REPORT-IN-BRIEF
The City received 18 CDBG funding requests for the 2005 Program Year (July 1, 2005 through
June, 2006), totaling about $1,995,000. Estimated City CDBG funding for 2005 is $718,829,
approximately $42,000 less than last year's funding. The City can, however, fund more
activities than otherwise possible by allocating a portion of the City's Affordable Housing Fund
and reallocating unspent CDBG funds from previous years. The recommendations are more
comprehensive for project funding, not limited to CDBG; and take advantage of additional
funding sources such as Urban County HOME funds and the AHF. This approach enables most
of this year's funding requests, including: 1) site acquisition for the Housing Authority, 2)
improvements and continued operation of the Homeless Shelter, 3) improved accessibility for
disabled persons at City facilities and on City streets, 4) improvements to the Life Steps Living
Center, and 5) program administration, including funding of the Housing Programs Manager
position. Four requests under Public Services are not recommended for funding since they
exceed HUD's 15 percent cap. These programs have been referred to the City's Grants-in Aid
(GIA) program for possible funding.
The HRC and CAO recommendation differ in one main respect. The HRC recommends funding of
$275,000 for site acquisition by the Housing Authority. The CAO recommends $190,079 for the
Housing Authority site acquisition and $125,000 for rehabilitation of the Southern Pacific Railroad
Freight Warehouse.
The HRC used a figure of about$2,000 less than last year based on a preliminary County estimate.
The more recent County estimate of $42,000 less than last year affected the viability of the
proposed Homeownership Assistance program. The $80,000 the HRC recommended for this
activity is deleted in the CAO recommendation. With the elimination of this program, staff was
able to recognize the approximately $40,000 less in funding this year and add about the same
amount ($40,000) to the Housing Authority site acquisition activity allowing the CAO
recommendation to be raised from $150,000 to $190,079. The good news for the Homeownership
Program is that the City was successful in securing a recommendation from the County for
$250,000 in HOME funds for this activity.
Two requested CDBG activities—People's Self-Help Housing Corporation (PSHHC) and Housing
Authority site acquisition - are proposed to be partially funded by the City's Affordable Housing
Fund. This approach secures funding for affordable housing, while allowing some CDBG money
to remain for necessary Public Works projects. The Housing Authority request for AHF funds is
reviewed and proposed for action in this report — the People's Self-Help project is not timely for
AHF funds and will be reviewed for such once the project has gone through the approval process.
And finally, this agenda report includes the first annual update of the Housing Programs Manager
position.

DISCUSSION
The County has issued a draft Summary One-Year Action Plan and the 5-Year Update of the
Consolidated Plan. The Action Plan, Attachment 4, describes activities proposed for funding by
the entire Urban County, which includes the cities of Arroyo Grande, Atascadero, Grover Beach,
Paso Robles, and San Luis Obispo; and unincorporated San Luis Obispo County, including
CDBG, Home Investment Partnership (HOME) and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) funds, and
program income. The required 30-day public review period has closed and Council may now
take final action on the draft Action Plan and CDBG program. The Board of Supervisors is
tentatively scheduled to act on the Plan in April 2005.
Recent Changes to Funding Picture. This year the Urban County is expected to receive about
$139,311 less than last year. Countywide estimates are $2,717,255 in CDBG funds, $1,700,000
in Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME) funds, and $94,558 in Emergency Shelter
Grant (ESG) funds. The estimated 2005 CDBG allocations for each participating jurisdiction in
the Urban County are:
Arroyo Grande: $120,586
Atascadero: $213,194
Grover Beach: $140,356
Paso Robles: $316,490
San Luis Obispo: $718,829
County: $877,234
Again, San Luis Obispo City's estimated allocation is actually $41,958 less than our 2004
allocation. This is because anticipated Congressional spending on CDBG decreased over 2004
and the number of participating jurisdictions continues to grow. This new figure is still an
estimate, although it's more definite because it's from HUD, based on actual proposed federal
spending levels. However, it is subject to change when HUD announces the final CDBG funding
figures. Based on previous experience, this could take place sometime in late March or April or
when the federal budget is approved.
