SAN RAMON REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY REQUEST FOR

QUALIFIED DEVELOPERS MIXED USE, AFFORDABLE FAMILY

HOUSING DEVELOPMENT

I. INTRODUCTION

The San Ramon Redevelopment Agency (“Agency”) issues this Request for Qualified

Developers (RFQ) to select a development team to design, finance and build an

affordable family rental or affordable for sale housing mixed-use development on an

Agency owned 1.3 acre site at 2231 and 2239 Omega Road, (APNs-208-451-002 and

208-451-001) (“Site”) (Exhibit A) located in the Crow Canyon Specific Plan (CCSP)

area.

The (CCSP) area is a contiguous area of approximately 130 acres (90+ parcels) located in

an area that combines manufacturing/warehousing, retail and office uses. The project area

is bounded by the San Ramon/Danville city limit line to the north, I-680 to the east, Crow

Canyon Road. to the south, and the San Ramon city limit line and the Northwest Specific

Plan area to the west. The CCSP area is located entirely within the San Ramon

Redevelopment Project Area, established in 1986.

The goal of the CCSP is to create a vision for an area of San Ramon that is currently

underutilized but has potential to develop into an active mixed use neighborhood for the

immediate community. The vision is for a Mixed Use District that provides a destination

and gathering place for the community; offers a diversity of workforce housing

opportunities for San Ramon residents; preserves viable businesses as an integral part of

the district; and provides a compact and pedestrian friendly townscape.

The CCSP plan calls for use of the Redevelopment Agency owned Site at the corner of

Deerwood and Omega Roads for an early-term catalyst project that can initiate

development in the core of the Crow Canyon Neighborhood, demonstrate the

attractiveness of mixed-use development, and provide needed affordable workforce

housing opportunities for area residents. All environmental reports have been completed

for the CCSP. (CCSP and associated environmental documents can be obtained from the

City’s website at http://www.sanramon.ca.gov/ccspec/default.html).

A. Agency Goals and Objectives

The primary goal of the Agency is to work with an experienced development team

(Developer) that will successfully develop a well designed mixed use project. The

Agency seeks to maximize value of the Agency owned 1.3 acre project area for

development of an extremely low, very low, low and moderate income affordable

housing project having a viable mixed use component.

The Agency’s objectives are to assist in the development of affordable multifamily

rental or for sale housing having a mixed use component which will:

3

Provide family housing that is affordable to extremely low, very low, low,

and moderate income households

Take advantage of access to jobs in San Ramon as well as retail and services

Enhance the neighborhood of the proposed project

Maximize the number of affordable housing units at mixed income levels on

the site and the depth of affordability

Provide exceptional property management services

Provide safe, secure housing that does not create any barriers between it and

the neighborhood

Minimize the need for Agency subsidy by leverage of other public and private

funding sources

Expand retail opportunities or services.

The Agency encourages (commercial or mixed use) market rate developers, which may

include a joint venture with an experienced affordable housing developer, to submit a

proposal.

B. The Developer Role

The Agency seeks an experienced and capable developer to carry out the following roles:

Assemble the development team, consisting of the architect, civil and

architectural engineer(s), general contractor, property management firm and

marketing and leasing firm(s) (as appropriate), and others as needed. Key

members of the team may be subject to separate Agency review and approval.

Work in collaboration with Agency and City staff and Agency consultants on

the proposed development program, site layout and design, incorporating

approximately 55 or more units of 1, 2, and 3 bedroom affordable housing units

and other mixed uses as proposed by the Developer.

Work with the community to gain public support for the Development. It is

anticipated that the developer will present their proposal at a series of public

meetings.

Secure all development level review approvals for development of the Site.

Secure financing to construct and operate the Development.

As applicable, provide financial guarantees to construction and permanent

lenders and Agency. Provide net worth, operating deficit and credit adjuster

guarantees to limited partners, as appropriate. The terms and conditions of the

construction and permanent loans for the development will be subject to Agency

approval.

4

Enter into appropriate Affordable Housing Agreements meeting Redevelopment

Law requirements for operation of the affordable housing units for a minimum

55 year period for rental or 45 years for sale.

