BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: A main sewer line serving the Southwood Drive, First Street, and Second Street neighborhoods flows through a manhole structure within the outfield of Bob Brian Field in Orange Memorial Park (one foot below grade). Apparently, the manhole structure had dropped slightly over the years cracking the clay piping that flows through it. An ensuing sinkhole was noticed by our crews on February 27, 2003, as water continued to draw soil away after portions of the cracked pipe dropped into the line. Although obstructed, sewage continued to flow slowly. If left unrepaired, a massive failure and total blockage was imminent. Due to the nature of the needed repairs, which were determined to be beyond the capabilities of our maintenance staff and equipment, Pacific Liners, Inc. was called to insert a plastic liner eliminating the need to dig down to replace the pipe. FISCAL IMPACT: The funding source for this repair to the sewer system will come from the Sewer Enterprise Fund, and staff has determined that an adequate fund balance exists within the fund to pay for this work. CONCLUSION: The uncertainty of the condition of this pipe and the nature of the repairs required staff to act quickly utilizing an informal bidding process. The work was closely inspected and supervised by City staff. Work was completed on March 19th, with a minimum of inconveniences to the use of the Park. No sewer service was disrupted at any time.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The purpose of this staff report is to recommend amending the operating budget for the 2003 -04 CDBG operating budget to include funds, in the amount of $22,500, received from San Mateo County. That amount is to be incorporated into the CDBG fiscal year 2003-04 operating budget in order to authorize expenditure of those funds. The City will receive administrative funds from the County for activities to be undertaken in fiscal year 2003-04. The City's agreement with the San Mateo County HOME Consortium provides one percent of the HOME Entitlement amount to participating jurisdictions for administrative expenses. Therefore, the City receives administrative funds in varying amounts depending on the total HOME Entitlement for a given year. The funds must be requested on a yearly basis with documentation of administrative expenses incurred by the City to operate the HOME Program. It is for this reason that funds are received in one year to be incorporated into the following years budget. The Department of Housing and Urban Development approved the use of these funds to implement the City's Fair Housing Plan. Strict limitations guide the expenditure of such funds; and, unfortunately, no other CDBG activities are eligible for this source of funding. The budget must be amended to allow for the incorporation of these dollars into the CDBG fund and to allow for expenditure. ro~ Subject: Date: Honorable Mayor and City Council CDBG Budget Amendment April 9, 2003 Page 2 Fair Housing Implementation Plan: As outlined in the Community Development Block Grant funding recommendations, it is proposed that the HOME funds be allocated to community agencies to expand the provision of legal services as required by the City's federal housing obligation. La Raza Centro Legal and Project Sentinel have submitted CDBG proposals to mitigate impediments to fair housing that exist in our community. The City Council allocates these funds at their CDBG Public Hearing. Once funds are incorporated into the CDBG budget, standard grant agreements will be drafted to undertake activities designated by staff in conformance with the City's Fair Housing Plan. CONCLUSION: Staff recommends that City Council approve incorporating HOME administrative funds into the 2003-04 CDBG operating budget to enable expenditure of such for fair housing activities.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The city, in cooperation with the community, BART, Sam Trans, and other important stakeholders, has been engaged in a long-range planning and master plan process related to the development of the area over the BART-SFO right-of-way as a linear park. The goal has been to fully actualize BART's commitment to provide a basic asphalt bike path, and develop a long- range plan for improvements that can be accomplished over time as funding becomes available. The Linear Park Master Plan was approved by the Parks and Recreation Commission, and adopted by the City Council on February 12, 2003. Given the large scope and expense of this project, an effort was made to prioritize elements by functionality for phased development. Safe "crossings" where the future Linear Park will cross streets was identified as a top priority. Toward that end, City Council authorized staff to submit an application for grant funding administered by the City/County Association of Governments (C/CAG) to construct a bicycle/pedestrian crossing across Orange Avenue just west of Memorial Drive, between the Boys and Girls Club and Los Cerritos School. The city was successful in receiving funding toward this project. The scope of the Orange Avenue Intersection project is to essentially reduce the pedestrian or bicycle crossing distance from one side of the street to the other by "bulbing out" the sidewalk on RESOLUTION NO.

Bower, Director of Human Resources Resolution Approving Personnel Changes, including Classification Descriptions, Unit Designation, and Salary Ranges RECOMMENDATION Adopt a resolution 'approving the job specification, salary range, and unit designation for the newly developed Safety Inspector II classification. Additionally adopt a resolution approving the revised job specifications for: · Safety Inspector (revised from Code Enforcement Officer). · Safety Inspector I.(revised fi.om Fire Inspector I). · Safety Inspector III (revised fi.om Fire Inspector II). BACKGROUND In July 2001, the CiW split the Building/Fire Prevention Division into two work units. The building inspectors and all the associated work was placed in the Department of Economic and Community Development, where the planning responsibilities and building inspection responsibilities would be managed within one department. The Fire Prevention work, that is code enforcement and fire inspection and investigation, remained with the Fire Department. Labor Market: In Order to make this movement effective, the management jobs needed to reflect this exchange of departments, which was approved at the City Council meeting of December 11,2002. In addition to the adjustment of management classifications, the City wanted to create a stronger career ladder for code enforcement and fire prevention because of modifications in the job market. During the last several years, there has been a dramatic change in the job market and it has been extremely difficult for the City to attract qualified candidates for the fire inspection and investigation positions. This revision will permit the City to create a career path for code enforcement officers and will also allow the City to not only attract but also to "grow its own" skilled fire inspectors, who will bring their knowledge and skill of code enforcement with them as promotional opportunities develop. Unit Designation: The Safety Inspector classification is the Code Enforcement Officer classification modified to address the learning of fire prevention knowledge and skills, and this classification is correctly placed in the AFSCME, where it always has been. The Safety Inspector I and III classifications are basically the Fire Inspector I and II classifications customized to include code JAB-04/03/03 F:XFile Cabinet\City CouncilXFire\03 Changes~Personnel Changes 03.doc Staff Report Subject: Personnel changes Page 2 enforcement duties: As you may recall, the original concept for the Fire Inspector classification was to also have fire suppression personnel be assigned to it for up to 2 years. Therefore because of the suppression duties, these classifications needed to be placed in the IAFF (Firefighter) unit. The new Safety Inspector II classification, as a bridge class between the I and the III is also appropriately placed in the same IAFF unit. IAFF questioned these designations when the original Fire Inspector classifications were developed. Based on the MuniciPal Code Section 3.08.090 consistent with labor law, there are 9 criteria that determine where classifications are placed. IAFF again questioned the designation when the titles were proposed for mOdification and when the new class of Safety Inspector was developed. The City again looked to the Municipal Code, checked where other municipalities about where fu-e inspector duties were placed, and also contacted PERS asking for a determination. PERS agreed that these classifications were safety. Costs: There is no immediate direct increase in costs, as this plan will permit the City to bring in Safety Inspectors at the lower levels. Subsequent years may have additional costs as the PERS safety rates are likely to increase beyond the miscellaneous rates (social security and retirement benefits). Those costs are estimated to be about $30,000 in subsequent years, only if all positions were filled. Revised Classifications: From To Reaso-n Code Enforcement Officer .................. Safety Inspector ............ Title change Fire Inspector I ..... : .............................. Safety Inspector I .......... Title change Fire Inspector II ....... i ...........................

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: This is the final required public heating regarding funding allocations for the 2003-2004 Community Development Block Grant Program. The purpose is to obtain public comments regarding the proposed Five Year Consolidated Housing, Economic and Community Development Plan for 2003-2008; ,the One Year Action Plan for 2003-04; and the Statement of Objectives and Projected Use of Funds for the Community Development Block Grant Program. Notice of this public heating was published in the San Mateo Times on March 27th as required by federal regulations. In addition, notices were mailed to community organizations that have submitted applications for funding. The CDBG Entitlement amount for next fiscal year is $747,000 which represents a reduction of $1,000 from last year's allocation. There is an additional amount of $92,854 in program income that may be added to the entitlement amount for a total CDBG allocation of $839,854. There is a federal spending limit for public service activities limited to fifteen percent (15%) of the entitlement amount plus fifteen percent of the program income. Therefore, of that amount, a total of $125,500 may be allocated for public service activities and a total of $149,400 may be allocated for program administration activities, which has a spending limit of twenty percent (20%). The City received applications for public service activities in excess of $100,000 above the amount of funds available. Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Subject: Five Year Consolidated Plan and One Year Action Plan for CDBG April 9, 2003 Page 2 This year, the HOME Investment Partnership Program provided the City with administrative funds in the amount of $22,500. These funds have been incorporated into the CDBG budget by City Council action this evening, allowing them to be received and expended in fiscal year 2003- 04. HOME funds are usually received one year at a time and allocated to undertake fair housing activities as designated by the City Council to continue funding for Project Sentinel and La Raza Centro Legal. In order to maximize the use of CDBG funds, the City has traditionally allocated Redevelopment Agency Housing Fund dollars to housing related activities such as emergency shelter programs camed out by community agencies. Requests for Proposals are received via the CDBG process and the City Council recommends that those funds be made available to specific projects that qualify under that funds requirements. The Redevelopment Agency has funded Family Crossroads and Maple Street Shelters, operated by Shelter Network, and the Human Investment's Shared Housing Project for ten years. The Safe Harbor Homeless Shelter was also placed in this category for funding purposes, as of fiscal year 2002-03. The only other public service or rehabilitation activity eligible in this category is Sitike Counseling Center and the CDBG sub-committee is recommending funding this year for their women and children's program with limited redevelopment agency funds. CDBG SUB COMMITTEE PRELIMINARY FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS: The CDBG sub-committee reviewed applications for funding, individual program accomplishments and general parameters and priorities for funding based on an assessment of the most critical community needs. Those critical needs were established by City Council in the City's Consolidated Housing and Community Development Plan. The attached Exhibit "B', CDBG Sub-Committee Funding Recommendations to City Council, provides the allocation amounts proposed for each funding request. Please refer to the column labeled sub-committee recommended allocation amounts, for fiscal year 2003-2004. These proposed funding levels were provided to each CDBG applicant. This evening, City Council has the opportunity to revise the funding levels at its discretion or accept the recommendations, in whole or in part. The sub-committee was required to reduce funding by fourteen thousand dollars ($14,000) for social service activities from last year's funding level due to a small cut in the City's Entitlement amount and to reduced program income. For that reason, it was not possible to fund activities for new applicants with one exception, and several projects received reduced allocations, fi.om the current year.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development requires local jurisdictions to prepare a Five Year Consolidated Housing, Economic and Community Development Plan in order to receive federal funds through the Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnership, Emergency Shelter Grant, and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS Programs. The City of South San Francisco is a participating jurisdiction in the San Mateo County HOME Consortium and submits its federal application as part of that Consortium. However, the City prepares its own Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan is prepared only once for a period of five years, in this case for fiscal year 2003 - 2008. The Consolidated Plan outlines a community's strategy tbr addressing housing and community development needs based on current community needs that are determined by the City to be a priority. A. Goals and Priorities Federal Department of Housing and Community Development Programs have three basic goals: 1. To assist extremely Iow, very low and Iow-income persons by providing decent and affordable housing. 2. To provide these persons with a suitable living environment; and 3. To expand their economic opportunities. The City's Five Year Consolidated Plan further these goals by assessing housing and community development needs and resources and by describing priority actions, projects, and programs to be initiated and or completed during each fiscal year of the Consolidated Plan. In 1993, The County Consortium established specific housing and non-housing priorities to guide Community Development Block Grant Program funding allocations and the City adopted those goals, which over the years have served our residents well. The adopted goals have proven to be sufficiently broad as to provide room to accommodate any new activities, which the City has sponsored with CDBG funding. It is proposed that the goals and priorities previously established remain in place for the term of the next Consolidated Plan dated 2003 - 2008. Further, these goals have been previously reviewed with the Redevelopment Agency's Implementation Plan and the City's Housing Element in mind to ensure consistency between the documents and between City sponsored housing and community development programs. South San Francisco's housing and non-housing priorities, programs, and specific activities can be found on Table A and Table B on the following the executive summary. These priorities will guide South San Francisco Housing and Community Development activities, including the use of Community Development Block Grant funding, over the course of the next five years. 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 1 of 93 00010 B. Consolidated Housing, Economic, & Community Development Plan The Five Year Consolidated Housing, Community and Economic Development Plan identifies and prioritizes current housing and community development needs, including the needs of special needs groups such as homeless, elderly, and disabled people, and outlines South San Francisco's strategy for addressing these community needs over the next five years. The first public hearing with the City Council on March 12, 2003 was an opportunity to hear public testimony on the City's housing and community development needs for the Five-Year Consolidated Housing, Community, and Economic Development Plan and to provide direction to staff regarding priorities for the next five years. At the final public hearing on April 9, the City Council will hear public testimony on the proposed the Consolidated Plan and One Year Action Plan and adopt the plan. Once City Council makes their final recommendations, all documents will be finalized for submittal to HUD via San Mateo County, by May 1, 2003. C. Conclusion Through the Five Year Consolidated Housing, Community, and Economic Development Plan and One Year Action Plan, the City of South San Francisco will assess the housing, community, and economic development needs of the community and describe priorities and specific objectives for addressing these needs over the next five years. Because affordable housing continues to be a great need in the Bay Area, the priorities used in past years continue to be relevant to addressing the current needs of South San Francisco. 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 2 of 93 00011 TABI,F~ A South San Francisco Housing and Community Development Priorities - Housing Priority Programs Specific Activities A.

CONSOLIDATED PLANNING PROCESS The Department of Housing and Urban Development requires entitlement jurisdiction to identify the lead agency or entity responsible for overseeing the development of the Consolidated Plan and to identify the major public and private agencies responsible for administering programs described in the Consolidated Plan. The jurisdiction also needs to describe how the lead agency consulted with and coordinated with other entities to develop the Consolidated Plan, and to describe the institutional structure in place to carry out the actions in the plan. Finally, the jurisdiction is to describe how it involved citizens in the process to develop the plan and to address their comments. This section describes how the City of South San Francisco has addressed these requirements. A. Planning and Implementation Process Lead Agency The City of South San Francisco's Community Development Department (CDD) is the lead public agency responsible for developing and implementing the City's Consolidated Plan. CDD administers the City's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Redevelopment Agency's tax increment funds. CDD is responsible for many of the activities and programs identifies in the Consolidated Plan including the City's housing rehabilitation program, voucher program, first time homebuyer program, new housing development programs, funding of nonprofit agencies, commercial development programs, and for improving the City's public facilities and infrastructure. Consultation and Coordination Organizations Consulted to Develop the Consolidated Plan The City of South San Francisco is a participating jurisdiction in the San Mateo County HOME consortium. South San Francisco consulted with San Mateo County in identifying community needs. The City also consulted with the following governmental and social service organizations in identifying community needs: Child Care Coordinating Council, Center for Independence for the Disabled, Shelter Network, Second Harvest Food Bank, Sitike Counseling Center, City of South San Francisco Adult Day Care Program, HIP Housing, North Peninsula Family Alternatives, North Peninsula Neighborhood Services Center, Families on Track, Mid-Peninsula Housing Coalition, International Institute of San Francisco, La Raza Centro Legal, John's Closet, ELLIPSE, San Mateo Interfaith Hospitality Network, PARCA, Ombudsman Program of San Mateo County, Project Read, South San Francisco High School, and the Volunteer Center of San Mateo County. CDD staff also participated in a workshop held by the City/County Association of Governments on housing needs in San Mateo County. Further detail on the City's process of developing the plan and for citizen participation can be found in the Citizen Participation Plan. Organizations Consulted to Deliver Services The City will work closely with non-profit social service providers, other cities, the School District, the County, and the Chamber of Commerce to coordinate the delivery of services to residents. The City will also assist neighborhood groups with space for events and materials to help them conduct community activities. 2003-2008FiveYearConsolidatedPlan PageSof93 0001 4 In 2003~2008, the City will work to strengthen its relationships with organizations serving the public. Specific efforts will include: Participate in the San Mateo County HOME Program Consortium · Continue working with the County of San Mateo and other CDBG jurisdictions to implement HUD's Lead Safe Housing Regulation · Fund non-profit agencies serving low-income residents · Continue working with Mid-Peninsula Housing Coalition to rehabilitate Willow Gardens · Participate with the County of San Mateo and other cities on the Peninsula to develop the Countywide Housing Investment Partnership (CHIP) First-Time Homebuyer Program that will create opportunities for first-time homebuyers. · Work with businesses and the Chamber of Commerce on downtown beautification and other projects to improve the downtown · Work with nonprofit agencies and private developers to build affordable housing. Institutional Structure The following jurisdictions, organizations, and groups are part of the institutional structure through which the City of South San Francisco's Five Year Consolidated Plan objectives will be implemented: Commnnity Development Department, Ci_ty of South San Francisco As described earlier, the City of South San Francisco's Community Development Department (CDD) is responsible for many of the activities and programs identifies in the Consolidated Plan. The City will be actively involved conducting housing rehabilitation, making loans to first time homebuyers, developing new housing, funding nonprofit agencies, creating opportunities for commercial development, and improving the City's public facilities and infrastructure. Coun _ty of San Mateo Because of the City's eligibility to receive funds directly from the federal government, the County plays a smaller role in South San Francisco than it does in other cities on the Peninsula. The County, however, does contribute to housing and community development needs of the City through programs such as its first time homebuyer program and through the financing of nonprofit agencies. One very critical role the County plays in South San Francisco is providing services for homeless persons and persons with special needs. The City of South San Francisc6 participates in the County Continuum of Care Collaborative to address the needs of homeless people in South San Francisco. San Mateo County Housing Authori _ty The San Mateo County Public Housing Authority is responsible for implementing the federally funded Section 8 Program throughout the County of San Mateo. A portion of the Housing Authority's rent assistance vouchers and certificates are allocated to the City of South San Francisco. South San Francisco Public Housing Authori _ty The South San Francisco Public Housing Authority operates as a separate entity and submits a Consolidated Plan to HUD separately from the City of South San Francisco. The South San Francisco PHA manages 80 units of affordable public housing. More information about the South San Francisco PHA can be found in their 2000-2004 Consolidated Plan. 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 6 of 93 00015 Nonprofit Organizations Nonprofit organizations in South San Francisco play an important role providing affordable housing and services for South San Francisco residents. South San Francisco partially funds and monitors these agencies through its Community Development Block Grant program. The programs theses agencies provide are as varied as the clients they serve and range from housing rehabilitation to counseling. North Peninsula Neighborhood Services, Inc. (NPNSC) conducts a minor home repair in South San Francisco. Shelter Network operates several shelters providing emergency and transitional for Sonth San Francisco residents For years Human Investment Project (HIP) operates a home sharing referral program, which matches persons looking for housing with persons, which have extra living space. The agency also helps seniors obtain reverse mortgages and manages several shared housing units. HIP is also a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) and as such is eligible for receiving HOME funds designated for CHDO's. The Child Care Coordinating Council, Friends to Parents, Second Harvest, The Tooth Mobile, ELLIPSE and many other nonprofit organizations also provide valuable services to residents in South San Francisco. A complete listing and description of service providers is included each in year in the City's One-Year Action Plan. Private Industry_ Private sector organizations involved in providing housing and services include realtors, lenders, architects, developers and contractors. These groups rarely take a lead role in providing affordable housing or services, but are critical in the provision of housing and services. Lenders for example work with the City to provide loans first loans for first time homebuyers in the City's program, and contractors work with CDD to provided quality home repairs though the City's housing rehabilitation programs. Strengths and Gaps in the Delivery of Housing and Services As a leader in the provision of housing and services, the City of South San Francisco is well suited to continue implementing and expanding the housing programs identified in this report. The City's housing programs have the support of the City Council as well as the staff experience necessary to carry out housing and community development plans. Expertise in ongoing programs such as housing rehabilitation and working with community nonprofit agencies will result in the continuing success for these programs. City staff also has experience developing housing, from negotiating purchases and working with developers to securing short and long term financing. Perhaps the greatest shortcoming of the City's housing delivery system is the limited number of staff available to aggressively pursue new housing opportunities. Another limitation is the restrictive nature of the uses of federal funds Given their extensive experience, the Housing Authority of San Mateo County is very capable of delivering its housing programs to those in need. The Housing Authority's limits are the lack of development experience and the lack of resources needed to assist all those who seek rental assistance. The nonprofit agencies working in the City of South San Francisco can be described as experts in their field. They are adept fundraisers, project managers, and know the diverse needs of their clients and the most efficient ways of delivering services to them. They are also very experienced in working with each other and with other public and private organizations. Many of these agencies have experience in developing new housing. Shelter Network has opened several homeless facilities throughout the County. 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 7 of 93 00016 The nonprofit agencies are only limited by the lack of funding available to serve all of the residents that seek their assistance. The private sector's role in the delivery of affordable housing is limited in certain situations. Lenders are adept at funding projects and contractors are skilled at developing and rehabilitating housing. Their shortcoming is that they are often unfamiliar with the needs of lower income persons, or with the limitations of those trying to provide services to them. Overcoming the experience gaps within each group will require coordination and cooperation with other agencies or groups who have the necessary experience. South San Francisco is located in an urban setting that has a multitude of agencies and organizations with an abundance of resources. It is common for many organizations to contact one another to learn how to approach difficult issues. Often times, besides acting as information resources, public and private agencies work together to combine their experience to bring a project to fruition. There are few housing and service delivery gaps in South San Francisco that cannot be overcome by working with other organizations. The one crucial gap that is beyond everyone's capability to overcome is the lack of resources available to address all or'the needs of low-income persons. B. Citizen Participation Plan Introduction The City of South San Francisco is required by la~v to have a detailed Citizen Participation Plan, which contains the City's policies and procedures for public involvement in the Consolidated Plan process and the use of CDBG and HOME money. This Citizen Participation Plan must be available to the public. Encouraging Public Participation The law requires that our Citizen Participation Plan both provide for and encourage public participation, emphasizing involvement by low and moderate income people, especially those living in low and moderate income neighborhoods. Also, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) expects South San Francisco to take whatever actions are appropriate to encourage participation of people of color, people who do not speak English, and people with disabilities. The Role of Low Income People The law declares that the primary purpose of the programs covered by this Citizen Participation Plan is to improve communities by providing: decent housing, a suitable living environment, and growing economic opportunities - all, principally for low and moderate income people. Because the amount of federal CDBG and HOME money South San Francisco gets each year is mostly based upon the severity of both poverty and substandard housing conditions in South San Francisco, it is necessary that public participation genuinely involve low income residents who experience these conditions. Genuine involvement by low income people must take place at all stages of the process, including: identifying needs; setting priorities among these needs, deciding how much money should be allocated to each high-priority need, and suggesting the types of programs to meet high-priority needs; as well as, overseeing the way in which programs are carried out. 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 8 of 93 00017 Citizen Participation Plan Activities For The 2003-2008 Consolidated Plan Identi _fying Needs Consultation with Community Agencies Serving Low-Inco~ne Residents: · On February 7, 2003, a meeting was held with local community agencies that serve low-income South San Francisco residents to identify community needs.

