.FISCAL IMPACT
No General Fund or Redevelopment Agency impact. This program utilizes the Affordable Housing Special
Revenue Fund(Fund 111300, Org. 1596) to acquire the properties from sellers; the properties are resold to
eligible buyers. The Affordable Housing Special Revenue Fund is reimbursed net of transaction costs.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
In accordance with the terms of a Development Agreement between the County and Dame Construction
Company(1993), Dame agreed to provide 23 Affordable Units in the Somerset Homes development in
exchange for development approvals, including a density bonus,received from the County. As required by the
Agreement, the Affordable Units were sold to qualified moderate-income households at below-market prices
providing a homeownership opportunity to the purchaser. Purchasers of the affordable units were required to
enter into a Buyer's Purchase Agreement which provided the County with the right of first refusal to acquire, or
to assign its right to acquire the unit at a predetermined price, in the event of resale. Purchasers are required to
notify the County when they intend to sell their units. The purpose of the resale restriction is to provide the
County with an opportunity to maintain the affordability of the unit for another moderate-income household.
An owner of an affordable unit in the Somerset Homes development informed the County that she wished to sell
her unit. In order to preserve the affordable units, the County purchased the property. A buyer for the property
has been identified. State law requires Counties to sell property at auction, unless below-market property is
being sold to eligible buyers. The former is not practicable to maintain affordability, and the latter requires a 30-
year terns of affordability, which is in conflict with the Somerset program 15-year terra. Redevelopment
agencies are not subject to these requirements; therefore, in order to facilitate the timely sale of these properties
to eligible households, the County wishes to transfer the properties to the Redevelopment Agency. The Agency
is scheduled to accept conveyance of the properties from the County on October 22, 2002, and to convey the
property to an eligible household at a public hearing on November 5, 2002. A revised Buyer's Resale
Agreement, which is the Agreement between the purchaser of the affordable unit and the County, has been
prepared. The new Agreement re-defines the program, and clarifies the roles and responsibilities of the County
and the owner in the event of resale during the term of affordability.

BUYER'S RESALE AGREEMENT
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY DENSITY BONUS PROGRAM
(Somerset Hames)
Owner:
Home:
This Buyer's Resale Agreement(the "Agreement") is entered into as of this th day
of __,20 by and between the County of Contra Costa(the "County") and � (the
'"Owner").
RECI'T`ALS
A. California Density Bonus Law(California Government Code Sections 65915 -
65917)requires the County to grant density bonuses to developers who agree to construct
affordable housing units as part of their developments. The California Density Bonus Law
requires the County to ensure continued affordability of density bonus units for a minimum of
ten years..
B. Dame Construction Company,the developer of the Somerset Domes (the
"Developer"), was granted a density bonus by the County and entered into a Developer
Agreement dated April 28, 1993 to implement the requirements of the California Density Bonus
Law. Pursuant to the Developer Agreement, the Developer sold fifteen percent(15%)of the
Somerset Homes units to low and moderate income households at affordable prices (the "Density
Bonus Units").

11/23/99 1
C. Owner intends to purchase the property located at in the County of Contra Costa
and more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein(the
"Home"). The Home is one of the Density Bonus Units which has been transferred to the
County by the original purchaser. The County has transferred the Horne to the Contra Costa
County Redevelopment Agency(the "Agency") in order that the Agency may sell the Home to
the Owner.
D. Pursuant to the California Density Bonus Statute, the County is required to ensure
the continued affordability of the Home as a Density Bonus Unit, and the County and the
Agency therefore require the Owner to execute this Agreement as a condition of the Owner's
purchase of the Home. The Owner has agreed to execute and comply with this Agreement in
consideration of the Agency's agreement to sell the Home to the Owner at an affordable price
which is below the fair market value of the Home.
E. The purpose of this Agreement is to place resale controls on the Home and to
require the payment of any excess proceeds of sale to the County. This Agreement also provides
the County an option to purchase the Home at a restricted price, given in consideration of the
economic benefits to the Owner resulting from purchase of the Horne at a below market price
under the County's Density Bonus Program.
F. The Owner is receiving a first mortgage loan (the "First Mortgage Loan") from
(the "First Lender"). The First Mortgage Loan is secured by a deed of trust
dated , 20 , executed by the Owner in favor of First Lender and recorded in
the County of Contra Costa on , 20. and assigned Recorder's Serial No.
(the "First Mortgage Deed of Trust").
G. This Agreement shall be secured by a deed of trust on the Home(the "County
Deed of Trust"). This Agreement and the County Deed of Trust shall be subordinate to the lien
of the First Mortgage Deed of Trust.
NOW,THEREFORE, in consideration of the benefits received by the Owner and the
County hereunder, the Owner and the County agree, as follows:

