SUMMARY
r This document represents a preliminary third-year Community Develop-
ment Program. It is in response to the requirements of the Housing
and Community Development Act of 1974 . The Act entitles the City
of Huntington Beach to receive $2 .4 million over a three year
period for projects designed to prevent or eliminate slums of
blight, assist low and moderate income families and meet urgent
community development needs . For the . last two years the City ap-
plied for and received entitlements totaling $1 .1 million.
The first and second year Community Development Programs identi-
fied community development needs, developed long term objectives
designed to meet those needs, specified short term community
development objectives that would be accomplished within the three
years currently funded by the Housing and Community Development Act,
and proposed specific projects for funding during the first two
program years.
This document contains a proposed third-year Community Development
Program. It is intended that this program continue to meet the
community development needs, and long and short term objectives
identified in the previous years ' programs . It also proposes
additional projects that will be funded by the third-year entitle-
ment of $1 . 244 million plus $275 , 000 reprogrammed from previous
r years' entitlements.
This report outlines the provisions of the 1974 Act as they apply
to Huntington Beach and explains the process used to formulate the
City ' s preliminary Community Development Program. (The Housing
Assistance Plan, also required by the Act, is discussed in a fol-
lowing section of this document. )
A major requirement of the application procedure is citizen input,
and to meet this criterion as well as to ensure that the Community
Development program ultimately adopted reflects the needs and
desires of the public, the City relied on the findings of the
adopted General Plan supplemented by public meetings . However, in
an effort to expand the role of citizens in formulating the Com-
munity Development Program, the City Council appointed a Citizen
Advisory Committee. The Committee, representing a variety of
organizations , conducted public meetings to obtain ideas from
citizens and other organizations. The Committee then evaluated
' City Staff and citizen input. Its efforts culminated in the
presentation of a recommended third-year program.
Specifically, this twelve project, $1. 519 million program adopted
by the City Council is designed to accomplish these objectives :
r 1. Meet important community needs that might otherwise be neg-
lected because of inadequate financial resources.
23
2. Comply with federal criteria by presenting a balanced program
addressing the problems of blight, the plight of low income
residents, and community development needs .
3 . Avoid committing the City to activities that will add long-range
costs to the already burdened financial structure.
The recommended projects are explained and analyzed in Section 2 . 5
and outlined below:
1. Acquisition of land for construction of Senior Citizens
Housing ($250, 000) .
2. Construction of Community Center/Boys' Club at Bushard ($205,300)
3. Construct 3000 sq. ft. addition to Senior Citizens Center for
transportation-lunch-counseling program ($105, 000) .
4. Day Care Center at Oakview ($165, 000) .
5. Projects to improve handicapped mobility ($43 , 500) .
6. Rehabilitation Loans for low- & moderate-income homeowners
($100, 000) .
7. Outreach Program for Oakview Community Center Station Wagon and
Bi-lingual staff instruction ($12 , 500) .
8. Renovation of City Gym ($20, 000) .
9. Repair to Del Mar Storm Drain ($200, 000) . /
10. Additional construction of O1d ..Town Storm Drain ($300, 000) .
11. Code Enforcement Program for Dangerous Buildings in the
Downtown Area ($40, 000) .
12. Unspecified Local Option Activities ($4.1, 700) .
These recommended projects are intended to serve the interests of
the community while satisfying the requirements imposed by federal
regulations . Should any of these projects be judged unacceptable
by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the City will
have the opportunity to substitute additional projects - such as
those listed in Exhibit E. As well, should conditions change
during the program's implementation phase, the City is also per-
mitted to reallocate funds among approved projects or submit new
projects to HUD for approval.

i 1. 0 THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT OF 1974
During the decade of the sixties, the Federal Government initiated
numerous urban and social development programs to deal withh the
growing problems faced by cities in America. The Housing and
Community Development Act (HCD) , signed into law by President Ford
in August, 1974, consolidates these several programs into one "block
grant" system designed to facilitate a comprehensive approach to
community development.
As stated by Congress, the primary objectives of the Act is to
develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a
® suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities
principally for low and moderate income families . Grant assistance
is provided for community development activities that prevent or
eliminate slums and blighted conditions, that assist low and
moderate income families, or that meet urgent community development
needs .
Specifically, the Act entitles the City of Huntington Beach to
$2. 4 million over a three year period. Of this amount, 1 .1 million
was available to and successfully applied for by the City in the
first and second entitlement years. The third year entitlement is
$1. 244 million. These funds, as stipulated by Congress, can be
expended for the following types of programs.
1. eliminating blight and deterioration
25
2. eliminating conditions detrimental to public health,
safety, and welfare ,
3 . conserving and expanding the housing stock
4 . expanding and improving community facilities
5.. rationally utilizing land and other natural resources ,
6. promoting neighborhood vitality and diversity
7 . restoring and preserving properties of special interest or
significance.
The intent of the Act is to encourage physical development. Social
services are assigned only secondary importance by the Act under
the assumption that alternative funding is available for such
projects. As a result, the major emphasis of the Community
Development Program must be toward physical development projects
even though social service programs are badly needed. The Act
specifies that social services are fundable only if they are under-
taken in conjunction with physical development or if no other
funding sources can be employed. Therefore, the task facing the
City in continuing to implement the Housing and Community Develop-
ment Act is to maintain a comprehensive program of development
activities that meet federal criteria while fulfilling the City ' s i
evolving housing and community development needs .
1. 1 The Community Development Application
To secure the funds entitled to Huntington Beach under the Housing
and Community Development Act, the City must file an application
each year with the Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) . The application consists of two phases: a Housing
Assistance Plan (a separate section of this document) and a Com-
munity Development (CD) Program.
The requirements for the Community Development Program are clearly
specified in HUD regulations. Specifically, the CD Program must
include:
1. assessment and identification of community development
problems and needs;
2. a statement of long-term objectives to be accomplished over
time;
3 . a statement of short-term objectives to be accomplished
within three years; and
26
4 . a one-year program to be funded by the City 's annual
entitlement.
The Community Development program must include citizen input in its
formulation.
1. 2 The First Year Program
The City's first year entitlement was $460, 000 . Citizen and City
Staff input resulted in the funding of a variety of projects that
were aimed at benefiting low and moderate income families, elimin-
ating blight and meeting urgent community development needs. These
Projects were approved in the first year and the funding amounts
r are as follows:
1. Citizen participation for the second $ :10, 000
year HCD Program
2. Assistance to the Orange County
Housing Authority for a Tenant
Relations Officer
3 . Community Analysis Project $ _ 20, 000
4. Upgrade substandard water facilities $ 50 , 000
in the Townlot Area
5. Revolving funds for substandard lot $100,000
consolidation
6. Wheel chair ramp installation $ 50, 000
7 . Senior citizen van, recreation $ 15 , 000
equipment and facility renovation
8 . Community Center or park for depressed $100,000
areas and/or Oldtown
9 . Swimming facilities for the handicapped $105,000
As previously mentioned, the application for these funds must
include a Housing Assistance Plan. The initial plan submitted in
the first entitlement year cited a need for approximately 6, 525
low income housing units. While the City requested 330 assisted
housing units, it was allocated only 144 . As of December, 1976 ,
fifteen units had been leased to very low income families .
The Second Year Program
r The City ' s second year entitlement was $690 , 000 . Again, through
the process of citizen and staff input the following projects were
selected to benefit low- and moderate-income families , eliminate
blight, and meet urgent community needs:
1 . Construction of Community Center and $109 , 000
Human Service Center to be operated
by Boy' s Club at Bushard school site
2 . Expansion of handicapped pool to $110 , 000
community swim complex at Oceanview
High School
3 . Assistance to the Orange County $ 10 , 000
Housing Authority for Tenant Relations
Officer
4 . Outdoor recreation facilities for Senior $ 50 , 000
Citizens Center
5. Storm drain project, Delaware Street, $300, 000
Adams to Yorktown
6 . Loan to Human Resources Council for $ 38 , 000
Day Care Center
7 . Loan to Redevelopment Agency for $ 30 , 000
architectural, engineering and consulting 7
activities for Downtown Project
8 . Shamel ash tree removal project $ 43 ,000
The second year application included the required Housing Assistance
Plan. The corrected version of the HAP (as submitted to HUD on r
July 14 , 1976) documented that 8 , 253 households required housing
assistance. The City' s goal for assisted Section 8 existing units
was 617, but the City received an allocation of 335 . As of
January 1, 1977 , approximately ..22.8 of these units were under lease
to low- and moderate-income families .
1.3 Citizen Participation
A major requirement of the Housing and Community Development Act
is citizen participation in the formulation of the CD program and
Housing Assistance Plan. The intention of the Act is that the
programs adopted reflect the needs and desires of the residents
of the community. During the first and second entitlement years
application process, the City relied on the findings of the Policy
Plan, two series of Community Forums and public hearings before
both the Planning Commission and City Council for this valuable
input. During the third entitlement year, the City will use the
General Plan, public meetings and public hearings before the Plan-
ning Commission and City Council, a Citizen Advisory Committee, and
a community opinion survey.
2R-__ i
r
S The community opinion survey sampled the views of 300 households in
portions of the City, identified as having a concentration of low-,
and moderate-income households . Respondents were asked their
opinions on their satisfaction with their neighborhood, community
problems, and the City' s past Community Development Programs . In
addition, a large amount of demographic data was gathered including
age, income, and ethnic characteristics of respondents and their
household composition, employment, and housinu type and cost. The
results and analysis of the survey were presented to the Citizens
Advisory Committee (a copy of the questionnaire is included in
Appendix B ) .
The Housing and Community Development Citizens Advisory Committee
was formed primarily to increase citizen participation in the
formulation of each year ' s community development program. The
committee represents a variety of boards and commissions active in
Huntington Beach as well as citizens at large. Specifically, the
responsibilities of the Citizen Advisory Committee are to:
1 . Hold meetings open to the public to solicit comments and
suggestions for community development needs, goals, and
projects for funding.
2 . Review projects submitted for funding consideration by
i City departments or other organizations .
3 . Recommend to Planning Commission and City Council a Com-
munity Development Program and Housing Assistance Plan for
the annual application.
The Citizens Advisory Committee held one widely advertised public
meeting in January, 1977 , in which citizen ideas were gathered.
Personal invitations were extended to members of political,
service, social, and civic organizations . In addition, advertise-
ments in several local newspapers extended notice of the meetings
to the general public.
Based on the input received at the Citizens Advisory Committee
public meetings and the community opinion survey, the Committee
submitted a recommended CD program to the Planning Commission and
City Council. Public hearings were then held before the Planning
Commission and City Council prior to final adoption of the CD
program and Housing Assistance Plan. The City Council adopted this
CD Program and Housing Assistance Plan on March 14 , 1977 .

