OUTCOME
Approval of the proposed actions will lead to the development of needed market
rate housing on the North San Pedro Housing Project site.
BACKGROUND
On December 4,2003, the Agency issued a Request for Proposals (WP) for the
North San Pedro Housing Site. On January 30,2004, staff received proposals
from three development teams. The development team of Barry Swenson Builder
and The Olson Company was recommended for selection. In August 2005, the
Redevelopment Agency Board approved an Exclusive Negotiations Agreement.

The project was then delayed by several factors; first, the site was identified as a
potential location for a baseball park or as an exchange site for another ballpark
location. Next, the site was analyzed for possible location of a new downtown
music hall. Thereafter, site planning with the selected developers was delayed
while an RFP was issued for a supermarket on a portion of the site. Lastly,
environmental investigations and negotiations with CalTrans regarding the
condition of its property, which completed the site assembly, took longer than
expected.
On June 19,2007, the Redevelopment Agency Board approved two DDAs with
Barry Swenson Builder and The Olson Company. Each DDA has a schedule of
performance with specific timeframes for completion of development tasks. In
December 2007, Olson notified the Agency of their inability to proceed with the
project at the contract land price. Agency staff met with Olson to see if anything
could be done within the terms of the DDA to assist Olson in commencing with
the project. Since it was evident that Olson was not willing to perform, the
Agency issued a default notice. After further discussions between Agency staff
and Olson, Olson decided that their best option to cure the default was to assign
the DDA to Intracorp. Since then, staff has met with Intracorp to review the
project and negotiate modifications to the DDA.
Intracorp is five independent regional companies including four West Coast real
estate development companies based in Seattle, San Francisco, Southern
California and San Diego. The fifth company, Intracorp Capital, is headquartered
in Seattle and functions as a private investment firm that acquires or recapitalizes
profitable, private companies. Intracorp Companies and its component limited
liability companies are privately held and well known for their entrepreneurial
organization and quality development, such as their current San Francisco
projects: Arterra and Hayes.
ANALYSIS
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Olson's plan was to construct 136 stacked townhouse units on 3.69 acres, at a
density of 37 dwelling units per acre. Intracorp's plan is to construct 124
townhouses units on 3.43 acres. Intracorp's plan maintains the same density as
Olson's plan. Intracorp will also build the townhouses in phases. Each phase will
be approximately 20 to 45 units, slightly less than the 25 to 45 units that Olson
proposed. It is anticipated that there will still be four phases depending on market
conditions and absorption. The conditions of closing future phases still include
the close of escrow of 50% of the units in the previous phase and approval of
OlsodSwenson DDA actions
Redevelopment Agency Board Page 4
NSP ASSIGNMENT AND AMENDMENT October 14.2008
entitlements for that phase. The DDA provides the developer flexibility in the
order of the phases and the number of units in each phase, as long as it is within
the unit range allowed.
Swenson was in compliance with its schedule of performance when Olson entered
into default on the project. The Agency's discussion with Intracorp and the
financial market troubles have now delayed their project. Swenson proposed to
build three high-rise residential towers comprising at least 125 units per tower,
totaling no less than 375 units. The developer is now planning approximately 160
units in each tower. The first amendment would give Swenson the flexibility to
make the first tower either a rental or for-sale project. The site for the first tower
has increased in size by approximately 13,500 square feet to accommodate the
parking requirements for the tower. Swenson is negotiating a private financing
structure to proceed with the first tower as an apartment project. The Phase I1
tower, south of Julian Street, will commence construction upon the sooner of the
close of escrow, the lease of 75% of the units in the first tower, or Swenson
obtaining construction financing for the second tower, subject to substantial
completion of the Julian street realignment. The Phase I11 Swenson tower and
Phase IV low-rise 17 unit development will take place after the completion of
Phase I1 with the same conditions as applicable to Phases I and 11. Swenson can
also change the order of the phases of the project.
As originally set in the DDAs, Swenson and Intracorp will each have obligations
for street and other infrastructure improvements north of Julian Street and the
Agency will be responsible for street improvements, including restoring the grid
pattern, from Julian Street south to West Saint James Street. The Agency has
worked with the Departments of Transportation and Public Works to develop a
design to convert West Saint James Street to a two-way thoroughfare. This will
improve access to the northern portion of the Downtown Core and minimize
through traffic in the neighborhood to be built on the site.
The Developers are also obligated to design and build a new park north of Julian
Street with the first phases of the project and to expand Pellier Park in the final
phases of the project. In the event that one of the developers is unable to perform
on the first phases, the Agency will advance funds required to complete the new
park and be reimbursed when additional park fees are generated in subsequent
phases. As was originally negotiated in the DDAs, the developers will also
maintain the park for three years.

