A parcel bought by the Manteca Redevelopment Agency at 282 North Airport Way for a 10-unit affordable house project could end up being seized and sold by the state to help reduce California’s budget deficit.

At least that’s one scenario being pursued by some legislators now that RDAs have had their plugs pulled by the state leaving undeveloped property among the assets to deal with.

The Manteca City Council on Tuesday will discuss the Airport Way parcel as it ponders whether to assume housing assets and functions previously handled by the RDA.

If Manteca’s leaders opt to take over the housing functions, the city may have to absorb at least $47,000 in annual administrative costs to keep the programs under local control.

The Airport Way property is a bit different than the other assets that the city is considering retaining control over. That’s the deal that lead to the property being bought by the RDA to develop 10 units of affordable housing for mentally challenged adult for independent living through Satellite Housing fell through. The property was transferred back to the agency.

The agency also owns land at 2030 North Union Road where the Almond Terrace Apartments were built. The city leases the land to Eden Housing for $1 a year as part of the deal that allowed low-income senior apartments to be built.

The RDA also has $24 million invested in various housing assistance programs that require periodic monitoring.

They include $518,528 involved in the rehab of the HOPE Shelter, $10,000 for a Habit for Humanity project, $1.4 million for owner participation agreements , $1.8 million for down payment assistance, $278,934 in residential rehab loans, $90,000 for the first-time homebuyer program, $2.5 million the Mid-Peninsula Housing Coalition project in the planning process at Airport Way and Woodward Avenue, $2.5 million for the Eden Housing purchase and rehab of the Union Court Apartments, $1.6 million for Eden Housing’s Almond Terrace project, $750,000 for Afford Housing’s senior housing project between North Main and Grant Street behind Dribble’s  Car Wash, $66,000 in outstanding senior rehabilitation loans, and $12,760,00 for the workforce apartment construction now underway for the 152-unit Bellagio Apartments.

The council meets at 7 p.m. at the Civic Center, 1001 W. Center St.