2. 0 FORMULATING THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Receiving direction from citizens, staff , and the General Plan, the
Housing and Community Development Citizen Advisory Committee began
its task of formulating a final plan. The components of the third
year ' s CD program are contained in this section and include:
1. A statement of general community needs derived from citizen i
input and the General Plan (EXHIBIT A) ;
2 . A statement of long-term objectives derived from citizen
input, city staff and previous year 's applications
intended to meet identified community needs (Exhibit B) ;
r
3 . A statement of more specific short-term objectives (also
intended to meet identified community needs) that can be
accomplished in three years (Exhibit C) ; and
4 . Community Development Program alternatives to be completed
in the third year with the City' s $1 . 244 million entitle-
ment (Exhibits D, E,,) . This se ction I analyzes pro-
jects submitted by City departments, citizens, and other
organizations against a specific criteria based on the
requirements of the Act, the needs and objectives state-
ments, citizen input, and timeliness . The alternatives
lip
.include a recommended program developed by the Citizens
Advisory Committee as well as a listing of other suggested
projects that are appropriate for funding under the require-
ments of the Act, a category of acceptable projects that
are not feasible for the third year program, but which
could be incorporated in later applications, and a category
of suggested projects that are considered inappropriate for
funding under the Act.
2. 1 Statement of Community Needs
The Statement of Community Needs presented in Exhibit A represents
the heart of the Community Development Program. Based on the
. General Plan, this statement identifies priority needs in the
community. The needs statement outlines a general direction for
. the City to follow in achieving a better tomorrow; and the object-
ives and projects contained in the Community Development Program are
guided by that directive.
. 2 . 2 Long-Term Objectives
Exhibit B sets forth seven long-term objectives designed to meet the
community needs identified in Exhibit A. These objectives rep-
resent achievements to be accomplished over the coming years
through the Community Development Program and other City activities .
In other words, the long-term objectives are major community goals
to be pursued.
2.3 Short-Term Objectives
More specifically, the short-term objectives listed in Exhibit C are
designed to make measurable progress towards meeting the City' s
identified needs . They are expected to be accomplished during the
three years currently funded by the Housing and Community Develop-
ment Act. These objectives concern a variety of issues and are
intended to define the immediate goals used by the City in formu-
lating its one-year plans for this and future HCD program years .
2. 4 Criteria for Third-Year Program
Of direct concern, however, is the third year program. Projects
included here will be funded by the third year entitlement of
$1. 244 million and will be initiated on the approval of the City 's
application by HUD. The projects scheduled for the third year
must address identified community needs and objectives and be con-
sistent with the criteria of the Housing and Community Development
Act. That is, they must be directed at preventing or eliminating
blight, assisting low and moderate income families or meeting
urgent community development needs.
r
31
To review all the projects submitted by City Departments, civic .
groups, and private citizens the Citizens Advisory Committee used
a score system based upon three major criteria.
1. Intent of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 ;
2 . The City' s Community Development Program; and
3 . The City 's Capital Improvement and Revenue Sharing
programs.
These criteria were selected to help assure that projects that
received a high rating would address the intent of the Act and
be consistent with the objectives of the adopted Community Develop-
ment Program. Projects that also would leverage dollars by compli-
mentary capital improvements. or revenue sharing projects received
bonus points . The score sheet was also weighted to give preference
to projects that addressed needs identified in the community
opinion survey. To assure an active and feasible Community
Development Program for the third year, only projects that were
deemed feasible to implement within the program year were subjected
to the score system. (See Appendix C for Project Selection Criteria. )
2 . 5, The Community Development Projects
Exhibit ,D presents the Third-Year Community Development Program.
These projects reflect the highest ratings when analyzed according
to the criteria presented earlier; that is, they are moderately to
highly consistent with HUD criteria, community development
objectives and needs and are achievable within the time frame of the
Housing and Community Development Act .
In addition, . thisyear. the Citizens Advisory Committee, Planning
Commission, and City Council also considered past years ' programs
whose outlook for completion looked questionable. As a result of
this review the following programs were reprogrammed by the City
Council and their funds were added to those availalbe for Third
Year projects :
First Year Projects
Old Town Park: The cost of the acquisition of this site now far
exceeds the funds appropriated and the Council has decided to fund
it through Proposition 2. ($50, 000)
Handicapped Pool: The cost of this project has also escalated far
beyond the amount allocated to it under HUD. The Council will
consider this project under the Revenue Sharing Program. ($105,000)
on
i
Second Year Projects
Assistance to the Orange County Housing Authority: The City
Council chose not to renew the City' s contract with the Orange
County Housing Authority due to criticism of the contractual
arrangement by the City' s Human Resources Council and Council on
Aging. Therefore, these funds were reprogrammed. ($10, 000)
Handicapped Pool: As described above this project excluded
original cost estimates and these second year funds were also
reprogrammed by the City Council. ($110, 000)
Total : $275, 000
r Specifically, the twelve project, $1. 519 million program approved
by the Huntington Beach City Council is as presented below.
1. Acquisition of Land for Construction of Senior Citizens
Housing:
This project will finance the purchase of land for a senior
citizen housing project. Once purchased, the City would have
the ability to make the land available to a private developer
below cost or for no cost. This would result in a lower project
cost and thus lowers rent to the elderly tenants. It would also
increase greatly the City' s chances of receiving federal assist-
ance for the private developer to construct the project (the
federal government considers this "land write-down" procedure
a good faith effort °on the part of the City) . ($250, 000)
2. Construction of Community Center/Boys' Club at Bushard:
r This project will provide community center building with four
social service offices, a large community use room, gymnasium,
mat room, crafts shop, games room, and a reading - learning
center. Programs to benefit neighborhood residents such as
adult education, recreation, mental health, juvenile counse-
ling, and legal aid will also be provided. ($205, 300)
3. Construction of 3000 sq. ft. Addition to the Senior Citizens
Center for Transportation -. Lunch - Counseling Program:
This project will finance the construction of a 3000 sq. ft.
multi-purpose room addition to the Senior Citizen' s Recreation
i Center at 17th and Orange Street. The room is desired for
primary use as an alternative site for the Transportation-
Lunch-Counseling (T.L.C. ) Program currently operated in the
old Civic Center. A new location is needed because the old
Civic Center is scheduled for demolition. ($105, 000) .
4. Day Care Center at Oak View Community Center:
This project will provide a day care facility for approximately
90 children of the promihately low-income, minority residents
of the Oakview area. ' Specific facilities and services are
as follows: -
1. 3000 sq. ft. bldg. $75, 000
2. Staff of 6 $60, 000
3. Admin. , insurance, $30, 000
equipment and supplies
These funds would be adequate for the first year of operation
of the proposed facility and the project would be administered
by the Parks and Recreation Department, school district, or
a local non-profit organization. ($165,000)
5. Projects to Improve Handicapped Mobility:
These projects will provide the following:
25 curb cuts (various locations) . $41,250
25 "B" Boxes (signal controls @ intersection) 15,750
Modifications and purchase parks equipment 5, 000
Purchase parking signs 1, 500 r
$43, 500
It is expected that these facilities will vastly improve the
mobility of handicapped persons throughout the City.
6. Provision of Rehabilitation Loans for Low- and Moderate Income-" -- y
Homeowners :
This project will finance the subsidy for loans to low- .and
moderate-income families for the rehabilitation of their homes.
Several private lending institutions offer programs designed
to fit the criteria of the HCD program. The City will use
these funds to lower the interest rate on loans offered by a
private bank. In this way the HCD funds are "leveraged"
because only a portion of the interest is paid by the City and
the principal of the loan and the remainder of the interest is
repaid by the loanee. The City will assist the loan applicant
with the credit application and agree to prepay its share of `
the interest upon the issuance of the loan. ($100, 000)
7. Outreach Program at the Oak View Community Center:
This project will finance the expantion of the current program
at the Oakview Community Center. Specifically, the request in- r
cludes funds for: a station wagon to be used for field trips,
outreach home visitation, workshops and medical transportation;
and a training program for volunteers and staff including
conversational Spanish. ($12 , 500)
8 . Renovation of the City Gym:
This project will provide new exercise and physical therapy
1 equipment at this facility for the elderly and handicapped.
($20, 000)
9. Del Mar Storm Drain Repair:
This project will repair levies damaged by earth settling.
This damage now permits flood waters contained within the
channel to flow into a mobile home park inhabited by low-
income elderly residents. ($200, 000)
10. ' Old Town Storm Drain Construction:
This project will provide funds for an extention to the storm
drain originally funded under the City' s Second Year HCD
Program. The Old Town area is one of the City' s designated
target areas that has a severe flooding problem, and is
inhabited principally by low-income residents. ($300, 000)
r 11. Dangerous Building Code Enforcement:
This project would initiate the systematic inspection of
buildings in the City ' s downtown area (one of the HCD target
neighborhoods) in an effort to achieve privately sponsored
compliance to the Uniform Building Code. ($40, 000)
12. Unspecified Local Option Activities :
For the first time the City has chosed to reserve some of its
entitlement for unspecified activities. These funds may be
used to provide additional funds for designated third year
programs or may fund additional programs to compliment third
year HCD activities. ($41�700)

