JOINT PUBLIC HEARING JPH1. Consideration for approval of actions in connection with Lancaster Housing Authority-owned parcels related to compliance with the Surplus Land Act and a Disposition and Development Agreement with Sarah’s Care Home. Location: Vacant parcels near the southwest corner of Kingtree Avenue and Avenue J-2 (APNs 3123-016-905 and -906) Recommendation: 1. Adopt Resolution No.23-XX, declaring the following Housing Authority-owned property as “exempt surplus land” pursuant to Government Code Section 54221(f)(1)(F)(i): Vacant parcels near the southwest corner of Kingtree Avenue and Avenue J-2 (3123-016-905 and - 906) 2. Adopt Resolution No. 23-XX, approving the Disposition and Development Agreement, accepting the Health and Safety Code Section 33433 Report, and making certain findings pursuant to Health and Safety Code 33433. 3. Authorize the Executive Director, or his designee, to execute all related documents. Sarah’s Care Home initially reached out to staff regarding the purchase of the subject properties for the full appraised value of $1.3 million. The proposed DDA is an agreement between the Authority and the developer for the sale and development of the Site. The DDA governs the Developer’s right to develop the Project. The DDA also governs the Developer’s obligations with respect to the acquisition of the land, requirements for closing, and schedule of performance, and provides a legal framework for addressing default. Under the DDA, Sarah’s Care Home will develop a minimum of sixty-five (65) units of affordable housing for seniors age 55+. Units will be provided in a multi-family apartment complex within the Lancaster Health District area. While precise Area Median Income (AMI) levels for the subject units are yet to be determined, the developer envisions that AMIs will range from 30% to 80%. NEW BUSINESS
