TOWN OF TIBURON Redevelopment Board Meeting
1505 Tiburon Boulevard February 16, 2011
Agenda Item:
Tiburon, CA 94920
Chair and Board of the Tiburon Redevelopment Agency
From: Executive Director and Agency Counsel
Subject: Recommendation to Approve a Cooperation and Funding Agreement
between the Town and the Tiburon Redevelopment Agency for the
Lyford Drive Parking Project
Reviewed By:
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The Tiburon Redevelopment Agency's 1983 Redevelopment Plan described a number of general
objectives and specific projects to eliminate physical and economic blight in the Town. These
include improvements to Tiburon Boulevard and to parking available to the downtown. At this
point, the Agency's outstanding legal obligation consists of creating new affordable housing
within the Plan Area and the Agency has restricted funds for that purpose. However, the Agency
also possesses a reserve of $290,000. This sum is the unexpended remainder of funds set aside to
reimburse the Town for administrative expenses associated with the Agency.
The Town is currently considering a project to improve the right of way area on the south side of
Tiburon Boulevard near the intersection with Lyford Drive. This area is currently unsightly,
consisting of dirt shoulders on either side of the Boulevard, generally used for informal parking.
The current state is particularly unfortunate because almost all visitors to Tiburon by car pass the
site immediately before entering the downtown area. The project would both beautify this
gateway location and improve the parking area, thereby making the site more attractive to
visitors. The project is consistent with the objectives of the Tiburon Redevelopment Plan and
may be funded by the Agency's $290,000 reserve. If the Town abandons the Project, the Agency
would retain the funds.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board of the Tiburon Redevelopment Agency:
Move to authorize the Executive Director to Execute the Cooperation and Funding
Agreement with the Town of Tiburon.

Tiburon, CA 94920
To:
Chair and Board of the Tiburon Redevelopment Agency
From: Executive Director and Agency Counsel
Subject: Recommendation to Approve a Cooperation Agreement between the
Town and the Tiburon Redevelopment Agency for the Transfer of
Housing Funds to the Town of Tiburon
Reviewed By:
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The Tiburon Redevelopment Agency's 1983 Redevelopment Plan has expired and the Agency's
sole outstanding legal obligation consists of creating new affordable housing within the Plan
Area. The Agency has restricted funds for that purpose, consisting of $862,445.45 in cash and
$663,411 in the form of a note from Cecilia Place (collectively, "Housing Fund"). However,
given the extraordinary cost of land acquisition and construction in the Town, the monies
available in the Housing Fund are currently insufficient to create the necessary affordable
housing. Under the Governor's proposed budget, the Agency may be terminated before it can
fulfill its housing obligation.
The Town also has restricted housing funds and plans to continue to amass such funds until it has
sufficient to construct or purchase new affordable housing units. Staff proposes to add the
Housing Fund to the Town's housing reserves, on condition that the funds be used to satisfy the
Agency's creation obligations.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board of the Tiburon Redevelopment Agency:
Move to authorize the Executive Director to Execute the Cooperation Agreement with the