Consolidated Plan/HUD approval. Under the Urban County cooperation agreement, the
Council considers the draft "One-Year Action Plan." This is the core of the Urban County's
HUD-required Consolidated Plan (CP). Other sections of the CP are mostly background
information on community needs and demographics and have not significantly changed from
previous years. The City Council reviews the draft Action Plan but has approval authority only
over those CDBG activities requesting City funding. Council may "recommend projects to
receive Special Urban Projects, HOME and ESG funds, although this step is not required: The
final CP will include each jurisdiction's adopted CDBG program and the Board's approved
Special Urban Projects, HOME and ESG projects before the CP is submitted to HUD in May.
HUD then reviews the plan and notifies the Urban County in June once it is approved. Funding
usually starts in September once grant agreements and environmental reviews are completed.

HUD Objectives and rules. The Urban County's CDBG activities must, by law, meet HUD
objectives and rules. HUD has three broad national objectives:
1. To benefit persons and households with incomes below 80 percent of area median
incomes ($49,350 for a four-person household);
2. To aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; and
3. To meet urgent community development needs that pose a serious, immediate threat to
public health or welfare, such as floods, earthquakes or other disasters.
CDBG-eligible activities include: acquisition of real property, construction or rehabilitation of
public facilities and improvements, site/building clearance and demolition, tenant relocation,
provision of certain types of public services, removal of architectural barriers,. housing
rehabilitation, historic preservation, code enforcement, special economic development activities,
planning studies and grant administration. HUD requires that at least 70 percent of the Urban
County's grants go to activities that benefit low- and moderate-income persons. At least 51
percent of individual project or program funds must benefit low- and moderate-income persons,
and up to 20 percent of the City's total funding can be used for overall CDBG program
administration and other indirect costs. Up to 15 percent of the Urban County's CDBG funds
can go toward Public Services.
Community Needs Hearings and Workshops. The Urban County hosted "needs" hearings at
several locations throughout the County to allow the public to identify community problems and
needs. The City's Human Relations Commission (HRC) hosted one of the needs hearings at its
October 6, 2004 meeting. About 25 people attended the hearing and addressed a wide variety of
community needs. These included homeless services, affordable housing, and senior services.
Council Goals and Priorities. At its November 16, 2004 public hearing, Council reviewed the
HRC's recommendation and unanimously agreed by approving the 2005 CDBG funding
priorities shown below:
Rank Approved 2004 CDBG Program Priorities
1 Emergency shelter for homeless persons. Maintain existing services and building resources for future needs.
2 Enhance and develop housing affordable to low and very-low income persons,including seniors.
3 Education concerning and/or removal of architectural barriers for the disabled and elderly.
4 Economic development(to include seismic retrofit,enhance economic stability,and provide jobs for
low/moderate incomepersons).
Advisory Body Recommendation. At its December. 1, 2004 meeting, the HRC held a public
hearing to review the 2005 CDBG funding requests. The HRC focused its recommendation on
housing activities, including fully funding of the People's Self-Help and Housing Authority
requests with the City's AHF to make up the shortfall from the Urban County. The Commission
recommended funding the activities shown in Attachment 1 (Table 1), and their actions are
further described in the HRC minutes, Attachment 3.

CAO Recommendation. The CAO recommendation also recognizes the priority housing
activities by supporting the use of the City's AHF to supplement CDBG. However, less CDBG
money is designated for the Housing Authority project in order to partially fund the rehabilitation
of the Southern Pacific Railroad Freight Warehouse. This is because historic preservation is an
eligible use, and if we don't occasionally use some CDBG money for.this purpose, facilities that
we own (like the Historic Museum, Freight Warehouse, Adobes) will simply not be improved
given the condition of the General Fund. Again, the PSHHC request for AHF funds will be
reviewed once the project has gone through the approval process. Table 2 shows the CAD's
recommended 2005 CDBG Program Activities.
The next section of the report reviews each of the applications.
Applications Recommended For CDBG Funding by Both the.HRC andCA
Application 2-05. Housing Authority — Homeless Shelter Improvements ($40,000). This is a
supplement to the CDBG activity funded in 2003 ($70,000) for improvements to the Homeless
Shelter. The main improvement is an upgrade of the lavatories — current request also includes
installation of a sprinkler system.