Citizen Comments Resident Input A community meeting was held on February 13~h, 2003 at Greenridge apartments for residents of Greenridge and Willow Gardens. The residents' concerns fell into four main categories: l) affordable housing, 2) community safety, 3) community services, and 4) general community improvements. All of the residents agreed that there is a huge need for affordable rental housing for families and programs to help low-income families buy homes in South San Francisco. Residents from Willow Gardens discussed the need for rehabilitation of remaining run-down units in the neighborhood and some way to make more apartments in Willow Gardens affordable. Despite their low cost of housing at Greenridge, people noted that they still have problems making their rent payments and would like to see more relief such as rent control, or aid for people who have lost their jobs. Another major concern of all of the residents was community safety. The residents cited problems with people driving to fast close to where children play and gang and drug activity in Willow Gardens. Residents said that they wanted more police patrols of Willow Gardens and Greenridge. The community services that the residents said were important to them are: childcare; a health clinic for low-income people, non-US citizens, Hispanics, and people that don't have health insurance; job creation and job training; senior services; computer classes for kids; a youth center; and public schools that are more responsive to parents and respectful of children who speak Spanish. The residents also expressed the need for general community improvements. In Willow Gardens, litter in the streets and people dumping trash in the neighborhood are major problems and residents want more consistent street cleaning. In the Greenridge area, residents also felt very strongly that the community around Greenridge needs a small grocery store that serves their needs (for ethnic produce and goods). Residents also suggested improvements along El Camino: more bus service, a pedestrian overpass to the bus stop on El Camino near the BART, and repairs on the road surface near Thomasville furniture. The Community Needs Survey results from resident respondents are included in the following pages. Comments from Community Agencies On February 7th, 2003, Housing and Community Development held a meeting for local community organizations to share their perspectives on the pressing needs in South San Francisco. Representatives from eight local organizations attended the meeting. The most pressing issue the agencies raised unanimously was that the State and County budget crisis is causing agencies to lose millions of dollars that previously enabled agencies to provide basic services like childcare, rental assistance, disabled services, emergency shelter, health services, substance abuse treatment, and mental health treatment. Many agencies are also facing decreased financial and in-kind donations. Although the economy has opened up opportunities for capital and land investments, there is 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page lO of 93 00019 not money for operating programs or for services. Agencies are being forced to cut back services and even the possibility of shutting down. The biggest issue for the agencies is having more money available to provide public services. As the agencies that provide core social services are hit with budget crises, their clients are also being hit with the downturn of the economy and need services more than ever. The bad economy is putting many people out of work, thus they can't afford their rent or other basic needs. Currently, 40-60 families seek shelter from Shelter Network each night that Shelter Network can't house. North Peninsula Neighborhood Services Center is facing droves of people seeking emergency shelter, food, and rental assistance. Second Harvest Food Bank has experienced a 33% increase in their demand for food deliveries this year because of the increase in unemployment causing more families to rely on Second Harvest as their primary source for food. 162 families in South San Francisco are waiting tbr childcare right now because there isn't the funding. If funding for childcare is cut it will affect the economic welfare both of families who use childcare and the childcare providers. If people don't have childcare, they can't work, then they can't pay rent, and they become homeless creating a larger demand for emergency and transitional housing. There is an increasing need for rental assistance that the current programs cannot fully address: short term rental assistance is helpful, but is often only available once a year and often does not help single people who are not disabled; Section 8 is not a realistic solution because of the waiting lists, there is a 2-3 month waiting period for transitional housing. People need a transition place to help them stay housed and make a plan to secure longer-term housing. The Center for Independence of the Disabled also has a long waiting list - last year one person died and 20 other people had to leave their homes and enter institutions while waiting for assistance from CID. The agencies stressed that in prioritizing funding for social services, policy makers mnst understand how the services provided by different agencies at the local level are interconnected and the agencies depend on each other to meet the needs of their clients. For example, funding a job training program while cutting funding for child care and transportation programs would be counterproductive - how can someone work without childcare and transportation? Also, the shelters depend on agencies that prevent homelessness through rental assistance and other forms of crisis intervention. As well, La Raza Centro Legal has experienced an increasing cross over between housing emergencies and family crisis situations necessitating overlap between social work and legal services. The agencies proposed a number of different approaches to addressing the challenges they are facing. Many felt that this crisis can be a time to encourage cooperation among local agencies. NPNSC feels that this may be a time to turn to economic development in the local community in order for local residents to become more economically self-sufficient themselves. CCCC is encouraging families to advocate for them selves - for example, to write their state legislators about not cutting funding for childcare. A policy suggestion is to develop or enforce a Relocation Ordinance which stipulates that if a landlord is caught violating a code and refuses to fix the violation causing the tenants to be evicted, the city provides funds for the relocation of the tenants and then gets the money back from the landlord. Another suggestion is that because people in housing crisis often need is storage space, perhaps the City could find a way to arrange discounted storage space for low-income residents in housing crisis possibly through a tax-incentive arrangement with a min-storage company. La Raza Centro Legal also expressed that South San Francisco should continue to focus on these fair housing issues, especially doing education in the Latino community because there is a great deal of housing discrimination against Latinos. The Community Needs Survey results from community agency respondents are included in the following pages. 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 11 of 93 00020 VIII. Fair Housing In 1996, Project Sentinel and Mid-Peninsula Citizens for Fair Housing prepared an "Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing in San Mateo County, Calitbrnia." The report indicated that there is significant housing discrimination in the County, with families and children being the largest category of people discriminated against in housing choice. Claims of discrimination on the basis of race are the second largest complaint category. Today the City of South San Francisco continues to work to overcome these impediments by contracting with two agencies, Project Sentinel and La Raza Centro Legal, to assist residents with housing discrimination complaints. The two agencies provide counseling and advocacy in issues of fair housing and housing habitability. By having two agencies providing this service the City is able to offer a wider range of services to citizens needing fair housing counseling. Fair housing services are available to residents citywide. The City currently publicizes the services of these two agencies on its web site and in its fair housing brochures. The City will do further outreach to the community by including information on agencies in the City Manager's quarterly newsletter to residents. 1. Project Sentinel $5,000 HOME Provides fair housing counseling and advocacy for South San Francisco residents. Project Sentinel's work includes providing fair housing education, enlbrcement, and dispute resolution in cases of housing discrimination. Additional services include community education and information on mortgage default and delinquency. In 2003- 2004 Project Sentinel will provide casework for 10 low-income South San Francisco residents experiencing housing discrimination and respond to 140 telephone inquiries from residents requesting fair housing information. These services are available to residents citywide. The program will be funded with $5,000 in HOME funding. 2. La Raza Centro Legal $19,500 HOME and RDA Provides South San Francisco residents with fair housing counseling and legal representation in housing matters pertaining to habitability. In 2003-2004, La Raza will provide 400 low-income households citywide with information and referrals, legal advice, counseling, and legal representation. The program will be funded with $17,500 in HOME funding and $2,000 in RDA funding. 3. Updating the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing The cities of Daly City, Redwood City, San Mateo, and South San Francisco agreed to lengthen the effective date of the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing in San Mateo County, California (AI) until the end of each city's Five Year HUD Consolidated Plan period on June 30, 2003. The new Analysis of Impediments, which is currently underway, will be completed by May 1, 2003, and the San Mateo Consortium will hold public hearings as required. 2003-2004 One Year Action Plan Page 13 of l6 Onll IX. Develop an Institutional Structure to Improve and Enhance Coordination of Services The City will work closely with non-profit social service providers, other cities, the School District, the County, and the Chamber of Commerce to coordinate the delivery of services to residents. The City will also assist neighborhood groups with space for events and materials to help them conduct community activities. In 2003-2004, the City will work to strengthen its relationships with organizations serving the public. Specific eftbrts will include: Participate in the San Mateo County HOME Program Consortium Continue working with the County of San Mateo and other CDBG jurisdictions to implement HUD's Lead Safe Housing Regulation Fund twenty-five (25) non-profit agencies serving low-income residents · Continue working with Mid-Peninsula Housing Coalition to rehabilitate Willow Gardens · Participate with the County of San Mateo and other cities on the Peninsula to develop the Countywide Housing Investment Partnership (CHIP) First- Time Homebuyer Program to create opportunities ~br first-time homebuyers. · Work with businesses and the Chamber of Commerce on do~vntown beautification and other projects to improve the downtown · Work with the County of San Mateo, other entitlement cities, and nonprofit agencies to prepare a comprehensive fair housing analysis of impediments for all of San Mateo County. · Work with the County of San Mateo to develop affordable housing on County owned property located at Grand and Oak Avenues. · Work with Peninsula Habitat for Humanity to develop affordable housing at 440 Commercial Avenue. Xo Remove Barriers to Affordable Housing/Governmental Constraints In an effort to foster and maintain the supply of affordable housing and to remove barriers to affordable housing development, the City of South San Francisco will continue to monitor its public policies to identify areas where the City can make improvements. The City will continue to maintain and encourage affordable housing development by: · Implementing adopted density bonus ordinance · Enforce the City's inclusionary housing ordinance requiring that 20 percent of all new housing units in the City be affordable to moderate-income families 2003-2004 One Year Action Plan Page 14 of 16 00117 · Encourage Transit Oriented development near the South San Francisco and San Bruno BART Stations. · Amend the Zoning Ordinance to allow owners to construct second units in permitted areas and to lessen parking requirements. · Expediting reviews of affordable housing projects and provide technical assistance to developers · Apply amended zoning ordinance to give disabled residents greater flexibility making accessibility modifications to their homes XI. Monitoring Standards and Procedures The City has established procedures that ensure City programs comply with federal program requirements and City policies. For agencies that receive CDBG, HOME and RDA funding, the City requires the agencies to provide quarterly reports of accomplishments and financial records. All new grantees receive site visits fi'om City stall: These monitoring activities keep the City informed about the progress agencies are making towards meeting their objectives. The City also conducts site visits and requires the agencies to submit an annual audit. With respect to construction projects, the City asks developers to submit proof of compliance with Davis-Bacon with each invoice they submit to the City. The City Council also reviews annual reports to ensure that the City is applying its resources to meet community goals. These reports include the CAPER (Consolidated Annual Performance & Evaluation Report) for federal programs, the annual report for the Redevelopment Agency and the annual city audit. XII. Citizen Participation The City of South San Francisco has an established citizen participation plan, which is part of the 2003-2008 Consolidated Plan. In accordance with the Citizen Participation Plan, the City held public hearings and allowed for public comment periods to help determine the community's needs and review the 2003-2004 One Year Action Plan.

In fact, financial institutions did reduce lending activity in response to more stringent regulations. However, these reforms addressed lending abuses associated primarily with very risky projects, which were conceived with little relation to project economics and underlying market conditions. Bankers and regulators assert that financing is currently available for well-planned projects that are financially sound and target a demonstrated market demand. One current aspect of financing that does differ from the early 1990s is that lending institutions generally require greater contributions of equity from developers to ensure that developers share in the risk of the project by committing their own money. In this respect, financing is less likely to be available to developers who are not financially sound and lack the appropriate contribution of their own capital. For credit-worthy projects, residential construction loan rates in the early 2000s are at relatively low due to the low inflation levels that have prevailed over the last several years. Expectations of continued low inflation should help to keep financing rates at reasonable levels for the remainder of the Housing Element planning period. This is a benefit to homebuilders, who can take advantage of the interest savings on construction financing to reduce their overall cost to develop new housing. Housing Discrimination In 1996, Project Sentinel and Mid-Peninsula Citizens for Fair Housing prepared an "Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing in San Mateo County, Califbruia." The report indicated that there is significant housing discrimination in the County, with families and children being the largest category of people discriminated against in housing choice. Claims of discrimination on the basis of race are the second largest complaint category. A new Analysis of hnpediments will be completed by May 1, 2003 by Project Sentinel. Today the City of South San Francisco continues to work to overcome these i~npediments by contracting with two agencies, Project Sentinel and La Raze Centro Legal, to assist residents with housing discrimination co~nplaints. The two agencies provide counseling and advocacy in issues of fair housing and housing habitability. By having two agencies providing this service the City is able to offer a wider range of services to citizens needing fair housing counseling. Fair housing services are available to residents citywide. The City currently publicizes the services of these two agencies on its web site and in its fair housing brochures. The City will do further outreach to the community by including information on agencies in the City Manager's quarterly newsletter to residents. H. Removing Barriers to Affordable Housing/Governmental Constraints In an effort to foster and maintain the supply of affordable housing and to remove barriers to affordable housing development, the City of South San Francisco will continue to monitor its public policies to identi~y areas where the City can make improvements. Among many efforts to overcome policy barriers to affordable housing, most significantly, the City will continue to maintain and encourage affordable housing development by: · Applying density bonuses · Enforce the City's inclusionary housing ordinance requiring that 20 percent of all new housing units in the City be affordable to low-and moderate-income families · Encourage Transit Oriented development near the South San Francisco and San Bruno BART Stations. 2003-2008 Fh,e Year Consolidated Plan Page 72 of 93 00081 · Allowing owners to construct second units in permitted areas · Expediting reviews of affordable housing projects · Giving.disabled residents greater flexibility making accessibility modifications to their homes Detailed Goals, Policies and Implementation Programs32 Under California law, the housing element must include the community's goals, policies, quantified objectives, and housing programs for the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing. This Housing Element includes four policy goal statements directly relevant to iucreasing and maintaining the supply of aftbrdable housing. Under each goal statement, the element sets out policies that amplify the goal statement. Implementation programs are listed at the end of the corresponding policy or group of policies and describe briefly the proposed action, the City agencies or departments with primary responsibility/'or carrying out the progrmn, and the time frame for accomplishing the program. Several of the implementation programs also have quantified objectives listed. The following definitions describe the nature of the statements of goals, policies, implementation programs, and quantified objectives as they are used in the Housing Element Policy Document: Goal: Ultimate purpose of an elf'oft stated in a way that is general in nature and immeasurable. Policy: Specific statement guiding action and implying clear commitment. Implementation Program: An action, procedure, program, or technique that carries out policy. Implementation programs also specify primary responsibility tbr carrying out the action and an estimated time frame for its accomplishment. The time frame indicates the calendar year in which the activity is scheduled to be completed. These time fi'ames are general guidelines and may be adjusted based on City staffing and budgetary considerations. Quantified objectives (where applicable to individual implementation programs) are the number of housing units that the City expects to be constructed, conserved, or rehabilitated. Quantified Objective: the number of housing units that the City expects to be constructed, conserved, or rehabilitated, and the number of households the City expects will be assisted through Housing Element programs based on general market conditions during the time frame of the Housing Element. The housing element law recognizes that in developing housing policy and programs, identified housing needs may exceed available resources and the community's ability to satisfy these needs.

