1978 -79 Community DeveloEE!ent Block Grant Application (CDBG)
Members of the Council:
In this report:, we are forwarding the staff recoilllllendations for:
I. · Palo Alto's 1978-79 Community Development Block Grant Program.
II. Use of $112,000 fo:c a project in Palo Alto's sphere of influence
(unincorporated parts of Stanford University) to be applied for
._by Santa Clara County.
lII. A three-year Community Development Plan for Palo Alto.
IV. The 1978-79 Housing Assistance Plan for Palo Alto.
Items I and II are covered in this report. Items IIt"and IV are attached.
Also attached are:
V. Preliminary environmental assessments for all proposed projects
t~at do not ~lready have environmental clearance.
VI. Copies of all submittals for CDBG funds.
HUD has advised that Palo Alto'& en entitlement for the 1978-79 fiscal year
has been increased f.rom $595,000 to approximately t'319,000. The final Ug.ure
is expecteJ by the end of January but sh~uld vary little, if any, from this
amount, This incr~ase is due to a recent change in the funding formula. In
the past~ the for111ula considered the condition of a city's· housing stock,
\iftcrt'!as the new· formula takes into account: the age of housln~. This variable>
along with growth lag and extent of. poverty, are used to detcrm.i.ne the funding
ruuount.

Staff tecommcnds that Palo Alto's 1978-79 Community Development Block Grant
funds be used as follows:
(l) Palo Alto Citywide RehabiU Lat: ion -a cont·inuation
ar;d ruc.pansion cf the Housing Im~rovement Program
(2) Senior Center renovation
(3) Senior Home Repair Service
(4) Contingency
It 1& recommended that.onp of the following programs be funded .
with CD funds (see pp. 6-7, 84 and 15).
(5) Housing Ac'cruisitlon Program

. ~819,000
The process of reviewing and selecting recommended projects was as follows:
Information packets on the CommunJ.ty Development Program were distri-
buted to all known n~ighborhood organizations, special interest atoups,
managers of subsidized hou~ing developments, and intei:ested individuals.
Two public meetings were adverti&ed in the Palo Alto Timas. Seven
persons attended the first meeting; fifteen attended the second. At
those ro~c~)n~s, the objectives and requirements of the CD progr4m and
ideas for using the graut JIY.)ney were discussed.
Project: ptoposals were submitt.:!'.':d b{ local agencies and orglmizations by
Decemb.~r 2, 197 7. The staff then reviewed all proposals.
The new Housing and Community D~velop~ent Act of 1977 and !ts corresponding
regulat ious have rood i.f 5.ed the o·r ig1oal CD legislation. Some changes add to
the typE'.S of cl1glbie projects (especially in housing); c.thet changes plac~
rest-;-Jc.tions on the c.ompoi:.ltion of nc1ghhorhoods and the.types of projects
~h1c.h can receive funding (e.g., social scrv1ceR). nccausc of the new fend-
ing l fmltatlom:., the number of proposals receive-a has· dec.r~ased from 12 in
past years to only 7 this-~~ar, including the Stanford proposal.

The entire list of projects proposed and the amount requested by each applicant
is:
(1) Palo Alto City-wide Rehabilitation (continuation)--$300,000, submitted
bv Public Works Department.
(2) Senior CP.nter--$90,000, submitted by Senior Cooroin~ting C~uncil.
(3) Senior Home Repair Servlce-$20,000, submitted by Senior Coordinating
Council. ~ ·:-~ .f·~
(4) Housing Acquisition Program--$300,000, submiit~d by Palo Alto Housing
Corporation.
(5) Housing Land Bank--$300,000, submitted by Planning Depal·tment.
(6) Monroe Pa~k Street !mprovements--$75~000, submitted by ~.onroe Park
Association.
(7) Curb Cuts and Handicapped Ramps--$42,000, submitted by Stanford
University for sphere of influence funds.
The following criteria were used by staff to eveluate the propcbals:
(1) Does the project meet the primary objectives of the Community Develop-
ment Program:
a. Aid low-moderate income persons;
b. Develop a viable urban community through the elimination of slums
and blight?_
(2) Is the project eligible accordint to stated HUD 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 curr~nt adopted Council p0licies sue}\
as:
a. the adopted Comprehensive Pl'lll;
b. the Capital Improvement Program;
c. other Council-adopted policies?
(4) Does it meet a community need as stated in Palo Alto's CoJJBtUnity
Development Plan?
(5) Regarding funds:
J
CMR:565:7 . 1/19/78

a. Will the amount of CD funds that can be allocated to the project
be adequdte to have an impact, either with or without other
fund!ng souTces?
b. Will CD funds decide the success of a project?
c. lf other funding sources are to b~ used, are the funds av3ilablr?
d. Can the project go forward in FY 78"779?
(6) Are othe1 substit~te funding sources available, especially those that
ate aimed tll\)r~ specifically at this trpe of project?
(7) Will the projec~ lead to future commiti:ients.tr. operating costs?
The above staff evaluation ~ssisted in placing priorities on projects, A certain
~mount of subjectivity is inh~rent in analyzing diverse projects with non-quanti-
fiable cYiteria. Most important frcm the staff •s viewpoint wa~ the first criter-
ion: Does the project meet the primaxy objectives of ~he Community Development
Program? Once it could be E:stablished that this criterion was met, a determination
had to be made as to th~ eligibility of the project (the second criterion). Most
projects prop9s~d apoeaTed to be eligible, but not all met the intent of the pro-
gram (criterion 11),
The other criteria relate to funding factors. A number of projects had par~ial
funding or werE: seeking panial fund1ng from O"?tside sources or from the Ctty.
Others were entirely dependent on Community Dev~lopment funds for implementation.
A d~scTiption of all pioject& proposed, the application of the criteria to them,
and the reasons for the staff's recommenda~ions are summarized in the following
section.
1. Palo Alio City-wide Rehabilitation
CMR:565:7
Staff reco:mnends $300~000 be ma.de available to continue and expand
the City's currenL Housing lmprov&~ent Program. It is proposed that
the focus of the Pr~g(am shift from specific neighborhoods to a city-
wide efiort. New HUD r~gulat1ons (as they are currently proposed)
will allow for city-wide rehabilitation ~ith the condition that all
Tecipie.nts outsit:le of target neighborhoods be "low/moderate income."
Thus a city-wt.de program allows the City to open up its program to
all low and modcrCt.te income homeowners. Such a program. also fully
meets the intent ~nd objectives of the CD Act to provide program&
which."principally serve low and moderate income persons.11
The housing rehab1Utat10.1 staff, in working with the College Terrace
neighborhood, has found it increasingly difficult to secure enough
applications hom low or moderate income re&idents to permit a full
scale rehabilitation program.

1/19/78
• .t • . ..
• •
Under the present Houstng Improvement ProgTam,·HUD requires a minimum
ot ~1 pe1~ent of the recipients in a neighborhood to be low or moderate
incom(:. Modii1c.atlcn of the Housing Imptovement Prcgram to a city-wide
effort wculd a!lvw all low 01 modecate income residents to take advan-
tage ot tht progrdm. This city-wide effort would continue to serve
those low oc moderat~ in~ome rebidents in College Terrace and Pepper-
We&t Me&do~ who desize to participate in the program.
The $300,000 would p1ovide for a-1978-79 Revolving Loan Fund for
hou&ing rt:habilication. Apptoximately thin:y houses could be rehabili-
t~ted with these funds. Program administration for the pre.sent 2.5
perEoon &taff wculd b.o: paid from unexpended 1977·-78 Housing Improvement
Progtam carry-over funds. The loan p~ofile (attached to the proposal)
provides a review of loans alrea:ly approved and those pendirag. The
rehab program is implementing Policies 2 and 5 end Program 8 in the
Housing Sec..tion of thE: Comprehens.tve Plan anc:l has assisted the City in
me~ting its Housing Assistance Plan objectives.
2. Senior CeoL~c
Staff rec.omm~nds $90, 000 be made available for the continued·
renovation of the "old police-fire building" for a senior
center~ 1he City has c.utrenc.ly connnit;ted $100,000 to this project
(in addition to leasing the structure to the Senior Coordinating
Council). lhe requested CD funds are to be used for site development
and landscaping associated with the builciing site ($60,000) and
r,,novation of the ai>andon€:d ga.cage on the premis~s for a "fix-it" shop
($30,000). As thei1 proposal indicated, the Senior Coordinating
Counttl already has xaiaed $1,043,000 (including the $100,000 of CD
fund:r.) o! the $1,200,000 requized for the c.ompleted project. The
Senior Centet meets the objectives of the CD Act in that it would
aid 111any lcw and modexate income elderly persons, and construction or a Senior Center is specifically aligible under the CD program..
3. Seniol H~m~ Repatr Service
CMR:5b!:i:7
Staff re~omm~nds $20,000 be.made avatlable to supplement the City's
cun .:ot grant to the Sc.nior Coordinating Council for the ad!ninis-
tn.t..ion of chi.s progr.u1i, The program ii;; designed to provide minor
hc,111e r~pcd1 &t!rvic.:& ($200 max1mttlii per job} to Senior home owners
1n th~ City wno h~ve low jn~omes and currently cannot affoyd the
cust& of these sei:vic;es. $15,000 is being provi<lec:i from the City's
General Fund• (ot which $1,000 is tor administration). There is a
De~d ior <JO ioc:eased entitlement to meet the gcowing need. This
prClposal is c;,n E!llgible program and muets a number of objectives of
t.h~ CD legislal:l.on. lt should be noted, however, that CD .funds cannot
b~ u5e~ to replace th~ City's on-going effort ($15,000) but o~ly to
bupplt=mt:!nt t.h~ p1ogcc1llls's funding.

