Area or Agency (and the term of applicability of the land use controls). Specifically, Section 33413(c) established those time limits at 45 years for ownership units and 55 years for rental housing. The unit is anticipated to be removed by April of 2007 and the replacement unit must be provided within a four year time frame. Therefore, the replacement unit must be available by April of 2011, or four years from the time the existing unit is removed. This Replacement Housing Plan (the "Plan ") has been prepared by the Agency as a result of proposed redevelopment of property located in the Project and to satisfy the requirements for replacement housing contemplated under the California Redevelopment Law. This Plan describes the following: 1) Proposed Project, 2) General location of the very-low, low and moderate income dwelling units which will, or may be, removed or destroyed as a result of the Project, 3) General location and intentions for the development of the replacement housing, 4) Means of financing such development, 5) Schedule for the construction of the replacement housing, and 6) Period for which these units will remain affordable. Replacement Housing Plan Page 2 1 000054 II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND LOCATIOP PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Moorpark has acquired a 15,000 square foot parcel improved with one single family dwelling. This parcel will be combined with two other Agency owned parcels to create an one -acre site for an affordable housing development. To effectuate the development the Agency must permanently relocate one residential household. The household currently occupies a three bedroom unit which will need to be replaced. The Agency plans to develop the site as a 20 -25 unit affordable housing development. The Agency intends to fully replace the existing low income unit that will be removed, totaling three bedrooms. Preparation of this replacement housing plan outlines the Agency's timetable, funding and methods for the replacement of the unit and bedrooms. PROJECT LOCATION The proposed Project will take place in the City of Moorpark (the City) which is located in the southeastern portion of the Ventura County, approximately 40 miles west of downtown Los Angeles. Moorpark is easily accessible from State Routes 23 and 118 and neighbors communities of Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, Camarillo, Somis, Santa Paula, and Fillmore. (See Attachment 1, Figure 1). The specific Project site is located just west of the SR -118 Ronald Reagan Freeway, at the southwestern corner of Walnut Street and Everett Street. General boundaries of the Project are Everett Street to the north, Walnut Street to the east, Moorpark Avenue to the west and Charles Street to the south (See Attachment 1, Figure 2).

UNITS TO BE REPL'ACI A personal survey was conducted with residents of the occupied unit and information obtained from publicly available sources and property appraisal was made available in order to verify the number of bedrooms for the Project dwelling unit. This Replacement Housing Plan analysis will considerone occupied single - family dwelling. Per the California Redevelopment Law, 100% of the very low to moderate income dwelling units shall be replaced with dwelling units having an equal number of bedrooms available at the respective very-low to moderate income levels. Bedroom Survey by Income Level Table 1 defines the number of dwelling units and bedrooms that will be displaced and the 100% requirement for replacement by income level. The numbers under each household income category indicate the total households displaced (the number of dwelling units) and the numbers in parenthesis indicate the total number of bedrooms displaced for each income level by bedroom size. Table 1 further defines the number of bedrooms necessary to meet the requirements of the 100% replacement criteria. Table 1: Displaced Households by Bedroom Size & Income Level Household Size very -Low Low Moderate Nonrestricted Totals Income Income Income Income Three Bedroom 1 0 0 1 Households (3) (0) (0) (3) (# Bedrooms) 100 °l0 (3) (0) (0) (0) Replacement: (# Bedrooms) As a result, there are a total of three bedrooms in one three - bedroom residential unit that need to be rehabilitated, developed, or constructed pursuant to Section 3341.3(a) of the Replacement Housing Plan Page 5 00005x? Community Redevelopment Law. Based on the 100% replacement criteria by income level, it has been determined that all three replacement bedrooms should be affordable to very- low income households. As described in Table 2, following, through November 30, 2006 the Agency has previously created or has planned for the creation of the following net number of affordable housing units /bedrooms.

