620 East Valley Parkway Affordable Housing Project Ground Lease and Amendment to Disposition and Development Agreement

The project involves authorization to execute a 99-year ground lease to allow for phased construction of a 100 percent affordable senior residential development and to amend an existing Disposition and Development Agreement to allow for the childcare facility to be replaced with additional robust communal amenity spaces tailored to senior resident population. The project consists of the construction of two buildings with 136 dwelling units for seniors, an approximately 5,100 square foot (SF) communal amenity spaces tailored to senior resident population, and linear park on County-owned property. Each building would be five stories and up to 67 feet in height. Building 1 would total approximately 72,000 square feet (SF) of floor area and Building 2 would total approximately 36,000 SF. Building 1 would front East Valley Parkway and the first level would primarily include accessory spaces, including a lobby, bicycle parking, offices, a common space, and laundry room. Eight studio units would be located on first floor of Building 1, and 17 one-bedroom and 3 two-bedroom units would be located on each of floors two through five. Building 2 would be located along North Fig Street and would include the communal amenity spaces and a laundry room. Floors two through five of Building 2 would each include 7 studio units and 5 one-bedroom units. A drive aisle accessible from North Fig Street would bisect the site between the two buildings and provide access to approximately 78 parking spaces along the drive aisle and to the north along the Esperanza Crisis Center site. The project would meet and exceed the requirements of the 2022 California Energy Code and is anticipated to achieve a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) designation of Silver. The buildings would include solar façades in addition to rooftop photovoltaic systems and would be all-electric buildings. Off-site improvements included as part of the project include sidewalk improvements and utility connections to existing public mains. A series of 2-inch water service connections and additional fire water and irrigation connections to the existing 12-inch water main in East Valley Parkway and 6-inch main in North Fig Street would be constructed. Sewer connections to an existing 10-inch main in North Grape Street would be constructed via 6-inch laterals from the buildings feeding into an 8-inch lateral through the project drive aisle. Two existing outfalls at the northern edge of the site would be used for stormwater runoff, with best management practices (BMPs) to be implemented throughout the site in accordance with a Stormwater Quality Management Plan (SWQMP). Existing overhead electrical lines at the eastern edge of the project site would be undergrounded at the site.
