Definition of Substandard Buildings which exhibit structural , plumbing and/or electrical defi- ciencies and/or those units which violate one or more significant aspects of the City of Redding' s Housing Rehabilitation Standards. Units are also considered substandard if they do not provide safe and adequate shelter or are in a deteriorating condition caused by use or inadequate maintenance and do not meet the Department of Housing and Urban Development Section 8 Housing Quality Standards. 2. Definition of Suitable for Rehabilitation Those buildings which exhibit one or more of the deficiencies listed under the above definition of substandard, all of which can be repaired in conformity with current codes and ordinances for a sum not to exceed the value of the building. 3.

There is no known major industry starting or relocating to the Redding area within the next three years. Because of the current economic situation, it is not expected that there will be a substantial migration of low- and moderate-income families to this community. Based on the above information, there are no additional low- and moderate-income families expected to reside in Redding. The ETR figure for the elderly was gathered from actual figures of out of town applicants on the Housing Authority rental assistance waiting list. IMPACT OF CONVERSION OF RENTAL HOUSING TO CONDOMINIUM OR COOPERATIVE OWNERSHIP The City of Redding enacted a Condominium Conversion Ordinance in 1980 to provide tenants with specific protection against losing their homes without due process. This ordinance provides for financial moving assistance, protection in rental increases, opportunities of first choice to purchase and other protections. Additionally, there is a provision in the ordinance which enables the Planning Commission to consider the detrimental effect a conversion project may have on displacement of low- and moderate-income tenants. A copy of the ordinance is attached as Exhibit "A," Since the ordinance was adopted in 1980 there have been three conversions affecting 100 units. These projects all affected a luxury type of apartment. It is not expected that there will be a significant amount of activity in this area in the near future. LOW-INCOME MINORITY HOUSEHOLD NEEDS The following table delineates the total number of low- and moderate-income minority households within the City of Redding. • • • • Annual Annual Annual Annual Income Income Income Income $0-4,999 $5,000-7,499 $7,500-9,999 $10.,000-12,900 Total Percent White 638 784 —. 948 1,097. 3,467 92_.1 Black 35 28 8 19 90 2.4 Indian 36 31 47 24 138 3.6 Asian 0 0 0 3 3 .1 Spanish 6 47 12 4 69 1.8 Total 715 890 1,015 1,147 3,767 100.0% • According to the 1980 Census, 31.4% of the total minority population were owners and 68.6% were renters. The percentage of low- and moderate-income minority households applied to the total number of households living in sub- standard housing is as follows: 31.4% 68.6% Owner Renter Black 2.4% of 2,415 58 18 40 Indian 3.6% of 2,415 87 27 60 Asian .1% of 2,415 2 1 1 Spanish 1.8% of 2,415 44 14 30 Total 191 60 131 Applying the family composition percentage breakdown to minority households living in substandard housing: Owners Renters Black Elderly (21% of 18) 4 Elderly (21% of 40) 8 Small Family (74% of 18) 13 Small Family (74% of 40) 30 Large Family (5% of 18) -1 Large Family (5% of 40) 2 Indian Elderly (21% of 27) 6 Elderly (21% of 60) 13 Small Family (74% of 27) 20 Small Family (74% of 60) 44 Large Family (5% of 27) 1 Large Family (5% of 60) 3 Asian Elderly (21% of 1) 0 Elderly (21% of 1) 0 Small Family (74% of 1) 1 Small Family (74% of 1) 1 Large Family (5% of 1) 0 Large Family (5% of 1) 0 Spanish Elderly (21% of 14) 3 Elderly (21% of 30) 6 Small Family (74% of 14) 10 Small Family (14% of 30) 22 Large Family (5% of 14) 1 Large Family (5% of 30) 2 Total 60 131 • 111 RENTAL ASSISTANCE NEEDS OF MINORITY HOUSEHOLDS There are 2,749 lower-income households paying more than 30% of their income for housing. The following table reflects application of this information to the lower-income minority population: Black (2.4% of 2,749 = 66) Elderly (21% of 66) 14 Small Family (74% of 66) 49 Large Family (5% of 66) 3 Indian (3.6% of 2,749 = 99) Elderly (21% of 99) 21 Small Family (74% of 99) 73 Large Family (5% of 99) 5 • Asian ( .1% of 2,749 = 1) Elderly (21% of 1) 0 Small Family (74% of 1) 1 Large Family (5% of 1) 0 Spanish (1.8% of 1,749 - 50) Elderly (21% of 50) 11 Small Family (74% of 50) 37 Large Family (5% of 50) 2 There is no expected displacement of low- and moderate-income minority house- holds. SPECIAL HOUSING NEEDS OF HANDICAPPED HOUSEHOLDS The Far Northern Regional Center assisting the developmentally disabled defined a need for a "group home-apartment cluster" type of