Background: On March 13, 1997, you reviewed a conceptual outline for the establishment of a City Home Improvement Program ("HIP") similar to the one currently available through the County of Riverside Economic Development Agency. The attached guidelines and schedule will combine the efforts of the County and City HIP, yet allows for the City's HIP to work independently of the County Program. The objective of the program is to preserve and improve neighborhoods, as well as improve the quality of life, health and safety in neighborhoods within the City of Palm Desert. The program targets single family owner-occupied residential property only. Eligibility income is limited to families whose income does not exceed 80% of the Riverside County median income adjusted by family size. The maximum allowable annual income at 80% is as follows: Family Size 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 " Max. @ 8% $25,080 $28,680 $32,240 $35,840 $38,720 $41,560 $44,440 $47,320 1 SUBJECT: HOME IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM GUIDELINES JUNE 13, 1997 Income is adjusted annually based on the Department of Housing and Urban Development's annual income increases which are released once a year statewide. Maximum allowable grant through the City's HIP shall not exceed $3,000 per household (allowable once every five years per household). The guidelines set out general participation requirements, program procedures and implementation, and establish roles and responsibilities naming the Housing Advisory Committee as the five-member review committee for approval of applications and review of appeals. A checklist of required documents for purpose of verification of income and ownership is attached for both County and City programs along with a timeline for program implementation assuming an additional position is approved as part of the overall program design.

BACKGROUND The County of Riverside EDA administers a county-wide Home Improvement [Loan] Program (HIP) available to Palm Desert residents. Funding is provided from Community Development Block Grant funds. In order to expedite processing for residents of Palm Desert who qualify and wish to participate in the County Program, City of Palm Desert staff has joint-ventured with the County to expedite applicant's intake processing; identification of code violation and correction, and site inspection assistance during course of construction. The County offers loans of up to $30,000 at 5% interest to homeowner occupants (of single- family homes) whose income does not exceed 80% of the county median income. County applications must be submitted to the County EDA for processing and approval. In conjunction with the County's HIP, the City of Palm Desert offers its own HIP to either enhance the county program or as a stand-alone program for qualifying applicants. City offers grants of up to $3,000 to owner occupants of single family homes whose income does not exceed 80% of the County median income (see 'Eligibility', Page 3). City application must be submitted to the City housing division for processing and approval. II.

The compiled data will assist the City's Redevelopment Agency in obtaining housing units and/or subsidizing rental units so that the City may reach its mandated quota for affordable housing. We began by looking at rental units. At first we went to the Board of Realtors, the Multi-Agency Library, Wheeler's Desert Letters, and the College of the Desert Business Department. We also called the Department of Finance in Sacramento. We were hoping that these resources would have data that would assist us in establishing a list of rental complexes. Unfortunately, all of these sources proved fruitless. Finally, a four-volume printout of the City's Annual Fire Tax Report for the fiscal year 1996-1997 was supplied by the City's Redevelopment Agency. We examined every page of the report and documented all property listed under multi-family residential zoning with three or more dwelling units. A copy of a compiled list for"Apartments Assessed for Proposition A, 1984-1985" was also supplied. By merging these two documents we generated a complete list of multi-family dwelling sites in Palm Desert. Through site inspections and interviews with managers, owners and tenants, we determined for each site the total number of rental units, the types of available units (i.e., number of bedrooms), the rent range for units at each site and the approximate average income of the tenants in each type of unit. (See Chart 1, pages 1-5.) Of the 246 sites surveyed, only 114 properties were multi-family dwelling sites, as the other 132 had recently been converted into condominiums or commercial business. Overall, the 114 sites consist of 87 studio units, 570 one-bedroom units, 1370 two-bedroom units and 88 three-bedroom units--for a grand total of 2115 rental units. (See Figure 1.) As one might expect, the rental prices varied significantly. Rental prices for the studios ranged from $300 to $600, with an average rent of$420 per unit. One-bedroom units cost between $350 and $700, with an average rent of$480 per unit. Two-bedroom units cost anywhere from $400 to $1000, with an average rent of ""` $600. The price for three-bedroom units ranged from $585 to $755, with an average rent of$675 per unit. (See Figure 2.) After assessing rentals, we turned our attention to units for sale. In the course of performing site inspections we learned that 73-555 Shadow Mountain, 45-486 Panorama and 73-301 Guadalupe are on the market. The property at 73-555 Shadow Mountain has four units: one single-bedroom unit and three two- bedroom units. This property is offered by Tarbell Realty (760-773-1919) and is priced at $191,000. (See Appendix A.) The property at 45-486 Panorama has four two-bedroom units and is priced at $205,000, while 73-301 Guadalupe is an eight-unit property priced at $375,000. (See Appendices B and C, respectively.) The latter two properties are listed with Pat Reed at Prudential Realty (760-773-4400). Two other pieces of property are vacant but are not for sale at this time. The first is located at 74-090 Chicory Street and the second is at 74-105 Candlewood Street. (See Appendix D.) Both properties are owned by Home Savings of America(818-814-7234). We also surveyed local hospitality employers, i.e., hotels and country clubs. The median wage is $5.00 per hour for a busboy (minimum wage), $5.75 per hour for a housekeeper and $7.00 per hour for a groundskeeper. Therefore, gross annual income for busboys is $10,400 or $866 per month; for housekeepers it is $12,060 or $1005 per month; and for groundskeepers it is $14,560 or $1213 per month. (See Figure 3.) Having assessed the availability of multi-family dwelling units for purposes of both acquisition and subsidy, we next focused on the median income of the people of Palm Desert. Very low income is 50% of the median income and affordable housing costs are figured at 30%of this amount. Low income is 51%to 80% of the median income and affordable housing costs are once again figured at 30%the low-income amount. For the purposes of this report, we used 80%to calculate the annual and monthly low-income figures. In January 1997, the Housing and Urban Development Authority's published a list of median incomes for one-, two-, three-, and four-person households. The list shows that the median income for one-person households is $31,350, for two-person households is $35,850, for three-person households is $40,300 and for page 2 four-person households is $44,800. Therefore, monthly affordable housing for a one-person, very low- income household is $390, for a two-person household is $450, for a three-person household is $500 and for a four-person household is $560. Monthly affordable housing costs for a one-person, low-income household is $625, for two-person household is $720, for three-person household is $800 and for four-person household is $900. (See Chart 2.) We found that none of the monthly rental prices in Palm Desert falls within the very low-income range. Other than the housing already subsidized by the Federal Housing Association and the City of Palm Desert, there is no available housing for people in the very low-income range. Based on the results of the research project, it is our recommendation that the City of Palm Desert subsidize an appropriate percentage of the available two-bedroom apartments for households in the very low income range. Moreover, as shown in Figure 1, there is an extreme shortage of three-bedroom housing. Therefore, it is our further recommendation that the City of Palm Desert purchase and subsidize three- bedroom single-family dwellings for larger very low- and low-income families.

