DESCRIPTION:
Revie d y:
Assistant City anager
Arroyo Vista is a public housing development on approximately 22.9 acres of land located at
6700 Dougherty Road in the City of Dublin and owned by the Housing Authority of the, City of
Dublin. On July 25, 2007, the City of Dublin, the Dublin Housing Authority (DHA), the Alameda
County Housing Authority (HACA), Eden Housing and SCS Development Company (doing
business as Citation) entered into a Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) for the
purpose of creating a new mixed income development on the site. In October of that same year
the parties were sued by four Arroyo Vista tenants, represented by the Public Interest Law
Project and Bay Area Legal Aid, to set aside the DDA.
Page 1 of 2 ITEM NO. ~
On May 22, 2009, the Department of Hou'sing and Urban Development (HUD) approved the
Dublin Housing Authority's Disposition Application and the plaintiffs' counsel proposed
negotiations to settle the lawsuit: Negotiations were conducted over several months and
approved by all parties to the DDA and ultimately HUD. On December 17, 2009, the settlement
was approved by the court and the case was dismissed.
In January, 2010, the DDA was amended by the City of Dublin and the other parties to the
Agreement to comply with HUD approval conditions, including affordability provisions and
restrictions on the use of the land sale proceeds.
On March 1, 2011, HACA, pursuant to the DDA, transferred the Arroyo Vista Property to Eden
Housing, Inc. and Citation. The portion of the property (approximately half) purchased by
Citation is intended to be developed with 198 for-sale homes, 14 of which would be sold at
below-market prices to moderate-income households. Eden intends to develop the other half of
the property with 180 units of affordable housing (50 for seniors and 130 for families).
Citation and Eden have submitted a request to transfer responsibility for completion of Citation's
portion of the project to KB Home. Citation indicates that it is no longer positioned in the market
to construct new homes and, following a thorough investigation of possible replacements,
identified KB Home as the most appropriate. KB Home was chosen due to its strong
relationship with Eden Housing. KB Home was founded in 1957 and has delivered over
500,000 homes since then. It was the first homebuilder to be listed on the New York Stock
Exchange and was named to Fortune magazine's 2010 list of the "World's Most Admired
Companies" and ranked #1 for "Innovation" among homebuilders. Locally, KB Home is based in
Pleasanton and is the largest Bay Area homebuilder by volume. KB Home currently has two
other projects underway in Dublin totaling 84 units.
Section 19.8 of the Arroyo Vista Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) entered into
by HACA, DHA, the City of Dublin, Eden and Citation provides for transfers such as the one
proposed with the consent of DHA and the City of Dublin. Attached to the proposed resolution
(Attachment 1) is an Assignment and Assumption of Disposition and Development Agreement,
and Settlement Agreement (Exhibit A to the Resolution). In the Assignment, Citation assigns all
of its rights, title and interest in the DDA and the Settlement Agreement to KB Home. KB Home
accepts the assignment, and agrees and undertakes to be bound by, observe and perform all of
the obligations, covenants, and agreements of Citation pursuant to the DDA and the Settlement
Agreement. The Assignment must be signed by Citation and KB Home; and consented to by
Eden, HACA and the City of Dublin. HACA approved the agreement on March 8.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
Not Applicable.

Assumption of Disposition and Development Agreement and
Settlement Agreement for the Arroyo Vista Market-Rate-For-
Sale Housing Project (Agreement included as Exhibit A).
