CONSENT CALENDAR: STUDY SESSION: PUBLIC HEARING: Approve the plans, specifications, and engineer's estimate (PS&E) and authorize staff to advertise the bid of the SilverRock Resort Golf Cart Bridges, Project No. 2002-07E. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) 2003/2004 budget included funds for construction of the SilverRock Resort project. On October 7, 2003, the project budget was revised to include $150,000 for three (3) golf cart bridges to cross the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) Canal that bisects the project site. Originally, the three (3) golf cart bridges were to be designed at a load rating of five (5) tons. However, both Palmer Course Design Company and Landmark Golf Management recommended that one bridge be rated at ten (10) tons to accommodate heavier maintenance equipment as well as any emergency vehicles that may need to cross the canal. This increased the estimated cost of this,bridge _ by $21,000. Additionally, City Council requested that end pillars be included, which added approximately $3,700 to the cost of each bridge. The engineer's estimate for the construction of three (3) golf cart bridges is $206,500 including a 5% contingency. With the Agency's approval, this $66,500 increase in the cost could be funded from the $5,463,000 contingency approved for the entire project, if necessary, after bids are opened. Inspection for these improvements is included with Heinbuch Golf's construction administration contract. S:\CityMgr\STAFF REPORTS ONLY\5-4-04\C 10 SRR Bridge.doc Since this project will be constructed with Agency funds, the contractor will be required to pay prevailing wages. RACKOROUND AND OVERVIEW: The City Council approved the Fiscal Year 2003/2004 CIP on May 20, 2003. This year's CIP includes the construction of the SilverRock Resort Phase I Improvements. This project consists of constructing three (3) golf cart bridges across the CVWD All American Canal, which bisects the project site. Two of the bridges will be rated at five (5) tons to carry normal golf cart traffic and one bridge will be designed to a ten (10) ton capacity for heavier maintenance equipment and any emergency vehicles that may need to cross the canal. On February 3, 2004, the Agency considered the design of the three (3) bridges as presented by T.Y. Lin International, bridge consultant for the civil engineer of the project. At that time, the Agency approved Design Concept #1 (Attachment '2) with metal pillars at each corner (Attachment 3), which have been included in the design of the bridge. Although not specifically addressed at the meeting, Design Concept #1 depicted a bridge with camber. For bridges this short (32 feet to 46 feet) the designer recommends a flat bridge with no noticeable camber (Attachment 4) . The PS&E are now complete and available for review within the Public Works/Engineering Department. Contingent upon Agency approval of the PS&E, the following is the project schedule: Approval of PS&E Bid Period Construction Award Construction Period FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES: May 4, 2004 .

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None for this action. A budget of $4,975,900 is available for perimeter and entry street improvements. A budget of $2,400,000 is available for the temporary clubhouse and maintenance facility. Included within these budget items are funds for landscape improvements. Upon completion of the plans and specifications for these improvements and prior to requesting Agency Board authorization to bid, a detailed cost estimate will be submitted with the bid package. BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW: In December 2003, the Agency Board approved the conceptual perimeter and entry concept plans for SilverRock Resort, prepared by GMA International. In February 2004, the Agency Board approved a Professional Services Agreement with Pinnacle Design Company to prepare construction plans, specifications, and cost estimates for perimeter, entry road, temporary clubhouse, and maintenance facility landscape improvements in conformance with the GMA International concept plan. Pinnacle has completed the preliminary design phase of their assignment and seeks Agency Board approval prior to preparation of the final bid documents. Pinnacle will be presenting the preliminary design, including exterior berm geometrics, multi -purpose trail locations, entry signage locations and the proposed plant palette for the Avenue 52 Entry, Avenue 52, Jefferson Street, and Avenue 54 (Attachment 1). Pinnacle is also the landscape architect, as a sub -consultant to Palmer Course Design Company, and as such, has attempted to create a seamless transition from the golf course to external landscape improvements. Preliminary landscape plans for the temporary clubhouse (Attachment 2) and maintenance facility (Attachment 3) were considered and approved by the Architecture and Landscape Review Committee on April 7, 2004, and subsequently approved by the Planning Commission at its April 13, 2004 meeting. Pinnacle's presentation at the RDA meeting will include color display boards and renderings of their landscape designs, as well as options for perimeter fencing. FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES: The alternatives available to the Agency Board include: 1. Approve the SilverRock Resort perimeter, entry road, temporary clubhouse, and maintenance facility landscape design for Phase I of SilverRock Resort; or 2.

