PURPOSES OF PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT OF A SENIOR HOUSING
PROJECT CONTAINING AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS; ASSESSOR
PARCEL NO. 58-151-23 (portion)
NOVEMBER 24, 1997
Date:
BACKGROUND
The Town of Tiburon has been working toward the sale ofa portion of the former Town Hall
property at Ned's Way and Tiburon Boulevard for the past few years. The property is intended to
be developed as a senior housing project with a complement of affordable units. Proceeds of the
sale are to be spent toward construction ofa new police facility, as authorized by Tiburon's voters
in a June 1995 election. It has been determined that the best method to secure the will of the
voters is for the Town to sell the property to the Tiburon Redevelopment Agency, which would in
turn sell the property to a private developer to construct the senior housing project.
ANALYSIS
The proper tool for sale of the property to the Tiburon Redevelopment Agency is for the Town
and Agency to enter into a "Purchase and Sale Agreement", a draft of which is attached as
Exhibit 1. A draft Resolution approving execution of the Purchase and Sale Agreement is
attached as Exhibit 2.
In order to fund the purchase, the Tiburon Redevelopment Agency will borrow from the Town of
Tiburon's Affordable Housing In-lieu Fund approximately $650,000. The Agency will also
expend its approximately $400,000 in housing set-aside monies, and will provide the Town with a
note for the balance of the purchase monies based upon a known revenue stream from future
housing set-aside monies. It would take approximately 2 to 3 years to pay off the note, unless, as
expected, the Agency sells the property to a private developer in the next year or so, in which
case the note would most likely be paid back even sooner.

PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT
This Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Agreement") is
entered into as of November ,1997 by and between the Town of
Tiburon, a municipal corporation (the "Town") and the Tiburon
Redevelopment Agency, a public body, corporate and politic (the
"Agency"), with reference to the following facts and purposes.
RECITALS
A. The Town is the fee owner of that certain parcel
containing approximately 1.5 acres located at 1155 Tiburon
Boulevard in Tiburon as more particularly described in the
attached Exhibit A (the "Property").
B. The Property is one of the few remaining parcels in
Tiburon suitable for the development of housing containing units
affordable to persons and families of very low income.
C. Development of the Property with affordable housing
will promote municipal goals and objectives of the Housing
Element of the Town's General Plan.
D. Development of the Property with affordable housing
will enable the Agency to achieve affordable housing policies of
the California Community Redevelopment Law (with particular
reference to the affordable housing policies set forth in Health
and Safety Code Sections 33070 and 33071) and of the
redevelopment plan administered by the Agency. In addition, such
development of the Property will assist the Agency in meeting its
housing production obligations with respect to various
redevelopment project areas in accordance with the provisions of
Health and Safety Code Section 33413(b) (2) (A) (ii).
E. The parties have determined that their respective
goals, objectives, and policies with respect to development of
the Property for affordable housing purposes can best be achieved
through conveyance of the Property by the Town to the Agency in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Conveyance to the
Agency will facilitate the use of Agency development expertise,
monitoring capabilities and financial resources (including, as
appropriate, the use of tax increment revenues deposited in the
Agency's Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund) to promote timely
reconveyance and redevelopment of the Property for affordable
housing purposes.
F. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33220(a),
the Town is authorized to convey the Property to the Agency.

units to be developed on the Property toward the satisfaction of
the Agency's project area housing production obligation under
Health and Safety Code Section 33413(b) (2) (A) (ii).
I. The Agency and the Town have set the purchase price of
the Property based on the eventual development of approximately
twenty-five (25) housing units on the Property. Based on an
appraisal, the purchase price for the Property set forth in this
Agreement does not exceed the Property's fair market value for
the development contemplated by the Agency.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants
contained in this Agreement, the Agency and the Town agree as
follows:
Section 1. Purchase and Sale of the Property. Subject to

AMENDMENTS TO HOUSING IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
NOVEMBER 24, 1997
BACKGROUND
Under state law, redevelopment agencies are required to prepare and adopt "housing
implementation plans" which set forth goals, objectives, means and methods to achieve the
affordable housing requirements contained within California Redevelopment Law. These laws
require that 15% of all units built within a redevelopment project area must be affordable to either
moderate (9%) or very low (6%) income households.
The Town adopted such a plan in 1994; however, changes to the state law require that the
implementation plan be amended and expanded, The Tiburon Redevelopment Agency counsel
has prepared an amended and restated housing implementation plan (Exhibit 1) for the Tiburon
Redevelopment Agency which meets the statutory requirements of current state law.
Staff sees the draft plan as a restatement of past, present, and proposed projects intended to meet
the Agency's affordable housing requirements. Pages 17-20 offer a summary of those projects
and describe how the Agency will be expending its time and resources in the foreseeable future
relative to affordable housing,

PART I
INTRODUCTION & ORGANIZATION
The California Community Redevelopment Law (the "CRL") requires each
redevelopment agency administering a redevelopment plan to prepare and adopt a five-year
Implementation Plan. The principal goal of the Implementation Plan is for an agency to plan
for and implement its general redevelopment programs in a manner directly related to
eliminating blighting influences. In addition, the affordable housing component of the
Implementation Plan provides a mechanism for a redevelopment agency to monitor its
progress in meeting both its affordable housing obligations under the CRL and the affordable
housing needs of the community, In effect, the Implementation Plan is a guide, incorporating
the goals, objectives, and potential programs informing redevelopment agency activities for a
five-year period, while providing flexibility so the agency may adjust to changing
circumstances and new opportunities.