living arrangement for developmentally disabled persons in the community. Construction began recently on the first residential training facility for the developmentally disabled in Redding. Two buildings designed to house 6 adults each are under construction. In addition, another 36 handicapped persons in the City of Redding would be able to use Section 8 subsidies according to the Office of Continuing Care in the Shasta County Department of Mental Health and the Far Northern Regional Center. SPECIAL HOUSING NEEDS OF SINGLE INDIVIDUALS WITH DEPENDANT CHILDREN The majority of single individuals with dependant children are female-headed households. According to the 1976 Special Census, 42% of all low- and moderate-income households were female headed. The percentage of low- and moderate-income female-headed households applied to the total number of house- holds living substandard housing, suitable for rehab, is identified below: i • Substandard Suitable for Rehabilitation Owner Renter 42% of 2,415 = 1 ,014 426 588 Elderly 21% of 1,014 = 213 89 12.4 Small Family, 74% of 1,014 = 750 315 435 Large Family, 5% of 1,014 = 51 21 30 Rental Assistance Needs of Female-Headed Households There are 2,749 lower income households paying more than 30% of their income for housing. The following table reflects application of this information to the lower income female-headed household population. 42% of 2,749 = 1 ,155 Elderly 21% of 1 ,155 = 242 Small Family 74% of 1,155 = 855 Large Family 5% of 1,155 = 58 SPECIAL HOUSING NEEDS OF PARTICULAR GROUPS Redding is at the northern tip of the Sacramento Valley, which is above the major agriculture areas of California. Therefore, there is no need for migrant housing. There are no retirement centers, military housing, or other special types of housing in the City of Redding. a S NARRATIVE SECTION ON THREE YEAR GOALS The three year goals in this Housing Assistance Plan were developed after careful study of the current programs available, the City' s past housing accomplishments and anticipation of availability of future programs. The City of Redding actively supports the goal of improved affordable housing for its low- and moderate-income residents. Seven years ago, a Housing Authority was created which has resulted in 364 subsidized rental units within the City. One third of all funds received through the CDBG program have been used for housing rehabilitation. The City will continue to actively pursue and process applica- tions on all available housing programs as they become available. The City of Redding is an Entitlement City and will continue to receive CDBG funds. Funds from this source and the rehab loan revolving account will provide adequate funding to accomplish all goals designated to be financed through CDBG. Through past experience, the Section 8 Existing and Moderate Rehab program have proven to be very successful . Though HUD allocations have been decreasing, it is expected that some funds will be available. It is planned to continue to seek assistance through this program as long as funds are obtainable. It is believed that the City can reasonably achieve all of the goals listed in the Three Year Goals with the existing local conditions if the financial resources through HUD are provided. Other actions the City will be taking include studying the feasibility of development of a second unit ordinance and a density bonus for development of affordable housing. The Redding Redevelopment Agency has adopted a Redevelopment Plan for the Canby-Hilltop-Cypress Area. This project would provide financing for low- and moderate-income housing through the tax-increment process. The City is currently in litigation with Shasta County regarding this project. It is expected that this will be resolved satisfactorily either through negotiation or the judicial system and that funds will be available in the second and third years for the development of new housing units. Units assisted under the programs listed in the Three Year Goals will be occupied by persons who qualify as lower income. All programs have income eligibility criteria. The maximum income allowed under any program is 80% of the median income in keeping with HUD guidelines. Housing needs of special groups are similar to those of the general lower income population. The only group requiring special types of assistance is the handicapped. This group received assistance for a substantial percentage of the need during the past three year program and do not have a special provision here. GENERAL LOCATIONS All Census Tracts within the City of Redding (101 , 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 116, 117, and 123) are eligible for assisted housing units subject to the following SITE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS: SITE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS The type and density of housing should reflect the geographic and social conditions generally as follows: A. General 1. Single-family subdivisions should not have lots with direct access to major arterials. 