COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE ON ITEMS NOT LISTED ON THE AGENDA
There was no audience in attendance, who wished to speak at this time.
NEW BUSINESS
Vice-chairman Scarpelli announced the agenda item to recommend to the City Council to provide
$1,060,000 in financial assistance, to issue tax-exempt bonds in an amount not to exceed
$8,500,000 and approval of the loan agreement and related documents for construction of the
Calavera Hills affordable housing project. Staff is recommending approval.
Mr. Ruiz presented the affordable housing project at Calavera Hills. A map was pointed out
behind the commissioners. The project is at College and Carlsbad Village Drive. The project is
106 units; 10 one-bedroom units; 64 two-bedroom units; 34 three-bedroom units. The rent will be
between 20 and 60% of the median income. This project will be receiving funds from the State of
California Multifamily Housing Program; a portion of the two and three bedroom units will be within
20 and 30% of the state median income. The state and the state median income is just slightly
higher then the San Diego County median income. The remainder of the project will be within the
60% of the San Diego County median income.
Mr. Ruiz continued, there will be a clubhouse, a play area, and a basketball court in the project.
The project roughly is going to cost about 16 million dollars to construct. Part of the project will
include tax-exempt bonds. The developer will receive a developer fee of $1,000,000 or
approximately 6.4% of the total project costs. The developer is proposing to receive
approximately 70% of the developer fee and the remainder of the fee would be repaid over the
first ten years from income derived from the operation of the project.

Vice-chairman Scarpelli asked if there were any questions of Mr. Ruiz at this time. There were no
questions from the commissioners.
Mr. Brian Milich from Corky McMillin Company gave his presentation. His company is partners in
this project. He stated that his company purchased the property 6 or 7 years ago. They are
currently building out the last two phases of the project. The first phase is finished and now they
are entitling the last phase. They received approval of the master plan January from the City
Council. The requirement is to build 15% of affordable housing so the last phase is now being
applied. After reviewing the site, we have come up with our plan on the site. College Boulevard
will be extended; it meets Cannon Road down to El Camino Real. The affordable housing site is a
little over 7 acres, and there is a l-acre community facility site that also is required on the
property. Actually there is another community facility site that is about 2 acres. There has already
been a strong interest from a daycare operator so it seems to us to be a great location; it‘s on a
major corridor; there’s a bus turnout; it‘s about % of a mile from a brand new elementary school.
The possible daycare center site is one net acre.
Mr. Milich continued, it‘s a great location. They have worked very closely with the Cape homeowners, the neighbors just above this site. Early on in the master plan the height of the
buildings was discussed as well as how many units are going to be on the site. The master plan
allows three story buildings with 441 units. We just received approval from the Planning
Commission for 106 apartments, which is all that is needed. This will create a less dense and
more neighbor friendly community to the Cape homeowners. We had a Planning Commission
hearing on July 17, 2002, and it was unanimously approved by the Planning Commission and it
now goes to City Council probably in August. There was an issue that Craig eluded to which is
part of the project. Handouts of the site plans have been handed out.
Commission Houston asked if this was all Village Y.
Mr. Milich answered, yes, and incorporated in that is the l-acre community facility.
Mr. Milich continued, one issue that came up was the location of one of the recreational amenities.
Early on there was a discussion with the Housing Department and the Planning Department and it
was decided that the basketball court would be a nice amenity to the project, and we still think it is.
We had it originally located in the back of the property next to the Cape property. The Planning
Commission raised some concerns about this being an attractive nuisance in terms of a lot of kids
using that, and how late they would be using it. Although I think we’ve mitigated most of those
issues, we were directed to find another site. We had some extra parking, 242 spaces and we
only needed 236 so we have designed a basketball court area to one side of the end of a parking
area. We presented that to the Planning Department. We want to make sure that you concur with
that. In place we put a volleyball court where the basketball court originally was. We had a
meeting with the homeowners on the property of the other side and they were supportive of that.
Vice-chairman Scarpelli stated it was indicated Mr. Milich feels that it won’t cause an impact on
those two units as well as the Planning Commission, but it appears as though it would. It must be
more area there then I’m able to visualize. Are you going to eliminate that parking or is that
parking remaining?
Mr. Milich answered that six parking spaces will be eliminated.
Vice-chairman Scarpelli reiterated the parking will be eliminated and inquired as to where the
front entrances of those homes are on those units by the basketball court.
HOUSING COMMISSION MINUTES
AUGUST 1,2002
PAGE 3 of 9
Mr. Milich answered the entrances are on the side. These units are very similar to the Villa Loma
project architecturally. These are eight-plexes so there are two units down below and two above
on each side so there will be entrances on the side.
Vice-chairman Scarpelli continued as to whether the basketball court would be coming up to the
edge of the building.
Mr. Milich answered yes.
Vice-chairman Scarpelli asked if there was a hazard as far as vehicle traffic.
Mr. Milich said no. The way it was worked out, there wouldn’t be any impact from the basketball
court and traffic.
Vice-chairman Scarpelli stated it is not this committee’s decision, but wanted to make sure that
the area around the basketball court be protected as far as the landscaping goes. He asked what
would restrict people from parking there.
Mr. Milich answered the restriction would be signage and management. He commented that they
could look into barriers and something else that might add to that.
Vice-chairman Scarpelli said it is not this committee’s decision. He was just asking as a matter of
interest.
Mr. Milich continued that everyone thought it was a great project, low density, we’ve taken care of
the issues with the neighbors. This is going to be built along with the first phases of development. It allows us to bring in up front the first units of the project. If all goes according to plan, the target
date for completion is October of 2003.
Mr. Milich said they are happy to have Chelsea as their partner in this. They’ve worked together
on several projects, including a very large project in Chula Vista. More details will be given on that
later in this presentation. Are there any questions?
Vice-chairman Scarpelli inquired as to what is the staffs position on the location of the basketball
court. Are you in concurrence with moving the basketball court, because it certainly appeared that
the other was a much better location?
Ms. Fountain stated that staff liked the original location much better, but came to the conclusion
that it had to be moved. We wanted them to keep it because they needed something for the
teenagers to do. It’s probably a good compromise. The volleyball court will be on grass and the
ball won’t be heard.
Vice-chairman Scarpelli was looking at another area for the basketball court and asked if there
was a reason it couldn’t be a possible site.
Mr. Milich answered that the site identified was an emergency access, actually an open access, a
secondary access for the project. It is a street so we need that for access.
James Schmid, President of Chelsea Investment Corporation stated he has been doing this for 18
years. His company’s focus is affordable housing. He has done several projects and they all
involve a collaboration with a non-profit. In his case it is Southwest Community Development
Corporation, executive director is Mike Wallace who is a long time resident of Carlsbad, and Red
Capital is a major player in affordable housing. Evan Becker, who is here tonight, has joined Red
HOUSING COMMISSION MINUTES