; SUMMARY
The Housing Assistance Plan is a required portion of the City of
Huntington Beach' s application , for funds allocated to it under the
Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. A Housing Assistance
Plan is an assessment of the City' s need for assisted housing for
lower income households and its plans for providing housing to meet
those needs. It is also an attempt to relate community development
programs and comprehensive planning to the provision of lower income
housing.
The Housing Assistance Plan must contain four specific areas of
information:
(1) an accurate survey of the condition of the existing housing
stock;
(2) an assessment, of the housing assistance needs of lower income
persons now residing or expected to reside in Huntington
1 Beach in the near future;
(3) specification of a realistic annual goal for the number of
dwelling units or persons that will be assisted;
(4) and identification of the- general locations of any proposed
r assisted housing.
Census and other data indicate that generally housing in Huntington
Beach is in very good condition and much of it is owner occupied.
Huntington Beach currently has a shortage of 5, 142 dwelling units
in the lower income price ranges. Many lower income families are
paying more than a normal amount for their housing. of all house-
holds in Huntington Beach, 13, 082 have incomes below the federally
defined lower income level. Approximately 6, 500 families fall into
the very low income category. Low income senior citizens, handi-
capped and large families have special difficulties in locating
affordable standard housing.
HUD has not yet indicated the general range within which Huntington
Beach' s final Section 8 Housing Assistance Program allocation will
be. In addition, several other important factors such as the
precise role the City wishes to take, the availability of housing
sponsors and Huntington Beach' s relative needs as viewed by HUD
are not clearly defined at this time.

However, the City Council adopted the following:
(1) That Alternative #2 be endorsed as the Housing Assistance Plan
must appropriate to the recommended Community Development
Program.
(2) That the assisted housing unit goal be distributed amongst
the impacted groups as follows:
Elderly and handicapped 325 units
(New Construction) (100)
Large Families 175 units
Other Families 450 units
TOTAL 950 units
(3) That the three year goal for housing assistance reflects the
goals set forth in Alternative #2 and include the fair share
allocations as delineated by S.C.A.G. Allocation of units
would be as follows (see Figure 6-2) :
a. Elderly and disabled three year goal is 475 units.
b. Large family three year goal is 440 units.
C. All remaining families three year goal is 1070 units.

1.,0 INTRODUCTION
The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 imposes several
new housing responsibilities on local governments.
. All new federally assisted housing must be provided in conformance
with a local housing assistance plan.
. A local housing assistance plan must be included as part of any
development program funded under Title 1 of the Housing and
Community Development Act of 1974.
. Each localrecipient of federal planning assistance under Title IV
of the Act is required to carry out a comprehensive planning
program than includes a "housing element. "
The housing assistance plan required under the Act is an attempt to
more closely relate community development activities and the .
comprehensive planning process to the provision of housing speci-
fically for lower income families. The housing assistance plan is
also intended to place new emphasis on the provision of local
housing services. A major benefit of local governments is the
increased control over location, type of housing provided and market

served for any federally assisted housing that might be constructed
in a community. ,
1. 1 Contents of the Housing Assistance Plan
Specifically, a housing assistance plan must contain information
pertaining to four required areas of consideration.
. The housing assistance plan must accurately survey the condition
of the existing housing stock. : This requirement must specify the
number of housing units that currently exist; how many are in
standard, substandard, or deteriorating condition; whether or not
these units are vacant or occupied; and how many substandard units
are suitable for rehabilitation.
. The housing assistance plan must contain an assessment of the
housing assistance needs of lower income persons now residing in
Huntington Beach or expected to reside in this City in the near
future. ,The survey of housing assistance needs must include
special consideration for minority populations , women, elderly
and handicapped persons, displaced persons, and large families .
. The housing assistance plan must specify a realistic annual goal
for the number of dwelling units or persons that will be assisted.
This goal must also include the mix of new, existing and
rehabilitated dwelling units , the size and types of projects and
assistance best suited to the needs of Huntington Beach's lower
income families.
. The housing assistance plan must also identify the general loca-
tions of the proposed assisted housing, with the objectives of
furthering revitalization of the community, promoting greater
choices of housing opportunity, avoiding undue concentrations of
lower income persons and assuring the availability of adequate
public facilities and services for such housing.
1. 2 Assisted Housing Funding
The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, in addition to
allocating funds directly to cities for "community development"
activities, appropriated funds under several programs specifically
for housing assistance. The Secretary of the Department of Housing
and Urban Development has or will be allocating portions of these
housing assistance funds to HUD and FHA Insuring Area offices.
This pool of federal housing assistance funds will have amounts
set aside for local communities based on either a formula (fair
share) allocation, an approved housing assistance plan, or a .
combination of both. Private, non-profit, or public lower income
housing developers or sponsors may then submit proposals for either
new, existing, or rehabilitated dwelling unit projects to the HUD
area office. HUD or FHA will approve or reject a project requesting
federal housing assistance funds based on the annual housing
assistance plan submitted by Hun ton Beach and approved by HUD.
All or part of Huntington Beach' s "community development" funds may
also be used to supplement available federal housing assistance
funds. The manner in which these funds are used is largely open to
the community as long as the criteria of the Act are met.

2 . 0 CONDITION OF THE HOUSING STOCK
Housing in Huntington Beach can be categorized as being largely
owner occupied and in good condition. This can be attributed to
the large number of single family housing tracts that have been
constructed and to the fact that the majority of all housing is
less than fifteen years old. However, according to the Southern
California Association of Governments' revised Regional Housing ,
Allocation Model approximately 345 substandard units exist in
Huntington Beach and an .additional 914 units are suitable for. re-
habilitation.

