For the Vista Square and Mueller School Peighborhoods

SUBMITTED BY Community Development Director / ~'M
ITEM EXPLANATION (4/5TH'S VOTE REQUIRED YES. NO X )
The Fifth Year Block Grant Program approved by Council includes a housing rehabilitation
loan program for the Vista Square and Mueller School neighborhoods. The intent and
primary goal of this program is to improve and conserve older neighborhoods in order to
maintain their vitality and preclude further deterioration. To accomplish this goal,
a residential rehabilitation loan program will be undertaken in these neighborhoods. As a
compliment to the rehabilitation program and to provide a legal means of compliance
with building codes, the staff is recommending that these neighborhoods be designated
as code enforcement areas. A map of each neighborhood is attached for Council's infor-
mation.
By adopting this resolution, a concentrated code enforcement program for the rehabili-
tation of structures that owners do not undertake voluntarily will be initiated in the
two new areas,-and will continue in the Feaster School neighborhood. Code enforcement
activities in the Norman Park Neighborhood have been completed. During the past three
years, the code enforcement program in Norman Park has resulted in the rehabilitation
of 55 homes. In the meantime, the Feaster area is beginning to build momentum and
should have significant activity in the next 12 months. The two new districts then
should be ablve to merge .into the program without significant impact upon the existing
staff or funding allocated.