A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN OF TIBURON
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AUTHORIZING THE
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO EXECUTE A
COOPERATION AND FUNDING AGREEMENT WITH
THE TIBURON REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY TO FUND A
STREET AND PARKING IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AND
OTHER IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS CONSISTENT WITH
THE TIBURON REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
Recitals
1. In 1983, the Town formed the Tiburon Redevelopment Agency ("Agency") to eliminate
blight and formulate and carry out redevelopment projects to permit orderly residential,
commercial and open space development in the planning area.
2. On September 2 1983, the Agency adopted the Redevelopment Plan for the Tiburon
Redevelopment Project ("Redevelopment Plan") to eliminate and reduce aspects of
physical and economic blight within the Tiburon Redevelopment Project Area (the
"Project Area") by, among other things, improving Tiburon Boulevard and providing
public parking.
3. The Agency currently is in possession of unallocated funds in the amount of $290,000.
4. The right of way area on the south side of Tiburon Boulevard near the intersection with
Lyford Drive ("Project Site") is unsightly and is commonly used for informal head-in
parking on the dirt shoulder, which results in potentially hazardous turning motions
across the boulevard. The Project Site serves as a gateway to the downtown shopping
area of the Town.
5. The Town is currently in the planning stages of a project ("Lyford Drive Project") for the
Project Site, which site lies within and contiguous to the Project Area and is the gateway
to the Tiburon downtown.
6. The Town Council of the Town has found that (1) the construction of the Project is of
benefit to the Project Area by helping to eliminate blight within the Project Area; (2) no
other reasonable means of financing the Project are available to the community; and (3)
the payment of funds for the Project is consistent with the implementation plan adopted
pursuant to Section 33490.
7. The Lyford Drive Project will enhance the aesthetic appeal of the Project Site, improve
Reso RDA Appoval of Lyford Ag 2-16-11 final. doc
the parking available in that location and improve the safety of motorists using the
parking area.
8. In light of recent public works projects, prevailing and anticipated revenue shortfalls, the
Town's available funding for the project is less than anticipated costs. The Town will not
be able to finance the Lyford Project without assistance from the Agency as provided
herein.
9. The Parties desire to formally provide for the Agency to contribute $290,000 ("Agency
Contribution") to the Town to fund a portion of the costs and expenses incurred by the
Town prior to and following execution of this Agreement in connection with the portion
of the Lyford Drive Project that lies within the Project Area, including, without
limitation, Project planning, engineering and design, environmental review of the Project,
the preparation of the Redevelopment Plan and reports related thereto, including
consultant contract and administrative costs, and related planning matters, all as set forth
in the Cooperation and Reimbursement Agreement for Improvement of Tiburon
Boulevard Right of Way Near the Lyford-Drive Intersection ("Cooperation Agreement")
attached to this resolution as Exhibit A.
10. In addition, the parties wish to provide that in the event that the Town decides not to
proceed with the Lyford Drive Project, the Town is authorized to use the Agency
Contribution for other purposes or projects consistent with the Tiburon Redevelopment
Plan.
11. Approval of the Agreement is not a project subject to the California Environmental
Quality Act ("CEQA"), because the Agreement does not commit the Agency to take any
action that could cause any physical change in the environment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town of Tiburon:
1. The facts set forth in this Resolution are true and correct.
2. The Agency finds as follows:
(a) That the acquisition of land or the installation or construction of the buildings, facilities,
structures or other improvements that are publicly owned, as contemplated by this Resolution, are of
benefit to the project area by helping to eliminate blight within the project area or providing housing
for low- or moderate-income persons.
(b) That no other reasonable means of financing the acquisition of the land or installation or
construction of the buildings, facilities, structures, or other improvements that are publicly owned,
are available to the community.

(c) That the payment of funds for the acquisition of land or the cost of buildings, facilities,

the Tiburon Redevelopment Agency, the Town of Tiburon and the
Marin Housing Authority for the Transfer and Use of Housing Funds
Reviewed By:
AMENDED STAFF REPORT
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The Tiburon Redevelopment Agency's 1983 Redevelopment Plan has expired and the Agency's
sole outstanding legal obligation consists of creating new affordable housing within the Plan
Area. The Agency has restricted funds for that purpose, consisting of $862,445.45 in cash and
$663,411 in the form of a note from Cecilia Place (collectively, "Housing Fund"). The Agency's
adopted five-year Implementation Plan provides for the use of the Housing Fund to create
affordable housing as required by the Redevelopment Plan and the Town's Housing Element.
However, The Implementation Plan's proposed sites are currently unavailable, but the Plan
provides that the Agency's specific projects and program may vary from those outlined in therein,
to reflect unpredictable constraints and opportunities.
Given the extraordinary cost of land acquisition and construction in the Town, the monies
available in the Housing Fund are currently insufficient to create the necessary affordable
housing. As a further constraint, the Governor's proposed budget, the Agency may be terminated
before it can fulfill its housing obligation. To meet the Town and Agency's legal housing
requirements, staff recommends a partnership with another agency with resources and expertise
in the field.
The Marin Housing Authority has indicated a willingness to enter into an agreement with the
Agency to use the funds to implement an affordable housing program consistent with the Tiburon
Redevelopment Plan and state law, subject to the direction of the Town. The Town would be a
party to the agreement to ensure effective planning and policy oversight. The agreement would
substantially conform to the attached draft. In the event that the Executive Director is unable to
Wcl -C u n,,
negotiate an acceptable agreement with the Authority, the Director would be authorized to
negotiate and execute a similar agreement with an experienced non-profit developer.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board of the Tiburon Redevelopment Agency:

Cooperation Agreement with the Town of Tiburon and the Marin Housing Authority.