PURCHASE PRICE:
The total purchase price of approximately $3 1 million being paid to the Agency by
the two developers has been maintained by allowing flexibility in phasing and land
value adjustments. Swenson will pay the Agency on a per-phase basis in
accordance with the Schedule of Performance in the DDA. Swenson's first phase
purchase price has increased from $5,000,000 to $5,840,000 because the size of
the first tower footprint increased when the developer elected to pursue an
apartment rental tower. Swenson's purchase price for the subsequent phases has
not changed. The acquisition prices of the subsequent phases are as follows:
Phase I1 - $5,500,000; Phase 111 - $6,000,000; Phase IV - $1,260,000.
The Olson purchase price was set at $91,000 per unit. The Intracorp proposal is
based on paying $75.45 per square foot of land for each phase in accordance with
the Schedule of Performance. This amount is approximately the same per square
foot value as the Olson obligation. This change allows for the developer to have a
set price per phase even though the unit count might fluctuate per phase. The land
value was previously escalated at 3% per year after the first phase. The first
amendment provides for an annual price adjustment of 3% up or down based on a
common residential real estate value index. These minor modifications were made
to encourage the progressive development of future phases even if market
conditions remain challenging. The Intracorp purchase price for the property by
Phase, as currently planned, is as follows: Phase I, 21 units at $2,023,392; Phase
II,25 units at $2,743,583; Phase III,42 units at $3,875,311; and Phase IV, 36 units
at $2,846,467.
SCHEDULE:
It is anticipated that construction of the first phases will begin early in 2010 and
the build out will extend over an approximately four-year period.
33433 ANALYSIS:
The attached Summary Reports, pursuant to Section 33433 of the California
Redevelopment Law, was prepared by Keyser Marston Associates. These reports,
along with a copy of the proposed DDA, were made available for inspection as
required by California Redevelopment Law on October 14,2008. The Summary
33433 Reports summarize the key terms of the proposed DDA, the cost of the
agreement to the Agency, the fair reuse value, and conformance with the Agency's
Five Year Implementation Plan. Based on the analyses provided in the Summary

Reports, the consideration to be received by the Agency is not less than the fair
market value at its highest and best use with the covenants and conditions imposed
under the DDA.
EVALUATION AND FOLLOW-UP
The Agency will be bidding the Julian Realignment project next year and will
update the Board on the status of the project at that time.
PUBLIC OUTREACHIINTEREST

A CALIFORNIA LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY
I. INTRODUCTION
The California Health and Safety Code, Section 33433, requires that if a redevelopment agency
wishes to sell or lease property to which it holds title and if that property was acquired in whole
or in part with property tax increment funds, the agency must first secure approval of the
proposed sale or lease agreement from its local legislative body after a public hearing. A copy of
the proposed sale or lease agreement and a summary report that describes and contains
specific financing elements of the proposed transaction will be available for public inspection
prior to the public hearing. As contained in the Code, the following information will be included in
the summary report:
1. The cost of the agreement to the redevelopment agency, including land acquisition
costs, clearance costs, relocation costs, the costs of any improvements to be provided
by the agency, plus the expected interest on any loans or bonds to finance the
agreement;
2. The estimated value of the interest to be conveyed, determined at the highest and best
use permitted under the redevelopment plan;
3. The estimated value of the interest to be conveyed in accordance with the uses,
covenants, and development costs required under the proposed agreement with the
Agency, i.e., the reuse value of the site;
4. An explanation of why the sale of the site will assist in the elimination of blight, as
required by Section 33433; and
5. If the sale price is less than the fair market value of the interest to be conveyed,
determined at the highest and best use consistent with the redevelopment plan, then

the agency will provide as part of the summary an explanation of the reasons for the
difference.
This report outlines the salient parts of the proposed Amended and Restated Disposition and
Development Agreement ("Amended and Restated Agreement") by and between the City of San
Jose Redevelopment Agency ("Agency") and ISF Acquisitions, LLC, a California limited liability
company ("Developer") for the development of a stacked townhouse or condominium residential
project on the North San Pedro Housing Site in downtown San Jose. As background to this
report, the Agency and the Developer's predecessor, Olson Urban Housing, LLC (Original
Developer) had entered into a Disposition and Development Agreement (Original DDA) for
redevelopment of the North San Pedro Housing Site in June, 2007. Thereafter, the Original
Developer, with the approval of the Agency, assigned all its rights under the Original DDA to ISF
Acquisitions. Based on the above, the purpose of this analysis is to determine the cost of the
Amended and Restated Agreement to the Agency.
This report is based upon information in the proposed Amended and Restated Agreement and
is organized into the following six sections:
1. Summary o f the Proposed Amended and Restated Agreement - This section
includes a description of the site, the proposed development and the major
responsibilities of the Agency and the Developer.
2. Cost of the Amended and Restated Agreement t o the Agency - This section
outlines the cost of the Amended and Restated Agreement to the Agency for costs
the
associated w~th Amended and Restated Agreement between the Developer and
the Agency.
3. Estimated Value of the Interest t o be Conveyed -This section summarizes the
value of the interests to be conveyed to the Developer.
4. Consideration Received and Reasons Therefore - This section describes the
consideration to be paid by the Developer to the Agency. It also contains a comparison
of the consideration and the fair market value at the highest and best use consistent
with the redevelopment plan for the interests conveyed.
5. Elimination of Blight - This section includes an explanation of why the sale of the site
will assist in the elimination of blight and the supporting facts and materials.
6. Conformance with Five-Year lmplementation Plan -This section describes how the
Amended and Restated Agreement is in conformance with the Agency's Five-Year
lmplementation Plan.

II. SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSED AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT
A. Description of the Site and Project
Site
The site is an approximately 149,565 sq.ft. (3.43 acre) infill redevelopment site in the northwest
auadrant of downtown San Jose. This Agency-owned site consists of four (4) individual sites
- .
(collectively, the "Sites" and individually, "Site") generally known as the Phase One Site, the
Phase Two Site, the Phase Three Site, and the Phase Four Site. The Sites are part of a larger,
approximately 9 acre site commonly referred to as the North San Pedro Development Site.
The North San Pedro Development Site is generally located in the blocks bounded by Highway
87 to the west, West St. James Street to the south, North Market Street to the east, and a Union
Pacific right-of-way to the north.
The North San Pedro Site is improved with vacant industrial buildings, parking lots, and open
spacelcleared land. The Site is located in the Julian Stockton Redevelopment Project Area.
Prior to the sale of the Sites to the Developer, a tentative map will be prepared that shows the
proposed subdivision of the North San Pedro Development Site into separate parcels, four of
which will be the Sites. At conveyance of each of the four Sites, a final map will be recorded that
subdivides the North San Pedro Development Site into separate parcels, including the four
individual Sites.
Developer - ISFAcquisitions, LLC
ISF Acquisitions, LLC, a California limited liability company, is the Developer. The principal
office of the Developer is located at 595 Market Street, Suite 920, San Francisco, California
94105.
Project
The project ("Project") will be the design, development, and construction on each of the four
Sites of for-sale or rental residential units that may include townhouses or condominiums. A
total of approximately 124 units will be constructed. The Project is part of a coordinated
development of the North San Pedro Development Site by the Developer and Green Valley
Corporation dba Barry Swenson Builder (Swenson).
Phase One through Phase Three of the Project will include (a) residential units to be located on
each applicable Site (Residential Units), (b) adequate residential parking for the Residential
Units to be provided primarily in attached parking located below the Residential Units; and (c)
on-site and off-site improvements, including the on-site park improvements on the New Park

\\Sf-fsl\wp\l9\19080\19080.109\136\136-003.doc; 1011412008
Site (New Park Improvements), and off-site improvements to be performed by the Developer
(the Developer Off-Site Improvements).
Phase Four of the Project will include: (a) residential units to be located on the Phase Four Site
(Phase Four Residential Units); (b) adequate residential parking for Phase Four to be provided
primarily in attached parking located below the Phase Four Residential Units; and (c) on-site
and off-site improvements, including the construction of park improvements to the Pellier Park
Expansion Site (Pellier Park Improvements).
The Developer will coordinate with Swenson to ensure that the Project will be designed and
developed as an integrated complex in which the Project will be of first-class architectural
quality and character, both individually as to each Phase as well as in the context of the total
development of the North San Pedro Development Site, consistent with those standards
contained in the developmental approvals. Finish materials will be selected for quality and
permanence, conveying an intended image of an urban character for such improvements
appropriate in a downtown core area.
All off-site and public improvements and any public and open spaces required for the Project will
be designed and developed with the same degree of quality. Particular attention will be paid to
cy
the quality of materials. The ~ ~ e n and the Developer will cooperate and direct their
consultants, architects and/or engineers to cooperate so as to ensure the continuity and
coordination vitally necessary for the proper and timely completion of the development of the
Sites. The Developer, Swenson, and the Agency will work cooperatively to ensure that all site
improvements and park improvements are started and scheduled to be completed prior to the
sale of the first residential units.
The exact scope, size, unit count, and other aspects of the proposed Project will be determined
only after the Developer has complied with the appropriate governmental requirements and
obtained the appropriate governmental approvals, including a site development permit and
building permit, and all associated appeal periods have expired for the proposed Project.
lnclusionary Units / Inclusionary Housing Requirement
The Project is subject to the Agency's lnclusionary Housing Policy. The Developer will comply
with the lnclusionary Policy unless the Project is exempt from the requirements thereof. If the
Project is not exempt from the lnclusionary Policy, Developer will, at the close of escrow for the
conveyance of each Site, either pay the in-lieu fee, execute and record an affordability
agreement against such Site, or build a stand-alone affordable project. The parties acknowledge
that there is currently no exemption in place which would exempt the Project from the
requirements of the lnclusionary Policy.
Any Assisted Units will be distributed throughout the Project and not grouped or clustered or
otherwise separated from other non-Assisted Units. Developer will provide a mix of unit types

