1978 -79 Community Development Blo~k Grant Applic;._ation (CDBG)
Hc.mbers of the Council:
In this report, we are forwa:rding the staff recommendations for:
I. · Palo Alto's 1978-79 Community Development Block Grant Program.
II. Use of $li2,000 fo£ a project in Palo Alto's sphere of influence
(unincorporated parts of Stanford University) to be applied for
.. by Santa Clara County.
111. A three-year Community Development Plan for Palo Alto.
IV. The 1978-79 Housing Assistance Plan for Palo Alto.
Items I and II &re covered in this report. Items III ··and IV are at:tached.
Also &ttached are:
V. Preliminary environmental assessments for all proposed projects
t~at do not ~tready have environmental clearance.
VI. Copies of all submittals for CDBG funds.
Availabl~ Funds
HUD has advis£d that-Palo Alto'& CD entitlement for the 1978-79 fiscal year
has been increased from $595,000 to approximately $819,000. The final figure
is expect!.>.J by the end of January but sh('luld vary little, if any, from this
a1Uount. This increase is due to a recent change in the funding formula. In
the past, thn formula considered t:he condition of a city• s housing stock, ·
\ifH?l"P.as t.he new formula takes into account the age of bousim;. This variable,
nlons with growth lag and extent of poverty, are used to determine the fu".1ding
amount.
In ·ad<lilion, Palo Alto is ngain el:l.giblc to receive CD. fonds through Santa
Cfrru Cr.-unty's npplication for the \!nincorporated portion of Pnlo Alto1 s
st~hcrt! of infh1c~lcc, Stnnfo)'.'d University is the only major, populated,

The process of reviewing and selecting recommended projects vas as follows:
Information packets on the Communlty Development Program were distri-
buted to all known neighhoYhood OYganizations, special interest gtoups,
managers of subsidized hou~ing developments, and intexested individuals.
'l\70 public meeting::> were advertise:d !~1 the Palo Alm Times. Seven
p~rsons attended the first meeting; fifteen attended the second. At
those meet.lnr,s, the objectives and requirements of the CD progr;:im and
ideas for using the grant money were discussed.
Project pt·oposals wete submic.t.:!:!d by" local agencies and org.anization:S by
Dccembgr 2, 19}7. The sta!f then reviewed all proposds.
The new Housing and Community Development Act of 1977 and its corresponding
regulations have mod i.f ied the original CD legislation. Some changes add to
the typ~s of cllgibie proJccts (especially in housing); othet-changes place
r~st~lctions on the compo~ition of nc1ghhochoods and the types of projects
\.:'hlch can receive funding (o.r.., socrnl services). Because of t:h<: new flrd-
ing lfmltatlon&, the numbcz of proposals received ha& decreased from 12 l
past years to only 7 thi5~y~ar, including the Stanford proposal.

The following cr!ter!a were used by stsff to evaluate the prop~~als:
(1) Does the project meet the primary objectives of the Comnunity Develop-
ment Program:
a. Aid low-moderat~ income persons;
b. Develop a viable urban community through the elimination of slums
and blight?_
(2) Is the project eligible according to stated mJD criteria? Are there
any HUD requirements that would pr.event use of funds in this way
(e.g., facilities must be open to pub~ic)?
(3) Is the project consistent with c11nt:nt adopted Council policies sue~
as: ~-
a. the adopted Comprehensive Plan;
b. the Capital Improvement Program;
c. other Counc11-ad¢pted policies?
(4) Does it meet a coJ:llllunity need as stated in Palo Alto's ColllJtUllity