FISCAL IMPACT: None. The Replacement Housing Plan describes how the Agency will replace affordable housing units as a result of the Vista Dunes redevelopment project. The costs related to replacing these housing units, as described in the Replacement Housing Plan, were discussed and approved when the Vista Dunes redevelopment project and the Hammer property purchase activities were authorized by the Agency Board. BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW: The La Quinta Redevelopment Agency has been actively implementing affordable housing projects and programs that rehabilitate existing, and produce new, affordable housing units. Since 1993, the Agency has secured 894 dwellings that will remain affordable to very low-, low- and moderate -income households for 30 to 55 years. Per the Redevelopment Law, the Agency has the obligation to secure an additional 1,033 affordable dwellings by 2040. To assist in this endeavor, in November 2003, the Agency Board authorized staff to acquire the Vista Dunes Mobile Home Park in order to redevelop the property with 82 new single-family dwellings that would be affordable to very low- and low-income family households for 55 years. This effort will result in the displacement of dwellings that are affordable to very low-, low- and moderate -income households. The California Community Redevelopment Law requires the Agency to prepare and adopt a replacement housing plan that identifies how the Agency will replace these units within four years following their removal. G:\WPDOCS\CC Stf Rpts\VDMHP\SR Replacement Plan5-04.doc 1 Attachment 1 contains the Replacement Housing Plan for the Vista Dunes Affordable Housing Project. The Replacement Housing Plan presents the: • legal requirements for preparing a Replacement Housing Plan • replacement housing obligations generated by the Vista Dunes Affordable Family Housing Project • new housing opportunities the Agency will facilitate to generate dwellings that satisfy the Agency's replacement housing obligations • timetable for meeting the replacement housing obligations • means of financing the replacement housing obligations, and • impact Article 34 of the California Constitution may have on the Agency's ability to generate replacement housing dwellings. TI 9: ar e Vista Dunes Affordable Family Housing Project will generate a need to replace dwellings that are affordable to very low-income households. These dwellings configured as follows: Bedrooms Units Travel trailers/1 bedroom mobile homes 20 1 bedroom mobile homes 46 3 bedroom mobile homes 23 4 bedroom mobile homes 3 Pe r the Redevelopment Law, the Agency may apply either of two methods to meet it replacement housing obligations. Under the first option, the Agency replaces, b income category (the same or lower income category as the persons displaced from the removed units), number of units, and bedrooms in an amount equal to those removed. The second option provides that the Agency may satisfy its re lacement housing obligation with a fewer number of units if the replacement pr gram meets both of the following criteria: (1) the total number of bedrooms in th replacement units equals or exceeds the number of bedrooms in the destroyed or removed units, and (2) the replacement units are affordable to, and occupied by th same income level of households as the units being eliminated by the project. To satisfy the replacement housing obligation generated by the Vista Dunes Affordable Family Housing Project, the Replacement Housing Plan provides that the Agency will be implementing the first option. This is because it is a more conservative approach, and the Agency has the opportunity to do so through both the Vista Dunes Affordable Family Housing Project and the residential development slated for the Hammer property. Thus, the Agency will meet this replacement housing obligation by generating replacement units and bedrooms in an amount ec ual to those removed. The Vista Dunes Affordable Family Housing Project will generate 82 of the required 92 units, with the remaining 10 replacement housing u its to be located in the Hammer property development. GAPDOCS\CC Stf Rpts\VDMHP\SR Replacement Plan5-04.doc 2 The Replacement Housing Plan identifies the replacement housing development time table and financing strategy. The replacement dwelling timetables entail occupancy of the Vista Dunes Affordable Family Housing Project by the fourth quarter of 2005, and