This new development will contain 7 one-bedroom,39 two-bedroom units,and 50 three- bedroom units. The ownership entity is Oakley Cypress Associates, a California limited partnership, or an entity related thereto. Oakley Cypress Associates is an affiliate of Pacific West Communities,Nampa,Idaho. The developer has significant experience having developed eight affordable housing projects totaling over 1,200 units in California. The project has already secured a commitment of Oakley Redevelopment Agency financing in excess of$3 million for the project. The project has all required land use approvals. An application for Private Activity Bond Authority will be submitted to the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee in July 2004. If awarded the authority,the County would proceed to issue the multi-family bonds in the fail, 2004. The proposed plan of finance would involve the issuance of unenhanced and unrated tax- exempt bonds which adhere to the adopted County policies for such bonds. The recommended action is the adoption of a Resolution by the Board,as the legislative body of the County, authorizing the issuance of bonds. The Board's action acknowledges that a public hearing has been held by the Deputy Director— Redevelopment as required by Section 147(f) of the internal Revenue Code. The recommended action of the Board is not the Bond Sale Resolution. Such actions would come back to the Board after receipt of an allocation from the State for Private Activity Bond Authority. Expected timing for a Bond Sale Resolution would be in October-November 2004.