a. Will the amour.t of CD funds that can be allocated to the project
be adequate to have an impact, either with or without other
funding sourcesi
b. Will CD funds dec1de the success of a project?
c. If other funding sources are to be used, are the funds av3ilable?
d. Can the project go forward in FY 7 8-:79?
(6) Are.othex substitute funding sources available, especially those that
ate 6imed more specifically at this trpe of project?
(7) Will the projec~ lead to future commitL1ents ·to operating costs?
The above staff evaluation c:.ssi:;ted in placing priorities on projects. A certain
amount of subjectivity is inhetent in analyzinf. diverse projects with non-quanti-
fiable criteria. Most important frcm the staff's viewpoint was the first criter-
ion: Does the project meet the primary objectives of the Conununity Development
Program? Once it could be escablish9d that this criterion was met, a determination
had to be made as to th~ eligibility of the project (the second criterion). Most
projects proposed appeaYed to be eligible, but not all met the intent of the pro-
gram {criterion #1).
The other cr1teria relat~ to funding factors. A number of projects had par~ial
funding or were aeeking pan ial fund1ng from ot,tside sources or from the City.
Others were entirely dependent on Community ve;.;1 opment funds for implementation.
A d~scription of all ptojects proposed, the application of the criteria to them,
and the reasons for ~he staff 1 s recommendations are summarized in the following
section.
1. Palo Alio City-wide Rehabilitation
CMR:56~:7
Staff recommends $3004 000 be made available to continue and expand
the City's curren~ Housing lmprove.i1ent Program. It is proposed that
the focus of the Pr~g~am shift from specific neighborhoods to a city-
wide efiort. Ne:w HUD r~gulations (aa they are currently proposed)
will allow for ~icy-wide rehabilitat~on wlth the condition that all
recipients out.sJ.(fi: of target neighborhoods be "low/mooerate income."
Thus d clty-w1de pr.ogram allows the City co open up its program to
all low and modt.ra.te income homeowners. Such a program also fully
meets the intent &nd objectives of the CD Act to provide programs
which.11pr-incipally :Serve low and moderate income persons.u
The housing rehabilitation st.aff, in working with the College Terrace
neighborhood, has found 1t increasingly difficult to secure enough
11pplications f!:om low or moderate income residents to permit a full
scale rehabilitation program.

1/19/78
.,
. " •
• •
Under the pc·es£nt Housing lmp1ovement PTogram; HUD requires a minimum
ot 51 pcic~nt of the reciplents in a neighborhood to be low or moderate
1ncom~. Mod1ilc.atlon of the Housing Improvement Prcgram to a city-wide
effort would allGw all low or moderate income residents to take advan-
tage ol th~ progrdm. This c1ty-w1~e effort would continue to serve
those low oc moderal.:: income ref:>idents in College Terrace and Pepper-
WeE.t Me~dow who desire to participate in the program.
The $3(1(1,000 would provide for a-1978-79 Revolving Loan Fund for
housing r~habilicat1on. Approximately thirty houses could be rehabili-
tated with these funds. Program administration for Lhe present 2.5
pet~on &taff would b.: paid from unexpended 1977·~78 Housing Improvement
I! rog.r am carry-over f .. ¥ "is, The loan profile (attached to the proposal)
provides a review of leans already approved and those pending. The
rehab program is implementing Policies 2 and 5 and Program 8 in the
Rousing Section of th£:: Comprcbens.1ve Plan anc\ has assisted the City in
me~ting its Housing Assistance Plar .. objectives.
2. Senior Cent~r
Staff recomm~nds $90,000 be made ava1lablP. for the continued'
.renovation of t.he 11old plllice-fire building" for a senior
center~ the City h3s currently committed ~100,000 to this project
(in addition to leasing the structure to the Senior Coordinating
Council). The requested CD funds are to be used for site development
and landscaping associated with the building si~e ($60,000) and
r,..no".tation oi the ahandoned gatage on the premis"!s for a "fix-it" shop
($30,000). As lheit proposal indicated, the Senior Coordinating
Counttl already has taised ~l,043,000 (including the $100,000 of CD
fund:tt) of the $1,200,000 requized for the c.ompleted project. The
Seoi.or Center meets tbe object.i·ves of the CD Ac.t in that it would
aid a.any lcw and mude~ate income elderly persons, and construction
of a Senior Center is specifically ~ligible under the CD program.
3. Stinioi H.1mt: Repair Service
CMR:56~:7
Staff re~omm~nds $20,000 be made available to supplement the City's
cun t>nt grant Lo the Sc,n"ioT Coordinating Cour,cil for the ad:nfnis-
t.£:.t.ion oi ,-b16 program, The p-rogram is designed to provide ~i.'lor
h<1me c t-pah e.l<!rvice& ($.WO ma:x1mwr. pe1-job) to Senior home owners
in th~ City wno have low incomes and curr.ently cannot affotd the
cust& of the~e s~:vices. $1S,000 is being provi<lea from the City's
Ceneral Fu~do (of which $7,000 is ~or administration). There is a
ne*"d im CJO lOCteased entit.lement to meet the gtowing need. This
pr~posal is an eligible program and aeets a number of objectives of
th~ fD legislation. It should be noted, however, that CD funds cannot
b~ osed to replace the City's on-going effort ($15,000) b~t ~nly to
t.up~lt:Oltrnt t.ht? ptograms '.s funding.

