COTTONWOOD/CHUCKWALLA SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL PROJECT/PA#9B
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Redevelopment Agency approve an Owner Participation and Loan
Agreement with the Coachella Valley Housing Coalition for the development of an affordable
single family housing project in Project Area 49B,specifically within the
Cottonwood/Chuckwalla neighborhood.
BACKGROUND:
As a part of the City's Recapture Our Neighborhoods program,staff has worked with the
Coachella Valley Housing Coalition on the revitalization of the Cottonwood/Chuckwalla
neighborhood. With the assistance of an allocation of Community Development Block Grant
funds in 1995,CVHC has studied and researched the Cottonwood/Chuckwalla neighborhood. In
1997,after seeking Agency direction on various development possibilities,it was determined that
a single-family residential project would be a positive first step in rejuvenating the area.
Subsequent to receiving Agency direction,CVHC submitted a formal proposal to build seven
homes on three vacant lots located at the corner of Avenida Caballeros and Cottonwood and
Chuckwalla. The homes would be available to low-income,first-time home buyer households.
Notwithstanding some design concerns, initial discussions with the Planning Commission and the
Redevelopment Agency were positive. CVHC then entered into escrow on the three lots and
began the process of applying to the State for federal HOME funds in the fall of 1997. It was
anticipated that project funding would be provided by HOME funds,as well as other competitive
grants awarded by the State and/or federal government. The Palm Springs Community
Redevelopment Agency indicated that it would consider providing Housing Set Aside Funds to
go towards the development of the project. The HOME application was submitted in November,
1997, but unfortunately, was not successful. Meanwhile,CVHC completed the purchase of the
three lots,and began negotiations to acquire an adjacent fourth lot.
The Agency again revisited this development proposal in the fall of 1998,and based on its
consensus to move forward,CVHC applied once again to the State in November, 1998,and was
notified in June, 1999 of the award of$154,000 in HOME funds. In addition to Pahn Springs
Housing Set Aside funds,other potential funding sources considered for this project include the
Rural Community Assistance Corp.(RCAC),Local Initiative Support Corporation(LISC),and
Bank of America. Total development costs for the seven homes on the three lots are projected at
approximately$791,000. Should CVHC be successful in acquiring the fourth lot,development
costs will total approximately$Imillion.
In addition to setting forth terms of development,the attached OPA provides up to$303,000 in
Housing Set Aside funds to CVHC towards the development of nine homes on four lots. If
CVHC is unable to acquire the fourth lot,the amount of Agency funds will not exceed$217,000
(seven homes on three lots).

Staff also requests that the Agency approve a resolution amending the 1999-00 Community
Redevelopment Agency budget to allow a transfer of $303,000 from the Agency's Housing Fund
balance to a line-item allocation for this project.
