CUPERTINO REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY KEYSER MARSTON ASSOCIATES, INC. By Lirj ( 1 l•( By /1 1* David Knapp Debbie M. Kern City Manager Vice President & Senior Principal CITY A RNEY By ��, , ✓� 4'' i A , & Carol Korade As to Form 2 EXHIBIT A SCOPE OF SERVICES Consultant shall prepare a Five Year Implementation Plan for the Cupertino Vallco Redevelopment Project in accordance with the following approach and scope: A. Approach Preparation of the Implementation Plan will consist of three primary tasks: • Task I will include the analyses and documentation required for the redevelopment portion of the Implementation Plan including identifying projects and programs projected for the next five years of the plan. • Task II will include the analyses and documentation required to address the housing components required for the Implementation Plan including the targeting of expenditures from the Low and Moderate Income Housing Funcl, and production requirements. While treated as separate phases, these two phases will be undertaken concurrently. • Task III incorporates the analyses and work products developed in Tasks I and II into the Preliminary Draft followed by the Public Review draft Implementation Plan for consideration for approval at a public hearing. In terms of process, Consultant will prepare a list of data needs. After Agency staff has provided Consultant with all of the base information, Consultant will prepare a preliminary draft plan. The preliminary draft will identify the Agency's obligations and resources, and a preliminary plan of future projects and programs. Agency staff will provide comments to Consultant, and Consultant will then prepare a Public Review Draft Implementation Plan, followed by a Final Implementation Plan. Consultant will attend the public hearing on the Implementation Plan. At the Agency hearing on the Implementation Plan adoption, the Agency can approve the Implementation Plan as drafted or may direct staff to amend the Plan based upon input received at the hearing. B. Scope Task I — Redevelopment Component Analysis 1. Identify Project Area accomplishments Consultant will summarize Agency accomplishments over the Project's past five years and blight conditions that have been addressed based upon the prior adopted Implementation Plan and 3 discussions with staff. The intent is to give an overview of what the Agency has done over the course of the Redevelopment Plan's effectiveness to alleviate blight and improve the Project Area. 2. Present Draft Tax Increment Projection Consultant will present a projection of net property tax increment available to the Project Area. This analysis will reflect the anticipated changes in the project area's assessed values due to new developments and escalations of the existing base. 3. Document Project Area Expenditures for the 5 -year Period Based on the Redevelopment Plan, prior Implementation Plan, discussions with Agency staff regarding planned projects and programs, the analysis of available resources, and an analysis of existing debt obligations, Consultant will prepare a projection of expenditures from 2011 through 2015. Task II — Affordable Housing Analysis Given that the Project Area was adopted in 2000, it is subject to the 15% affordable housing inclusionary production requirements, the 20% affordable housing tax increment set -aside requirement, age and income expenditure targeting requirements, and replacement housing requirements. Additionally, the project is subject to the terms of a settlement agreement with Cupertino Citizens for Affordable Housing. This agreement requires that 25% of gross increment be set aside for affordable housing and other requirements that exceed standard CRL requirements. 1. Document Housing Production and Compliance Status Using information to be provided by staff, Consultant will prepare a summary of past activities and Project Area status in complying with the requirements of CRL Section 33413 and the Settlement Agreement, including the following: • A list of the income restricted units that include the covenants required to be counted as inclusionary production housing units. Backup data required and to be provided by the Agency will include the year built, the project name, total number of units, unit mix by number of bedrooms, description of the affordability restrictions (covenant terms and level of affordability), type of project (senior, family, etc.), if the units are within or outside of the project areas and whether the housing is rental or ownership in type. • An accounting of all of the new and substantially rehabilitated units that have been developed within the Project Area since adoption. 