ANNUAL INCOME RESTRICT California Health and Safety Code Sections 50079.5 and 50105 provide that the moderate, low and very-low income limits established by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ( "HUD ") are the state limits for those income categories. Sections 50079.5 and 50105 direct the Department of Housing and Community Development ( "HCD ") to publish the income limits. HUD released new income limits in March 2006. Accordingly, HCD has filed with the Office of Administrative Law, amendments to Section 6932 of Title 25 of the California Code of Regulations. The amendments contain the new HUD income limits prepared by HCD pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 50093. The following figures, shown in Table 3, are approved for use in the County of Ventura to define and determine housing eligibility by income level: Table 3: Housing Eligibility by Annual Income Level Area Median: $79,500 Family Size Very Low Lower Median Moderate' _ - 1 Person 28,200 45,150 55,700 66,800 2 Person 32,250 51,600 63,600 76,300 3 Person 36,250 58,050 71,600 85,900 4 Person 40,300 64,500 79,500 .95,400 5 Person 43,500 69,650 85,900 103,000 6 Person 46,750 74,800 92,200 110,700 7 Person 1 49,950 79,950 98,600 118,300 8 Person ° 53,200 85,100 104,900 125,900 Replacement Housing Plan pine 7 000059 V. LOCATION OF REPLACEMENT HOUSING The Agency has several options available to provide replacement housing to ameliorate the impact of the Project, including acquisition, rehabilitation, new construction, and the allocation of "banked" dwelling units from prior development activity. As described in Table 1, earlier, the implementation of the proposed Project will result in the removal of a total of one "affordable ", residential dwelling unit, with the applicable bedroom /room counts and income affordability levels as indicated. The Agency's previously funded affordable housing projects provide surplus dwelling units and bedrooms that can be allocated by the Agency for future housing obligations. The Agency has a sufficient numberof "banked" dwelling units /bedrooms to satisfy the required very low, lower and moderate income replacement housing obligation for the Project. Assuming an assignment of the Agency's replacement obligation identified for the subject Project to the aforementioned "bank" of housing Table 4, following, assigns that allocation to the appropriate income category and shows the net balance of affordable housing accruing to the Agency.

FINANCING THE REPLACEMENT HOUSING The Redevelopment Plans that were created for the Moorpark Redevelopment Project Area authorize the Agency to finance its activities with assistance from actual sources, including the City of Moorpark, State of California, United States Government, property tax increment funds, interest income, Agency bonds, or other available sources. In the acquisition, construction and /or rehabilitation of the affordable housing units identified in the preceding section, the Agency may utilize a variety of funding sources to finance these activities. Sources that may be utilized include: State or Federal grants and loans, including, but not limited to; HUD Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds; HOME grants; various mortgage subsidy or guarantee programs, including Section 202 and programs offered by the California Housing Financing Agency (CHFA); tax increment funds; below market rate financing through the sale of tax exempt mortgage revenue bonds; redevelopment twenty percent set -aside funds; and developer funds. Specific funding for future replacement housing units may be through the use of any combination of the above described methods and sources. In addition to the financing methods listed, the Agency may utilize density bonuses in exchange for covenanted units in the Project area. Replacentenl Housing Plan Page 9 M� • Article XXXIV of the California Constitution requires voter approval of all low -rent housing projects that are developed, constructed, or acquired by public entity. However, under Section 37001 of the California Health and Safety Code, which implements this Constitutional mandate, the replacement housing identified in this Plan is not a "low -rent housing project" as defined in Section 2 of Article XXXIV of the California Constitution. It is hereby found and determined that the replacement housing to be developed and constructed under this replacement housing plan does not require approval of the voters of the City of Moorpark pursuant to Article XXXIV of the California Constitution. Neither ownership housing, nor rental housing are "low rent housing projects" as described in Article XXXIV, and Section 37001 (b) of the California Health and Safety Code. All such replacement housing will be privately owned, and will not be exempt from real property taxes by reason of public ownership and will not be financed with direct long term financing from a public body. In addition, the Agency will not "develop, construct, or acquire" housing as described in Section 1 of Article