Application 3-05. Housing Authority Site Acquisition — 235 North Chorro Street (HRC,
$275,000, CAO $190,079). Request is to assist in the acquisition of a site for a low-income
housing project. Site is zoned R-4 and has approved entitlements from the City. The Land Use
approval is for 8 one-bedroom and 8 two-bedroom units. The property was sold to the Housing
Authority while in plan check for building permits. CDBG request is less than one-quarter the
property sales price — other funding sources, especially from the State, are expected to fill the
gap.
Application 5-05. Life Steps Foundation ($17,657). CDBG funds would go to repairing the
flooring and electrical system at the existing Life Steps Drug and Alcohol Free Living Center.
The Center, opened in 1991, is a 24-hour facility that houses 5 women in recovery from
substance abuse and up to 10 children under the age of 5 years. Activity is proposed for CDBG
funding by reprogramming$17,657 from the EVC Revolving Loan Fund.
Application 6-05. Homeless Shelter Operation ($1.12,500). Funding for the continued
operation of the SLO Homeless Shelter. Funding amount is unchanged from last year. The
operation and maintenance of the Homeless Shelter remains the City's top priority for CDBG
funding.
Application 12-05. ADA Corrections at City Facilities ($51,250). CDBG funding is proposed
for ADA-related improvements at 24 City facilities. The improvements address a wide range of
features including signage, handrails, dispensers, fixtures, ramps, doors, and public counters.
This second of three phases must be completed by September, 2006 based on the audit and
settlement agreement with the Department of Justice.
Application 14-05. Sidewalk Access Ramps and Sidewalk Replacements To Improve
Accessibility For Disabled Or Elderly Persons ($75,000). Funding for on-going construction of
intersection improvements to meet ADA standards. $75,000 in 2005 CDBG funds would be
used along with about$200,000 in prior years' funding. There-is a backlog of street intersections
a �_
2005 Community Develoamc. _Block Grant Program Page 6
needing handicapped ramps, and the additional funding allows the City to install more ramps
than would be possible under the Public Works' "base"request.
Application 17-05. Program Administration ($125,000). Funding for city costs to administer
the Community Development Block Grant program and to develop and implement an expanded
affordable housing program. This year's proposed allocation is the same amount as approved for
program administration in 2004. The total requested funding includes funds for both general
program administration and continued funding for the Housing Programs Manager position.
DRG Application Recommended by CAO but not the HR
Application 15-05. Southern Pacific Railroad (SPRR) Freight Warehouse Rehab ($125,000).
The Council has established this project as a priority goal for 2005-2007. This activity requests
continuing the rehabilitation of SPRR Warehouse building partially with CDBG funds. The
building was stabilized in August, 2004 and the proposal would continue the structural and
architectural work. Ultimately, the intended use of the building is a Railroad Museum in keeping
with the context of the Historic Railroad District. The requested CDBG funds ($125,000) would
supplement a federal Transportation Enhancement Activities (TEA) grant.
The Southern Pacific Railroad Warehouse is an economic development activity and would meet
the second CDBG national objective by removing "spot blight". Rehabilitation of the building
into a Railroad Museum meets multiple City objectives:
• Historic educational facility
• Historic preservation
• Handicapped accessibility
• Removal of hazardous materials
• Implementation of the Railroad District Plan
• Aesthetic and safety improvements in the Railroad yard area
As mentioned earlier, staff recognizes the importance the Council has placed on using CDBG
funds for housing purposes. Even with the proposed modification recommended by the CAO,
this strong emphasis is retained. However, historic preservation and the Freight Warehouse are
important Council goals, too. Given the condition of the General Fund, such goals simply will
remain unmet without some flexibility in the allowed use of CDBG funds. With the availability
of the City's new Affordable Housing Fund; along with, grant funds available with a certified
Housing Element, staff believes that the modest flexibility recommended will not compromise
any significant housing efforts.
CDBG A l ration Recommended by HRC but not the CA01
Application 4-05. Homeownership Assistance ($80,000). A request for $250,000 of CDBG
funds in conjunction with HOME and CalHome to help establish a first-time homebuyer
program. As noted in the report summary, the Homeownership Assistance Activity was initially
a - c�
2005 Community Develonme, .;lock Grant Pro&= Paee 7
recommended by the HRC for $80,000, but later reduced to,approximately $40,000 due to the
reduced overall City CDBG funding. In staffs opinion, the CDBG recommendations are geared
toward projects; $40,000 is not adequate funding to start a new program this year. The way the
funding picture played out at the end, it seemed more effective to designate a"leftover" $40,000
to the Housing Authority site rather than a home loan start-up program.