irrevocable offer of dedication of a parcel for an on-site park of not less than one (1)
acre will be made to the City for public park purposes on the North San Pedro
Development Site ("New Park Site"). On a Tentative Map Application either prepared
by Developer or Swenson or as a separate Tentative Map Application, an irrevocable
offer of dedication of a parcel adjacent to Pellier Park will be made to the City for public
park purposes as an expansion of Pellier Park ("Pellier Park Expansion Site").
Developer will prepare a final map conforming to the Approved Tentative Map ("Final
Map"). Within the time periods set forth in the Schedule of Performance, Developer will
file Final Maps for each Phase with the City for approval. Upon approval by the City,
the Final Maps will be recorded in the Office of the Santa Clara County Recorder.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Final Map for each
Phase will be recorded in the Office of the Santa Clara County Recorder prior to the
Close of Escrow for the sale of such Phase. The Agency will cooperate with Developer
in connection with the preparation of the Tentative Map Applications and the
. . . ..
preparation and recording of the Final Maps, including, if necessary, executing the
Tentative Map Applications and the Final Maps, provided that the preparation of the
. ..
Tentative Map Applications and the preparation and recording of the Final Maps will be
at the Developer's sole cost and expense.
9. The Developer and the Agency, in cooperation with Swenson, will enter into an
agreement with the City through its Department of Parks, Recreation & Neighborhood
Services (PRNS) for the design, construction, and maintenance of the New Park
lmprovements (New Park Parkland Agreement) and for the design, construction, and
maintenance of the Pellier Park lmprovements (Pellier Park Parkland Agreement). The
intent is for the Developer and Swenson to design and construct the parks for the
Project and be responsible for park maintenance of the new parks for three years after
completion to assure that landscaping is well established. The Developer and Swenson
will design and construct the New Park lmljiovements concurrently with their first
phases. After the street grid is restored, Pellier Park will be expanded and squared off
to reflect the grid pattern and the Pellier Park lmprovements will be constructed.
10. The cost of the New Park Parkland Agreement and the Pellier Park Parkland
Agreement will be collectively referred to as the Parkland Agreements, and the costs of
the New Park lmprovements and the Pellier Park lmprovements will be collectively
referred to as the Park lmprovement Costs. The Agency will be responsible for Park
lmprovement Costs that would be applicable to Swenson if Swenson fails to enter in
either of the Parkland Agreements or if Swenson enters into a Parkland Agreement but
defaults on its obligation to pay its share of Park lmprovement Costs under either such
agreement.
11. Developer acknowledges that if park maintenance costs are to be allocated and paid
by the homeowners associations of the buildings to be developed on the Development
Site, then a memorandum of Cost Sharing Agreement (Cost Sharing Agreement) will
Keyser Marston Associates, Inc Page 9
\\Sf-fsl\wp\l9\19080\19080 109\136\136-003 doc, 10/14/2008
be recorded against each of the Developer's Sites and the sites to be developed by
Swenson. Prior to recordation of the Cost Sharing Agreement, the Cost Sharing
Agreement will be approved by the Agency.
12. The Agency, Developer and Swenson will coordinate the design, permitting and
construction of the Off-Site Improvements.
13. Developer will submit to the Agency for its approval covenants, conditions, and
restrictions (CC&R3s)for each phase of the Project. The CC&R's will provide that the
homeowner's of such Phase will pay their allocable share of costs under the applicable
park maintenance agreement (Cast Sharing Agreement) and will include a provision
requiring the Developer and any Future Owners to maintain and repair any public art
located on the applicable Phase of the Project.
14. Developer will pay one-half of the escrow fee, one-half of any city documentary transfer
tax, and pay the portion of the CLTA title insurance policy as detailed in the Amended
and Restated Agreement. The Developer will pay all ad valorem taxes and
assessments due after closing.
15. Developer agrees that prior to the issuance'of a Certificate of Compliance for
completion of the Project, Developer will not assign all or any part of this Amended and
Restated Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agency, provided that ISF
Acquisitions, LLC may assign its rights under this Amended and Restated Agreement
to a limited liability company under the management and control of ISF Acquisitions,
LLC, lntracorp San Francisco, LLC, andlor lntracorp Real Estate, LLC without further
approval of the Agency.
16. The Developer will comply with the lnclusionary Policy unless the Project is exempt
from the requirements thereof.
17. The Developer will have an option to develop a fifth phase of the Project (Phase Five)
on a portion of the North San Pedro Development Site currently slated to be developed
by Swenson as the fourth phase of its separate Amended and Restated Agreement
with the Agency (on Swenson Phase Four Site, as defined in a separate Amended and
Restated Disposition and Development Agreement with the Agency). However, the
parties acknowledge that phase four of Swenson's development is
dependenffconditioned on the Agency acquiring the land from Legacy (Legacy Parcel).
For purposes of this Amended and Restated Agreement, Swenson's "Phase Four Site"
(as defined in the Swenson DDA) will be referred to herein as the "ISF Phase Five
Site". The Developer will have an option to acquire the ISF Phase Five Site and
develop a Phase Five if Swenson does not proceed with acquisition of that same site
for its own phase four development. If Swenson then elects to purchase the land from
the Agency, the Developer's Phase Five Option will terminate.

18. The Developer's Phase Five, if developed, will include: (a) residential units to be
located on the Phase Five Site ("Phase Five Residential Units"); (b) adequate
residential parking for Phase Five to be provided primarily in attached parking located
below the Phase Five Residential Units; and (c) necessary on-site and off-site
improvements.
19. If the option is exercised, Developer will separately purchase the Phase 5 Site "as is"
from the Agency as detailed in Section 111.8 of this report. There will be a separate
close of escrow for the Phase Five Site.
20. Developer will comply with the Parkland Dedication Ordinance set forth in the City of
San Jose Municipal Code. Developer acknowledges that pursuant to the Final Map, the
Agency dedicated the New Park Site and the Pellier Park Expansion Site to the City for
public park purposes. The Developer will not seek any credit under the Parkland
Dedication Ordinance for the dedication of the New Park Site or the Pellier Park
Expansion Site. The Developer will not be responsible for any park improvements or
park fees in excess of the requirements of the Parkland Dedication Ordinance for each
phase of the Project developed by the Developer.