Capital. Recently they opened a San Diego office. Wallace Dieckman our CFO is here and he loves architecture and designs and will run through the project with you, later.
Mr. Schmid continued that also with him is Robert Harrington, but Jessica Skare is absent. They
will both be part of this operation, but tonight Ms. Skare is working at another project where they
are moving in tonight. They have all done a lot of lnclusionary housing. They did their very first project with McMillin. They had pictures with them. He commented that some developers stick
these projects in the worst sites, hidden away from everything else. This project is located in a
site they can be proud of. They manage their own projects. These projects are all held by
partnerships, but they have the ownership and the management interest. We don’t feel that a
third party manager cares as much about it. We feel the same way about managing as we do
about the design so we own and operate. We have about 1500 units under management. All of
our managers are trained and certified, not only in property management issues, but also in client
issues as well. This will be their third project (affordable). We just closed our second affordable
project.
Mr. Schmid gave a quick tour with a slide presentation. He first showed a slide of Teresina, which
is the first lnclusionary project, built by a master developer. They’ve been working on this project
for two and a half years. They worked with McMillin for about a year on this 88-unit project and it
was decided to go with a 440-unit project. It is in Chula Vista.
Vice-Chairman Scarpelli asked if it was part of the lnclusionary housing or is it non-inclusionary.
Mr. Schmid answered they had 88 inclusionary units and rather than doing 88 within the project,
we did a 440 unit project of which 88 are Inclusionary. They are not 88 specific units. They are
440 identical units and then the affordable tenants pick their own unit within the whole 440. It is a
terrific way to do a project, but it requires for huge projects to be done. Within the project was a
training center where the women’s national soccer team was there training for the last Olympics.
They put them up for a couple of months while they did their training at the training center in Chula
Vista. There were more pictures of Teresina.
Mr. Schmid continued with the second project. This was more advanced, also in Chula Vista, and
also an lnclusionary project. It is felt that with more density, the project is improved. Every project
we have ever done is 100% pre-leased. So essentially when move-in day comes, a traffic officer
is needed in the parking lot. We feel that will happen here at Calavera Hills. The senior’s projects
are normally developed because of the density, they have elevators, and are built with secure
courtyards.
He continued with a north San Diego project, which was built to satisfy a smaller requirement.
This has a clubhouse, which has the T.V. room, the library, the computer room and other
amenities. It is located next to homes, which sold for $600,000 to $800,000. Again, it was built
first with the landscaping in.
This one was 76 units and it was built by Greystone. It is close to Torrey Highlands High School, which is more like a university campus. The figures were taken in the final throws of construction.
This is a three story so what you see at Calavera is a lot less dense and a lot less bulky buildings.
They will be very attractive. By the time we opened the doors, we had 200+ applicants for these
units as well which rent for much higher then Calavera Hills will be renting.
Mr. Schmid showed slides of Calavera. I will let Wallace Dieckmann talk with you further in more
detail.