The Tiburon Redevelopment Agency (the "Agency") adopted its initial Implementation
Plan for the Tiburon Redevelopment Plan (the "Redevelopment Plan") in August, 1994,
focusing primarily on the Agency's plans to meet certain affordable housing obligations. (The
initial Implementation Plan was referred to as the Agency's "Housing Compliance Plan.") In
connection with the mid-term review of the initial Implementation Plan required under the
CRL, the Agency has determined to amend and restate the initial Implementation Plan in its
entirety in the form of this Amended and Restated Implementation Plan (the "Amended
Implementation Plan"). Through the Amended Implementation Plan, the Agency can provide
the community with an updated vision of redevelopment goals, objectives and programs.
This Amended Implementation Plan covers fiscal years 1994-95 through 1998-99, the
initial five-year period required under the CRL. The Amended Implementation Plan
incorporates actual financial results and redevelopment activities from the first three years of
that five-year planning period, as well as updated financial estimates, goals, objectives and
proposed programs for the remaining two years of the planning period. In addition,
information for years beyond 1998-99 is also provided where it is available or required by the
CRL.
A. ORGANIZATION
In accordance with the CRL, the Amended Implementation Plan contains the following
information:
.
Specific goals and objectives for the five-year planning period for both housing
and non-housing activities.
.
Specific programs and expenditures for the five-year planning period for both
housing and non-housing activities.
102\05\105612.02
-1-
,
. An explanation of how the goals, objectives, programs, and expenditures will
assist in the elimination of blight and in meeting affordable housing obligations.
. Other information related to the provision of affordable housing, as discussed in
Part III below.
The information listed above falls under two broad categories of redevelopment
activities. Consequently, the remainder of this Amended Implementation Plan is organized
into two principal parts. Part II sets forth the requirements for all activities and expenditures
under the Redevelopment Plan other than for the provision of affordable housing. Part III
addresses affordable housing activities and expenditures and charts Agency progress in
meeting its affordable housing obligations.
This Amended Implementation Plan utilizes terms with specified meanings. The
definitions for the defined terms, as designated by initial capital letters, may be found in
Appendix A.
B. INTERPRETATION
This Amended Implementation Plan is intended to provide general guidance for the
implementation of the Agency's programs and activities. It is expected that particular
constraints and opportunities, not fully predictable at this time, will arise in the course of
undertaking the programs and activities described in this Amended Implementation Plan over
the balance of the five-year planning period. Therefore, the Agency intends to use and
interpret this Amended Implementation Plan as a flexible guide, and intends that the Agency's
specific programs and activities, as actually implemented, may vary in their precise timing,
location, cost, expenditure, scope, and content from that set forth in this document.

PART n
GENERAL REDEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES
A. BACKGROUND AND PROJECT STATUS
In November 1983, the Tiburon Town Council adopted the Redevelopment Plan for
the Tiburon Redevelopment Project (the "Redevelopment Plan"), establishing an
approximately 55-acre redevelopment project area (the "Project Area") in downtown Tiburon,
as depicted in Appendix B. The Project Area includes the 38-acre former Southern Pacific
property (now known as the Point Tiburon development), the Town Hall and Reed School
sites at Ned's Way, and portions of Tiburon Boulevard.
The purpose of the Redevelopment Plan is to eliminate blight and to stimulate private
redevelopment of the downtown area, particularly through participation in the Point Tiburon
development and provision of affordable housing as mandated by the CRL. The
Redevelopment Plan is administered by the Redevelopment Agency (the "Agency"), and
provides for allocation to the Agency of property taxes attributable to the growth in assessed
valuation of property in the Proj ect Area above the assessed valuation existing at the time the
Redevelopment Plan was adopted ("Tax Increment Revenue"). The Redevelopment Plan
expires in November 2003, twenty years after its adoption.
On November 21, 1983, in connection with adoption of the Redevelopment Plan, the
Agency entered into a Fiscal Agreement with the local taxing entities that receive property
taxes from the Project Area, including the County of Marin, the Marin Community College
District, the County Superintendent of Schools, the Reed Union School District, the Tamalpais
Union High School District, the Tiburon Fire Protection District, and the Tiburon Sanitary
District.
iThe Fiscal Agreement authorizes the Agency to retain Tax Increment Revenue in the
following amounts and for the following purposes:
1. 20% of all Tax Increment Revenue to provide affordable housing as required
by the CRL and as further described in part III of this Amended Implementation Plan;
2. $472,500 per year to implement the components of the Redevelopment Plan
other than affordable housing; and__
3. Between $30,000 - $60,000 per year to administer the Redevelopment Plan
(this amount is currently $30,000 per year).
The Fiscal Agreement provides for the balance of all Tax Increment Revenue to be
distributed by the Agency among the affected taxing entities, so that such balance is not
available for redevelopment programs of the Agency,
102\05\105612.02
-3-
,
The Agency's primary activity under the Redevelopment Plan has been to assist in the
development of the Point Tiburon development, on the former blighted Southern Pacific
property that comprises most of the Project Area. The Point Tiburon development was
completed in the late 1980s and includes approximately 25,000 square feet of commercial
space, 155 condominium units, and extensive supporting on-site and off-site public
improvements. To pay for the public improvements, the Town of Tiburon formed a
Community facilities District which issued public improvement bonds (the" Point Tiburon
Bonds"). Debt service on the Point Tiburon Bonds is paid from an annual special tax
imposed on the property owners in the Point Tiburon development.