Ill. COST OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT TO THE AGENCY
This section presents the total cost of the Amended and Restated Agreement to the Agency, as
well as the "net cost" of the project after consideration of the project revenues. The net cost can
be either an actual cost, when expenditures exceed receipts, or a net gain, when revenues
created by implementation of the Amended and Restated Agreement exceed expenditures.
A. Estimated Cost to the Agency
The Agency has incurred approximately $19.3 million in costs to-date associated with land
acquisition, relocation expenses, demolition, and remediation of the overall North San Pedro
Development Site. For this Amended and Restated Agreement, the Agency anticipates that it
to
will incur approximately $10,732,000 of additional expend~tures fund the costs for acquisition
of the Caltrans (now Legacy) Parcel, the construction of the Julian Street Realignment
Improvements, and for miscellaneous consultant costs. Overall Agency costs are estimated at
$30.02 million. The Agency will receive a $700,000 grant from the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) for infrastructure costs. Deducting this amount, total adjusted Agency
costs are $29,322,000 (rounded).
As stated earlier in this report, the Project is part of a coordinated development of the North San
Pedro Development Site by the Developer and Green Valley Corporation dba Barry Swenson
Builder (Swenson). For purposes of this analysis, the total costs can be allocated to the
Developer (44.2%) and Swenson (55.8%) based on their respective land areas as a percentage
of total site size, as follows.
Aaencv Costs Allocated bv Land Area

\\Sf-fsl\wp\l9\19080\19080.109\136\136-003.dac, 10/14/2008
The Agency also has a contingent liability to fund Swenson's obligations for park improvement
costs in the event that the Swenson Project is delayed.
As shown above, after deducting the EPA grant, the estimated Agency Costs under the
Amended and Restated Agreement are $29,322,000 (rounded). Of these Agency costs,
$13,137,000 is allocated to ISF Acquisitions.
The estimated Agency Costs under the Original DDA were estimated to be $29,610,000
(rounded). Of these Agency costs, $14,421,000 (48.7%) was allocated to the Olson Company
and $15,189,000 (51.3%) was allocated to Swenson, based on their respective land areas.
For this Amended and Restated Agreement, the $29.32 million in Agency costs will be funded
by bond proceeds. Interest on Agency financing of approximately $29.32 million is estimated to
be approximately $27.9 million over 30 years at an assumed interest rate of 5%. Principal and
interest will be repaid over a 30-year period. On a present value basis, the interest cost is
nominal.
B. Revenues t o the Agency
In the Amended and Restated Agreement, the agreed upon land payments are linked to land
area instead of the unit count per phase. The land areas taken down in each phase are as
follows:
Amended and Restated Agreement -
Phase Schedule for Take Down Land Area
Phase One January 20,2010 26,657 sq fl
Phase Two May 20,2011 35,525 sq fl
Phase Three September 12,2012 51,104sqfl
Phase Four June 30,2014 36,279 sq.fl
Based on the proposed development program, the estimated land payment is:

\\Sf-fsl\wp\l9\19080\19080.109\136\136-003 doc, 10114/2008
The payment will occur over time. Presently, the land payments are expected in 2010, 2011,
2011 and 2014. Discounting these payments at 6%, the present value of the land payments is
estimated to be $9,344,000. Therefore total Agency revenues are $9,344,000.
For purposes of this Agreement, it is assumed that the Developer will not exercise its option to
separately purchase the ISF Phase 5 Site (Legacy Parcel) from the Agency.
C. Net Cost to the Agency
Total Agency costs are estimated to be $13,137,000. Agency revenues are estimated to be
$9,344,000. As a result, the net cost to the Agency is $3,793,000, as summarized below:
Estimate
Agency's Gross Cost $ 13,137,000
(Less) Agency Revenue 9,344,0001
Net Cost to Agency $ 3,793,000
The Agency also has a contingent financial liability to fund the Swenson portion of the park
improvement costs if the Swenson Project is delayed.

