Councilman Parry and excused due to a physical <}"f At the City Council meeting of October 23, 1979 presentations were submitted by two reputable organizations in the development of housing for the elderly. Staff was asked at that time to prepare a report and the Planning Director explained that the City has currently a Housing Element but the State Guidelines have been amended and before a Housing Assistance Plan can be developed the City must have a General Plan Housing Element consistent with those Guidelines. It was noted that the Housing Element must be responsive to the housing needs of a fair share of those households which do not live in the locality but whose housing opportunities would be affected by the planning decisions of the locality. The Guidelines authorize the Department of Housing and Community Development to review local housing elements for conformity with the Guidelines and the adequacy of the Element. It has been determined that Arcadia should be providing 3000 low and moderate income housing units as its share of the larger community need. Council reviewed the recommended actions to implement the Housing Element for the City of Monterey Park and the economic factors were discussed, It was agreed that Arcadia ~ould not want to be as involved as Monterey Park in order to receive block grant funding from HUD. Discussion held on the possibility of the City purchasing an apart- ment complex, increasing the number of units by reduction in the size of the apartments " the housing element could be pursued without commitment. Staff said it would be best to employ someone with exper- tise in this area. The City does have a Housing Element and Housing Assistance Plan but it is inconclusive as to whether or not a private developer could use these two and convince HUD that they are adequate. Some discussion held on going to revenue bonds to construct the units and the need of going to the electorate for approval - regardless of where located - in the redevelopment area or elsewhere .. in this way the City would not have to look to HUD for funding. It was the consensus of Council that a need for senior citizen housing is apparent but first it should be determined if a private developer could move with the existing Housing Element and Housing Assistance Plan; also a recommention on the site. It was then MOVED by Councilman Parry, seconded by Councilman Gilb and carried on roll call vote as follows that staff contact Thomas Safran of SWOGO Associates and pro- pound to him the concerns of Council and that a meeting be scheduled. with him for January 15, 1980 at 5 p.m. (If this date is not convenient staff will so advise on December 18.)
