11. REPORT ITEMS
11.1
BACKGROUND: Humboldt Apartments, LP has requested that the City declare its intention to issue tax-exempt multifamily housing revenue bonds to assist the financing of the construction and development of Humboldt Apartments, a 52-unit affordable rental housing development located at 499 Humboldt Street in downtown Santa Rosa (the Project). The U.S. Internal Revenue Code requires that the Council hold a Tax Equity Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) public hearing prior to considering approval of a resolution declaring the City's intention to issue bonds. Multifamily housing revenue bond financing is structured so that the City has no financial liability to the bondholders. The Project owner is responsible for payment of all costs of bond issuance.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Department of Economic Development and Housing that the Council, following the public hearing, by resolution, declare the City’s intention to issue tax-exempt multifamily housing revenue bonds to assist the financing of the construction and development of Humboldt Apartments, an affordable rental housing development located at 499 Humboldt Street, and authorize City staff to apply to the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee (CDLAC) for a bond allocation in an amount not to exceed $11,000,000.
11.2
BACKGROUND: On April 5, 2011, the City Council directed Community Development staff to proceed with Zoning Code text amendments for bicycle parking requirements for new and redevelopment projects. On August 11, 2011, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and considered the proposed Zoning Code text amendments and voted unanimously (6-0-1) to recommend approval of the changes.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Department of Community Development and the Planning Commission that City Council introduce an ordinance amending Zoning Code Sections 20-36 and 20-70 consistent with the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan.
**11.3
BACKGROUND: On July 14, 2011, the Planning Commission adopted a resolution (5-2-0) approving a Conditional Use Permit to allow a new shopping center with 24-hour operation of a new convenience market and sale of alcoholic beverages for off-site consumption pursuant to state law. The convenience market is located at 6599 Montecito Boulevard. On July 25, 2011, Susan Silverman filed an appeal of the Planning Commission's decision to approve the Conditional Use Permit.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Department of Community Development and the Planning Commission that the City Council hold a public hearing and deny the appeal, and adopt a resolution approving a Conditional Use Permit for the Montecito Marketplace located at 6599 Montecito Boulevard.