I. Anti-Poverty Strategy The City of South San Francisco has a multifaceted approach to reducing the number of families living in poverty. First, City participation in the acquisition, construction or rehabilitation of affordable housing is contingent upon restricting rents to affordable levels for low-income residents for an extended period of time (30 to 40 years). This helps reduce the number of families living in poverty by decreasing one of their largest expenses, rent, to a reasonable level. Additionally, the City's housing rehabilitation loan programs offer low- and moderate-income homeowners the opportunity to bring their homes up to current building standards by providing low-interest loans, which facilitate upgrades in a manner that does not burden the family budget. Second, the City has recently adopted an inclusionary housing ordinance that requires developers to make twenty percent (20%) of all new housing units in the City affordable to Iow- and moderate- income families. Two-fifths (2/5tbs) of the inclusionary units must be affordable to families at or below 80 percent of median income. Third, efforts to improve the historic downtown business district provide property owners with an opportunity to more effectively market their services. In addition to providing assistance for improving commercial faqades, the City actively works with the South San Francisco Chamber of Commerce to meet the needs of downtown businesses and to promote the area. These activities help create a more vibrant business community and new jobs for City residents. 2003-2008 Five Year ConsolMated Plan Page 87 of 93 Fourth, the City funds several non-profit agencies whose services help Iow-income residents. For example, by providing childcare subsidies the City is able to help Iow-income adults work or study while their children are at a childcare center. Similarly, by providing funding to an adult literacy program, the City is able to help residents find employment they may not have been able to secure before knowing how to read. Through this multitude of efforts, the City is continually working to help reduce the number of families living in poverty. J. Monitoring Standards And Procedures The City has established procedures that ensure CiD' programs comply with federal program requirements and City policies. For agencies that receive CDBG, HOME and RDA fimding, the City requires the agencies to provide quarterly reports. These reports keep the City informed about the progress agencies are making meeting their objectives. The City also conducts site visits and requires the agencies to submit an annual audit. With respect to construction projects, the City asks developers to submit proof of compliance with Davis-Bacon with each invoice they sublnit to the City. The City Council also reviews annual reports to ensure that the City is applying its resources to meet community goals. These reports include the CAPER (Consolidated Annual Performance & Evaluation Report) for federal programs, the annual report fbr the Redevelopment Agency and the annual city audit. V. FIVE YEAR STRATEGIC NON-HOUSING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN To maintain a healthy and sustainable community, the City of South San Francisco has made it a priority to undertake a variety of non-housing community development activities that will help improve the lives of low-income residents. Activities range from childcare and youth programs to senior services and battered women services. The City also uses CDBG funds for building improvements that help revitalize the Downtown, improve facilities that provide services to low-income residents, and make buildings accessible to people with disabilities. The non-housing community development activities are summarized on Table 2C of the Consolidated Plan. These activities and the rational for making them a priority are described in greater detail below. 1.0. Priority: Sustain and increase the level of business and economic activity in areas that serve or have a high percentage of low-income residents. The City's economic and community development strategy for Downtown includes structural improvements to maximize the use of co~nmercial buildings and faq:ade improvement assistance for businesses. 1.1 City-Sponsored Commercial Rehabilitation The City-Sponsored Commercial Rehabilitation provides financial and technical assistance to property owners undertaking structural, fagade and business sign improvements to their buildings. These improvements help owners increase the use of their commercial buildings, and improve the appearance of the downtown. The program is available in the Historic Downtown district. The program is funded through CDBG and is leveraged by owners' fimds and RDA funds. 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 88 of 93 2.0. Priority: Preserve and improve public facilities that serve a high percentage of Iow-income residents. Disabled access modifications and community facility rehabilitation are undertaken to improve facilities used by the low- and moderate-income community in South San Francisco. 2.1. Assist nonprofit agencies preserve and improve facilities serving the public Many nonprofit agencies occupy buildings that are not in optimal condition, or are inadequate to serve their clients. Problems can include such items as inadequate accessibility for persons with disabilities, inadequate private space for meeting with clients, dilapidated structures, and other safety code issues that need addressing. The City provides assistance to nonprofit agencies in conjunction with other jurisdictions to make improvements to nonprofit agency facilities. 2.2. Preserve and improve publicly owned facilities serving the public Many of the Project Area's public facilities are in need of improvement. The City's activities over the five-year planning period include improvement of parks, transit and other public facilities, which will have a positive impact on the physical environment and serve as a catalyst for private investment in the Downtown and in improved services for low-income residents residing near the Downtown. 2.3. Preserve and improve public infrastructure in low-income neighborhoods or serving a high percentage of low-income residents Programs are needed to alleviate blighting conditions in public infrastructure. Commuter and through traffic in the Project Area is rapidly approaching a pressure point due to shifting land uses, diversification of the economic base and the corresponding mobility needs of City residents, workers and visitors. Inadequate access and traffic congestion are problematic at various points in the Downtown. In addition, the City of South San Francisco and its Parking Place Commission are faced with a growing demand for parking in the Downtown.

Introduction The 2003-2004 One Year Action Plan describes how the City of South San Francisco will address the City's housing and non-housing community development needs during the 2003-2004 fiscal year. This year, the City of South San Francisco adopted a Five Year Consolidated Plan fbr housing and non-housing community development activities for 2003-2008. The Consolidated Plan identifies the community's needs in housing, neighborhood improvements, social services, and economic development. It also sets priorities for addressing those needs and describes how the City will use Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME, and local funds to address those needs. This document, the One Year Action Plan, is consistent with the priorities established in the 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan. A table summarizing activities planned for the year is attached as Appendix A. Tables summarizing the 2003-2008 Consolidated Housing, Economic and Community Development Plan is attached in Appendix B. The majority of programs described in the One Year Action Plan are available to residents citywide. Occasionally, certain projects are specifically targeted towards the Downtown/Old Town area (CDBG target area) where low-income and minority groups are concentrated. II. Financial Resources Funding to carry out the activities described in the One Year Action Plan comes from several sources including the federally funded CDBG and HOME programs. The City will also use local Redevelopment Agency public funds and other private resources to carry out the Plan's activities. The federal government provides CDBG funds to cities directly via annual grants. Cities can utilize these funds to revitalize low-income neighborhoods, expand affordable housing, create economic opportunities for low-income people, and improve community facilities. During the 2003-2004 fiscal year the City of South San Francisco will receive a CDBG grant of $747,000. Additionally, the City has received $92,854 in program income from rehabilitation loan repayments. The federal government provides HOME funds to cities and counties to improve and increase the supply of affordable housing for low-income people. To access HOME funds, the City of South San Francisco is part of the San Mateo County HOME Consortium. The HOME program requires jurisdictions using HOME funds to leverage these funds with local resources. The City will use Redevelopment Agency funds to meet the HOME match requirement. 2003-2004 One Year Action Plan Page 1 of 16 0010'4' For 2003-2004, the County will provide South San Francisco with $22,500 in HOME administration funds, which will be used for fair housing activities. Non-federal public resources available to the City primarily come from the City's Redevelopment Agency (RDA). RDA funds are generated through incremental property taxes in the City's redevelopment areas. The City must use 20 percent of the tax increment on housing activities that benefit persons at or below 120 percent of the median income. Other local governmental funds the City will use include Public Purpose bonds and State tax credits. Nonprofit agencies and private investors xvill participate in many of the activities described in the One Year Action plan. In many cases their participation will leverage both federal and local public funds used to carry out these activities. Private leveraging is discussed further in this plan where appropriate. IH. Housing Activities A. Priority: Increase, maintain and improve the supply of affordable housing for low- and moderate-income individuals and families. The San Mateo County Consortium has determined that creating new aftbrdable rental units is a high priority in San Mateo County. The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) estimates that new housing construction will not be aflbrdable to low- and moderate-income households. To help meet the need for new aflbrdable housing, public and nonprofit agencies will have to increase their effbrts to make aftbrdable housing available. The most suitable location for affordable multi-family housing is generally urban areas near transportation and services, and in cities' redevelopment areas. In South San Francisco, the City is focusing affordable housing efforts along the proposed new BART corridor and on E1 Camino Real. The high cost of developing housing and the subsidies needed to make new units affordable to low- and moderate-income families makes the construction of new affordable units difficult. In addition, there is a limited amount of land suitable for affordable housing development in South San Francisco. These and other factors outlined in the San Mateo County and the South San Francisco Consolidated Plan provide the basic rationale for South San Francisco making housing rehabilitation a priority. 1. New Housing Construction a. County Property at Grand and Oak Avenues Tax Credits, RDA The City is negotiating with the County of San Mateo to construct approximately 45 affordable family apartments on County owned land at Grand and Oak Avenues. The planning and entitlement process will tentatively begin in 2003, construction in 2004, and if the collaboration succeeds, the units will be completed in 2005. The units will be affordable to low- and moderate-income families and funded with Tax Credits and RDA 2003-2004 One Year Action Plan Page 2 of 16 0al05 Funds. The cost of this development is not known at this time. b. 440 Commercial Avenue $450,000 Sources TBD In FY 02-03 the City's redevelopment Agency purchased an empty lot at 440 Commercial Avenue for the purpose of constructing affordable housing. The City is negotiating an agreement with Peninsula Habitat for Humanity to construct four three- bedroom units affordable to families earning below 50% AMI. The units would tentatively be completed in FY 2004-05 and would be sold to four large low-income families. The Agency will contribute the land and Habitat provides materials and volunteer labor to construct the units. Habitat also provides Mortgage Financing for the acquisition by low income families who are also required to volunteer 500 hours of labor as sweat equity. c. Inclusionary Housing Development-Below Market Rate (BMR) Units Private Funds Under the City's 20% Inclusionary Housing Ordinance various developers will making new affordable units in market rate projects they develop available to residents at or below 80% of the area median income and residents at or below 120% of the area median income (AMI). Projects will be either rental or ownership units depending on the type of project under development. No public funds will be used to develop BMR units because the private developers pay for the entire development. The following projects are at a various stages of planning and development and xvill be completed as early as 03-04 and as late as 08-09: · Oak Farms - 5 units aflbrdable to people at or below 120% AMI · 90 Oak Avenue - 1 unit aflbrdable to people at or below 80% AMI and 2 affordable to people at or below 120% AMI · Fairfield Residential Project - 29 units affordable to people at or below 80% AMI and 43 affordable to people at or below 120% AMI · Marbella - 28 units affordable to people at or below 80% AMI and 42 affordable to people at or below 120% AMI 2. Acquisition and Rehabilitation The City will work with private rental property owners and non-profit organizations to identify suitable rental properties that can be acquired and/or rehabilitated to provide housing for low- and very low-income renters. The types of rental properties targeted will consist of 4 to 12 unit structures and/or residential hotels. The primary funding sources for rental properties will be HOME, CDBG, and RDA funds. One multi-year project currently underway is Willow Gardens. a. Willow Gardens $14,000,000 mixed sources The City has partnered with Mid-Peninsula Housing Coalition to acquire and rehabilitate approximately twelve four-plex units (48 units total) in the Willow Gardens neighborhood. The City plans to convert these units into permanent affordable rental units that will be owned and managed by Mid-Peninsula. The units will be affordable to households at or below 50 - 60% of median income. The City and Mid-Peninsula have acquired seven buildings (28 units) to date and will continue to acquire them as they become available. The City anticipates purchasing 1-2 four-plex units during 2003- 2004, depending on availability. 2003-2004 One Year Action Plan Page 3 of 16 The Willow Gardens neighborhood is located in the El Camino Corridor Redevelopment Project Area. Acquisition and rehabilitation is funded by HOME, Section 108, Redevelopment Agency Funds, Public Purpose Bond, Private Activity bonds and Tax Credits. Total project costs will be $14,000,000. b. Downtown Affordable Housing Program $500,000 (estimate, mixed sources) The Downtown Affbrdable Housing Program is designed to provide affordable rental housing for low- and very-low income residents through the acquisition and rehabilitation of dilapidated housing stock in or near the downtown. Of special interest are unoccupied Single Room Occupancy hotels and 4-6 unit apartment buildings. The City conducts feasibility analysis on a regular basis to determine viability of acquisitions. Should an opportunity to create af~brdable units present itselt; the City will immediately allocate funds to the project funded with either RDA, HOME funds or CDBG. 3. Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation a.

These funds are targeted for administration of the Rehab Program, actual loans, or acquisition funds as needed, based on opportunity that arise. The City also funds the Voucher Programs and the House Helpers Program through this CDBG Allocation to the City-Sponsored Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program: i. Voucher Program (Sub-program of City Sponsored Rehabilitation Program) The City administers a housing rehabilitation voucher program that makes grants available to low-income homeowners in the Downtown/Old Town area and citywide. The Voucher program is a grant subprogram of the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program and is not funded separately. Vouchers are used in limited situations and for limited amounts of money when the usual loan process is prohibitively expensive or too time consuming to clear up an emergency situation. The City will expend approximately $30,000 from the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program to fund the voucher program. There are two different types of Vouchers available: Emergency Code Violation Vouchers provide homeowners a grant of up to $2,500 to clear up code violations in their homes. This program will assist 12 low-income residents in 2003-2004 using approximately $5,000 to $10,000. 2003-2004 One Year Action Plan Page 4 of 16 nnl07 Debris Box Vouchers help low- and moderate-income residents in the Downtown/Old Town area and citywide remove accumulated debris and yard waste from their properties.

These improvements help owners increase the use of their commercial buildings, and improve the appearance of the downtown. The program is available in the Historic Downtown district. The program is funded through CDBG and is leveraged by owners' funds and RDA funds. During 2003-2004, the City will assist 5 to 8 business. The program will be funded with $175,000 in CDBG and $150,000 in RDA funding. C. Priority: Preserve and improve public facilities that serve a high percentage of low-income residents. Disabled access modifications and community facility rehabilitation are undertaken to improve facilities used by the low- and moderate-income community in South San Francisco. 1. Families on Track $20,000 CDBG Families on Track plans to use this funding to acquire and install a modular unit to expand existing facility at 825 Parkway and house its services, which include counseling, after school programming, and parenting education. Families on Track will serve approximately 180 low- and very-low-income households citywide in 2003-2004. This money has been leveraged because the school district has covered the cost of laying the foundation for the modular unit. The City will allocate $20,000 of CDBG funds to the program in 2003-2004 and incorporates $40,000 allocated in 2002-2003 2003-2004 One Year Action Plan Page 10 of 16 00113 V. Needs of Public Housing The South San Francisco Public Housing Authority operates as a separate entity and submits a Consolidated Plan to HUD separately from the City of South San Francisco. The South San Francisco PHA manages 80 units of affordable public housing. Information about the needs and strategy of the South San Francisco PHA can be found in the South San Francisco PHA 2000-2004 Consolidated Plan. VI. Anti-Poverty Strategy The City of South San Francisco has a multit:aceted approach to reducing the number of families living in poverty. First, City participation in the acquisition, construction or rehabilitation of affbrdable housing is contingent upon restricting rents to affordable levels for low-income residents lbr an extended period of time (30 to 40 years). This helps reduce the number of families living in poverty by decreasing one of their largest expenses, rent, to a reasonable level. Additionally, the City's housing rehabilitation loan programs offer low- and moderate-income homeowners the opportunity to bring their homes up to current building standards by providing low-interest loans, which facilitate upgrades in a manner that does not burden the family budget. Second, the City has recently adopted an inclusionary housing ordinance that requires developers to make twenty percent (20%) of all new housing units in the City affordable to moderate-income families. All of the inclusionary units must be aftbrdable to families at or below 80% or at or below 120% of the area median income as stipulated in the inclusionary ordinance. Third, eftbrts to improve the historic downtown business district provide property owners with an opportunity to undertake exterior business improvements, which can include signs, awnings and exterior painting. These improvements help owners increase the use of their commercial buildings and improve the appearance of the Historic Downtown district. In addition to providing assistance for improving commercial facades, the City actively works with the South San Francisco Chamber of Commerce to meet the needs of downtown businesses and to promote the area. These activities help create a more vibrant business community and new jobs for City residents. Fourth, the City funds several non-profit agencies whose services help low-income residents. For example, by providing childcare subsidies the City is able to help low- income adults work or study while their children are at a childcare center. Similarly, by providing funding to an adult literacy program, the City is able to help residents find employment they may not have been able to secure before knowing how to read. Through this multitude of efforts, the City is continually working to help reduce the number of families living in poverty. 2003-2004 One Year Action Plan Page 11 of 16 00114 VII. Lead-Based Paint Abatement Program The City of South San Francisco is aware of lead paint hazards in its community because of the age of the existing housing stock, particularly in the historic downtown district. The San Mateo County Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program has identified the City as a high-risk area. This designation is based on the City being in the upper 50th percentile for proportion of families living in poverty as well as the City's proportion of population under the age of six and proportion of housing stock built before 1950. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) promulgated new regulations on September 15, 1999, establishing requirements fbr notification, evaluation, and reduction of lead-based paint hazards in federally owned residential property and housing receiving ['ederal assistance. The purpose of these regulations is to protect children under the age of six by eliminating or minimizing lead-based paint hazards in housing. The regulation significantly increases the quantity of testing and home maintenance, repair, or rehabilitation work that must be perfbrmed in a lead-safe manner. They also require lead hazard controls based on programs, which vary depending on the nature of the activity, amount of assistance, and duration of the relationship with the recipient of federal funding. HUD's new Lead Safe Housing Regulation took effect on September 15, 2000. The County of San Mateo and the cities of South San Francisco, San Mateo, Daly City, and Redwood City worked together to submit a Lead Based Paint Transition Plan to HUD and to implement the regulations by August 2001. South San Francisco has met this deadline and is in compliance with the regulations. To implement the regulations, the City will continue to work with other cities in San Mateo County and the County of San Mateo to make training classes available to city staff' and contractors. Besides sharing information on training classes, the cities and County will to maintain a list of certified contractors and maintenance/rehab workers that can perform work for all the jurisdictions. The City will also encourage its regular contractors and their workers to become certified abatement workers/supervisors. Bid packages will include information about lead-based paint hazards and training available to contractors. Outreach efforts will also include letters, media publications and other direct outreach to the City's contractors and other potential contractors. The City of South San Francisco will also continue to attend lead information meetings held regularly with the County of San Mateo and other cities on the Peninsula. During these meetings the cities and County will continue to share information about training courses, certified lead abatement contractors and workers, as well as plan efforts to increase the supply of certified workers throughout the County. 2003-2004 One Year Action Plan Page 12 of 16 00115 StaffReport DATE: TO: FROM: SUBJECT: April 9, 2003 Honorable Mayor and City Council Assistant City Manager Request from C/CAG to Support Assembly Bill 1546 and Assembly Constitutional Amendment 10 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council consider a request from the City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County (C/CAG) to send letters of support for Assembly Bill (AB) 1546 and Assembly Constitutional Amendment (ACA) 10. BACKGROUND/DIS CUS SION AB 1546 has been sponsored by C/CAG and will authorize the C/CAG Board to levy an assessment of up to four dollars on the motor vehicle registration fee to support two types of programs that address the impacts of automobiles. The first program is to deal with traffic congestion. The fimding will be used for a wide range of transportation services throughout the County. Some of these projects could include more shuttle services, implementing intelligent transportation systems, and enhancements to our transit network. The second program is to address the storm water pollution that is directly the result of automobiles. The copper residue from brake pads and the condensation of mercury from vehicle exhaust are major sources of pollution in storm drains and ultimately in the Bay, the Ocean, and local streams and creeks. Funding from this bill will be available to support Countywide efforts to manage storm water pollution and also to provide grants to the cities and the County for its locally managed programs. This bill has the potential to raise almost $3 million dollars per year for these programs. ACA 10 will exclude fees and charges for storm water and urban runoff management from the two- thirds electoral vote requirement under Proposition 218. This exclusion will enable C/CAG to increase parcel fees in order to pay for the increased unfounded State mandates under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Program. Date: April 9, 2003 To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Subject: Request from C/CAG to Support Assembly bill 1546 and Assembly Constitutional Amendment 10 Page 2 CONCLUSION C/CAG is urging all of the cities in San Mateo County to send letters of support for AB 1546 and ACA 10 to their state legislators. Letters of support are attached for Council's review. Representatives from C/CAG will be present this evening to respond to any questions or comments. Respectfully submitted, ~. l~agel -/z6'a~ Assistant City Mana~..~_r___ City Manager Attachments: 1. Letter of Support for AB 1546 - 4/9/03 2. Letter of Support for ACA 10 - 4/9/03 3. Congestion Relief Pilot Program 4. AB 1546 Attachment 1 April 9,2003 Honorable Joe Simitian State Capitol - Room 5119 Sacramento, CA 95814 Re: SUPPORT OF C/CAG SPONSORED ASSEMBLY BILL 1546 Dear Assemblyman Simitian: The City of South San Francisco supports the C/CAG sponsored Bill AB 1546 that would authorize C/CAG to assess up to $4 in motor vehicle fees. The purpose of this fee is to establish a pilot program that would fund congestion management activities to reduce congestion to the benefit of the driving motorist. It would also provide funding for motor vehicle related programs of the state mandated (unfounded) Countywide Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (STOPPP). The first objective of AB 1546 is to maximize the capacity of the current transportation infrastructure through transportation system measures. These measures include, but are not limited to ramp metering, employer and local shuttles, intelligent transportation systems, real time information systems on the freeway, park and ride lots, and advanced accident removal systems with automatic rerouting of traffic. The second objective is to address the storm water pollution that flows to San Francisco Bay as a result of the debris from motor vehicles and its infrastructure. The Stormwater Program is an unfunded State mandate. Some of the programs it will support include but are not limited to countywide public education, grants to local jurisdictions, countywide monitoring and studies, and training for city and county staff to meet permit requirements. This will provide an ongoing source of funding for capital and operating expenses for the storm water pollution prevention programs that are mandated under the Clean Water Act, but not funded by the State. AB 1546 will be financially beneficial to all cities and the County as a whole. Your carrying this Bill is appreciated and we look forward to working with you to gain passage of this piece of litigation. Please feel free to contact me at (650) 877-8500 if you have any questions. Sincerely, Pedro Gonzalez Mayor Attachment 2 April 9, 2003 Honorable Tom Harman State Capitol - Room 5158 Sacramento, CA 95814 Re: SUPPORT OF ASSEMBLY CONSTITUTIONAL AMMENDMENT 10 Dear Assemblyman Harman: The City of South San Francisco supports ACA 10, which will exclude fees and charges for stormwater and urban runoff management from Proposition 218 voting requirements. This Bill will greatly enhance the ability of local jurisdictions to fund and operate the types of stormwater management programs that were envisioned in the Clean Water Act. Given the importance of ACA 10 to our Community, we would also like to offer additional support such as testifying, talking to other legislators, or any additional action you think would be useful. Please let us know how we can assist you further. We look forward to working with you on this very important piece of legislation. Please feel free to contact me at (650) 877-8500 if you have any questions.