In 1985, the Agency and The Innisfree Companies, the developer of the Point Tiburon
development, entered into an Owner Participation Agreement under the CRL, whereby the
developer agreed to complete the Point Tiburon development and the Agency committed up to
$472,500 of Tax Increment Revenue each year to pay a portion of the debt service on the
Point Tiburon Bonds (thus reducing the amount of the special tax on property owners).
Without the Agency's contribution, the special tax levy would have exceeded the property
owners' ability to pay; the commercial space and condominiums in the proposed development
would not have been marketable; the Point Tiburon development would not have been
fmancially feasible; the development would not have been undertaken; and the primary
purpose of the Redevelopment Plan, to eliminate blight through the redevelopment of the
former Southern Pacific property, would have gone unfulfilled.
Under the Owner Participation Agreement for Point Tiburon, the Agency each year
expends up to $472,500 each year towards repayment of the Point Tiburon Bonds. This level
of expenditure is expected to continue throughout the duration of the Redevelopment Plan
(fiscal year 2003-04). The Agency does not have any revenue source other than the Tax
Increment Revenue it retains under the fiscal Agreement. Consequently, the Agency does not
have any unencumbered revenues to expend for new non-affordable housing programs during
the five-year planning period covered by this Amended Implementation Plan (or beyond).
B. 'AGENCY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOR THE PLANNING PERIOD
Because the Agency will have no unencumbered revenues during the five-year
planning period covered by this Amended Implementation Plan, the Agency's goals and
objectives for the planning period with respect to activities other than affordable housing are
as follows:
Goal. Meet the Agency's eXisting financial and administrative obligations.
Obiective 1. Make each annual payment due under the Point Tiburon Owner
Participation Agreement towards debt service on the Point Tiburon Bonds.
Obiective 2. Make the annual payments due to the various taxing entities under
the fiscal Agreement.
102\05\105612.02

,
Obiective 3. Adequately and timely perform all reporting, accounting, and
administrative functions imposed by the CRL and prudent government practice.
C. PROPOSED PROGRAMS AND EXPENDITURES
Paralleling the Agency's goal and objectives, the Agency's expenditures for programs
other than affordable housing during the five-year planning period have been and are
proposed as follows:

:Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund ("ERAF") in 1994-95 and earlier years.
D. LINKAGE AMONG GOALS, PROGRAMS AND ELIMINATION OF BLIGHTING
INFLUENCES .
The Agency's goal and objectives for the five-year planning period, and the proposed
expenditures for the period with respect to non-affordable housing activities, relate to meeting
existing financial and administrative ~obligations, principally payments of a portion of debt service
on the Point Tiburon Bonds in accordance with the Point Tiburon Owner Participation Agreement.
That obligation was originally incurred by the Agency in 1985 to fund the cost of public
improvements that could not be borne by the private sector, thereby making possible the
development of the Point Tiburon development.
102\05\105612.02
-5-
,
This combined public/private effort to develop the Point Tiburon development, in turn,
eliminated blighting conditions in the Project Area identified at the time of adoption of the
Redevelopment Plan in 1983. These blighting conditions included lack of adequate public
infrastructure to support redevelopment of the former Southern Pacific property, hazardous
materials conditions related to the former Southern Pacific property, and flood control problems
affecting that property. As documented in connection with the Redevelopment Plan adoption,
those blighting conditions were beyond the means of the private sector alone to overcome.
In effect, by continuing to meet its obligations under the 1985 Point Tiburon Owner
Participation Agreement to make debt service payments on the Point Tiburon Bonds, the Agency
is continuing its commitment to fmance the activities that alleviated those blighting influences
related to the former Southern Pacific property and that enabled the public/private development of
the Point Tiburon development.
PART ill
AFFORDABLE HOUSING ACTIVITIES
In recent years, changes to California Community Redevelopment Law have greatly
expanded the role of affordable housing activities within the overall redevelopment program.
Like most other redevelopment agencies, the Agency is expressly required to undertake
activities which will assist in "increasing, improving, and preserving the community's supply
of low and moderate income housing".
A. CRL AFFORDABLE HOUSING REQillREMENTS; ORGANIZATION OF
THIS PART
The CRL requires the housing component of this Amended Implementation Plan to
include:
.
The amount available in the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund and
estimates of both deposits into and expenditures from the Housing Fund during
the five-year planning period.
,
.
The number of new, rehabilitated, or price-restricted housing units to be
assisted during the five-year planning period.
.
If existing affordable housing will be removed as a result of redevelopment
activities, a list of proposed sites for the replacement housing the Agency is
required to produce.
.
Specific information related to the Agency's Affordable Housing Production
Requirement.
102\05\105612.02
-6-
,
. The Affordable Housing Production Plan for the Project Area, showing how the
Agency's Project Area Housing Production Requirement will be met.
. An explanation of how the goals, objectives, projects, and expenditures set
forth in the Amended Implementation Plan will implement the affordable
housing requirements of the CRL, including a housing program for each of the
five years of the Amended Implementation Plan.
