Top issues during term (15)(Development)
Heritage Housing Partners affordable homeownership
Finding a place to live could get way more expensive for many.
Summit Grove affordable housing construction defects
Repair shortfalls could run to hundreds of thousands of dollars per building, with homeowners fearing special assessments or loss of their homes.
Senior affordable housing at 280 Ramona Street
$2,756,073 in federal HOME funds; total project cost now estimated at $87.8 million.
Central Library seismic retrofit construction contract
Up to $335,950 from the project budget.
SB 79 Transit-Oriented Housing Delay Ordinance
More housing near transit could grow the property tax base the city says it desperately needs.
SB 9 Urban Lot Splits Repeal in Eaton Fire Zone
Litigation risk avoided; no direct fiscal impact stated.
PUSD employee housing project design review
The project could use public land or district resources to create subsidized housing, while the city weighs added traffic and infrastructure costs.
Restorative justice for 710/210 freeway displacement
The wealth-generation element could total at least $25 million or 1% of redevelopment value, funded from the development itself.
600 N. Rosemead Affordable Housing Project
The project will be financed with up to $60 million in tax-exempt bonds, with no repayment obligation for the city.
TEFRA Bond Financing for Affordable Housing
No cost or obligation to the city; financing is private.
All Saints Church safe parking application
The city has committed about $300,000 in state grant funds to operate the program, but security costs must come from other sources still being identified.
Rental Housing Board vacancy and appointments
Caltech R&D building next to St. Philip's Church and School
A $186-million-scale private development with roughly 2,200 construction jobs and about 200 permanent jobs.
Affordable housing at 434-470 North Lake Avenue
The city already spent $12 million from reserves on the land; the ENA itself commits no construction dollars yet.
