Affordable Housing Compliance Monitoring has an Impact

With the assistance of our consultant, RSG, we have completed our annual affordable housing compliance
monitoring over the last 10 months by reviewing current compliance data and working directly with
approximately 25 multi-family property owners and/or managers to bring current units into compliance for
over 1,200 affordable units within the City limits. During these monitoring efforts several properties were
discovered to be out of compliance. With the collaborative efforts of our consultant, Finance, Code
Enforcement and Fire Prevention, we were able to swiftly engage property owners and managers with
improving living conditions for our residents and bringing many properties within compliance levels.

As a direct result of this monitoring we were able to analyze rents charged over the last year along with rent
increases for appropriateness and compliance with guidelines. In one instance of a senior apartment complex
st
we were successful in identifying that a proposed rental increase scheduled for December 1 would put the
property out of compliance. As a result, the property management company rescinded the proposed
increase to remain in compliance with the affordability regulations.

Financial Resources

Time and Materials (T&M) Program

The City’s Time & Materials program was created to provide qualifying large-scale development programs the
convenience and economies of scale option deposit account to fund staff time and material costs of project
development. Work is performed by each of the development services divisions: Building & Safety, Fire
Prevention, Land Development, Parks, Planning, Special Districts and Transportation.

Both time of staff and materials used or outsourced services are tracked and reimbursed by the developers as
services are rendered. Developers are provided a monthly report of activity and deposit accounts are
replenished as needed. Our active T&M Projects, including the projects that are in the warranty phase, are:

• March Business Center by Western Realco (CSIPWR Moreno Valley, LLC)
• Nandina Building A by IDS Real Estate Group (FR/Cal Moreno Valley, LLC)
• Aldi Foods Distribution Center by Aldi, Inc.
• Deckers Distribution Center by Sares-Regis
