Apartments, L.P. to close on their CaIHFA financing in June to begin contruction of the
85-unit low-income housing project. The Implementation Agreement clarifies and
provides several minor changes to the DDA, including the addition of an affiliate of
Desert AIDS Project to the partnership and the division of responsibilities for the
construction of the off-site improvements, as well as further restructuring of the Agency
notes to allow debt capacity to service debt acquired to purchase the Desert Health
Care District parcel, as required by CaIHFA.

APARTMENT COMPLEX AND FAMILY CARE FACILITY WEST OF SUNRISE
WAY, SOUTH OF VISTA CHINO ROAD, MERGED PROJECT AREA # 1
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Agency members are familiar with the Vista Sunrise project as proposed by Desert
AIDS Project and McCormack Baron Salazar, Inc., approved by the City in July 2003
along with the original DDA. The project consisted of a County-run Family (Health)
Care Center and 85-units of special needs housing restricted to residents with
HIV/AIDS. A DDA Amendment was approved on November 19, 2003 that changed the
terms of the Note somewhat to conform to the State's MHP Program and to clarify
language the Deeds of Trust (adding an Agency Property Note for the land value, for
example). A Second Amendment was approved on September 15, 2004 that, while it
did not provide for any additional assistance, restructured the Agency Property Note
and allowed the Developer to draw additional pre-development funds for architecture,
engineering and permitting up to a total of $300,000 (they had already drawn the
$75,000 allowed under the current DDA). The Agency Property Note, which was added
in Amendment No. 1, is for $205,000 and was annually forgiven based on compliance.
As a way of breaking the land negotiation stalemate between the Developer and Desert
Healthcare District, which is contributing the bulk of the land, the County proposed to
lease the Healthcare District parcel, process the necessary lot line adjustments through
the City, and sublease the housing portion to the Partnership. However, one change
that has arisen since September is that CaIHFA, as both the construction- and
permanent lender, will not place their loan on a subleased property, which has
necessitated the exercise of the County's option to acquire the parcel. The County and
District are still negotiating over the sale price.
In addition, CaIHFA has been unwilling to agree in its Subordination Agreement that it
would provide notice to the Agency in the event of a monetary default, more than what
is required in the state's normal bankruptcy statutes. The Agency is able to subordinate
its interest to state and federal agencies or programs provided those agencies are
required through statute or policy to be the first trust deed lender, but the Agency is
normally able to receive some sort of provision from the other lender that it will be
notified in the event of a default to be able to exercise its rights to cure. It is probable
that, in the event of a delinquency by the Developer, the Agency would receive
notification of the default, but CaIHFA will not commit to it. They have agreed to provide
documentation, however, of their requirement that they be in the first lien position.
The Partnership will acquire the housing portion of the land from the County on a pro
rata basis and the County will retain the remainder for the health care facility. As
allowed under the original DDA, the Agency will then Grant Deed its property to an
affiliate of Desert AIDS Project called Coachella Valley AIDS Consortium, which will join
the Partnership and contribute the land.
The County will separately work on the development of the health care facility, which is
the motivation of the Desert Healthcare District to participate in the project. The County
is currently in the planning and architecture stage of the health care facility, and hopes
to commence the construction later in 2005. Part of the problem with the separation of
the health care facility from the housing project (since they were approved as a single
project) is coordinating the construction of the off-site improvements and dividing the
cost responsibility between the two projects. The largest single cost item in the required
improvements is the additional right turn land on Vista Chino Road, which requires the
relocation of a storm drain and a traffic signal in addition to the street widening. The
improvement is not adjacent to either the health care facility or the apartment project;
either project proposed alone would have to install it; and, the Developer originally
divided the estimated cost 50/50 between the two. The Developer was concerned that,
given they would likely be completed with their apartments prior to the completion of the
health care facility, that their Certificate of Occupancy could be withheld because their
conditions of approval require all the improvements to be installed.
As a way of satisfying their lenders, the Agency proposed that it take the responsibility
(through the City's Public Works Department) for constructing the improvements with
the costs ultimately being borne by the Developer and County. The Developer's share
would be through a "holdback" of $125,000 from the $1,300,000 Agency cash
contribution to the housing project; and, the County would reimburse the City for its
share up to $125,000 through the Reimbursement Agreement, when it builds the health
care facility. Therefore, the Agency would "front" the County's share of the
improvements but receive payment once the project is built. The County is currently
working on a bond issue, scheduled to be sold in June, to construct the health care
facility.
The other terms of the DDA remain the same. Concurrent with the close of financing,
the Agency will Grant Deed the property to Coachella Valley AIDS Consortium, which
will contribute it to the Partnership. The Agency will retain reverter rights if the
Developer fails to proceed or complete the project and record a Deed of Trust against
the property to ensure compliance with the terms of the amended DDA.
The special needs housing project has not changed and the Developer commits to
building the project as proposed, including the architectural upgrades, noise buffering,
quality landscaping, and other components. The project shall remain restricted to
residents with HIV/AIDS; the case management services shall be provided by Desert
AIDS Project. A Regulatory Agreement with the Agency will assure that the units will
count towards the City's low and moderate income housing goals.
The project is scheduled to close on its financing by mid-June, 2005; it has received
commitments on all the necessary funding to move forward, including the 4% Tax
Credits.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Agency would advance $125,000 from Low/Mod Housing Funds, plus use the
same amount from already-committed funds, to construct the off-site improvements.
The engineer's estimate of those costs is in the range of $230,000-$240,000. Once the
health care facility is completed by the County, $125,000 will be reimbursed to the
Agency.

