2010: The Task Force submitted preliminary predevelopment report. 2011: the City Council approved the purchase of 4138 Vineyard Avenue. The site included a single - family residence, which would be removed and the property used as part of this project. 2012: The City entered into a relationship with MidPen Housing to direct this project and work with the City on various aspects of the project. Following a number of community -based meetings, the Task Force presented the City Council with a Predevelopment Analysis Report that looked at a whole range of things including the potential for trying to rehabilitate the project and various types of development opportunities. The Task Force membership was expanded to include a City Councilmember and additional neighborhood representation. This basically led to the project that the Commission will be reviewing this evening. 2012: The City Council adopted the Predevelopment Analysis Report and took action to commit $8 Million towards the project from the City's Low - Income Housing Fund. It authorized MidPen Housing staff to work through a specific project site and development plan that it would bring back to the City Council. It also directed staff tc work to prepare legal agreements: a Disposition and Development Agreement/ Predevelopment Loan Agreement (DDA) between the City and MidPen Housing and a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City and Pleasanton Gardens. November 2013: The City Council approved the site plan and the development plan, the DDA with MidPen Housing and the MOU with Pleasanton Gardens; increased its financial support to $10 Million; and authorized MidPen Housing to begin the PUD process and to begin the HUD Demolition and Disposition application process, which is basically getting HUD approval to move on with the project to actually remove the existing assets. 2013: The Pleasanton Gardens Board approved the MOU, which would deed its improvements and its financial resources to the City for one dollar for the purpose of this new development. Additionally, financially, Pleasanton Gardens has some Section 8 entitlements which would be transferred over to the new development as well. February 2014: The Housing Commission recommended approval of the PUD and Development Plan. Mr. Bocian then proceeded to the next big steps: The next major step is the PUD approval by both the Planning Commission and the City Council.