At-Risk Units The owners of the Skyline View Gardens, a 160-unit project that was funded under the HUD Section 236 program, prepaid the project's HUD loan in July 1996 and opted out of the program. As a result, 78 project-based Section 8 units were lost, and all of the units at the project are now market-rate. The California Housing Partnership's database lists the Fairway Apartments, a senior project with 74 units with Section 8 subsidies, expiring July 30, 2000. However, the Section 8 contract has been extended to July 30, 2005. According to the owner's representative, there are no plans at the present to opt out of the program. The estimated cost of continuing to subsidize the 74 assisted units at the Fairway Apartments if the Section 8 subsidy is lost is $900,000 per year based on the average monthly HUD subsidy payment under the current Section 8 contract ($75,000). 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 43 of 93 00052 The City will monitor the status of projects with expiring affordability covenants and contact owners concerning their plans to continue or opt out of the programs. As necessary, the City will identify potential buyers and possible sources of City funding, for example housing set-aside funds, to supplement primary sources, such as the low income tax credits. The City will refer to HCD's Internet site (www.hcd.ca.gov) for the listing of individuals and organizations interested in the first-right-of-refusal program. One of the City's main housing priorities is to: Increase, maintain and improve the supply of affordable housing for low- and moderate-income individuals and families. The City prioritizes affordable housing because of the huge need for affordable housing in our region, and in South San Francisco. B. Housing Needs Assessment Citywide & Geographic Distribution of Moderate, Low, & Very Low-Income People~4 Almost half of South San Francisco residents are at 80% of the area median income (AMI) or below. These income levels are in stark contrast to high housing prices in the region and in South San Francisco. · 47% of SSF residents are at 80% AMI or below (includes moderate, low, and very low) 28,316 residents (21% are specifically moderate income) · 26% of SSF residents are at 50% AMI or below (includes low and very low income) 15,352 residents (15% are specifically low-income - 12,964) · 11% of SSF residents are at 30% AMI or below (includes very low income) 6,374 residents Certain Census tracks have a higher concentration of moderate, low, and very low-income people, while others have lower. Census Tract % Pop Moderate % Pop Low % Pop Very Income and Below Income and Below Low Income (<__$61,700) (<$38,550) (<__$23,150) 6021 74% 48% 21% 6022 68% 40% 20% 6001 55% 54% 20% 6023 50% 29% 11% 6019 48% 27% 10% 6017 43% 23% 9% 6024 43% 21% 10% 6018 41% 21% 7% 6020 39% 17% 10% 6026 37% 19% 8% 6025 32% 15% 5% The above average concentrations of moderate, low, and very Iow income people are on San Bruno Mountain along 10 l, the Old Town/Downtown area, and the Mayfair Neighborhood. 14 Census 2000 Data on Moderate, Low and Very Low Income Family and Non-Family Households 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 44 of 93 00053 The block groups with the highest percentage of moderate, low, and very low income people are in the Old Town/Downtown area: Census Block % Pop Mod. Inc. and % Pop Low Inc. and % Pop Very Low Inc Tract Group below below 6022 1 82% 65% 31% 6021 3 85% 59% 28% For this reason, many CDBG funded activities are focused on the Downtown/Old Town area. Ability to Pay for Housing by Household Size and Income Category The following section discusses cmTent inco~ne levels and ability to pay for housing compared with housing costs. Housing is classified as "affordable" if households do not pay more than 30 percent of income for payment of rent (including monthly allowance tbr water, gas, and electricity) or monthly mortgage (including taxes). Table T on the following page shows the 2001 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)-defined family income Ii,nits for Iow and moderate Income households in the San Francisco PMSA (including South San Francisco) by the number of persons in the household. It also shows maximum affordable monthly rents and maximum affordable purchase prices for homes as compared to the actual costs of housing in South San Francisco in 2001. The only low-income resident who would be able to pay rent without paying more than 30% of their income would be a single person making close to $30,000 a year and renting a single room in a house for $700.00 per month. For households of t~vo or more, the fair market rent gets increasingly larger than the household's ability to pay, to the point that the fair market rent to accommodate a family of five is $2,113, almost twice a Iow-income family of five's ability to pay for rent ($1,148). Moderate income households up to the size of 4 are better able to pay for rent. But moderate income households of 4 or more fall short of limiting the cost of housing to 30% of their income. The County estimates that a family of three with one income-earner would need to make $33.81 per hour just to make ends meet, while only one-third of people in South San Francisco work in sectors likely to pay this wage. As the table shows, households of moderate income or below do not even come close to being able to purchase a house in this area.

Based on a methodology that weighs a number of factors (e.g., projected population growth, employment, commute patterns, available sites), ABAG determined quantifiable needs for housing units in the region according to various income categories. Table D depicts the South San Francisco's estimated need tbr the 7 ~A year period from 1999 - 2006. In its final Regional Needs Determination (RHND) figures, ABAG allocated 1,331 housing units to the City of South San Francisco. The total allocation is broken down into four income categories: very low (277 units or 20.8 percent of total units), Iow (131 units or 9.8 percent of total units), moderate (360 units or 27.0 percent of total units), and above moderate (563 units or 42.3 percent of total units). In other words, of the 1,331 units allocated, 57.6 percent must be in the at'tbrdable range (very Iow, Iow, moderate) and 44.3 percent in the above range. Between January 1, 1999, and December 31, 2001, South San Francisco approved or built 1,688 new units. Of the 1,688 permits issued and units constructed between 1999 and 2001, 264 of those units were considered affordable housing units (i.e., affbrdable to very low, low, and moderate income households). In an effort to relate this building and permitting activity to the 1999-2006 ABAG need determination figures, the South San Francisco Economic & Community Development Department assigned each new unit to one of the four income categories specified in the ABAG needs determination. The results of this analysis are also shown in Table U. After accounting for approved and constructed housing units between January 1, 1999, and December 31, 2001, South San Francisco's remaining fair share need is 504 new units (110 very low, 131 low, and 263 moderate). The City has satisfied its need for above moderate, having a surplus of 1,021 units above the 563-unit allocation.

Housing Needs - Cost Burden, Over-Crowding, and Substandard Housing, Renters and Owners Cost Burden~° Many South San Francisco households, and especially renters, elderly renters, and owners likely to have children at home, face the cost burden of paying more than 30% of their income for housing costs. 43% of all renters pay more than one-third of their income tbr housing costs. Elderly renters face severe housing costs on fixed incomes - 63% of South San Francisco renters over the age of 65 pay more than one-third of their incomes lbr housing costs, up f¥om 55% in 1990.~7 Overall, 30% of homeowners in South San Francisco face cost burden. Homeowners between 25 and 44 face the most cost burden with 41% of this age group paying more than 30% of their income for housing costs. It is probably not a coincidence that householders aged 25 to 44, who are most likely to have children under 18 in their household, face the worst cost-burden among home owners. Over-Crowding The U.S. Census defines an overcrowded unit as one with more than one person per room, excluding bathrooms. 18% (3495) of all South San Francisco housing units (19,691) are overcrowded by this definition. Overcrowding is more prevalent in renter-occupied units. Overcrowded renter households make up 11% of all South San Francisco housing units and overcrowded owner households make tip 7% of all South San Francisco housing units. 11% (1351) of all owner occupied units (12,322) are overcrowded and 30% (2144) of all renter occupied units (7,369) are overcrowded. Substandard Housing According to the 2002 South San Francisco General Plan Housing Element, there are 2,380 housing units in need of rehabilitation in South San Francisco. 13% of all units in need of rehabilitation in San Mateo County are in South San Francisco.~s According to the 2000 Census, 67% (13,565) units in South San Francisco are over 30 years old. Older housing stock may indicate a greater need for rehabilitation and greater likelihood of substandard housing conditions. Some substandard housing conditions are less sizeable problems in South San Francisco. Of the total 19,677 South San Francisco households: 92 households do not have telephone service; 195 households reported not using some form of heating fuel to heat their homes; 99 households reported lacking complete plumbing facilities; and 141 households reported lacking complete kitchen facilities.19 In a survey of South San Francisco residents with a very small sample size (135) conducted by the Housing and Community Development Department, the most commonly listed habitability problem was mold and mildew (31 respondents listed this as a problem with their current housing).2° In a statistically sound survey of 392 Old Town residents which was conducted by professional consultants, the following habitability issues were raised: "respondents most frequently indicated the presence of chipped or flaking paint (9.4%), electrical problems (8.7%) and broken or leaking windows (8.4)%. A small potion ~6 All cost-burden data is from the 2000 Census unless otherwise noted. ~7 2000 Census and South San Francisco General Plan Housing Element 2002 is City/County Association of Governments Census and Housing Data Source Book 2002 ~9 2000 Census 20 See Community Needs Survey summary of Resident Respondents in Citizen Comments section 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 48 ~f 93 00057 indicated the presence of a leaking roof (3.1%) or gas smell around the stove or oven (3.8%).''2~ (This survey did not ask respondents about mold or mildew.) This same survey asked residents to rate the condition of ho~nes in their neighborhood. 21.8% of Old Town respondents rated the condition of homes in their neighborhood as "Fair/Poor." Housing Needs - Small and Large Families and Single People Non-family households are disproportionately represented among very-low income households in South San Francisco in all census tracts except for 6021 (Old Town) and 6026 (Westborough).:2 At the same time, housing costs become increasingly unaffordable for households as the number in the household increases. As noted in Table F, in the section on ability to pay, the only low-income resident who would be able to pay rent without paying more than 30% of their income would be a single person making close to $30,000 a year and renting a single room in a house tbr $700.00 per month. For households of two or more, the fair market rent gets increasingly larger than the household's ability to pay, to the point that the fair market rent to accommodate a family of 5 is $2,113, ahnost twice a low-income family of five's ability to pay for rent ($1,148). Moderate income households up to the size of 4 are better able to pay for rent. But moderate income households of 4 or more fall short of li~niting the cost of housing to 30% of their income? Housing Needs - Elderly The elderly are a significant special needs group in South San Francisco. 28.4% of all SSF households include individuals who are 65 and over. 13% (7,632) of South San Francisco residents are over 65, and almost half have a disability. Countywide, the population of people over 75 has increased 34% since 1990.24 Large portions of South San Francisco seniors are low-income. Of South San Francisco households with householders 65-74 years old, 42% (1,052 households) are low income or below having an income of less than $35,000. Of households with householders 75 years old or older, 60% (1,208 households) have an income below $35,000 and are low income or below. The median income for households with a householder 65-74 years old is $39,968 - even for only one person in the household, this median income is below 60% of the area median income for the region. The median income for a household with a householder over 74 is $29,184, well below 50% of the area median income for a household of one.2s In 1996 there were 954 SSI recipients 65 and older in SSF. SSI is a needs-based program that pays monthly benefits to persons who are 65 or older,, blind, or have a disability. Seniors who have never worked or have insufficient work credits to qualify for Social Security disability often receive SSI benefits. In fact, SSI is the only source of income for a number of Iow-income seniors. With the maximum monthly benefit currently $712, SSI recipients are likely to have difficulty in finding housing that fits within their budgets since they could afford to pay only $214 for rent? There are 4,197 senior householders in SSF. 26% (1071) are renters and 74% (3,125) are owners. Elderly renters face severe housing costs on fixed incomes - 63% of South San Francisco renters over the age of 65 pay more than one-third of their incomes for housing costs, up from 55% in 1990. 2~ South San Francisco Community Partnership Community Profile Survey.