Operate the property directly or contract with a professional property

management firm. The Agency reserves the right to approve the property

management entity and management plan.

Lease or sell the affordable housing units pursuant to the City’s Preference

System which gives preference to certain employment and household classes.

Certify operation of the property with the City’s Crime Free Multifamily

Housing Program prior to initial occupancy lease up, if applicable.

II. THE SITE

The Crow Canyon Specific Plan (CCSP) 1.3 acre parcel was acquired by the

Redevelopment Agency for purposes of developing an affordable housing project

consistent with Agency goals. The project site is illustrated on Exhibit A and is located

at the corner of Deerwood and Omega Roads. The current zoning for the parcel is Mixed

Use with a minimum density of 22 dwelling units per acre or a 0.40 floor area ratio

(FAR), and a maximum density of 50 dwelling units per acre or a 1.25 FAR. In addition

to multi-family residential and attached single family residential, allowable uses include

retail, park and recreation facilities, eating and drinking establishments, food and

beverage sales, offices, and day care. The Site is anticipated to produce up to 55 units of

housing and the Agency prefers a mixed affordable income site serving household

income ranges from extremely low – moderate incomes as financing sources permit. The

site allows for approximately 13,000 square feet of ground level commercial space and

parking.

The CCSP foresees gradual redevelopment of individual parcels, as well as preservation

and enhancement of existing properties. It envisions the introduction of new housing that

will create a vibrant day and nighttime district that can support a range of neighborhood-

serving shops and restaurants and offer San Ramon residents a greater diversity of

affordable housing choices. It calls for a compact pattern of development that is

comfortable for pedestrians, one that can be efficiently served by transit, and one that is

not wholly dependent upon the automobile. It imagines the area evolving into a vibrant

mixed-use district that, because of its unique environment, will become a natural

gathering place for area residents and workers as well as the surrounding community.

III. CITY DEMOGRAPHICS, CURRENT PROJECTS AND

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Incorporated on July 1, 1983, the City of San Ramon is located on 14 square miles of the

San Ramon Valley approximately 25 miles east of the City of Oakland in the San

Francisco Bay Area. The City of San Ramon is located in southern Contra Costa County,

surrounded by the communities of Danville, and Dublin, as well as the unincorporated

lands in both Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. The City’s location along the

Interstate 680 corridor links it to other parts of the San Ramon Valley and the Tri Valley,

Central Contra Costa County to the north, and Alameda County to the south. This

location, combined with the proximity of the intersection between Interstates 680 and

580, makes San Ramon an integral part of the Bay Area economy. The San Ramon

Valley has long been considered one of the most desirable living areas in the Bay Area

because of its scenic beauty, good climate, excellent schools and parks, and proximity to

the Bay Area's major employment centers.

San Ramon is governed by a City Council/City Manager form of government and has an

elected Mayor. The City's population is approximately 59,002 with an expected build-

out population of approximately 90,000. There are approximately 17,219 single family

residences and 6,340 multi-family housing units with an average 2.59 persons per

households.

The City is a major regional employment center. Bishop Ranch is home to over 200

companies, including Global 500 companies such as Chevron, Toyota, IBM and,

AT&T. Over 27,000 office workers commute daily to the employment center, and

16,000 jobs are expected to be added over the next 15 years.

Northwest Specific Plan

To the west, the Northwest Specific Plan (NWSP) area borders the Crow Canyon

Specific Plan Area where the catalyst project site is located. The Northwest Specific Plan

is approximately 354-acres, and is served by Crow Canyon Road, Deerwood Road, and

Purdue Road; as well as Bollinger Canyon Road, which bisects the Plan Area in a north-

south direction.

This NWSP provides the vision for creating a balanced community composed of public

facilities, open space, and residential neighborhoods within an overall 354 acres.