3. 0 HOUSING ASSISTANCE NEEDS OF LOWER INCOME HOUSEHOLDS
r The requirement in the Housing and Community .Develop'ment Act of 1974
that the housing assistance plan contain an assessment of the
housing assistance needs of lower income households residing in
Huntington Beach is an effort to assure that local government
carefully investigate the demand side of the housing problem. ' It is
necessary to look at the components of housing demand in order to
r understand current conditions and make projections concerning future
demand. The identified existing and future need must be known if
Huntington Beach is to establish realistic housing assistance goals.
3. 1 Sound Housing/Rent Gap Analysis
The basic technique for determining total housing assistance needs
is the comparison of existing supply and existing demand for housing.
To conduct a sound housing/rent gap analysis, it is necessary to
sort through the housing supply grouping housing units into appro-
priate rent categories. Households then must be grouped into
comparable rent paying or home buying ability categories. The dif-
ference between the available supply and the demand in a particular
rent paying/home buying ability range indicates the need for housing

in that price range. Figure 3-1 displays housing supply and demand
in Huntington Beach. Households in income categories above $12 , 000
/ (80% of the regionwide $15 , 000 median income) are not eligible for
housing assistance except for large families in the $12 , 000 to
$15, 999 income category. If there are an insufficient number of
housing units in the City with four bedrooms and rents of $280 a
month or less ($27 , 000 or less for housing value) many large families
in the $12 , 000 to $15, 999 income categories will need assistance.
Since the median value of 3 or more bedroom units in Huntington
Beach is high (rent - $332, house - $48 , 035) the number of 4 bedroom
units valued appropriately for the aforementioned can be assumed to
be inadequate. Therefore, housing shortage in Huntington Beach is th
difference between the supply and demandin the rent paying/home
buying ability ranges with less than $12 , 000 incomes and the number
of large families with incomes of $12 , 000 to $15, 000. The total
need in Huntington Beach based on the described criteria is 5 , 142
units according to the latest available data- and including_the
need for additional families which may reasonably be expected to
reside in the community.
The house values and rents matched up to each income category are
based on the sliding scale of ability to pay starting at 30 percent
of gross income in the lowest category, going down to 16 percent in
the highest category.
3. 2 Impacted Groups
The Federal Government has defined lower income households as being
those households whose total family income is less than eighty per
cent of the median income of the area for a family of the same size.
According to 1976 Southern California Association of Governments '
data, there are approximately 13, 082 lower income households.
The Federal Governm_ent_ has also defined those households whose
total family income is less than fifty percent of the median in-
come of the area as very- low. -income fami-lies. --Of the. aforementioned
lower income families, approximately 6 , 500 households meet the
very low income criteria.
r Several groups of households constitute a significant portion of
these lower and very low income households.
. Senior Citizens : 1, 515 elderly households are estimated to have
incomes below the lower income level. Approximately 858 of these
elderly households fall into the very low income category. The
large number of lower income senior, citizens is especially sig-
nificant when it is pointed out that their earned incomes usually
decline with age, and their actual incomes are eroded as inflation
and housing costs increase. Significant concentrations of Senior
Citizens exist in three areas of the City.
. Large Families : 4, 729 families with five or more persons are
estimated to have incomes below the lower income level. Approxi-
f
r,7
mately 78 percent of these lower income families have incomes at
or below the very low income level. Many of these families are
living in overcrowded conditions.
Handicapped Persons: Huntington Beach has one of the largest
concentrations of handicapped and disabled persons in Orange
County. These persons require specially designed housing that is
not available and face many of the same income and housing problems
as the elderly. Approximately 920 low income handicapped house-
holds have been identified of which 409 live in one or two person
households.
3. 3 Anticipated Future Assisted Housing Needs
A three year Housing Assistance Program is required for the 1976
application. Therefore, anticipated increases of lower income
households must be considered. Also, in cooperation with other
cities in the region, a fair share allocation of lower income groups
to each City should be made so that said groups will be dispersed
throughout the region rather than concentrated in limited areas. .
Fair Share Allocation - According to SCAG estimates, Huntington
Beach should increase projected housing assistance needs for the
third year goal by 1 ,869 units. The units should be distributed
in the following manner:
783 units in the $ 0 - $ 3, 000 income range
951 .units• in the $ 3 , 000 - $ 7 , 000 income range
135 units in the $ 7 , 000 - $12 , 000 income range
. Future needs through normal growth - By 1978 there will be approxi-
mately 16, 036 lower income households of which 1, 402 will be ' ,
large families, 2 , 756 will be 65 and over households, and 1, 068 will
be handicapped households. Assuming that the present low cost
housing stock does not deteriorate and that no new housing is
constructed in the low cost range (rent less than $230, house
value less than $20, 000) , a total of 8 , 625 low cost units will be
available. This would indicate a need for assisted housing of
7, 411 units .
When fair share allocations and normal growth are considered together,
a three year need for Huntington Beach is 9, 485 assisted units.

4. 0 SPECIFIED REALISTIC ANNUAL GOAL FOR ASSISTED HOUSING
r The Housing Assistance Plan must specify a realistic annual goal
for the number of dwelling units to be assisted, using Federal
or other available housing assistance resources, taking into consid-
eration the housing conditions and needs described in the first two
sections of the plan. Goals must separately identify the proportion
of new, rehabilitated, and existing dwelling untis, and the sizes
r and types of dwelling units that need to be assisted, taking into
account the kinds of assistance best suited to the needs of lower
income persons in Huntington Beach.
There must be a one-year goal describing planned numbers of assisted
units. The year should coincide with the first year program
r described elsewhere in the Community ,Development Block Grant appli-
cation. To provide a longer term framework for the annual goal,
applicants are required to prepare the one-year goal within the
context of a three year planning period which coincides with the
three-year plan prescribed in the application.
r Goals for new, rehabilitated, and existing units must be consistent
with the findings ,regarding the availability of vacant existing
r -
r
units and of units suitable for rehabilitation. Goals should re-
flect the maximum feasible use of the existing housing stock in
accordance with generally know data, taking into consideration that
HUD priorities for use of the Section 8 Housing Assistance Program
emphasize the use of existing housing. The distribution of assis-
tance between new and rehabilitated units should be made taking into
consideration the objectives of: curtailment of housing deteriora-
tion; promotion of neighborhood stability; minimizing detrimental
environmental impact; avoidance of undue concentrations of low income
and minority group persons; and economic feasibility.
Goals for using Section 8 Lower Income Housing Assistance payment
must be consistent with the amount of such resources currently
available. Generally, it is reasonable to express the housing
assistance goals for one year as 10 - 20 percent of total need for
the remaining families. Once the goal has been determined in terms
of the number of units to be requested, the method of assistance
must be determined. Therefore, several alternative means for
achieving the housing assistance units goal are presented in the
following sections.
4. 1 Alternative #1: Goal Based on Timeliness and Feasibility
Alternative #1 reflects only those programs for providing housing
assistance to low and very low income families that can or should
be easily achievable. As a result, Alternative #1 contains the ,
following features:
4. 1. 1 Exclusive Use of Existing Housing Units .
All assisted housing, for all lower income groups would be
provided from existing and vacant housing. The unit types
could vary .from single family homes to efficiency apart-
ments. The major limitation will be that no more than
20 percent of any project participating in the program be
leased to lower income families.
4. 1. 2 Exclusive Utilization of the Section 8 Housing Assistance
Payments Program.
Under the leasing of existing housing portion of this
program the Orange County Housing Authority issues a
Certification of Family Participation to eligible families.
The holder of the Certificate of Family Participation may
then find an existing dwelling unit that meets its
family' s needs. The Housing Authority, property owner,
and eligible family then negotiate a one year lease and
the Housing Authority pays the property owner the differ-
ence between the family' s "ability to pay" rent and the
lawfully established fair market rent. Thirty percent of r
the families assisted under this program must quality as
very low income families .
!
4. 1. 3 No Environmental Impact Statements or Other Time Consuming
Approvals Would be Required.
!
The leasing of existing dwelling units would not consti
tute a project as defined by the California Environmental
Quality Act of 1970 and would therefore not be subject to
its regulations. Also, no zone changes , use permits,
variances , building permits or Coastal Commission approval
! would be required. The substantial savings in time as a
result of not having to obtain these approvals and or
obtain these permits eases significantly the implementation
process .
4. 1. 4 Only Minimal Active Participation and Staff Support by the
i the City Would be Required to Implement This Alternative.
The City has an agreement with the Orange County Housing
Authority for management of the Section 8 Housing Assist-
ance Payments Program. There are several advantages to
this arrangement for the City including:
(1) There are no major costs of establishing an operating
City department to manage the program;
(2) There is no substantial time period involved in
r "gearing up" ; and
(3) There are definite economies of scale when operating
an assisted housing program that can be better
achieved through the Orange County Housing Authority.
The City may wish to assist the Housing Authority by pro-
viding dwelling unit inspection services , eligibility
workers, or office space in order to increase accessibility
to these housing services.
4. 1. 5 Compliance with Expressed Goals and Emphasis of the
! Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 .
Literature concerning the provisions of housing for lower
income families through this Act indicates an emphasis
on the utilization of existing dwelling units and proposed
funding allocations stress the Section 8 Housing Assistance
Payments Program. These two factors will probably make it
easier for the City to obtain funds from the Section 8
Housing Assistance Payments Program than other programs
available under the Assisted Housing Section of the. Act.
4. 1. 6 Community Development Funds Necessary to Implement
Alternative.
There are two barriers to the implementation of this
alternative.
. As the number of recipients in the Section 8 Existing
Leased Housing Program increases , the number of units
available for rent at rates below the fair market rents
established by the federal government decreases. Since
the value of homes in Huntington Beach is relatively
high and the vacancy rate extremely low, the continued
reliance on existing housing stock in this city is
questionable.
,i
PURPOSE AMOUNT
• Provision of dwelling unit inspection $10, 000
partial support of eligibility workers,
rental of office space in the community,
or other activities necessary to support
the Orange County Housing Authority
management of Huntington Beach' s Section 8
Housing Assistance Payments Program.
TOTAL $10, 000
4. 2 Alternative #2 : Goal Based on Identified Needs
Alternative #2 reflects the level and types of housing assistance
that should be provided to lower income households if their needs
as previously stated are to be satisfied. Not all of the programs
that are included in this alternative are readily achievable. This
alternative represents the maximum effort that the City can
reasonably expect to put forth.
4. 2 . 1 Utilization of New, Existing, and Rehabilitated Housing
Units.
a
In addition to the maximum utilization of the available
existing dwelling units as mentioned in Alternative #1,
Alternative #2 provides for the use of newly constructed
and rehabilitated dwelling units.
4. 2 . 2 Utilization of the Section ,8 Housing Assistance Payments
Program, FHA Mortgage Insurance Programs, and Community
Development Monies to Supplement Other Rehabilitation
Programs and for the Preparation of Low Income Housing
Sites.
This effort involves the use of all the financial aids
available to the City of Huntington Beach. This includes
i
utilization of all Section 8 funds allocated to Huntington
Beach. Use of the Section 202 Elderly Housing, Section 235
f Home Ownership, Section 236 Multiple Family Housing, and
Section 312 Rehabilitation Loans available to Huntington
Beach through the Federal Housing Administration. Sponsors
and programs would have to be quickly found and formulated
if the City is to capture its share of the funds that will
be allocated to those programs. This alternative also
requires the expenditure of $81 ,250 . Community Development
monies to assist sponsors of new low income housing by
acquiring suitable sites , clearing if necessary, installing
all offsite improvements, and finally selling the prepared
site to the private or non profit sponsor at a reduced
cost. Community Development funds will also be necessary
to establish a revolving loan fund for home improvement
loans for home improvement loans for low income families
now owning substandard or deterioriating homes, but who are
unable to obtain market rate loans for the necessary
repairs.
All of these approaches are necessary if the City is to
start providing low income housing on the scale that is
necessary to meet the level of need identified.
4. 2. 3 Environmental Impact Statements and Other Time-Consuming
Approvals Would be Required.
Any new construction of low income housing units would
almost certainly require an Environmental Impact Statement.
Also required would be City building permits, possibly
zone changes, and Coastal Commission approval. Even with
cooperation from all of the involved departments and
agencies, the time required by law severely shortens the
time available to complete a new construction project.
Rehabilitation programs and the use of existing housing
for low income housing would probably not require any of
these.
4. 2. 4 Maximum Active Participation and Staff Support Would
be Required to Implement this Alternative.
Even though the Orange County Housing Authority manages
the Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program, the
City will still have to provide staff support for manage-
ment of the rehabilitation ,loan program and to locate
sponsors that are willing and able to develop a new low
income housing project. In addition to at least one
staff member acting in the above capacity, the City will
also need to provide support by preparing any necessary
Environmental Impact Reports, aid in project packaging
and management, and assist the project sponsors in
obtaining the necessary FHA project approvals. There
65
will be costs of establishing and operating a City depart-
ment to manage the program. There will be a substantial ,
time period involved in "gearing up. " The City may wish
to assist the Housing Authority by providing dwelling
unit inspection services, eligibility workers, or office
space, in order to increase accessibility to these housing
services.
4. 2. 5 This Alternative Does Not Fully Comply With the Expressed
Goals and Emphasis that has been Indicated for the Housing
and Community Development Act of 1974 .
Literature concerning the provision of housing for lower
income families through this Act indicates an emphasis
on the utilization of existing dwelling units. However,
(as explained in Alternative #1 above) , the housing supply
may not permit continued reliance on existing housing
stock in Huntington Beach.'
4. 2. 6 Community Development Funds Necessary to Implement
Alternative
PURPOSE AMOUNT
Provision of dwelling unit inspection, $10 , 000
partial support of eligibility workers,
rental of office space in the community,
or other activities necessary to support
the Orange County Authority management of
Huntington Beach' s Section 8 Housing
Assistance Payments Program.
• Funding of staff that will be necessary $23, 000
to administer rehabilitation program,
locate sponsors for assisted housing
under available FHA programs, and provide
assistance to low income housing developers
and residents in project packaging and
management.
. Acquisition of sites suitable for low $250, 000
income housing projects (approximately
100 dwelling units) .
. Clearance of and provision of all necessary $86,250
offsite improvements for sites acquired for
low income elderly and handicapped housing
for resale to private or non-profit housing
sponsors.
W.- KNX
PURPOSE AMOUNT
Establishment of loan program for home $100 , 000