10. COUNTY PURCHASE OPTION
The Owner agrees that the County shall have the option to purchase the Horne (the
"County Option") for an amount equal to the lesser of: (i)the Fair Market Value of the Horne, or

Second County Response Notice (as described in Section 12E below), to be sent by the County

Eligible Purchaser. If the Second County Response Notice states that the County will exercise
the County Option, the County shall purchase the Home within seventy-five (75) days of the date
of the Second County Response Notice.
IL DETERMINATION OF MAXIMUM SALES PRICE FOR COUNTY PURCHASE OR
RESTRICTED SALE
If the County exercises the County Option, or if the Owner sells to an Eligible Purchaser,
the maximum sales price(the "Maximum Sales Price")that the Owner shall receive from the
County or the Eligible Purchaser for purchase of the Home shall be the Restricted Future Sales
Price or the Fair Market Value, whichever is less.
A. Restricted Future Sales Price.
(1) The Restricted Future Sales Price of the Home means the sales price of the
Home at the time of purchase by the Owner, which was
( ), increased by the percentage of increase in the Median Income
from the date of the original purchase of the Horne by the Owner to the date of receipt by the
County of the Owner's Notice of Intent to Transfer, and, where applicable, adjusted pursuant to
subsection (2)below to reflect the value of capital improvements or the cost of deferred
maintenance. "Median Income" shall refer to the median yearly income, adjusted for a
household size of four, in the Oakland Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area as published by the
California Department of Housing and Community Development("HCD"), or, in the event such
income determination is no longer published by HCD, or has not been updated for a period of at
863;s0\123603.4
19/23199 7
least eighteen(1 8)months, the County may use or develop such other reasonable method as it
may choose in order to determine the median yearly income in Contra Costa County.
(2) Where applicable, the Restricted Future Sales Price shall include an
upward adjustment reflecting the value of any substantial structural or permanent fixed
improvements which the Owner has made to the Home after purchase of the Home. No such
adjustment shall be made except for improvements: (a)made or installed by the Owner which
conformed with applicable building codes at the time of installation; (b)approved in writing in
advance by the County or its designee; and(c)whose initial costs exceed one percent(1%) of the
purchase price paid for the Home by the Owner. Improvements meeting the above requirements
are referred to in this Agreement as "Eligible Capital Improvements." The adjustment to the
Restricted Future Sales Price for such Eligible Capital Improvements shall be limited to
appraised increases in value to the Home as a result of the improvements (pursuant to an
appraisal performed as described in Section 11B below) and not the cost of construction of the
improvements to the Home. The Restricted Future Sales Price shall include a downward
adjustment, where applicable, in an amount necessary to repair any violations of applicable
building,plumbing, electric, fire or housing codes or any other provisions of the Contra Costa
County Building Code, as well as any other repairs needed to put the Home into a "sellable
condition". Items necessary to put a Home into sellable condition shall be determined by the
County or its designee, and may include cleaning, painting and making needed structural,
mechanical, electrical,plumbing and fixed appliance repairs and other deferred maintenance
repairs.
B. Fair Market Value. In certain circumstances it may be necessary to determine the
fair market value of the Home (the "Fair Market Value"). These circumstances include: (1)
where the parties wish to determine if the Restricted Future Sales Price exceeds the Fair Market
Value in order to determine the Maximum Sales Price pursuant to Section 11; (2)where the
Owner is selling the Home to an Market Purchaser at an unrestricted price pursuant to Section
12E; (3)where the parties wish to determine the value of Eligible Capital Improvements in order
