FROM: Sue Castellucci, Housing Administrator(��
SUBJECT: Resolution Approving an Affordable Housing Regulatory Agreement with an
Affiliate of The Reliant Group in Connection with the Development of Altura
Apartments, and Authorizing the City Manager to Sign Documents Related to the
Affordable Regulatory Agreement.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution Approving an Affordable
Housing Regulatory Agreement with an Affiliate of the Reliant Group in Connection with the
Development of Altura Apartments, and Authorizing the City Manager to Sign Documents
Related to the Affordable Regulatory Agreement.
BACKGROUND
The Altura Apartment project is a proposed 150 unit family rental community, located on
Baywood Drive in Petaluma. The project will be in conformance with current zoning, which
permits up to 30 units per acre. The City of Petaluma Planning Commission, at their November
10, 2015 meeting, adopted Resolution No. 2015 -21 which approved the Site Plan and
Architectural Review for the Altura Apartments.
The City of Petaluma's Housing Element 2015 -2023 establishes there is an existing unmet need
for very low and low income housing units and insufficient public funds to facilitate their
construction. Petaluma's Inclusionary Housing Program 4.3 of the 2015 -2023 Housing Element
states that the City will continue to require residential projects of five or more units to contribute
to the provision of below- market rate housing in one of the following ways:
a. Dedicate 15% of the units on -site, or a portion of the project site or property to the
City of a non - profit organization for use as affordable housing.
b. Within a half -mile radius of the planned SMART stations, developers are
encourage to provide at least 15 percent of the units in a rental housing project at
rents affordable to very low- and -low income households for a minimum of 30
years.
C. Within a half -mile radius of the planned SMART stations, developers may be
required to provide at least 15 percent of the units in a for -sale project at prices
affordable to low- and moderate- income household for a minimum of 30 years.
d. The developer can make an in -lieu payment to the City's Housing Fund.
e. Use alternative methods to meet the intent of the inclusionary requirement,
subject to approval by the City Council.
The developer of the Altura project, The Reliant Group, has agreed to contribute 15% of the total
units to affordable housing. The project provides a significant public benefit by providing
affordable housing units at no cost to the public, contributing towards the City of Petaluma's
Regional Housing Needs Allocation.
DISCUSSION
The Reliant Group has General Partnership interests in four California tax credit properties, one
of which is an affordable senior complex in Rohnert Park. In the Site Plan and Architectural
Review Conditions of Approval for the project, Section 20 requires that prior to building permit
issuance, an affordable housing agreement shall be executed to implement the affordable housing
as proposed by the Owner. The attached Affordable Housing Regulatory Agreement and
Inclusionary Housing Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions is the document to insure
affordable housing will restrict 23 units for affordable housing for thirty years. The unit mix for
the affordable units will be as follows:
• 5 — 1 bedroom units at 50% Area Median Income (AMI)
• 4 — 2 bedroom units at 50% AMI
• 9 — 1 bedroom units at 60% AMI
• 5 — 2 bedroom units at 60% AMI
The twenty -three affordable units will reduce Petaluma's Regional Housing Needs Allocation for
the Very Low Income category from199 units to 190 units and the Low Income category from
103 units to 89 units for the current housing element planning period.
The recommended resolution presented for the City Council's approval authorizes the City
Manager to execute the Regulatory Agreement and any necessary related documents.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS
This project fulfills the City Council's goals and priorities of the 2015 -2023 Housing Element
and the 2015 -2020 Consolidated Plan in creating affordable housing in Petaluma. There will be
no City housing funds allocated for this project.
