REGULAR AGENDA

Development Corporation for $75,000 Community Development
Block Grant Funds for Pre-development Costs for Low Income
Housing Project. Contact Person: Housing Coordinator Brown.
Housing Coordinator Brown reported Esparanza was requesting $75,000
for preconstruction costs for a low income housing project. She
said the request met the criteria for both the Federal Community
Development Block Grant Funds and the City's objective which was to
encourage and support the development of low and moderate income
housing. Staff's recommendation was to approve the request from
Esperanza Housing and Community Development Corporation for $75,000
which would decrease the City's CDBG Housing Development Fund to
$137,243.
Sarah Rosenfield spoke in support of Esparanza's request.
Steve Feher, representing Esparanza Housing and Community
Development Corporation, said they had acquired the property in
August and had received tax credit which funded a large portion of
the project.
Luz Reader spoke in opposition to awarding Esparanza the requested
$75,000.
Council Member Slater asked why the architectural costs were so
high. Steve Feher said the public review process added
considerably to the costs.
Omsted moved, Davis seconded to approve the request for $75,000.
Motion carried. Ayes: Davis, Omsted, Wiegand; Nays: Hano,
Slater.

anything other than a residential use would require public review
through the CAB and Planning Commission.

provide programs for children in that area. He proposed that they
work with other service groups to rehabilitate the property.

their organization would be interested in a co-venture with the
Boys and Girls Club to use the property to provide childrens'
programs. She said they had discussed the possibility with Capri
Elementary PTA and they said their was a real need for this type of
facility in their neighborhood.
Denise Sanchez, representing Alliance for Drug Free Youth, said she
had tried to contact neighbors of the property but wasn't able to
talk to many or those adjacent to the property. She said their
organization's intent was to enhance the neighborhood rather than
impact it and that she would continue to make contact with the
neighbors.

would be perfect a location for parents who don't have
transportation to get children to other youth programs.
Wayne Holden commended the service groups for coming forward with
proposals to use the property.

support their proposal for low income housing.

Alternative organization.

newly formed organization. He said he had worked with transients
for several years and saw a great need in the City for low income
housing. His organization would like to use the house as a low
income single family home with the family to live there involved in
the rehabilitation of the property.

B. Smith suggested that the organizations that wanted to work
together meet and present a specific budget proposal. He asked if
the City would be responsible for relocation cost for the residents

the property for transitional housing and they could provide the
staff to administer the program. She said transitional housing
would be exempt from relocation costs.

volunteered his expertise in rehabilitation of the structure.
Richard Houk, representing Encinitas Rotary Club, said both
Encinitas and LaCosta Rotary felt it was a project that could be
completed within the budget. He said the roof needed replacement
but most of the rehabilitation would be paint and minor repairs.

be necessary regardless of the use and requested that the Rotary
Clubs be allowed to begin before the rainy season.

work. Motion carried. Ayes: Davis, Hano, Omsted, Slater,
