Regarding Item No. 42, Agency Member Coronado indicated that the property located at
Cerritos and Valley View should be incorporated into a Redevelopment Project Area in order
to consolidate the land with the adjacent development.
The City Attorney reported that with a parcel as small as the one in question, it is not
economically feasible to create a redevelopment parcel and due to the time constraints, it is
not possible to combine the site with the existing redevelopment project areas.
Mr. Essex suggested that staff contact the owner of the property and inquire as to his plans
for the parcel and return with a report in January, 1986.
CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST BY NATIONAL CHURCH RESIDENCES OF CYPRESS FOR
WAIVER OF FILING FEES ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROCESSING OF THE SECTION 202/8
SENIOR CITIZEN HOUSING PROJECT: Mr. Essex presented a staff report dated December
Redevelopment Agency Minutes December 9, 1985
2) 1985 representing a request from National Church Residences of Cypress that all filing
fees associated with the processing of the Section 202/8 affordable senior rental housing
project be waived. These fees would include, but not be limited to, filing fees for the
conditional use permit and for the parcel map and associated drainage fees in the
approximate amount of $10,000. Additionally, the organization is requesting that the
payment of plan check fees be deferred until the issuance of building permits. Mr. Essex
reported that the City Attorney had recommended that the Redevelopment Agency pay these
fees rather than waiving them.
Agency Member Lacayo suggested that as an alternative to waiving the fees, the Agency
approve a long-term payment of the fees to be due when the first mortgage is paid off.
Ms. Eynon indicated that National Church would be contacting HUD to ask for additional
funds for land valuation, which may be used to pay the fees.
Considerable discussion continued and the City Attorney indicated that a decision need not
be made at this time and suggested waiting to see what HUD says regarding the funding.
Hearing no objections, Chairman Kanel so ordered it continued to enable staff to investigate.
ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business, Chairman Kanel adjourned the meeting at
11:33 p.m.