While the City was not successful this year in acquiring CalHome loan funds from the State, the
County is recommending awarding $250,000 in response to the City's separate application for
HOME funds. This is exciting news, because with the foundation of HOME funding the City's
homebuyer program is becoming a reality. Staff will be looking to supplement the HOME funds
with the BEGIN Program, another application for CalHome this summer, and possibly HOME
and CDBG in future years.
Applications Not Recommended-for CDBG Funding;
Application I-05. People's Self-Help Housing South Higuera Street Project. This is a
proposed mixed-use project consisting of 30 residential apartments, 3,000 square feet
commercial space, and 1,000 square feet of community space. All 30 units would be restricted as
permanent affordable housing —21 units for the very low-income and 9 low-income. The project
has previously received CDBG and Home funding from the City and County for site acquisition.
The County is recommending $144,000 in HOME funds for the project this year, leaving a
shortfall of$356,000. Staff anticipates bringing back the request for AHF this summer after the
project has gone through the approval process.
Applications 7-05 through I1-05 would fund "public services" as defined under HUD rules.
Under those rules, there is a 15 percent cap on the amount of CDBG funds that can be used for
public services. The City fully expends its public services capacity each year by funding
homeless services. Consequently, while these additional public services are eligible and meet a
community need, there is not sufficient public services capacity to fund them using CDBG funds.
Given the City's priority commitment to funding Prado Day Center, the $50,000 request for
Prado Day Center operation would be funded using General Funds, in keeping with prior Council
direction. The other four Public Service requests (Applications 8-11) have been referred to the
Grants-in-Aid-(GIA) program_.
Application 13-05. Augusta Street Culvert Replacement The culvert at the end of August
Street has dissolved and is in need of replacement. A request for $150,000 was submitted to
replace the culvert. While CDBG eligible by its location in a low and moderate-income
neighborhood, such Public Works activities are not among the City's four funding priorities.
(However, staff believes this is a good fit for the Workforce Housing Reward Program, as
indicated in the report on tonight's Consent agenda.)
Application 16-05. Cuesta College. Small Business Development Center. Cuesta College
requests $5,000 to help fund operating costs for its Small Business Development Center. The
Center provides training and technical services to those seeking to open or operate small
a - �
2005.Community Developme._ Block Grant Program Page S
businesses. By its nature, the Center frequently serves low- and moderate-income persons who
would not be able to afford these services in the private:sector. The City already funds economic
development, however, as part of the Economic Vitality Commission's Revolving Loan Fund
(RLF). Staff recommends that Council continue to fund economic development through the
EVC and avoid new, piecemeal economic development grants that may reduce the effectiveness
of CDBG funding and create an expectation of on-going CDBG funding for this program.
Staff continues to monitor the EVC Revolving Loan Fund to ensure that the program meets
expectations. Updating the agreement with the EVC in October, 2004 was one example of this.
The EVC has recently made a small loan to a downtown business and is working on several
others at this time. The recommendation this year reprograms $17,657 from the RLF to the
Life Steps Living Center. The RLF retains a sufficient balance ($14,000) to continue its
operation. Depending upon the RLF activity level, some or all of the CDBG funding for EVC
should be considered for reallocation in 2006.
Application 18-05. Hotline Phone Center. Hotline proposes to use CDBG funds to hire a
consultant to coordinate and implement an application to the PUC for a 2-1-1 telephone system.
The 2-1-1 system provides callers with information and referrals to human services and
supplements the 9-1-1 system. The HRC did not support using CDBG funds as consulting
services for a future, uncertain program.
Special Urban Projects Funding. Under the Cooperation Agreement, 15 percent of the net
County funding is set-aside annually for a "Special Urban Projects Fund." Funds are available to
all participating jurisdictions on a competitive basis and are awarded by the Board of
Supervisors. As with HOME and ESG funds, the proposed activities are recommended by
county staff. Special urban projects are those that are more regional in scope, meet an urgent
community need, provide direct benefit to very needy groups (very-low income, disabled
persons, at-risk youth), and would not be feasible without special funding assistance. $146,765
(includes 15% of unincorporated county program income) is.available in the 2005 Program Year.