to calculate the Restricted Future Sales Price pursuant to Section 11A; and(4)where the Owner
wishes to refinance the First Mortgage Loan as described in Section 23 below. If it is necessary
to determine the Fair Market Value of the Home, it shall be determined by a certified MAI or
other qualified real estate appraiser approved in advance by the County. If possible, the
appraisal shall be based upon the sales prices of comparable properties sold in the market area
during the preceding three-month period. The cost of the appraisal shall be shared equally by the
County and the Owner, unless the appraisal is obtained from a new purchaser, or unless the
appraisal is necessary because the Owner wishes to refinance the First Mortgage Loan pursuant
to Section 23 below, in which event the Owner shall pay the cost of the appraisal. In the event
that the Owner has made capital improvements to the Home(which have been approved in
advance by the County pursuant to Section 11 A of this Agreement)which have increased the
value of the Home or if damage or deferred maintenance has occurred while the Owner owned
the Home which has decreased the value of the Home, the appraisal shall specifically ascribe a
value to these adjustment factors and state what the fair market value of the Herne would be
without such adjustments by utilizing the procedures outlined in Section I IA.above for
calculating the Restricted Future Sales Price. Nothing in this section shall preclude the Owner
863130\123603.4
11/23199 8
and the County from establishing the Fair Market Value of the Home by mutual agreement in
lieu of an appraisal pursuant to this section.
12. SALE OF HOME BY OWNER IF COUNTY DOES NOT EXERCISE COUNTY
OPTION TO PURCHASE
In the event the First County Response Notice notifies the Owner to proceed to sell the
Home to an Eligible Purchaser at a price not exceeding the Maximum Sales Price, the Owner
may proceed to sell the Horne in compliance with the following requirements;
A. Marketing Period. The Owner shall have sixty(60) days from,the date of the First
County Response Notice(the "Marketing Period")to market the Home and find an Eligible
Purchaser. During the Marketing Period,the Owner shall use bona fide goodfaith efforts to sell
the Home to an Eligible Purchaser in compliance with this Section 12, including keeping the
Home in an orderly condition, making the Home available to show to agents and prospective
buyers, and providing buyers with Eligible Purchaser requirements, including income
qualifications and the County's form of disclosure statement summarizing the terms of the
buyer's resale agreement. If the Owner has not located an Eligible Purchaser within this sixty
(60)day marketing period, the Owner may request an additional sixty(60)day marketing period.
A proposed purchaser("Proposed Purchaser"),who the Owner believes will qualify as an
Eligible Purchaser, shall be referred to the County for an eligibility determination.
B. Eligible Purchaser. A Proposed Purchaser shall qualify as an "Eligible Purchaser"
if he or she meets the following requirements, as determined by the County:
(1) Intent to Owner Oce . The Proposed Purchaser shall certify that he or
she will occupy the Home as his or her principal place of residence throughout his or her
ownership.
(2) Agreement to Sign buyer's Resale Agreement and to Cooperate with
Coup The Proposed Purchaser shall agree to sign a buyer's resale agreement restricting future
resale of the Home and shall agree to cooperate fully with the County in promptly providing all
information requested by the County to assist the County in monitoring the Proposed Purchaser's
compliance with the buyer's resale agreement.
(3) Income-Eligibility. The combined maximum income for all household
members of the Proposed Purchaser shall not exceed one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the
median yearly income, adjusted for household size, for a household in Contra Costa County as
published by the California Department of Housing and Community Development("HCD")
pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 50093. In the event such income determinations are