The Agency has three basic statutory obligations under the CRL with respect to
affordable housing.
1. Housing Fund ReQuirement. The Agency is required to deposit and expend
specified percentages of Tax Increment Revenue (generally, 20% of total Tax Increment
Revenue each year) for the provision of affordable housing.
2. Affordable Housing Production ReQuirements. Specified minimum percentages
of new or substantially rehabilitated housing units in the Project Area are to be available at a
specified affordable housing cost.
3. Replacement Housing ReQuirement. The Agency must replace housing units
removed from the housing stock as a result of redevelopment activities.
Paralleling these three requirements, Section B of this Part addresses the Agency's
Housing Fund Requirement; Section C contains the Agency's Affordable Housing Production
Plan to meet its Affordable Housing Production Requirements; and Section D discusses the
Replacement Housing Requirement.
B. HOUSING FUND REQUIREMENT
;This section describes the goal, objectives, proposed programs and proposed
expenditures for the Agency's affordable housing program during the five-year planning
period. Since deposits of Tax Increment Revenue made by the Agency into its Low and
Moderate Income Housing Fund (the "Housing Fund") are the primary revenue source to
undertake the Agency's affordable housing program, this section focuses on the use of the
Housing Fund, beginning with a discussion of the legal requirements for the Housing Fund
and including a summary of the funds contained in and to be deposited in the Housing Fund
during the five-year period covered by this Amended Implementation Plan. This section then
outlines the Agency's goal and objectives for its affordable housing program, and concludes
with the Agency's program strategy for affordable housing, including actual and proposed
expenditures and affordable housing production estimates for the five-year period.
102\05\105612.02
-7-
,
1. The Housing Fund Requirement.
a. Basic Requirement. With limited exceptions, the CRL requires the
Agency to set aside in its Housing Fund at least 20% of all Tax Increment Revenue generated
from the Project Area for the purpose of increasing, improving and preserving the
community's supply of low and moderate income housing. The Agency has met, and expects
to continue to satisfy this requirement on an annual basis throughout the life of the
Redevelopment Plan.
The CRL also requires that the Agency encumber or spend money in the Housing
Fund for affordable housing programs in a timely manner, so as to avoid building up an
excess of unused and' unencumbered money in the Housing Fund (known as an "excess
surplus"). As noted later in this section, the Agency has been successful in encumbering and
expending the Housing Fund in a timely manner. An excess surplus has not been incurred,
and the Agency does not expect to generate an excess surplus in its Housing Fund at any time
during the life of the Redevelopment Plan.
b. Assisted Households. Under the CRL, Housing Fund monies must be
"targeted" to certain income levels. The Agency is specifically required to expend its Housing
Funds to assist very low income, low income and moderate income households, generally
defined as:
Very Low Income
incomes at or below 50 of area median income, adjusted
for family size
Low Income
incomes between 51 % and 80% of area median income,
adjusted for family size
Moderate Income
incomes between 81 % and 120% of area median income,
adjusted for family size
According to the Housing Element of Tiburon's General Plan the community's
proportional need for housing affordable to these three income categories is as follows:
Very Low Income
35.3%
Low Income
29.4%
Moderate Income
35.3%
Thus, approximately 65% of Tiburon's need for housing in these three income
categories is for housing affordable to very low income and low income households, while the
remaining 35% of the need is for moderate income housing, In compliance with the goal of
102\05\105612.02
-8-
,
the CRI.., the Agency has targeted its Housing Fund assistance to provide affordable housing
to income categories in proportion to these identified needs.
For instance, as described in detail in subsection 4 below, through the Housing Fund
assistance provided to the Cecilia Place development and proposed to be provided to the
Ned's Way Senior Housing development at the former Town Hall site, the Agency's
cumulative assistance for new housing through the end of the five-year planning period will
generate 11 very low income units and 8 moderate income units, or approximately 59% for
very low/lower income and 41 % for moderate income units. In addition, through its
assistance to the rehabilitation and preservation in the affordable housing stock of the Hilarita
development, the Agency has assisted an additional 101 very low/lower income units.
Together, the new housing production assistance and rehabilitation/preservation assistance
from the Agency's Housing Fund will meet (and exceed) the CRI.. goal for targeting units to
very low and lower income households in proportion to the community-wide need for such
units.
c. Affordable Housing Cost & Duration of Affordabilitv. Housing assisted
with Housing Fund monies must be "available at an affordable housing cost". For housing
assisted by Housing Funds, the following affordable housing cost definitions apply:
Income Level
Rental Housing
Ownership Housing
Very Low Income
30% of 50%
30% of 50%
Lower Income
30% of 60%
30% of 70%
Moderate Income
30% of 110%
35% of 110% but no
less than 28% of
actual income
The first percentage means the percent of income that can be spent on housing costs. The
second percentage means the percent of area median income.
The CRI.. also requires the placement and recordation of affordability controls on any
new or substantially rehabilitated housing assisted with Housing Fund monies. In the case of
new or substantially rehabilitated rental housing, controls must be placed on the assisted
housing units requiring them to remain affordable for the longest feasible time but not less
than 15 years. For owner-occupied housing, the units must remain affordable for the longest
feasible time, but not less than 10 years, although a shorter duration is permitted if the
Agency recoups its Housing Fund investment when an assisted owner-occupied unit is sold at
a non-affordable price or to a non-qualifying buyer. According to statutory definition, the
"longest feasible time" requirement includes, but is not limited to, a period of unlimited
duration.