occupancy of the Hammer property development by the first quarter of 2007. Both of these timeframes meet the 4-year replacement dwelling time period outlined in the Redevelopment Law. The means of financing the replacement dwellings are identified as Housing Fund tax increment revenue, and proceeds from the Agency's upcoming tax allocation housing bond issue. There will be sufficient funds available to meet the replacement housing obligations. Article 34 of the California State Constitution requires voter approval when a city, redevelopment agency or housing authority develops housing where more than 49% of the units are affordable to very low- and low-income households, and the public entity intends to own, or provide permanent financing. Agency legal counsel has reviewed the funding and ownership structures proposed for both the Vista Dunes Affordable Family Housing Project and the Hammer property development. They have concluded that the structures do not require an Article 34 election in order for the Agency to implement the replacement housing projects identified in the Replacement Housing Plan. FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES: Alternatives available to the Agency Board include: 1. Adopt a Resolution of the Redevelopment Agency approving the Replacement Housing Plan for the Vista Dunes Affordable Family Housing Project; or 2. Do not adopt a Resolution of the Redevelopment Agency approving the Replacement Housing Plan for the Vista Dunes Affordable Family Housing Project; or 3. Provide staff with alternative direction.

The Vista Dunes Mobile Home Park was established in 1968 and contains 92 travel trailers, and single and double wide mobile homes that are from 12 to 36 years old. Given the age of both the Vista Dunes Mobile Home Park and the trailers/mobile homes, the Agency elected to undertake the Vista Dunes Affordable Family Housing Project in order to: • redevelop this property with new structures in a neighborhood designed in accordance with the City of La Quinta's development standards to ensure better compatibility with adjoining uses; • facilitate construction of new dwellings that feature one, two and three bedroom configurations, offer larger living areas, and incorporate energy efficiency measures to reduce operations costs; • reduce density so that more open space, outdoor play areas, covered off- street parking, and individual yards could be incorporated into this neighborhood; and • secure long term covenants to insure that the new homes will remain affordable to very low income households for at least 55 years. Replacement Housing Plan Requirements Since the Agency will be removing 92 dwellings that are affordable to very low, low and moderate income households, the California Community Redevelopment Law ("Law"), which guides Agency redevelopment activities, requires the Agency to prepare a replacement housing plan that details how the Agency will replace ROSENOW SPEVACEK GROUP, INC.

Replacement Housing Plan This document is the Replacement Housing Plan ("Plan") for the Vista Dunes Affordable Family Housing Project. In addition to addressing the above items as required by the Law, this Plan also documents the existing conditions at the Site in order to establish the replacement housing obligations this redevelopment project will generate. This tabulation serves as the baseline for compliance with Sections 33413(a) and Section 33413(f) of the Law (these sections generally require the Agency to replace, within four years, residential dwellings that are affordable to low and moderate income households which are removed from the housing market as a consequence of a redevelopment project). Replacement housing obligations are tied to formulas for matching lost units according to income category and total bedroom count on either a one -for -one basis or an aggregate basis. Countable replacement housing units must be within the Agency's territorial jurisdiction, in standard condition, and designed to remain affordable to low and moderate income households for at least the remaining life of the land use controls of the Redevelopment Plan for La Quinta Redevelopment Project No. 2 ("Redevelopment Plan"). The land use controls contained in the Redevelopment Plan remain in effect until 2030. ROSENOW SPEVACEK GROUP, INC. LA QUINTA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY April 23, 2004 REPLACEMENT HOUSING PLAN Section •. Housing -Vista wn Affordable Family Housing Project This section presents the background data that was used in developing this Plan. It details the type of units that will be removed when the Vista Dunes Affordable Family Housing Project is undertaken, the household income levels the existing mobile home units serve, and includes a summary of the Vista Dunes Affordable Family Housing Project. Units on the Site The Site occupies an approximately 9.7 acre parcel located on Miles Avenue, west of Adams Street, in north La Quinta. The Site is also within La Quinta Redevelopment Project Area No. 2. Built in 1968, the Vista Dunes Mobile Home Park currently has a total of 92 travel trailers and single and double wide mobile homes that range in age from 12 to 36 years old. In January 2004 the Agency's relocation consultant conducted a door to door survey to document the housing requirements for each resident, and to identify the number of bedroom in each unit. The current mobile home space rent and housing costs show that all units are affordable to very low income households, per the income limits and affordable housing cost parameters established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The number of units by bedroom count is as follows: Bedrooms Units Travel trailers/1 bedroom mobile homes 20 1 bedroom mobile homes 46 3 bedroom mobile homes 23 4 bedroom mobile homes 3 1' ROSENOW SPEVACEK GROUP INC. LA QUINTA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY April 23, 2004 REPLACEMENT HOUSING PLAN EXISTING CONDITIONS AND THE REDEVEVLOPEMT PROJECT PAGE 4 The Redevelopment Project The Agency is in the process of acquiring the Site for the purpose of redeveloping the Site with 82 single family dwellings. After the new dwellings are built, the land and improvements will be sold to a non-profit organization that will be responsible for operations and maintenance. As part of the sale, the Agency will stipulate that all of the newly developed single family homes will be rented, at affordable housing costs, to very low income households for a 55 year period. In addition, the Agency will stipulate occupancy and maintenance standards that must remain in place for the 55 year term. The site planning process that is defining the Vista Dunes Affordable Family Housing Project indicates that the redevelopment project will yield 82 dwellings featuring the following bedroom mix: Unit Size Number 1 bedroom 26 2 bedrooms 24 3 bedrooms 32 12 ROSENOW SPEVACEK GROUP, INC. LA QUINTA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY April 23, 2004 REPLACEMENT HOUSING PLAN Section 3 R1 L I a I Lia, A L The Agency has been aggressively implementing the affordable housing mandates prescribed by the Law. To date, the Agency has facilitated the development of 894 affordable dwellings that feature affordability covenants in compliance with the Law. Through the Vista Dunes Affordable Family Housing Project and one other housing development that is underway, the Agency will more than meet its replacement housing obligations. Further, the Agency is concurrently completing activities related to the sale of Housing Bonds that will generate up to $60.0 million in working capital to meet these and other affordable housing needs. Replacement HOusing Options Per the Law the Agency may apply either of two methods to meet its replacement housing obligations. Under the first option, the Agency replaces, by income category (the same or lower income category as the persons displaced from the removed units), number of units, and bedrooms in an amount equal to those removed. The second option provides that the Agency may satisfy its replacement housing obligation with a fewer number of units if the .replacement program meets both of .the following criteria: (1) the total number of bedrooms in the replacement units equals or exceeds the number of bedrooms in the destroyed or removed units, and (2) the replacement units are affordable to, and occupied by the same income level of households as the units being eliminated by the project. To satisfy the replacement housing obligation generated by the Vista Dunes Affordable Family Housing Project, the Agency will be implementing the first option. Replacement Housing Development The Agency intends to satisfy the replacement housing obligations through two housing developments that will be under construction in Project Area No. 2. They are as follows: ROSENOW SPEVACEK GROUP, INC.

