The applicant is ready to pursue financing and the Resolution before you today is reguired by the TEFRA (Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act). The project does include a density bonus which was approved in December of 1984. this approval was prior to the current policy established by the council of the "in lieu of" nature for bond financing. The item went before the Redevelopment Copmmittee on July 23, 1985 and the Committee recommended the project go forward with both the density bonus and bond financing since the developer received approval of the density bonus and induced the project prior to the current policy. On August 5, 1985 the Mayor and common Council approved the Notice setting today's Public Hearing. The developer has redone the numbers on the project and requested an additional $1,000,000 for financing. The amount of financing is increased to $22,000,000. Attached to the Staff Report is a letter from Mr. Robert Staniec, the developer, explaining why he believes the project would not be feasible without bond financing. Mr. Staniec will be present at the meeting to answer any questions you may have.

This problem was created by the City Council's new policy of considering the financial assistance of a density bonus "in lieu of" bond financing. Tentative approval of the project was granted December 4, 1984 and we were told at that time the project met all criterion for bond financing. This financing is an absolute nessesity for the development of the project as planned. Castle Park was planned from the start as a high quality apart- ment community that will appeal to quality tenants. Much time and effort was put into the design of the units, buildings, and site plan to make this a special place. The project was designed to condominium standards, double wall construction, 5/8 sheet rock and concrete floors are used for sound attenuation and privacy between the units. A most complete ammenity package with some- thing for everyone from tennis courts and swimming pools to barbeques and shuffle board is planned. An extensive landscape plan including trees, meandering walks and berms along with tile roofs, decorative block walls and trellised retreats add up to make this a place residents will be proud to call home. ,""-' The development is located on a 29 acre parcel in the College Park area of the city. The parcel is irregularly shaped and has over 2000 lineal feet of frontage along the 215 freeway. Condi- tions for approval of the tentative maps were a 2000 fopt long, 18 foot high combination berm and block sound attenuation wall along the freeway and a 36 inch storm drain in college avenue from the northeast corner of the property to Varsity Drive, then a 48" drain to University Parkway - a total of about seventeen hundred feet. The berm and sound wall benefits Castle Park and the community as a whole, while the storm drain benefits the property little since most of the site is down slope from the drain. "- -' " - In order to achieve the high level of quality in construction and design as well as overcome the extra ordinary costs mentioned above in developing this site, a 25% density bonus was applied for and received, along with an inducement resolution from the City to facilitate obtaining bond financing. Both of these plans come with the stipulation that 20% of the units remain affordable to families with 80% of the median income. This stipulation remains in effect for 10 to 16 years, depending on the term of the bond. While it is not desirable to encumber the project with such a long term restriction, the lower interest rate obtainable by bond financing and the extra income generated by the addi- tional units are required to make the development economically feasible. Castlebar has represented itself from the start as an owner/builder. We have owned the majority of this property since 1981. We have worked very closely for the past year and one half with staff planning to create a project that the city wants and that in most areas exceeds the City's standards for development. This project has been extensively reviewed by Mr. Jim Urada of the University, as well as the board of the Scottish Rite Temple, and neighborhood groups. Everyone likes the project and recog- nizes this is the type of quality development that the neighbor- hood needs. - '- The city is getting in Castlepark a project that has a higher standard of design and construction and a more complete ammenity package than any project existing or planned in the entire area. We are building a project that at 17.5 units per acre covers only 20% of the site with residential structure, that is roughly equivalent to a single family subdivision on 7200 square foot lots. From the beginning and throughout the approval process we have been up front and acted in good faith with the City. We have designed and intend to build a first class project, one that will be a lasting asset to the community and a lasting investment for us. Since tentative approval was received for the project on December 4, 1984, Castlebar has gone ahead with working engineering draw- ings, working structure drawings, and loan processing as rapidly as possible. Working engineering drawings were completed and submitted to the City Engineering office for plan check in February 1985. Recom- mended revisions have been made and the plans are now ready for final approval. Castlebar is making a major contribution to the off-site infrastructure in the area with the construction of the College Ave storm drain. We are not only paying for the storm drain ; we are also responsible for the engineering of the drain -- 2 -, "..~ - and culvert structures and their construction. Contributions are also being made to the signalization of COllege Ave/University Parkway and Morgan Ave/University Parkway intersections. Structural working drawings were completed and submitted on May 6, 1985 to Building & Safety; recommended changes have been completed and the plans are now ready for final approval. Loan Processing is well underway. In December 1984, Klein Finan- cial was retained to assist in loan procurement. The city of San Bernardino induced the project on January 21, 1985. California First Bank is processing our application and it is anticipated that a joint venture of Stone & Yongberg and Bankers' Trust will underwrite the bond issue. Sabo & Gondeck have been retained as bond counsel. Market and feasibility studies are complete and an MAl appraisal from Landaur and Associates is complete. In addition to the aformentioned extra ordinary items involved in developing this site, Castlebar will be paying the City over one million dollars in fees during construction. The anticipated annual property tax is $380,000 to $400,000 - a healthy contri- bution to the city tax base. A brief recap of events to date and anticipated schedule to the TEFRA hearing is as follows: '- January 1984: The concept of a quality apartment complex made financially feasible by using bond financing and the State of California Density Bonus Statute was presented to Frank Shuma and Planning Staff. We ,were told that the concept met City planning requirements, and we were within our rights to pursue bond finan- cing and a density bonus. August 1984: $134,000 was paid to the City as a deposit on sewer capacity rights in sufficient number to complete the project. November 7, 1984: The project was presented to the Planning Commission Public Meeting and all issues were addressed and answered. The Commission continued the item one month to obtain a legal opinion on the Density Bonus Provision from the City Attorney. December 4, 1984: The City Attorney's legal opinion was that Castlebar was entitled to the Density Bonus and the project was approved unanimously. January 1985: Mayor Holcomb appealed the Planning Commission decision. However, after reviewing the project and recognizing its merits, he withdrew his appeal. ..-- '- 3 /"""" \ v , "'~ January 21, 1985: The City of San Bernardino Mayor and. Common Council passed Inducement Resolution 85-38 for the inducement of bond financing for the project. February 1985: Working engineering plans were submitted to the City Engineering office for approval. February 1985: Mayor Holcomb proposed a building moratorium in the College Park area affecting all development of mUlti-family housing. After reviewing this project once again and seeing its merits, he agreed to support exempting our project from the moratorium. The idea of a building moratorium was subsequently dropped altogether. March 6, 1985: $20,000 plan check fee and structure working drawings were submitted to Building & Safety for approval. May 1985: $10,000 fee was paid to the City Engineer to process engineering drawings. July 16, 1985: Meeting to present the project to City Council Redevelopment Committee and Redevelopment Agency for final approval. ^'.-. August 5, 1985: Meeting of the Mayor and Common Council for final approval of the city's participation in bond financing for the project. "- August 19, 1985: Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) Hearing. Simply stated, the lower interest rate made possible by bond financing, makes this project economically feasible and able to be built. Back in our earlier meetings with planning staff when our concept was first presented, we were told it met the requirements for density bonus and bond financing programs. We therefore proceeded to create a development of a quality not possible without the assistance of these programs. I hope this letter explains our situtation clearly, we have worked long and hard to create a quality development and look foward to the Mayor and Common Council recognizing its merits and allowing its timley completion. wa~~.
