Agenda Item No. June 12, 2007 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Honorable Chairman and Redevelopment Agency Members Honorable Mayor and City Council Attention: David J. Van Kirk, City Manager Cynthia W. Johnston, Housing and Redevelopment Director Scott D. Sexton, Community Development Director RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VACAVILLE REAFFIRMING THE MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND APPROVING A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, DENSITY BONUS AND DESIGN REVIEW FOR VACAVILLE SENIOR MANOR AT LAWRENCE DRIVE RESOLUTIONS OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VACAVILLE APPROVING THE DISPOSITION, DEVELOPMENT AND LOAN AGREEMENT WITH SENIOR MANOR, LLC, FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN AFFORDABLE SENIOR-RESTRICTED APARTMENT COMPLEX ON LAWRENCE DRIVE ON APN 134-080-260 DISCUSSION: The Vacaville Senior Manor project involves a proposal to construct a three-story, seniorrestricted apartment complex and associated site and landscaping improvements on a vacant, 1.95 acre parcel located on the west side of Lawrence Drive, approximately 325 feet south of Orange Drive (see Attachment A), between the Lemon Tree Mobile Home Park and the Pontiac Buick GMC dealership. The apartment complex will include 60 senior-restricted, one-bedroom units, a common recreation room and laundry facilities. The project includes a request for a Planned Development and Density Bonus to allow an increase from 24.0 to 31.0 dwelling units per acre and other development standard exceptions. The exterior materials for the building will include scored stucco and a concrete tile roof and are similar to that of the nearby existing Marriott hotels and the Fairfield and Residence Inns. The site plan includes 66 parking spaces (30 covered) with access proposed off both Lawrence Drive and Barbara Wortham (private street). The April 17 th Planning Commission Staff Report (see Attachment B) provides a comprehensive discussion of the project and background. Disposition, Development And Loan Agreement In December 2002, the Redevelopment Agency acquired a 1.95-acre parcel of land on Lawrence Drive, adjacent to the Lemon Tree Mobile Home Park, the Marriott Fairfield Inn and the Chrysler/Dodge dealership. The Agency acquired this parcel with the express purpose of developing an affordable senior apartment complex for low-income seniors. A map of the project site is attached (Attachment A). On August 26, 2003, the Agency approved a Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) with Dr. Richard Valeriote and his family members for the construction of a 3-story, 60-unit apartment building on this site. However, due to market conditions and costs of construction, the developer decided to postpone the development of the project and the DDA and Planned Development permit expired in 2005. In early 2006, the Valeriote family approached staff to restart discussions on the development of an affordable senior housing apartment complex. A map of the project site is attached. Over the past several months, staff and Senior Manor, LLC (an entity comprised of Valeriote family members) negotiated/reached agreement on the following business points:
Construction of a three story, 60 one-bedroom senior (55 years and older) apartment building for low-income seniors. Rents will be affordable to those senior households earning less than 80% of area median income ($47,350 for a two-person household). Rents will be determined based on 60% of area median income. A regulatory agreement will be recorded against the property requiring affordable rents for 55 years. The Developer will be responsible for the costs associated with the construction of half of a cul-de-sac at the end of Lawrence Drive and at the entryway to Lemon Tree Mobile Home Park. The other half of the cul-de-sac will be installed by the hotel project (Comfort Inn and Suites) that was approved on November 27, 2006. The cul-de-sac will be dedicated back to the City of Vacaville. In exchange for the income and age restrictions, the Agency will: o Sell the land to Senior Manor, LLC, for one dollar ($1.00) based on a reuse appraisal. o Provide a $2,069,257 loan to cover the cost of the land, building permits, development impact fees and construction costs. The loan terms are 55-year loan, payments deferred for the first 10 years, and amortized over the next 45 years at 4% interest, with interest accruing on the first day of the eleventh year. The Developer is responsible for obtaining all environmental approvals. A 2004 Mitigated Negative Declaration for a 60-unit senior restricted apartment was prepared for the original Lawrence Drive Senior Apartment project (Vacaville Community Development Department File No. 04-006). The Planning Commission reaffirmed that the proposed project is within the scope of the 2004 Negative Declaration at their April 17, 2007 meeting. The Housing and Redevelopment Commission unanimously recommended approval of the Disposition Development and Loan Agreement (DDLA) at its meeting held on May 30, 2007. Density Bonus The maximum density permitted by the General Plan is 24.0 dwelling units per acre. The developer is requesting a density increase from 24.0 to 31.0 units per acre, which is a 29% increase. The proposed development qualifies for a density bonus greater than 25% because 100% of the units will be restricted to senior citizens with incomes that qualify as low-income. Staff is recommending approval of the density bonus associated with this project since the proposed development exceeds the qualifying criteria and the density requested would be compatible with the surrounding land uses. As part of the density bonus approval, the applicant is required to monitor the units to ensure compliance. The City s Housing and Redevelopment Agency will monitor rent rates and household income on a yearly basis per the proposed terms of a Disposition and Development Agreement to be adopted for the project. Additional density bonus and project issue analysis is available in Attachment B. Neighborhood Meeting: A neighborhood informational meeting was held for the project on September 20, 2006, at the Lemon Tree Mobile Home Park Club House. The primary issues raised by the Lemon Tree Mobile Home Park residents were the impacts of the development on Lawrence Drive, traffic during and after its construction, and ensuring the privacy for the mobile home park residents. In response to the traffic and parking impacts, staff responded that the senior apartments would generate much less traffic than a commercial development and that during construction, the
applicant would be required to prepare a construction staging plan requiring the applicant to keep all equipment, materials, and vehicles on the site or a vacant property during construction. Another concern raised by the residents was the visibility of the mobile home park from the apartment complex. The applicant has designed the apartment complex with a setback of 40 feet from the property line adjoining the mobile home park, which is less than the normal 70-foot setback requirement for commercial uses from residentially zoned property. However, the applicant requests that the landscape plans serve as a way to add buffering space between the two uses and proposes to add more mature trees strategically placed to break up the view of the mobile home park pool and clubhouse from the second and third story windows. In summary, the residents were generally in support of the project, provided the developer and City implemented the measures discussed at the meeting. Planning Commission Action: The Planning Commission considered this proposal at a public hearing on April 17, 2007. A resident of the adjacent Lemon Tree Mobile Home Park spoke and had questions related to the operational characteristics of the facility, mainly inquiring if children were going to be permitted to live within the building. Staff, through the Commission was able to address all of the residents concerns, and expressed support for the project. The Commission then commended that applicant for returning with the project and added that some of the minor enhancements made over the previously approved version would be an asset to both the project and the surrounding area. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Commission unanimously voted (7-0) to recommend that the City Council approve the proposal, which includes the Density Bonus and reaffirm the Mitigated Negative Declaration. RECOMMENDATION: Take action in the order shown below: 1. City Council Action By simple motion, that the City Council of the City of Vacaville adopt a resolution reaffirming the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration and approving a Planned Development, Density Bonus and Design Review and for Vacaville Senior Manor at Lawrence Drive. 2.
