AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: David C. Moe II, Redevelopment Manager
DATE: October 24, 2013 (CC Meeting of 1116113) '
SUBJECT: Consider Purchase and Sale Agreement Between the City of
Moorpark and Shea Homes, Limited Partnership, Memorializing the
Affordability Requirements for Tract Map No. 5425
BACKGROUND
On May 23, 2005, Shea Homes, Limited Partnership (Shea) and the City of Moorpark
(City) entered into a Development Agreement (DA) for the development of 99 units on
approximately 14.8 acres, generally located south and east of said Fremont Street
consistent with the conditions of approval for Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5425
(TTM 5425) and Residential Planned Development Permit No. 2003-02 (RPD 2003-02),
collectively the Project, and City Council Resolution No. 2005-2304, referred to as the
Conditions of Approval.
Section 6.9 of the DA requires Shea to provide five units to moderate income buyers,
nine units to low income buyers, and six units to very-low income buyers, of
approximately 1,600 square feet at very low, low, and moderate affordable sale prices.
On November 6, 2013, the City Council is scheduled to consider the second reading
and adoption of Ordinance No. 426 amending the DA allowing Shea to pay an in-lieu
fee instead of constructing the moderate income units, converting the six very low
income units to nine low income units, and allowing the option for two of the low income
units to be constructed on adjacent City owned property if mutually agreed upon by
Shea and City.

DISCUSSION
The DA requires the preparation and execution of a Purchase and Sale Agreement
(usually this agreement is titled affordable housing agreement, but the 2005
development agreement referred to it as the purchase and sale agreement) specifying
information pertaining to the affordable units in TTM 5425. This Purchase and Sale
Agreement is to be approved by the City Council prior to the recordation of the final tract
map for the project.
Staff has prepared the Purchase and Sale Agreement which addresses the items in
Section 6.9 of the DA and includes provisions for the City, at its option, to purchase any
of the affordable units, in the event that a qualified low income buyer has not been
identified by the City by the time a Notice of Completion is approved for any of the
affordable units. If the City acquired an affordable unit, the City would then resell the
affordable unit through the City's First Time Home Buyer Program and would cause long
term covenants to be recorded against the properties to ensure their affordability to low-
income households for at least 45 years.
Various other provisions, such as the schedule for providing the units, location of the
affordable units, and moderate income in-lieu fee requirement are included in the
Purchase and Sale Agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact for the preparation of the Purchase and Sale Agreement.
Section 6.9 of the DA requires Shea to pay for the City's direct costs for preparation and
review of the Purchase and Sale Agreement. The City will also be receiving the in-lieu
fee revenue in exchange for the requirement to build moderate income units. This in-lieu
fee revenue will total $127,000 which will be deposited into the City's Affordable
Housing Fund.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Purchase and Sale Agreement, subject to final language approval by the
City Manager and City Attorney; authorize City Manager to execute said Purchase and
Sale Agreement; and direct the City Clerk to cause said Purchase and Sale Agreement
to be recorded in the Office of the Recorder of the County of Ventura.

of the conditions, terms, or covenants of TTM No. 5425 or RPD No. 2003-02, or this
Agreement, or the Development Agreement, if such failure remains uncured ten (10)
days after written notice of such failure from the CITY to the DEVELOPER in the
manner provided herein or, with respect to a default that cannot be cured within ten (10)
days, if the DEVELOPER fails to commence such cure within such ten (10) day period
or thereafter fails to diligently and continuously proceed with such cure to completion.
8.1.2 Any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or in any
certificate or report submitted to the CITY by DEVELOPER proves to have been

(a) adjudging DEVELOPER to be bankrupt or insolvent; (b) approving as properly filed a
petition seeking reorganization of DEVELOPER or seeking any arrangement on behalf
of DEVELOPER under the bankruptcy law or any other applicable debtor's relief law or

upon shall have been returned or released within ninety (90) days after such event
(unless a lesser time period is permitted for cure hereunder) or prior to sale pursuant to
such sequestration, attachment, or execution. If the DEVELOPER is diligently working

338
8.1.5 The DEVELOPER shall have voluntarily suspended its business or
dissolved.
8.1.6 Should there occur any default declared by any lender under any loan
document or deed of trust relating to any loan made in connection with the Project or
property on which Project is to be constructed, which loan is secured by a deed of trust
or other instrument of record.
8.2 DEVELOPER shall pay and promptly discharge when due, at

or permanent financing for the Project), provided that the existence of any mechanic's,
I laborer's, material_man's, supplier's, or vendor's lien or right thereto shall not constitute
a violation of this Section if payment is not yet due under the contract which is the
foundation thereof and if such contract does not postpone payment for more than forty-

encumbrance or charge to be removed and discharged, and shall, in any event, cause
such lien, encumbrance or charge to be removed or discharged not later than sixty (60)
days prior to any foreclosure sale. If DEVELOPER shall fail either to remove and
discharge any such lien, encumbrance or charge or to deposit security in accordance
with the preceding sentence, if applicable, then, in addition to any other right or remedy
of CITY CITY may, but shall not be obl-igated to discharge the same, without inquiring
into the validity of such lien, encumbrance or charge nor into the existence of any
defense or offset thereto, either by paying the amount claimed to be due, or by
procuring the discharge of such lien, encumbrance or charge by depositing in a court a
bond or the amount or otherwise giving security for such claim, in such manner as is or
may be prescribed by law. DEVELOPER shall, immediately upon demand therefor by
CITY, pay to CITY an amount equal to all costs and expenses incurred by CITY in
connection with the exercise by CITY of the foregoing right to discharge any such lien,
encumbrance or charge. To the extent not paid, all costs and expenses paid by the
CITY shall be a lien on the Property pursuant to California Civil Code Section 2881.
8.3 Costs of Enforcement. If any Event of Default occurs, CITY may employ
an attorney or attorneys to protect its rights hereunder. Subject to California Civil Code
Section 1717, DEVELOPER promises to pay to CITY, on demand, the fees and

hereby including without limitation, recording fees, receiver's fees and expenses, and all
other expenses of whatever kind or nature, incurred by CITY in connection with the
default.
