La Quinta Redevelopment Agency La Quinta Project No. 1 and Project No. 2
May 2005 1 Third Implementation Plan
BACKGROUND
The La Quinta Redevelopment Agency was established on July 5, 1983. Shortly thereafter, in
November 1983, the Agency adopted the 11,600-acre Project Area No. 1, which includes land
designated for commercial, office, residential, retail, institutional, recreational, and public uses.
Generally, Project Area No. I is bounded by Avenue 50 to the north, Jefferson and Madison
Streets to the east, Avenue 60 to the south, and the La Quinta City boundary on the west. Project
Area No. I was established to redevelop and expand deficient public infrastructure and facilities, to
facilitate economic development, to expand recreation opportunities, and to revitalize the La Quinta
Village.
The Project No. 1 Redevelopment Plan has been amended twice since its adoption. The first
Amendment occurred in 1995 to modify certain time limits and to:
• Add eligible public facilities and infrastructure projects
• Increase the tax increment revenue limit to $2,000,000,000
• Increase the bond indebtedness limit to $100,000,000
• Extend the Agency's eminent domain authority for 12 years.
The Redevelopment Plan was again amended in 2003 to eliminate the November 2003 time limit
on the Agency's ability to incur debt that would be repaid from future tax increment revenue, and to
extend, for one year, the time period that the Agency may receive tax increment revenue from
Project No. 1. Important Project No. 1 Redevelopment Plan time and financial limits are as follows:
Tax Increment Revenue Limit: $2,000,000,000
Total Bond Debt Limit: $100,000,000
Agency May Implement Redevelopment Projects Until: November 2024
Agency May Receive Tax Increment Revenue Until: November 2034
Agency May Use Eminent Domain for Property Acquisition: March 2007
In May 1989, the Agency established Project Area No. 2. This Project Area is 3,116 acres in size
and encompasses commercial, residential and institutional land uses. Located in the northern area
of the City, Project Area No. 2 is generally bounded by Avenue 50 to the south, Fred Waring Drive
to the north, Washington Street to the west, and Jefferson Street to the east. Project No. 2 was
established to provide a mechanism to remove impediments to commercial and residential
development, to address public infrastructure and facility deficiencies, and to increase and improve
the oommunitys supply of affordable housing.
Since it was adopted, the Project No. 2 Redevelopment Plan was amended twice. The first
Amendment occurred in December 1994 to bring the Redevelopment Plan's time limits in

BACKGROUND
conformance with the Law. The second Amendment occurred in January 2004, when the tax
increment limit was increased to $1,500,000,000. Important Project No. 2 Redevelopment Plan
financial and time limits are as follows:
Tax Increment Revenue Limit: $1,500,000,000
Total Bond Debt Limit: $100,000,000