owning substandard homes but unable to
obtain market rate loans for the necessary
repairs.

TOTAL $481, 250
4. 3 Alternative #3 : Goal Based on Balancing of Identified
Need, Timeliness and Feasibility
Alternative #3 is essentially a combination of Alternatives #1 and
#2. In this alternative, the difficulties of developing a program
to satisfy the identified needs as expressed in Alternative #2 are
recognized. Therefore, greater emphasis is made of the more exped-
ient mechanisms. Alternative #3 contains the following features :
4. 3. 1 Utilization of Existing Housing Units and New Units.
Existing units (as described in Alternative #1) are still
to be used in this alternative. However, a reasonable
number of new units would be constructed for the elderly
because of their special needs.
4. 3 . 2 Use of Section 8 New Construction Housing Assistance Pay-
ments PrograM or Section 202 FHA Elderly Housing Program.
Use of existing units will be made through the leasing
provision of Section 8 as described in Alternative #1.
New housing for the elderly can be developed by non-profit,
limited profit, cooperative, and public agency sponsors
with direct loans by the federal government at the going
federal rate of interest (Section 202) and support from
Section 8 .
4 . 3. 3 Environmental Documents Needed.
Building permits, environmental documents, and other
possible land use considerations must be made for the .new
units. If the new elderly housing units are developed in
the Old Downtown area, the Coastal Commission may become
involved. However, some of the units will be under the
Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program and will not
required any time-consuming approvals.
AM16
`i n
4. 3 . 4 Some Direct Action and Staff Support Would be Required to
Implement This Alternative. ,
The Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program could be
handled as described in Alternative #1. The new units
must have sponsors, public or private. If the City chooses
the Alternative #3 goals , some effort may have to be made
to induce some organization to become a sponsor.
4. 3 . 5 Compliance with Expressed Intent of the Housing and
Community Development Act of 1974.
The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974
emphasizes the use of existing housing. However, as in .
the case of Huntington Beach, rents on existing units are
generally higher than fair market rents allowed HUD for
rental subsidies and vacancy rates are low. Therefore,
new construction is a reasonable solution to the housing
problems.
4.3 . 6 Community Development Funds Necessary to Implement
Alternative.
PURPOSE AMOUNT
Provision of dwelling unit inspection, $10, 000

5. 0 RECOMMENDATIONS
i The purpose of the preliminary Housing Assistance Plan is to
clearly delineate the extent and nature of the housing problems
in Huntington Beach. It is also the purpose of this study to
present possible solutions that meet the housing needs of at least
a portion of the lower income families in the City. Since little
money has been previously available for remedial programs when
r compared with the need, it is necessary to obtain direction from
citizens and- City Council on priorities and levels of commitment to
assisted housing.
Unfortunately not all of the alternative goals presented in Section
4. 0 are easily achievable. Indeed without substantial commitment,
1 philisophically and financially, from the City, some of the specific
projects included in the various alternatives may not be implement-
able.
A commitment is necessary to being meeting the housing assistance
needs of low income families. Unfortunately there is an extreme
shortage of time for developing and implementing some of the projects
suggested as well as unavailable information on the long term impacts
f
69
of any City actions in this area. Consequently, the Housing and
Community Development Citizens Advisory Committee feels that the
best approach to housing assistance this year is to maintain the
flexibility encouraged in the 1976 HAP and continue the use of the
Housing Assistance Payments Program. Beyond this, however, we
believe it is time to venture into more sophisticated housing
assistance on a limited scale . Therefore, the Housing and Community
Development Citizens Advisory Committee recommends as follows:
A
1. That Alternative #2 : Goal Based on Balancing of Identified Need,
Timeliness and Feasibility be approved as the City' s 1977 goal
for assisted housing.
Alternative #2 contains the following features:
a. Continued, but declining, emphasis on the use of existing
housing.
b. Construction of new units for senior citizens and the
disabled through Section 8 or other assistance programs .
c. Acquisition of a site for new units for senior citizens.
d. Management of the assisted housing program by the Orange
County Housing Authority.
e. Initial funding of a Rehabilitation Program.
2 . That the allocation of units be as follows (see Table 3-6)
a. Elderly and disabled goal for 1977 is 325 units.
b. Large family goal for 1977 is 175 units .
C. All remaining families ' goal for 1977 is 450 units .
3. That the three year goal for housing assistance reflects the
goals set forth in Alternative #2 and include the fair share �
allocations as delineated by S.C.A.G. Allocation of units would
be as follows :
a. Elderly and disabled three year goal is 475 units.
b. Large family three year goal is 440 units.
C. All remaining families three year goal is 1070 units.

