- Negotiate and execute an Exclusive Negotiation Agreement (ENA) with The Related Companies of California and A Community of Friends and/or its to be formed Limited Partnership, for the City-owned properties located at 1140-1152 North Glendale Boulevard and 1140-1155 North Lemoyne Street, for a term of one year from the execution date, in substantial conformance to the sample ENA attached to the subject City Administrative Officer (CAO) report, dated June 17, 2021, attached to the Council file, subject to the approval of the City Attorney as to form, and compliance with all City contracting requirements.

Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO reports that there is no impact to the General Fund as a result of executing an ENA for the development of affordable housing at the City-owned properties at 1140-1152 North Glendale Boulevard and 1140-1155 North Lemoyne Street (Project). Potential Project funding sources include State tax-exempt bonds, State tax credits, and private financing, among others. There is no additional cost to the City, and no funding commitments are being made at this time. There is a potential impact to the General Fund as a result of the proposed lack of replacement parking for the Project. The Special Parking Revenue Fund (SPRF), which collects parking revenue from the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT)-owned parking facilities and lots, transfers its annual surplus to the General Fund. Under the current proposal, SPRF may experience an annual potential revenue loss of up to $18,759. It should be noted that the potential revenue loss was calculated by LADOT at pre-COVID conditions.