San Mateo County Health Department HIV services see 554 clients per year. Latinos are among the fastest-growing populations with HIV, as seen in the hospital and clinics in San Mateo County.TM Many of the people living with AIDS in the Cotmty need financial and housing assistance. In one year of the San Mateo County AIDS services program: 126 clients received Emergency Financial Assistance, the Food Program served 238 clients, and Residential Services served 184 clients. Women and African Americans are over-represented among people living with AIDS who are in economic hardship and need some form of social services from the county. In living AIDS cases, 84% are male and 16% are female. In the County's primary care services, the ratio is 73% male and 27% female and in food services, the ratio is 58% male and 42% female. While 64% of cumulative AIDS cases and 58% of living AIDS cases were among Whites, they only make up 37% of those using the County's primary care services. African Americans make up 18% of cumulative and 21% of living AIDS cases compared to their percentage of 34% of the clients in the County primary care program and 50% of clients in the food program. African Americans make up just 3.5% of the County's population. There is a vastly disproportionate impact, as shown by the AIDS case rates by race and year of diagnosis, on the African American community. San Mateo has only in home hospice services and no residential care facilities. The Mental Health Association is their housing provider and the residential services are varied--shallow rent subsidies are one example. The county currently places HIV clients in non-HIV specific housing. Housing is a major problem in the County and San Mateo County has lost more clients to its housing crisis than to HIV/AIDS itself because people living with AIDS couldn't find Section 8 Housing. ELLIPSE, one of the service providers for people living with HIV/AIDS in South San Francisco has also expressed the need for rental assistance specifically for people living with HIV/AIDS. Housing Needs - People with Disabilities According to the 2000 Census, 10,044 people in South San Francisco have a disability. Almost I in 5 South San Francisco residents between 21 and 64 years old have a disability. 43% of the elderly 27 All Information from San Francisco HIV Health Services Planning Council Minutes, May 21, 2001 Unless otherwise noted ,_~ The Independent Saturday, January 1 l, 2003 "AIDS Rates for Hispanics on the Ride" by Sara Zaske 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 50 of 93 00059 population in South San Francisco has a disability. In Table C in the Special Needs Populations Section, you will find a break down of the kinds of disabilities that South San Francisco residents have. There are 4,481 people in South San Francisco over the age of 16 with an employment disability, which may indicate a need for housing affordable to people who are unable to work due to their disability. There are 4,669 people in South San Francisco over the age of 16 that have a go-outside-the~home disability, which may indicate a need for assisted housing for those individuals that do not live with others who can help take care of their needs that require leaving the home. The South San Francisco 2002 General Plan [lousing Element reports the following information/'rom service providers on the need of people with disabilities: The State Independent Living Council's (SILC) 1998 report, Independent Living, provides a perspective on the housing needs of persons with disabilities. SILC polled the independent living centers across the state to determine the major factors that hinder people with disabilities from living independently. The SILC identified housing as a critical issue, as follows: Housing is a huge problem for most people with disabilities. Not only is there a scarcity of low-income housing located in each community, there is even less barrier-tree Iow-income housing. For individuals who are receiving a total gross income of $640 on Supplemental Security Income (SSI), paying market rate for any type of apartment or house is a virtual impossibility. South San Francisco does not have any affordable housing development built specifically for persons with disabilities, though some units at some ot' the affordable projects have handicap- accessible units. The Peninsula Association for Retarded Children and Adults (PARCA) provides housing for l 1 clients and supplements the rent at tbur apartments at Peninsula Pines and a house in Westborough. The City provides CDBG funding to the Center for Independence of Disabled to ~nake accessibility modifications to enable persons with disabilities to stay in their homes or move to new housing. Additionally, the minor repair programs sponsored by the City provide assistance to persons with disabilities to undertake home repairs that increase access. The housing coordinator for the Golden Gate Center is organizing a coalition of agencies such as PARCA and Life Steps, nonprofit developers, and parents to address the housing needs of developmentally disabled persons in San Mateo County. The coalition plans to request each city as well as the county to include units for developmentally disabled in their affordable housing developments and to request the San Mateo Housing Authority to increase the number of Section 8 vouchers for this group. The City also provides funding for the Human Investment Project Home Sharing Program. Housing Needs - Public Housing Residents and Residents on Public Housing and Section 8 Wait-Lists The South San Francisco Public Housing Authority submits a separate Consolidated Plan to HUD. In their Consolidated Plan the PHA indicates its efforts to meet the needs of families at or below 30% and 50% AMI and families with a person with a disability. There are currently 74 families on the PHA waiting list, which has been closed for 2 years. 70% of these families are below 30% AMI, 14% are between 50 and 30% AMI, and 16% are between 50-80% AMI. 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 51 of 93 00060 77% of the families on the waiting list have children, 5% have a member with a disability, and 14% are elderly. The majority of families on the waiting list (52%) are waiting for a 2-bedroom unit, and 26% need three-bedroom units.29 Section 8 is administered by San Mateo County and the County cannot provide detailed statistics on South San Francisco residents on the Section 8 wait-list. The entire Section 8 wait-list for San Mateo County has 10,129 households on it. Of this number, 523 households are current South San Francisco residents. On the entire San Mateo County Section 8 wait-list, 3 1% of the households consist of one person, 27% consist of 2 people, 18% consist of 3 people, 12% consist of 4 people, and 10% consist of 5 or more people. C. Projected Five Year Housing Needs Following is a description of the City's estimates of the housing needs for moderate, low- and very low income residents over the five-year Consolidated Plan period. New Housing Development: The Association of Bay Area Governments has determined that the City of South San Francisco will need 277 very low-income housing units, 131 low-income housing units, and 360 housing units for fmnilies between 80 and 120 percent of median incmne. Overcrowding: Overcrowding will continue to be a housing issue, particularly for renters in lower income areas. The largest incidence of overcrowded units is occurring in the Downtown. Additional rental housing unit, particularly for lower income families and persons should be a priority in the next five years. Substandard Housing: Based on the condition of housing units in the City as a whole, staff does not estimate that the number of substandard units in the housing stock will increase significantly in the next five years. However, deferred maintenance and neglect of the existing housing stock can change this situation easily, particularly in lower income areas. Housing rehabilitation for both renter and owner occupied housing units should continue to be a priority, especially for very low and low-income households. D. Summary of Housing Priorities and Objectives Based on the estimates of housing needs and the market analysis, the City has made it a priority to: Increase, maintain and improve the supply of affordable housing for Iow- and moderate-income individuals and families. This central priority is further divided into a set sub-priorities for housing and specific housing objectives which are described in Table 2A, Table 2C and in the descriptions below. The basis on which the City set the priorities and objectives for addressing housing needs is based on the preceding analysis of the city's housing characteristics, severity of housing problems, and the needs for each category of resident identified in Table 2A. Based on the market conditions and needs described earlier in this report the City has prepared Table 2A which assigns priority need levels to renters by income and family size, as well as to owners, "others," and special needs groups. These priorities use the 2000 Census as well as other sources such as ABAG as the foundation for setting the priority levels. In summary, the City is high priority to small-related renter households and large related renter households that are below 80 percent (80%) of median income. The City is also giving high priority to single individual renters earning between zero and thirty percent (0- 29 All information about the PHA comes from the 2000-2004 PHA Plan 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 52 of 93 00061 30%) median family income, and to homeowners earning below 80 percent (80%) median income. Medium priority is going to seniors earning 51 and 80 percent of median income because over the next five years several inclusionary below market rate units will become available that will be suitable for seniors at this income level. Medium Priority is also going to senior renters earning between zero and fifty (0-50%) of median income and single individual renters s earning between 31 and 80 percent of median income, although no specific goals have been set to build more housing for this specific group of seniors in the next five years because of the City's recent accomplishments creating a significant number of very low-income senior units. However, this does not preclude the City from pursuing another low- income senior rental project should an outstanding opportunity become available. The City is also giving medium priority to the housing needs of special groups earning zero to eighty percent (0-80%) of median income. Obstacles to Meeting Housing Needs The principal obstacles for meeting the housing needs of low-income residents are market conditions, the lack of available resources, and regulatory constraints as described in section G- Barriers To Aflbrdable Housing, Market conditions and lack of resources, however, are the greatest obstacles to creating affordable housing. While governmental processing and tees add somewhat to the cost of' housing, market factors such as the cost of land, construction and financing play a much greater role in determining the mnount and cost of new housing. The cost of land in South San Francisco is very high, due to its limited supply. The cost of construction adds substantially to housing prices as well. In 2001 the City esti~nated the construction cost for multi-family development housing at $240,000 to $275,000 for a typical two- bedroom unit. Adding developer overhead and indirect costs, such as project management, design, marketing and taxes, financing for construction, and profits, and governmental fees result in estimated sales price of over $400,000. Very few families having low- to moderate-income of $56,550 to $90,500 per year (80 to 120% of the County median) could afford a unit priced at up to $400,000. A low-income household of three earning $56,600 per year (80% of the County median) in 2003 could afford a unit priced at up to $214,721 with a five percent down payment. Without substantial subsidies, the private market cannot build affordable housing for low-income households in South San Francisco. 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 53 of 93 0006 o PRIORITY HOUSING NEEDS (households) TABLE 2A Priority Housing Needs Summary Table Priority Need Level Unmet High, Medium, Low Need Goals H 5-7 Rchab/New 0-30% Small Related H 6-8 Rchab/New 31-$0% H 11-20 51-80°?o Rehab/New H 12-15 0-30% Rehab/New Large H 12-15 Related 31-50% Rehab/New H 15-16 51-80% Rehab/New Renter M 0 0-30% Elderly M 0 31-50% M 2-4 New 51-80% H 10-20 Rehab 0-30% All Other L 0 31-50% L 0 51-80% H 71-78 Rehab 0-30% Owner ' H 137- 148 Rehab 31-50% 4 New H 70-73 Rehab 51-80% 7-24 New Buyers Special Needs 0-80% M 150 Total Goals 512-582 Rehab/New Total 215 Goals 0 Total 215 Renter Goals 0 Total 215 Owner Goals 0 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidaled Plan Page 54 of 93 00063 Rental Housing Objectives The San Mateo County Consortium has determined that creating new affordable rental units is a high priority in San Mateo County. However, the high cost of developing new housing and the subsidies needed to make new units aflbrdable to low- and moderate-income families makes the construction of new affordable units very difficult. In addition, there is a limited amount of land suitable for aflbrdable housing development in South San Francisco. For these reasons the City will attempt to meet the housing needs of low- and very low-income residents by pursuing a strategy that includes the development of new units, and the acquisition and rehabilitation of affordable units. 1.0. New Housing Construction Over the next five years the City believes that at a minimum two sources will create new aflbrdable rental housing stock. These are the development of County owned property at Oak and Grand Avenues, and new units constructed under the City's BMR program. Objectives 1.1 and 1.2 describe these opportunities in more detail below. The City will also pursue other opportnnities to create affordable rental housing units as they become available. 1.1. The City is negotiating with the County of San Mateo to construct approximately 35 to 45 affordable family apartments on County owned land at Grand and Oak Avenues The planning and entitlement process will tentatively begin in 2003, construction in 2004, and if the collaboration succeeds, the units will be completed in 2005. The units will be aflbrdable to low- and moderate-income families and funded with Tax Credits and RDA funds. 1.2 Under the City's 20% Inclusionary Housing Ordinance various developers will making new affordable rental units available to residents at or below 80% of the area median income and to residents at or below 120% of the area median income No public funds will be used to develop BMR units. The City estimates that the following three projects will create 20 to 50 new units in the next five years: °90 Oak Avenue - I unit affordable to people at or below 80% MFI and 2 affordable to people at or below 120% MFI °Fairfield Residential Project - As many as 29 units affbrdable to people at or below 80% MFI and 43 affordable to people at or below 120% MFI oMarbella - As many as 28 units affordable to people at or below 80% MF! and 42 affordable to people at or below 120% MF! (project may be rental or ownership) 2.0. Acquisition and Rehabilitation The City will work with private rental property owners and non-profit organizations to identify suitable rental properties that can be acquired and/or rehabilitated to provide housing for low- and very low- income renters. The types of rental properties targeted will consist of 4 to 12 unit structures and/or residential hotels. The primary funding sources for rental properties will be HOME, CDBG, and RDA funds. Two specific objectives, 2.1 and 2.2 are described in more detail below. The City will also pursue other opportunities to acquire and rehabilitate additional rental housing units as they become available. 2.1. Willow Gardens The City has partnered with Mid-Peninsula Housing Coalition to acquire and rehabilitate approximately twelve four-plex units (48 units total) in the Willow Gardens neighborhood over a five to ten year period. Over the five year Consolidated Plan period, the City estimates it will be able to purchase five buildings (20 units total). The City plans to convert these units into permanent affbrdable rental units that will be owned and managed by Mid-Peninsula. The units will be aflbrdable to households at or below 50 - 60% 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 55 of 93 0 0 0 6 ~I of median income. This $14,000,000 project is funded through a variety of sources including HOME, CDBG, Section 108, and RDA. 2.2. Downtown Affordable Housing Program The Downtown Affordable Housing Program is designed to provide affordable rental housing for low- and very-low income residents through the acquisition and rehabilitation of dilapidated housing stock in or near the downtown. Of special interest are unoccupied Single Room Occupancy hotels and 4-6 unit apartment buildings. The City conducts feasibility analysis on a regular basis to determine viability of acquisitions. Should an opportunity to create affordable units present itself, the City will immediately allocate as much as $500,000 to the project from RDA, HOME fuuds or CDBG funds. During the five year Consolidated Plan period the City anticipates rehabilitating 10 to 20 units. Owner Housing Objectives 3.0. New Housing Construction Over the next five years the City believes that at a minimum two sources will create new affordable ownership hottsing stock. These are the development of City owned property at 440 Commercial Avenue, and new units constructed under the City's BMR program. Objectives 1.1 and 1.2 describe these opportunities in more detail below. The City will also pursue other opportunities to create new aftbrdable ownership housing as they become available. 3.1 440 Commercial Avenue In FY 02-03 the City's redevelopment Agency purchased an empty lot at 440 Commercial Avenue for the purpose of constructing affordable housing. The City is negotiating an agreement with Peninsula Habitat for Humanity to construct four three-bedroom units affordable to families earning below 50% AMI. The units would tentatively be completed in FY 2004-05 and would be sold to four large low-income families. The Agency will contribute the land and Habitat provides materials and volunteer labor to construct the units. Habitat also provides Mortgage Financing for the acquisition by low-income families who are also required to volunteer 500 hours of labor as sweat equity. If additional public funding for this project is required, it will come from RDA or HOME funds. 3.2 Under the City's 20% Inclusionary Housing Ordinance various developers will making new affordable ownership units available to residents between at or below 80% of the area median income and to residents at or below 120% of the area median income No public funds will be used to develop, BMR units. The City estimates that the following two projects will create 10 to 40 new units in the next five years: · Oak Farms - 5 units affordable to people at or below 120% AMI oMarbella - As many as 28 units affordable to people at or below 80% MF1 and 42 affordable to people at or below 120% MFI (project may be rental or ownership) 4.0. Housing Rehabilitation The need for housing rehabilitation extends through all low-income categories and exists for both owner and renter occupants. According to the 2002 South San Francisco General Plan Housing Element, there are 2,380 housing units in need of rehabilitation in South San Francisco. According to the 2000 Census, 67% (13,565) units in South San Francisco are over 30 years old. Many of the units having housing problems are concentrated in the City's low-income neighborhoods. Objectives 4. l, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, and 4.5 below describe specific programs the City has in place to address the housing rehabilitation needs of low- income homeowners. The City will pursue other rehabilitation programs as needs, resources, and opportunities arise. Such programs would be funded with either RDA or CDBG funds. 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 56 of 93 00065 4.1. City-Sponsored Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program The Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program assists Iow- and moderate-income homeowners with housing repairs. The program is administered by the City's Housing and Community Development Division and is available in the Downtown/Old Town area and citywide. Over the five year Consolidated Plan period, the City expects to rehabilitate between 15 and 25 homes of Iow- and moderate-income households. Of the households assisted, most will be very low-income elderly heads-of-household. The program is funded with CDBG. 4.2. Emergency Code Violation Vouchers The Emergency Code Violation Vouchers program provides homeowners a grant of up to $2,500 to clear up code violations in their homes. Over the five year Consolidated Plan period, the program will assist 60 low-income residents. This program is a sub-program of the City's Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program (Objective 1.1) and is therefore l'unded with CDBG. 4.3. Debris Box Vouchers The Debris Box Voucher program helps low- and moderate-iucome residents in the Downtown/Old Town area and citywide remove accumulated debris and yard waste from their properties. Over the five year Consolidated Plan period the program will assist 50 households. This program is a sub-program of the City's Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program (Objective I. 1 ) and is theretbre fi~nded with CDBG. 4.4. Minor Home Repair Otouse Helpers) The Minor Home Repair Program provides home repairs for very low-income homeowners free of charge. The program is administered by North Peninsula Neighborhood Services Center. The majority of households assisted will be large families with small children and elderly female heads-of-household. Over the five-year Consolidated Plan period, NPNSC expects to assist 200 very low-income households in the Old Town/Downtown Area and citywide. This program is a sub-program of the City's Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program (Objective 1.1) and is therefore funded with CDBG. 4.5. Rebuilding Together Peninsula Over the five-year Consolidated Plan period Rebuilding Together Peninsula will rehabilitate 3 to 15 homes for low-income South San Francisco homeowners. Rebuilding Together Peninsula will accomplish all of the rehabilitation work on one day in April and will use volunteer crews that include skilled labor. By using volunteer labor, Rebuilding Together Peninsula greatly leverages the CDBG funds the City would use to support this program. 4.5. First Time Homebuyer Program' The City's First Time Homebuyer program provides low-interest "silent second loans" in which the City defers payments for five years. The First Time Homebuyer program gives priority for loans to City employees. Loans range between $25,000 and $100,000 depending on need and income eligibility. Over the five year Consolidated Plan period, the City expects to place 20-35 first-time homebuyer loans to residents earning below 80% and residents earning 80 tot20% of the area median income. First time homebuyers will able to use the City loans to purchase homes anywhere in the City or newly constructed BMR units created under the City's BMR ordinance. The program will also offer first time homebuyer seminars and individual counseling for prospective buyers. The program will be funded by RDA and CDBG funds which will be leveraged by Mortgage Credit Certificates, State first time homebuyer program funds, and private sector funds. 2003-2008 Five Year Consolktated Plan Page 57 of 93 E. Needs Of Public Housing And Public Housing Strategy As stated before, the South San Francisco Public Housing Authority operates as a separate entity from the City of South San Francisco and submits a Consolidated Plan to HUD separately from the City of South San Francisco. All information about the South San Francisco PHA can be found in their 2000-2004 Consolidated Plan. F. Lead-Based Paint Abatement Needs The City of South San Francisco is aware of lead paint hazards in its community because of the age of the existing housing stock, particularly in the historic downtown district. The San Mateo County Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program has identified the City as a high-risk area. This designation is based on the City being in the upper 50th percentile for proportion of families living in poverty as well as the City's proportion of population under the age of six and proportion of housing stock built before 1950. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, about two-thirds of the homes built before 1940 and one-half of the homes built frown 1940 to 1960 contain heavily leaded paint. Some homes built after 1960 also contain heavily leaded paint. It may be on any interior or exterior surface, particularly on woodwork, doors, and windows. In 1978, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission lowered the legal maximum lead content in most kinds of paint to 0.06% (a trace amount).3° The City estimates that at least 5,262 housing structures in South San Francisco contain lead-based paint hazards. 1,275 South San Francisco housing structures were built before 1940. Using the estimate of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the City estimates that two-thirds, 850, of these structures have lead-based paint hazards. 8,823 South San Francisco housing structures were built between 1940 and 1960, and the City estimates that one-halt; 4412, of these structures have lead-based paint hazards. 6,963 South San Francisco housing structures were built between 1960 and 1980, and the City estimates that some portion of these structures also have lead-based paint hazards, but it is not possible to estimate a specific number. The City estimates that at least 201 South San Francisco households who were below the poverty level in 1999 live in structures with lead-based paint hazards. 42 households that were below the poverty level in 1999, live in housing structures built before 1940, thus the City estimates that 28 of these households possibly face lead-based paint hazards., 346 households below the poverty level in 1999 lived in structures built between 1940 and 1960, thus the City estimates that 173 of these households possibly face lead-based paint hazards. 451 households below the poverty level in 1999 lived in structures built between 1960 and 1980, thus the City estimates that some portion of these households face lead-based paint hazards, but is unable to estimate an exact number. Data is not available on how many extremely low income, low-income, and moderate-income households may live in housing structures with lead- based paint hazards. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) promulgated new regulations on September 15, 1999 establishing requirements for notification, evaluation, and reduction of lead-based paint hazards in federally owned residential property and housing receiving federal assistance. The purpose of these regulations is to protect children under the age of six by eliminating or minimizing lead- based paint hazards in housing. The regulation significantly increases the quantity of testing and home maintenance, repair, or rehabilitation work that must be performed in a lead-safe manner. They also 30 Consumer Product Safety Commission, "What You Should Know About Lead Based Paint in Your Home: Safety Alert" CPSC Document #5054 2003-2008 Five Year Consolktated Plan Page 58 of 93 00067 require lead hazard controls based on programs, which vary depending on the nature of the activity, amount of assistance, and duration of the relationship with the recipient of federal funding. HUD's new Lead Safe Housing Regulation took effect on September 15, 2000. The County of San Mateo and the cities of South San Francisco, San Mateo, Daly City, and Redwood City worked together to submit a Lead Based Paint Transition Plan to HUD and to implement the regulations by August 2001. South San Francisco has met this deadline and is in compliance with the regulations. To implement the regulations, the City will continue to work with other cities in San Mateo County and the County of San Mateo to make training classes available to city staff and contractors. Besides sharing information on training classes, the cities and County will to maintain a list of certified contractors and maintenance/rehab workers that can perform work for all the jurisdictions. The City will also encourage its regular contractors and their workers to become certified abatement ~vorkers/supervisors. Bid packages will include information about lead-based paint hazards and training available to contractors. Outreach efforts will also include letters, media publications and other direct outreach to the City's contractors and other potential contractors. The City of South San Francisco will also continue to attend lead information meetings held regnlarly with the County of San Mateo and other cities on the Peninsula. During these meetings the cities and County will continue to share information about training courses, certified lead abatement contractors and workers, as well as plan efforts to increase the supply of certified workers throughout the County. G. Barriers To Affordable Housing3~ Governmental Constraints To Residential Development It is in the public interest for the government to regulate development to protect the general welfare of the community. At the same time, government regulations can potentially constrain the supply of housing available in a community if the regulations limit the opportunities to develop housing, impose requirements that unnecessarily increase the cost to develop housing, or make the development process so arduous as to discourage housing developers. State law requires housing elements to contain an analysis of the governmental constraints on housing maintenance, improvement, and development (Government Code, Section 65583(a)(4)). General Plan Land Use Controls The City of South San Francisco's principal land use policy document is the General Plan. The City, which updated the General Plan in October 1999, contains eight elements including: Land Use; Planning Sub-Areas; Transportation; Parks, Public Facilities, and Services; Economic Development; Open Spaces and Conservation; Health and Safety; and Noise. Within the Land Use and the Planning Sub Areas Elements of the General Plan, there are six residential land use designations that allow for a range of densities and one commercial designation that allow for higher residential densities, transit- oriented development near transit centers, and residential units above ground floor commercial uses: Low Densi _ty Residential: Single-family residential development with densities up to 8.0 units per net acre. This classification is mainly intended for detached single-family dwellings, but attached single-family units are also permitted. 31 South San Francisco 2002 General Plan Housing Element - The State requires a similar assessment to that required by HUD. This assessment is included in this section. 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 59 of 93 O006B Medium Density Residential: Housing at densities from 8.1 to 18.0 units per net acre. Dwelling types may include attached or detached single-family housing, duplexes, triplexes, four-plexes, and townhouses. Multi-family housing is not permitted. High Densi_ty Residential: Residential development, with densities ranging from 18.1 to 30.0 units per net acre. This designation would permit the full range of housing types, including single-family attached development. Downtown Low Density Residential: Single-family (detached or attached) residential development with densities ranging from 5.1 to 15.0 units per acre. Multifamity development is not permitted. · Downtown Medium Density Residential: Residential development at densities ranging from 15.1 to 25.0 units per net acre. A fidl range of housing types is permitted. Downtown High Densi _ty Residential: Residential development at densities ranging fi'om 25.1 to 40.0 units per acre for lots equal to or greater than V,_-acre (21,780 square feet) in area. For lots smaller that ½ acre, maximum density shall be 30.0 units per acre. Downtown Commercial: This designation provides for a wide range of uses In the comlnercial core of downtown and allows residential uses on second and tipper floors only. Residential units are subject to a use permit. The General Plan Land Use Element outlines City policy pertaining to various land uses within the city. The Planning Sub-Areas Element describes specific land use policies for each neighborhood, such as transit-oriented development near the South San Francisco BART Station, the San Bruno BART Station, and the Caltrain Station. The Element also promotes infill development, intensification, and reuse of currently underutilized properties. There is enough vacant and underutilized land designated in the General Plan to meet South San Francisco's fair share of regional housing as determined by ABAG. Zoning Ordinance Zoning is one of the most important tools used to implement the policies and programs of the General Plan. Zoning establishes location and density constraints consistent with the General Plan and guides residential uses away from incompatible uses and environmental hazards and conflicts. Zoning can also create opportunities for housing, particularly affordable housing, to be developed with the use of mechanisms such as density bonuses and inclusionary housing requirements. Thus, zoning is not inherently a constraint to housing development. South San Francisco has four residential zoning districts: R-E (Rural Estates), R~ l (Single-Family Residential), R-2 (Medium Density Residential), and R-3 (Multi-Family Residential). In addition, residential uses are allowed in the South San Francisco BART Transit Village District, the Downtown Commercial District, and the City's commercial, industrial, and open space zoning districts, subject to conditional use permit approval. Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance since adoption of the General Plan in 1999 include the South San Francisco BART Transit Village District, the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, and the Density Bonus Ordinance. 2003-2008 Fh,e Year Consolidated Plan Page 60 of 93 However, the South San Francisco Zoning Ordinance will need to be amended to be consistent with the 1999 General Plan and the 2002 Housing Element. Specific Zoning Ordinance provisions that affect residential uses are discussed below. On-Site Zoning Requirements and Specifications The Zoning Ordinance establishes setback requirements for structures in each residential zoning district (see Table W). In addition, the Zoning Ordinance employs a system of "density designators," whereby the maxi~num residential density allowed in each zoning district is indicated by an additional one-letter designation on the City's zoning map. In 1999, the City Council adopted the General Plan, which establishes higher density indicators than the 1985 Zoning Ordinance. The City Council, after reviewing the need for new incentives to encourage infill development, adopted higher densities in order promote new high-density housing and mixed use development in the Downtown area and older residential neighborhoods with very small lots. Table X shows the General Plan densities for all land use classifications. Table Y shows the parking requirements for residential uses established in the Zoning Ordinance. TABLE W FRONT, REAR, AND SIDE YARD REGULATIONS City of South San Francisco Mini~num Yard Dimensions* (in feet) Zoning District Front Side Rear R-I 15 5 20 R-2 25 5 20 R-3 15 5 10-11.5 C-I 15 0-10 0 D-C 0 0 0 *All yard requirements subject to additional conditions and terms stated in Zoning Ordinance text. Source: City of South San Francisco Zoning Ordinance, Table 20.71.030. South San Francisco's zoning regulations for setbacks and parking are comparable to those in most other Peninsula cities, and parking requirements for senior housing and downtown residential uses are lower. Zoning regulations are not a constraint to housing development in South San Francisco. 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 61 of 93 nnn7 - Land Use Designation TABLE X STANDARDS FOR DENSITY AND DEVELOPMENT INTENSITY Cit~ of South San Francisco Maximum Permitted Residential Density Maximum Permitted with Incentives and Units/net acres) FAR Bonuses Maximum Permitted with Incentives and Bonuses Units/Net FAR (see Table 2.2-2 Acres Residential tip to 8.0 0.5 10.0 Low Density Medium Density 8.1-18.0 1.0 22.5 High Density 18.1-30.0 37.5 Downtown 15.0 3.0 Commercial Downtown Residential Low Density 5.1 - 15.0 0.7 15.0 Medium Density 15.1-25.0 1.25 31.3 High Density 25.1-40.0 50.0 Office 1.0 2.5 Commercial Community 0.5 1.0 Commercial Business Commercial 1.2 2.0 (hotel) Coastal Commercial - Industrial - 0.5 - 1.0 Business and Technology Park Mixed Industrial - 0.4 0.6 Including garages for residential development, but excluding parking structures for non-residential development. 20 percent density bonus is available for development within ~A-mile of a fixed guide way transit (Caltrain, BART station, or City designated ferry terminal). 25 percent bonus is available for projects with affordable housing, housing for elderly residents with specific amenities designed for residents, or housing that meets community design standards that may be specified in the Zoning Ordinance. Residential uses may be permitted on second and upper floors only and are subject to a use permit. Required parking must be structured.