AUGUST 1,2002

Mr. Wallace Dieckmann stated that most of it has already been heard so he will quickly run
through it and try not to be too redundant. There are a 106 units, there are an allocation of units of unit types. There is an 1800 square foot clubhouse that includes a computer laboratory, and
there are a lot of facilities throughout the complex. We have adjusted the number of parking
spaces down to close to the number that Brian mentioned earlier. There are two different kinds of
amenities. Project amenities and unit amenities. Unit amenities include a refrigerator, range,
garbage disposal, dishwasher, balconies for the second floor units, and the first floor units will
have patios. The project amenities include the clubhouse, the turf play area, the play structure for
the young kids, the basketball court, and possibly a volleyball court as well. It is near a new
elementary school, which I believe is due to complete next fall. It is about three quarters of a mile
up College Boulevard. We provide community services as part of our program and the most
popular one is the after school program to help children with their homework and give them some
supervision after school. Part of that is computer skills training, not only for children, but for the
adults as well. Once we get a tenant base in, we survey the tenants and try to identify other
services that are appropriate for them.
Vice-chairman Scarpelli asked if they would be offering those types of amenities on a regular
daily basis or is it on a lesser schedule.
Mr. Dieckmann answered that it would be on a twice a week basis.
Vice-chairman Scarpelli further asked if this program would be offered in-house.
Mr. Dieckmann answered that is part of the role of Southwest Community, a non-profit performs.
Craig went over this, but the important thing to note is that 32 of the 106 units will rent at 20 and
30% of state median income, which means the poorest people will qualify to live here and that is a
tremendous asset. As Brian pointed out, the architect is Kirk McKinley of McKinley and
Associates.
Commissioner Houston stated the vegetation in the picture is more advanced then actual.
Mr. Dieckmann agreed it will take a couple of years to grow it in. It is an important aspect of these
projects for sound reasons and visual reasons. McMillin will start the site preparation by the end
of this year. The construction financing and bond issuance will be complete probably around June
or July of next year. With the construction starting early in the fourth quarter of next year and the
completion a year later, with a total lease up and conversion of the construction to permanent
status by the end of 2004.
James Schmid asked if there are any questions. Then wanted to let the Commissioners know
they previously had a conversation with Debbie Fountain and Craig Ruiz about the developer fee.
Under the tax credit bond it is allowable for a project of this sort to be allowed 15% of the cost up
to 1.2 million cap, and it is felt this project qualifies for that cap to be available. The city has a
housing policy guideline whereby the cap would be a million dollars. For two reasons, I would like
to ask you to waive that cap. One reason is that about a month or so ago you approved the La Costa project which is 180 units and that permits the 1.2 million fee, which I know sounds like a lot until you divide it by the six or so years we worked on the project and the thirty or fifty years of
compliance for management. This project is actually more work than the bigger project. That
wouldn’t normally be so, but I think we are bringing something special to the table in this project.
We were thrilled to get two of the awards from the state for this project. There is a lot of work that
goes into that. That causes the City of Carlsbad and this community to get those very, very low
rents. That happens to not be a feature of the La Costa project. So I would tell you that this project is more work for us and considerably so. It is not just a loan application. We are going to
have to close it and comply with prevailing wage requirements and we have to report to another
HOUSMG COMMISSION MINUTES
AUGUST 1,2002
PAGE 6 of 9
regulatory agency for 75 years as well so this is a significant amount of work. I think that brings
something special to the community. These will be the lowest rents in the community, and
certainly among the lnclusionary projects. That may or may not impress you, but I’m hoping will convince you that it would be fair for us to receive the full fee that the other agencies would allow,
to increase it to 1.2 million, it will not cost the city a dime. There is a certain black magic in tax credit financing, but the plain fact is that if you increase that fee, what can happen is the amount of
loan we are asking for will not go up. What it does is lets us get tax credits based on the
additional fee.
Point two is that you expect to get your loan paid back. Because of the way the numbers work, it
also does not decrease the cash flow to the city. So the only economic impact over this 10 year
period would be to that capital. The project costs more, you get more tax credits, you get more
tax credits to sell for Red Capital, and they put more money into the project. We would hope that
you would find because of our additional work, any additional benefit to the Community, which is
not a penny’s worth of additional obligation, or cost to the city. We see that as a good selling point
to allow us the full fee that would be allowed by the other agencies. I understand that’s almost
incomprehensible, but it is true. James Schmid asked Evan Becker to speak.
Mr. Evan Becker said in addition to the tax credit fee levels being regulated already, each state,
through their state allocated agency, sets the 50% limit already mentioned. That has evolved over
the years a tremendous amount of public policy discussion; the developers, housing, and the
public sector. We will be a limited partner in the project for fifteen years. It will have to comply
with affordability restrictions. It is to our benefit that the investor keep us in it for 15 years. That
fee plays a very important part for us, not because we care that much about them making that fee,
but it‘s their stake in the project. If for some reason they don’t a) deliver the benefits to us that
give us the return for us putting in the tax payer equity or b) for some reason they don’t deliver a
project that complies with all of the affordability requirements and deliver to you what you want in
terms of these affordability levels, quality people, the unit built on time, leased up and so on. If for
any reason they falter, they are at risk and what is at risk is that developer fee. That is their stake
in the project. That’s their cushion that we would use as both the lender and an investor in the
project to make sure it has to get finished, that it gets leased up to qualified people, and actually
that over time, the entire 15 years we are in it, that they comply.
Mr. Becker continued they have a very good asset management group which is watching
throughout the construction, the lease up and qualification of move-in plus through the 15 years
that they are involved as a limited partner. The point of the developer fee, in the sense of an
affordable tax written project, is not profit in the sense of your more traditional conventional
project; either home ownership or rental. It is a fee that a) is earned for a tremendous amount of
effort, which is extraordinary in terms of dealing with affordable housing, and b) it is something
that compensates for a lot of risk that they take because they guarantee in several different ways
that they will deliver the project. In the case of an lnclusionary context, there is another player
that has a lot at stake there too. It plays a key economic roll and fee levels have been set.
Vice-chairman Scarpelli asked a question to staff. We are talking about a development fee of 1 million with a request by the Developer that the fee be increased to the maximum allowable by
200,000. Does staff want to make any recommendations to the commission?
Craig Ruiz said the Affordable Housing Policy Team reviewed the project and felt the fee was comparable with other projects in the city.
Commissioner Renee Houston asked, is there a reason to set the cap there?
Evan Becker said, in this case it is $200,000 less then the maximum state allowance.
HOUSING COMMISSION MINUTES
AUGUST 1,2002
PAGE 7 of 9
Craig Ruiz stated the criteria the Housing Policy Team utilizes and how the amount of the fee
compares with other projects.
Commissioner Renee Houston questioned whether there had been a time when staff had waived
it before.
Craig Ruiz answered that it is not necessarily a waiver. The last time we reviewed the issue of a developer fee was with the Villages of La Costa project.
Debbie Fountain said that when the policy was looked at, a whole spreadsheet was laid out to
look at all the projects and how they compare. Not approving 1.2 million dollars is a policy from
staff, but it does not mean that the commission will be breaking any rule or we have to approve a
variance or waive it. If you think that the developers made a good argument that they should get
the whole 1.2, you can make that decision from a policy standpoint at this level, and that is what
we told the developer we thought was most appropriate since the staff level was maintained from
the perspective of the team and this is how they look at the total costs and how it compares. But it
doesn’t mean that as policy makers, you, or the city council can’t raise that for good reason.
Commissioner Renee Houston asked, in La Costa was it 1.2 million? And staff recommendation was consistent with that?
Debbie Fountain answered right. The La Costa project as a percentage was consistent.
Commissioner Renee Houston stated, in here you have a million, but that‘s what your
recommendation was?
Debbie Fountain said right. They (the developer) are asking for 1.2 million.
Vice-chairman Scarpelli said the presentation by the developer and Becker would warrant a
consideration. He felt enough of a comparison was made, though it was hard to follow. The
commission would like to see that spreadsheet (reviewed by staff) and a comparison to some
previous projects to review why this project doesn’t have the benefit of the additional $200,000 as
being requested by the developer. Is that available, and how soon would it be available to us to
review it? I’d like to recommend to the commission to leave it open so that we can study the
request on the basis of the spreadsheet that was done. They certainly have made a good
argument for it, but then again staff is not supporting it. I’d like to review that spreadsheet.
Commissioner Renee Houston questioned the developer fee money. It was brought up at the last
meeting on La Costa. Where does that come from?
Craig Ruiz answered when put all together it is off the top.
Commissioner Renee Houston said okay.
Mr. Wallace Dieckmann interrupted. It doesn’t come off the top. The developer’s fee is the buffer
of the project. If the project costs overrun what they are expected to be, it comes out of that.
Commissioner Renee Houston asked what would happen if there are no costs overrun.
Mr. Wallace Dieckmann said it is a project cost.
HOUSING COMMISSION MINUTES
AUGUST 1,2002
PAGE 8 of 9
Debbie Fountain concurred it is a project cost. What they are saying is that they are only going to
have a certain amount of money to pay for costs, so if that exceeds the amount of money they
have, the developer fee will pay for the cost overrun.
Mr. James Schmid said if you were to approve this, it does not increase the city’s economic
interest.
Vice-chairman Scarpelli said that once again you made a very good argument for it and it is an
issue of $200,000, and still if staff was supporting it, it would be very easy to go along with that
recommendation. Since staff is not supporting it, we don’t have the details that were available to
staff to not grant the request for the $200,000. What I would like to do is make a motion that we
consider the request of the developer for the additional $200,000 subject to our review of the
analysis by the policy committee and that be accomplished within one week from today.
Debbie Fountain asked if they want another meeting in one week.
Commissioner Renee Houston said only an informational meeting.
Debbie Fountain said we would have to schedule another official meeting of the Housing
Commission because action would have to be taken.
Vice-chairman Scarpelli stated it is going from here to Council. How soon will it be going to
Council? So obviously we would have to meet before it goes to Council if we are going to
recommend a higher fee after review of the facts. That is if we want to support the request.
Debbie Fountain said it won’t go to council until the commission actually makes a
recommendation. It couldn’t go before September 10, 2002. If you want it to continue, I don’t
know how that affects the scheduling.
Craig Ruiz said there is a real time issue with our approval.
Vice-chairman Scarpelli asked how much time is needed?
James Schmid asked if everything could be approved except the $200,000 fee. Subject to review
at a subsequent meeting so that we can go forward with the MHP and demonstrate our readiness.
Vice-chairman Scarpelli said the commission will go ahead and approve the resolution as
recommended by the staff and take time later to review what is being requested. He commented
that it seems like a legitimate request and legitimate time and effort should be given to evaluate it.
ACT1 ON : Motion by Commissioner Houston that the Housing Commission adopt
resolution 2002-03 recommending approval to the City Council to provide $1,060,000 in
financial assistance to issue tax exempt bonds in an amount not to exceed $8,500,000, and
approval of the loan agreement and related documents for construction of one hundred six
affordable apartment units to satisfy the requirements of the lnclusionary housing ordinance
for the Calavera Hills Master Plan Phase II and to request additional time to explore the
additional $200,000 requested in developer fee.