4 2. Prepare Housing Production Plan (Section 33413) Consultant assumes that the Agency's prior Implementation Plan accurately accounted for the CRL Section 33413 (a), and (b) requirements. Based on that assumption, Consultant will identify the Agency's outstanding inclusionary housing production obligations. In addition, Consultant will prepare a housing production plan, meeting the requirements of CRL Section 33413 and the Settlement Agreement that includes a plan for the ten -year period that meets the requirements for inclusionary affordable housing, and includes the information listed below: a. A projection of the number of new or substantially rehabilitated and price /income- restricted housing units to be assisted by the Agency; b. A projection of the new residential development anticipated to occur within the Project Area; c. A projection of the Agency's inclusionary requirements through 2015 and through the end of the life of the redevelopment plan; d. An estimate of the number of units occupied by very-low, low or moderate income households that will be removed from the inventory as a result of Agency actions; e. A projection of the number of new or substantially rehabilitated units through the implementation plan period and through the Life of the Plan that will have the requisite affordability covenants to count towards meeting the Agency's inclusionary housing production obligations. This projection will demonstrate that the Agency will be in full compliance with inclusionary requirements. 3. Document Housing Replacement Compliance Status Using information to be provided by staff, Consultant will prepare a summary of past activities and Project Area status in complying with the replacement housing requirements of CRL Section 33413, including the following: • A list of all units destroyed by Agency - related activities, including the year of destruction, number of bedrooms in each unit, income level of displaced tenants, and what actions have been taken to fulfill the replacement housing obligations. • A list of the income restricted units that include the covenants required to be counted as inclusionary replacement housing units. Backup data required and to be provided by the Agency will include the year built, the project name, total number of units, unit mix by number of bedrooms, description of the affordability restrictions (covenant terms and level of affordability), type of project (senior, family, etc.), if the units are within or outside of the project area and whether the housing is rental or ownership in type. 5 4. Prepare Housing Replacement Plan (Section 33413) Any outstanding replacement housing obligation will be identified in the previous section. In addition, Consultant will prepare, with the Agency's assistance, a replacement housing plan to ensure the Agency meets its replacement housing obligations under CRL Section 33413 (a). The Plan will ensure the Agency provides replacement units for units demolished or removed by any Agency- sponsored or Agency- assisted projects proposed during the five - year period. 5. Prepare Housing Expenditure Plan Beginning on January 1, 2002, redevelopment agencies are required to target the expenditure of 20 percent Housing funds in proportion to the City's need for Very Low, Low, and Moderate income housing. Under CRL Section 33334.4, the Agency must target its Housing Fund expenditures to assist: (1) low and very low- income households in proportion to the units needed to assist such households as determined by the regional fair share allocation; and (2) all persons regardless of age in at least the same proportion as the number of low income households with a member under age 65 bears to the total number of low income households in the community as reported in the census. These "Housing Fund Targeting Requirements" must be satisfied for 10 -year periods throughout the life of the Plan, with the initial period extending 13 years, from January 2002 through December 2014. The law requires an accounting of expenditures between 2002 and 2014, so we will need to breakout the expenditures beginning in 2002. a. Consultant will prepare, with Agency assistance, a projection of the Housing Set - Aside revenues to be received and expended by the Agency through 2015. This projection will estimate expenditures on administrative costs, debt service, and any existing housing obligations. Projected annual expenditures will be stratified based on both income level and age restriction to demonstrate the Agency's compliance with the income and age targeting requirements imposed by CRL Section 33334.4. b. In the event that the Agency is currently in a state of "excess surplus" or anticipated to enter "excess surplus" during the implementation Plan period, Consultant will address the issue in the Implementation Plan and work with the Agency to establish a plan for elimination of any excess surplus. Task 111 — Presentation and Adoption of Implementation Plan 1. Preliminary Draft Consultant will integrate the redevelopment and housing analyses into a Preliminary Draft Implementation Plan for staff's review. The Public Review Draft Implementation Plan will be prepared following the public workshop and will reflect/incorporate public input. 6 2. Present Implementation Plan and Respond to Comments After the Implementation Plan has been reviewed by staff and finalized, Consultant will present the Implementation Plan at the Agency hearing. If necessary, the Implementation Plan will be amended in response to comments received at the hearing.