REDEVELOPMENT GOALS - Project No. 1
Section 400 of the Project No. 1 Redevelopment Plan delineates the following redevelopment
goals. These goals were used to develop the strategy for this Implementation Plan and will guide
project implementation activities.
Eliminate Blight. Eliminate and prevent the spread of conditions of blight including:
underutilized properties and deteriorating buildings, incompatible and uneconomic land
uses, deficient infrastructure and facilities, obsolete structures, and other economic
deficiencies in order to create a more favorable environment for commercial, office,
residential, and recreational development.
• Expand Commercial Base. Expand the Project Area's commercial base.
• Improve Facilities/infrastructure. Improve public facilities and public infrastructure.
• Improve Drainage Facilities, Improve inadequate drainage infrastructure.
• Improve Utility Service. Improve and/or provide electric, gas, telephone, and wastewater
infrastructure to both developed and undeveloped properties.
• Promote Job Growth. Promote local job opportunities.
Coordinate Stake Holder Participation. Encourage the cooperation and participation of
residents, businesses, business persons, public agencies, and community organizations in
redevelopment/revitalization initiatives.
Ensure Quality Design and Developmen . Implement design and use standards to assure
high aesthetic and environmental quality, and provide unity and integrity to development
within the Project Area.
Address Irregular Lots. Address parcels of property that are of irregular form and shape, are
inadequately sized for proper usefulness and development, and/or are held in multiple
ownership.
Assemble Parcels. Remove impediments to land disposition and development through the
assembly of property into reasonably sized and shaped parcels served by improved
infrastructure and public facilities.
Correct Underutilized Lots. Recycle and/or develop underutilized parcels to accommodate
higher and better economic uses while enhancing the City's financial resources.
0 Promote Housing. Promote the rehabilitation of existing housing stock.
Increase and Improve the Community's Supply of Affordable Housing. Increase, improve,
and preserve the supply of housing affordable to very low-, low- and moderate -income
households.
La QuInta Redevelopment Agency Project No. I
May 2005 4 Third Implementation Plan
BLIGHTING CONDITIONS - Project No. 1
When Project No. 1 was established the Agency identified the following blighting conditions:
Inadequate Flood Control Facilities. A majority of the properties were not served by flood
control facilities. When summer and winter rains would occur, many of these properties
would flood which would inflict significant physical and economic losses, and impact the
health, safety and welfare of residents and businesses.
Deteriorated Residential Structures in the Cove. Numerous residential dwellings in the
Cove community suffered from moderate to heavy structural deterioration and had been
cited for numerous Building Code violations. Because rehabilitation costs were estimated to
exceed 50 percent of the then market value, many of these dwellings were considered
candidates for demolition. Other less -deteriorated residential structures were candidates for
an Agency -sponsored rehabilitation and reconstruction program.
0 Substandard Structure Design. A building survey identified a number of specific properties
that were developed under less stringent building standards prior to the Citys incorporation
in 1982. As a result, these structures were more susceptible to flood damage due to
inadequate foundations and were plagued with numerous safety hazards due to defective
and substandard electrical wiring.
Mixed and Incompatible Uses. A number of residential structures in both the Cove and the
La Quinta Village were being used for nonresidential uses. In addition to the unsuitability of
these buildings to house these new uses, these converted properties frequently generated
land use compatibility conflicts and lacked adequate storage and off-street parking facilities.
Inadequate Water and Sanitation Infrastructure. A majority of the water system was
installed in the 1930's. It was undersized and the distribution system infrastructure was
deteriorating. A majority of the properties were serviced by septic systems, which often
overflowed during the flooding that would occur during heavy, rains, leaking sewage into the
water system.
Inadequate Roadways/Streets. Regional access was limited due to the lack of roads, and
the existing roadways did not have curbs and gutters and often flooded during summer and
winter rains.
Stagnant Commercial Activity. Economic activity was stagnating because many of the
commercially zoned properties were subdivided into 2,500 square foot parcels and were
under multiple ownership. In order to assemble a three to five acre parcel, a developer
would need to negotiate land purchase transactions with as many as a dozen property
owners. The water, sewer and street infrastructure was also inadequate to support
commercial development, and developers often found the cost for these facilities could not
be borne by their development proposals.
Inadequate Park, Recreation and Cultural Facilities. The Agency also identified a lack of
park space, recreation and cultural facilities. Due to its low property tax rate the City could
not fund land acquisition and facility development costs.
La Quinta Redevelopment Agency Project No. I
May 2005 5 Third Implementation Plan
FINANCIAL RESOURCES - Project No. I
The chart below presents the anticipated revenues and expenditures for the Project No. 1 Debt
Service and Capital Projects funds during the five year term of this Implementation Plan. These
revenue and expenditure estimates are based upon the data contained in the City of La Quinta's
March 2005 Annual Financial Management Review (the City annually conducts a comprehensive
review of all of the City and Agency funds and prepares five year revenue and expenditure
forecasts from which annual budget policy and project1prograrn determinations are formulated).
The revenue projections assume that Project Area No. I assessed values will annually increase by
the inflation adjustment allowed by Proposition 13, and from development of the remaining vacant
parcels within -Project Area No. 1. Anticipated expenditures are based upon the polices established
by the La Quinta City Council, the projects and programs identified in the March 2005 Annual
Financial Management Review, and the City's Capital Improvement Program.
During the next five years the Agency anticipates that the Project No. 1 expenditures will entail:
Funding fiscal mitigation payments to the various taxing agencies that levy taxes in Project
Area No. 1. These payments are based upon schedules that are contained in the taxing
agency agreements with the County of Riverside, the community college district, local
school districts, and other public agencies.
Funding Education Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF) payments per the mandates from
the State of California. In an effort to address the State's budget deficit, the State is
requiring that the Agency pay up to $3,000,000 of tax increment revenue into a fund to
reduce the State's funding commitment to local school districts. Initially, ERAF payments
were to end during Fiscal Year 2005-06. However, since the State budget is still in a deficit
position, the Agency is projecting continued ERAF payments at their current level during the
five year term of this Implementation Plan. If ERAF payments cease, these funds would be
available to fund additional projects and programs or to retire additional Project No. 1 debt.
• Funding debt service payments on the 1994, 1998, 2001, 2002 and 2003 tax allocation
bonds. It should be noted that the 1994 Bonds will be repaid in 2012.
• Interest payments on outstanding City General Fund loans.
• Funding Agency administration costs associated with Project No. 1 activities.
• Completing projects that were initiated during the Second Implementation Plan funding
cycle.