102\05\105612.02
-9-
,
As described below, the Agency's assistance has complied with these affordability and
duration requirements.
2. Funding for Affordable Housing Activities: Status of Housing Fund. The
Agency has deposited the required 20% of gross Tax Increment Revenue in its Housing Fund
in each fiscal year since the adoption of the Redevelopment Plan in 1983. As a result, the
Agency has no deficit in its Housing Fund deposits.
Table 2 depicts (a) the Housing Fund balance at the beginning of the five-year
planning period covered by this Amended Implementation Plan, (b) the actual or estimated
Tax Increment Revenue, interest, and program income deposited into the Housing Fund for
each fiscal year during the five-year planning period, (c) the actual or estimated expenditures
for each fiscal year, (d) the excess or deficiency of revenues over expenditures from the
Housing Fund for each fiscal year, and (e) the actual or estimated Housing Fund balance at
the end of each fiscal year.

11 This table is organized as follows. The sum of columns B, C, and D for a given fiscal
year constitute the deposits into the -Housing Fund for that fiscal year. Subtracting the
expenditures for the fiscal year (Column E) yields the net increase or decrease in
deposits during the fiscal year, as shown in Column F. Adding the amount in Column
F for a given fiscal year to the fund balance (Column G) from the preceding fiscal
year, yields the fund balance at the end of the fiscal year.
Y See subsection 4, below for a detailed discussion of Housing Fund expenditures.
1/ This deficit is proposed to be funded by a loan from the Town's In-Lieu Housing Fee
Program, to be repaid by the Agency from Housing Fund deposits in fiscal years
following the five-year period covered by this Amended Implementation Plan.
102\05\105612.02
-11-
,
As shown in Table 2, the Agency's Housing Fund balance at the beginning of the five-
year planning period was $1,072,547. During the five-year planning period, it is estimated
that an additional $1,057,938 will be deposited in the Housing Fund, including $798,786 of
Tax Increment Revenue and $255,349 of program income (investment income and
repayments). On the other hand, nearly $2,200,000 of expenditures are anticipated during the
five-year period for the programs described in detail in subsection 4 below, thereby using up
the entire beginning balance and five-year deposits, and leaving a modest deficit of about
$68,000 at the end of the current planning period. In short, the Agency expects to make full
utilization of its Housing Fund to produce affordable housing during the period covered by
this Amended Implementation Plan.
In addition, the Agency has succeeded in leveraging other public funding sources to
complement its Housing Funds in producing the greatest possible number of affordable units
(see discussion of funding sources for the Cecilia Place and Hilarita developments in
subsection 4 below).
Finally, it is expected that the Agency will deposit approximately $600,000 - $750,000
into the Housing Fund in the fiscal years beyond the current five-year planning period.
3, Goal and Obiectives of Affordable Housing Activities. In developing its
affordable housing program, the Agency has been guided by the goals and objectives of the
Town's Housing Element, the legal requirements for affordable housing mandated by the
CRL, and available resources. Based on these factors, the Agency's affordable housing goal
and objectives for the five-year planning period are as follows:
Goal 1. Assist in the development of new affordable housing units,
emphasizing the housing needs of very low income senior citizens.
Obiective 1. Assist in the development of the Cecilia Place
development to provide 15-units of seniors housing affordable to very low income and
moderate income households.
Obiective 2. Assist in the development of the Ned's Way Senior
Housing development to provide 25-units of housing, including 4 units affordable to very low
income households.
Goal 2. Assist in the rehabilitation and preservation of 101 affordable very
low/lower income units in the Hilanta development.
Goal 3. Administer and plan for expenditures from the Housing Fund in a
timely and cost-effective manner.

4. Housing Activities and Exoenditures: The Housing Fund Program. The focus
of Agency affordable housing activities and Housing Fund expenditures during the fIrst three
years (1994-95, 1995-96, and 1996-97) of the fIve-year planning period has been to assist in
the development of 15 affordable new seniors housing units in the Cecilia Place development
located at Cecilia Way outside the Project Area, and to assist in the rehabilitation and
preservation of affordability for the IOI-unit Hilarita development within the Project Area.
The Agency proposes to concentrate its affordable housing efforts and Housing Fund
expenditures during the balance of the planning period (1997-98 and 1998-99) upon the
development of additional newly constructed affordable seniors housing units in the proposed
Ned's Way Seniors Housing development to be located on an approximately 1.5 acre portion
of the former Town Hall site within the Project Area.
The Agency's efforts in these three developments, and in administration of the
Housing Fund, are described in turn. Tables 3 and 4 summarize the Agency's expenditures
and assisted units produced during each year of the fIve-year planning period.
a. Cecilia Place. The Agency acquired the approximately four-acre Cecilia
Place site in May 1994 using $560,000 of Housing Funds. In July 1994, the Agency entered
into a Disposition, Development and Loan Agreement (as later amended, the "DDLA") with
an affIliate of Ecumenical Association of Housing ("EAR"), an experienced non-profIt
affordable housing developer.