6 . 0 LOCATION OF ASSISTED HOUSING UNITS
As mentioned earlier, the housing assistance plan must indicate the
general locations of proposed housing for lower income persons.
These locations must be selected with the objective of :
furthering community revitalization,
6
. promoting increased housing choices for lower income
persons and avoiding undue concentrations of assisted
housing;
. assuring the availability of public facilities and
r services adequate to serve proposed housing projects.
Figure 3-1 displays the census tracts deemed most appropriate for the
location of assisted housing units and community development projects.
The following Figures 3-2 through 3-6 display the factors considered
in making this selection including : percentage of lower income
households, percentage of minority households vacancy rates, income
of elderly households, concentration of handicapped persons, concen-
tration of very low income families.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
1. 0 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
r
The Housing and Community Development Program is funded by the
Federal Government under authority of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974 . In Huntington Beach several objectives
have been delineated. These objectives determine what specific
projects will be funded by the City' s� $1.244 million allocation. 7'he
r environmental assessment, therefore, will. deal with the objectives
and the environmental impacts likely to' ,be produced thereby. The
objectives of the program are as follows:
Revitalization of the Downtown Area (Initial Activities) -
Subsequent to the adoption of plan for the old Downtown Area
a series of City initiated actions will be necessary to implement
the plan. These actions will probably include (dependent upon
the adopted plan) : Upgrading of existing, or construction of new
public facilities, new zoning regulations, code enforcement
programs and cooperative efforts between public and private sector
interests to foster revitalization.
AMX I J
FIP
r
81
Projects to Upgrade Neighborhoods with Indications of Blight
and Deterioration - Upgrading program for critical neighborhoods
could include: ,
a. Community analysis by Planning Department to identify
blighted and deficient neighborhoods and remedial programs.
b. Revamp of zoning ordinance to simplify, codify and streamline
requirements and particularly, processes.
c. Housing code enforcement.
d. Underwrite, partially or wholly, off-site public improvements
in deficient neighborhoods.
e. Develop and provide programs in home management, maintenance,
budgeting, etc.
. Improvement of Critical Flood Control and Drainage Facilities -
Improvement of drainage facilities including upgrading of
existing facilities and new construction to bring deficient areas !
to citywide standards .
• Improvement of Critical Water Facilities - Replacement of outdated
or worn out water facilities in older portions of Huntington
Beach to bring water service up to citywide standards.
. Improvement of Street Lighting Facilities in Critical Areas -
Upgrading or new construction of street lighting in areas below
the citywide standards.
. Provision of Public Facilities in Key Commercial and Industrial
Areas - Public assistance in the development of key commercial
and industrial areas by providing, in whole or in part, certain
public facilities such as arterial street improvements, utilities,
and other necessary facilities.
. Provisions of Facilities and Necessary Related Services to the ,
Elderly and Handicapped - Development of a senior citizens and
Community Service Center to provide services not otherwise
available to elderly and handicapped persons as well as others
in need of such services .
. Park and Recreation Facilities in Critical Neighborhoods
Acquisition and development of park and recreation facilities
in key neighborhoods presently deficient in parks and recreation
service .
• Housing Assistance - Housing aid to lower income families through
rental subsidies, rehabilitation and new construction as appro-
priate .

f
2 . 0 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING AND IMPACT
The proposed program is located in the City of Huntington Beach,
which is a metropolitan area in a metropolitan county. As a result
the local and regional environments are primarily urban in character.
A comparative analysis between the program and existing and/or
anticipated land uses indicate little environmental impact. In
fact, the program has somewhat of a positive impact
1 . Land Use/Demography Impacts
Generally the program has no such impacts except some obvious•
positive impacts such as the revitalization of the Downtown
and the upgrading of deteriorating neighborhoods. To some
extent the development of park facilities and senior citizen
service centers positively impact land use .
2 . Topography and Geology
The program has no significant impact on topography and geology
r except to the extent that park facilities will improve and
preserve the natural land form.
83
3. Water Resources
The program area is located within the Santa Ana River watershed
and much of the program area is subject to a regional flood
hazard. Consideration for flood hazards will have to be considered
for specific programs . However, the program itself has no signi-
ficant environmental affect on water resources except to the
extent that certain portions of the program are likely to improve
the stability of the water table.
4-. Air Resources
The City of Huntington Beach is located within the South Coast
Air Basin. Like other coastal cities, Huntington Beach exper-
iences considerably less air pollution than inland cities . The
daily sea breezes along the coast clear the skies by sweeping
pollutants inland. However, the impact of the program on air
quality will not be significant regardless of program location.
5 . Biological Resources
No significant affect on natural vegetation and wildlife species /
is expected. Park facilities should have a positive impact for
some wildife species.
6 . Human Interest Resources
Archaeological sites exist within the program area and have been
located for the most part. Each specific project must be
evaluated as to its possible effects on human interest resources,
however, no significant impacts are expected.
7 . Municipal Services and Utilities
The program is likely to increase use of electricity which is
an unavoidable negative impact which can be mitigated to the
extent that technology and conservation can help. Generally,
some utilities are negatively and positively affected by the
. program. However, the overall effect except for electricity
is somewhat positive.
8 . Economics
The program has positive and negative affects on the economic,
position of the city and schools . However, the overall all
affect is rather neutral, neither a gain nor a loss.
9 . Traffic Circulation
Circulation will be physically improved by several sections of
the program. On the whole, circulation will be positively
impacted by the program.
10. Acoustical Quality
The program has no significant impact on noise levels.

Comments:
1. Citizen Participation
The citizen participation process is progressing well. Letters to
advise civic groups of the Third Year Application process were sent
to 31 organizations. Presentations to explain the HCD program and
solicit citizen participation and support have been made by the
Planning Department to 10 such organizations. Phone contact has
been made with organizations not responding to the letter to en-
courage them to schedule the presentation at one of their future
meetings.
In addition, the HCD opinion survey has been conducted. The survey
sampled 300 low and moderate income families in Huntington Beach
to tap their views on Housing and Community Development- issues.
Also, press releases regarding both the HCD Third Year Application
and the HCD Opinion Survey have been published in all local papers
and the Los Angeles Times. An attempt will also be made to encourage
local radio stations to announce the City° s Plans for the Third
Year HCD program.
2. Assistance to Orange County Housing Authority:
This project funds the annual agreement with OCHA (signed in December
1975) to provide a Tenant Relations Officer to administer the
Section 8 leased housing assistance program in the City of Huntington
Beach.
To date, the OCHA has under lease, 224 of the 335 Section 8 assisted
units allocated to the City. This represents such significant progress
that HUD made an additional allocation of 800 Section 8 units for
Orange County. Of these, 105 were allocated to Huntington Beach
(60 percent for elderly, 40 percent for families) . The Housing
Authority has made sincere efforts to improve their already high
level of service to residents of Huntington Beach, have been co-
operative, and responsive to the desires of the City.
3. Community Analysis:
Until recently, the City had no staff to deal comprehensively with
the HCD program and because of this, the start of this project has
been delayed. It was hoped that University of California at Irvine
interns could be recruited to conduct the field work necessary for
the project. Unfortunately, no interns were available for this
project this quarter. However, the Planning Department is investi-
gating other means of staffing this project (consultant assistance) .
However, this will require a bid procedure and further delay the
start of the project. Preliminary investigations indicate that once
begun, the project could be completed in 2-6 months. It is hoped that
this project will be completed by July, 1977.

