COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR FISCAL YEAR 1987-88
The following plan describes the City of South San Francisco's major
community development and housing needs and objectives for Fiscal Year
1987-88.
I. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING NEEDS
A. Neighborhood Revitalization Needs
The major neighborhood needs include the rehabilitation of
existing housing stock, the provision of recreational and senior
citizen facilities, the revitalization of commercial and multiple
family structures, the need for upgraded drainage and lighting
facilities, and the provision of affordable rental housing
(particularly senior citizen housing). These needs are most
apparent in the downtown area (Census Tracts 6021 and 6022).
B. Community-wide Housin~ Needs
The major community-wide housing needs include the need to expand
the production of low and moderately priced owner and rental
housing units to meet the projected demand as a result of new
employment centers in the area. There is a need for more
affordable mortgage financing for moderate income households, and
a demand for additional senior housing throughout the community.
Also, there is a need for rehabilitation and minor home repairs on
units scattered throughout the City.
C. Economic Development Needs
To become more competitive with adjacent commercial centers, the
downtown commercial area is in need of the remodeling of
deteriorated buildings and the provision of new or expanded
parking lots. It is also in need of upgrading of utilities and
drainage facilities. The older industrial area east of the
Bayshore Freeway, which has been subject to the closure of large
manufacturing operations, is in need of continued redevelopment.
D. Social Service Needs
The continued delivery of social services to low and moderate
income persons (particularly for low-income families with
children, the handicapped, and senior citizens) needs to be
ensured in light of funding cutbacks from various sources.
II. LONG-TERM OBJECTIVES
A. Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy
Upgrade the entire infrastructure of South San Francisco downtown
area. Also, various residential structures in this area should be
rehabilitated or new construction provided· Adequate facilities
for seniors and neighborhood youth should be provided· A viable
downtown shopping area providing a wide range of products at
competitive prices is also an ultimate objective of the Grand
Avenue shopping district.
B. Community-wide Housin~ Strategy
Continue the Housing Rehabilitation Program for owner-occupied
single-family homes, and the Rental Rehabilitation Program for
properties which are rented to low and moderate-income
tenants.
2. Construct additional new rental units for senior citizens·
Provide shelter to needy residents through a Shared Housing
Program·
Utilize tax increment funds from redevelopment projects for
the development of low and moderate-income housing.
Ensure access to available housing for all residents by
promoting a fair housing program·
e
Continue to enforce the Uniform Building and Uniform Housing
Codes throughout all areas of the community. The City also
has policies in its adopted Housing Element to support State
and Federal efforts to eliminate redlining.
C. Economic Development Strategy
Further the objectives of the Downtown Revitalization Program,
which began in 1979 with street improvements on Grand Avenue
through the implementation of a commercial rehabilitation
program. This program is intended to correct code violations,
provide a new visual image for the downtown, and encourage
private investment.
The City is implementing the Gateway Redevelopment Project
over the next ten years. This project has attracted a
substantial amount of private investment and will result in
major tax increments that will be earmarked for various public
improvements and housing programs throughout the community.
The Gateway Redevelopment Project is expected to generate
approximately 10,000 jobs over the next ten years. It is
estimated that approximately 10-20 percent of these jobs will
be for low and moderate income persons.
3. Implementation of the Shearwater Redevelopment Project.
Social Services Strategy
Ensure the continuation of existing social services t,o needy low-
income persons and families, handicapped persons, and senior
citizens.

Provide interim assistance, in cooperation with the Historic
Old Town Homeowners and Renters Association, to improve the
Historic Old Town area through special neighborhood clean-up
campaigns and the removal of graffiti from neighborhood
buildings.
B. Community-wide Housin~ Strategy
Identify areas where there are concentrations of housing in
need of rehabilitation, and provide rehabilitation assistance
to interested home-owners.
Begin construction of 120 senior citizen housing units at
former Magnolia School site.
Provide shared housing arrangements for approximately 30-40
individuals.
Provide fair housing information to approximately 100-150
telephone inquiries and investigate approximately 25
discrimination complaints. Provide community-wide publicity
regarding fair housing.

senior citizens·
Install approximately 30 housing accessibility modifications