The following table shows the proposed use of Special Urban Project Funds. These activities
qualify as Special Urban Projects by serving critical needs of low-income residents from
throughout San Luis Obispo County.

HOME Funding. The Urban County expects to receive $1,700,000 in formula HOME funds in
2005, including program income. The City's application for homeownership assistance
($250,000) has been recommended for approval; the all-important initial catalyst for the
homebuyer program. Other HOME-funded recommendations that would directly benefit City
a � g
2005 Community Develobme.__Block Grant Program Page 9
residents are $144,000 recommended for low-income, affordable apartments on South Higuera
Street (PSHHC) and $350,000 to the Housing Authority of the City of San Luis Obispo for
countywide tenant based rent assistance. The balance of the HOME fonds is proposed to be used
in other areas in the Urban County. The Urban County's Draft HOME funding recommendations
are shown in Attachment 4.
ESG Funding. The Urban County is estimated to receive $94,668 in Emergency Shelter Grant
Funds in 2005. Of this, approximately $67,559 is tentatively slated for the Maxine Lewis
Memorial Shelter, the Prado Day Center, and the SLO Women's Shelter, with the balance
earmarked for homeless services and facilities in other County areas..
Affordable Housing Fund (AHF)
Established in 1999, the AHF implements the Inclusionary Housing Program and is funded by
the payment of in-lieu affordable housing fees. This Fund has a balance of $1.37 million.
Ordinance 1438 which established the fund describes it as a "fund established and administered
by the City, containing in-lieu fees and other funds held and used exclusively to increase and
improve the supply of affordable housing." The ordinance also says the fund shall be
administered by the Finance Director and is allocated "at the discretion of the City Council." The
fund's potential uses, award procedures and criteria are spelled out in Council Resolution 9263
(2001 Series). Following those procedures, the City has approved one grant of $215,000 for
Judson Terrace Lodge to help construct a 32-unit apartment project for frail, low-income elderly
persons. A second grant request from Sojourn Services, Inc. for $25,000 was denied because it
did not meet the award criteria. The third request for AHF funds was approved by the Council
on February 17; 2004 to support the Housing Trust Fund in its start-up and operating costs
($60,000) No other Affordable Housing Fund requests have been received.
The current balance in the Affordable Housing Fund is $1,337,062. Revenues are shown in
detail below, as of December 31, 2004:

City of San Luis Obispo,Finance.Department
The AHF, the first such fund established in San Luis Obispo County, is relatively unfettered by
the "strings" associated with State and Federal funding, making it exceptionally flexible and
valuable for meeting local housing needs. Projects receiving City funds must meet State law
regarding prevailing wage requirements, and this means developers of most assisted affordable
housing developments must pay prevailing wages. Since AHF can be meted out at Council's
2005 Community Develoame.. clock Grant Program Page 10
sole discretion, the process is sirriple, direct; and efficient, without the long lead times associated
with multi-agency grants. AHF funds are viewed as a tool to primarily provide direct assistance
for the purchase, rehabilitation or construction of affordable housing. They are also seen as an
appropriate supplement to CDBG projects as evidenced by the City's decision to consider AHF
and CDBG at the same time, as possible.
The criteria for consideration of Affordable Housing Fund requests are as follows:
1. Eligibility. Use of the Affordable Housing Fund will increase or improve affordable
housing inventory and promote General Plan policies regarding housing and related
community goals.
2. Need. There exists a substantial or overarching need for the type of housing to be assisted.
3. Suitability. The project to be assisted is appropriate for its location, both in terms of land
use.and design.
4. Timing. The project would better serve the City's needs if it were built immediately as
opposed to later.
5. Financial Effectiveness. But for the requested assistance, the project would not be
economically feasible; or AHF funding "leverages" significant additional funding from
other sources.