4. Upgrade Substandard Water Facilities:
This project funded the replacement and upgrading of the water
supply system in selected portions of the Oldtown Area. No
problems were encountered in the implementation of this project
and it was completed in April, 1976.
5. Redevelopment Studies:
Three public hearings on the Proposed Redevelopment Plan were held
before the City Council in 1976, but no Plan was adopted. Since
new redevelopment legislation became law on January 1, 1977 in
the State of California, a revised Redevelopment Plan will be
prepared ,and a new series of public hearings will be held. This
will delay the opportunity to adopt a Plan until July, 1977.
6. Wheel Chair Ramps Installation Phase I:
This project funded the constructed of approximately 150 curb
cuts throughout the City to improve handicapped mobility. The
project was completed through a $29, 000 public works contract
on October 1, 1976. However, $2, 000 was withheld from the con-
tractor pending investigation of alleged violations of HUD regu-
lations governing payroll procedures.
7. Improvements to the Senior Citizens Center:
This project funded the purchase of recreation equipment and a
van for the Senior Citizen Recreation Center. Funds in the amount
of $9, 500 were transferred to this account from the redevelopment
studies as part of the previously processed Community Development
Program amendment and the project was completed in February, 1976.
8a. Oldtown Park:
The bids for an independent appraisal of Cal Trans property were
approved by the City Council on September 7, 1976 . This appraisal
was completed the week of October 18, 1976. The Department of
Parks and Recreation is renegotiating with Cal Trans for acquisition
of the Community Center site, however, the asking price still far
exceeds the amount budgeted and the Council reprogrammed these funds
to new projects as part of the City' s third year HCD program.
8b. Oakview Community Center:
The initial construction bids for this project were rejected in
July, 1976. Second bids were rejected by the City Council on
August 9, 1976. Bids readvertised on August 11, 1976 and opened
August 30, 1976; City Council then awarded a contract on September
7, 1976 to Robert C. Stellrecht for $63, 685. 00. The trailer previously
used for the Community Center has been relocated on the site, con-
struction has begun and the 120 day construction period begain in
late October.
An additional $13, 685 has been transferred to this project account
from the wheelchair ramp project 'and this will fully fund the imple-
mentation of this project.
9. Facilities & Programs for the Handicapped:
These funds are allocated to pay a share of the cost of a pool and
swim complex with facilities for the handicapped. The tentative
determination is to site this facility at the Ocean View High School
site with the Huntington Beach Union High School District contributing
the land and maintenance.
An ad hoc committee of Council members, Huntington Beach Union High
School District representatives, a Parks and Recreation Commissioner,
representatives of City Administration and Parks and Recreation Depart-4
ment has been formed to discuss the provision of mutual recreational:
facilities. The first meeting of this committee was on Thursday,
October 21, 1976. Problems have been encountered in acquiring the
necessary additional funds__to construct this facility=and
,the City Council reprogrammed these funds to third year HCD projects. a
10. Community Center/Boy' s Club at Bushard:
This project is to fund the construction of a new community center
(to be administered by the Boy' s Club) and originally intended to
be located at the Bushard/Oka school site. The facility would pro- 4
vide on-site offices for local social service organizations, a
library, community room, and a variety of recreation programs and
facilities for local residents.
This project was originally slated to be built on the Bushard/Oka
School. However, a detailed soils report was conducted in September,
1976 , that revealed a concentration of peat soils on the site that
would require elaborate foundations costing over $1 million. Since
the community center was to be administered by the Boy' s Club of
Huntington Beach, the club has suggested that the facility be
constructed on their existing site on Yorktown Avenue. However, M
the greatest concentration of people desirous of the services to be
provided by the Community Center reside in the Bushard Area. There-
fore, it is now planned to provide a facility in a modular building
on the original site and for a total cost of approximately _$.-305 , 000 .
These unforeseen problems have delayed this project, however, it is
expected to be completed late in 1977 . .
11. Facilities and Programs for the Handicapped:
See Project #9.
12 . Assistance to Orange County Housing Authority: ,
This project was to fund the extension of the agreement with the
Housing Authority for the provision of a full-time Tenant Relations
Officer in Huntington Beach. On December 6 , 1976 , the City Council
decided not to renew that agreement for calendar year 1977 . These
funds were reprogrammed to other community development projects
as part of the City' s third year HCD program.
13. Improvements to the Senior Citizens Center:
These funds are intended to finance the construction of recreation
facilities and parking at the Senior Citizens Center. Plans have
been approved (after some delay) by the Senior Center and the
City Council and are being drawn by a contract agency. Once com-
pleted, the plans and specifications will be put out to bid. It
is hoped that this project will be completed by December, 1977.
14. Old Town Storm Drain:
These funds are matched by County monies and supplemented by
drainage fees to construct a flood control project to alleviate
ponding problems in the Old Town area.
Notice of a finding of no significant effect on the environment
was published for this Project on May 20 , 1976. A Notice of
Intention to Request Release of Funds was published on August 12,
1976 and submitted to HUD on August 17, 1976. Funds were released
by HUD on September 8, 1976. The City Council awarded a contract
for construction on September 13, 1976, and construction is now
underway. The location of private oil pipelines within the
public right-of-way may cause- some delay, however, the project is
expected to be completed in ril 1977.
15. Human Resources Day Care Center:
The funds requested for this project proved insufficient for
implementation due to unexpectedly high liability insurance
premiums. Therefore, on October 26, 1976, the City Council re-
programmed these funds to an additional project to increase handi-
capped mobility. The City is now working with the Mayor' s Handi-
capped Advisory Committee to determine what type of project will
most benefit the City' s handicapped residents. This project could
be complete by January, 1978.
16. Redevelopment Studies:
See Project #5.

SHORT TERM OBJECTIVES
C-1 Revitalization of the Downtown Area
(Initial Activities)
1
During the second program year three public hearings were held to
receive public comment on the Proposed Downtown Redevelopment Plan.
However, no redevelopment plan has yet been adopted and as of
January 1, 1977 new redevelopment legislation became law. This will
require the City to comply with a new procedure for the preparation and
1 adoption of a redevelopment plan and will delay adoption approximately
until June 1977 .
Therefore, although the previously prepared plan will not be adoptable,
valuable citizen input was gained through the public hearing process
and this will be reflected in the revised plan.
1
Projects 5, and 16 contribute to this objective.
C-2 Provision of Community Services and Necessary Related Facilities
to All Residents
1
Considerable progress was made towards this objective during the Program
Year. Specifically, plans for improvements to the Senior Citizens
Center were finalized and will provide additional recreation opportunities
for the approximately 4 , 000 low and moderate income senior citizens
that visit the Center each month; the OakView Center is under construction
1 and will serve the community and social service needs of residents in an
area identified as having a major concentration of low and moderate
income and minority households; and plans are also in preparation for a
similar center in the Bushard area which has a similar concentration
of low and moderate income and minority households .
1 Projects 8b, 10, and 13 contribute to this objective.
C-3 Projects to Upgrade Neighborhoods with Indications of Blight and
Deterioration.
1 Problems in securing staff to carry out the Community Analysis Project
have been encountered, but the cost and availability of consultant
assistance is being investigated.
As yet the City has funded only Project 3 that would contribute directly
to this objective.

C-4 Improvement of Critical Flood Control and Drainage Facilities
The OldTown Storm Drain is under construction and this will significantly
reduce a serious' ponding problem--in this area.
Project 14 contributes directly to this' objec.tive-.
C-5 Improvement of Critical Water Facilities _
The replacement of the domestic water supply system in the Townlot
area was completed in the previous program year and has contributed
greatly to this objective.
Project 4 contributes to this objective.
C-6 Improvement of Street Lighting Facilities
None of the projects funded thus far are intended to achieve this objective.
C-7 Provision of Public Facilities in Key Commercial and Industrial Areas
Public assistance in the development of key commercial and industrial
areas by providing, in whole or in part, certain public facilities such as
arterial street improvements , utilities, and other necessary facilities
may be required.
None of the projects funded thus far are intended to achieve this objective.
C-8 Provisions of Facilities and Necessary Related Services to the
Elderly and Handicapped
Development of a Senior Citizens and Community Service Center to provide
services not otherwise available to elderly and handicapped persons as
well as others in need of such services is desired.
Seven projects funded by the first and second year entitlement are intended
to achieve this objective. They are as follows: .
2. Assistance to the Orange County Housing Authority
6. Wheelchair Ramp Installation Phase I
7. Improvements to the Senior Citizens. Center .
9. Facilities and Programs for the Handicapped
11. Facilities and Programs for the Handicapped

These projects are in various stages and, when complete, they will all
contribute to the achievement of this objective. The assistance to the
Orange County Housing Authority provided tenant relations officer for
the City' s assisted housing program.
The wheelchair ramp project has been completed and now insures better
pedestrian circulation for handicapped persons. They are located at
intersections in areas of the City where there are concentrations of
handicapped persons.
The Senior Citizen projects are providing a pool table for the existing
Senior Citizen Recreation Center, renovating the elderly feeding program
facility to accommodate additional low income seniors, a van has been
purchased to provide transportation to and from these facilities as well
as medical facilities in the area for low income seniors, and finally,
outdoor recreation facilities will be provided by the funds allocated
from the second year entitlement.
Equipment acquisition and the renovation is completed. No problems
were encountered. These facilities and equipment will increase recreational
opportunities for seniors and provide additional needed services.
The facilities for the handicapped will provide a therapeutic swimming
facility for handicapped persons that is not now available anywhere
in the City.
C-9 Park and Recreation Facilities in Critical Neighborhoods
This objective would include acquisition and development of park and
recreation facilities in key neighborhoods presently deficient in parks
and recreation service.
Under the project listed as "Community Center or Park for Depressed
Areas : Oakview and/or OldTown" , two neighborhood recreation facilities
are to be provided. The first is the improvement of a park site at the
corner of Florida Street and Utica Avenue. The second activity is the
provision of a recreation center located at the Oakview Elementary.
School property oar Oak Lane. Both activities are located in areas of
Huntington Beach with high concentrations of low and moderate income
families.
These two activities will provide facilities that are not presently
available in these neighborhoods. The community center project will
provide a place where both youth and adult recreational activities
and social services can be provided. The park improvements _
in the Oldtown area will provide an actively used recreational area for
children and adults who reside in this neighborhood. The facilities
should help to alleviate existing problems of crime, loitering and lack' ,
of recreational areas.
The Oakview Center is now under construction, however, independent
appraisals of the CalTrans land intended for acquisition in the Oldtown
Area have been necessary to reconcile differing opinions on the market
value of the future park site .