APPROVING AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING AGREEMENT
AND MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS RELATED THERETO
WHEREAS, the Town Council of the Town of Tiburon ("Town") has adopted the
Redevelopment Plan (the "Redevelopment Plan") for the Tiburon Redevelopment
Project Area (the "Project Area"); and
WHEREAS, the Tiburon Redevelopment Agency (the "Agency") is engaged in various
activities in its efforts to provide affordable housing and to remove the blighting conditions that
still remain in the Project Area; and
WHEREAS, in keeping with the goals of the Agency to eliminate blight and reduce
physical and economic blight and to provide affordable housing in accordance with the
Redevelopment Plan and Agency's current Implementation Plan (the "Implementation Plan''), the
Town and Agency have been working cooperatively regarding the development of affordable
housing and certain public improvements in the Project Area; and
WHEREAS, due to the complexity of affordable housing projects with varying funding
sources, the Agency and the Town desire to enter into an Affordable Housing Agreement
("Agreement", a draft of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, with the
Marin County Housing Authority ("Authority") through which the Agency shall provide funding
to the Authority from the Agency's Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund (the "Housing
Fund"), the Town shall provide oversight, monitoring and reports to the state and the Authority
shall work with developers to develop and provide funding for projects to increase, improve, and
preserve the supply of affordable housing within the Project Area and the territorial jurisdiction
of the Town, and
WHEREAS, implementation of the Agreement will assist the Agency to accomplish the
stated goals in the Redevelopment Plan and its current Implementation Plan as described in the
staff report accompanying this Resolution (the "Staff Report"); and
WHEREAS, under the California Redevelopment Law (Health and Safety Code Section
33100 et seq.; the "Law"), before the Agency can expend money from its Housing Fund outside
the area of the Redevelopment Plan, the Agency and the Town must make specified findings
pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33334.2(8); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4), approval of the
Agreement is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"),
because the Agreement consists of the creation of a governmental funding mechanism for
Tiburon Redevelopment Agency Resolution No. XX-2011 02116111
affordable housing projects, but does not commit funds to any specific affordable housing
project, in that environmental review required by CEQA shall be completed prior to the
commencement of any affordable housing project pursuant to the Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Staff Report, the Redevelopment Plan, the report to Town Council
accompanying the Redevelopment Plan, and the Implementation Plan provide additional
information upon which the findings and actions set forth in this Resolution are based.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Tiburon Redevelopment
Agency as follows:
1. All the Recitals above are true and correct and incorporated herein.
2. In compliance with Section 33334.2(g) of the Law, the Agency hereby finds that the
Agreement properly allows assistance to affordable housing projects located outside the Project
Area will be of benefit to the Redevelopment Plan, , in that there may be insufficient residential
property within the Project Area to create the needed housing and that providing the funds would
benefit the Project Area by creating affordable housing throughout the Town that would be
available to workers and residents in the Project Area.. This finding is further based on the facts
and analysis in the Staff Report incorporated in this Resolution.
3. The Agency agrees to make the Agency expenditures as called for in the Agreement for
affordable housing projects pursuant to the Agreement, subject to completion of any
environmental review required by CEQA prior to the commencement of any project pursuant to
the Agreement.
4. The Agency hereby approves the Agreement and authorizes the Agency's Executive
Director to negotiate, enter into and execute the Agreement on behalf of the Agency for the
funding and completion of affordable housing projects pursuant to the Agreement, substantially
in the form attached hereto, with such revisions as are reasonably determined necessary by the
Agency signatory, such determination to be conclusively deemed to have been made by the
execution of the Agreement by the Agency signatory. The Agency Executive Director is
authorized to implement the Agreement and take all further actions and execute all other
documents which are necessary or appropriate to carry out the Agreement.
5. The Agency hereby approves and appropriates (to the extent not already appropriated)
the amounts necessary to fund the Agency's obligations under the Agreement as a lawful
expenditure of Agency funds under the Law. The Agency's current fiscal year budget is hereby
amended to the extent necessary to implement the foregoing appropriation.
6. In the event that the Executive Director is unable to negotiate an acceptable Agreement
with the Authority, the Executive Director is authorized to negotiate and execute a substantially
similar agreement with an experienced non-profit developer to create the necessary affordable
Tiburon Redevelopment Agency Resolution No. XX-2011 02116111 2
housing. In the further event that the Executive Director is unable to negotiate an acceptable
agreement with an appropriate nonprofit corporation, the Town shall retain the Housing Fund in
a segregated fund for future uses consistent with the Tiburon Redevelopment Plan and the
Implementation Plan.
7. The Agency Executive Director is hereby authorized and directed to file Notices of
Exemption with respect to the Agreement in accordance with the applicable provisions of CEQA.
8. The Agency Executive Director is hereby authorized to take such further actions as
may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the Agency's obligations pursuant to this Resolution
and the Agreement.
8. The Agency Secretary shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.

