AI Contract Overview
The City of San Diego has approved a $3.1 million Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) loan to Navajo Road Housing Associates, L.P. to support the acquisition and development of the Navajo Family Apartments, a new affordable housing project located at 7005 Navajo Road in the San Carlos Neighborhood. The project will replace a vacant one-story commercial building with a four-story, Type V construction residential building containing 44 affordable units—21 one-bedroom, 11 two-bedroom, and 12 three-bedroom apartments—plus one unrestricted two-bedroom manager unit and 58 covered parking spaces. A separate two-story community building will provide a multi-purpose room, kitchen, laundry facilities, and storage. The development will maintain affordability for 55 years with all units targeted at or below 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI), and 11 units are specifically reserved for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities. The loan proceeds will be used exclusively for property acquisition, with CDBG funds being expended during the spring of 2025 following the project’s March 2025 application for low-income housing tax credits. The project site is situated within a Highest Resource Area, less than one-quarter mile from a transit stop, and surrounded by essential amenities including grocery stores, pharmacies, schools, parks, and retail. Sustainable design is a core component, with construction required to meet or exceed a GreenPoint rating or its substantial equivalent and comply with California state energy-efficiency standards. Features include all-electric systems, Energy Star-rated appliances, dual-pane windows, high-efficiency lighting, low-flow plumbing fixtures, and drought-tolerant native landscaping. The project qualifies for a CEQA categorical exemption under Section 15332 as an infill development consistent with the City’s General Plan and zoning, and has been certified to have no significant environmental impacts on traffic, noise, air quality, or water resources. Stormwater compliance is governed by a certified SWPPP, and air quality adherence is confirmed under SDAPCD screening protocols. While the City of San Diego serves as the lead agency for programmatic oversight and environmental compliance, no formal contracting officer roles, detailed payment terms, invoicing procedures, or FAR clauses were specified in the documentation, reflecting the nature of this transaction as a grant-funded loan agreement rather than a traditional procurement contract.
