RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to sign the Consent to, and ballot in favor of, annexation of real property to the Community Facilities Districts 2006-01 and 2010-01, to fund maintenance of landscaping and street lights for property in North Richmond owned by Contra Costa County, Housing Successor to the former Contra Costa County Redevelopment Agency, on which the Heritage Point Project will be located.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None to the General Fund. The special taxes on the property will be the responsibility of the Housing Successor and will be paid with dedicated Housing Successor funds until the conveyance of the property, which is expected in January 2018.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County, as Housing Successor to the former Redevelopment Agency, is the owner of several parcels in North Richmond. These properties were assembled by the former Redevelopment Agency to eliminate blight and to provide an opportunity to develop affordable housing. The County has entered into a Disposition and Development Agreement with Community Housing Development Corporation (CHDC) of North Richmond for the purpose of developing the site with 42 affordable housing units. CHDC has obtained approval of a Minor Subdivision (MS 14-00007) and Final Development Plan (DP 14-03026) for the project, subject to certain conditions of approval.

Conditions of Approval # 39 and # 40 require annexation of the subject property into two Community Facilities Districts, one for Street Lights and one for Landscaping. Below are the Conditions:

Street Lights: 39. Applicant shall annex into the Community Facilities District (CFD) 2010- 1 formed for Countywide Street Light Financing. Annexation into a street light service area does not include the transfer of ownership and maintenance of street lighting on private roads.
Landscaping: 40. Applicant shall apply to the Public Works Department for annexation to the Community Facilities District (CFD) No. 2006-1 (North Richmond Area Maintenance Services) for the future maintenance of area-wide medians and landscaping. The annexation of property into the CFD must be completed prior to occupancy, and the applicant should be aware that the annexation process may take approximately 60 days.

Since the property will not be conveyed until all the development conditions of approval have been met, the current property owner (Contra Costa County) needs to authorize the annexations.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The project will not move forward since the conditions of approval will not have been met.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impacts are associated with the proposal to construct a multiple-family residences within a mixed-use zoning district.