[THIRTEENTH DISCUSSION DRAFT-s`r=9,1997] `T11L +4-M TiO5 SAMPLE BILL (SENATE BILL No. 71) WF A 4'C c oN / SU 4€rafirton.LS ` OU MA`( t}A*. 0.ea An Act to add Section 33334.25 of the Health and Safety Code and Section 65584.5 of frePREctRTf-� the Government Code. relating to redevelopment and housing. vZS Existing law, known as the Community Redevelopment Law, authorizes the establishment of redevelopment agencies in communities to address the effects of blight, as defined, in those communities. The Community Redevelopment Law generally prohibits a redevelopment agency from using money in its Low- and Moderate-income Housing Fund outside the agency's jurisdictional boundaries except under limited conditions. This bill would establish a pilot project that would allow, under specified conditions, any of the redevelopment agencies in the Coachella Valley to transfer money from its Low- and Moderate-income Housing Fund to any one or more of the other communities therein in exchange for affordable housing credits to meet project area production requirements and/or regional housing needs. The intent is to efficiently provide low-and moderate-income housing in blighted downtowns_ The improved and expanded living conditions will help revitalize blighted downtowns. The bill would also make a legislative finding and declaration relating to the need for the pilot project and declare that due to the unique circumstances existing in the Coachella Valley, as specified, a general statue cannot be applicable within the meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution and that a special statute is necessary. The bill would also express the legislative intent that the program established by the bill serve as a pilot project in coaecc:ien This bill would state that these provisions are to remain in effect only until January 1, 2005, and as of that date arc repealed unless a later enacted statute, enacted before that date deletes or extends that date. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State mandated local program: no. The people of the State of California do enact as follows: SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares as follows: (a) The 10 jurisdictions in the Coachella Valley of California have a total population of that of a medium-sized city in this state. (b) The 10 jurisdictions in the Coachella Valley-are bounded by mountains, anti desert, and the Salton Sea and located between the San Bernardino and Imperial County lines, form a relatively compact and seamless development pattern 1 Jun-04-97 12 : 28P CoachellaValleyAssocofGov 760-340-5949 P. 02 (c ) Larger individual municipalities in this state are able to make rational allocation of housing resources by more effectively targeting low- and moderate-income housing in areas with affordable real estate, adequate infrastructure, and good linkages to jobs and services. (dl The City of Riverside, with a similar populationand land area_ is able to make effective allocation . is sine resou.rcet even though their ho�tngmarket is inetxtricably tied to communities all around them and in different counties andmany of their residents commute out of the city and county. f el The Coachella Valley is a single housing and job market with very few residents commuting out of thisisolatedregion to access jobs in other rujons. It is also an area with ten municipal governments* none of which have a population of over 5Q 000 persons aid two of which populations of under 110.000 persons. f "ale jurisdictions in the Coachella Valley have_shown a c mmitme:nt to work together on many regional issues_includingrtransportation, habitat prs—scrvation. and tourism. The Coachella Valley Association of Governments has been in existence for over_two decades and other Joint Powers authorities have a similarly long and successful history in addressing regional issues.