1/19/78
• •
Of the following two progtams, staff recommends that only one be funde1 with
$380,000 of CD funds. Both housi~g programs have merit but staff feels that
proportioning the funds berween these two programs would severely impede the
effectiveness of each. Both progra::ns are eligible under HUD's guidelines,
and both meet the lnt~nc of the CD Act. A brief description and assessment
of each follows.
4. Housing Acquisition Progr-am
In April of 1974, this concept was prese.nted to the City Council
and was proposed to be J.lllple"mer.ted by a "sub-corporation" of the
Palo Alto Housing Corpor2tion. PARC would acquire, rehabilitate
{if necessary), and tent existing housing in Palo Alto. These
rental units would be managed by the Santa Clara County Housing
Authority (which has expressed a willingness to do so). CD funds
·would be used fot down payme.nts. closi.ng costs, and any expenses
incurred in finding suitable units for purchase. These units
'WOJld "assist in providing and preserving the rental housing
supply for persons of low and moderate inc.ome.11 All units would
be self-suppQrting because rents would be set at fair market
prices and Section 8 subsidies would be obtained for eligible tena.:its.
The ptoposed new CD regula~ions allow the use of CD funds for this
purpose and also permi~ private non-prof it agencies to implement
such programs. Not only does this ~~ogram meet the intent of the
legislation but also would assist the City in meeting Housing
Program 21 of the adop~ed Compreher.sive Plan.
Although the merits of the program are quite evident, there are a
numbe~ of issues which must be resol~ed to insur~ the success of
the program:
a. There is a question 'Whethet HUD's property ac.quisition poli-
cies apply to the purchase of these units, although the units
would not be purchased directly by the City. HUD requires a
90 day notice of ninter,t to acquire" prior to the ac_qµisition.
Such a procedute would produce a majoz barrier to property
acquisition in P&lo Alto.
b. Th~re is a question as to whether the City or the PARC (or both
or nei~her) would have the re_sponsibility t:o relocate those
residing in the units acquired. (Relocation is costly.)
c. Although not the pt.imary problem, there remains a question aa
to whethet there aze suitable units available for.purchase.
If these issues can be resolved, it is projected that $380,000 in
the Housing Acquisition Program could purchase from 40 to 70
rental units at an appioxima~e cost of ~l,500,000 (based on a 20%
downpaym-=nt).

5. ~o~sing Land Baok
'.'l.'his pic.gram has proven successful (Lytton Gardens I and II, Webster
Block and the Power ParceJ), and Program 15 of the Comprehensive
Plan c.all.s .tc·r the "continuation of the Land Bank Program for pur-
chasing parcels tor housing development for low-moderate income
families and ~eniors." This program has been well received by HUD,
for it mt:t:t:s th•! intent and obJectives of 'lie CD Act. The Santa
Clara Cc.unty Ho'J~ing Task Fo-rce Report--Housing: A Call for A<:tion
(October, 1977) recommer,ds that "local public revenues and Comm.unity
Development Blo~k Grant Funde should be e~teasively used for land-
harikiog" (p. 73).
Th~ landbanking progral!l adds to the housing aupply, whereas the
"Hous111g Acqui£0.1tion Program" ma.i.ntains existing housing. There-
fore, although landbanking has been successful, its impact on
hcusing low inc.ome households would not be as immediate as the
Housing Acquisition Program. Likewise, there i.s always the uncer-
tainty ~! the availability of a suitable parcel--where, when, and
how much. As was true 1n the City's earlier acquisitions, HUD 1 s
acquisition and relocation ~rocedures would apply.
6. Monroe Park Street Improvements
PART II.
Staff is not recommending the $75,000 requested by the Monroe Park
Association for installation of street improvements on a sh~rt
section of Mom:oe Drive. Although street improvement.a are li?l eligible
item under the CD regulations, staff ~ust base its recommendations on
the eligibilit.y of the neighborhood (low/moderate income) and the
City's past funding practices for such projects. FirsL; neither the
1970 c~nsus nor the 197S Santa Clara County Census reveal the neigh-
borhood to be "low/moderate income." Because HUD also utilizes the
Census tor its inc.ome data, the City would need to substantiate in
some other way t.hat the residents "'ere indeed low or modenue income.
SeLondly, it i& the City's policy to finance street improvements
t:h1ough the formation of assessment districts.
Detailed Projett Desctlption -Sphere of Influence {Stanford University)
··curb Cuts and Hc.ndic:apped _gaml?~
Staff recommends the use of the approximate sum of $42,000 to continue
Stant~rd's projeLt for:
(1) Construction of curb cuts to assist in the mobility of persons
1n wheel~hairs; and
1
CMR:56!>:7 1/l.9/78
..
• • •
(2) Provision of ramp access for handicapped and elderly individuals
in buildings of public ass~bly.
Curb cuts will continue to be made in the high density areas of the campus.
The buildings in which acc.ess will be impro'led include Memorial Auditorium,
Dinkelspiel Aud1torium, Hoover Tower, Cubberley Auditorium, Tresidder
Union, the Post Off ice and the Book.~tore.
Staff, as in the past, dlscussed proposals with the Stanford staff but
could find no other project proposals that would fit both the require-
ments of the CD Act and Stanford's needs. Projects directed to the
"r~oval of ms.terial and architectural barriers which restrict the mobiiity
and accessibility of elderly and handicapped persons" are specifically
· eligible. Stanford has restricted its project proposal to areas and build-
ings tha~ are used by the general public, as opposed to those that just
serve Stanford students and staff.
PART Ill.
f_ommunity Development Plan
Attached to this report is ~ proposed 3-year Community De .. elopment Plan,
which must accompany the City's application for Community Development
Block Grant funds to meet HUD requirements. This is to be "a summary of
a three-year plan which id1=mtifies community development needs, demon-
strates a comprehensive strategy for meeting those needs, and specifies
both short and long-term community development objectives •• ,n
In preparing the 1975-76 grant application, staff thoroughly studied all
City goals, policies, and programs and incorporated them into a three-
year plan. The Council adop~ed the Plan. Essentially t~e same Plan was
adopted in 1976-77. That Plan was updated f~r 1977-78 to incorporate
goals, policies and programs of the Comprehensive Plan. The currently
proposed 3-year plan makes no tBajor changes from the Plan approved last
year. The Community Development Plan describes nine areas of need and
a brief summary of related objectives.
PART IV~
.!!fiusing Assistauce Plan
Also attached is the proposed 1978-79 Housing Assistance Plan which must
be sunibltted with the appUcation for block grant: funds. The Housing
Assistance Plan must include a survey of the condition of housing stock
in the community, an estimate of the housing needs of lower income per-
sons, and a realistic &nnual goal plu& a three-year goal for the number
of dwelling units or persons to be assisted, stacing the relative propor-
tion of new, rehabilitated and existing dwelling units.

