Subject:Inducement Action for Multifamily Project - Berrellessa Palms, Martinez
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
operates a multifamily mortgage revenue bond financing program. The purpose of the
program is to increase or preserve the supply of affordable rental housing available to
lower income households. The County program may be undertaken with the
unincorporated County and within the cities.
Resources for Community Development has requested to participate in the County's
multifamily mortgage revenue bond financing program. They propose to construct
Berrellessa Palms, a 49-unit senior housing project located at 801 Berrellessa Street in
the City of Martinez. The proposed development meets the eligibility criteria for bond
financing, and the proposed plan of finance appears to be consistent with County policy
for this program. The prospective owner of the project will be a limited partnership
between Resources for Community Development, or one of its affiliates, as managing
general partner, and a to-be-named tax credit investor as a limited partner. A description
of the project can be found in Exhibit A.
A requirement of federal tax law is that the prospective financing be subject to a
conditional statement of intent to issue bonds, i.e. an inducement resolution must be
adopted by the Board of Supervisors. The inducement action does not obligate the
County or the owner without future discretionary actions.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without the Inducement Resolution, Resources for Community Development will not be
able to commence with the process of applying to the California Debt Limit Allocation
Committee for multifamily mortgage revenue bonds through the County in an amount not
to exceed $18 million.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