All of the new dwellings will be at rents affordable to very low income households. The Vista Dunes Affordable Family Housing Project will satisfy a majority of the replacement housing needs in that it will generate 82 of the required 92 units that will be removed from the housing stock. The chart below presents that replacement housing obligations and the number of units, and bedroom count, the Affordable Family Housing Project will generate. Type of Units Removed 20 Travel trailers/1 bedroom mobile homes 46 two bedroom mobile homes 23 three bedroom mobile homes 3 four bedroom mobile homes Replacement Units 26 one -bedroom units 24 two bedroom units 32 three bedroom units 0 four bedroom units The Affordable Family Housing Project will generate a 6 unit surplus of one bedroom units, a 22 unit deficit of 2 bedroom units, a 9 unit surplus of 3 bedroom units, and a 3 unit deficit of 4 bedroom units. The deficits will be eliminated through the multi -family project described below. Hammer Property Multi -Family Development The Agency is in escrow to purchase an approximate 27.75 acre parcel located west of Dune Palms Road, north of Avenue 48 for housing and retail development. Given the site location (contiguous to the Highway 11 commercial corridor), approximately 11 acres may be developed for commercial uses leaving approximately 16.75 acres for housing and open space uses. The existing General Plan land use controls permit medium density residential uses on the remaining 16.75 acres which may accommodate up to 250 multi -family dwellings. The Agency intends to require that at least 49% or 122 of the units be affordable to low and very low income households. Since this proposal is in the planning stages, the Agency will require that two and four bedroom units be included so that the deficit generated by the Vista Dunes Affordable Family Housing Project will be addressed. Timetable for Replacement Housing Development The Agency is actively implementing the two developments that will generate the required replacement units. Construction of the Vista Dunes Affordable Family Housing Project development is slated to commence in the first quarter of 2005, with an anticipated move -in date occurring in the third quarter of 2005. All of the 82 units should be occupied by the fourth quarter 2005. ROSENOW SPEVACEK GROUP, INC. LA QUINTA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY " April 23, 2004 REPLACEMENT HOUSING PLAN LOCATION, TIMING & FINANCING PAGE 7 Regarding the Hammer property development, the Agency's property acquisition escrow will close during the summer of 2004. Site planning activities are underway and should be complete by November 2004. The Agency will then conduct a request for proposals process during the first quarter of 2005, with developer selection occurring in the second quarter of 2005. Following the planning and entitlement process time frames employed by the City of La Quinta, final project approvals should occur by the end of 2005 with construction of the multi -family units commencing during the first quarter of 2006. Means of Financing the Replacement Housing Obligations The replacement housing obligations identified in this Plan will be funded through a combination of available tax increment revenue and proceeds from a tax allocation housing bond the Agency is currently structuring. Both of these revenue resources are derived from the housing set -side funds for La Quinta Redevelopment Projects No. 1 and No. 2. Housing fund tax increment revenue not appropriated for other Agency housing initiatives is being reserved, and the Agency is in the final stages of selling up to $60.0 million of tax allocation bonds. Bond proceeds should be in hand by July 1, 2004 or within a reasonable time thereafter. Section XX30V of the Califomia Constitution Requirements By approval and adoption of this Replacement Housing Plan, the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency finds that the replacement housing to be developed and constructed pursuant to this Plan does not require approval of the voters of the City of La Quinta pursuant to Article XXXIV of the California Constitution. The rental housing slated for the Vista Dunes Affordable Family Housing Project is replacing existing rental housing that was occupied by persons and families of low income or very low income. Moreover, upon completion the Vista Dunes Affordable Family Housing Project will be sold to and thus owned and operated by a non-profit entity, and the Agency will not be providing direct long-term financing. As such the project is exempt from Article XXXIV pursuant to the Public Housing Election Implementation Law, Health and Safety Code Section 37000 et seq., including without limitation Health and Safety Code Sections 37001(b), 37001(f), and 37001.5(b). The Hammer property development will not have greater than 49% of the units occupied by low income households, and the Agency will implement this development through a private development entity that will be providing the long- term financing. As such the project slated for the Hammer property is exempt from Article XXXIV pursuant to the Public Housing Election Implementation Law, Health and Safety Code Section 37000 et seq., including without limitation Health and Safety Code Sections 37001(a), 37001(b), 37001.3, 37001.5(b), and 37001(e).
