13.4 REPORT - DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT CONCEPT FOR 888
FOURTH STREET
BACKGROUND: Santa Rosa and other communities have been
challenged to identify local match subsidy to allow developers of
affordable housing the ability to compete for the balance of needed
financing and construct the units.
There is currently a backlog of 343 units in four projects awaiting local
match subsidy in the estimated amount of $13.7 million dollars. One of
these developments is 888 Fourth Street, an entitled 141 unit senior
affordable housing development, integrated with health services. Rather
than wait for local match resources to accumulate over time, the
developer, Hugh Futrell, would like to have the City consider using the
value of the project’s development impact fees as the local match.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Departments of
Economic Development and Housing and Community Development that
the Council receive the report and provide comment.