NARRATIVE REPORT
1. Steps to Meet HAP Goals :
The City of Huntington Beach HAP goals utilize both existing units
and new construction. The administration of the HAP existing
program, by agreement, is the responsibility of the Orange County
Housing Authority. No financial commitment has yet been received
for Section 8 New Construction Units.
2 . Steps Taken to Improve Ability to Meet HAP Goals :
The City of Huntington Beach has funded a Tenant Relations Officer
to work under the auspices of the Orange County Housing Authority
and work exclusively in Huntington Beach for calendar year 1976.
The City also received a pre-selected site designation for Section 8
New Construction Units. "!
3. Problems Encountered:
Fair market rents were too low until HUD raised them. Too much
emphasis was placed on the elderly in the first year, therefore, 7
the second year application places less emphasis on the elderly.
The existing unit program has worked well in the City, however,
the agreement with Orange County Housing Authority for a full-time
tenant relations officer came under criticism by two civic groups
within the City and the City Council acted to not renew the
agreement for calendar year 1977 .

2. For each program area (e.g. , parks, public works, water and sewer) in
which there are activities funded by CD Block Grants, summarize on a
separate sheet of paper: !
(a) the steps that have been taken to identify low- and moderate-income
minority needs as they may be greater than those of the low- and
moderate-income population in general , and
(b) the actions that have been taken to correct conditions which may
have limited minority participation or benefits in the past.
For example, if CDBG funds are used for the development of neighborhood
parks and playgrounds, the recipient shall summarize the steps that
have been taken to identify the extent to which minority households
have access to parks/playgroun.as compared to non-minority households
(comparing persons per acre, extent and condition of facilities ,
etc. ) and if disparities are found, a summary of the efforts underway
to correct these conditions and assure equal opportunity for minorities
to enjoy the benefits of that program area.
3. On a separate sheet of paper, list and very briefly summarize each study
funded under Section 570.200 (a)(12) . For each study; (1 ) describe how the !
activities under consideration relate to the provision of equal opportunities
in the delivery of facilities and services for minorities and women, , (2)
describe any actions recommended to correct effects of conditions which may
have resulted in limited opportunities for minorities or women in the subject
area and, (3) describe actions needed to assure equal opportunity in the
future.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
2 (a) Steps taken to identify low and moderate income minority needs
Parks and Community Centers :
An analysis of the provision of park and recreation facilities
(persons per acre) indicated that those census tracts with the
highest concentration of low income minorities had a higher
ratio of persons per acre of park. Therefore, the City allocated
$100, 000 for recreation facilities in these areas from 1st year
entitlement funds and $109, 000 from second year. While these improve
ments , Oldtown Park Development Oakview Community Center, and
Bushard Community Center, will not completely rectify this
situation , it does constitute a significant effort. The existing
facilities have a high level of minority children usage. The
area residents have participated in the design of the facilities
and it is anticipated that they will continue to use the new
facilities.
Public Works:
i
Programs funded under this heading are primarily directed
towards facilities for the handicapped and elderly, elimination
of flooding, and street tree problems. No special analysis
of minority participation has been conducted.
Water and Sewer Facilities :
The Townlot water project is in a census tract with low income
residents. These residents, however, are primarily elderly.
There is not a significat concentration of minority residents in
the project area. The major emphasis of this project was the
replacement of substandard water facilities.
Assistance to Orange County Housing Authority:
The Tenant Relations Officer assigned to the City is a minority
member and the Housing Authority is an equal opportunity
employer. The Tenant Relations Officer has greatly assisted
the provision of equal opportunity for housing assistance to
all members of the community.
r 3 Community Analysis Project: This activity will identify areas
of the City that are deteriorating or blighted. It will also
identify remedial activities that are necessary for the
alleviation of the identified problems. Although the specific
number of minorities and women that will be affected has not
been determined, census data and previous area analysis generally
FORM 4081 (1-76)
ATTACHMENT
EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
indicate a correspondence between deteriorating neighborhood
conditions and low income families . The remedial programs to
be developed will be designed to provide equal opportunity in
the delivery of services to minorities and women.
The preliminary redevelopment studies will also provide additional
information regarding equal opportunity and will help the City
devise strategies to help assure equal opportunity for minorities
and women.

V-B. Fair Housing (24 CFR 570.900(c)(2))
1 . By executing the Certificate of Assurance for Title VIII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1968, the recipient has agreed to-administer
its programs relating to housing and urban development in a man-
ner to affirmatively further fair housing. (Activities under
this category need not be limited to those funded under CD Block
Grants. ) Listed below are areas of particular concern in which
specific actions can be taken to provide for greater housing
opportunities throughout the locality for minorities and women.
For the areas of concern listed below:
a. Check those in which studies or actions have been undertaken
during the program year.
b. On a separate sheet of paper, summarize the specific study
or activity and briefly describe the results and recommenda-
tions of the study or the effects of the action.
As an example, a locality might examine the pattern of multi-family
zoning to determine its effect on minorities. The recipient would
check "zoning", and note on the separate sheet that a study was
undertaken to determine the effects of current multi-family zoning
on minorities. The results of the study could be summarized , for
example, "the pattern of zoning tends to further the concentration
of minorities in the locality because the bulk of the multi-
family zoning is in, or adjacent to, minority communities,. rather
than located throughout_ the locality. " If the study recommends
actions, such as dispersing multi-family housing, these recommenda-
tions must be summarized.

a Downtown Redevelopment Plan, a review of the existing and future
housing situation in the downtown area was conducted. When adopted,
the Redevelopment Plan will show areas for the construction of multi-
family housing and by California State Redevelopment Law, a share of
the tax increment revenue will be. allocated to the provision of
low- and moderate- income housing.

Assure Minority Participation in Assisted Housing
Assistance to Orange County Housing Authority: For calendary year 1976
the City contracted with the OCHA for a full-time tenant relations
officer. The tenant relations officer has helped assure that all members
of the community have fair and equal access to the housing assistance
program.

CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
B. 1. At the beginning of the application for Second Year Housing
and Community Development Block Grants , the City publicized
the fact that a Citizens Advisory Committee will be appointed
by the City Council to assist in the preparation of the ap-
plication. Subsequent to the Committee' s formation, the
public was encouraged to attend the Citizen Advisory Committee
meetings and given an opportunity to express their views on
the Community Development Program. At these meetings, the
committee members and the public alike were made aware of
environmental, equal opportunity, and relocation aspects of
the program.
B. 2. Besides the public hearings before the Planning Commission and
the City Council, the City also conducted a series of meetings
with the Citizens Advisory Committee, and Human Resources
Council. These meetings were for the purpose of generating
a broader understanding of the Housing and Community Development
Block Grant legislation and to encourage broader citizen
participation.
B. 3. In the preparation of the Third Year Housing and Community
Development Block Grant Application, 31 local civic organizations
were contacted to advise them of the Housing and Community
Development Program and to encourage them to allow a staff
member to make presentations about the program at one of their
regularly scheduled meetings. In addition, the Citizens
Advisory Committee for the Third Year Program was expanded
to include not only representatives of local civic organizations ,
but citizens at large as well. The Citizens Advisory Committee
also met six times during the preparation of the Third Year
Application whereas they met only twice during the preparation
of Second Year Application.
C. l. After the Citizens Advisory Committee completed their review
of the Community Development Program, Housing Assistance
Program, they made recommendations on the Community Develop-
ment Budget, a public hearing was held before the Planning
Commission, and two additional public hearings were held
before the City Council.
C. 2. The purpose of the Planning Commission public hearing was
to allow the Commission to review the recommendations of
the Citizens Advisory Committee and hear the comments on
the draft Housing and Community Development Block Grant
Application.
The first City Council public hearing was intended to provide
a forum for public comments on the draft application. The
second City Council public hearing afforded the Council the
opportunity to consider the Citizens Advisory Committee' s
recommendations, Planning Commission review, and all public
input before approving the final application.
C. 3. With the exception of increased participation by the public
through the Citizens Advisory Committee, there are no plans
to significantly alter the public hearing process with future
grant applications.
D. To date the City of Huntington Beach has made only minor
adjustments to past years' Community Development Programs.
Each of these amendments has constituted less than 10 percent
of any years' entitlement. Therefore, no HUD review of these
amendments has been necessary, however, each of these amend-
ments has been approved by the City Council ,at a public
meeting in an effort to allow the community at large to
be aware of and have the opportunity to comment on Community
Development Program amendments.
E. Through the publication of the environmental review documents
the public was made aware that the Second Year Housing and
Community Development Block Grant Application was available
for distribution.
F. As a direct result of citizen participation through the Citizens
r Advisory Committee, and public hearings before the Planning
Commission and City Council, the Housing Assistance Plan was
amended to include a goal of 185 Section 8 new construction
housing units for the elderly. Senior Citizens also expressed
their desire for improvements to the Senior Citizens Recreation
Center and $50, 000 was included in the Second Year Community
r Development Budget to finance these improvements. This open
citizen participation was a significant element in the outcome
of the Second Year Housing and Community Development Program.