SUBJECT: SDP 01-05 - CALAVERA HILLS AFFORDABLE APARTMENT
DEVELOPMENT- RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL TO THE CITY
COUNCIL TO PROVIDE $1,060,000 IN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, TO
ISSUE TAX EXEMPT BONDS IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED
$8,500,000, AND APPROVAL OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT AND
RELATED DOCUMENTS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF ONE HUNDRED SIX
AFFORDABLE APARTMENT UNITS TO SATISFY THE REQUIREMENTS
OF THE INCLUSIONARY HOUSING ORDINANCE FOR THE CALAVERA
HILLS MASTER PLAN PHASE 11.
I. RECOMMENDATION
That the Housing Commission ADOPT Resolution No. 2002-003 recommending APPROVAL
to the City Council to provide $1,060,000 in financial assistance fiom the Housing Trust Fund, to
issue tax exempt bonds in the amount not to exceed $8,500,000, and approval of the Loan
Agreement and related documents with Chelsea Investment Corporation for construction of one
hundred six (106) affordable apartment units to satisfy the inclusionary housing ordinance
requirement for the Calavera Hills Master Plan Phase II.
11. PROJECT BACKGROUND
On January 22, 2002, the City Council approved the Calavera Hills Master Plan Phase 11. The
Master Plan allows for the development of the remaining areas of the Calavera Hills community.
Under the original Master Plan approval, 1,619 residential units have been developed in Calavera
Hills. The approval of Phase I1 of the Master Plan will allow for the build-out of this
community. Phase I1 will allow for the development of 706 units, 106 of which will be
affordable to low-income households.
111. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The affordable apartments units will be located on the west side of the future extension of
College Boulevard. Approximately ?4 mile south of Carlsbad Village Drive, in what is known as
Village Y of the Calavera Hills Master Plan Phase I1 (Exhibit 4). The106 affordable units will be
developed by Chelsea Investment Corporation (Developer).

PAGE 2
The proposed 106-unit affordable apartment project consists of 14 residential structures, a 2,100
square foot recreation building, and a leasing office. The proposed development includes 10
one-bedroom (9%), 64 two-bedroom (60%) and 34 three-bedroom (31%) apartments. Units will
range in size from 615 square feet for the one-bedroom unit, 905 square feet for the two-bedroom
unit and 1,045 for the three-bedroom unit. The project will contain three unique recreation areas,
with amenities for all ages. Within the three areas, amenities will include turf play areas, a play
structure, a basketball half court (or other teenage type activity area based upon Planning
Commission recommendation), a picnic and barbeque area, and a gardening area. The project
will also feature laundry facilities and 242 parking spaces.
One significant feature of this project is the utilization of State of California Multifamily
Housing Program Funding (MHP). The MHP program is a competitive statewide loan program
that provides hding for affordable housing developments. In exchange for the loan, the MHP
program requires the Developer to rent 9% of the units (1 0 units) at levels affordable to
households earning 20% of the State Median Income (SMI) and 21% of the units (22 units) at
levels affordable to households earning 30% of SMI (SMI is approximately 1% higher than the
San Diego County Area Median Income). The remainder of the project, 74 units, will be
affordable to household earning 60% of the San Diego County Area Median Income. Thus, this
project will contain the most affordable units of any such development in the City of Carlsbad
IV. DEVELOPMENT TEAM
The Master Developer for Calavera Hills, McMillin Homes, has retained Chelsea Investment
Corporation (Chelsea) to develop the affordable housing project. Chelsea, which is based in
Solana Beach, has developed several affordable housing projects in the cities of San Diego and
Chula Vista, and also has experience in Imperial County and Yuma County, Arizona. The
architectural fm for the project is McKinley Associates. McKinley Associates were the
designers of the first affordable housing development in the City of Carlsbad, the Villa Lorna
apartments. The architectural style of the Calavera Apartments is very similar to the design of
Villas Loma. The General Contractor will be McMillin Homes. McMillin Homes has extensive
experience in developing multi-family housing developments.
V. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
A. Cost Reasonableness
The developer has provided a detailed development pro forma for review by staff and the
Housing Commission (See Attachment 2). Since development costs are one of the key variables
determining the need for subsidies, it is important that those costs be reasonable. At
approximately $15.7 million, not including the cost of the land, the average unit cost of $148,000
is generally consistent with typical affordable multi-family development within the City.

B. Undue Gain
PER UNIT
It is important that any financial assistance have the effect of making the units more affordable
and not creating undue gain for any party. The Developer will receive a “Developer Fee” of
$1,000,000, or approximately 6.4% of total project costs. The Developer is proposing that they

receive approximately 75% of the developer fee ($744,000) during the construction of the
project. The remainder of the fee, $256,000, would be repaid over the first ten years from income
derived from the operation of the project. Staff feels that the developer fee is within acceptable
limits for a project of this size and affordability. Further, the deferral of approximately 25% of
the developer fee is consistent with previous recommendations adopted by the Housing
Commission for similar projects.

C. Subsidy Analysis
MHP Loan
Deferred Developer Fee
The Developer is proposing to finance the project with a variety of funding sources, including
tax-exempt bonds, 4% tax credits and funding from the State Mutifamily Housing Program
(MHP). Under this scenario, the developer would initially receive approximately $8.5 million
from the bond issuance and will raise $5.5 million through the sale of the tax credits and $3.8
million from the MHP program. Under this scenario, staff is recommending the City provide
$1,060,000 in financial assistance with the understanding that the Master Developer will provide
$2.6 million in financial assistance and $6.5 million in land contribution. Under this option, the
City’s $1,060,000 million assistance equates to $10,000 per affordable unit. The $10,000 per unit
is equal to what has been previously approved for similar projects

As noted previously, the initial amount of the bond issuance will not exceed $8,500,000. When
the project is constructed, the Developer will utilize bond proceeds, a construction loan, Master
Developer Contributions and the City Contribution to fund the construction of the improvements.
When the improvements are completed and the project is occupied, hds from the tax credit
investor and the MHP program will be paid to the Developer. Those funds will be utilized to pay
off a portion of the bonds. The principal amount of the bonds will be reduced to approximately
$5.5 million and will be repaid during the first 30 years of the operation of the development.
D. Form of Assistance
City assistance will be in the form of a residual receipts loan secured by a note and deed of trust.
The loan will begin accruing after the completion of construction of the improvements. The
outstanding principal and accrued interest on the City loan will be amortized over fifty-five years
and repaid from cash surplus in equal annual installments of principal and interest. In the event
that there is not adequate cash surplus to repay the City loan, the outstanding balance shall accrue
with simple interest at 3% per annum. The City may also receive repayment of the loan through
any savings between the amount budgeted for construction and the actual construction cost.
These savings will be split 50% to the City and 50% to the developer.
The financial assistance will be provided from the City of Carlsbad’s Housing Trust Fund. The
Fund currently has a balance of approximately $2.9 million.
E. Security
As stated above, the City takes a security interest in the property for the affordable housing
project. In addition, the Developer will be required to provide completion bonds to both the City
and the permanent lender to insure that construction is completed.
F. Risk
In its role as a lender to the project, the City is exposed to three risks inherent to real estate
development. These risks generally include 1) predevelopment (project does not get to
construction, 2) construction (project cannot be completed, cost overruns, contractor problems),
and 3) operation (revenues do not cover expenses). Adding to this risk, any City financial
assistance will be subordinated to conventional financing.
A number of factors mitigate the risks. First, the development team has a strong track record
with similar affordable housing projects. The presence of other major financial commitments,
such as a tax credit investment, is also key as this means that other stakeholders depend on the
success of the project both short and long term. Because the release of building permits for
market rate units are tied to the completion of the affordable units, the construction completion of
the affordable units is a strong incentive for McMillin Homes. Finally, the position of City and
other subordinated financing is a feature that helps attract the necessary private financing.