6. Readiness. The project has all necessary City approvals and is ready to proceed.
A funding request may not meet all of these criteria, or may only partially meet one or more
criteria. This is, by nature, a subjective process in which the criteria provide a way to compare
requests against City housing objectives and other practical considerations. Requests that meet
most or all of these criteria are more likely to maximize public benefit and therefore, merit City
support. Even if a request appears to meet these criteria, Council may still opt not to fund a
particular request or to fund only a portion of the request. Council may instead choose to "save
up" in-lieu fees to wield a greater funding effect on a single large, future housing development or
to offer a significant incentive to encourage a specific type of affordable housing.
The City received one request for AHF funding in conjunction with 2005 CDBG. The Housing
Authority is requesting $109,921 of AHF to supplement the recommended CDBG allocation of
$190,079 to fill the $300,000 gap in financing for property acquisition. The project has received
land use approvals for 16 units; a combination of one and two- bedroom units, all of which are
geared toward low and very-low income households. This will be a tax credit project, managed
by the Housing Authority, and restricted for 55 years as affordable housing. (At the time of the
HRC hearing, it was believed that the People's Self-Help Housing (PSHHC) project would be
ripe for review tonight, as well. Staff anticipates bringing the PSHHC request for AHF funds to
the Council after the project has been through the development review process, probably this
summer.)
2005 Community Develonme.__Block Grant Program Page 11
Staff agrees with George Moylan (Attachment 5) that all criteria for AHF funding are met with
the Housing Authority project on No. Chorro Street; sixteen very low-income units provide
housing for the neediest of household groups. The project has received City Land Use approval
and is ready for construction. The AHF funds provide significant leverage with State, Federal,
and other funding sources. This financing package is a great example of the City's funding
sources in action — CDBG funding, supplemented by the City's AHF, fills the gap in financing
and allows the Housing Authority to purchase the site.
Further uses of the AHF are anticipated through the work of the Housing Programs Manager, as
discussed below.
Housing Programs.Manager Annual Update
The Housing Programs Manager position was filled in February, 2004 and has established
relationships with local housing agencies, as well as home builders, community groups, and
members of the public. On the heels of City adoption and State certification, Housing Element
implementation is well underway. Negotiations are currently proceeding with 10-12 projects, all
considering incentives and other options to increase the number of affordable units. Proposition
46 money is being actively pursued,both as a reward for approving low-income housing projects,
and as grant programs for future housing developments. The major accomplishments of this first
year are noted below:
Housing Element Implementation
a. Five implementing ordinances adopted in October, 2004: 1) Downtown Housing
Conservation, 2) Inclusionary Housing Requirement, 3) ARC exemption for small projects, 4)
Residential Growth Management, and 5) Right to continue non-residential uses.
b. Completion of two brochures—Housing Programs and Universal Design.
C. Initial funding awarded for First-Time Homebuyer Program ($250,000 from
competitive federal HOME program).
City Affordable Housing Fund (AHF) Project
a. Targeting and facilitation of several projects for AHF funds: Tumbling Waters,
Housing Authority (North Chorro Street) and People's Self-Help Housing (South Higuera
Street), and others. Promoting affordable housing efforts includes negotiating with developers,
reviewing their financial sheets, and determining the most effective leverage for public funds.
CDBG Affordable Housing Project
a. Two projects facilitated for CDBG (or Urban County HOME funds) in
conjunction with AHF funds: Housing Authority (North Chorro Street) and People's Self-Help
Housing (South Higuera Street).
Inclusionary Housing Projects
a. The Development Review Process has been revised to require Housing Programs
sign-off on all projects subject to the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance.
2005 Community Develoame.__Block Grant Program Page 12
b. Ongoing encouragement of affordable housing units above the minimum
Inclusionary requirement by using City incentives and negotiating with developers to build
affordable dwellings (v. in-lieu fees).
C. Targeted projects include Tumbling Waters (12 additional affordable units),
People's Self-Help Housing (30 affordable units), Parker Plaza (3-4 affordable units), Bishop
Knoll (5 affordable units), 849 Mill Street 1 (affordable unit), Margarita Area, and others.
"Affordable by Design" Projects

Vice Chairperson Lamb spoke against the Counseling — Phone Call Center (211)
grant citing that it did not secure the 211 program but only put funds toward hiring a
consultant to write a grant. He was also opposed to funding the Southern Pacific
Railroad Freight Warehouse Rehabilitation application because he did not view this
project as a compelling community need. He inquired how the current repair work was
funded.
