PART V
PUBLIC BENEFITS
5.1
The City of San Bernardino will receive significant benefits by the
initiation of this Project as proposed by the Applicant and
particularly through the utilization of the financing method as is
available under Ordinance No. 3815, as amended, of the City of San
Bernardino. Due to the fact that conventional interest rates for
construction and permanent financing for the type of multifamily
rental housing construction contemplated by the Applicant are at such
an extremely high level on conventionally borrowed funds, if
available at all, neither the Applicant nor any other persons or
legal entities are able to provide the type of modern and attractive
affordable rental housing that is needed within the City of San
Bernardino.
5.1.1
The Project will provide long term affordable rental
housing opportunities for the inhabitants of the City of
San Bernardino.
5.1.2
Construction of the Project is anticipated to add
approximately $22,500,000 of assessed valuation to the tax
rolls of the City.
5.1.3
The useful method of financing provided for in
Ordinance No. 3815 of the City vis-a-vis the use of the
conventional method will permit the Applicant to complete
the financing and construction of the Project within an
accelerated time frame. The method of financing provided
in Ordinance No. 3815 will provide new sources of financing
to the Applicant and such financing will be made available
at lower tax-exempt interest rates.
5.2 The City will benefit, as can be demonstrated pursuant to Section 1
of Ordinance No. 3815, as amended, of the City of San Bernardino, in
that affordable rental housing opportunities will be generated by the
proposed Project. The Applicant is not attempting to construct said
proposed Project merely for the financial inducement that is offered
pursuant to the Ordinance, but rather due to the long-term business
reasons that are significant due to the location of the proposed
Project and the real economic benefits available to the community.
There are no detriments that can be incurred by the City with regard
to this type of financing for this Project, and the City of San
Bernardino will receive substantial benefits through increases in
assessed valuation of property, plus the increased long-term
affordable housing opportunities that will be available to the local
residents of the City.

and/or to assist the City in complying with all state and federal

revenues or expenditures from taxes from the state or any of its

is involved. Project revenues are the sole security for bonds of the
City. The federal guarantees, if any, enhance these revenues and
income and the security of the bonds.

Resolution No. 81-410 of the City, one percent (1%) of the principal
amount of the bond issue shall be deposited in the City Treasury in
