Subject: LMCHC Proposal to Develop Purple Cow Site
Dear Ms. Deese:
August 26, 2015
2015 AUG 27 PM1:26
La Maestra Community Health Centers is pleased to present our proposal to partner with the City of National City to
develop a mixed -use project on the vacant City -owned site north of Eta Street on Highland Avenue (commonly referred to
as the Purple Cow site). The members of the Board of Directors and management staff at La Maestra are committed to
working with the City to clean up and develop the long vacant Purple Cow site. That property sits at the gateway into
National City from the north. Development of the site and the adjacent property with medical, commercial and affordable
multi -family housing will revitalize those properties and serve as a stimulus to revitalization of surrounding properties in
National City and San Diego.
This location is special to our organization, as we have operated a Community Health Center near that site and want to
continue to serve the residents of National City. However, we need more space and more parking, and there are no viable
alternative locations in the vicinity. Development of a new Health Center on the Purple Cow site will allow us to expand
our services and do an even better job for our clients and your residents.
We appreciate the support for the project voiced by the Mayor and Council Members, and by staff. As the development
process and acquisition of subsidies for affordable housing take a significant amount of time, it is essential to move forward
on development of the site as soon as possible.
La Maestra is fully committed to moving forward right now. In this regard, La Maestra is already expending funds, for a
prize winning architectural firm, and for the initial members of our development consultant team. We have begun
discussions with a lender for predevelopment funds that will allow us to bring on the full team of design, engineering, legal,
financial and construction consultants.
The proposal information summary is as follows:
Project Concept
✓ Medical offices plus community serving uses.
1 La Maestra Community Health Centers to occupy the medical offices.
1 63 affordable residential units.
✓ Residential units to be a mix of one, two and three bedrooms.
✓ Underground parking, substantially more than required.
Building Concept
1 Medical clinic buildings will be three -stories with the majority of the space dedicated for patient care, plus space
for administrative, classroom, meeting and other support uses.
✓ 18,800 square feet for medical clinic and related community serving uses.
✓ 64,316 square feet for the residential units and related facilities.
✓ All buildings will be three -stories over an underground parking garage.
✓ Proposed space and uses comply with all applicable development regulations; no deviations requested.

Financials
✓ Total project development costs = $27,310,5000 (rounded).
Ground Lease
✓ Long-term ground lease.
✓ Lease not effective until the project is fully entitled and construction and permanent financing is secured.
In addition, we have been working closely with the partners of the adjacent Park Villas property, and have come to an
agreement to enter into a joint venture development of that property for the purpose of providing a new child daycare
center, and a 3-story building that will house the Park Villas property management offices, community serving uses
including retail space, plus a potential site for a Fire Department emergency response substation. This joint venture will
ensure that improvements to both properties are consistent in terms of height, bulk, architectural style and colors, and will
include joint development and use of park recreation facilities. This will also allow a mixing of uses between properties,
and potential combining of property management and security services.
Finally, we want to make special note of the fact that La Maestra has agreed to include a $50,000 fee in the project budget
to cover the cost of City staff and City consultants' oversight of this large development. We anticipate paying the first half
of this fee upon approval of the Exclusive Negotiating Agreement, and the remainder at the start of construction.
We look forward to working with the City of National City on this exciting project. If you have any questions, please
contact me at (619) 584-1612.
Sincerely,
a Marselian, MA,'FACHE

Zone Classification:

The Purple Cow Site --former location of the Purple Cow Dairy
National City Community Development Commission
1.47 acres, 64,033 square feet
Minor Mixed Use
MXC-1, Minor Mixed Use Corridor
Project Concept
La Maestra Family Clinic Inc. proposes to build a residential, medical and office mixed -use
development on the National City -owned Purple Cow site located on Highland Avenue. The
development will be the new location for the La Maestra Community Health Center —National
City, a 16,200 square foot facility that will serve the South Region of San Diego County. The
existing La Maestra Community Health Center in National City is a smaller facility located at
217 Highland Avenue. A strong focus of La Maestra's work has been service to diverse, low-
income populations including veterans and their families, as well as refugees, immigrants and
other underserved special populations. The new clinic will continue and expand that effort.
Many of La Maestra's clients, veterans and others, have been impacted by the severe shortage
of affordable housing in the region. Affordable housing will be the predominant use in this
development. There will be 63 apartments for individuals and families with incomes from 30% to
60% of the Area Median Income, with a priority on veterans and their families along with other
underserved special populations.
Development of the Purple Cow site will be coordinated with development on the adjacent
vacant property to the south, owned by Park Villas Apartments. That property will be developed
through a separate Joint Venture between La Maestra and Park Villas Apartments, with
La Maestra as the Managing General Partner. Space will be developed on that site for Park
Villas' property management office, a new location for their child daycare center, and other
community serving uses that could include an emergency response unit of the Fire Department.
Site Development Concept
Commercial Development along Highland Avenue
The full development an both sites will be comprised of three 3-story buildings along Highland
Avenue, plus a 1-story daycare building on Eta Street. The three buildings will have a total of
30,200 square feet of space (18,800 square feet in the two commercial buildings on the Purple
Cow site). The Community Health Center will occupy the entire northernmost building on
Highland Avenue, with additional medical and non -medical services provided by La Maestra in
the middle building, approximately 16,200 square feet of space. In addition to medical space,
the middle building will include 2,600 square feet of community serving office space.
Each of La Maestra's health center sites offers a comprehensive range of culturally and
linguistically -appropriate services including preventive care, treatment, chronic disease
management and essential support services to the diverse, low income, uninsured and
underinsured patients who have chosen La Maestra as their health home.
EXHIBIT "A"
PURPLE COW ENA
An array of healthcare services will be provided in the new health center, including: outpatient
primary care for all ages, OB/Gyn, immunizations, laboratory, pharmacy, dental, vision,
mental/behavioral health services (including for PTSD and substance abuse), digital radiology,
chronic disease management and care coordination. Health education, eligibility assistance in
applying for Medi-Cal, CalFresh, and other programs, access to nutritious food, physical
rehabilitation services and a fitness center will also help patients to improve their health.
Each of La Maestra's health centers, including this new site, also offer interpretation,
transportation, legal and social advocacy services along with job training and placement,
computer classes, financial literacy and small business development services.
The third and southernmost building will house the Park Villas Apartments property
management office, and a variety of community -serving office and retail uses. The Park Villas
daycare center will move out of apartment space and into a new 4,000 square foot building,
freeing up more affordable apartments to rent.
Residential Development
On the east side of the Community Health Center buildings will be the residential structures,
3-story apartment buildings built over a single level of underground parking. The residential
component will include 63 apartments in a mix of 1, 2, and 3-bedroom units affordable to
individuals and families with incomes from 30% to 60% of the Area Median Income.
The development will have 18 one -bedroom units, 21 two -bedroom units, and 24 three -bedroom
units. The 63 apartments and related facilities, including the management office, maintenance
room, community room including kitchen facilities, computer center, library, and services offices,
will total approximately 64,316 square feet, for a total development of 83,116 square feet. The
maximum residential density allowed in the MXC-1 zone is 48 units per acre. With the affordable
housing density bonus, 95 units are allowed on the 1.47-acre Purple Cow site. The focus of this
development is creating a positive living environment rather than maximizing density.
Parking
All parking for tenants, staff and visitors on the Purple Cow site will be in the single level of
underground parking. Tenants, staff and visitors on the Park Villas property will use a surface
parking lot.
Project Subsidies
As with all affordable housing developments, this project will require a mix of tax credits, grants,
loans, and local contributions to finance the development. The primary source of subsidies will
be Federal Low Income Housing Tax Credits, allocated through the State. Grants are available
for construction of affordable housing through the State of California's Prop 41 Veterans
Housing Funds. A significant local government contribution is required for a competitive Low
Income Housing Tax Credit application. This can be accomplished by a City contribution of the
Purple Cow property to this project through a long-term lease, with payment to the City from
residual receipts. In this way, the City keeps ownership of the land, and receives full payment
over time. A portion of the land value can also be counted toward a New Markets Tax Credit
project equity contribution for the commercial portion of the development.

Notes:
* La Maestra proposes a long-term residual receipts ground lease, with the City of National City
contributing the land to the project for the 55-year restricted housing affordability period, while
retaining long-term ownership. Current estimated value of the land is $40.00 per square foot.
Development Team
La Maestra's main location is a three-story, 36,440 square foot, Gold Level LEED-certified
Community Health Center located in City Heights in Central San Diego. La Maestra was the
owner -builder of that facility. In addition, La Maestra has experience leasing and outfitting
medical clinic space, as it currently operates three satellite community medical centers, five
dental clinics, and four school -based clinics. To assist with the development of the new medical
space, the additional commercial space, and the affordable housing component, La Maestra
brought in a core team of experienced housing and commercial development specialists, two of
whom were involved in the development of its main medical center on Fairmount Avenue in City
Heights, the development of the adjacent senior apartment project, and the mixed -use
commercial and family apartment building.

Subject: LMCHC Proposal to Develop Purple Cow Site
Dear Ms. Deese:
Attachment No. 1
August 26, 2015
2015 AUG 27 pM 1: 26
La Maestra Community Health Centers is pleased to present our proposal to partner with the City of National City to
develop a mixed -use project on the vacant City -owned site north of Eta Street on Highland Avenue (commonly referred to
as the Purple Cow site). The members of the Board of Directors and management staff at La Maestra are committed to
working with the City to clean up and develop the long vacant Purple Cow site. That property sits at the gateway into
National City from the north. Development of the site and the adjacent property with medical, commercial and affordable
multi -family housing will revitalize those properties and serve as a stimulus to revitalization of surrounding properties in
National City and San Diego.
This location is special to our organization, as we have operated a Community Health Center near that site and want to
continue to serve the residents of National City. However, we need more space and more parking, and there are no viable
alternative locations in the vicinity. Development of a new Health Center on the Purple Cow site will allow us to expand
our services and do an even better job for our clients and your residents.
We appreciate the support for the project voiced by the Mayor and Council Members, and by staff. As the development
process and acquisition of subsidies for affordable housing take a significant amount of time, it is essential to move forward
on development of the site as soon as possible.
La Maestra is fully committed to moving forward right now. In this regard, La Maestra is already expending funds, for a
prize winning architectural firm, and for the initial members of our development consultant team. We have begun
discussions with a lender for predevelopment funds that will allow us to bring on the full team of design, engineering, legal,
financial and construction consultants.
The proposal information summary is as follows:
Project Concept
✓ Medical offices plus community serving uses.
✓ La Maestra Community Health Centers to occupy the medical offices.
✓ 63 affordable residential units.
✓ Residential units to be a mix of one, two and three bedrooms.
✓ Underground parking, substantially more than required.
Building Concept
✓ Medical clinic buildings will be three -stories with the majority of the space dedicated for patient care, plus space
for administrative, classroom, meeting and other support uses.
✓ 18,800 square feet for medical clinic and related community serving uses.
✓ 64,316 square feet for the residential units and related facilities.
✓ All buildings will be three -stories over an underground parking garage.
✓ Proposed space and uses comply with all applicable development regulations; no deviations requested.

Financials
✓ Total project development costs = $27,310,5000 (rounded).
Ground Lease
✓ Long-term ground lease.
✓ Lease not effective until the project is fully entitled and construction and permanent financing is secured.
In addition, we have been working closely with the partners of the adjacent Park Villas property, and have come to an
agreement to enter into a joint venture development of that property for the purpose of providing a new child daycare
center, and a 3-story building that will house the Park Villas property management offices, community serving uses
including retail space, plus a potential site for a Fire Department emergency response substation. This joint venture will
ensure that improvements to both properties are consistent in terms of height, bulk, architectural style and colors, and will
include joint development and use of park recreation facilities. This will also allow a mixing of uses between properties,
and potential combining of property management and security services.
Finally, we want to make special note of the fact that La Maestra has agreed to include a $50,000 fee in the project budget
to cover the cost of City staff and City consultants' oversight of this large development. We anticipate paying the first half
of this fee upon approval of the Exclusive Negotiating Agreement, and the remainder at the start of construction.
We look forward to working with the City of National City on this exciting project. If you have any questions, please
contact me at (619) 584-1612.

Mixed -Use Development Proposal

MXC-1, Minor Mixed Use Corridor
Project Concept
La Maestra Family Clinic Inc. proposes to build a residential, medical and office mixed -use
development on the National City -owned Purple Cow site located on Highland Avenue. The
development will be the new location for the La Maestra Community Health Center —National
City, a 16,200 square foot facility that will serve the South Region of San Diego County. The
existing La Maestra Community Health Center in National City is a smaller facility located at
217 Highland Avenue. A strong focus of La Maestra's work has been service to diverse, low-
income populations including veterans and their families, as well as refugees, immigrants and
other underserved special populations. The new clinic will continue and expand that effort.
Many of La Maestra's clients, veterans and others, have been impacted by the severe shortage
of affordable housing in the region. Affordable housing will be the predominant use in this
development. There will be 63 apartments for individuals and families with incomes from 30% to
60% of the Area Median Income, with a priority on veterans and their families along with other
underserved special populations.
Development of the Purple Cow site will be coordinated with development on the adjacent
vacant property to the south, owned by Park Villas Apartments. That property will be developed
through a separate Joint Venture between La Maestra and Park Villas Apartments, with
La Maestra as the Managing General Partner. Space will be developed on that site for Park
Villas' property management office, a new location for their child daycare center, and other
community serving uses that could include an emergency response unit of the Fire Department.
Site Development Concept
Commercial Development along Highland Avenue
The full development on both sites will be comprised of three 3-story buildings along Highland
Avenue, plus a 1-story daycare building on Eta Street. The three buildings will have a total of
30,200 square feet of space (18,800 square feet in the two commercial buildings on the Purple
Cow site). The Community Health Center will occupy the entire northernmost building on
Highland Avenue, with additional medical and non -medical services provided by La Maestra in
the middle building, approximately 16,200 square feet of space. In addition to medical space,
the middle building will include 2,600 square feet of community serving office space.
Each of La Maestra's health center sites offers a comprehensive range of culturally and
Linguistically -appropriate services including preventive care, treatment, chronic disease
management and essential support services to the diverse, low income, uninsured and
underinsured patients who have chosen La Maestra as their health home.
EXHIBIT "A" PURPLE COW ENA
Attachment No. 1
An array of healthcare services will be provided in the new health center, including: outpatient
primary care for all ages, OB/Gyn, immunizations, laboratory, pharmacy, dental, vision,
mental/behavioral health services (including for PTSD and substance abuse), digital radiology,
chronic disease management and care coordination. Health education, eligibility assistance in
applying for Medi-Cal, CalFresh, and other programs, access to nutritious food, physical
rehabilitation services and a fitness center will also help patients to improve their health.
Each of La Maestra's health centers, including this new site, also offer interpretation,
transportation, legal and social advocacy services along with job training and placement,
computer classes, financial literacy and small business development services.
The third and southernmost building will house the Park Villas Apartments property
management office, and a variety of community -serving office and retail uses. The Park Villas
daycare center will move out of apartment space and into a new 4,000 square foot building,
freeing up more affordable apartments to rent.
Residential Development
On the east side of the Community Health Center buildings will be the residential structures,
3-story apartment buildings built over a single level of underground parking. The residential
component will include 63 apartments in a mix of 1, 2, and 3-bedroom units affordable to
individuals and families with incomes from 30% to 60% of the Area Median Income.
The development will have 18 one -bedroom units, 21 two -bedroom units, and 24 three -bedroom
units. The 63 apartments and related facilities, including the management office, maintenance
room, community room including kitchen facilities, computer center, library, and services offices,
will total approximately 64,316 square feet, for a total development of 83,116 square feet. The
maximum residential density allowed in the MXC-1 zone is 48 units per acre. With the affordable
housing density bonus, 95 units are allowed on the 1.47-acre Purple Cow site. The focus of this
development is creating a positive living environment rather than maximizing density.
Parking
All parking for tenants, staff and visitors on the Purple Cow site will be in the single level of
underground parking. Tenants, staff and visitors on the Park Villas property will use a surface
parking lot.
Project Subsidies
As with all affordable housing developments, this project will require a mix of tax credits, grants,
loans, and local contributions to finance the development. The primary source of subsidies will
be Federal Low Income Housing Tax Credits, allocated through the State. Grants are available
for construction of affordable housing through the State of California's Prop 41 Veterans
Housing Funds. A significant local government contribution is required for a competitive Low
Income Housing Tax Credit application. This can be accomplished by a City contribution of the
Purple Cow property to this project through a long-term lease, with payment to the City from
residual receipts. in this way, the City keeps ownership of the land, and receives full payment
over time. A portion of the land value can also be counted toward a New Markets Tax Credit
project equity contribution for the commercial portion of the development.

Notes:
* La Maestra proposes a Tong -term residual receipts ground lease, with the City of National City
contributing the land to the project for the 55-year restricted housing affordability period, while
retaining long-term ownership. Current estimated value of the land is $40.00 per square foot.
Development Team
La Maestra's main location is a three-story, 36,440 square foot, Gold Level LEED-certified

owner -builder of that facility. In addition, La Maestra has experience leasing and outfitting
medical clinic space, as it currently operates three satellite community medical centers, five
dental clinics, and four school -based clinics. To assist with the development of the new medical
space, the additional commercial space, and the affordable housing component, La Maestra
brought in a core team of experienced housing and commercial development specialists, two of
whom were involved in the development of its main medical center on Fairmount Avenue in City
Heights, the development of the adjacent senior apartment project, and the mixed -use
commercial and family apartment building.
