BUSINESS SESSION
1. CONSIDERATION OF AUTHORIZATION TO DISTRIBUTE A REQUEST FOR
QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING AT
THE CORNER OF 48TH AVENUE AND JEFFERSON STREET.
Mr. Spevacek, consultant with Rosenow, Spevacek Group, advised that
staff is requesting authorization to circulate a Request for Qualifications to
qualified residential developers. They would then be interviewed and a
development firm would then be selected to enter into exclusive
negotiations leading to a development agreement for property owned by the
Agency. In 1991, the Agency purchased property at Dune Palms Road and
48th Avenue with the understanding that part of the property would be
reserved for potential Administrative Center for Desert Sands Unified School
District and the other portion would be reserved for a future affordable
housing project. Since that time, the property was subject of various
development proposals leading to the determination in 1 993 by the Agency
to devote the property along Dune Palms Road for the Schools's
Administrative Offices and the site was subsequently sold to the District in
1 995 leaving a 40-acre parcel along 48th Avenue and Jefferson for
affordable housing purposes.