The DDLA called for the Agency to sell the site to EAR for $250,00 (a write-down of
$310,000 from the Agency's acquisition cost), and to provide fInancial assistance in the form
of pre-development and construction loans, completion of specifIed site improvements, and
payment of specifIed development fees and costs on behalf of EAR. The total Agency
contribution to the development under the DDLA (net of the purchase price paid by EAR) is
approximately $1,353,000, of which $310,000 (net) was spent just prior to commencement of
the fIve-year planning period, and the balance was spent during the fIrst three years of the
fIve-year planning period. As of the preparation of this Amended Implementation Plan, the
entire amount of Agency assistance has been expended. The DDLA provides for EAR to
repay portions of the Agency expenditure over time, to the extent the development yields
surplus cash after paying all operating costs and specifIed debt service.
EAR has also obtained signifIcant funding from the County's Community
Development Block Grant program ("CDBG") and the federal housing tax credit program to
complement the Agency's assistance for the Cecilia Place development.
In exchange for the Agency assistance, EAR agreed under the DDLA to develop and
operate a 16-unit seniors rental housing development containing a resident-manager's unit, 7
units affordable to very low income seniors households, and an additional 8 units affordable
to moderate income seniors households (actually, households with incomes not exceeding 90%
of area median income, which are categorized as "moderate" income households under the
102\05\105612.02
-13-
CRL housing classification system). To ensure that these affordability levels will be
maintained, EAR agreed to record a 99-year regulatory agreement (a form of deed restriction)
against the property, enforceable by the Agency and the Town.
After EAR secured all necessary debt and equity financing (in addition to the Agency
assistance) and all necessary land use approvals, the Agency sold the Cecilia Place site to
EAR in October 1995. EAR completed and opened the Cecilia Place development for
occupancy in September 1997.
b. Hilarita Housing. The Hilarita housing development adjacent to the
former Town Hall Site, was constructed in the 1970's to provide affordable housing through a
federal assistance program. Under the terms of the federal assistance, the owner of Hilarita
had the ability to convert the development to market-rate housing in the 1990's thereby
depriving the community of an important affordable housing resource.
To prevent this occurrence and to provide for needed rehabilitation of the Hilarita
units, a nonprofit entity, the Hilarita/Tiburon Ecumenical Association, acquired and
rehabilitated the development during 1994-96 and has agreed to maintain the affordability of
its 101 units to very low and lower income households for 50 more years. The new owner
obtained major funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
and the County CDBG Program. To round out the needed financing, the Agency contributed
approximately $224,000 (a portion of which has been reimbursed to the Agency as program
income to the Housing Fund) for landscaping, asbestos abatement, and other costs. Because
the project did not involve substantial rehabilitation, the Agency was not required to impose
separate affordability deed restrictions on the property, and instead has taken advantage of the
extensive HUD regulatory controls to assure the long-term continued affordability of the 101
upgraded Hilarita units to very low and lower income households.
c. Ned's Way Senior Housing. In July 1997, the Town redesignated and
rezoned, the former Town Hall site to permit development of a 25-unit senior housing
development on a portion of the site. The Agency and the Town are completing discussions
for the Agency to acquire the housing site from the Town for its fair market value of
$1,400,000. The Agency would use currently available Housing Funds and moneys borrowed
from the Town's In-Lieu Housing Fee program (to be repaid from future Housing Fund
deposits) to pay the purchase price. The purchase of the site by the Agency is anticipated to
occur in late 1997 or early 1998.
In August 1997, the Agency selected and began negotiations with Burman-Feldman, a
for-profit housing developer regarding development of the site. While the precise transaction
structure is still being designed, it is envisioned that Burman-Feldman would acquire the site
from the Agency, develop 25 market rate for-sale units available to households containing
seniors, and agree to sell 4 of the 25 units at affordable housing cost to very low income
seniors households (or sell 4 units to the Agency at market value, for rental by the Agency at
affordable housing cost to very low income seniors households).
102\05\105612.02
-14-
,
The Agency anticipates that its net subsidy to making the 4 units affordable to very
low income seniors households will be in the range of $800,000. The Agency may provide
such assistance by writing down the purchase price to the developer accordingly, or by
making a cash subsidy payment to the homebuyers upon completion of the units and sale to
qualifying households. The Agency's net expenditure would be provided from the Housing
Fund (with a possible short-term loan from the Town's In Lien Housing Fee program). The
affordable units would be deed restricted for an extended time period meeting the
requirements of the CRL.
While several development hurdles must be overcome, including providing for a
suitable relocation of the police station currently on the site, it is hoped that development can
begin in 1998 and that the 4 very low income units can be made available to qualifying
seniors households by 1999.
d. Housing Fund Administration. Finally, the Agency proposes to use a
limited portion of the Housing Fund for planning, legal services, and administration of the
above-described programs. As shown in Table 3, it is anticipated that approximately
$107,000, or about 5% of total Housing Fund expenditures for the five-year period, will go
toward planning and administrative costs, with the remaining 95% of Housing Fund
expenditures devoted directly to affordable housing production. The Agency believes this
ratio represents a highly efficient use of Housing Funds for actual production of affordable
units.

In addition to the new units produced with Agency Housing Fund assistance, 101 units at
the Hilarita development were rehabilitated and preserved for long-term affordability to very
low/lower income households in 1994-95 and 1995-96.
