   1. Negotiate and execute amendments to the Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA), including an Implementation Agreement, Loan Agreement (Los Angeles Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA/LA) Loan or No. C-871721) and related loan documents, and ground lease, collectively referred to as Development Documents, associated with the Gilbert Lindsay Apartments located at 601 West 40th Place, subject to the approval of the City Attorney as to form and legality, to:
      
      
      1. Change the Borrower/Sponsor of the Project from Coliseo Housing Partnership to Gilbert Lindsay Housing Limited Partnership.

      3. Restructure payment for the ground lease and CRA/LA Loan to be 10 percent of residual receipts for the ground lease, and 40 percent for the CRA/LA Loan until it is repaid; thereafter 50 percent toward the ground lease, while the remaining 50 percent goes to the borrower/sponsor.
         
         
      4. Extend the term and affordability restrictions in connection with the Development Documents through 2090.
         
         
      5. Convert 76 of the 96 Moderate Income Units, which are currently restricted at 120 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI), to Low-Income Units, or 60 percent of AMI.

   2.

Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that this action will not impact the General Fund.  The HCIDLA is proposing to forego the City’s share of proceeds from the Coliseo Housing Partnership’s sale of the Gilbert Lindsay Apartments to the Gilbert Lindsay Housing Limited Partnership in order to rehabilitate the project and extend the affordability of the units through 2090 for very low, low, and moderate income households.  Per the existing Disposition and Development Agreement, the City’s share of sale proceeds would have been used to pay the outstanding CRA/LA loan. The Gilbert Lindsay Housing Limited Partnership would assume the existing outstanding debt of $11,880,537 owed to the City.  The HCIDLA will report back with additional recommendations to issue tax-exempt bond financing for the project. The above recommendations are in compliance with City financial policies in that there is no additional cost to the City.
