Depending on location, it is estimated that it would cost between eight and eleven million
dollars, in today's dollars, to replace the 150 low income units. This estimate is for market
rate construction. It is assumed that it would be necessary to subsidize the replacement
affordable units as the City has done to achieve affordable rent levels. The City currently
subsidizes affordable units at an approximate rate or $13,300 per unit resulting in a subsidy
cost of $1,995,000 for all 150 units.
' g?�t rtlitu%h attli #�lr��tt The cost to preserve the 50 units
at Newport 1Vorth> A cafrer for �dx 30 years, the approximate
remaining economic life of the structure, is estimated at 1.67 million dollars. Caring
Incorporated, the Lutheran Church managing entity of Seaview Lutheran Plaza, indicated
that they J" have no intention of converting the 100 low income units to a non -low
income use.
Currently, there is only $42,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds
available for the preservation of low income units. The City of Newport Beach does not
�J
have a Redevelopment agency, therefore, the City does not have direct control of any set
aside funds. The Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA) operating reserve funds are
currently being allocated for development loans for the provisions of new affordable
housing. The City does not have the financial capacity to replace or preserve the low
income units from its own financial resources.
Presently, the only organization known to the City that is a public or private nonprofit
corporation with legal and managerial capacity to acquire and manage housing units is the
Orange County Community Housing Corporation.
