Thank you for submitting your surplus land documentation, on behalf of the City of La Quinta

by Vista Coralina Lane with APN 600-020-057 (Property).
Analysis
According to your letter and supporting documents, a Resolution declaring the (Property) to

January 3, 2025. During the required 60-day period, four affordable housing entities and one
development entity expressed interest in the property. The City has provided a summary of
the negotiations, which resulted in the City accepting two development partners, Sunridge
Properties and The Pacific Companies. The City's documentation included a draft affordability
covenant, requiring 100 percent affordable housing, to be recorded against the Property for a
period of 55 years for rental housing and 45 years for ownership housing.

If the submitted documentation and assertions by the City are complete and accurate, HCD
finds that all the requirements under the SLA for the purposes of disposing of the