2. Residential uses should be separated from major arterials by screen- ing and sound barriers. 3. The density of a development should be reflective of the topography. For example, the greater the slope, the lower the density. 4. Higher densities should be located closer to transportation corridors. 5. Residential units should not be constructed in areas where there is a high probability of hazard to life or property. 6. Dwelling units other than senior citizens housing should be dis- couraged in the "C-4" District. 7. Residential uses other than caretaker units should be discouraged in "C-3" areas. 8. Where higher density housing adjoins lower density housing efforts should be made to preserve the privacy of the lower density housing through screening, berms , fencing, windowless walls, and lowered building height. 9. Large Residential subdivision should have two points of access in case of emergency. 10. Attempts should be made to create viable residential neighborhoods with parks, schools or open-space as focal points. 11. Residential areas should incorporate walks for pedestrian safety along streets. 12. Residential areas should have adequate street setbacks and land- scaping to provide an attractive community. •. 411 • B. Mobilehomes Mobilehomes should continue to be permitted in the City in areas where "ST" or "RT" zoning is adopted and where there is a pattern of mobilehomes prior to annexation. C. Assisted Housing Development of assisted or below market rate housing in the City should follow the guidelines listed below: 1. Single-Family Housing a. Subsidized single-family housing shall be located in areas designated for single-family use by the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, and construction shall be at densities comparable to or less than those existing in the area. b. Subsidized single-family housing units developed in existing subdivisions shall be dispersed throughout the subdivision and no more than two units shall be adjacent to each other at any one location. c. Subsidized single-family housing units shall not be closer than 1,000 feet to other assisted housing units within a different subdivision. d. The number of assisted single-family housing units in any 1,000-foot radius shall not exceed 25 percent of the number of non-assisted units. e. Sites for assisted single-family housing units shall be selected so the public facilities are available and community services are within a reasonable distance, or that a transportation system is available from the unit to the services. 2. Multiple-Family Housing Projects a. Newly constructed subsidized multiple-family housing projects shall not exceed a maximum of 60 units in any one development. b. Subsidized multiple-family housing projects shall not be closer than 1 ,000 feet to another assisted housing project. c. subsidized multiple-family housing projects shall be located where public facilities are available and community services are within a reasonable distance, or that a transportation system is available from the project to the services. 3. Rehabilitation Rehabilitation of existing housing units shall occur only in areas designated for residential uses by the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, excluding residential hotels and senior citizen facilities in "C-2" or "C-4" areas. 4. General All assisted housing projects, regardless of size, shall be reviewed by the City for conformance to local codes and ordinances, the General Plan and the above guidelines. The Planning Commission may consider waiver of guidelines if, in their opinion, a project is worthy of consideration and would not be materially detrimental to the concepts outlined or to the neighborhood. a • NARRATIVE SECTION ON ANNUAL GOAL The following specific actions will be taken to assure that lower income house- holds in the City of Redding will receive the assistance designated in the annual goals: 1. Designate $300,000 of CDBG 198.3-84 Entitlement funds to the housing rehabilitation program. 2. Submit an application to the State requesting funds for a deferred payment loan under the Residential Hotel Program. 3. Submit applications for funding to HUD under the Section 8 Existing and Moderate Rehab Program when funds become available. 4. Endorse the proposal for HUD 202 funding by the Five Counties Labor Council for a development at Heritage Plaza. All units assisted in the housing assistance plan must meet the eligibility criteria of lower income as established by HUD.