The year end fund balance deficits for Fiscal Years 2004-05 and 2005-06 will be funded from the
Fiscal Year 2003-04 fund balance. The Agency projects that the Project No. 1 Non -Housing Fund
will conclude Fiscal Years 2006-07 through 2008-09 with a zero fund balance. If revenues exceed
projections or if ERAF payments cease, the Agency will then revise its expenditures plan
accordingly during the mid-term review of this Implementation Plan.
La Quinta Redevelopment Agency Project No. I
May 2005 7 Third Implementation Plan
NONHOUSING PROGRAMS - Project No. 1
Through the Second Implementation Plan the Agency implemented a variety of economic
development, infrastructure and public facility improvements in Project Area No. 1 including the
following:
SilverRock Resort. The Agency purchased 525 acres of property in Project Area No. 1 and
completed master planning activities for a resort community that will encompass two golf
courses, three to four resorts, community facilities, recreation space, convention facilities
and retail space. The first golf course was opened in February 2005, and the Agency is
currently negotiating a land disposition and development transaction with Lowe Enterprises
for the development of the first resort property, and the future phased development of the
additional resort, convention facilities and retail uses.
La Quinta Library. The Agency is funding the construction of a 20,000 square foot library
that will serve both Project Area No. I residents and the greater community. This facility will
replace the existing 3,000 square foot library which is housed in leased facilities.
La Quinta Historical Museum. The Agency purchased the La Quinta Historical Museum,
which is located in the Village. Operated by the La Quinta Historical Society, the Museum
houses exhibits on La Quinta's cultural and historical heritage.
Village Streetscape and Parking Improvements. The La Quinta Village is the commercial
core of Project Area No. 1. However, it lacked sufficient off-street parking and attractive
streetscapes. The Agency funded streetscape improvements involving the major
boulevards that serve the Village and has initiated improvements to the first off-street
parking facility.
Other Infrastructure and Community Facility Prooects. During the past five year planning
cycle the Agency also completed the following Project Area No. I related projects:
o Improvements to the Washington Street and 1-10 interchange
o Calle Rondo Channel storm drain improvements
o Median landscape improvements — Avenue 50/Sinaloa/Calle Tampico
o Cove mini park expansion
o Phase VI - A Village commercial capital improvements

