3-21-03 - This day's Council session - Motion - Perry Mover 2003 / Pacheco - MJW Investments is the developer of the Santee Court project in the heart of downtown's Fashion District. The project will involve adaptive re-use of nine buildings and will ultimately provide 460 market rate housing units priced for "workforce affordability" and 118 affordable units. The project also includes more than 200,000 square feet of commercial and retail space, outdoor dining and public gathering spaces, pedestrian enhancements and public gathering spaces, pedestrian enhancements and public parking.
Santee Court provides some exciting opportunities for an area in significant need of revitalization. The developer is restoring the buildings and preserving the character of the area, while providing unique and affordable housing opportunities that currently do not exist. The project provides the opportunity to link areas such as the loft district, the historic core and South Park and will, in combination with other existing and planned housing conversion projects, create a vibrant residential community in downtown.
Impressive progress on the project has already been made. One of the building conversions, the 1940's Gerry Building on 9th and Los Angeles Streets, has already been renovated. Demolition and construction of Phase I of the Santee Court housing projects has already begun. All of this has so far been accomplished with out public money.
Although progress has been made, a key component of the project is the parking structure as 626 Maple. Since the project is almost all adaptive re-use, code required parking is minimal. However, lenders do not view the housing units as marketable without nearby available parking. To date, the parking structure is not funded, and unless those funding issues are resolved quickly, continued development of the project will not be possible.
The developer, in an attempt to identify funding for the parking garage, has been meeting with City staff for an extended period of time, but no solutions have been proposed. Therefore, at my request, the Chief Legislative Analyst has been meeting with the developer to identify potential solutions. The funding issues on the garage appear to be resolvable, and the Chief Legislative Analyst has prepared the attached report identifying several options. It is essential that this issue be resolved immediately.
THEREFORE MOVE, that the Council, adopt the recommendations in the attached report from the Chief Legislative Analyst.

7-25-03 - This day's Council session - Motion - Cardenas Mover 2003 / Parks / Padilla - On June 10, 2003, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 175302 authorizing the sale of certain real property owned by the City of Los Angeles to the Los Angeles Wholesale Produce Market LLC, located in Council District Fourteen (Council File 01-0240). Based on the City's appraised value on the property the market will sell for approximately $18 million. As part of the 2003 -2004 Budget process, the Council approved approximately $16 million of the proceeds from the sale to be allocated to various projects including: $7.5 million to Boyle Heights Youth Opportunities Movement, $2.4 million for the expansion of the Bulky Item Center project to Hollywood, South Los Angeles and the Valley, $1.58 million for the Fire Departments' 10th Member Task Force, $1 million for the City Attorney's Worker Compensation Fraud Investigation and Gang Unit; $1 million for Sheldon-Arleta and $2 million for the Highland Park Revitalization Project. As part of the approval, the City Council instructed the offices of the Chief Legislative Analyst to report to Council with recommendations on expending the remaining balance of approximately $2 million.
On May 5, 2003 (Council File 02-0029) the City Council approved a Communication from Economic Development and Employment Committee which authorized the Chief Legislative Analyst, with the assistance of Community Development Department, to submit an application to Economic Development Administration for approximately $1.5 million from the City's $2.8 million unallocated Economic Development Administration funds. Subsequently, the Mayor's Office released recommendations for the use of the $2.8 million Economic Development Administration funds that did not include the Santee project in the allocation. There are insufficient funds from the Economic Development Administration unallocated funds for all projects including Santee.
On July 14, 2003 the City Council approved Motion (Parks - Garcetti - Ludlow - Villaraigosa - Cardenas - Hahn - Perry) requesting the Chief Legislative Analyst and City Administrative Officer to identify $1 million to augment the LA Bridges II program (Council File 03-1473) and report within 30 days.
The unallocated balance from the produce market sale may be used to provide funds to the Santee Court project and augment the LA Bridges II program. As such the City Council should instruct the Chief Legislative Analyst and City Administrative Officer to report on the feasibility of utilizing these funds to assist the Santee Court project and LA Bridges II program and report to Council within the allocated time period.
THEREFORE MOVE that the Council instruct the Office of the Chief Legislative Analyst and the City Administrative Officer to report to Council in the feasibility of utilizing the unallocated balance from the sale of the Produce Market to: (1) fund the Santee Court project ($1 million) and an additional $500,000 for Mayor's Urban Development Agency Grant; and (2) augment the LA Bridges II program ($1 million); and report back at the next Housing, Community and Economic Development Committee meeting.

The Housing, Community and Economic Development Committee instructed the Office of the Chief Legislative Analyst and requested the Mayor's Office to meet and report to Council on the available Mayor's Urban Development Agency Grant funds that may be used to fully fund the Santee Court Project ($500,000). Due to end of year close out, at this time the offices are unable to obtain the most current accounting reconciliation of various accounts. To date, a balance of $191,000 remains in this account in addition to recent Produce Market rent and interest revenue. In that Santee Court is in immediate need of a City commitment of funds and LA Brides has been allocated other sources of funds, $1.5 million should be allocated to the Santee Project and $500,000 to LA Bridges from the proceeds of the Produce Market sale.
On July 8, 2003 (Council File 03-1425) the City Council adopted Motion (Greuel-Garcetti) accepting an additional allocation of 1995 Community Services Block Grant funds in the amount of $765,376 and requested the Community Development Department to report back with recommendations on how to allocate the funds. The Community Development Department is recommending an additional $225,000 for LA Bridges II from this source for a total of $725,000. The balance of $275,000 will be identified and allocated from either the Mayor's Urban Development Agency Grant, Community Development Block Grant, 1995 CSBG or other sources in order to meet the LA Bridges needs in a timely manner.
Additionally, the City Administrative Officer and Chief Legislative Analyst should be instructed to review the current allocations (projects and programs) recommended for funding within the 1995 Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) funds Community Development Department transmittal dated August 2, 2003 (Council File 03-1425) and report to Committee relative to immediate need for program funds, program budget and expenditure schedule, other funding sources and stated priorities including LA Bridges II.