VI. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DOCUMENTS
A copy of the draft Loan Agreement and related documents are provided as exhibits (Exhibit 3)
to this report for review by the Housing Commission. The Commission is being requested to
review and recommend approval of this agreement and related documents in substantially the
form presented and subject to approval by the City Attorney.
VI1 SUMMARY AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is the role of the Housing Commission to make financial assistance recommendations to the
City Council based on several considerations with respect to affordable housing projects. These
are:
The proposal's effectiveness in serving the City's needs and priorities as expressed in the
Housing Element of the General Plan and the Consolidated Plan.
The proposal's consistency with the City's affordable housing policies and ordinances as
expressed in the Housing Element and Inclusionary Housing Ordinance.
The proposal's development and operating feasibility, emphasizing the development team
capacity, financing sources and the role of the City in providing financial assistance or
incentives.
The Calavera Hills affordable apartment project is proposed by a capable development team led
by a credible for-profit developer that is committed to affordable housing. The financing
structure of the project is sound. The proposed City assistance meets the City's three key
underwriting goals of a strong borrower, reasonable project costs and a high degree of
leveraging. The project quality includes good design and location. City housing goals are
supported by the project's unit mix and affordability.
It is the Affordable Housing Policy Team's (stafl) recommendation that the Housing
Commission approve the resolution of support recommending to the City Council the following:
1) financial assistance in the amount of $1,060,000; 2) approval of the Loan Agreement and
related documents in substantially the form presented and subject to approval by the City
Attorney; 3) that the City of Carlsbad issue tax-exempt bonds in an amount not to exceed
$8,500,000.

Exhibit 3
CITY LOAN AGREEMENT
This City Loan Agreement ("the Agreement") is entered into as of , 2002,
(the by and between the City of Carlsbad (the 'City") and CIC Calavera , L.P. a
"Borrower").
RECITALS
1. Pursuant to Title 21, Chapter 21.85 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, the City has

funding assistance for the provision of affordable housing consistent with the policies and
programs contained in the Housing Element of the City's General Plan.

repaired or rebuilt as provided in this Section 6.6, all such proceeds shall be applied to repayment
of outstanding loans including this City Loan, in the order of lien priority.
6.7 Taxes and Assessments. So long as Borrower owns the Development, Borrower
shall pay all real and personal property taxes, assessments and charges and all franchise, income,
unemployment, old age benefit, withholding, sales, and other taxes assessed against it, or payable
by it, at such times and in such manner as to prevent any penalty from accruing, or any lien or
charge from attaching to the Development; provided, however, that Borrower shall have the right
to contest in good faith any such taxes, assessments, or charges. In the event Borrower exercises
its right to contest any tax, assessment, or charge against it, Borrower, on final determination of
the proceeding or contest, shall immediately pay or discharge any judgment rendered against it,
together with all costs, charges, and interest. The City acknowledges that Borrower intends to
apply for a property tax exemption for the Development pursuant to California Revenue and
Taxation Code Section 214(g).
6.8 Compliance with Laws. Borrower shall comply with all laws and regulations of
the United States and of California and of any political subdivision thereof, or of any
governmental authority which may be applicable to it or to its business, subject to Borrower's
right to contest the validity or applicability of laws or regulations.
6.9 Changes. Borrower shall promptly notie the City in writing of any changes in the
location of any place of business or material assets of the Borrower.
6.10 Notification of Litigation. Borrower shall promptly notify the City in writing of
any litigation affecting the Borrower or the Development and of any claims or disputes that
involve a material risk of litigation, which may materially adversely affect the City Loan.

Agency, their councilmembers, boardmembers, officers, employees, agents, and contractors,
utilizing attorneys approved by the City, harmless from any and all claims, actions, demands,
costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of, attributable to, or otherwise
occasioned, in whole or in part, by any act or omission of Borrower arising from or related to the
Development, except as such claim may arise from the negligence or willful misconduct of an
indemnified party. This Section 6.1 1 shall not operate to impose personal liability on Borrower
or its partners for nonpayment of principal and interest under the City Note.
6.12 Hazardous Materials.
(a) The Borrower shall keep and maintain the Development in compliance
with, and shall not cause or permit the Development to be in violation of, any federal, state, or
local laws, ordinances, or regulations relating to industrial hygiene or to the environmental
conditions on or under the Development, including (but not limited to) soil and ground water
conditions. The Borrower shall not use, generate, manufacture, store, or dispose of, on, under, or
about the Development, or transport to or from the Development, any flammable explosives,
radioactive materials, hazardous wastes, toxic substances, or related materials, including (without
limitation) any substances defined as or included in the definition of "hazardous substances,"
"hazardous wastes," ''hazardous materials," or "toxic substances" under any applicable federal or
state laws or regulations (collectively referred to as "Hazardous Materials") except such of the
foregoing as may be customarily and lawfully kept and used in and about multifamily residential
property-
(b) The Borrower shall immediately advise the City in writing if at any time it
receives written notice of: (i) any and all enforcement, cleanup, removal, or other governmental
or regulatory actions instituted, completed, or threatened against the Borrower or the
Development pursuant to any applicable federal, state, or local laws, ordinances, or regulations
relating to any Hazardous Materials ("Hazardous Materials Law"); (ii) all claims made or
threatened by any third party against the Borrower or the Development relating to damage,
contribution, cost recovery compensation, loss, or injury resulting from any Hazardous Materials
(the matters set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above are referred to as "Hazardous Materials
Claims"); and (iii) the Borrower's discovery of any occurrence or condition on any real property
adjoining or in the vicinity of the Development that could cause the Development or any part
thereof to be classified as "border-zone property" under California Health and Safety Code
Sections 25220 et seq. or corresponding regulations, or to be otherwise subject to any restrictions
on the ownership, occupancy, transferability, or use of the Development under any Hazardous
Materials Law.
(c) The Borrower shall permit the City to join and participate in, as a party if
it so elects, any legal proceedings or actions initiated in connection with any Hazardous
Materials. The Borrower shall indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably chosen by the City, at
the City's option), and hold harmless the City, and the Agency, and their respective
councilmembers, boardmembers, officers, agents, and employees from and against any loss,
damage, cost, expense, or liability directly or indirectly arising out of or attributable to the use,
generation, storage, release, threatened release, discharge, disposal, or presence of Hazardous
Materials on or under the Development, including (without limitation): (i) all foreseeable
consequential damages; (ii) the costs of any required or necessary repair, cleanup, or
detoxification of the Development and the preparation and implementation of any closure,
remedial, or other required plans; and (iii) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the City
or the City in connection with clauses (i) and (ii), including (but not limited to) reasonable
attorneys' fees. This paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement.
(d) Without the City's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld, the Borrower shall not take any remedial action in response to the presence of any
Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Development, nor enter into any settlement
agreement, consent decree, or other compromise in respect to any Hazardous Material Claims,
which remedial action settlement, consent decree or compromise might, in the City's reasonable
judgment, impair the value of the City's security hereunder; provided, however, that the City's
prior consent shall not be necessary in the event that the presence of Hazardous Materials on,
under, or about the Development either poses an immediate threat to the health, safety, or welfare
of any individual or is of such a nature that an immediate remedial response is necessary and it is
not reasonably possible to obtain the City's consent before taking such action, provided that in
such event the Borrower shall notify the City as soon as practicable of any action so taken. The
City agrees not to withhold its consent, where such consent is required hereunder, if either (i) a
particular remedial action is ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) the Borrower will
or may be subjected to civil or criminal sanctions or penalties if it fails to take a required action;
(iii) the Borrower establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of the City that there is no reasonable
alternative to such remedial action which would result in less impairment of the City's security
hereunder; or (iv) the action has been agreed to by the City.
(e) The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) this Section 6.12 is
intended as the City's written request for information (and the Borrower's response) concerning
the environmental condition of the Development as required by California Code of Civil
Procedure Section 726.5, and (ii) each representation and warranty in this Agreement (together
with any indemnity obligation applicable to a breach of any such representation and warranty)
with respect to the environmental condition of the Development is intended by the Parties to be
an ''environmental provision" for purposes of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736.
6.13 Non-Discrimination. The Borrower covenants by and for itself and its successors
and assigns that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of a person or of a group
of persons on account of race, color, religion, creed, sex, sexual orientation, marital status,
ancestry or national origin in the sale, lease, sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure or
enjoyment of the Development, nor shall the Borrower or any person claiming under or through
the Borrower establish or permit any such practice or practices of discrimination or segregation
with reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy of tenants, lessees,
subtenants, sublessees or vendees in the Development. Pursuant to the terms of the City
Regulatory Agreement, the foregoing covenant shall run with the land and shall survive
termination of this Agreement.
6.14 Mandatory Language in All Subsequent Deeds, Leases and Contracts. The
Borrower and its agents shall not, in the selection or approval of tenants or provision of services
or in any other matter, discriminate against any person or group of persons on the grounds of
race, color, creed, religion, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, ancestry, age,
or disability. All deeds, contracts, or leases made or entered into by Borrower, its successors or
assigns, as to any portion of the Development shall contain the following language:
(a) In Deeds: "Grantee herein covenants by and for itself, its successors and
assigns that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of a person or of a group of