IMPLEMENTATION AGREEMENT
This IMPLEMENTATION AGREEMENT dated 2005 is made by
and between the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Palm Springs, a
public body, corporate and politic ("Agency"), and Vista Sunrise Apartments, L.P., a
California limited partnership ("Developer") with reference to the following facts and
agreements:
WHEREAS, the Agency and the Developer have entered into that certain
Restated and Amended Disposition and Development Agreement ("RADDA") dated
February 15, 2005 which provides for the construction of 85 affordable housing units
pursuant to the terms of the RADDA; and
WHEREAS, as the parties are beginning the implementation of the terms of the
RADDA and as a result of that endeavor have discovered that certain assumptions
concerning financing requirements and timing of the adjacent health care facility project
have necessitated some non-material revisions for purposes of the Agency in the form
of the Promissory Notes and Deeds of Trust which have to be clarified but which do not
affect the Agency's basic financial contribution to the Project or the Scope of the Project;
and
WHEREAS, the County's construction of the adjacent health care facility is
lagging behind the Developer's construction of the housing units which has resulted in
the Agency advancing funds and the City constructing the offsite public improvements
pursuant to a Public Improvement Reimbursement Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Agency and Developer wish to clarify their understandings of
how the RADDA will be implemented by setting forth those understandings in this
Implementation Agreement as follows:
1. Additional Nonprofit Manaqinq General Partner. Pursuant to Section
303(3)(h) of the RADDA, Developer has notified Agency that it intends to transfer a
percentage of the general partner interest in the Developer entity, Vista Sunrise
Apartment, L.P., to the nonprofit Coachella Valley AIDS Consortium which is an affiliate
of Desert AIDS Project. Further, the title to the Agency Parcel shall be transferred first
to the Coachella Valley AIDS Consortium, as one of the managing general partners of
the Developer, and subsequently transferred or leased to the Developer.
2. Form of Notes and Deeds of Trust. The Agency Parcel and the parcel to
be subleased from the County of Riverside Housing Authority, which are both necessary
to the Project, will remain separate parcels instead of being combined into a single legal
parcel, therefore, the parties agree that the Agency's contribution to the project will be
secured by two Promissory Notes and two Deeds of Trust in place of the form in the
RADDA which contemplated one of each. The entire amount of financial assistance
does not change but the land value contribution of $205,000 will be secured by a Note
and Deed of Trust recorded only on the Agency Parcel, and the cash contribution of
$1.3 Million Dollars will be secured by a separate Note and Deed of Trust on the long-
- wT "
n i nne/An i z no i nF A
term sublease interest of the Developer. The new separate forms are attached hereto
as Exhibits and
3. Offsite Public Improvements Construction. The Agency, the City, County
Housing Authority and Developer have agreed by a separate Public Improvement
Reimbursement Agreement, approved by the County on , 2005, that the
City will construct the offsite public improvements rather than the Developer. The
Developer shall contribute the plans for which it has already been reimbursed, but the
funds from the Agency originally designated in the RADDA to be for reimbursement to
Developer for construction shall instead be utilized to reimburse the City for the
Developer's share of the Improvement costs. A copy of the Public Improvement
Reimbursement Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit
4. RADDA Terms and Conditions. The above clarifications and technical
modifications to the implementation of the RADDA are necessary primarily to achieve
the successful financing of the Project and are not believed to be material to the
Agency's overall obligations and assistance pursuant to the RADDA. With the
exception of any changes necessary to effect those items specified herein, all other
terms and conditions of the RADDA shall remain the same.
5. Attorneys Fees. In any action between the parties hereto, seeking
enforcement of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the Escrow, or in
connection with the Property, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled, to
have and to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney's fees and other
reasonable expenses in connection with such action or proceeding, in addition to its
recoverable court costs.
6. Notices. Any notice which either party may desire to give to the other
party or to the Escrow Holder must be in writing and may be given by personal delivery
or by mailing the same by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the
party to whom the notice is directed at the address of such party hereinafter set forth, or

the remainder of the District Property with a health care facility; and
WHEREAS, the Project was originally approved by the City, pursuant to its
planning requirements, as part of a larger project which included a health care facility
and the design for the site plan included the offsite public improvement requirements
described in Exhibit "B" (the "Improvements") which were necessitated by and benefited
both the affordable housing and the health care facility components of the overall
project; and
WHEREAS, the RADDA contemplated that One Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand
Dollars ($125,000) of the Agency financial assistance to the Developer would be held as
a Public Improvement Reserve which would be used to construct the Improvements;

Or
, n
n i nna rnn i vauuaF nx
WHEREAS, the Agency and the City have agreed that while the Developer's
responsibility for the housing Project includes one half of the cost of the Improvements
which was to be provided as part of the Aqency assistance to the Developer's Project in
the RADDA, due to the proposed transfer of responsibility for construction of the

mutual agreements and covenants set forth hereafter, the parties hereto agree as
follows:
1. Developer Responsibility. Developer shall provide the Plans to the City,

permit issuance).
n t nnvnn i zn RRjA ni
4. Construction of the Improvements by the City. The City shall commence

enforcement of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the Escrow, or in
connection with the Property, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled, to
have and to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney's fees and other
reasonable expenses in connection with such action or proceeding, in addition to its