I covered space per unit plus 0.25 uncovered space per unit for guest parking. Source: City of South San Francisco Zoning Ordinance, Section 20.74.040. Density Bonus In December 2001, the South San Francisco City Council adopted a Residential Density Bonus Ordinance along with the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. The City adopted the Density Bonus Ordinance to provide incentives for developers for the production of housing affordable to lower-income households. The Density Bonus Ordinance allows a density bonus of up to 25 percent for housing developments that include affordable units, assuming build out at the maximum density is allowed for that site. Greater densities may be considered by the City Council on a case-by-case basis; however, projects may be subject to further environmental review. Secondary Units The Zoning Ordinance permits secondary living units in the R-1 (Single-Family Residential), R-2 (Medium Density Residential), R-3 (Multi-Family Residential), and D-C (Downtown Commercial) zoning districts, subject to use permit approval. 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plat: Page63of93 0007'2 The Ordinance (Section 20.79.020) allows one residential second unit on any parcel or lot that has one existing single-family detached dwelling unit. Second units are required to be within or attached to the existing single-family unit and can be no larger than 640 square feet. Secondary units also are required to have one off-street parking space and comply with minimum housing code requirements. Since adoption of the Second Unit Ordinance in 1983, only two applications for a second unit have been approved. Manufactured Housing Manufactured housing can provide quality housing at a reasonable price. The recent trend in State legislation has been to encourage homeowners to place and finance manufactured homes on single-family lots. As a result, mobile homes as well as factory-built housing may now be taxed as real estate and may be set on permanent foundations, in common with conventional site-built housing. California SB 1960 (1981) prohibited local jurisdictions from excluding manufactured ho~nes from all lots zoned for single-family dwellings; in other words, limiting the location of these homes to mobile home parks is forbidden. However, SB 1960 does allow the local jurisdiction to designate certain single-family lots for manufactured homes based on compatibilits' tbr this type of use. The City of South San Francisco Zoning Ordinance allows manufactured housing in all zoning districts where residential uses are permitted or conditionally permitted. The regulations state that "a desigu review approval...shall be required for all manufactured homes on residential lots, provided that the scope of review shall be limited to roof overhang, roofing material, and siding material. Manufactured homes on residential lots shall be treated in this title the same as single-family dwellings in all other respects" (Zoning Ordinance Sections 20.14.040 through 20.34.040). The City's zoning is thus not a constraint to manufactured housing, although the demand for such units in South San Francisco seems to be very limited. Emergency Shelters and Transitional Housin~ The City has made significant efforts in not only accommodating emergency shelters and transitional housing within the city in terms of land use regulations, but also in financially supporting these uses The City's Zoning Ordinance allows transitional housing in the Downtown Cmnmercial (DC) district and emergency shelters in the Industrial District (M-l). Currently (July 2002), the City has 249 SROs in the Downtown area and supports several non-profit organizations that provide shelter for the homeless (i.e., Safe Harbor) and provide services (e.gi, St. Vincent de Paul Society, Human Investment Program (HIP), and North Peninsula Neighborhood Service Center). The City's financial contributions include $102,000 for construction of Safe Harbor with $7,000 for operating funds and $25,000 for the HIP program from Redevelopment Agency. The City also provides funding to the following: $14,000 to the Shelter Network; $10,000 to Family Crossroads which supports 8 families with children a year; and the Maple Street Shelter which provides transitional housing to 10 individuals annually. Inclusionary Housing Ordinance The Inclusionary Housing Ordinance was adopted in December 200l. Since adoption, the City has continued to process permit applications for high-density residential developments. Residential developers prefer to provide below market rate units in their projects (e.g., the Marbella project is providing 25 percent of the total units at below market rate) rather than paying in-lieu fees. If the developer is unable to finance the project due to the affordability requirement, City staff would facilitate 2003-2008 Five Year Consolklated Plan Page 64 of 93 00073 an agreement between the developer and the non-profit residential developers, such as Bridge Housing, to build the market rate and affordable components of the project. During the Inclusionary Housing review process, both Bridge [lousing and Mid Peninsula Housing, non-profit housing developers, indicated to the City Council that 100 percent affordable housing projects could be built in the San Francisco Bay Area. Other private developers, Marbella and Fairfield, support the inclusionary requirement due to the high housing demand and thus high home sales prices in South San Francisco. The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission has told the City of South San Francisco that they have contacted private developers who are willing to build housing with 20 percent affordable units. Only KB Homes and Phillip Serna from the Home Builders Association opposed any fbrm of inclusionary housing requirements on private residential developers. Persons with Disabilities · The following describes the City's current (June 2002) regulations and practices accommodating persons with disabilities: The City reviews development plans to assure consistency with State handicap and accessibility laws. · The City also required ADA accessibility in the following affordable residential projects: 1) Metropolitan Hotel (67 units) - the SRO rehabilitation project includes wheelchair access; 2) Greenridge (34 units) - the City and Mid-Peninsula Housing requires wheelchair access to each unit and handicapped parking near key common areas; and 3) Chestnut Creek Senior Housing Project (40 units) - the project includes wheelchair access off the emergency elevator, handicapped parking near entries. · The City provides CDBG fimds to non-profit organizations to make housil~g units accessible to the disabled. · The City's Uniform Building Code, which was adopted in 1998, has not been amended to accommodate persons with disabilities. · The City has not officially adopted any universal design elements to its building code; however, the City has worked with developers to enconrage such elements. · The City does not have any processes for individuals with disabilities to make requests for reasonable accommodations with respect to zoning, permit processing, or building laws. Group Homes/Residential Care Facilities The Zoning Ordinance identifies two types of group homes: special residential care facility and residential care facilities for elderly. A special residential care facility is a State authorized, certified, or licensed family care home, foster home, or group home serving six or fewer mentally disordered or otherwise handicapped persons or dependent and neglected children, when such home provides care on a twenty-four-hour a day basis. Residential care facilities for elderly are group housing arrangements, licensed by the state Department of Social Services, serving seven or more persons, chosen voluntarily by residents who are over sixty-two years of age and who are provided varying levels of support service or care, but not skilled nursing. The permit requirements for group homes are detailed below in Table Z. Special residential care facilities are allowed by right in all residential districts and conditionally permitted in commercial and industrial districts, while residential care facilities require a conditional use permit in residential, commercial, and industrial districts. 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page' 65 of 93 0007 TABLE Z PERMIT REQUIREMENTS FOR GROUP HOMES Cit~ of South San Francisco Zoning Ordinance Zoning District Group Home Type RE R- l R-2 R~3 C- 1 D-C M- 1 P- 1 Special residential P P P P CUP CUP NP CUP care facility Residential care NP NP CUP* CUP CUP CUP CUP CUP facilities for elderly P = Permitted CUP = Conditional Use Permit NP = Not Permitted *A use permit pursuant to Chapter 20.81 shall be required tbr any residential care lhcility fi)r the elderly serving seven to twelve residents.

Source: City of South San Francisco Zoning Ordinance. Building Codes Building and housing codes establish minimum standards and specifications for structural soundness, safety, and occupancy. The State Housing Law requires cities and counties to adopt minimum housing standards based on model industry codes. In addition to meeting the requirements of State Housing Law, local governments enforce other state requirements for fire safety, noise insulation, soils reports, earthquake protection, energy conservation, and access for the physically handicapped. The enforcement of building and housing codes for all homes is per the mini~num standards and requirements set forth in the codes listed in the attached table. Standards for rehabilitation are no more rigorous than those contained in the California Health and Safety Codes and the Uniform Building Codes. The 1998 edition of the Uniform Building Code is currently (2002) enforced in South San Francisco. The City Building Division ensures that new residences, additions, auxiliary buildings, and other structures meet current construction and safety standards. Building permits are required for any construction work. Building codes and their enforcement can increase the cost of housing and impact the feasibility of rehabilitating older properties that must be upgraded to current code standards. In this way, building codes and their enforcement can act as a constraint on the amount of housing and its affordability. However, the codes enforced by South San Francisco are similar to the codes enforced by most other 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 66 of 93 00075 cities in the region, and are necessary to promote the minimum standards of safety and accessibility to housing. Thus, the codes are not considered to be an undue constraint on housing investment. On- and Off-Site Improvement Requirements The City of South San Francisco requires the installation of certain on-site and off-site improvements to ensure the safety and livability of its residential neighborhoods. Many of the on-site and off-site improvements are necessary to mitigate potential impacts from the project on adjacent neighborhoods, as required by the California Enviromnental Quality Act (CEQA). On-site improvements typically include streets, curb, gutter, sidewalk, and utilities, and amenities such as landscaping, fencing, streetlights, open space, and park facilities. Off-site i~nprovements typically include the tbllowing: · Road improvements, including construction of sections of roadway, medians, bridges, sidewalks, bicycle lanes, and lighting. · Drainage improvements, including improvemeut to sections of channel, culverts, swales, and pond areas. Sewage collection and treatment · Water systems improvements, including lines and storage tanks · Public facilities for fire, school, and recreation. · Geological hazard repair and maintenance where appropriate. The City works with the residential developer to minimize on-site and off-site improvement costs by applying for outside funding sources in order to provide incentives for developers to build aflbrdable units. The fi~nding sources include MTC Transportation for Livable Communities grants, Sate Routes to Schools, Housing Incentive Program funding, redevelopment funding, and various federal grants. City Permit Processing and Fees Permit Process In 1999, the City of South San Francisco established a "One-Stop Shop" permit processing center. The Center's objective is to provide the applicant with a clear understanding of what is involved in the development and building permit application procedure, process applications as quickly as possible, and supply the Planning Commissioners and the City Council members with complete and accurate information. The City also complies with the Permit Streamlining Act and has worked with SAMCEDA (Sam Mateo County Economic Development Agency) to develop countywide processing standards. Most planning applications follow a similar process. The following outlines the steps needed for a permit applicant. Pre-Application Meeting- When the project applicant has a plan of the existing site conditions but before the applicant has developed detailed architectural and planning drawings, the applicant can meet with City staff to discuss what the applicant can expect during the review and approval process. · Application Submittal- Applications may be snbmitted at any time but the deadline for each planning cycle is always the first Friday of each month. Design Review Board-- Most applications require review by the Design Review Board (DRB). This is a panel composed of lay and professional community members who provide recommendations to the Chief Planner and the Planning Commission regarding the project's site planning, building design, and landscaping. 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 67 of 93 0007 · Application Completeness -- After the DRB meeting and a review by Planning staff, a letter may be sent to the applicant describing new information, or corrections to their plans, that they may need to submit to the Planning Division in order to complete their application. If they do not receive this letter within thirty days after their submittal, they may assume that your application is complete. · Environmental Determination -- Normally, within the thirty day period after the application is accepted as complete Planning staff will review the application to determine what category of the State's environmental regulation (i.e., Calitbrnia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)) apply to the project. In some cases additional studies will be required to meet CEQA objectives. A Planner will contact the applicant if the project requires further study. These studies will be prepared in the form of either a "Negative Declaration" or an "Environmental hnpact Report." · Public Notice -- At least ten days before the Planning Commission reviews the project, the City sends out a notice of a Public Hearing to property owners within a three hundred Ibot radius surrounding your project site. The notice, which is published in the San Mateo Times and mailed to the property owners, describes the project and announces the hearing date. · Planning Comtnission Meeting -- The Planning Commission holds public hearings at the Municipal Services Building on the first and third Thursday of each month. Items are normally scheduled for the public hearing six to eight weeks after the application has been accepted as complete. During the hearing, Planning staff will present their report and reco~nmendation to the Commission. Applicants and their representatives also have an opportunity to make a presentation in support of your project. · Notice of Action -- About a week after the Commission's action, the applicant receives by mail a written statement of the Commission's action and the conditions of approval. · Appeal-- Following the Commission's action, there is a fifteen day period during which anyone may appeal all or any portion of the action to the City Council. During this appeal period, the City may not take any further actions regarding the project, including issuing building permits. Both single family and multi-family residential projects must go through a discretionary review process. As noted above and illustrated in Figures 2 and 3, the City of South San Francisco uses the "One-Stop Shop Permit Center" model to "fast track" development applications. City Staff incorporates the Design Review Board meeting and the CEQA process into a compact review period. As noted above, City Staff provides technical support to help the applicant prepare the application, prepare for the Design Review Board meeting, and to comply with State mandated requirements under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Where appropriate, the City self-finances the General Plan and zoning amendments to create the conditions that would encourage new residential development. The following projects benefited from the City's efforts and technical support. In 2001-2002, the City processed the 280-unit Marbella Housing project (approved in 2002) on a previously undevelopable site (due to the steep slope). With City technical assistance, the developer was able to provided twenty-five percent below market rate units. Currently, City staff is assisting an applicant, Fairfield Development, to construct a 350-unit apartment complex (including twenty percent below market rate units) in the Transit Village District. The City's technical assistance is designed to fast-track the project through the review process. City staff provide technical assistance, coordinate meetings and tours, disseminate information, and prepare the appropriate data for project approval. In anticipation of high-density development in the Transit Village area, the City rezoned the area from Commercial to mixed-use high-density residential and commercial. Beyond technical assistance to the developer, the City prepared the necessary zoning and development standards on the sites in anticipation of the mixed use project at its own expense. In 2001, the City initiated its own (self financed process) process to rezone several parcels near the South San Francisco BART station from commercial to 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan 0007 mixed-use residential with local serving commercial. The nine-month process included 1) hiring a urban design consultant to prepare development standards and housing prototypes for the sites at taxpayers expense, 2) preparing the master environmental document for adoption, 3) holding three study sessions and two community meetings with local officials and neighborhoods, 4) organizing a Planning Commission/Design Review Board/property owners Stakeholder Committee to review the plans and alternatives, and 5) adopting a Transit Village Zoning District betbre the applicant was ready to submit an application. Following adoption of the Zoning Amend~nent, City staff prepared a Request for Proposals, for the property owner, to both private and non-profit developers. Prior to the sale of the site from previous property o~vner, the City met with all the potential applicants to analyze methods to provide below' market rate and construct a high-quality project on the site. City staff also consulted directly with Mid-Peninsula Housing (a non-profit housing provider) to determine specific construction costs, parking standards, and appropriate unit sizes (lbr the targeted families) to make the projects work. If the potential private developer could not afford the below market rate units, the non-profit providers were willing to build those units on each site and let the private developer build the market rate units. In both cases, the private developer chose to build the below market rate units on their own. Since the City provided the necessary conditions to proceed with the development, the applicant will be required to provide plans and complete the Environmental Checklist for Planning Commission approval. According to Figure 4, the City anticipates that the Fairfield Housing project will take approximately 95 days from application submittal to Planning Commission public hearing_. Design Review As in most cities in California, the City of South San Francisco's Design Review process is designed to assist applicants, by providing specific physical design and landscaping comments, while anticipating community concerns prior to presenting the project to the Planning Commission or City Council. The Design Review Board reviews design review applications within the existing review period; the Board does not hinder or extend the application review process. Applicants provide site plans, elevation drawings and landscaping plans for comment during a noticed public meeting. The Board then makes recommendations to the Planning Commission and Chief Planner in accordance with the Design Review Guidelines. The Planning Commission has design 'review authority for all projects requiring Planning Commission approval (such as PUD permits, use permits and variances) and all new commercial, office and multifamily developments. The Commission considers the Design Review Board's recommendations and can approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove the application. In practice, the Design Review process has been not used to deny projects or reduce the overall density of the project. The Design Review process is part of the application process and has not added additional costs, fees, or time on the applicant. Permit Processing Fees Project application fees, permit fees, and developer fees add to housing development costs. Several fees apply to housing developments. These include: 1) fees charged by the planning department for processing use permits, zoning amendments and variances, tentative subdivision maps, design and environmental review, and appeals; 2) fees levied by the Building and Public Works Departments for plan checks and inspections; 3) fees charged for City-provided utility connections such as sewer and water; and 4) fees for infrastructure improvements, schools, roads and public transit, parks and recreation, police and fire services, and aflbrdable housing funds. Whereas the first three fee categories have been enforced 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 69 of 93 0007g by local governments for many years, the fourth category, often called growth fees, have been instituted recently to offset the costs of new development. State law requires that local permit processing fees charged by local governments must not exceed the estimated actual cost of processing the permits. Table AA lists the tees that the City charges for processing various land use permits based on the 2001-2002 Master Fee Schedule. The City has not increased fees for all development applications since the early 1990s. The City charges a flat fee for development applications and does not use a cost recovery method for any project. In 1997, the City analyzed its comparative cost of doing business in the General Plan Existing Conditions and Planning Issues Report. Permit Processing Times The time required to process residential project applications depends on the size and scope of the project. Any delays in processing can ultimately result in added costs to a housing project. While the City of South San Francisco has a reputation for rapidly processing development applications, some delays can occur that are outside the control of the city. Delays in processing can occur if environmental review, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), requires an EIR to be prepared. At times, approval from State or other agencies may also be required for certain types of projects. Overall, project processing is not a constraint on the development of housing in South San Francisco.

Thus, cost factors are the primary non-governmental constraints upon development of housing in South San Francisco. This is particularly true in the case of housing for low- and moderate-income households, where basic development cost factors such as the cost of land, required site improvements, and basic construction, are critical in determining the income a household must have in order to afford housing. Land Costs Land costs in the Bay Area have been increasing siuce World War 11 as a result of inflation, increased immigration, and decreasing land supply. Clearly, rising land costs have constrained the development of affordable housing. This cost increase has an adverse effect on the ability of households, particularly low- and moderate-income households, to pay for housing. Costs associated with the acquisition of land include the market price of raw land and the cost of holding land throughout the development process. These costs can range from about 15 percent of the final sales price of new homes to nearly half in very small develop~nents or in areas where land is scarce. Among the variables affectiug the cost of land are its location, its amenities, the availability of public services, and the financing arrangements made between the buyer aud seller. As South San Francisco gets closer to full build-out of its developable land, land costs will likely increase significantly. Raw land in South San Francisco has been estimated to be worth approximately $248,000 per acre, or about $183,000 for a typical improved single-family lot. Smaller infill parcels with services available would be worth up to 25 percent more depending on their location. In addition to the cost of the raw land, new housing prices are influenced by the cost of holding land while development permits are processed. The shorter the period of time that it takes a local government to process applications tbr building, the lesser the effect inflation will have on the cost of construction and labor. Permit processing times are discussed earlier in this chapter in the context of governmental constraints on the development of aftbrdable housing. Construction Costs Table AB presents a hypothetical composite of all the associated costs that contribute to the final cost of a typical single-family home (i.e., 2,000 square-feet, 3-bedroom home on a 4,000 square-foot lot) in South San Francisco. It should be noted that the totals in Table AA represent a likely scenario and that the actual development costs will vary with the size, quality, and location of the development.