A. Pursuant to the California Community Redevelopment Law (Health and Safety
Code Section 33000 et se q., the "Redevelopment Law"), the Town Council of the Town has
adopted and the Agency is responsible for implementing the Redevelopment Plan (the
"Redevelopment Plan") for the Town of Tiburon Redevelopment Project Area (the "Project
Area").
B. To assist in implementing the Redevelopment Plan, the Agency has adopted a five
(5)-year implementation plan (the "Implementation Plan") pursuant to Section 33490 of the
Redevelopment Law. The Implementation Plan contemplates developing housing affordable to
very low, low and moderate income households at six sites, none of which are currently available
for this purpose.
C. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Sections 33334.2 and 33334.3, the Agency
has the obligation to establish a Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund (the "Housing Fund")
and to expend monies in the Housing Fund for the purposes of increasing, improving, and
preserving the community's supply of housing available at affordable housing cost to low and
moderate income households, lower income households, very low income households, and
extremely low income households. At this time, the Agency must develop 5.5 very low income
units to meet the Agency's total Affordable Housing Production Requirement ("Affordable
Housing Requirement").
D. The Authority is a public corporation created to finance, construct, improve,
maintain, lease, sell and manage decent safe and sanitary housing for people of low and
moderate incomes. `Section 34311 of the Health and Safety Code authorizes the Authority to
enter into this Agreement, which is necessary and convenient to the exercise of its powers.
E. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33125, the Agency has authority to
execute contracts necessary or convenient to the exercise of its powers.
F. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33220(e), the Town is authorized to
enter into this Agreement to assist the Agency in perfonning powers and obligations under the
Redevelopment Law.
Coop Ag MHA 2-16-1 LDOC
G. The tasks the Authority has agreed to undertake under this Agreement support the
Authority's corporate purposes and mission.
H. The Agency desires to contract with the Authority to provide Housing Funds to
the Authority for use by the Authority to increase, improve, and preserve the supply of
affordable housing in the Project Area or within the territorial jurisdiction of the Town,
consistent with the Redevelopment Plan, the Redevelopment Law, the Implementation Plan, and
the Housing Element of the General Plan of the Town of Tiburon (the "Housing Element").
1. The Housing Element includes an assessment of the existing and projected
housing needs of the community, including the Town's regional fair share allocation of the
regional housing need. The housing needs assessment in the Housing Element in effect as of the
date of this Agreement indicates a need in the Town for 18 housing units affordable to extremely
low income households, 36 housing units affordable to very low income households, 21 housing
units affordable to lower income households, and 27 housing units affordable to moderate
income households.
J. The parties desire that the Agency will provide Housing Fund monies to the
Authority, which the Authority will utilize to finance Housing Fund-eligible activities to
increase, improve, and preserve the supply of affordable housing within the Project Area and the
territorial jurisdiction of the Town, consistent with the Redevelopment Plan, the Redevelopment
Law, the Implementation Plan and the Housing Element, as they currently exist or as they may
be amended from time to time.
K. The parties have set forth in Exhibit A attached to and incorporated in this
Agreement by this reference, a list of potential projects and programs that the Authority may
undertake utilizing funds provided pursuant to this Agreement. Exhibit A in its entirety is
referred to in this Agreement as the "Affordable Housing Plan" and the projects and programs
listed in the Affordable Housing Plan from time to time are referred to individually as an
"Affordable Housing Project" or "Affordable` Housing Program", as applicable, and collectively
as the "Affordable Housing Projects and Programs." The Affordable Housing Plan set forth in
Exhibit A is subject to modification as provided in Section 2.2.
L. The Affordable Housing Projects and Programs are consistent with the
Redevelopment Plan, the Housing Element and the Implementation Plan. Implementation of the
Affordable Housing Projects and Programs will benefit the Project Area and will assist in the
elimination of blight in the Project Area and the provision of affordable housing in the
community. The use of funds as provided in this Agreement is authorized by the Redevelopment
Law, and the Agency and Town Council have made all findings required under the
Redevelopment Law for such use.
M. Pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4), approval of the
Agreement is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"),
because this Agreement consists of the creation of a governmental funding mechanism for
various affordable housing projects and programs, but does not commit funds to any specific
project or program, in that environmental review required by CEQA shall be completed prior to
2
Coop Ag MHA 2-16-1 LDOC
the commencement of any Affordable Housing Project or Affordable Housing Program listed in
the Affordable Housing Plan contained in Exhibit A.
N. The Town will provide on-going monitoring and provide all required reporting to
the State of California.

which are acknowledged, the Authority, the Town and the Agency agree as follows:

between the Executive Director on behalf of the Authority, the Town Manager on behalf of the

the Town Council and the Agency Board; and, provided further, however, that any addition of
any Affordable Housing Project or Program to the Affordable Housing Plan shall be conditioned
upon the making of all required Redevelopment Law findings and CEQA findings by the Town
Council and the Agency Board in their policy discretion.