property herein conveyed nor shall the grantee or any person claiming under or through the
grantee establish or permit any such practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with
reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy of tenants, lessees, subtenants,

the land."
(b) In Contracts: "There shall be no discrimination against or segregation of
any person or group of persons on account of race, color, creed, religion, sex, sexual orientation,
marital status, national origin or ancestry in the sale, transfer or use of the property."

heirs, personal representatives and assigns and all persons claiming under the lessee or through
the lessee that this lease is made subject to the condition that there shall be no discrimination
against or segregation of any person or of a group of persons on account of race, color, creed,
religion, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin or ancestry in the leasing,
subleasing, transferring, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the land herein leased nor shall

practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location,
number, use or occupancy of tenants, lessees, sublessees, subtenants, or vendees in the land
herein leased."
6.15 Records.
(a) The Borrower shall maintain complete, accurate, and current records
pertaining to the Development for a period of five (5) years after the creation of such records, and
shall permit any duly authorized representative of the City to inspect and copy records, including
records pertaining to income and household size of residents of the Development. Such records
shall include records regarding the occupancy and rent levels of the residential units in the
Development, as well as records that accurately and fully show the date, amount, purpose, and
payee of all expenditures drawn from Loan funds. Such records shall also include all invoices,
receipts, and other documents related to expenditures from the City Loan funds. Records must
be kept accurate and current.
(b) The City shall notify the Borrower of any records it deems insufficient.
The Borrower shall have fifteen (15) calendar days after the receipt of such a notice to correct
any deficiency in the records specified by the City in such notice, or if a period longer than
fifteen (15) days is reasonably necessary to correct the deficiency, then the Borrower shall begin
to correct the deficiency within fifteen (1 5) days and correct the deficiency as soon as reasonably
possible.
(c) The Borrower shall promptly comply with all requirements or conditions
of the City Loan Documents relating to notices, extensions, and other events required to be
reported or requested. The Borrower shall promptly supply, upon the request of the City, any and
all information and documentation involving the Development.
6.16 Transfers.
(a) For purposes of this Agreement, "Transfer" shall mean any sale,
assignment, or transfer, whether voluntary of involuntary, of (i) any rights and/or duties under
this Agreement, and/or (ii) any interest in the Development, including (but not limited to) a fee
simple interest, a joint tenancy interest, a life estate, a partnership interest, a leasehold interest, a
security interest, or an interest evidenced by a land contract by which possession of the
Development is transferred and the Borrower retains title. The term "Transfer" shall exclude the
leasing of any single unit in the Development to an occupant in compliance with the City
Regulatory Agreement.
(b) No Transfer shall be permitted without the prior written consent of the
City, which the City shall not unreasonably withhold, provided that construction of the
Development has been completed, the proposed transferee meets the City's reasonable standards
regarding creditworthiness, and the proposed transferee has at least five (5) years experience in
the ownership, management, and operation of large affordable housing developments, without
any record of material violations of discrimination laws, housing codes, or other federal, state, or
local laws or regulations applicable to such developments. Pursuant to Section 2.3(e) above, the
City Loan shall automatically accelerate and be due in full upon any unauthorized Transfer.
Upon request to transfer, Borrower must submit a "Reserve Plan" on how the existing reserves
will be used to the benefit and long term health of the Development. Said Reserve Plan must be
acceptable to the City.
(c) The City approves the transfer of limited partnership interests to an
investor limited partner in connection with the low income housing tax credit syndication of the
Development, provided Borrower's partnership agreement and related syndication documents are
first approved by the City, which approval shall not be withheld unreasonably.
(d) If a Limited Partner removes the general partner of Borrower in
accordance with the terms of Borrower's partnership agreement, such removal will not constitute
a default under any of the Loan Documents, provided that within ninety (90) days after the
removal of the general partner, Limited Partner shall have selected a substitute general partner
approved by the City, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Notwithstanding anything contained in the Loan Documents to the contrary, any assignment or
transfer by Limited Partner of Limited Partner's partnership or ownership interest in Borrower
pursuant to Borrowerls partnership agreement will not constitute a default or impermissible
transfer under any of the Loan Documents.