Supervising Civil Engineer Lynch responded that current work was funded by a
Transportation Efficiency Act (TEA) Grant used to do stabilization and roof repair. She
reported additional funds are needed for the professional removal of lead paint and
asbestos. Additionally she noted, staff hoped to get the facility to a point where railroad
volunteers could raise funds to complete the renovation.
Commissioner Wolff expressed concern with the Southern Pacific Freight Warehouse
Rehabilitation application and the Augusta Street Culvert Replacement. He argued that
these applications do not offer assistance to the low-income population and won't ease
the housing crisis. He supported taking those funds and placing them elsewhere.
Commissioner Wheeler spoke against the Augusta Street Culvert Replacement
application and the Southern Pacific Freight Warehouse Rehabilitation applications.
Commissioner Forsberg voiced concern that the City was directing too much CDBG
funds to City projects. She also inquired why the City needed funding for ADA
Corrections to City Facilities when it was reported that the City had done well during the
audit.
Facilities Maintenance Supervisor Smith responded that although the City was
pleased with the audit results, there were several small projects that needed to be
addressed and the costs were expensive.
Chairperson Nichols did not see urgency with the Southern Pacific Railroad (SPRR)
Freight Warehouse Rehabilitation since it has been stabilized. She also noted many
other City culverts needed repair and these improvements have historically been
funded with General Funds. She spoke in support of moving funding for the SPRR
Freight Warehouse Rehabilitation and culvert repairs to the acquisition of 235 N. Chorro
and the home ownership assistance CDBG applications.
ACTION: Moved by Lamb/Wolff to deny the Augusta Street Culvert
Replacement, Southern Pacific Warehouse Rehabilitation and the Counseling
Phone Call Center grant applications; motion carried; 5:0. (Chairperson Nichols
recused due to a possible conflict of interest.)

funding recommendations for the 2005 Consolidated Plan and Action Plan pursuant to the requirements of

County to receive funding through certain federal grant programs. Three basic goals govern these
programs: 1)provide decent housing,2)provide a suitable Poring environment,and 3)expand economic
opportunities. Each of these goals is intended to benefit persons whose incomes are below 80 percent of
median income.
The County Planning and Building Department acted as the lead agency in preparing the draft funding
recommendations,collaborating with each of the cities throughout the process of conducting citizen
participation activities. The Action Plan describes activities proposed for funding through the county's 2005
Community Development Block Grant(CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships(HOME),American Dream
Down payment Initiative(ADD[),and Emergency Shelter Grant(ESG)programs. HUD has notified the
county of its funding estimates,which amount to$2,386,689 for the CDBG Program,$1,427,299 for the
HOME,$46,0915 in ADDI funds,and$92,396 for the ESG Programs. Draft.funding recommendations are
subject to change when the County receives the final allocations for these programs by HUD.
Additional funds available to be allocated include$123,600 in CDBG program income by the.City of Paso
Robles,and$50,000 in CDBG program income by the County of San Luis Obispo. The HOME program
generated$206,000 in HOME program income.

RECEIVED
The Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of San Luis Obispo JAN 2 5
990 Palm Street SLO CITY CLERK '
San Luis Obispo, CA 93401
Dear Mayor Romero and City Council:
On October 26, 2004 we sent a request to the City of San Luis Obispo for$300,000 in
site acquisition funds to be used in the acquisition of property on North Chorro Street.
That property would support the development of 16, 1 and 2-bedroom,units all of which
would be available to clients at or below 60% of County median family income.
The development would be built and owned by a limited partnership through our affiliate
San Luis Obispo Non-Profit Housing Corporation in conjunction with Transitions-Mental
Health, a local 501 (c) (3) non-profit agency. The property in question is now in escrow.
The October 26th request contemplated the use of Community Development Block Grant
funding,but I understand that in the approval process the City has determined that the
request should be modified so that Affordable Housing Funds be used. Thus this letter is
written requesting that such funds be released for this site acquisition.
