Crestridge Senior Housing Project (1900 x 701)
The staff report of May 3, 2005 recommended that Council approve the
Professional Services Agreement between the City Redevelopment Agency and
Rosenow Spevacek Group, Inc.
Executive Director Evans advised Council that the Crestridge Senior Housing
project appeared to be moving forward; noted that John Llaing Homes had been
identified as the developer of this project; that the developer was willing to provide
a site for a senior center; and that the developer would include an affordable
element as part of this senior housing project. Once these issues were solidified,
he advised Council that the City would need to be in a position to evaluate the
developer's project determine how much would be owed and/or what the City
would contribute to the project. He pointed out that if the developer incorporated
the City's property in to the project, the developer would need to provide some type
of compensation to the City in return. He noted that the recommended consulting
firm would assist the City in evaluating the financial aspects of what was eventually
proposed for this project.
Highlighting Page 2, Member Gardiner expressed his desire to make it clear that
there was no pre-agreement by the City approving this consultant agreement to
make this land available or to commit some Redevelopment Agency Housing Set-
Aside Funds to this project.
Member Long concurred with Executive Director Evan's explanation and noted that
that the qualifications expressed by Member Gardiner were included in staff report.
Member Gardiner moved, seconded by Member Stern, to approve the staff
recommendation. There being no objection, Vice-Chairman Wolowicz so ordered.
