Colin & iiiQFii ^t; 4CTION:_ z6oazd TO: Honorable City Council FROM: Jessica Sandifer, Management Analys DATE: November 9, 2011 (CC Mtg. November 16, 2011) SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Authorizing Submittal of Application to County of Ventura for Allocation of FY 2012113 HOME Funds BACKGROUND In 2010, the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Moorpark purchased two contiguous properties on First Street and subsequently transferred them to the City of Moorpark for a future affordable housing use. Staff is proposing to build four rental units affordable to very-low and low income families on these two properties utilizing the density bonus provision of the City's zoning ordinance for 100% affordable projects. DISCUSSION Staff is proposing to apply for $150,000 in HOME Funds from the Ventura County entitlement area allocation to pay for architectural costs associated with designing and building this rental project. If the City is awarded funds, we are required to begin construction on the project within 12 months of signing the funding agreement. As a part of the application process, the City needs to adopt a resolution authorizing the submittal of an application to the County of Ventura for these funds. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact at this time, since the Council's action is only authorizing the application for the funding. If the City is awarded the allocation of funds, there will be a requirement for a 25% match which could be paid from City Housing Funds or Redevelopment Affordable Housing funds.