IV. VALUE OF THE INTEREST TO BE CONVEYED
Fair Reuse Value
In December 2003, the Agency authorized the release of a Request for Proposals (RFP)
seeking developers to redevelop the North San Pedro Development Site for high-density
residential development. After an extensive and thorough review and interview process, the
proposal received by the development team of Barry Swenson Builder and The Olson Company
was selected as being the strongest and most consistent with the goals and evaluation criteria
outlined in the RFP. Subsequently, the Olson Company assigned all its rights under the Original
DDA to ISF Acquisitions. ISF Acquisitions' proposal is to construct approximately 124 stacked
townhouses or condominiums in 4 phases. The average density is approximately 37 units per
acre.
ISF Acquisitions will purchase the Sites from the Agency in four phases for the purchase price
of $1 1,488,753 (averages $77 per gross sq.ft. of each Site), pursuant to the Amended and
Restated Agreement (see Section 1II.B). The payment will occur over time. Presently, the land
payments are expected in 2010,201 1,2011 and 2014. The present value of the land payments
is estimated to be $9,344,000 (averages $63 per gross sq.ft. of each Site).
The fair reuse value for the Site is directly a function of a very specific development program as
specified in the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Agreement and the
development economics of the specific use. The Agency is requiring the Developer to: (1)
develop a high density residential project with no Agency funds other than the Agency financing
the cost of off site public infrastructure, (2) pay prevailing wages for construction of the Project
and (3) meet the inclusionary housing requirement. Development of the Project must occur
within the timeframe stated in the Amended and Restated Agreement, e.g., speculation is not
allowed.
Based on the reuse conditions that the Developer is required to satisfy, the Developer is offering
to pay $1 1,488,753 for the Sites. The proposed payment is considered to represent the fair
reuse value for the Sites based on current market conditions.
Value at Highest and Best Use
KMA has also estimated the value of the interest being conveyed to the Developer is sold by the
Agency at its highest and best use allowed under the Redevelopment Plan. The highest and
best use must satisfy zoning, building codes, affordable housing requirements, market
conditions, and the Agency requirement that new investment occur within a set timeframe, e.g.,
speculation is not allowed.
Keyser Marston Associates, Inc Page 15
\\Sf-fsl\wp\l9\19080\19080.109\136\136-003 doc, 1011412008
The Developer is offering to pay $1 1,488,753 ($77 per sq.ft.) for the Sites. The proposed
payment is considered to represent the fair market value for the Sites based on market
conditions, given the requirement to build residential and that land speculation is not allowed.
The consideration being paid to the Agency is not less than the fair reuse value at the use and
with the covenants and conditions imposed under the DDA. The consideration being paid to the
Agency is also not less than the fair market value that the Agency could expect to receive for
the Site at its highest and best use with the conditions that a major high density residential
development must occur.
The Agency has determined that this specific Project as provided in the Amended and Restated
Agreement offers the best complementary uses for other land uses in the Julian Stockton
Redevelopment Project Area. The Project will enhance the area by increasing the supply of
housing downtown and stimulate other private investments. Therefore, the Project will further
the overall goals of the Agency's Downtown Strategy Plan 2010 adopted by the San Jose City
Council and the Agency to revitalize the downtown core.
VI. ELIMINATION OF BLIGHT
The Site in which the Project will be constructed is located in the Julian Stockton
Redevelopment Project Area on the blocks bounded.by Highway 87 to the west, West St.
James Street to the south, North Market Street to the east, and a Union Pacific right-of-way to
the north. The neighborhood of the Site is an emerging residential area on the northern edge of
downtown San Jose. To the north and east are both new housing developments and traditional
neighborhoods around Ryland Park and North First Street. South of the Site lies a mixture of
commercial, public, and residential properties, including the new residential high-rise
development City Heights under construction by the Developer. The Guadalupe Freeway
(Highway 87) borders the Site to the west.
To reinforce and enhance the vitality of the downtown as a public and commercial center for
San Jose, the Agency made a substantial investment in the revitalization effort to create a
downtown core that serves as both a daytime and nighttime activity center. The revitalization
effort includes the development of cultural, art, entertainment, commercial, and residential
components.
The Agency has determined that the Site is ideal for a high quality, high density residential
development. The Site, located at the edge of the downtown core just north of the active
restaurant row along North San Pedro Street, is a significant land assembly site for housing to
support the downtown core. The realignment of Julian Street to re-establish the street grid
pattern is an integral part of the proposed Project as it will create an attractive pedestrian
oriented neighborhood adjacent to the Downtown Core area. After the street grid is restored
Keyser Marston Assouates. Inc Page 16
\\Sf-fsl\wp\l9\19080\19080 109\136\136-003 doc, 10/14/2008
through the Julian Street realignment project, the existing Pellier Park will be expanded and
squared off to reflect the grid pattern.
The Project will assist in the removal of blight by increasing the supply of housing downtown on
an underutilized Site; creating public spaces, including a new one-acre park and the expansion
of Pellier Park; strengthening the Julian Stockton Redevelopment Project Area as a first-class
residential location in San Jose; and providing a catalysffcreate momentum for additional private
investment in the Downtown Area. The Project will increase employment, both during the
construction phase and thereafter. In addition, the City's general fund will show increased
property taxes and utility user fees.
Thus, the Agency is entering into this Amended and Restated Agreement in order to achieve its
objectives to stimulate further residential development in the downtown area and remove blight
in the downtown area.
VII. CONFORMANCE WITH FIVE-YEAR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
The primary Five-Year lmplementation Plan program objective for the Julian Stockton
Redevelopment Project Area is to eliminate conditions that negatively impact economic
development of the community. To that end, the Agency is selling the Site for reuse as a
stacked townhouse residential condominium Project.
Furthermore, the Implementation Plan also establishes a priority objective of increasing the
community's economic base by encouraging investment in the redevelopment project area. The
Project will further encourage the Julian Stockton Redevelopment Project Area as a mid- to
high-density residential neighborhood consistent with the goals of the Agency's Downtown
Strategy Plan to attract residential uses to downtown San Jose. The Project will be developed in
the near-term and it will maximize the Site's ability to draw additional uses to the downtown. As
such, the Project will increase the real property tax base and provide utility user tax within the
Julian Stockton Redevelopment Project Area. The Project conforms to the lmplementation Plan
and will achieve the goals specifically defined in the implementation plan.

11. SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSED AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT
A. Description of the Site and Project
Site
The site is an approximately 184,258 sq.ft. (4.23 acre) infill redevelopment site in the northwest
quadrant of downtown San Jose. This site, which is being assembled by the Agency (Agency is
in the process of acquiring a parcel from Legacy), consists of four (4) individual sites
(collectively, the "Sites" and individually, "Site") generally known as the Phase One Site, the
Phase Two Site, the Phase Three Site, and the Phase Four Site. The Sites are part of a larger,
approximately 9 acre site commonly referred to as the North San Pedro Development Site.
The North San Pedro Development Site is generally located in the blocks bounded by Highway
87 to the west, West St. James Street to the south, North Market Street to the east, and a Union
Pacific right-of-way to the north.
The North San Pedro Site is improved with vacant industrial buildings, parking lots, and open
spacelcleared land. The Site is located in the Julian Stockton Redevelopment Project Area.
Prior to the sale of the Sites to the Developer, a tentative map will be prepared that shows the
proposed subdivision of the North San Pedro Development Site into separate parcels, four of
which will be the Sites. At conveyance of each of the four Sites, a final map will be recorded that
subdivides the North San Pedro Development Site into separate parcels, including the four
individual Sites.