Ill. FIVE YEAR STRATEGIC HOUSING PLAN HOMELESS & SPECIAL NEEDS POPULATIONS A. Homeless Individuals and Families As elsewhere in the nation, homelessness is usually the end result of multiple factors that converge in a person's life. The combination of loss of employment, inability to find a job because of the need ~br retraining, and the high housing costs in this county lead to some individuals and families losing their housing. For others, the loss of housing is due to chronic health problems, physical disabilities, mental health disabilities, or drug and alcohol addictions along with an inability to access the services and long-term support needed to address these conditions. In South San Francisco it is difficult to estimate the number of homeless people due to the lack of comprehensive data. Therefore the City of South San Francisco relies on a variety of sources to gauge the number of homelessness people living in South San Francisco. Such intbrmation primarily comes from homeless counts conducted by the County of San Mateo Office of Homelessness. The homeless count by the County does not break out homeless by city because it is a regional issue that all cities on the Peninsula must address together given the resources available. Therefore, the City of South San Francisco recognizes in its Consolidated Plan that homelessness is best mitigated by a continuum of care approach conducted in collaboration with the County of San Mateo and other cities on the Peninsula. Together and with service and housing providers every jurisdiction works through the San Mateo County Homeless Continuum of Care Collaborative to address homelessness. Due to the City's participation in this Collaborative, the City is choosing to use the Collaborative's assessment of the Homelessness Priority Needs in Table lA. For the entire County of San Mateo a count by the County's Office on Homelessness for the calendar year 2000 indicated that there are at least 4,800 unduplicated homeless people (based on a survey of 16 agencies serving the homeless). Because this count did not capture individuals who did not receive services or who declined to give their social security numbers, the Shelter Network of San Mateo County estimates that the number of homeless was closer to 6,000 people) Currently, at least 40-60 families countywide seek shelter each night that the existing shelters cannot provide? No data currently exists to document the differences in numbers or needs between the sheltered and unsheltered homeless population. South San Francisco Homelessness Data A second source of homeless data comes from a South San Francisco Quality of Life survey of people with phone numbers conducted in 2001. None of the residents surveyed reported having to live on the streets, in a car, or in a shelter at some time in the past two years. Displacement takes a different form in South San Francisco where 5.8% of surveyed adults said they had to live with a friend or family member in a space that was not their own in the last year due to a housing emergency. Nearly one-third (31.4%) of people surveyed stated that they had been without their own living space since moving to South San Francisco. Of these respondents 86.4% had stayed with family or friends while displaced. Only one reported staying in a shelter. Three-quarters (74.9%) of all respondents to the survey rated the availability of local homeless programs and shelters as "fair" or "poor.''3 South san Francisco 2002 General Plan Housing Element Shelter Network. South San Francisco Community Partnership Community Profile Survey 2001 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 17 of 93 onoEg In 2001-2002, 18 South San Francisco families used the emergency and transitional shelter services of Shelter Network and the Center for Domestic Violence Prevention. Sixty-two (62) homeless individuals used emergency and transitional shelter services of Shelter Network and Safe Harbor.4 This data can only share with us the opinions and experiences ora sample of South San Francisco people, and the numbers of homeless families and individuals who sought shelter and were housed by local service providers and therefore cannot provide a comprehensive picture of homelessness in South San Francisco. San Mateo Humans Services Agency Needs Assessment In June 2001 the San Mateo Humans Services Agency, Office of Housing reported on the results of a special needs assessment for emergency shelter services. The study, which includes a survey of 49 clients staying at the Safe Harbor winter shelter, provides additional insights about the homeless population in San Mateo County. The findings included the following: · The population staying at the shelter was older than in a 1995 survey of the homeless. Seventy percent of the survey participants were between the ages of 36 and 5Five Years old, and 10 percent were over 5Five Years old. · The majority of the homeless population is either recently homeless or chronically homeless, indicating a need for a variety of services and interventions to break the cycle and prevent further cultural homelessness. (Forty percent of the survey participants had been homeless for less than six months, while 27 percent has been homeless for over two years. · The incidence of homelessness in San Mateo County appears to be steadily increasing over time, based on one-night homeless counts by the Office of Housing. From February 1998 to March 2002 there was a 26 percent increase. Survey of Homeless Organizationss Conversations with organizations operating emergency shelters and transitional housing, and providing services in the area, reveal the following about the homeless population and services addressing homelessness in South San Francisco: St. Vincent de Paul Society, South San Francisco: This agency provides a meal program between 10:00 A.M. and 12:00 noon each day through the "Caf6 St. Vincent" located at 344 Grand Avenue. Staff report that the number of participants in the meal program has increased dramatically during the fall of 2001. During the spring and summer of 2001,'the average number of people eating at the dining hall was 50 to 70, and increased to an average of 70 to 100 in October. A majority of the participants are from South San Francisco. Most are homeless or come from neighboring Single Room Occupancy Hotels. The dining room serves primarily single adults; families are referred to North Peninsula Neighborhood Services. Staff described their clientele as needing support services -- many suffer from mental illness and substance abuse. Besides the meal service, the St. Vincent de Paul Society provides referrals and can sometimes cover the cost of alcohol and drug rehabilitation services, and provide bus passes, shoes, short-term and emergency rent subsidies and other necessities. 2000-2002 South San Francisco CAPER, Safe Harbor (number of individuals served by Safe Harbor only represents Nov-June) South San Francisco 2002 General Plan Housing Element 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 18 of 93 00027 St. Vincent de Paul, San Mateo Count~ District Council, San Mateo: This office of St. Vincent de Paul's operates a motel voucher distribution program. In the calendar year 2001, eleven families comprised of 21 people (twelve adults and nine children) were placed in motels in South San Francisco. The motels used were the Metropolitan and Grand Hotels. Safe Harbor, South San Francisco: This 90-bed shelter is known as the "winter shelter" for the County, and is located near the San Francisco Airport at 295 North Access Road. The shelter is operated by a San Mateo-based non-profit organization, Samaritan House. The director of the shelter reports that the facility is full every night. Referrals are obtained from local "core" service agencies throughout the County who make their requests through the St. Vincent de Paul Society. Sate Harbor shelter staff esti~nate that the shelter serves 55-75 South San Francisco residents each year. The shelter serves only adults and is located in a dormitory-like facility with 45 bunk beds. It is open from 5:30 P.M. until 7:00 A.M., and staff provide a hot breakfast to guests. Bus tickets are provided, and Samaritan House operates a substance abuse treatment program as well as a variety of other support groups for homeless clients. Due to increasing and steady demand, Samaritan lqouse also now keeps the shelter open year-round rather than only during the winter months. The City of South San Francisco helps support this agency with Redevelopment Agency funding. The Salvation Army, South San Francisco: The Salvation Army is located at 409 South Spruce Avenue, and serves a hot breakfast to about 30 people every Saturday morning. North Peninsula Neighborhood Service Center. South San Francisco: This agency is the designated lead core service agency for South San Francisco and is one of the agencies providing initial screening and referral services for homeless people in the City. North Peninsula Neighborhood Services Center coordinate services in San Mateo County and provide case managelnent for homeless families and individuals. Frown 1999 through 200l this group served 165 homeless people from South San Francisco (an average of 55 per year) through its blanket, food, and information and referral services. This agency is partially supported by the City through CDBG funding. Human Investment Program (HIP Housing), South San Francisco: This San Mateo-based non-profit organization has a satellite office in South San Francisco to conduct its Home Sharing program which provides assistance to low income people seeking permanent affordable housing by matching them with roommates. From 1999 through 2001, staff interviewed 25 people from South San Francisco who were homeless and 28 people who were "at-risk" of homelessness. The City of South San Francisco helps support this agency with Redevelopment Agency funding. Shelter Network of San Mateo County_, Burlingame: Shelter Network serves South San Francisco residents primarily at the following two shelters: 1) Family Crossroads in Daly City, a former apartment house serving 12 families at a time for four month intervals; 2) Maple Street Shelter in Redwood City, a program for single adults that includes 32 emergency beds available for 60-day stays, and an additional 44 beds reserved to provide transitional housing for six-month periods. From FY 1998/99 through the FY 2000/01, 24 families from South San Francisco stayed at Family Crossroads. During that same period, the number of single adults from South San Francisco staying at Maple Street Shelter steadily increased from ten in FY 1998/99 to 18 in FY 1999/00 to 24 in FY 2000/01 making a total of 52 individuals. Shelter Network also provides supportive services to homeless people through the "First Step for Families" and "Bridges" programs. From FY 1998/99 through FY 2000/01 First Step served 13 families 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 19 of 93 00025 comprised of 50 children and adults from South San Francisco. Families live at the First Step facility in San Mateo for up to two months and receive case management, tutoring, childcare, and support for locating and affording permanent housing. Three South San Francisco families have been served by "Bridges", which provides up to two years of transitional housing to homeless families in apartments located throughout the county. During their stay families receive job training, credit counseling and money management, and other services that ~vill enable them to increase their incomes. The City of South San Francisco assists this non-profit organization through Redevelopment Agency funding. Clara-Mateo Alliance, Inc., Menlo Park: This private non-profit organization operates a comprehensive e~nergency shelter and transitional housing program in the Veteran's Hospital. Veterans are given preference for certain programs, but the facilities are open to all homeless people. Staff report that since the beginning of FY 2000/01 through the first half of FY 2001/0°_, they have served 17 individuals and two couples from South San Francisco in the following facilities: The Family Center: Includes six rooms for families with children. · Shelter for Adults: Includes 63 beds for adults, and four rooms are reserved fbr couples. · Transitional Honsing Center: Includes 28 beds for adults. Services are provided by the Clara-Mateo Alliance to assist residents to obtain employment and find permanent housing. The Homeless Veterans Emergency Facili _ty, Menlo Park: The Homeless Veterans Emergency Facility, a private nonprofit organization, operates a shelter with 112 emergency and transitional beds located in a building adjacent to the Clara-Mateo Alliance facilities mentioned above. This shelter served over 500 veterans in the year 2001 with a significant number coming from the County of San Mateo. Staff did not know how many veterans were served from the City of South San Francisco, but reported that they saw "quite a few". Veterans served by the emergency shelter are waiting for inpatient treatment through the drug and alcohol abuse, and mental health programs available at the Veteran's Hospital. Veterans eligible for the transitional beds are being assisted with employment and training. Spring Street Shelter, Redwood City: The San Mateo Mental Health Association, a nonprofit organization runs this 16-bed shelter fo~ single adults diagnosed with a mental illness. Approximately six persons served by the shelter in the last six months were from North County including the City of South San Francisco. The San Mateo Hospitali _ty Network, Burlingame: Twenty-two churches and synagogues in San Mateo County provide shelter on a rotating basis, as well as services, donations, meals, information and referral, shower facilities and computer access to approximately 30 homeless families per year. Staff report that last year the program served three families from South San Francisco. Currently, staff is working on expanding their program and is contacting congregations in South San Francisco to gain their participation in the network, which currently includes 800 volunteers. Single Room Occupancy Hotels Another source of affordable housing often sought by individuals who cannot afford an apartment or by local service agencies seeking to place very low-income clients are the single-room occupancy hotels (SROs) in South San Francisco. Currently (January 2002), there are 192 SRO units in the city. Generally, these facilities do not include bathrooms or kitchens in the units. (The latter is one reason that 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 20 of 93 00029 St. Vincent de Paul staff report they see so many residents from the SROs in their dining room - this population cannot afford to eat out as well as pay rent). Two SRO buildings in South San Francisco have received City fl~nding for rehabilitation and are restricted to occupancy by very Iow-income tenants. They are the Grand and the Metropolitan Hotels, which are comprised of a total of 82 units. North Peninsula Neighborhood Services Center, a nonprofit organization supported by the City, is able to place homeless families in these hotels. Families and Individuals At-Risk Home of Homelessness Because of housing cost burdens, over crowding, and substandard housing conditions low- and very low- income individuals and families are at-risk of becoming homeless. It is difficult to estimate the number of families and individuals facing the risk of becoming homeless, but from contact with nonprofit organizations the City is aware of people facing this situation. North Peninsula Neighborhood Services Center reported that in a recent six-month period it provided delinquent rent assistance to 3 8 of 95 families that requested assistance, move in cost assistance to 4 of 12 families requesting assistance, utility bill payment assistance to 30 families, and housing counseling to 176 families. The agency estimates that it will continue to request and provide these levels of assistance in the future giving the City a very limited estimate of the level of need for families and individuals at risk of homelessness. Homelessness Strategy and Priority Needs As stated before, both the City's strategy to address homelessness and the priority given to homeless needs is rooted in continuum of care approach conducted in collaboration with the County of San Mateo and other cities on the Peninsula. Together and with service and housing providers even' jurisdiction works through the San Mateo County Homeless Continuum of Care Collaborative to address homelessness. The City's central priority for assisting the homeless population is described as follows: Provide service- enriched shelter and transitional housing for homeless individuals and families. In addition to identifying homeless needs, quantifying the inventory of shelter space, and quantifying the unmet homeless needs, Table 1A also assigns a priority level to each type of homeless need. The basis for determining and assigning the relative priority to each homeless need is the relative supply and demand for each type of service. Other factors that influence the assignment of priority level is the urgency of the services provided as well as the resources available. For example, while the unmet need for job training is greater than it is for transitional housing, higher priority is given to transitional housing because it necessary to stabilize and individuals housing situation before addressing his or her employment needs. The Continuum of Care community performed this level of assessment in order to give assign each need a priority level. The Continuum of Care is a community plan to organize and deliver housing and services to meet the specific needs of people who are homeless as they move to stable housing and maximum self-sufficiency. It includes action steps to end homelessness and prevent a return to homelessness. HUD identifies the fundamental components of a comprehensive Continuum of Care system to be: · Outreach, intake, and assessment to (I) identify an individual's or a family's housing needs, and (2) link them to appropriate housing and/or service resources. · Emergency shelter and safe, decent alternatives to the streets. · Transitional housing with supportive services to help people develop the skills necessary for permanent housing. · Permanent housing and permanent supportive housing. 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 2 l of 93 00030 Several obstacles exist the hamper the San Mateo County Continuum of Care Collaborative's efforts to meet the underserved needs of homeless families and individuals. Key among these is the lack of available resources. Besides funding, other sources that could hamper the Collaborative's ability to meet homeless needs are lack a facilities, high cost of land and rents, community opposition to having homeless service sites situated in many areas, and the high cost of providing permanent housing. The City of South San Francisco will continue to work with the San Mateo County Continuum of Care Collaborative to overcome these obstacles and attempt to increase services to the homeless population.

Special Needs Populations One of South San Francisco's Housing Priorities is to provide service-enriched housing opportunities for individuals and families with special needs including seniors, people with physical and developmental disabilities, domestic violence survivors, people with AIDS/HIV, and people in treatment for substance abuse. To the extent practical, the City of South San Francisco has attempted to estimate the nulnber of persons in various subpopulations in order to identify their needs. However, it is challenging to get a clear assessment of how many people in South San Francisco fall into one of these categories. Below is a description of the City's best estimate of the special needs population, their needs, and priorities to address their needs. Elderly and Frail Elderly The elderly are a significant special needs group in South San Francisco. More than one quarter (28.4%) of all SSF households include individuals who are 65 and over. Thirteen percent (13%), or 7,632 of South San Francisco residents are over 65, and almost half of South San Francisco elderly people have a disability) Large portions of South San Francisco seniors are low-income. Of South San Francisco households with householders 65-74 years old, 42% (1,052 households) are low income or below having an income of less than $35,000. Of households with householders 75 years old or older, 60% (1,208 households) have an income belo~v $35,000 and are low income or below. The median income for households with a householder 65-74 years old is $39,968 - even for only one person in the household, this median income is below 60% of the area median income for the region. The median inco~ne for a honsehold with a householder over 74 is $29,184, ~vell below 50% of the area median income for a household of one.v In 1996 there were 954 SSI recipients 65 and older in SSF. SSI is a needs-based program that pays monthly benefits to persons who are 65 or older, blind, or have a disability. Seniors who have never worked or have insufficient work credits to qualify for Social Security disability often receive SSI benefits. In tact, SSI is the only source of income for a number of low-income seniors. With the maximum monthly benefit currently $712, SSI recipients are likely to have difficulty in finding housing that fits within their budgets since they could afford to pay only $214 for rent.s There is a need for unassisted affordable housing for the elderly, assisted affordable housing for the elderly, and rehabilitation and home modifications that allow elderly homeowners to stay in their homes. Table P in the Housing Needs section documents the availability and need for affordable senior housing and does not differentiate between the need for assisted and unassisted senior housing. It is very difficult to determine what the need is for assisted housing for the elderly. Among the elderly population in South San Francisco, there are 6,229 disabilities. Of these disabilities, 2,332 are either a self-care disability or a go-outside-the-home disability. It is likely that some portion of seniors who have these disabilities need supportive housing services. Census 2000 Census 2000 South San Francisco General Plan Housing Element 2002 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 23 o./'93 00032 Disabled (Severe Mental Illness, Developmentally Disabled, Physically Disabled) According to the 2000 Census, 10,044 people in South San Francisco have a disability. Almost I in 5 South San Francisco residents between 2l and 64 years old have a disability. Table C provides a break down of the kinds of disabilities that South San Francisco residents have. We do not currently have data on the numbers of people in South San Francisco who have severe mental illness and may need supportive housing. There are 1,691 people over the age of 16 in South San Francisco with developmental (mental) disabilities that may have a need for supportive housing. There are 3,678 people in South San Francisco over the age of 16 with physical disabilities who may need supportive housing. There are 4,669 people over the age of 16 with go-outside-the-home disabilities, which may indicate a need for assisted housing for those individuals that do not live with others who can help take care of their needs that require leaving the home.