XXXIV of the State Constitution because it may provide developers assistance and monitoring construction by imposition of mandated or authorized conditions. Replacement Housing Plan Page 10 00000 2 VIII. TIME TABLE FOR REPLACEMENT HOJSING The Agency has provided a considerable degree of continuing support in the construction and /or rehabilitation of replacement housing units sufficient to address the replacement requirements of affordable housing discussed in this Plan. It is the intent of the Agency to use "banked" units from previously developed housing units to fulfill its replacement housing requirement. The Agency acknowledges that replacement housing units must be affordable in the same, or lower income categories than those being razed or otherwise removed from the City's housing inventory and will ensure that this result is realized. Further, any units developed as replacement housing units will be completed within four years and will remain income - restricted for the appropriate period as required by law. Replacement Housing Plan pine 11 0000C3 IX. SUMMARY In summary, a total of three bedrooms in one dwelling unit will be removed as a result of the Project, as planned. Based on the 100% replacement criteria by income level, Agency through a variety of replacement housing options will replace the three bedrooms affordable to very-low income households by using previously developed housing units. The result of the above actions will yield the required number .of replacement dwelling units as mandated under California Redevelopment Law and the Housing and Community Development Act. The Agency recognizes its legal and community responsibilities in this matter and will make a sincere, good -faith effort to accomplish these goals. The Agency retains its option to use other approaches and strategies not discussed herein to fulfill its replacement housing obligations in a timely manner.

W MOORPARK REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY' s� AGENDA REPORT � �a�y"'��Q���• Honorable Agency Board of Directors Dy . L/h David Moe, Redevelopment Manager DU Nancy Burns, Senior Management Analyst January 10, 2007 (CC Mtg. of January 17, 2007) Consider Issuance of a Request for Qualifications from Developers for a High Density Residential Ownership Project On September 22, 2006, the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Moorpark acquired the property at 765 Walnut Street, consisting of one lot with a residential structure and separate garage on it. The property is currently zoned R -1 (single family residential) and is located at the southwest corner of Walnut and Everett Streets. Adjoining properties acquired previously by the Agency include 798 Moorpark Avenue (currently the Public Works office) which is zoned C -O (commercial office), and the former fire station at 782 Moorpark Avenue which is zoned I (institutional). The Agency acquired these properties at a total net cost of approximately $1,075,383. DISCUSSION These three properties combined are approximately one acre ( "Site "). Agency staff believes the site is suitable for a residential- ownership project developed at a density of about 20 -25 units per acre. Nearby developments in the downtown area of the City include Waterstone at 16.2 dwelling units per acre, Vintage Crest at 20 dwelling units per acre, and Wood Creek Apartments at 17.56 dwelling units per acre. The Agency -owned site referenced above provides a suitable parcel for residential ownership development at a density comparable to that which is proposed for a multi - family rental development on the north side of Everett. The application for the development of that property was submitted in December 2005 and requests 25 units per acre. 00000 Moorpark Redevelopment Agency January 17, 2007 Page 2 Staff recommends razing the structure at 765 Walnut and the garage on that property and clearing same, leasing 798 Moorpark Avenue at market rate, and allowing use of the rear building at 782 Moorpark Avenue by the American Legion at terms which include $1.00 per year lease, with utilities to be paid by tenant, and waiver of relocation benefits. The former fire station building will be maintained for storage purposes. Staff would like to issue a Request for Qualifications to developers interested in high- density residential infill developments. Staff believes that future development of the site as a high- density ownership project will provide a satisfactory transition of residential land uses from the proposed multi - family rental development to the north and the single - family neighborhood to the south. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Authorize razing of both structures at 765 Walnut and clearance of the property, and securing a market rate tenant for 798 Moorpark Avenue; authorize the Executive Director to execute lease of rear building at 782 Moorpark Avenue to the American Legion at $1.00 per year; direct staff to issue a Request for Qualifications from developers for a high- density residential- ownership project.
