Included in the project are requests for two separate industrial development bonds and a cooperative agreement with the County of San Bernardino to issue a multifamily mortgage revenue bond. The developer has requested inducements for the industrial development bonds at this time in order to have the inducement prior to the close of 1985. Pending action by the U. S. Congress may make this type of financing very difficult to obtain after January I, 1986. However, projects which receive inducements prior to January I, 1986, may be able to fund in 1986. Resolution A is for the acquisition and rehabilitation of facilities currently owned by Campus Crusade. The facility will be bought by International Christian Graduate University. The amount of the bond isnot to exceed $15,000,000. The location of the project is Arrowhead Springs Ranch. While this location is within the County, the City may issue bonds for the project if a benefit to the city is determined. This language is included in the resolution. Resolution B is an inducement for construction of student/faculty housing adjacent to the University. This will be an industrial development bond in the amount not to exceed $15,000,000. Once again, the finding of public benefit to the city is found in the resolution. Resolution C is a cooperative agreement with the County to issue a multifamily mortgage revenue bond in an amount not to exceed $350,000,000 for the construction of 5,000 multifamily units of which approximately 1,000 will be within the city limits. The location of the project is Arrowhead Springs Ranch, State Highway 18, and Old Waterman Canyon Road.

Description of Projects San Bernardino County has recently passed inducement resolutions for a total of 100 apartment projects that have requested some $710 million in bond financing which would be used to develop approximately 16,000 apartment units; the distribution of these projects b~ Market Regions is as follows: West East Victor Valley Valley Valley County ------- ------- ------- ------- Proposed Projects: 33 50 17 100 Units: 6,476 7,790 1,870 16,136 Bond Financing Request: $322 $324 $164 $710 (millions) Thus, most of the projects are located in the East and West Valley regions of San Bernardino County. 1 I I I I . . I I I I I I c -, ~ :J r"" '- Methodology The market "need" for apartments was analyzed using a comprehensive model that encompassed all of the relevant demographic, economic and market demand-supply conditions for apartment projects. : Market Demand for Apartments The demand for apartment units was estimated through a systematic analysis of demOgraphic/economic/construction trends in the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area, San Bernardino County and the various market regions; the t>r1mary;.;t~ndings'are as follows: '~~\t;:~i:}'rf.'f:~~>:1'li.~~~_,;,:;;:;~ Recent Demographic, Employment and Construction Trends "'.,' ,'.

I I I I I I . c :) ,- ....... Demand from Existing Households The demand for apartment units from households that currently reside in such units is referred to a turnover demand. This was estimated using 1980 Census information, along wi th updates to make the data current, as well as the mobility rates for such households; the results are as follows: ,......, '-I ~ Rent Ranges (Approximate) Total Households Turnover Demand 3,414 6,693 "'~~l29 ,583 -t\I.l'.' :"";'if..,Jt;"!l':i~~~,,, ,;""\:;q 9 ..'

Of these, 2,300 pay rents of $350 or more per month, so they would be candidates for."units in new apartment projects. The subsequent analysis; however, will not take this turnover demand into account, .since these households ,are "likely to move from one compl ex to anotherccompl:ex ,within the ,;county.

Annual Demand West Valley East Valley San Bernardino County Victor Valley 1985-90 554 598 200 1,352 Thus, the demand for apartment units in complexes that are relatively large is strongest in the East and West Valley and relatively lower in Victor Valley. 3 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I c .-... v :> c Market Supply of Apartment Units To gauge the market supply conditions for apartments, information was compiled on existing, new, and proposed projects; the primary results are as follows: Existing Complexes ~ Victor San Bernardino Valley County ------- --------------- 4 97 472 14,294 1981 1973 $334 $322 $413 $393 $523 $452 Characteristics West Valley East Valley 33 60 Number of Projects in Stratified Sample Units in Projects: t1'i.i~.~..M'#19.~~rtJ343 Year Built :""1974""'" lJi<;!'*1972 , (Avg)_ .;" Rents/mo: One Bedroom Two Bedrooms Three Bedrooms .~$299 . ::,$369 $422 New Complexes West ;'East Victor San Bernardino Characteristics Valley Valley Valley County -------------------- ------ ------- ------- ------------- Number of Projects 4 4 3 1 1 in Sample -~;~" Units: ",~,,,"i;(}5' .'695 1,963 Rents/mo: One Bedroom $456 $370 $290 $395 Two Bedrooms $538 .$444 $395 $467 Three Bedrooms $655 N/A $498 $550 Proposed Projects West East Victor Characteristics Valley Valley Valley -----------~------- ------ ------- ------ Number of Projects 26 29 9 Apartment Units 2,921 3,921 1,197 Development Status ;.

These 5000 units would be located in the Arrowhead Springs area generally east of Old Waterman Canyon Road and Highway 18 and proposed to be built over a three to five year period. The project was ini ti ally brought to my Department on Fri day, November 22 for review. The above Resolution was placed before the Board of Super- visors on December 2, 1985 for their consideration. The item was continued to December 9, 1985. " J ".'" ~l -- - - - - c o o :> ltr to Glenda Saul Re: Arrowhead Springs Ranch Proposed Multifamily Project December-5, 1985 Page 2 Two factors must be considered when evaluating a development fo~ multifamily bond financing. First, is there a reasonable expectation that the project will be built? Second, is there a demand for the units in the surrounding area? let me discuss each point separately. (1) Recent IRS rul ings on the tax-exempt status of bonds for multi- family housing are being based on a number of factors, the pri- mary one being if there is a "reasonable expectation" by the issuer that the total units will be completed. (a) The size of the issue is $350,000,000 to construct 5000 units. Staff has not seen detailed plans, specifications, or site development to judge whether 5000 units is feasible for that area. Normally, our staff has a lead time of two to three months to review these proposals before placing them into the pipeline to be structured for bonds. However, in this case, beginning documents were only brought in on November 22, 1985. (b) There is no letter of credit in place to provide credit support to the bonds that are bei ng issued, therefore it is an escrow account. All other County or Housing Authority issues have had some form of credit support in place before issuance or one was reserved by a developer who had paid points for this reservation. (2) The County and City have already induced enough apartment units into the greater San Bernardino area to meet demand by over 2 to 1, according to a County sponsored Market Feasibility Study completed in 1985 by Empire Economics. ,;1 - - - - - - Ltr to Glenda Saul Re: Arrowhead Springs December. 5, 1985 Page 3 o o :) c Ranch Proposed Multifamily Project (a) This study states that the greater San Bernardino area supply of multifamily housing is adequate for the next five years. Multifamily demand is estimated at 3600 units for the next six years. There are already 4897 units that have received bond financing in this same geographic area, a supply 137% over demand. (b) A recent survey conducted by the County's feasibility con- sultant revealed there are currently approximately 500 vacant apartment units existing in the City of San Bernar- dino, north of Highland Avenue. The impact of issuing bonds for 5000 additional units could negatively affect occupancy levels in existing projects. We have no comment at this time regarding related issues such as planning and environmental review. The County's Land Management Department has not received any formal applications for General Plan amendment, Alquist- Priolo Seismic Safety Study Zone geologic investigation, site approval or other review which might be necessary. County HCD Staff recogni zes the positi ve impact Campus Crusade for Chri st International has had in our community, however, because of the concerns this Department has in regard to the feasibility of this project and the supply and demand equation, the HCD Staff will recommend that the Board of Supervisors defer any action until such time that these concerns are resolved.
