Motion was
2. VETERANS HOME
Lancaster was selected as the site for the next Veterans Home by
offering $15 million in financing. The City offered to put in the
access road and to waive development fees. The City is trying to
come up with a competitive financing plan, in which case the
Commission may select both sites. The final recommendation by the
Governor's Commission will be made on July 1. The City is lobbying
the legislators.
3. BAYSCENE MOBILEHOME PARK ACQUISITION
The City is still negotiating with COACH to become the non-profit
owner and manager, but some significant problems have emerged.
4. PARK VILLAGE APARTMENTS
Five displaced trailer park households have moved into the Park
Village apartments. Three other households have applied and their
applications are still being reviewed. A grand opening is expected
in June.
5. CRAS TIMELINE
.
New HUD regulations require the City to submit a new Comprehensive
Affordability Strategy (CHAS) , utilizing the 1990 census data.
Staff has developed a time1ine for the drafting, review and
approval of the new CHAS. Mr. Casillas requested that the draft
CHAS be submitted to members at least 2 weeks before the July
meeting.
6. SAN DIEGO AFFORDABLE HOUSING COALITION (SDAHC)
South Bay Community Services and SDAHC have acquired a property
with 2 units at Woodlawn and Sea Vale which they intend to rehab
and then sell to 2 low-income families. They are requesting a
$10,000 pre-development loan from the City. If the City provides
HOME funding to the project, then it will probably trigger the
resale restrictions; this could be a problem.
.
MSC (King/Dennison) (4-0-3 Helton (Excused), Delgadillo, Chantengco
Absent) To recommend to the City Council to approve a $10,000 pre-
development loan to SBCS/SDAHC from HOME funds if HUD will waive
the requirement for resale restrictions; or, as an alternative, the
City could loan funds from its CDBG allocation to SBCS.
7. ORAL COMMUNICATION - Mr. Hart Klein introduced himself and
thanked the Committee for not approving the homeless shelter
proj ect . He bel ieves neighborhood opposition is growing. He
distributed written materials to the members and claimed that the
value of the property at 17 and 31 Fourth Avenue has decreased by
20% to 25%, and therefore, SBCS is paying a premium price for both
properties.
8. STAFF COMMENTS - The Council did not approve the $150,000 of
CDBG funding for the short-term housing proj ect because staff
recommended that the Agency provide a similar amount of Housing
Set-aside funds from a completed project.
9. MEMBERS COMMENTS - Alan King announced that he was retiring at
the end of the school year from his job and that he is celebrating
his 40th anniversary.
Glen Googins announced that, at a recent
conference, Craig Meyer of the SDAHC was named
Developer of the Year".

"Affordable Housing
Joe Casillas asked about the status of the at-risk HUD section 236
units. He suggested that tenant ownership, which is being done
with at-risk units in Los Angeles, should be pursued. Staff
explained that SBCS and California Housing Partnership (CHP) , the
City's consultant, are exploring that and other options. Mr.
Casillas requested a report on CHP, including their scope of work
and how much has been spent.