IV. 1978-79 HOUSING ASSISTANCE PLAN
Background
a survey of the condition of the housing stock. in the cominunity;
an estlliate of the housing assistance needs of lower-income house-
holds;
• realistic annual· and three-year goals for the nU?D.ber of dwelling
units or households to be ae~isted; and
an indication of the general locations for new and substantially
rehabilitated assisted housing •
. The purpose of the Plan is thre~fold. First, the federal government
wants to insure that coll!ll1unities become involved in assessing th~1r
h~using needs and setting goals for filling these needs. Once set, the
needs and goals serve the·second purpose which is to.provide the U. S.
DepaYtment of Housing and Urban Develcpment with a guide for use in
·allocating housing assistance funds to local cQtlll!luoiU.es. Finally, the
· · Housing A;;sist:ance Plan will ·be used by HUD to evaluate 1nr.UvidusJ.
proposals for federal housing assistance; HUD will approve only those
housing proposals which a~e consistent with che adopted Housing Assistance
Plan. BUD will determine if a proposal is -consistent by checking the
n~ber, size, type and location of the proposed units against the number,
. size, type a.nd location goals set: by the cQmmunity in its Rousing Assis-
tant.e Plan.
Condition of the Housing Stock
'-"'~ Since Palo Alto adopted its 1977 Housing ·Assistance Plan, the total number
of hou:;dng units has increased by about 200 to 23,600 units. Palo Alto
remains a pre<lom1nantly single-family community (2/3 of the units are
single-family houses) in which juGt over half of the housing is owner-
occupled.
There is a grea~er demand for housing than can be met in Palo Alto, which
has led to high housing costs and low vacancy rates. Tlje median house
va~ue ia about $62,000 ~nd tbe median rent for· an apartment 1s about $240.
Despite the high costs, the ovp,rall vacancy rate in Palo Alto is und~r 2%.
About 3% of Palo Alto's housing is estimated to be physically substandard.
Substandard units ate predominantly older rental units. There are, however,
a signif1cant number of ovncr-occupied units.whic~ are also in need of sub-
.·· standal rchabJ.llt.atlor.. · ....