In addition to the data available in the 2000 Census, the City of South San Francisco Housing Element reports the following information from service providers on the needs of people with disabilities and the services that their agencies provide: 2003-2008 Five Year ConsolMated Plan Page 24 of 93 00033 The State Independent Living Council's (SILC) 1998 report, Independent Living, provides a perspective on the housing needs of persons with disabilities. SILC polled the independent living centers across the state to determine the major factors that hinder people with disabilities from living independently. The SILC identified housing as a critical issue, as follows: Housing is a huge problem for most people with disabilities. Not only is there a scarcity of low-income housing located in each community, there is even less barrier-free low-income housing. For individuals who are receiving a total gross income of $640 on Supplemental Security Income (SSI), paying market rate for any type of apartment or house is a virtual impossibility. South San Francisco does not have any affordable housing development built specifically for persons with disabilities, though some units at some of the affordable projects have handicap- accessible units. The Peninsula Association for Retarded Children and Adults (PARCA) provides housing for 11 clients and supplements the rent at four apartments at Peninsula Pines and a house in Westborough. The City provides some funding for PARCA through its CDBG program. The City provides CDBG funding to the Center for Independence of Disabled to make accessibility modifications to enable persons with disabilities to stay in their homes or move to new housing. Additionally, the minor repair programs sponsored by the City provide assistance to persons with disabilities to undertake home repairs that increase access. The housing coordinator for the Golden Gate Center is organizing a coalition of agencies such as PARCA and Life Steps, nonprofit developers, and parents to address the housing needs of developmentally disabled persons in San Mateo County. The coalition plans to request each city as well as the county to include units for developmentally disabled in their affordable housing develop~nents and to request the San Mateo Housing Authority to increase the number of Section 8 vouchers for this group. Persons with Alcohol/Other Drug Addictions Data on the number of people in South San Francisco with an alcohol, drug or other substance abuse problem is not available. Sitike Counseling Center, one of the primary substance abuse counseling centers in South San Francisco serves approximately 200 clients each year. This figure is probably only a small potion of people in the City with substance abuse problems because it represents people who have sought and received services. People with HIV/AIDS It is unclear how many South San Francisco residents are currently living with HIV/AIDS. ELLIPSE, one of the City's primary AIDS services providers, serves approximately 30 residents with AIDS annually. In San Mateo County, there have been 1,889 AIDS cases since 1981, and there are currently 712 known people living with AIDS in the County. San Mateo County Health Department HIV services see 554 clients per year. Latinos are among the fastest-growing populations with HIV, as seen in the hospital and clinics in San Mateo County.9 Many of the people living with AIDS in the County need financial and housing assistance. In one year: 126 clients received Emergency Financial Assistance, the Food Program served 238 clients, Community 9 The Independent Saturday, January I 1,2003 "AIDS Rates for Hispanics on the Ride" by Sara Zaske 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 25 03''93 0n0°4 Dental Care served 85 people, and Residential Services served 184 clients. San Mateo County services for people with HIV also includes substance abuse treatment on demand. San Mateo County has only in home hospice services and no residential care facilities. The Mental Health Association is their housing provider and the residential services are varied--shallow rent subsidies are one example. The county currently places HIV clients in non-HIV specific housing. Housing is a major problem in San Mateo County, which has lost more clients to its housing crisis than to HIV/AIDS itself because people living with AIDS could not find Section 8 Housing. ELLIPSE, one of the service providers for people living with HIV/AIDS in South San Francisco has also expressed the need for rental assistance specifically for people living with HIV/AIDS. The City does not plan to use HOME or other tenant based rental assistance to assist any of these subpopulations. Domestic Violence Survivors Domestic violence is an ongoing problem in South San Francisco as in all communities. The Center for Domestic Violence Prevention estimates that there are thousands of cases of domestic violence each year in San Mateo County, and South San Francisco residents make up part of this number. Domestic violence survivors often need a supportive housing option in order to get out of the living situation in which they are experiencing abuse. Their shelter for domestic violence survivors serves approximately 8 South San Francisco families each year with shelter and supportive services. Priorities And Goals For Special Needs Populations Based on the estimates of special needs populations and the needs described by service providers, the City has set a priority to: Provide service-enriched housing opportunities for individuals and families with special needs including, but not limited to, seniors, people with physical and developmental disabilities, domestic violence survivors, people with ltlV/AIDS, and people in treatment for substance abuse. This central priority is divided into various specific priority levels to serve the special needs populations with supportive housing as follows: The City believes that high priority should be given to elderly and frail elderly, physically disabled, and domestic violence survivors. The City is also giving medium priority to people with alcohol/other drug addiction; people with HIV/AIDS, and to people with sever mental illness. Low priority goes to populations that are mentally disabled. These priorities are described in Table 1B. Specific objectives on assistance for the special needs populations are described in Table lC. The basis for assigning these priorities is the level of service demands placed on agencies providing services to populations, and their descriptions of unmet needs. The City also used Census data to the extent available to estimate the population needing special services and the unmet need. The primary obstacle meeting the needs of populations with special needs is the lack of available funds. Other obstacles includes the high cost of housing, the lack of availability facilities and centers to serve the special needs populations, and the limited number of nonprofit agencies providing services for special needs populations. The City, however, will work with existing nonprofit agencies and with the available resources to best meet the needs of special needs populations. 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 26 of 93 00035 TABLE lB Special Needs Population Priority Need Level Dollars to SPECIAL NEEDS High, Medium, Low, Unmet Address Goals SUBPOPULATIONS No Such Need Need Unmet Need Housing and Services Elderly H 1,555~° $250,000 · Housing rehabilitation and accessibility modifications (see Physically Disabled below) Frail Elderly lq 1,727t~ $750,000 · Adult Day Care for 250 fi'ail elderly · Accessibility modifications (see Physically Disabled below) Severe Mental Illness L Not $100,000 .No goals identified available Developmentally M 1,691 ~2 $100,000 · Support services for 25 families with a Disabled developmentally disabled family member (PARCA) Physically Disabled H 3,678~ $150,000 · Home accessibility modifications for 150 households (CID) Persons w/ M Not $1,500,000 · Outpatient services for Alcohol/Other Drug available 150 residents (Sitike) Addictions Persons w/HIV/AIDS M Not $300,000 · Supportive home services available for 75 Households (ELLIPSE) Domestic Violence H Not $100,000 · Provide transitional Survivors available housing/shelter for 40 women and their children (CDVP) TOTAL , $3,250,000 Number of elderly with a disability (other than a go-outside the home disability) Number of elderly with a go-outside the home disability Population over 16 with a mental disability Population over 16 with a physical disability 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 27 of 93 00036 C. Summary of Specific Homeless/Special Needs Objectives The City of South San Francisco has set four specific objectives to address homeless needs and four objectives to meet the needs of special needs populations. Following is a description of these objectives as well as a description of how the City will use Federal, State, local, and private resources to address the needs identified for the period covered by the Consolidated Plan. Table 1C further summarizes this information. A. Priority: Provide service-enriched shelter and transitional housing for homeless individuals and families. 1.0. Provide emergency and transitional shelter for families It is the City's goals to provide funding to organizations that provide shelter, transitional housing, and services to homeless families. 1.1. Shelter Network- Crossroads Crossroads provides transitional housing and comprehensive support services to homeless. On-site services include support groups, job development and other individualized services to help families secure permanent housing. The shelter will serve up to 50 very low- and low-income families from South San Francisco over the five-year Consolidated Plan period. The program is available to people citywide. The City will fund this program with RDA funds that will be leveraged by the County of San Mateo, other cities on the Peninsula, private foundations, and private donors. 2.0. Provide emergency and transitional shelter for individuals It is the City's goals to provide funding to organizations that provide shelter, transitional housing, and supportive services to homeless individuals. 2.1. Shelter Network- 1Maple Street Maple Street Shelter provides transitional housing and comprehensive support services to homeless individuals. On-site services include support groups, job development and other services to help individuals secure permanent housing. The shelter will serve 40 very low- and low-income individuals from South San Francisco over the five-year Consolidated Plan period. The City will fund this program with RDA funds that will be leveraged by the County of San Mateo, other cities on the Peninsula, private foundations, and private donors. 2.2. Safe Harbor - Samaritan House Safe Harbor is a homeless emergency shelter in South San Francisco operated by Samaritan House. Safe Harbor provides shelter and food for up to 90 individuals countywide a night. In addition Samaritan provides several other services on site including drug education and counseling, employment and job development counseling, and health services.

FIVE YEAR STRATEGIC HOUSING PLAN AFFORDABLE HOUSING NEEDS A. Market Analysis: Population, Housing Supply and Conditions Introduction The City of South San Francisco has based its Consolidated Plan market analysis of the City's Housing Element approved by the State of Califbrnia in 2003. Information from the Housing Element is supple~nented with Census data released after the drafting of the Housing Element. HUD requires the market analysis to describe the significant characteristics of the housing market in terms of supply, demand condition, and cost. It also requires a review of housing stock available to serve people with disabilities and HIV/AIDS, how the City targets its housing production by income level and type of households, and whether any affordable units are at-risk of being lost from the af/¥rdable housing stock. The market analysis is organized as follows: Section 1: Population, employment, and housing trends Section 2: Housing and household characteristics These chapters draw on a broad range of informational sources, lnt'ormatiou on population, housing stock, and economics comes primarily from the 2000 U.S. Census, the California Department of Finance, the Association of Bay Area Governments, and City of South San Francisco records. Information on available sites and services for housing comes from numerous public agencies. Population, Employment, and Housing Trends This section includes information on South San Francisco's population and employment. The informatiou is oriented to identify trends, potential shortcomings, and issues. Historic Growth And Population Trends South San Francisco is located on the west shore of the San Francisco Bay, in northern San Mateo County. The City is built upon the Bay plain and the northern foothills of the Coastal Range, and is strategically located along major transportation corridors and hubs, including U.S. 101, Interstate 380 and Interstate 280, the Union Pacific Railroad, (formerly Southern Pacific Railroad) and the San Francisco International Airport. In 1890, the South San Francisco Land and Improvement Company purchased 3,400 acres on the former site of the Rancho Burl Burl for development of a town. The arrangement of residential and industrial uses intentionally took advantage of stable ground and Bay access at Point San Bruno. Constrained by marshlands to the south, residential development began to extend north around and along the slopes of Sign Hill as the city grew, requiring the introduction ora curvilinear street form. The growth of South San Francisco's steel and, later, shipbuilding industries through the 1920s and World War II helped spur residential growth. Between 1940 and 1960, South San Francisco's population increased more than six-fold from 6,290 to 39,418.2 Over 46 percent of South San Francisco's existing housing units were constructed between 1940 and 1959. Page 31 ~'93 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan 0 0 0 4 0 By the end of the 1950s, South San Francisco had essentially reached its present level of urbanization between U.S. 101 and Junipero Serra Boulevard. Many of the residential subdivisions west of Sign Hill and El Camino Real were complete. Except at the city's northwestern comer, Junipero Serra Boulevard formed the city's western edge, and Hillside Boulevard/Randolph Avenue was the northern boundary. With some important exceptions, land use in South San Francisco since the 1960s has stemmed from internal change rather than outright expansion. Infill development has occurred along El Camino Real, Chestnut Avenue, and U.S. 101. Major expansion has occurred in the Westborough area and the East of 101 area, enabled respectively by the construction of Interstate 280 and landfill at Oyster and Sierra Points. The city has recently entered its last phase or' expansion with ~nulti-use development at Terrabay on the south slopes of San Bruno Mountain. The rate of population growth slowed in the 1960s and 1970s, increasing by only six percent in the 1970s. Population growth increased by 10 percent in the 1980s and by roughly the same percentage in the 1990s. By 2000, South San Francisco had a population over 60,552, according to the 2000 U.S. Census. Table D shows the City's population growth from 1920 through 2000. With 8.5 percent of the county's population, South San Francisco is San Mateo County's fourth-largest city. Future opportunities for growth other than redevelopment are limited to remaining unincorporated islands.

Census, Various Ye~s Population Projections According to population projections produced by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) in Projections 2002, South San Francisco's population is expected to grow relatively slowly through 2020, with an average annual growth rate of 0.51 percent between 2000 and 2020. As Table E indicates, the city's population is projected to ~ow to 67,000 by 2020, representing an increase of 6,448 residents from 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 32of93 0(}641 ABAG's estimated 2000 South San Francisco population of 60,552.

Age of the Population Table F shows South San Francisco's age trends from 1970 through 2000. The age of South San Francisco's residents increased in two age categories during the last decade. Two of the most significant trends over the last 30 years have been the decrease in the city's younger population (i.e., 0-14) and the increase in the city's senior population (i.e., 65 and older). In 1970, those under 14 years old were approximately 30 percent of the population. By 1980, that group's population fell to roughly 20 percent. Over the next 20 years, that percentage has remained relatively constant. In 1970, the senior population was 5.0 percent. This percentage has been steadily increasing over the last 30 years (8.3 percent in 1980, 11.4 percent in 1990, and 12.6 percent in 2000). Between 1990 and 2000, the median age of South San Francisco's residents remained relatively constant, increasing from 35.1 in 1990 to 35.7 in 2000.

South San Francisco's ethnic/racial make-up is made primarily of Hispanics/Latinos (31.8 percent), Whites (30.5 percent), and Asians (28.6 percent). The city's largest ethnic/racial population consists of Hispanics and Latinos with nearly 32 percent of the city's population. South San Francisco also has a larger Hispanic/Latino population than surrounding communities such as Daly City, San Bruno, and San Mateo County. South San Francisco and Daly City are home to the largest population of Filipinos in the Bay Area. African Americans, Native Americans, Pacific Islanders, and those of two or more races make up only 4.7 percent of South San Francisco's entire pol~ulation.

In 1999, only 23 percent of employed residents worked in the city despite a surplus of jobs. As a general trend, the city has added jobs at a faster rate than it has added population over the last 1 Five Years. In 1995, there were 13,610 more jobs than employed residents in the city. Given that much of the land in the city--including all of the East of 10 l area -- is not suited for residential development, it is unlikely that a balance between jobs and housing can be attained. Housing And Household Characteristics Section 2 assesses current and projected housing and household characteristics, the condition of the housing stock, and the potential impact on future housing needs. This analysis identifies key trends that will affect both near-term and long-term housing needs. 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 34 of 93 O00 l 3 Housing Unit Mix And Household Size Housing Stock Composition South San Francisco's city limits encompass 4,300 acres. According to the 1999 General Plan, single- family residential is the predominant use, occupying 33 percent of the land. Only ten percent of the land in the city is vacant, and development has been approved or is under review on over half of this land. Development that the City has approved or is under review includes 1,002 housing nnits on 110 acres (October 1998). The 160 acres of remaining vacant land is primarily concentrated in the east of US 101 area, which prohibits residential development. South San Francisco's housing stock reflects the city's history as an industrial town and its later role as a convenient suburb of San Francisco. The city's residential development is fairly unusual, with s~nall single-family homes clustered in flat areas and multifmnily housing and townhomes on hillsides surrounding the town. This development not only reflects the history of the city but also the land use constraints that have influenced land use decisions. Noise and safety impacts resulting from aircraft operations at the San Francisco International Airport (SFIA) include height restrictions within the airport approach zone. Likewise, no residential development is permitted in the area east of 101 according to a Memorandum of Understanding between SFIA and the City. According to the 2000 U.S. Census, the City of South San Francisco has a total of 20,138 honsing units. After a sharp decline in the 1970s, average household size in the 1980s and again in the 1990s increasing from 2.9t to 3.05. The housing stock has remained primarily single family residential with roughly 70 percent of homes being single family and 30 percent being multi family in 1990 and 2000. A detailed breakdown of occupancy status and household size by type of dwelling unit is provided in Tables H, I, and J.

Condition of the Housing Stock Recent information relating to condition of housing stock is from the 2000 Census. In addition, the City conducted a windshield survey of housing conditions in May 1990 that gives an adequate general description of the condition of the housing stock that is still valid today. The following rating system was used in the survey: · Good: structures needing no repairs or only cosmetic repairs, e.g., paint; · Fair: structures requiring some minor structural repairs--visible cracks, minor roof problems, etc.; and · Poor: structures needing major repairs--dilapidated/substandard housing. 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 37 of 93 00046 Overall, South San Francisco's residential structures are in good condition. Of the 1,862 structures surveyed, 87.3 percent were found to be in good condition, 10.7 percent in fair condition, and 2 percent in poor condition. Applying these percentages to the city as a whole, suggest that approximately 2,000 units need minor structural repairs, and 380 units need either major repairs or replacement. (The Iow rate of demolitions, averaging five per year, indicates that relatively few units need to be replaced.) Table L shows a percentage breakdown of structural conditions by neighborhood.

In five other neighborhoods, over 10 percent of the structures were in fair to poor condition: Grand Avenue, Paradise Valley, Mayfair Village/Francisco Terrace, Town of Baden, and Peck's Lots. Page 38 of 93 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan 0 0 0 4 7 Household Composition And Income Household Composition The 2000 Census defines the term "household" as the person or persons occupying a housing unit. This general category includes families, defined as two or more persons, including the householder, who are related by birth, marriage, or adoption and who live together as one household. The family definition includes both married couples and single-parent families. Despite increases in single-parent families and unrelated households, married couples remain the majority of households in South San Francisco. Table M shows the number and percentage of different types of households. Households that do not meet the definition of "family" are classified as "non-family households." TABLE M NUMBER OF HOUSEHOLDS BY HOUSEHOLD TYPE City of South San Francisco 2000 Type of Household Number Percent of Households Total Households 19,677 100.0 Family Households 14,650 74.5 Married Couple 10,977 55.8 Female Headed household 2,596 13.2 Non-Family Households 5,027 25.5 Seniors 1,771 9.0 Householder living alone 3,923 19.9 Source: U.S. Census, 2000. Household Income The General Plan Existing Conditions and Planning Issues Report noted that the South San Francisco median household income in 1990 was lower than San Mateo County's but slightly higher than the median income in the Bay Area as a whole. Since that time, real incomes have raised somewhat based on 1999 estimates. A particularly pertinent issue for economic development efforts is the education and employment profile of South San Francisco residents. In general, residents have lower levels of educational attainment and hold lower level jobs than residents in the Bay Area as a whole. This discrepancy is particularly notable with regard to executive and administrative jobs: South San Francisco has a much lower concentration of residents with managerial positions and a higher proportion of residents in administrative positions than the region as a whole. 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 39 ~¢'93 00. 0 ~ q' The most prevalent industries in which SSF residents are employed are transportation, retail trade, finance, insurance, real estate, and manufacturing. The city has a Iow proportion of residents in nondurable goods manufacturing and professional services than the rest of the Bay Area. Mean household income in South San Francisco (in constant 1995 dollars) was $55,800 in 1990, and increased to $68,000 in 2000. ABAG projects that the City's mean household income will continue its upward trend, increasing to $73,200 in 2005, $76,100 in 2010, $77,500 in 2015, and $79,300 in 2020. This represents a 15 percent increase between 2000 and 2020. By comparison, mean household income for San Mateo County as a whole is estimated at $88,700 in 2000, and is projected to increase by 19 percent to $109,100 by 2005. Thus, the average income for the county is not only higher than that of South San Francisco, but will increase at a greater rate than the city (ABAG Projections 2000, December 1999, page 188).

Affordable Housing Projects In 1999 the first residents moved into Mid-Peninsula Housing Coalition's Greenridge project, the first new affordable housing project in the city in ten years. The project provides 34 units for very low and low-income families, with over half of the units serving large families (three or more bedrooms). The project was financed with redevelopment funds ($940,000) as well as tax credits. Another new development, Chestnut Senior Housing (40 units), is expected to be available for occupancy in 2003. This project received HUD Section 202 funding and redevelopment funds ($2.7 million). In 1998 the City initiated the Willow Gardens Revitalization Project with Mid-Peninsula Housing Coalition. The project involves the acquisition and rehabilitation of 12 four-plex structures, or 48 units in the El Camino Corridor Redevelopment Project Area. The units will be converted to permanently affordable housing for households at 50 to 60 percent of median income. The project leverages redevelopment housing funds with public/private bonds and tax credits in a $14 million financial package. Thus far (January 2002), the City and Mid-Peninsula have acquired seven buildings (28 units), which are being rehabilitated. The City will continue to acquire buildings as they become available. 2003-2008 Five Year Consolidated Plan Page 40 of 93 00049 The South San Francisco Housing Authority manages 80 units of public housing in the city, which serve very low-income residents. The units, built in 1977 and 1980, include 22 one-bedroom units, 26 two-bedroom units, 26 three-bedroom units, and 6 four-bedroom units. Federal funds ($700,000) were allocated to rehabilitate these units and bring them up to code. This work was completed in 1998. There are 74 families on the PI-IA waiting list, which has been closed for two years. It would take a new applicant from three to five years to reach the top of the list and have the opportunity to rent a unit. In addition to the housing units included in Tables P and Q, there are 249 SRO units in the city that are an important part of the affordable housing market (see Table R). SROs generally do not have either kitchens or bathrooms within individual units. They serve as residences primarily tbr low- and very low-income single people. This type of housing unit is ~bund priinarily in the downtown area. The City has helped to upgrade and preserve this housing by providing funds for rehabilitation and seismic upgrade of the Grand and Metropolitan Hotels. Work on both was completed in 1999. Occupancy is restricted to very low-income persons.
