B. Development Site
Development Site Location
The Authority-owned and City-owned Development Sites are portrayed in Attachments A, B, and C. The Development Sites total 6.64 acres and consists of eight non-contiguous, but close proximity sites in Uptown Whittier. The Development Sites consists of eighteen parcels, with the smallest contiguous piece being 0.26 acres and the largest totaling 3.46 acres. Attachment D contains a full listing of all the parcels with pertinent details such as assessor’s parcel number, acreage, existing use, and zoning. The Development Sites are currently improved surface parking lots, a multi-deck parking structure, and access Gallerias for pedestrian access to Greenleaf Avenue, while the Friends of the Library Site also contains a historic building that was once used a Greyhound Bus Depot.
Zoning / Development Restrictions
The Development Sites are located within the Uptown Whittier Specific Plan Area (Specific Plan). Under the requirements imposed by the Specific Plan, the Development Sites may be developed with a mix of residential and commercial uses with heights of up to four-stories. The Specific Plan also includes provisions that ensure historically sensitive, high quality architectural design and a walkable urban space facilitated through a park once strategy2. The Specific Plan can be found at https://www.cityofwhittier.org/government/community- development/economic-development/planning-documents/uptown-specific-plan . It is anticipated that the State Density Bonus Law found in Government Code Section 65915, will be utilized to facilitate specified affordable housing on the Development Sites. Two Parking Districts, established in the 1960’s, remain active in the Uptown Area and provide parking to the public in consolidated City-owned lots.
Scope of Development
The Authority and City wish to secure a development team that can create a vision for the Development Sites that is compatible with the goals and objectives defined in the Specific Plan.
2 The Specific Plan includes a “Park Once District” where the parking requirements are reduced to reflect shared parking opportunities. A new 351-car multi-story parking structure was recently constructed on the City owned lots on the east side of Comstock Avenue south of Bailey Street. RFQ/P: Alpha Beta and Uptown North Sites Page 5 City of Whittier March 26, 2021
In addition, the City has an objective of replacing and sharing permanent parking under the Park Once District Specific Plan directive, and for the project to include an open-space component. The allowable uses include affordable and market-rate residential units, office, and retail. Given that this project will be a public-private partnership, it may be necessary to impose prevailing wage requirements on all or certain portions of the development. At this time, the City and Authority are seeking a development team to acquire the Development Sites under the Exempt Surplus procedures of the Surplus Land Act3, and to develop horizontally and vertically mixed-use projects that anticipate the following components:
1. Approximately 200 Market-rate ownership residential units.
2. Approximately 25 Moderate-income ownership residential units, as defined in Health and Safety Code Section 50052.5 and 50093, restricted for a minimum of 45 years.
3. Up to 75 (or 25%) Low- and Very Low-income rental apartment residential units, as defined in Health and Safety Code Sections 50053 and 50079.5, restricted for a minimum of 55 years.
4. Ground-floor retail or other commercial uses that complement and enhance the livability of the residential units and Uptown overall.
5. A dedicated open space component.
6. Replacement and efficient sharing of public parking.
7. Partnership with City and other entities for funding and implementation of Uptown streetscape improvements, Greenway Trail bicycle connectivity, and local public transit.
Public Objectives
The Authority and City see this project as an opportunity for a large-scale catalytic project for Uptown Whittier that will implement the following eight principles of the Specific Plan: 1) Pedestrian Orientation, 2) Mix of Land Uses, 3) Infill Development, 4) Interconnected Street System, 5) Quality of the Public Realm, 6) Distinct Character, 7) Housing Choice, and 8) Smart Transportation and Planning. The City desires a development team with demonstrated success at applying for and obtaining Affordable Housing Sustainable Communities (AHSC) funding. AHSC is generated through Cap-and-Trade auction proceeds and may competitively provide up to $30 million for smart development and actions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
3 Government Code Section 54221, subdivision (f)(1)(F)(ii) RFQ/P: Alpha Beta and Uptown North Sites Page 6 City of Whittier March 26, 2021
Typically, awardees are a partnership between an affordable housing Developer, City, and Transit Provider that propose affordable housing development with housing-related and sustainable infrastructure improvements to transit, urban greening, and pedestrian/bicycle access. For the purposes of this RFQ/P, the anticipated AHSC application would include the aforementioned affordable and market-rate housing, in addition to implementation of the Uptown Whittier Streetscape Plan, enhanced Greenway Trail connectivity to Uptown, and a people mover transit concept that would connect Uptown to: PIH Health Hospital and the adjacent future Metro Goldline Terminus, other new and existing major commercial centers, and the Puente Hills Habitat Authority open space areas.
Funding Resources
The Authority and City have a combined three financial resources that are anticipated to be used to support the production of affordable housing on the Development Sites:
1. The 3.46-acre Alpha Beta land itself held by the Authority’s Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Fund (LMIHAF):
a. The Alpha Beta site is anticipated to be developed with market-rate and approximately 25 moderate-income condominiums.
b. It is anticipated the selected development team will purchase the site at the fair market value with a portion of the payment derived from silent second deeds of trust that are equal to the difference between the unrestricted market rate price and the designated Affordable Purchase Price under the Authority’s Affordable Home Ownership Program (AHOP).
c. These units would be subject to resale restriction covenants that run for a 45- year period for each unit.
2. LMIHAF funding is available to offset the financial impact associated with the affordability covenants that will restrict all or a portion of the new apartments developed on the Development Sites to low and very-low income households.
a. The amount of available funding is estimated at $7 to $8 million.
b. The covenant period for these units will be set at a period of at least 55-years.
RFQ/P: Alpha Beta and Uptown North Sites Page 7 City of Whittier March 26, 2021
3. The City controlled Federal HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) funding is also or alternatively available to offset the financial impact associated with the affordability covenants being imposed on a project(s).
a. The amount of available funding is estimated at approximately $2 million.
b. The covenant period for the HOME funds will be set at the standards established by HUD based on the amount of assistance that is provided.
The City intends for the LMIHAF and HOME dollars to be leveraged with outside funding sources. These funds include Federal, State and County Sources including at a minimum AHSC and LIHTC funding.
Most of the remaining City land holdings included as part of the Development Sites, currently provide public parking to the businesses, customers, and residents utilizing Uptown. It is anticipated that these land resources could be exchanged for equivalent public parking and value under the comprehensive development plan.
Other Site Conditions
1. As shown on Attachments E and F, the Development Sites are located within the Uptown Business Improvement District that requires merchants to pay an annual assessment on their business licenses. The BID is operated by the Whittier Uptown Association. New businesses opened on the Development Sites would likely become members of the BID.
2. As shown on Attachments E and F, the Development Sites are located within the Uptown Community Benefit District (CBD), a property-based business improvement district operated by the Uptown Whittier Improvement Association. The special assessments under the CBD are annually included on the County generated property tax bills. All the Development Sites are included in the CBD and subject to the special assessments.
3. As shown on Attachments E and F, the Development Sites are located within both the Uptown Parking District No. 1 formed in 1963 and Uptown Parking District No. 2 formed in 1965. These Districts collect assessments on the County generated property tax bills. The funds are used to collectively provide and maintain public parking in Uptown, preventing the need for individual commercial lots to provide their own onsite private parking. In addition to the assessment, there are recorded parking easements affecting
RFQ/P: Alpha Beta and Uptown North Sites Page 8 City of Whittier March 26, 2021
Lots 5 and 12 that will require review and coordination prior to commencement of the anticipated development.