Northwest Specific Plan Area (Plan Area). The Plan provides guidance for the creation of

distinctive residential neighborhoods emphasizing affordable housing opportunities (28%

of the units are affordable- all multi-family and senior rentals) accommodation of

important public facilities, and preservation of open space amenities. The Plan integrates

open space, public trails, and a riparian corridor with the development of a community

park, a house of worship, an educational facility site, and five residential neighborhoods

with densities ranging from 1.5 units per acre, to just over 40 units per acre. Overall, the

Plan furthers a wide range of General Plan policies, including preserving at least 75% of

6

the site area for public amenities and open space. The project is anticipated to commence

construction in 2010 with related land uses annexed into the City following completion.

City Center Project

The City of San Ramon is negotiating a partnership with Sunset Development on

development of the City Center Project. The project is located on 40+ acres at the

intersection of Bollinger Canyon Road and Camino Ramon. The site consists of four

properties; the four properties are an 11.5 acre site just west of Central Park, a combined

9 acre site south of Bollinger and east of Camino Ramon, a 3.5 acre site just east of

Chevron, to Camino Ramon, and the existing 14 acre Bishop Ranch 2 office complex.

The project consists of three primary components: a major mixed use development on the

14 acre and 11.5 acre sites consisting of approximately 635,000 square feet of high

quality retail, 50,000 square feet of second floor retail or office space, a 169 room upscale

hotel, and approximately 487 residential units of which approximately 70 are targeted as

for sale affordable to moderate income households. City Administrative Offices, Library

and Transit Center on the 3.5 acres, and a 580,000 square foot Class A office complex on

the 9 acre site. The project is scheduled to be completed in the year 2012.

Dougherty Valley Development

Dougherty Valley entails 5,979 acres of land east of the City of San Ramon and within

Contra Costa County. It addresses the creation of a variety of housing types in close

proximity to jobs and enhances environmental quality through the creation of regional

open space and multiple internal recreational linkages. The development pattern includes

clusters of homes supported by retail and community services and conserves surrounding

hillsides and ridges on the site as permanent open space. The Dougherty Valley Specific

Plan was originally approved in 1992 by the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors

to include up to 11,000 units of housing of which 25% are affordable. Approximately

58% of the housing has completed construction. The affordable component is

predominantly multi-family rental. Rolling annexations of the completed housing takes

place on an annual basis into San Ramon. Build out of the nine construction phases is

anticipated to be competed in 2015. The City partnered with the San Ramon Unified

School System and constructed an aquatic facility as well as a performing arts center at

the Dougherty Valley High School.

Valley Vista Senior Affordable Housing Project

Through a collaborative City, County, Federal, and Non-Profit Housing effort, the Valley

Vista Senior development in San Ramon will provide 105 units of housing affordable to

very low and low income area seniors. The project will be located next to Church on the

Hill off San Ramon Valley Boulevard.

The City of San Ramon Redevelopment Agency (RDA) and Contra Costa County

partnered in this endeavor to provide funds to American Baptist Homes of the West

(ABHOW) and Satellite Housing for site acquisition, infrastructure improvements, and

certain predevelopment costs. The San Ramon RDA has allocated a total of $5.5 million

and Contra Costa County $2.0 million. In addition, the Valley Vista Senior Project has

7

the distinction of having received the largest single Federal award of $13.8 million of

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Section 202 funds last year - the

largest award in the nation for a senior housing project. The project is expected to begin

construction in the spring of 2009 and is anticipated to complete construction in the fall

of 2010.

Median Home Prices

The March 2008 median home price in San Ramon was $808,000 for a single family

detached home. There were 36 home sales of single family detached homes in San

Ramon, the highest priced home sold was for $1,487,500, the lowest priced home sold

was for $430,000. The average selling price of detached single family homes for March

2008 in San Ramon was $832,734.

Market Rate Apartment Rents

1 Bedroom $1,175 - $1,575

2 Bedrooms $1,390 - $2,080

3 Bedrooms $2,350 - $2,425

Market rents have steadily been increasing and vacancy rates also decreasing somewhat

due to the loss of area rental units to condo conversions.

IV. 2009-2014 HOUSING ELEMENT AND MEDIAN INCOME

BREAKDOWN

The City of San Ramon’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) that the City

must plan to accommodate in the upcoming Housing Element Cycle are as follows:
