Prepared By: Steven Orozco, Planning Technician
SUBJECT: TAX AND EQUITY FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY ACT (TEFRA) HEARING
REGARDING THE HOUSING AUTHORITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO
ISSUANCE OF A TAX-EXEMPT DEBT OBLIGATION TO FINANCE THE
REHABILITATION BOND OF 55 AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS AT 1092
ORCUTT ROAD, 1102 IRONBARK, AND 1363 PISMO STREET
RECOMMENDATION
1. Conduct a public hearing under the Tax and Equity Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) of
1982 pursuant to the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986; and
2. Adopt a resolution (Attachment A) allowing the issuance of a tax -exempt loan by the
Housing Authority of the City of San Luis Obispo to acquire and rehabilitate Laurel Creek
Apartments, Ironbark Apartments, and Pismo Buchon Apartments.
DISCUSSION
Previous Council Approval & New TEFRA Request
On May 2, 2017, the City Council held a public hearing regarding the proposed issuance by the
Housing Authority of San Luis Obispo (HASLO) of $5,600,000 of bonds to finance costs of the
acquisition and rehabilitation of the Housing Facilities and, following the public hearing,
approved the issuance of those bonds by the Authority (Attachment B). However, the costs of the
rehabilitation of the Housing Facilities have unexpectedly increased, and HASLO now proposes
to issue the Bonds to provide additional financing for such costs.
The Housing Authority of the City of San Luis Obispo (HASLO) is requesting that the Council
hold a public hearing regarding the issuance of a second tax-exempt loan in the amount of
$900,000 to acquire and rehabilitate the 55 units of affordable housing. Although there is no
financial participation (or liability, direct or indirect) by the City in approving the issuance of this
“conduit” financing, Council conduct of a public hearing and approval of the reissuance is
required under federal regulations for tax-exempt financing.
Background
HASLO was the original developer for Laurel Creek Apartments, Ironbark Apartments, and
Pismo Buchon Apartments. The primary funding source for each of these projects was the low-
income housing tax credits awarded by the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC).
California statue does not allow Housing Authorities to be a party in these partnerships, so the
Housing Authority transferred its interest to San Luis Obispo Non-profit Housing Corporation
(SLONP). SLONP serves as the sole Managing General Partner. The partnerships have a 15-year
compliance period over which the tax credits are earned. After 15 years, the limited partner has
the option to seek a buyer for its interest.
Packet Pg 203

Laurel Creek Apartments, Ironbark Apartments, and Pismo Buchon Apartments have all passed
the 15-year compliance period, and the limited partner, WNC & Associates, wishes to dissolve
the partnership and sell its interest in the properties. All the properties have capital improvement
needs of approximately $1,820,000 that must be addressed in the near future. HASLO closed
escrow earlier in June 2017 to purchase the partnership interests in Laurel Creek Apartments,
Ironbark Apartments, and Pismo Buchon Apartments; and will now work with SLONP to form a
new partnership.
Project Summary
1. HASLO successfully obtained Low Income Housing Tax Credits in the Summer of 2016 to
move forward with the project.
2. Laurel Creek Apartments is a 24-unit affordable rental apartment complex located at 1092
Orcutt Road. Laurel Creek Apartments was placed into service in June 1994 as is in need for
approximately $1,200,000 in capital improvements.
3. Ironbark Apartments, located at 1102 Ironbark, has 20 affordable rental units and was placed
into service in November 1995. Approximately $20,000 per unit in capital improvements is
needed for the site, for a total of $400,000.
4. Pismo Buchon Apartments are located at 1363 Pismo Street. The affordable housing complex
has 11 rental units and was placed into service in 2000. Approximately $220,000 is needed in
capital improvements for this complex.
4. The issuance of the Bond requires that the Council conduct a public hearing regarding the
financing of the Project under the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982
(“TEFRA”), and pursuant to the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The
TEFRA public hearing allows Council to adopt a resolution approving the issuance by the
Authority of the Bonds, in order to maintain purchase and rehabilitate the three affordable
housing facilities.
