11. REPORT ITEMS
5:00 P.M.
11.1
BACKGROUND: Petaluma Ecumenical Properties (PEP Housing) 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 Acacia Lane Senior Apartments, a 44-unit affordable rental housing development located at 4711 Sonoma Highway in northeast 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 Acacia Lane Senior Apartments, an affordable rental housing development located at 4711 Sonoma Highway, 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 September 22, 2009, the City Council opened and closed the public hearing regarding the Draft Santa Rosa General Plan 2035. The item was continued to allow time for council discussion and direction.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Office of Advance Planning and Public Policy that the Council, by resolutions, certify the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Draft Santa Rosa General Plan 2035 and adopt Santa Rosa General Plan 2035.
11.3
BACKGROUND: On September 22, 2009 the City Council held a public hearing for the rezoning of 2363 Hardies Lane and 691 West Third Street, closed the public hearing, and continued action to a future date. The rezonings are proposed to achieve general plan consistency, and they forward draft general plan policy H-C-4, which calls for rezoning of Medium and Medium High Density sites of two acres or more concurrent with adoption of the Housing Element to facilitate the development of higher density sites.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Department of Advance Planning & Public Policy that the Council introduce ordinances for the rezoning of 3.25 acres at 2363 Hardies Lane, and 2.87 acres at 691 West Third Street to R-3-18 (Multi-Family Residential).