netghb~rhood was aimed at encouraging rehabilitation in an area where a
significant amount of rehabilitat1on activity might not otherwise occur.
Th~ f~r~t, second and part of the third years' funds have been used to
rehabilitate more -::han 40 units having major code violations in this
ne:lghborhood. At thJ.s time, all of the units have been awner-occupied.
The remainder of the third year's funds are being used to rehabilitate
about 30 units in College Ter~ace, also o~~er-occupied.
Condition of Pederally~Asslsted Housing
HUD has required that information on the condlt.io~ of low-~ent public
housing and HllD-in&ured subsidized multi-family housing als~ be included
in the 1978 Housing Assistance Plan. The 48 privately-owned units now
lea.seJ by the County Rousing Authority under the Section 8 program, the
Section 23 program and the Palo Alto Piggyback ?rogram are required by
Council Resolution 4062 to "tneet and comply with all Palo Alto Municipal
Code provisions rela~ive to building and health standards in existence
at the time the initial lease is executed."
Only one of the five HUD-insured subsidized multi-family housing develop-
ments in Palo Alto is more than five years old, and all are in excellent
condtdon. Tl•e vacancy rate J.L. each development is negligible and all
have waitinf .~ists of two year& oY more. Of the 615 units available for
eligible tenants, 80% are reserved for the elderly and/or handicapped.
Bousing Assistance Needs
Detailed information from the 1970 Census indicates that in 1970, 3600
Palo Alto household& (over 15% of t~~ total) fit the federal standards
for lower income and were living in inadequate housing condi~ions, Lhat
is:
occupying units lacking some or all plumbing;
oc~upying units tllCre than 30 years oli and valued at lees than
$10,000;
-.. with more th~n 1.25 persons per roODl; or
paying more than 25% of their income for rent.
Since 1970, 366 units of assisted housing for elderly or handicapped and
131 units for general occupancy have been built in Palo Alt.o. Rental of
privately-owned existing unit.s through Section 8, Section 23 and the
Piggyback Program pcovides adequate housing for an addi~ional 48 house-
holds, mosL of whom are elderly. An additional 185 lower-income
Palo Alto households httve been assisted this past year through the
• • •
Page 3
new Section 8 Program in privately-owned existing units. T3king into
account these assisted units provided since 1970, a reasonable estimate
of housing assistance needs J.n Palo Alto i,u 1977 is:
800 elderly or handicapped hous~holds
13GC !~dividuals and families of four or fewer person~
60 large families of five or more persons
This totals about 2160 Palo l..lto households in need of housing assistance.
Annual and Tnree-Year Rousing Assistance Goals
Palo Alto's 1978-79 housing assistance goals for assisted new and existing
units are based on what are seen as realistic, achievable expectaticns.
This cu·rrent y9ar, we should see t:he completion of three assisted housing
developments -Lytton Gardens II (100 units), Webster Wood (68 units of
which 58 will be assisted) and Sheridan Apartments (54 assisted units).
In addition. the Santa Clara County Housing Authorhy provides Palo Alto
with an annual allocation of Section 8 units.
In all new assisted family housing developments, at least: 10% of the units
should be built to accommodate large families.
This past year. HtJD provided an additional allocation of 145 Section 8
subsidies to Palo Alto. These subsjdies were provided in the Lytton
Gardens, Arastradero Pa~k and Coiorado Park ·developments. It is hoped
that additional or bonus subsidies of this type will be forthcoming in
the upcoming year.
~er the three-year period, housing· assistance will be allocated in
Palo Alto in close proportion to the needs swmn.arized above. The propor-
tions are 30% elderly and/or handicapped, 55% families, 15% large fami-
lies. Because of ~he low vacancy ra~e, a mix of new and exist:ing housing
will be assisted.
Locat1on.s for New Assist·ed Housing
In as~essing app~opria~e locations for new assisted housing, availability
of-sites is the major constraint._ ShQuld a Land Bank and/or Housing
Alquisition Program. be implemented, sites should be individually eval-
uated as to t.heir suitability for family ..:.nd elderly oi: handicapped
housing on the basis o! proximity to services and employment, envlxon-
iitental factors, zon1ng9 land use1 low 1ncoi.:e concentration and size of
possible development.

Environmental Assessments
Seven projects have been proposed for ·co funding of which five already have
had preliminary environmental assessments. The environmental impact that
would result if any of these projects were implemented has not been found
to be sieni:.fi::ant. Therefore, n" full environmental impact reports t1ould
be necessary, and a negative declaration may be made for each project that
is chosen.
After the iinal selection of projects is made, more complete enviroill'!lcntal
rev1ew records will be prep~red for these _chosen.projects. ·
The two a,ttached environmental asses~maots which have not received prior
clearance are:
