The MCC program in Pleasanton is coordinated through Alameda County, <br />and the City pays an annual administrative fee to the County to cover program <br />administration. Starting in FY 2003, the City prioritized its MCC allocation for buyers of <br />56 below-market priced homes on the Bernal property (Walnut [[ills, Canyon Oaks, and <br />Carlton Oaks). "fhis program involved a cooperative agreement with Alameda County in <br />which the City was able to borrow against its future MCC allocations in order to make <br />additional MCC's available to buyers of the Bernal homes. Through an agreement <br />between the City and the builders, KB E[ome and Greenbrier I{omes Communities, the 56 <br />duet homes (1,300 sq. ft., 3 bedrooms/2 baths) were sold at a cost of $199,000 to low <br />income buyers (80% of AMI). The City made available up to $20,000 in individual <br />second mortgage loans to each buyer on a need basis. Buyers were responsible for <br />obtaining the primary mortgage financing. The first homes were occupied in July 2002, <br />and occupancy of the final units occurred in mid-2005. [n 2007, the City approved an <br />Affordable Housing Plan with Silverstone Communities for a new condominium project <br />which yielded l2 new affordable rmits (5 low-income, 2moderate-income, and 5 <br />"affordable by design"). The last of these new homes was occupied in mid-2008. <br />Similarly, an agreement was reached in 2006 with [,yon Property Management which will <br />potentially yield 35 below-market priced condominiums in the Stoneridge Apartments <br />project when the owner moves forward with sale of the condo units. <br />Multi-Family Housing Program <br />T,ocal jurisdictions can apply to the State For the purpose of funding affordable multi- <br />family housing developments. <br />Opportunity Zone Inter-regional Partnership <br />The County has two inter-regional partnership-designated jobs/housing balance <br />opportunity zones: one is a project involving Dublin BAR"f station and one for a project <br />at San Lorenzo Village.