The exact scope, size, unit count, and other aspects of the proposed Project will be determined
only after the Developer has complied with the appropriate governmental requirements and
obtained the appropriate governmental approvals, including a site development permit and
building permit, and all associated appeal periods have expired for the proposed Project.
Inclusionary Units / Inclusionary Housing Requirement
The Project is subject to the Agency's lnclusionary Housing Policy. The Developer will comply with
the lnclusionary Policy unless the Project is exempt from the requirements thereof. If the Project is
not exempt from the lnclusionary Policy, Developer will, at the close of escrow for the conveyance
of each Site, either pay the in-lieu fee, execute and record an affordability agreement against such
Site, or build a stand-alone affordable project. The parties acknowledge that there is currently no
exemption in place which would exempt the Project from the requirements of the lnclusionary
Policy.
Any Assisted Units will be distributed throughout the Project and not grouped or clustered or
otherwise separated from other non-Assisted Units. Developer will provide a mix of unit types
(~.e.,number of bedrooms) for the Assisted Units in the same proportion as the Project's overall
mix of unit types, and will require that the Assisted Units be of comparable quality with similar
amenities available to other non-Assisted Units in the Project excluding any upgrades paid
separately for by the buyer of any unit. Owners of the Assisted Units will have equal access to
and enjoyment of all common facilities of the Project.

Ill. COST OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT TO THE AGENCY
This section presents the total cost of the Amended and Restated Agreement to the Agency, as
well as the "net cost" of the project after consideration of the project revenues. The net cost can be
either an actual cost, when expenditures exceed receipts, or a net gain, when revenues created by
implementation of the Amended and Restated Agreement exceed expenditures.
A. Estimated Cost to the Agency
The Agency has incurred approximately $19.3 million in costs to-date associated with land
acquisition, relocation expenses, demolition, and remediation of the overall North San Pedro
Development Site. For this Amended and Restated Agreement, the Agency anticipates that it will
incur approximately $10,732,000 of additional expenditures to fund the costs for acquisition of
the Caltrans (now Legacy) Parcel, the construction of the Julian Street Realignment
Improvements, and for miscellaneous consultant costs. Overall Agency costs are estimated at
$30.02 million. The Agency will receive a $700,000 grant from the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) for infrastructure costs. Deducting this amount, total adjusted Agency
costs are $29,322,000 (rounded).
As stated earlier in this report, the Project is part of a coordinated development of the North San
Pedro Development Site by the Developer and Green Valley Corporation dba Barly Swenson
Builder (Swenson). For purposes of this analysis, the total costs can be allocated to the
Developer (44.2%) and Swenson (55.8%) based on their respective land areas as a percentage
of total site size, as follows:
Aqencv Costs Allocated bv Land Area
Total Swenson Allocation ISF Awu~sitions

The Agency also has a contingent liability to fund Swenson's obligations for park improvement
costs in the event that the Swenson Project is delayed.
As shown above, after deducting the EPA grant, the estimated Agency Costs under the Amended
and Restated Agreement are $29,322,000 (rounded). Of these Agency costs, $16,184,000 is
allocated to Swenson.
The estimated Agency Costs under the Original DDA were estimated to be $29,610,000 (rounded).
Of these Agency costs, $14,421,000 (48.7%) was allocated to the Olson Company and
$15,189,000 (51.3%) was allocated to Swenson, based on their respective land areas.
For this Amended and Restated Agreement, the $29.32 million in Agency costs will be funded by
bond proceeds. Interest on Agency financing of approximately $29.32 million is estimated to be
approximately $27.9 million over 30 years at an assumed interest rate of 5%. Principal and interest
will be repaid over a 30-year period. On a present value basis, the interest cost is nominal.
B. Revenues t o the Agency

\\Sf-fsl\wp\l9\19080\19080.109\136\136-004.doc; 10114/2008
The payment will occur over time. Presently, the land payments are expected in 2010,2012, and
2014. Discounting these payments at 6%, the present value of the land payments is estimated to
be $15,112,000. Therefore total Agency revenues are $15,112,000.
C. Net Cost to the Agency
Total Agency costs are estimated to be $16,184,000. Agency revenues are estimated to be
$15,112,000. As a result, the net cost to the Agency is $1,072,000, as summarized below:

IV. VALUE OF THE INTEREST TO BE CONVEYED
Fair Reuse Value
In December 2003, the Agency authorized the release of a Request for Proposals (RFP)
seeking developers to redevelop the Agency Parcel for high-density residential development.
Barry Swenson Builder was one of two development teams selected as being the most
consistent with the goals and evaluat~on
criteria outlined in the RFP. The Agency entered a
Disposition and Development Agreement in 2007.
The Swenson proposal is now revises the land payment. The development program is now
revised to approximately 475 units in three towers and 17 stacked townhouses. The average
density is approximately 116 units per acre. Barry Swenson Builder will pay the Agency
$18,600,000 (averages $101 per gross sq.R. of each Site), pursuant to the Amended and Restated
Agreement (see Section 111.B). The payment will occur over time. Presently, the land payments are
expected in 2010, 2012, and 2014. The present value of the land payments is estimated to be
$15,112,000 (averages $82 per gross sq.ft. of each Site).
is a
The fair reuse value for the S ~ t e d~rectly function of a very specific development program as
specified in the terms and conditions of the Agreement and the development economics of the
specific use. The Agency is requiring the Developer to: ( I ) develop a high density residential
project with no Agency funds other than the Agency financ~ng cost of off site public
the
infrastructure, (2) pay prevailing wages for construction of the Project and (3) meet the
inclusionary housrng requirement.
For the conveyance of the first Agency Parcel for a tower in 2010 and the condition that
construction must commencement shortly thereafter as stated in the Agreement and land
speculation is not allowed, the payment offered by Swenson is greater than the fair reuse value
that can be supported by a residential tower in the real estate market today.
Value at Highest and Best Use
KMA has also estimated the value of the interest being conveyed to the Developer if sold by the
Agency at its highest and best use allowed under the Redevelopment Plan. The highest and best
use must satisfy zoning, building codes, affordable housing requirements, market conditions, and
the Agency requirement that new investment occur within a set timeframe, e.g., speculation is not
allowed.
The Developer is offering to pay $18,600,000 ($101 per sq.ft.) for the Sites. The proposed payment
is considered to represent the fair market value for the Sites based on current market conditions,
given the requirement to build residential and that speculation is not allowed.
Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. Page 15
\\Sf-fsl\wp\l9\19080\19080.109\136\136-004.doc; 10/14/2008
V. CONSIDERATION RECEIVED AND REASONS THEREFORE
The consideration being paid to the Agency is not less than the fair reuse value at the use and
with the covenants and conditions imposed under the DDA. The consideration being paid to the
Agency is also not less than the fair market value that the Agency could expect to receive for
the Site at its highest and best use with the conditions that a major high density residential
development must occur.
The Agency has determined that this specific Project as provided in the Agreement offers the
best complementary uses for other land uses in the Julian Stockton Redevelopment Proiect
Area. The Project will enhance the area by increasing the supply of housing downtown and
stimulate other private investments. Therefore, the Project will further the overall goals of the
Agency's Downtown Strategy Plan 2010 adopted by the San Jose City Council.
VI. ELIMINATION OF BLIGHT
The Site in which the Project will be constructed is located in the Julian Stockton
Redevelopment Project Area on the blocks bounded by Highway 87 to the west, West St.
James Street to the south, North Market Street to the east, and a Union Pacific right-of-way to
the north. The neighborhood of the Site is an emerging residential area on the northern edge of
downtown San Jose. To the north and east are both new housing developments and traditional
neighborhoods around Ryland Park and North First Street. South of the Site lies a mixture of
commerc~al,public, and residential properties, lncludlng the new residential high-rise
development City Heights under construction by the Developer. The Guadalupe Freeway
(Highway 87) borders the Site to the west.
To reinforce and enhance the vitality of the downtown as a public and commercial center for San
Jose, the Agency made a substantial investment in the revitalization effort to create a downtown
core that serves as both a daytime and nighttime activity center. The revitalization effort includes
the development of cultural, art, entertainment, commercial, and residential components.
The Agency has determined that the Site is ideal for a high quality, high density residential
development. The Site, located at the edge of the downtown core just north of the active restaurant
row along North San Pedro Street, is a significant land assembly site for housing to support the
downtown core. The realignment of Julian Street to re-establish the street grid pattern is an integral
part of the proposed Project as it will create an attractive pedestrian oriented neighborhood
adjacent to the Downtown Core area. After the street grid is restored through the Julian Street
realignment project, the existing Pellier Park will be expanded and squared off to reflect the grid
pattern.
The Project will assist in the removal of blight by increasing the supply of housing downtown on
an underutilized Site; creating public spaces, including a new one-acre park and the expansion of
Keyser Marston Associates. Inc. Page 16
\\Sf-fsl\wp\19\19080\19080.109\136\136-004.doc: 10/14/2008
Pellier Park; strengthening the Julian Stockton Redevelopment Project Area as a first-class
residential location in San Jose; and providing a catalystlcreate momentum for additional private
investment in the Downtown Area. The Project will increase employment, both during the
construction phase and thereafter. In addition, the City's general fund will show increased property
taxes and utility user fees.
Thus, the Agency is entering into this Amended and Restated Agreement in order to achieve its
objectives to stimulate further residential development in the downtown area and remove blight in
the downtown area.
VII. CONFORMANCE WITH FIVE-YEAR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
The primary Five-Year Implementation Plan program objective for the Julian Stockton
Redevelopment Project Area is to eliminate conditions that negatively impact economic
development of the community. To that end, the Agency is selling the Site for reuse as a high-
rise and stacked townhouse residential condominium project.
Furthermore, the lmplementation Plan also establishes a priority objective of increasing the
community's economic base by encouraging investment in the redevelopment project area. The
Project will further encourage the Julian Stockton Redevelopment Project Area as a mid- to
high-density residential neighborhood consistent with the goals of the Agency's Downtown
Strategy Plan to attract residential uses to downtown San Jose. The Project will be developed in
the near-term and it will maximize the Site's ability to draw additional uses to the downtown. As
such, the Project will increase the real property tax base and provide utility user tax within the
Julian Stockton Redevelopment Project Area. The Project conforms to the lmplementation Plan
and will achieve the goals specifically defined in the implementation plan.