l
Of the following two programs, staff recommends that only one be funde1 with
$380,000 of CD funds. Both housing programs have merit but staff feels that
proportioning the funds benreen these two programs would severely impede the
effectiveness of each. Both programs are eligible under HUD's guidelines,
and both meet the Jncent of t.he CD Act. A brief description and assessment
of each follows.
4. Housing Acquisition Program
In April of 1974. this concept was presented to the City Council
and was proposed to ha implemented by a "sub-col'poration" of the
Palo Alto Housing Corpor~tion. PARC would acquire, rehabilitate
(if necessary), and tent existing housing in Palo Alto. 'fhese
rental units would be managed by the Santa Clara County Rousing
Authority (which has expressed a willingness to do so). CD funds
would be used for down pdyme.nts, clos:l.ng costs, and any expenses
incurred in finding suitable units for purchase. These units
wo:.ild "assist in providlng and pi:esei:ving the Tental housing
supply for persons of low and moderate income." All units would
be self-supp~rting because rents would be set at fair market
prices and Section 8 subsidies would be obtained for eligible tenants.
The p~oposed new CD regulations allow the use of CD funds for this
purpose and also perm.it private non-profit agencies to implement
such programs. No~ only does this ~~ogram meet the intent of the
legislation but also would assist. the City in meeting Housing
P~ogram 21 of the adopt.ed Comprehensive Plan.
Although the merits of the program are quite evident, there are a
number of issues which must be resol-ied to insur.a the success of
the program:
a. There is a questic.n whether HUD's property a.c.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 "interi.t to acquire" prior to the ac_q'1isition.
Such a procedure would produce a majot barrier to property
acquisi~ion in Palo Alto.
b. Th~re is a question as to whether the City or the PAHC (or both
or neither) would have the responsibility t:o relocate those
residing in the units acquired. (Relocation is costly.)
c. Although not the ptim~ry proble.tll, there remains a question as
to whether there ate suitable unJts available for purchase.
If these issues can be resolved, it is projected that $380,000 in
the Housing Acquisit.ion Program could purchase from 40 to 70
rental units at nn approximate cost of $1,500,000 (base.d Ol\ a 20%
downpayment). --

5. ~o~s1ng Land Bank
'.l'.'his pre.gram has proven successful (Lytton Gardens I and II, Webster
Block aud tne Power Parcel), and Program 15 of the Comprehensive
Plan c.allii ..tc-r lhe "cont1nuat:ion of the Land Bank Program for pur-
chasing parcels tor housing development for low-moderate income
families and beniors.n This program has been well rectlved by HUD,
for it mE:tt:s th•~ intent and objectives of the CD Act. The Santa
Clara Cc.unty Hm.1~iog Task Force Report--Housing: A Call for Action
(Oclotler, 1977} rec.eommends that "local public revenues and Community
Development Block Gtdnl Funds should be extensively used for land-
hankin6'' (p. 13).
The landbanking program adds to the housing aupply, whereas the
"Housing AcquiE<ition Program:; ma.intains existing housing. There-
fore, although landbanking has been successful, its impact on
hcusing low income households would not be as immediate as the
Hous1ng Acquisition Program. Likewise, there js always the uncer-
tainty ryf the availability of a suitable parcel--where, whe~, and
how much. As was ttue in the City's earlier acquisitions, HUD's
acquisition and relocation procedures would apply.
6. Monroe Park Street Improvements
PART IL
Staff is ~ot rec.ommend1ng the $75,000 requested by the Monroe Park
Assoc1ation fox installation of street improvements on a short
section of Monroe Drive. Although street improvemen~s are sn eligible
item under the CD r6gulations, staff ~ust base its recommendations on
the eligib1li~y of the neighborhood (low/moderate income) and the
City's past funding practices for such projects. First, neither the
1970 Census nor the 197S Sant •• Cla-ra County Census reveal the neigh-
bochood to be "low/modei:ate income.11 Because HUD also utilizes the
Census :tor its inc.ome data, the City would need to substantiate in
some other way Lhat the residents were indeed low or moderate income.
S~Londly, it i& the city's policy to finance street improvements
t:h1ough the formation .:>f assessment districts.
Detailed Pruject De~~Tiption -Sphere of lnfluence (Stanford University)
·~curb Cuts and Handicapped ~am~
Staff recomm~nds the use of the approximate sum of $42,000 to continue
Stdntord 1s piojeLl tor:
CHR:565:7
(1) Co~struct1on of curb cuts to assist in the mobility of persons
1n wheel~hairs; and
1
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 access will be improved include Memorial Auditorium,
Dinkelspiel Auditvrium, Hoover Tower, Cubbcrley Auditorimn, Tresidder
Union, the Post Office and the Book.~tore.
Staff, as in the past, di.scussed 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 ne~d6. Projects directed to the
"te:noval of material ac.d architectural barriers which restrict the mobility
and accesi::.ibility of elderly and handicapped persons" are specifically
eligible. Stanford has restricted its project pToposal to areas and build-
ings thaL are used by the general public, as opposed to those that just
serve Stanford students and staff.
PART Ill,
Community Development Plan
Attached to this report is a proposed 3-year COlllJllunity De··elopment Plan,
w~ich must accompany the City's application for Community Development
Block Grant funds to meet HUD requirements. This is to be "a SU!Dil1ary of
'1 three-year plan which idP-ncifies community development needs, demon-
strates a comprehensive strategy for meeting those needs, and specifies
both short and long-te11n community development objectives ••• "
In preparing the 1975-76 grant application, staff thoroughly studied all
City goals, policies, and ptogra:ms and incorporated th2m into a thzee-
year plan. The Council adopted the Plan. Essentially tne 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-y~ar plan makes no toajor changes from the Plan approved last
year. The Commuoity Development Plan describes nine areas of need and
a brief Slmllll3ry of related objectives.
PART IV~
Housing Assistance Pl:!n
Also attached is the proposed 1978-79 Housing Assistance Plan which must
be sumbitted with the appHcation 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 annual goal plus a three-year goal for the number
of clJelling units or persons to be assisted, stating the relative propor-
tion of new, rehabilitated and existing dwelling units.

jncluded in the 1978-79 CD Pibgram;
(3) 1'hat staff be suthorized to submit an application to HUD including
the ~978-79 CD Program, the 1978-79 CD Plan, and the 1978-79 HAP;
.... :.
(4} That staif be authorized to submit a project, consisting of removal
of architectural barriers to the handicapped on the Stanford campus,
to Santa CJ.ara County for the County to include in its CD appli-
cation.

IV. 1978-79 HOUSING ASSlSTANCE PLAN
Background
Submissicn oi .a Housing Assistance Plon .is required as part of the Com-
munity Development Block Grant applicatior.. The -Plnn must include:
a survey of the condition of the housing stock in the comto.unity;
an estimate of the housing assistance needs of lower-income house-
holds;
realistic annual·and three-year goals for the number of dwelling
units or households to be assisted; and
an indication of the general locatioos for new and substantially
rehabilitated assisted housing •
. The purpose of the Plan is thre~fold. First. the federal government
wants to insure that communities become involved in assessing their
h~using needs and setting goals for filling these needs. Once set, the
needs and goals serve the·second purpose which is co.provide the U. S.
Department of Housiag and Urban Development with a guide for use in
·allocating housing assistance funds to local CQIWllunit:l.es. Finally, the.
·Housing Assistance Plan will·be used by HUD to evaluate individual
proposals for federal housing assistance; HUD '!Jill approve only those
·. housing proposals which are ccnsistent with the adopted Housing Assistance
Plan. IlUD will determine if a proposal is .consistent by checking the
n1;1111ber, size, type and location of the proposed units against the number,
. size, type and location goals set by the comnrunity in its Rousing Assis-
tanc.e Plan.
Condition of.the Housing Stock
-.;~ Since Palo Alto adopted its 1977 Housing 'Assistance Plan, the total number
of houi:;ing units has increased by about 200 to 23,600 units. Palo Alto
remains a predom~nantly single-family community (2/3 of the units are
single-family houses) in which juot over half of the housing is owner-
occupled,
There is a grea~er demand for housing than can be met in Palo Alto1 which
};as led to high housing costs and low vacancy rates.. Ttae median house
va~ue iaabout $62,000 3;nd the median rc.nt for· an apartment is about $240.
Despite ~he high costs, the overall vacancy rate in Palo A1to is und~r 2%.
About 3% of Palo Alto~s housing is estimated to be physically substandard.
Substandard units are predominantly older rental units. There are, however,
a signif1cant number of owner-occupied un!ts.whic~ are also in need of sub-
. -· etantial rt:hahU1t.atlon. · ... ·.-"'