La Quinta Redevelopment Agency Project No. 2
May 2005 13 Third Implementation Plan
FINANCIAL RESOURCES - Project No. 2
The chart below presents the combined anticipated revenues and expenditures for the Project No.
2 Debt Service and Capital Projects funds during the five year term of this Implementation Plan.
These revenue and expenditure estimates are based upon the data contained in the City of La
Quinta's March 2005 Annual Financial Management Review (the City annually conducts a
comprehensive review of all of the City and Agency funds and prepares five year revenue and
expenditure forecasts from which annual budget policy and project/program determinations are
formulated). The revenue projections assume that Project Area No. 2 assessed values will
annually increase by the inflation adjustment allowed by Proposition 13, and from development of
the remaining vacant parcels within Project Area No.2. Anticipated expenditures are based upon
the polices established by the La Quinta City Council, the projects and programs identified in the
March 2005 Annual Financial Management Review, and the City's Capital Improvement Program.
During the next five years the Agency anticipates that the Project No. 2 expenditures will entail:
Funding fiscal mitigation payments to the various taxing agencies that levy taxes in Project
Area No. 2. These payments are based upon schedules that are contained in the taxing
agency agreements with the County of Riverside, the community college district, local
school districts, and other public agencies.
• Funding debt service payments on the 1998 tax allocation bonds.
• Continuing interest payments on outstanding City General Fund loans.
• Funding Agency administration costs associated with Project No. 2 activities.
• Completing capital improvement projects that were initiated during the Second
Implementation Plan funding cycle.
Project No. 2 also has the requirement to disburse Funding Education Revenue Augmentation
Fund (ERAF) payments per the mandates from the State of California. In an effort to address the
State's budget deficit, the State is requiring the Agency pay a total of $3,000,000 of tax increment
revenue into a fund to reduce the State's funding commitment to local school districts. However,
the Project No. 2 ERAF payments are being funded from Project No. 1; there was not sufficient
revenue to fund this obligation and meet other pre-existing obligations.

HOUSING PROJ ECTS/PROG RAMS
Through the Second Implementation Plan the Agency implemented the following affordable
housing activities that generated 826 affordable units that feature 30, 45 or 55 year covenants.
These covenants insure that the dwellings remain affordable for these time frames.
Building Horizons — 8 Dwellings. This program is sponsored by the Boys and Girls Club of
Coachella Valley and utilizes La Quinta High School students to design, build and market
single-family homes in the Cove. During the past five years this program has generated
eight affordable units of which four were sold to low-income family households and four to
moderate -income family households. The Agency recorded silent second trust deed loans
against the properties in order to insure that total housing costs are affordable to the
designated income categories and that the dwellings remain affordable for 30 to 45 years.
These homes are located in Project Area No. 1.
I
SilverHawk Apartment Homes — 75 Dwellings. The Agency provided funds to assist with
infrastructure and utility system improvements to facilitate the development of 200 new
apartment homes. This investment resulted in reserving 75 one and two bedroom units as
housing affordable to moderate -income family households; these dwellings will remain
affordable for 55 years. This development is located in Project Area No. 1.
Rael Apartment Rehabilitation — 14 Dwellings. The Agency provided funds to substantially
rehabilitate these 1970's era family apartment homes. New facades, roofs, landscaping
and covered carports were installed. By providing this investment, the Agency secured 14
units that will be affordable to moderate -income family households for 30 years. These
homes are located in Project Area No. 1.
Miraflores — 162 Dwellings. This development was completed and opened during the past
five year planning term. Located in Project Area No. 2, this neighborhood contains 44
single-family dwellings that are affordable to moderate -income families (affordability is
secured through 30 year Agency funded silent second trust deed loans), and 118 senior
apartment homes; 94 of the one and two bedroom senior apartments are affordable to low-
income households and 24 are affordable to moderate -income households.
Aventine Family Apartments — 20 Dwellings. Located in Project Area No. 2, the Agency
secured 20 affordable apartment homes in this complex, 10 affordable to low-income
households and 10 to moderate -income households. These units will remain affordable for
55 years.
Watercolors Court Homes — 149 Dwellings. The Agency concluded an Affordable Housing
Agreement that will facilitate the construction of 149 dwellings that will be sold, at affordable
housing costs, to moderate -income households that are 55 years of age and older. The
dwellings will feature Agency funded silent second trust deed mortgages that will insure that
these homes will remain affordable to moderate -income households for 45 years. This

wfl I remain affordable to very low-income households for 55 years. This development is
located in Project Area No. 2.
Silent Second Trust Deed Loans - 192 Dwellings. The Agency continued to fund silent
second trust deed loans to facilitate home purchases in both Project Areas. During the past
five years, 178 loans were funded for Project Area No. I home purchases (10 very low-
income, 134 low-income, and 34 moderate -income) and 14 loans were funded for Project
Area No. 2 home purchases (6 low-income and 8 moderate4ncome). These second trust
deed loans feature covenants to insure that the dwellings remain affordable for 30 to 45
years.

HOUSING FINANCIALRESOURCES
The chart below presents the combined (Project No, 1 and Project No. 2) revenue and expenditure
projections for the five year planning period. The revenue ledger includes anticipated tax increment
revenue, the proceeds from the 2004 Housing Bond (the 2004 Finance Authority Bond), income
from the La Quinta Rental Housing Program, and the sale of dwellings that feature Agency silent
second trust deed loans. The Rental Program income is used to maintain and to substantially
rehabilitate these dwellings prior to their safe to very low-income family households. The Agency's
silent second trust deed loan income represents repayment of the second trust deed loans and
shared appreciation revenue when these units are sold to non -qualifying households and are
removed from the Agencys affordable housing inventory. This revenue is then invested to gain
replacement dwellings that will remain affordable for 45 years.

In 1995 the Agency purchased 50 units in Project Area No. 1 to secure the $1.2 million
Agency investment which preserved 50 single-family units that were rented to very low-
income Section 8 households. As homes became vacant or as existing tenants qualified,
the Agency substantially rehabilitated the dwellings and sold them to very low-, low- or
moderate -income households. To date, 12 of the 50 units have been sold, 7 to very low-
income households, 4 to low-income households, and 1 to a moderate -income household.
All of these dwellings feature 30 or 45 year affordability covenants. The Agency will
continue to rent the remaining 38 dwellings until the existing tenants elect, and are qualified,
to purchase their units, or the units are vacant and may then be sold to a very low-income
household. The Agency will continue to substantially rehabilitate these dwellings prior to
these sales.
FIVE-YEAR PLAN ACTIVITIES
The Agency will continue to rent the units until they are sold and anticipates substantially
rehabilitating and selling two units per year.
I EXPENDITURES
Annual management and maintenance costs are expected to average $323,000. This cost
is funded solely from rental income. No tax increment revenues are expected to be utilized
for this program.

home purchases for low- and moderate -income households in both Project Area No. 1 and
No. 2. Principal and interest payments on these second trust deed loans are not required
as long as the dwellings remain affordable for 45 years. Initially, this program funded
numerous second trust deed mortgage loans when home prices were reasonable in both
Project Areas. However, rapidly increasing home values have significantly decreased the
benefits associated with this program. The Agency anticipates phasing it out by Fiscal Year
2007-08, or sooner, if it continues to loose its effectiveness.
FIVE-YEAR PLAN ACTIVITIES

SECOND HOUSING COMPLIANCE PLAN
This document is the Second Affordable Housing Compliance Plan ("Second
Compliance Plan") for La Quinta Redevelopment Project No. 1 ("Project No. 1") and
Redevelopment Project No. 2 ("Project No. 2") of the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency
("Agency"). This Second Compliance Plan replaces the Agencys First Affordable
Housing Compliance Plan (adopted on December 1994 and subsequently amended in
March 1998 and July 1999) to update Agencys affordable housing activities since 1994.
In 1994, the Agency initiated a ten-year affordable housing effort to produce 1,672
inclusionary housing units estimated to be needed by 2004 to meet its housing
mandate. Since then, the Agency has produced 1,031 affordable housing units.
Legal Requirements
The California Community Redevelopment Law, Health and Safety Code Section 33000,
et. seg. ("Law"), sets forth the requirement to prepare a plan that outlines how the
Agency will achieve its affordable housing production objectives for a ten year period.
This Second Compliance Plan sets forth the Agency's program for ensuring that the
appropriate number of very low-, low-, and moderate -income housing units Will be
produced in La Quinta Redevelopment Project Area No. 1 ("Project Area No. 1 ") and La
Quinta Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 ("Project Area No. 2") or ("Project Areas") for
a ten-year period (Fiscal Years 2004-05 through 2013-14), and how the Agency will
erase the deficit in affordable unit production that it did not achieve during the previous
ten year planning period.
Contents
This Second Compliance Plan has been developed to:
Account for the number of affordable dwelling units, either constructed
or substantially rehabilitated, in both Project Areas since their
respective adoptions
Assess eAsting needs for the production of affordable housing as a
result of the construction or substantial rehabilitation of dwelling units
since the Project Areas were adopted
Present the estimated number of dwelling units to be privately
developed or substantially rehabilitated between 2004-05 and 2013-14
and over the duration of the respective Redevelopment Plans for the
Project Areas
Forecast the number of dwelling units to be developed or substantially
rehabilitated by the Agency between 2004-05 and 2013-14

contained in the November 2004 City of La Quinta Housing Element
Update ("Housing Elemenn to confirm this Second Compliance Plan is
consistent with the Housing Element.
Background
On November 29, 1983 the Agency adopted the Redevelopment Plan for the Project
Area No. 1, establishing the Agency's first redevelopment project area which
encompasses 17.5 square miles. Project Area No. 1 is located in the southern portion
of the City and includes land designated for commercial, office, residential, retail,
institutional, recreational, and public uses. Project Area No. 1 is generally bounded by
Avenue 50 to the north, Jefferson Street and Madison Streets to the east, Avenue 60 to
the south, and the City limit boundary on the west. At the time of its adoption, Project
Area No. 1 included 2,240 dwelling units according to its Report to Council.
The Agency established its second redevelopment project on May 16, 1989 with the
adoption of the Redevelopment Plan for Project Area No. 2. Essentially, Project Area
No. 2 encompasses a major portion of the City north of Avenue 50. Covering an area of
3,116 acres, Project Area No. 2 includes residential, commercial and institutional uses.
Project Area No. 2 is bounded by Avenue 50 to the south, Fred Waring Drive to the
north, Washington Street to the west, and Jefferson Street to the east. Also included
within Project Area No. 2 are properties located west of Washington Street, north of the
prolongation of the future alignment of Avenue 48; properties surrounding Point Happy
north of Highway 111 and west of Washington Street-, and property east of Jefferson
Street and north of Highway 111. According to its Report to Council, Project Area No. 2
contained 609 dwelling units at the time of its adoption.
Purpose .
Since 1976, redevelopment agencies have been required to assure that at least 15% of
all new or rehabilitated units developed within a redevelopment project area by entities
other than a redevelopment agency are available at affordable costs to households of
very low-, low-, or moderate -income. Of this 15%, not less than 40% of the affordable
units must be affordable to very low-income households (50% or below of area median
income). Further, at least 30% of all new or rehabilitated dwelling units developed within
a project area by a redevelopment agency are made available at affordable costs to low -
or moderate -income households. Of this 30%, not less than 50% of the dwelling units
must be available at affordable costs to very low-income households. These
La Quinta Redevelopment Agency La Quinta Project No. I and Project No. 2
May 2005 37 Second Affordable Housing
Compliance Plan
SECOND 1106�ING COMPLIANCE PLAN
requirements are applicable to housing units as aggregated and not on a case -by -case
basis to each dwelling unit created or rehabilitated unless so required by a
redevelopment agency.
The Law requires agencies to adopt an affordable housing compliance plan that
identifies how the redevelopment agency Will achieve the aforementioned affordable
housing production requirements for each project area. The compliance plan must be
consistent with the jurisdiction's housing element and must also be reviewed and, it
necessary, amended at least every five years in conjunction with the cyclical preparation
of the housing element or the agencys five-year implementation plan.
If, at the end of each ten year planning period, the affordable housing production goals
are not realized, the Law requires that a redevelopment agency meet the production
goals on an annual basis unfit the requirements for the previous ten year period are met.
Should an agency exceed the production requirements within the ten year period, the
Law allows an agency to count the units that exceed the requirements to meet housing
production requirements during the next ten year period.
Agency Housing Funds
The Agency is required to allocate 20% of the tax increment revenue it receives from
both Project Areas to increase and improve housing affordable to very low-, low-, and
moderate -income households. A separate Housing Fund has been established for this
revenue. The Agency may invest this revenue in new construction and rehabilitation
activities in both Project Areas. To date, the Agency has expended this revenue on new
construction, rehabilitation, and rental housing assistance.
Definitions and Data Compilation
This Second Compliance Plan takes into account all residential construction or
substantial rehabilitation that has occurred within the Project Areas since their adoption
in order to determine affordable housing production needs; it includes figures for
existing residential construction and substantial rehabilitation, and projections for the
number of additional dwelling units to be constructed or substantially rehabilitated during
the ten-year planning period. The following narratives define "new construction" and
"substantially rehabilitated" as used in this Second Compliance Plan.
New Construction. Construction statistics were provided by the City of
La Quinta's, planning staff. Because the Law does not provide a clear
definition for new construction, Agency staff, consultant, and legal
counsel have agreed upon a "definition" for new construction. For the
purposes of this Second Compliance Plan, building permits issued for the
construction of new dwelling units since the respective adoption dates of
the Project Areas are considered to be new construction dwelling units;
therefore, these units generate the Agency's affordable housing
production requirements. Future dwelling unit construction projections
were determined by identifying the build out capacity of all vacant and
underdeveloped parcels within both Project Areas, based upon existing
land uses and recent historical trends of building pen -nits issued for
residential units. The City Community Development Department staff

SECOND HOUSING COMPLIANCE PLAN
does not anticipate the Project Areas will experience build out within the
ten year time frame covered by this Second Compliance Plan.
Substantial Rehabilitation. The Law defines "substantial rehabilitation"
as:
"....rehabilitation, the value of which constitutes 25 percent of
the after rehabilitation value of the dwelling, inclusive of the land
value. "
"Substantially rehabilitated dwelling units�" means:
'....a# units substantially rehabilitated with agency assistance."
Research indicates that the only units that have undergone substantial
rehabilitation are those that have been part of the Agency's, affordable
housing activities. These units have been included in the overall housing
production requirements.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING ACTIVITIES
This section reviews the number of dwelling units which have been destroyed/removed
by the Agency to date, the number of privately developed or substantially rehabilitated
units for both Project Areas, and the Agency's affordable housing production efforts to
date.
Dwellings Destroyed or Removed Directly or Indirectly by Agency to Date
As of May 2005, the Agency has demolished 78 dilapidated mobile home units that
housed very low-, low- or moderate -income persons or families at the Vista Dunes
Mobile Home Park in Project Area No. 2. The Agency will be replacing these units, on
a one for one basis, in the Vista Dunes Courtyard Homes development and the Dune
Palms Multi -Family Housing development, both of which are further described later in
this Second Compliance Plan.
Dwellings Constructed/Substantially Rehabilitated within the Project Areas
Based upon data provided by the City's Community Development Department, the total
number of new housing units constructed and/or substantially rehabilitated in Project
Area No. 1 ("PA 1") and Project Area No. 2 ("PA 2") from adoption to Fiscal Year 2003-

While the Agency has made significant progress towards producing affordable units, it
still has a production deficit. Private development and substantial rehabilitation
activities in both Project Areas created an affordable housing production requirement of
1,672 units (as of Fiscal Year 2004-05); 669 units must be affordable to very low-
income households. The Agency has secured 1,031 affordable units to date (641 units
short of the required number) of which 281 are affordable to very low-income
households (388 units short of the required number). The Agency Will correct this
deficit during the ten year planning period of this Second Compliance Plan.

NEW HOUSING PROJECTS/P11--OGRAMS
This section presents the strategies the Agency will pursue to meet the production
requirements for the ten year planning period of the Second Compliance Plan. During
the ten year planning period of this Second Compliance Plan, the Agency is projected to
need 230 affordable units of which 92 must be affordable to very low-income
households. This is in addition to the 641 unit deficit that remains from the previous ten
year planning period (1994-2004). During this Second Compliance Plan, the Agency
must prod ' uce a projected 871 affordable dwellings of which 483 must be affordable to
very low-income households. The Agency will pursue the following programs to produce
needed affordable housing for the remainder of the ten year cycle.
Building Horizons. The Agency will continue to fund this program that is
sponsored by the Boys and.Girls Club of Coachella Valley. During the ten-year
period, the Agency anticipates that this program will generate 20 affordable
dwellings, of which 10 will be affordable to moderate -income households and
10 affordable to low-income households. All of these dwellings will be
affordable to households under the age of 65.
- Estimated Units to be Produced: 20 at 2 units per year.
Dune Palms Multi-Famil . The Agency owns an appro)dmately 15 acre parcel
that is located west of Dune Palms Road, north of Avenue 48. During Fiscal
Year 2004-05 that the Agency has solicited developer proposals and will select
a development team to design, finance, construct and manage these
apartment homes in 2005. Construction should commence in 2006 with
occupancy by 2008. The Agency anticipates obtaining 250 apartment homes
on this property, of which at least 122 units will be affordable to very low-
income households. The remaining units will be affordable to low- and
moderate -income households. If additional very low-income units can be
obtained, the Agency will seek to do so. All of these units will be affordable to
households under the age of 65.
- Estimated Units to be Produced: 300 with anticipated opening by 2008.
Mobile Home Park Rehabilitation. The Dune Palms Mobile Home Park,
located in Project Area No. 2, is in a dilapidated condition. The Agency is
initiating discussions With the current owner to either work with the owner to
rehabilitate the park and install new mobile or modular home units, or purchase
the park and rehabilitate this housing stock and secure dwellings that would
remain affordable to very low-income family households for 55 years. AJI of
these units would be affordable to households under the age of 65.
- Estimated Units to be Produced: 100 with anticipated opening by 2008.
La Quinta Housing Program. The Agency will continue to implement the La
Quinta Housing Program to facilitate the production of affordable housing units
throughout the Project Areas. While this program effectiveness has
diminished over the past two years, the Agency anticipated that it will fund 20

to 40 silent second trust deed mortgage loans during the first four years of the
ten-year planning cycle. These loans facilitate home purchase opportunities
for low- and moderate -income family households. All of these units would be
affordable to households under the age of 65.
- Estimated Units to be Produced: 32 with 8 per year during the next 4 years.
Village Live/Work Housing. This program entails facilitating the construction of
mixed -use developments in the Village area consisting of commercial uses and
housing. The housing units could potentially be lofts above first floor
businesses, and may be affordable to low- and very low-income households.
This program is still in the planning stages, and potential sites, specifics
regarding the development and the affordability mix, have not been determined
as of the date of the Second Compliance Plan. However, based upon
preliminary planning activities, the Agency may secure up to 50 affordable
units through this effort. AJI of these units would be affordable to households
under the age of 65.
- Estimated Units to be Produced: 50 with 10 per year starting in Fiscal Year
2007-08.
Proverty Acquisition. The remaining land inventory the Agency assembled
during the past ten years has been sold or otherwise committed for
development. With the adoption of this Second Compliance Plan, the Agency
will be initiating an acquisition effort to secure sites for new affordable housing
development both within the Project Areas, and where feasible, out of the
Project Areas, but within the community. This effort will be necessary to
generate the remaining 420 affordable units that the Agency must achieve
during the 10 year planning term of this Second Implementation Plan. The
Law does allow the Agency to meet affordable housing requirements by
providing affordable housing units outside of the Project Areas on a two -for -
one basis. The Agency has adopted Resolutions for both Project Areas to
allow the use of housing funds outside of Project Area boundaries. These
units will be affordable to households under the age of 65.
- Estimated Units to be Produced: 420 with 55 per year starting in Fiscal Year
2006-07.

HOUSING ELEMENT COMPLIANCE
Because this Second Compliance Plan focuses on providing housing for very low- and low-income
households who are generally the most difficult segment of the community to provide housing for, it
is consistent with the Housing Element!s goal to provide housing for all economic groups within the
City. Both this Second Compliance Plan and the Housing Element state there is a definite need to
assure an adequate supply of housing for the lower income segments of the City. It should be
noted, however, that the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) prepared by SCAG for the
City of La Quinta shows that the greatest housing concentration need through 2005 will be
generated and above moderate -income households. Tile future need determined by SCAG shows
21% of the need for moderate -income households and 48% of the households need as above
moderate.
A major focal point of the goals policies and objectives of the Housing Element is to provide
housing for all economic segments of the City, especially very low- and low-income families.
Because the major goal of this Second Compliance Plan is also to provide housing for these
households, and the proposed plans and programs for improving the supply of affordable housing
in the City presented in this Second Compliance Plan are similar to plans and policies of the
Housing Element, there is clearly a high degree of consistency between the Second Compliance
Plan and the Housing Element.
