Commission approves Sunnydale Phase 1B/1C infrastructure agreements and subdivision map

The Housing Authority approved a package of documents to enable infrastructure improvements for Sunnydale Phase 1B/1C and accepted related changes for Phase 1A-3. Diane Jackson McLean, outside counsel, summarized the conveyance and HUD-required documents (short-term infrastructure ground lease, HUD use agreements, partial release of declarations of trust, subordination agreements and a construction license for connector streets). Mercy Housing's Claire Murphy presented the project status and community elements.

Murphy described recently completed and in-progress work across the Sunnydale master plan, including buildings opened in earlier phases and the new Hub community center. She said Phase 3 infrastructure will rebuild streets and utilities, create new street alignment (including a temporary West Access Road), and prepare Blocks 7 and 9 for affordable buildings. Murphy said Block 7 will include 89 affordable homes with 67 planned project-based vouchers and Block 9 will include 71 affordable homes with 71 project-based vouchers.

The package also included documents for Phase 1A-3 acceptance and finalization of public-right-of-way work. The commission moved, seconded and approved the resolution authorizing staff to execute the listed documents; roll call vote recorded Commissioners Pikes, Kim, Lindo and President Torres voting 'Aye.'
