SUMMARY ................................ .............................12 Resolution No. 2003 -110 Page 5 I. INTRODUCTION The Moorpark Redevelopment Agency (the "Agency') has purchased the mobile home park located at 83 High Street, in the City of Moorpark, with the intent to further develop the Moorpark Civic Center. In addition, the City intends to initiate negotiations for the purchase of a single family residence with two dwellings that is contiguous to the park, for the expansion of the Civic Center. A third and fourth parcel, which are already owned by the Agency, will be incorporated into this project. Each of these parcels, 213 E. Los Angeles Avenue and 661 Moorpark Avenue, has a single family residence. The real property that has been or will be acquired will cause the permanent displacement of thirty - two (32) residential households. The mobile home park, with twenty- eight(28) mobile homes, of which twenty- four(24) are owner occupied. Of the four single family residences, all are tenant occupied. This represents the maximum number of parcels and households that may be impacted by the Project. The acquisition and relocation components of the Project are expected to take place over a twelve month period that began in April of this year. 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 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. Agencies have two options for producing replacement housing pursuant to Sections 33413(a) or 33413(f) of the California Redevelopment Law. Section 33413(a) of the California Redevelopment Law requires that whenever dwelling units housing persons and families of low or moderate income are destroyed or removed from the low and moderate income housing market as part of a redevelopment project, which is subject to a written agreement with a redevelopment agency or where financial assistance has been provided, the agency shall within four (4) years of the destruction or removal; rehabilitate, develop, or construct, or cause to be rehabilitated, developed, or constructed, for rental or sale to persons and families of low or moderate income, an equal number of replacement dwelling units at affordable housing cost within the redevelopment project area or within the territorial jurisdiction of the agency. Because the dwelling units will be removed after January 1, 2002, one hundred percent (100 %) of the replacement dwelling units shall be available at affordable housing cost to, and occupied by, persons in the same or a lower income category (very low, low and moderate) as the persons displaced from those destroyed or removed units. REPI.ACEMEN "r HOUSING PLAN PAGE 1 Resolution No. 2003 -110 Page 6 Notwithstanding Section 33413(a), Section 33413(f), states that an Agency may replace destroyed or removed dwelling units with fewer number of replacement dwelling units if the replacement units meet both of the following criteria: (1) the total number of bedrooms in the replacement dwelling units equals or exceeds the number of bedrooms in the destroyed or removed units, and (2) the replacement units are affordable to the same income level of the households as the destroyed or removed units. The replacement units are to remain available at affordable housing costs to very low, low and moderate income households, respectively for the longest feasible time, but not less than 55 years for rental units and 45 years for owner occupied units pursuant to Health & Safety Code §33413(c). The units in the High Street Project are anticipated to be removed by the Spring of 2003 and the replacement units must be provided within four years of the removal date. Therefore, all replacement units must be completed by the Spring of 2007. This Replacement Housing Plan (the "Plan") has been prepared by the Agency as a result of proposed redevelopment of properly 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 and number 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 number of replacement dwelling units planned for construction and/or rehabilitation, 4) Means of financing such development, 5) Schedule for the construction of the replacement housing, 6) Period for which these units will remain affordable, and 7) A finding that the replacement housing does not require approval of the voters pursuant to Article XXXIV of the California Constitution REPLACEMENT I IOUsrNG PLAN PAGE 2 Resolution No. 2003 -110 Page 7 II. PROJECT LOCATION The Project is generally located in the City of Moorpark, County of Ventura directly west of Moorpark Avenue and north of High Street. The subject properties are contiguous to the Moorpark Civic Center. On the following pages please find: Figure 1 - Regional Project Setting, and Figure 2 -High Street Project and L.A.

UNITS TO BE REPLACED Survey of Dwellings Units to be Removed A door to door survey and interviews of the occupants residing in potentially destroyed dwellings were conducted from October 2001 through January 2002, and August 2002. In addition, information obtained from publically available sources and property appraisals was reviewed and analyzed. Information obtained from these sources was used to determine the number of bedrooms and gross household income for each displaced dwelling unit. Replacement Housing Requirements Per the California Redevelopment Law as discussed in Section I - Introduction, the Agency shall make available 100 percent (100 %) of the replacement dwelling units at affordable housing cost to, and occupied by, persons in the same or a lower income category (very low, low and moderate) as the persons displaced from those destroyed or removed units. Table 1, below, defines the number of dwelling units, with corresponding number of bedrooms, that will be displaced and the 100% requirement for replacement dwelling units and number of bedrooms by income level. The numbers under each household income category indicate the total households displaced (the number of dwelling units) by dwelling unit size (the number of bedrooms). For this Project, the thirty -two (32) households were found to have the following mix of dwelling unit sizes categorized by the number of bedrooms: twenty -two (22) one - bedroom, seven (7) two - bedroom, two (2) three bedroom and one (1) four - bedroom. In addition, the survey found twenty (20) very low, seven (7) low, and five (5) moderate income families residing in the thirty-two dwelling units. The results suggest that 46 replacement bedrooms need to be rehabilitated, developed, or constructed pursuant to Section 33413(a) of the Community Redevelopment Law. Based on the criteria of replacing all bedrooms by income level, twenty (24) replacement bedrooms should be affordable to very low- income households, twelve (12) replacement bedrooms should be affordable to low - income households, and ten (10) bedrooms should be affordable to moderate- income households. These bedrooms may be constructed with a fewer number of dwelling units as long as the total number of bedrooms are in the same or a lower income category.

ANNUAL INCOME RESTRICTIONS 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. The following figures, shown in Table 2, are approved for use in the County of Ventura to define and determine housing eligibility by income level.

FINANCING THE REPLACEMENT HOUSING The Redevelopment Plan that was created for the High Street Redevelopment Project Area authorizes the Agency to finance its activities with assistance from or through a variety of funding sources, including the County of Ventura, 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 and/or Federal grants and loans, including, but not limited to; HOME grants; various mortgage subsidy or guarantee programs, including Section 202 and programs offered by the California Housing Financing Agency (CalHFA); tax increment funds; below market rate financing through the sale of tax exempt mortgage revenue bonds (individually or pooled); 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. VII. NON - APPLICABILITY 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 in that the replacement housing units meet one or more of the exemption criteria. With respect to the replacement housing units, Article XXXIV also provides for the Agency to conduct activities which may provide developers assistance in financing, acquisition of land, leasing of existing dwelling units, monitoring construction of rehabilitation by imposition of mandated or authorized conditions, and/or other assistance consistent with the Article. RF.PI.ACEMENr HOUSING PLAN PAGE I I Resolution No. 2003 -110 Page 16 VIII. TIME TABLE FOR REPLACEMENT HOUSING The Agency shall complete the construction of replacement housing units necessary to fulfill the affordable dwelling units discussed in this Plan. All units created as replacement housing units shall be completed within four (4) years from the date of destruction and shall remain income restricted for a period as required by law. IX. SUMMARY In summary, a total of Forty-six (46) bedrooms in thirty-two (32) dwelling units will be removed as a result of the construction of the Project, causing certain replacement housing obligations. Based on the dwelling units/bedrooms proposed to be destroyed for the Project, the Agency shall provide for the replacement housing obligations in the following manner: Utilizing twenty -four (24) of the very-low income bedrooms, twelve (12) of the low - income bedrooms, and ten (10) of the moderate - income bedrooms that have been created, and/or are anticipated to be created in future affordable housing projects.