principal and interest on the City Note when due and such failure having continued uncured for
thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof to the Borrower from the City;
(c) Breach of Covenants. Failure by Borrower to duly perform, comply with,
or observe any of the conditions, terms, or covenants of any of the Loan Documents, and such
failure having continued uncured for thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof by the
Borrower from the City or, if the breach cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, the Borrower
shall not be in breach so long as Borrower is diligently undertaking to cure such breach and such
breach is cured within ninety (90) days; provided, however, that if a different period or notice
requirement is specified under any other section of this Article 7, the specific provisions shall
control.
(d) Insolvency. A court having jurisdiction shall have made or entered any
decree or order (i) adjudging Borrower to be bankrupt or insolvent, (ii) approving as properly
filed a petition seeking reorganization of Borrower or seeking any arrangement for Borrower
under the bankruptcy law or any other applicable debtor's relief law or statute of the United
States or any state or other jurisdiction, (iii) appointing a receiver, trustee, liquidator, or assignee
of Borrower in bankruptcy or insolvency or for any of their properties, or (iv) directing the
winding up or liquidation of Borrower, if any such decree or order described in clauses (i) to (iv),
inclusive, shall have continued unstayed or undischarged for a period of ninety (90) days; or
Borrower shall have admitted in writing its inability to pay its debts as they fall due or shall have
voluntarily submitted to or filed a petition seeking any decree or order of the nature described in
clauses (i) to (iv), inclusive. The occurrence of any of the Events of Default in this paragraph
shall act to accelerate automatically, without the need for any action by the City, the indebtedness
evidenced by the Note. The occurrence of any of the events described in this subsection with
respect to a general partner of the Borrower shall also constitute an Event of Default hereunder.
(0 Assiment; Attachment. Borrower (or a general partner of Borrower)
shall have assigned its assets for the benefit of its creditors or suffered a sequestration or
attachment of or execution on any substantial part of its property, unless the property so assigned,
sequestered, attached or executed upon shall have been returned or released within ninety (90)
days after such event or prior to sooner sale pursuant to such sequestration, attachment, or
execution. The occurrence of any of the events of default in this paragraph shall act to accelerate
automatically, without the need for any action by the City, the indebtedness evidenced by the
Note.
(g) Suspension; Termination. Borrower (or a general partner of Borrower)
shall have voluntarily suspended its business or, Borrower's partnership shall have been dissolved
or terminated, other than a technical termination of the partnership for tax purposes.
(h) Liens on Property and the Proiect. There shall be filed any claim of lien

of the City Loan and the continued maintenance of said claim of lien or notices to withhold for a
period of twenty (20) days without discharge or satisfaction thereof or provision therefor
satisfactory to the City. In the event that Borrower is diligently working to remove a claim of
lien or to remove a notice to withhold proceeds and the City's interests under the Loan

subsection.

(1) Limited Partner Notice and Cure Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in the Loan Documents, Limited Partner shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to cure defaults of Borrower under any of the Loan Documents and the City agrees to
accept cures tendered by Limited Partner as follows: (a) with respect to any monetary default
under any of the Loan Documents, the City shall notify Limited Partner in writing of the
monetary default and Limited Partner shall have thirty (30) days after the receipt of said notice of
such monetary default to cure such monetary default; and (b) with respect to any breach of
covenant pursuant to Section 7.1 (c) above, the City shall notify Limited Partner in writing of the
breach and Limited Partner shall have thirty (30) additional days to cure the breach beyond the
cure periods granted to Borrower under Section 7.l(c). If a Limited Partner cannot cure a breach
because the Borrower's general partner is in bankruptcy and/or because the cure requires removal
of the general partner of the Borrower and the Limited Partner is proceeding diligently to remove
the general partner of the Borrower in order to effect a cure of the breach, the cure period shall be
extended for such reasonable time as is necessary for the Permitted Limited Partner to effect a
cure of the breach, but in no event longer than one hundred and eighty (1 80) days after the date of
receipt by the Limited Partner of written notice of the breach. The City agrees that no Event of
Default hereunder shall be deemed to exist until the expiration of any contractual notice and cure
periods provided to Borrower and Limited Partner.
7.2 Remedies. The occurrence of any Event of Default following the expiration of all
applicable notice and cure periods will, either at the option of the City or automatically where so
specified, relieve the City of any obligation to make or continue the City Loan and shall give the
City the right to proceed with any and all remedies set forth in this Agreement and the Loan
Documents, including but not limited to the following:
(a) Acceleration of Note. The City shall have the right to cause all
indebtedness of the Borrower to the City under this Agreement and the City Note, together with
any accrued interest thereon, to become immediately due and payable. The Borrower waives all
right to presentment, demand, protest or notice of protest or dishonor. The City may proceed to
enforce payment of the indebtedness and to exercise any or all rights afforded to the City as a
creditor and secured party under the law including the Uniform Commercial Code, including
foreclosure under the City Deed of Trust. The Borrower shall be liable to pay the City on
demand all reasonable expenses, costs and fees (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorney's fees and expenses) paid or incurred by the City in connection with the collection of the
Loan and the preservation, maintenance, protection, sale, or other disposition of the security
given for the Loan.
(b) Specific Performance. The City shall have the right to mandamus or other
suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity to require Borrower to perform its obligations and
covenants under the Loan Documents or to enjoin acts on things which may be unlawful or in
violation of the provisions of the Loan Documents.
(c) Right to Cure at Borrower's Expense. The City shall have the right (but
not the obligation) to cure any monetary default by Borrower under a loan other than the City
Loan. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the City for any funds advanced by the City to cure a
monetary default by Borrower upon demand therefor, together with interest thereon at the rate of
three percent (3%) per annum from the date of expenditure until the date of reimbursement.
7.3 Right of Contest. Borrower shall have the right to contest in good faith
any claim, demand, levy, or assessment the assertion of which would constitute an Event of
Default hereunder. Any such contest shall be prosecuted diligently and in a manner unprejudicial
to the City or the rights of the City hereunder.
7.4 Remedies Cumulative. No right, power, or remedy given to the City by the terms
of this Agreement or the Loan Documents is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power,
or remedy; and each and every such right, power, or remedy shall be cumulative and in addition
to every other right, power, or remedy given to the City by the terms of any such instrument, or
by any statute or otherwise against Borrower and any other person. Neither the failure nor any
delay on the part of the City to exercise any such rights and remedies shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the City of any such right or remedy preclude
any other or further exercise of such right or remedy, or any other right or remedy.
7.5 Waiver of Terms and Conditions. The City Manager may at his or her discretion
waive in writing any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, without the Borrower
completing an amendment to this Agreement. No waiver of any default or breach by Borrower
hereunder shall be implied from any omission by the City to take action on account of such
default if such default persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall affect any default other
than the default specified in the waiver, and such waiver shall be operative only for the time and
to the extent therein stated. Waivers of any covenant, term, or condition contained herein shall
not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same covenant, term, or condition.
The consent or approval by the City to or of any act by Borrower requiring further consent or
approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the consent or approval to or of any
subsequent similar act. The exercise of any right, power, or remedy shall in no event constitute a
cure or a waiver of any default under this Agreement or the Loan Documents, nor shall it
invalidate any act done pursuant to notice of default, or prejudice the City in the exercise of any
right, power, or remedy hereunder or under the Loan Documents.