No City Liability for the Financing
There is no City liability in approving the issuance of conduit financing. The bonds are payable
solely from the payments by the Borrower on a loan made to it (the “Borrower Loan”) by the
Authority from the proceeds of the Bonds. The rental payments by tenants in the Project are the
source of revenue used by the Borrower to repay the Borrower Loan. The City has no financial,
legal, or other obligation, liability or responsibility for the Project or for the repayment of the
Bonds or the repayment of the Borrower Loan. The documents for the Bonds clearly provide that
the Bonds are payable solely from payments on the Borrower Loan made by the Borrower.
Outside of holding this hearing and adopting the required resolution, no other participation or
activity of the City with respect to the bonds will be required.
City’s Conduit Financing Policy
While the Council is not obligated to approve this request, it would be consistent with past City
actions regarding the Project. Under the City’s debt financing and management policies,
consideration of a request for conduit financing is generally a two-step process:
Packet Pg 204
14
1. First asking the Council if they are interested in considering the request and establishing
the ground rules for evaluating it.
2. And then returning with the results of this evaluation and recommending approval of
appropriate financing documents if warranted.
Given the Council’s prior approval for this TEFRA hearing in May 2017, and past successful
approval to conduit financing to HASLO, staff recommends that the Council find HASLO
capable for achieving the public purpose of maintaining and providing affordable housing
financed partially through tax exempt bonds.
City’s Past Experience with Conduit Housing Bonds
The City has approved thirteen “conduit” housing bond issues in the past as reflected in the
following summary. There have been no financial difficulties with any of these bond issues.
1. 1985. 168-unit apartment development on Southwood Drive (refinanced in 1993).
2. 1998. 30-unit development (all affordable for seniors and persons with disabilities) on
Brizzolara Street.
3. 1999. 122-unit apartment development by the De Vaul Ranch Company, of which 26 units
will be affordable: 24 for “very-low” and 2 for “moderate” income households.
4. 2002. 19-unit senior apartment development at 433 Pacific Street (Pacific and Carmel).
5. 2005. 40 affordable one-bedroom units for seniors as well as one manager’s unit in an
existing historic single-family residence at 2005 Johnson Avenue (“Del Rio Terrace”).
6. 2009 and 2011. 8-unit housing project at 1468 East Foothill Boulevard for the University
Board of the Santa Barbara Presbytery.
7. 2012. 120-unit apartment project affordable to low and very-low income households located
at 1550 Madonna Road.
8. 2013. 19-unit apartment project affordable rental apartment facility for seniors located at
433 Pacific (“Carmel Street Apartments”).
9. 2013. 40-unit affordable rental apartment facility for seniors located at 2005 Johnson
Avenue (“Del Rio Terrace”).
10. 2016. Rehabilitation of 55 affordable rental units located at 1092 Orcutt Road, 1102
Ironbark, and 1363 Pismo Street.
11. 2016. 46-unit affordable apartment development at 3680 Broad Street (“Iron Works”).
Packet Pg 205
14
12. 2017. Renewal of the rehabilitation of 55 affordable rental units located at 1092 Orcutt
Road, 1102 Ironbark, and 1363 Pismo Street.
13. 2017. Renewal of a 46-unit affordable apartment development at 3680 Broad Street (“Iron
Works”).
Next Steps
After the TEFRA public hearing and adoption of the Resolution of the Council approving the
issuance of Bonds, HASLO will begin rehabilitation work on the units. There will be no further
actions required by the City.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The project is exempt from environmental review per Section 15061(b)(3) of the California
Environmental Quality Act Guidelines because action is in regards to financing a future
affordable housing project which will be subject to environmental review. The activity in
question will not have a significant impact on the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
There are no fiscal impacts to the City associated with this matter. As noted above, the City has
no liability, directly or indirectly, for the financing.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Do not approve the issuance of bonds by the Authority. Given that the Council had
approved a TEFRA hearing in May 2017, and that HASLO has closed escrow, t his hearing is
crucial in making sure this project moves forward, this option is not recommended.
2. Defer consideration of the request. Due to the critical need for tax exempt bond financing
to rehabilitate these units, this option is not recommended.