C. AFFORDABLE HOUSING PRODUCTION REQUIREMENTS AND PLAt"!
This section constitutes the Affordable Housing Production Plan of the Agency as required
by Health and Safety Code Section 33413(b)(4), This section begins with a summary of the legal
components of the Affordable Housing Production Requirements, followed by a quantification of
the Agency's past and anticipated future Affordable Housing Production Requirements. This
section concludes with a description of the Agency's proposed strategy to meet the limited portion
of its Affordable Housing Production Requirements that has not already been satisfied.
1. The Affordable Housing Production Reauirements, The CRL imposes two Affordable
Housing Production Requirements on the Agency: one requirement relates to new or substantially
rehabilitated housing developed by the Agency itself anywhere in the community; and the second
requirement relates to new or substantially rehabilitated housing developed within the Project Area
by any entity (private or public) other than the Agency, Housing receiving Agency financial or
land assembly assistance but owned and developed by a private entity or another government
entity (such as a housing authority) falls within the second requirement. Before describing these
two requirements quantitatively, a brief refresher about nomenclature is in order.
"Very low income household," "moderate income household" and "affordable housing cost"
have the same meanings in the context of the Affordable Housing Production Requirements as in
the context of the Housing Fund Requirement described in Section B above. (Please refer to the
definitions provided in Section B and in Appendix A.) A "substantially rehabilitated unit" is one
whose post-rehabilitation value exceeds its pre-rehabilitation value by at least 25%.
Specifically, the Affordable Housing Production Requirements are as follows:
. a. Agencv-Developed Housing Anvwhere in the Community. Fifteen percent of all
new and substantially rehabilitated housing developed by the Agency anywhere in the community
must be available for occupancy at an affordable housing cost to moderate income households.
An additional fifteen percent of all new and substantially rehabilitated housing developed by the
Agency anywhere in the community must be available for occupancy at affordable housing cost to
Y.ID low income households.
b, Housing Developed In Proiect Area Bv Others Than The Agency, Nine percent
of all new and substantially rehabilitated housing developed within the Project Area by private or
public entities (other than the Agency) must be available for occupancy at affordable housing cost
to moderate income households, An additional six percent of all new and substantially
rehabilitated housing developed within the Project Area by private or public entities (other than
the Agency) must be available for occupancy at affordable housing cost to Y.ID low income
households,
102\05\105612.02
-17-
,
Housing Fund deposits may be used to meet the Affordable Housing Production
Requirements. To qualifY as a unit that fulfills a portion of the Affordable Housing Production
Requirement, a unit must be deed restricted to remain affordable to the applicable income
category (moderate income or very low income) for the longest feasible time and in any event for
a period that continues through the expiration of land use controls under the Redevelopment Plan,
currently scheduled for November 2003. (If the unit is receiving Housing Fund assistance, a
longer duration of affordability may apply, as discussed in Section B above),
The Affordable Housing Production Requirements need not be satisfied for each individual
housing development, but must be satisfied in the aggregate over a ten-year period. Because of
the ten year compliance period for this particular requirement, this Section covers a longer period
than the balance of the Amended Implementation Plan, which covers only a five-year period.
The Agency's first compliance period for the Affordable Housing Production Requirement
runs for the ten-year period from 1994-95 through 2003-04 (or, in effect, through the end of the
life of the Redevelopment Plan in November 2003). In estimating the Agency's obligations for
this ten-year compliance period, new and substantially rehabilitated housing undertaken from the
time the Redevelopment Plan was adopted (November 1983) up until the beginning of the ten-
year compliance period must also be taken into account. In effect, then, this Affordable Housing
Production Plan must consider new and substantially rehabilitated housing throughout the entire
twenty year duration of the Redevelopment Plan, from 1983 through 2003.
2, Ouantification of Affordable Housing Production Requirements,
a. Agencv-Developed Housing, As of the date of this Amended Implementation
Plan, the Agency has not itself developed any housing in Tiburon, The Agency has no plans to
develop any housing itself in the future, since affordable housing can much more efficiently be
developed by experienced for-profit and non-profit developers than by the Agency, Consequently,
the Agency does not have, and does not expect to incur, any Affordable Housing Production
Requirement for Agency-developed housing.
b. Housing Developed In the Proiect Area Bv Others, As of the date of this
Amended Implementation Plan, the only newly developed housing units in the Project Area by
private or public entities (other than the Agency) since the adoption of Redevelopment Plan are
the 155 condominium units in the Point Tibljron development. As of the date of this Amended
Implementation Plan, no housing units in the Project Area have been substantially rehabilitated
since the adoption of the Redevelopment Plan, (The Hilarita development, while undergoing
important physical upgrading, was not rehabilitated to an extent that would constitute "substantial
rehabilitation" for purposes of the Affordable Housing Production Requirements.)
102\05\] 05612.02
-18-
The Project Area has very little land available for new residential development.
Consequently, the only new housing that is anticipated to be developed in the future by the
private or public sector is the 25-unit senior he using development on a portion of the former
Town Hall site. That development and the proposed Agency assistance were described in Section
B above. No substantial rehabilitation of existing housing in the Project Area is contemplated
during the ten-year compliance period for this Affordable Housing Production Plan.
In summary, the total number of new and substantially rehabilitated housing units that have
been or are anticipated to be undertaken by the private or public sector (other than the Agency)
during the entire twenty year life of the Redevelopment Plan is 180 units, consisting of the
existing l55-unit Point Tiburon development and the proposed 25-unit development on the former
Town Hall site.
Consequently, the Agency's total Affordable Housing Production Requirement for housing
developed in the Project Area is as follows:
. Moderate Income Units: 180 total units x 9% = 16.2 units
. Very Low Income Units: 180 totsl units x 6% = 10.8 units
Rounding both requirements to the next higher whole unit, the Agency's Affordable
Housing Production Requirement for Project Area housing is 17 moderate income units and 11
very low income units.
3, Strategv for Meeting the Proiect Area Affordable Housing Production Reauirements,
This subsection describes the strategy by which the Agency has met, or plans to meet, the Project
Area Affordable Housing Production Requirement quantified above. (No strategy for Agency-
developed housing is required since, as described above, no Agency-developed housing has been
or is anticipated to be undertaken in the community,)
a, Moderate Income Units, Twenty of the condominium units in the Point Tiburon
development (within the Project Area) assisted by the Agency have been deed restricted by the
Town for occupancy at affordable housing cost to moderate income households for at least the
minimum period required by the CRL.
In addition, 8 units in the Cecilia Place development (assisted by the Agency as described
in Section B above) have been deed.restricted by the Agency for availability at affordable housing
cost to moderate income households for 99 years after completion of the development, thereby far
exceeding the minimum period required by the CRL, The Cecilia Place development is outside
the Project Area, However, under the current provisions of Health and Safety Code Section
334l3(b)(2)(A)(ii), the Agency may obtain one unit of credit toward its Project Area Affordable
Housing Production Requirement for each two units of deed-restricted new affordable housing
developed outside the Project Area. On this basis, the 8 units of affordable moderate income
housing developed and deed-restricted in the Cecilia Place development are worth 4 units of credit
to the Agency,
102\05\105612.02
-19-
,
In total, then, the Agency has caused 24 units of affordable moderate income housing (20
units at Point Tiburon and 4 units at Cecilia Place) to be developed toward its Project Area
Affordable Housing Production Requirement for moderate income housing. In comparison, the
Agency's total obligation over the entire life of the Redevelopment Plan is only 17 units of
moderate income housing, as calculated in the preceding subsection. Therefore, the Agency has
already met and exceeded its anticipated life-of-the Redevelopment Plan requirement for
production of affordable moderate income housing in the Project Area.
b, Verv Low Income Units. To date, the Agency has assisted the private sector in
the development of 7 new housing units in the Cecilia Place development that have been deed-
restricted by the Agency for long-term (99 year) affordability to very low income households.
Because these units are located outside the Project Area, they count on a "two- for-one" basis
under current Health and Safety Code Section 33413(b)(2)(A)(ii) to yield 3.5 units toward the
very low income portion of the Agency's Project Area Affordable Housing Production
Requirement. Since, as calculated in the preceding subsection, the very low income housing
production requirement throughout the entire life of the Redevelopment Plan is estimated to be 11
units, the Agency has a remaining Project Area Affordable Housing Production Requirement of
7.5 very low income units, The Agency intends to achieve the production of these remaining
units through the following two strategies:
(I) Ned's Wav Development. As detailed in Section B, the Agency proposes
to use Housing Fund money to assist in the acquisition of the site for the anticipated 25-unit
seniors housing development on a portion of the former Town Hall site, and to cause the long-
term affordability of 4 units in the development for very low income households, This
development is anticipated to be completed in approximately two years (by 1999). Since this
development is in the Project Area, all 4 units will count toward the remaining Project Area
Affordable Housing Production Requirement of 7.5 units, thereby further reducing that
requirement to 3.5 remaining very low income units to be produced.
(2) Other Programs. The Agency proposes to fulfill the last 3.5 units of its
very 10\V income unit production obligation through assistance to private owners/developers in
small scale developments including new construction, substantial rehabilitation, or acquisition of
price-restrictions on existing units, as permitted by the CRL. These remaining units may be
located outside the Project Area (on a "two- for-one basis n) as opportunities arise.
While specific sites and developments have not yet been identified, the Agency should have
sufficient Tax Increment Revenue and Town In-Lieu Housing Fee revenues to fulfill this
remaining small obligation before the end of the current ten-year Affordable Housing Production
Plan compliance period and the end of the Redevelopment Plan, (i.e" by November 2003--six
years from now,) In conjunction with preparation of the Agency's next Implementation Plan
(scheduled for adoption in 1999), the Agency intends to propose a more precise program for the
last 3,5 units of very low income housing that it will cause to be produced in fulfillment of its
remaining Project Area Affordable Housing Production Requirement.
102\05\105612.02
-20-
,
D. REPLACEMENT HOUSING REQillREMENT.
In general, when residential units housing low and moderate income persons are destroyed
or taken out of the low-and moderate-income market as part of a redevelopment project, a
redevelopment agency must replace those units within a specified time in accordance with a plan
adopted following public review.
The Agency has incurred no replacement housing obligation under the CRL to date. Given
its complete lack of uncommitted Tax Increment Revenue, the Agency is also not likely to incur a
replacement housing obligation during the five-year Amended Implementation Plan period (or
beyond). However, should the Agency obtain funds from the Town, developers, or other sources,
and should these funds be used in a manner that results in the removal of dwelling units from the
affordable housing stock, the Agency will meet all CRL requirements, including the preparation of
a specific replacement housing plan prior to removal of such units.