U&e of 1975-76~ 1976-77, and 1977-78 Community Development Bleck Grant
funds for a housing rehabilitation progrma in the Pepper-West Meadow
neighborhood was aimed at encouraging rehabilitation 1n an area where a
significant amount of rehab1i1tat1on activity might not otherwise occur.
Th~ first, second and part of the third years' funds have been used to
Yehabilitate more ~ban 40 units having major code violations in this
neighborhood. At this ti.met all of the units have been ownez-occup1ed.
The remaincier of the third year's !unds are being used to rehabilitate
about 30 units in College TerTace, also O~"ller-occupied.
Condition of Feder~lly-Assisted Housing
HUD has required that information on the condition of low-~ent public
housing and HlTD-in&ured subsidized multi-family housing also be included
in the 1978Housing Assistance Plan, The 48 privately-owned units now
leased by the County Rousing Authority under the Section 8 program, the
Section 23 program and the Palo Alto Piggyback Program are required by
Council Resolution 4062 to "meet and comply with all Palo Alto Municipal
Code provisions relative to building and health standards in existence
at the time the initial lease is executed.11
·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
c:ondit:ion. The vacancy rate 1n eac.h development is negligible and all
have waitinr lists of cvo year& or 11:0re. Of the 615 units available for
eligible tenants, 801 are reserved for the elderly and/or handicapped.
Housing Assistance Needs
Detailed information from the 1970 Census indicates that in 1970, 3600
Palo.Alto households (over 15% of the total) fit the federal standards
for lower income and were living in inadequate housing conditions, that
is:
occupying units lacking some or all plUIDbing;
occupying units D1Cre than 30 years old and valued at less than
$10,000;
with more than 1.25 persons ver Toom; or
paying -.X>re than 25% of their income for rent.
Since 1970, 366 unJts of assisted housing for elderly or handicapped and
131 units for general occupancy have been built in Palo Alto. Rental of
privately-owned existing units through Section 8, Seccion 23 and the
Piggyback Program provides adequate housing for an additional 48 house-
holds, most of whom are cldetly. An additional 185 lower-income
Palo Alto households have been assisted this past year through the
• • •
Page 3
new Section 8 Program in privately-owned existing units. T3k1ng into
account these assisted units provided since 1970. a reasonable estimate
of housing assistance needs Jn Palo Alto j,u 1977 is:
800 elderly or handicapped households
l3ov i~dividuals and families of four or fewer persons
60 large f am1.lies of five or more persons
This totals about 2160 Palo Alto households in need of housing assistance.
Annual and Thr~e-Year Housing Assistance Goals
Palo Alto's 1978-79 housing assistance goals fot assisted new and existing
units are based on what are seen as realistic, achievable expectations.
This curre~t y~ar, we should see the 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 Cotmty Hov~1ng Authori~y provides Palo Alto
with an annual allocation of Section 8 Jnits.
In all new assisted family housing develop.DU:!nts, at least ~0% of the units
should be built to accommodate large families.
This past year, HUD provided an additional allocatiOll of 145 Section 8
subsidies to Palo Alto. These subs:idies wex·e p:tovided in the Lytton
Gardens, Arastradero Park and Coiorado Park ·developments. It is hoped
that additional or bonus subsidies of this type ~ill be forthcoming in
the upcoming year.
Over the three-year period, housing· assistance vill be allocated in
Palo Alto in close proportion to the needs summarized above. The propor-
tions are 30% elderly and/or handicapped, 55% families, 15% large fami-
lies. Because of the low vacancy rate, a ~ix of new and ex~sting housing
will be assisted.
Loca~ions fot New Assisted Bou~1ng
In assessing appiopri~~e locations for new assisted housing, availability
of sites is the major constraint. Should a Land Sank and/or Housing
Alqu1sit1on Pzogram be 1mpiemented, sites should be lndivid~lly eval-
uated as to their suitability for family and elderly oi.: handicapped
housing on the baJ>is of proximity to services and employment, envb:on-
mental factorsa zoning, land use, low 1nc0i.:e concentration and size of
possible development.

Environmental Asscssme~ts
Seven projects have been proposed for ·en 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 sif,Tl~fi~ont. Therefore, n~ full environmental impact reports would
be necessary, and a negative declaration may be made for each project that
is chosen.
After the final selection of projects is made, more complete environmental
review records will be prepared for these ,chosen_ projects.·