In preparing the request I visited the criteria for the use of said Funding and I feel the
development meets all six standards the City has outlined: Specifically I would submit
the following in justification of that position:
1. Eligibility: Use of the Affordable Housing Fund for this purpose will increase the
City's affordable housing inventory and promote General Plan policies regarding
housing. Sixteen units of affordable needed,housing will be built and those units
will be available for a minimum of 55 years as affordable housing, it will be
owned by our non-profit affiliate and will be managed by the Housing Authority
of the City of San Luis Obispo.
2. Need. There is little doubt as to the need, and numerous statistics support that
need. Perhaps the best indicator is that almost six years after we last opened our
Section 8 waiting list we still have 223 individuals and families on that list who we
have not served.
a-z�
Attachment 5
3. Suitability: The private developer who we are buying this property from has
carried this development through the City's approval process including the initial
plan check. We fine the design attractive and the location ideal to serve the
population designated for occupancy..
4. Timing:.As the City has attested to in its recently adopted housing element there is
a tremendous need for affordable housing in the community and the sooner the
better. The fact that the development has already gone through most of the City
approval process will assist us in bringing this development to the construction
phase in as little time as possible.
5. Financial Effectiveness: This will be the seventh tax-credit development we have
built in the community within the past 15 years. We have found the process to be
financially effective, and in fact one of the only ways you can build affordable
housing given today's funding situation. Unlike some other low-income housing
developers we have attempted to refrain from asking the City for CDBG or
Affordable Housing Fund monies, i.e. Del Rio Terrace on Johnson Avenue is
being built without any direct funding from the City. However, a variety of
factors, i.e. increasing land and construction costs and the applicability of State
Wage Rates, has made it important that we go to the City for these funds. Other
developers of affordable housing have asked the City for over$1 million in
funding; our request is for just a fraction of that amount. Bottom line is that this
development is probably not feasible without the City's participation, and by
granting us the $300,000 we will use that to leverage approximately$3,000,000 in
tax credit and other financing, including a mortgage to be placed locally..
6. Readiness: I spoke to this criterion above but to reiterate we are in escrow on the
property and except for final plan check the development has all necessary City
approvals.
As usual I will be happy to meet with you and City staff to discuss any questions you
might have as to the development and our request..
Sincerely,
oe,,V �P�9��

DEAR CITY COUNCIL,
I WAS BORN IN SAN LUIS OBISPO, MY GRANDFATHER WAS
A CONDUCTOR ON THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC. I REMEMBER WELL
WATING FOR HIM TO CALL SO WE COULD GO TO THE STATION
TO PICK HIM UP. (WE ARE TALKING THE 509S). AS A RESULT I
LOVE TRAINS AND HAVE A HEART FELT SUPPORT FOR THE
MUSEUM IN SAN LUIS OBISPO AND HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR
THE COMPLETION.
IN RESENT YEARS I HAVE BEEN COMING DOWN NST TO
STAY IN TOUCH WITH MY FOND MEMORIES OF MY CHILDHOOD
AND AM PLANNING A TRIP TO BRING MY GIRLS DOWN WITH ME
NEXT TIME, ON THE TRAIN.
I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH THE MUSEUM FOR THE LAST
YEAR OR SO BY NEWS LETTER AND AM SO LOOKING FORWARD
TO THE FINNISH OF THE MUSEUM AS I HAVE MY
GRANDFATHERS UNIFORM I WOULD LIKE TO DONATE,
THIS TOWN IS SO RICH WITH TRAIN HISTORY I FEEL THE
COMPLETION OF THIS PROJECT WOULD BE A HUGE ASSET TO
THE CITY.
PLEASE CONSIDER THE IMPORTANTS OF THIS PROJECT
SINCERELY,

Re: CDBG Applications
The San Luis Obispo Supportive Housing Consortium met November 3,2004 and
reviewed CDBG/HOME applications for Consortium endorsement. The following
project was approved as meeting the requirement of acquiring, building,rehabilitating
or maintaining housing for low-income special needs clients.
San Luis Obispo Non-Profit Corporation
The request for$300,000 of CDBG funding is for acquisition/demolition/new
construction of transitional units for Transitions-Mental Health Association clients. This
project is a collaborative effort by two agencies that have worked together in the past to
successfully provide housing units that would not otherwise exist for these special needs
clients.
The San Luis Obispo Supportive Housing Consortium endorses this project and strongly
urges the City Council to grant the funding requested.