April 30,2002 4

assertion of the power of eminent domain, (2) any damage to or destruction of the Property or
any part thereof by insured casualty, and (3) any other injury or damage to all or any part of the
Property ("Funds") are hereby assigned to and shall be paid to, subject to the requirements of

of Trust and may deduct and retain from the proceeds of such insurance the amount of all
expenses incurred by it in connection with any such settlement or adjustment. All fire and
standard risk or extended coverage (casualty) insurance proceeds shall be applied to the payment
of the costs of repairing or rebuilding that part of the improvements on the Property damaged or
destroyed if (i) the Trustor agrees in writing within ninety (90) days after payment of the
proceeds of insurance that such repair or rebuilding is economically feasible, and (ii) each lender
in connection with outstanding Construction and Permanent Financing (as defined in the Loan
April 30, 2002 6
Agreement) permits such repairing or rebuilding, provided that the extent of Trustor's obligation
to restore the improvements shall be limited to the amount of the insurance proceeds. If the
improvements are not repaired or rebuilt as provided in this Section 4.1, all such proceeds shall
be applied to repayment of outstanding loans including the loan secured by this Deed of Trust, in
the order of lien priority. Application of all or any part of the Funds collected and received by
the Beneficiary or the release thereof shall not cure or waive any default under this Deed of Trust.
The rights of the Beneficiary under this Section 4.1 are subject to the rights of any senior

should employ attorneys or incur other expenses for the collection of amounts due or the
enforcement of performance or observance of an obligation or agreement on the part of the
Trustor in this Deed of Trust, the Trustor agrees that it will, on demand therefor, pay to the
Beneficiary the reasonable fees of such attorneys and such other reasonable expenses so incurred
by the Beneficiary; and any such amounts paid by the Beneficiary shall be added to the

expenses are incurred at the lesser of ten percent (1 0%) per annum or the maximum amount
permitted by law.

not deemed or permitted to be fixtures, this Deed of Trust shall constitute a security agreement
under the California Commercial Code.
April 30, 2002 7

pursuant to the appropriate statutes, and any other documents or instruments as are reasonably

the Beneficiary to maintain such valid perfected security interest in the Security in order to secure
the payment of the Note in accordance with its terms. The Beneficiary is authorized to file a
copy of any such financing statement in any jurisdiction(s) as it shall deem appropriate from time
to time in order to protect the security interest established pursuant to this instrument.

fees, to inspect the Security.

The Trustor herein covenants by and for itself, its heirs, executors, administrators, and
assigns, and all persons claiming under or through them, that there shall be no discrimination
against or segregation of, any person or group of persons on account of race, color, creed,
religion, age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin or ancestry in the
sale, lease, sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the Security, nor shall the
Trustor itself or any person claiming under or through it establish or permit any such practice or
practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use

April 30,2002 8
Trustor's other covenants, agreements or obligations under the Loan Documents, including,
without limitation, the provisions concerning discrimination, subject to applicable notice and
cure periods, if any, included in the Loan Documents; or (3) failure to make any payment or

Beneficiary, the amount of any payment related to the Event of Default and the unpaid Principal
of the Note shall immediately become due and payable, upon written notice by the Beneficiary to
the Trustor (or automatically where so specified in the Loan Documents), and no omission on the
part of the Beneficiary to exercise such option when entitled to do so shall be construed as a
waiver of such right.
Section 6.3 The Beneficiary's Right to Enter and Take Possession.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Beneficiary may:
(a) Either in person or by agent, with or without bringing any action or
proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court, and without regard to the adequacy of its
security, enter upon the Security and take possession thereof (or any part thereof), in its own
name or in the name of Trustee, and do any acts which it deems necessary or desirable to
preserve the value or marketability of the Property, or part thereof or interest therein, increase the
income therefrom or protect the security thereof. The entering upon and taking possession of the
Security shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or Notice of Default (as defined below)
hereunder or invalidate any act done in response to such Event of Default or pursuant to such
Notice of Default and, notwithstanding the continuance in possession of the Security, Beneficiary
shall be entitled to exercise every right provided for in this Deed of Trust, or by law upon
occurrence of any Event of Default, including the right to exercise the power of sale;

appoint a receiver, or specifically enforce any of the covenants hereof;

("Notice of Default and Election to Sell"), which notice Trustee or Beneficiary shall cause to be
duly filed for record in the Official Records of San Diego County; or
(d) Exercise all other rights and remedies provided herein, or in any other
document or agreement now or hereafter evidencing, creating or securing all or any portion of the
obligations secured hereby, or provided by law.
April 30,2002 9
Section 6.4 Foreclosure By Power of Sale.
Should the Beneficiary elect to foreclose by exercise of the power of sale herein
contained following an Event of Default, the Beneficiary shall give notice to the Trustee (the
"Notice of Sale") and shall deposit with Trustee this Deed of Trust which is secured hereby (and
the deposit of which shall be deemed to constitute evidence that the unpaid principal amount of
the Note is immediately due and payable), and such receipts and evidence of any expenditures
made that are additionally secured hereby as Trustee may require.
(a) Upon receipt of such notice from the Beneficiary, Trustee shall cause to be
recorded, published and delivered to Trustor such Notice of Default and Election to Sell as then
required by law and by this Deed of Trust. Trustee shall, without demand on Trustor, after lapse
of such time as may then be required by law and after recordation of such Notice of Default and
Election to Sell and after Notice of Sale having been given as required by law, sell the Security,
at the time and place of sale fixed by it in said Notice of Sale, whether as a whole or in separate
lots or parcels or items as Trustee shall deem expedient and in such order as it may determine
unless specified otherwise by the Trustor according to California Civil Code Section 2924g(b), at
public auction to the highest bidder, for cash in lawful money of the United States payable at the
time of sale. Trustee shall deliver to such purchaser or purchasers thereof its good and sufficient

management policies with respect to the Development to the City for its review, and shall amend
such policies in any way necessary to ensure that such policies comply with the provisions of this
Agreement.
5.6 Property Maintenance. The Owner agrees, for the entire Term of this Agreement,
to maintain all interior and exterior improvements, including landscaping, on the Property in
good condition and repair (and, as to landscaping, in a healthy condition) and in accordance with
all applicable laws, rules, ordinances, orders and regulations of all federal, state, county,
municipal, and other governmental agencies and bodies having or claiming jurisdiction and all
their respective departments, bureaus, and officials.
The City places prime importance on quality maintenance to protect its investment and to
ensure that all City-assisted affordable housing projects within the City are not allowed to
deteriorate due to below-average maintenance. Normal wear and tear of the Development will be
acceptable to the City assuming the Owner agrees to provide all necessary improvements to
assure the Development is maintained in good condition. The Owner shall make all repairs and
replacements necessary to keep the improvements in good condition and repair.
In the event that the Owner breaches any of the covenants contained in this section and
such default continues for a period of five (5) days after written notice from the City with respect
to graffiti, debris, and waste material, or thirty (30) days after written notice with respect to
general maintenance, landscaping and building improvements, (and subject to any stricter
requirements included in any applicable City ordinance) then the City, in addition to whatever
other remedy it may have at law or in equity, shall have the right to enter upon the Property and
perform or cause to be performed all such acts and work necessary to cure the default. Pursuant
to such right of entry, the City shall be permitted (but is not required) to enter upon the Property
and perform all acts and work necessary to protect, maintain, and preserve the improvements and
landscaped areas on the Property, and to attach a lien on the Property, or to assess the Property, in
the amount of the reasonable expenditures arising from such acts and work of protection,
maintenance, and preservation by the City and/or costs of such cure, including an administrative
9
charge equal to ten percent (1 0%) of such expenditures, which amount shall be promptly paid by
the Owner to the City upon demand.
