ROSE MIX CITY CLERK � � , - - �G-�r l�� 2`�� COMMUNITY DEVELOPMEPJT PROGRAM YEAR V JUNE 1979 THROUGH MAY 1980 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOR CAPITAL ALLOCATIONS REDEVELOPMENT PLAN PROGRAM FOR IMPLEMENTATION RELOCATION PLAN PROJECT ELIGIBILITY REPORT � � 7 ' GOALS AND OB�ECTIVES FOR CAPITAL ALLOCATIONS GOALS The City of St. Paul has two broad goals that act as the keystone for many of St. Paul's activities, including its capital expenditures, which have been adopted by the City Council and identified by the Mayor as major objectives of his administration. They are: 1. To strengthen the City's neighborhoods in order to make them better places to live; and 2. To strengthen the City's economic base in order to provide jobs and services needed by residents of the City. Because capital improvement funds are limited and needs are great, the goals are supplemented by three principles which relate specifically to capital allocations: 1. Critical needs which affect the basic protection of life, health, or public safety take precedence over all other capital expenditures; 2. Capital expenditures should be channeled to those areas where there is the greatest opportunity for stimulating private reinvestment and effecting measurable neighbor- hood or economic improvements; 3. Some capital funds should be made available to prevent deterioration and blight in sound areas of the City and to meet t�e need for improvements which benefit the City as a whole. OBJECTIVES The primary objective of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 was the development of viable urban communities, including decent housing and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income. To accomplish this objective, the Act provided assistance for activities directed toward meeting the following objectives: 1. The elimination of slums and blight, the prevention of blighting influences, and the deterioration of property and neighborhood and community facilities of importance to the welfare of the community--principally persons of low and moderate income; 7 T 2. The elimination of conditions which are detrimental to health, safety, and public welfare through code enforcement, demolition, interim rehabilitation assistance, and related activities; 3. The conservation and expansion of the nation's housing stock in order to provide a decent home and a suitable living environment for all persons, but principally those of low and moderate income; 4. The expansion and improvement of the quantity and quality of community services, principally for persons of low and moderate income, which are essential for sound community development and for the development of viable urban communities; 5. A more rational utilization of land and other natural resources and the better arrangement of residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, and other needed activity centers 6. The reduction of the isolation of income groups within communities and geographical areas, and the promotion of an increase in the diversity and vitality of neighborhoods through the spatial deconcentration of housing opportunities for persons o# lower income and the revitalization of deteriorating or deteriorated neighborhoods to attract persons of higher income; and 7. The restoration and preservation of properties of special value for historic, architectural, or esthetic reasons. 8. The alleviation of physical and economic distress through the stimulation of private investment and community revitalization in areas with population outmigration or a stagnating or declining tax hase. DEVELOPMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS 1. It is the �ity's intent to utilize limited Community Development funds in the most effective manner by applying these resources to programs that �vill achieve the maximum benefit for the City as a whole. 2. Recommendations for program content will be solicited from various neighborhoods and community organizations, City operating departments, and other public and private agencies through the newly proposed capital improvement budgeting process. -2- • . , 3. The City will combine Community Development resources with other resources whenever possible to achieve maximum effect. � 4. The City will continue to develop and refine planning and management capability within the City to implement C:D. 5. It incorporates changes in Community Development Block Grant Program direction as a result of enactment of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1977. POLICIES I. STRONG, STABLE NEIGHBORHOODS: POLICY A IT WOULD BE DESIRABLE FOR THE CITY TO "TAKE NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION ACTION AIMED SPECIFICALLY A'f THOSE AREAS OF DETERIORATED HOUSING WITH THE GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR ATTRACTING PRIVATE REINVESTMENT. POLICY B NEW ALLOCATION OF SUBSIDY CAPITAL FOR RESIDENTIAL AND NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT SHOULD FOLLOW THIS DISTRIBUTION: Approximate Recommended Area % of Total % of Subsidy Category Res. Blocks Capital "A", "B", and Improvement III 30% 70-75% All Other 70°.b 25-30�i POLICY C NEW SERVICE SYSTEM CAPITAL IMFROVEMENTS FOR NEIGHBORHOOD BETTEtZMENT SHOULD SUPPORT NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION (FOR EXAMPLE: ITA'S). FURTHERIVIORE, IN AREAS WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN CHOSEN FOR NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION, FIRST PRIORITY FOR SERVICE SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS SHOULD BE FOR AREAS VVHERE POOR CONDITION OF SERVICE SYSTEMS CAN BE DEMONSTRATED TO BE DEPRESSING RESALE VALUE OF PROPERTY OR DETERRING MAINTENANCE INVEST�IENT BY OWNERS. II. CAPIT'AL ALLOCATION CATEGORIES: POLICY D NEW ALLOCATIONS BY T'HE CITY OF S?. PAUL OF BOTH SUBSIDY CAPITAL AND CAPITAL FOR SERVICE SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS IN DIRECT SUPPORT OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SHOULD EMPHASIZE COMPLEMENTING NEIGHBORHOOD REVI'fALIZATI01� AS FIRST CONSIDERATION. POLICY E NOT MORE THAN 20S�b OF THE MONIES BUDGETED EACH YEAR, EXCLUDING SPECIAL GRANTS, COSTS BORNE BY OTHER UNITS OF GOVERNMEtVT OR THE PRIVATE SECTOR AND ASSESSMENTS WHICH ARE FOR A PARTICULAR PR03ECT, SHOULD BE FOR PROJECTS IN ANY ONE DISTRICT. -3- t , POLICY F IN ORDER TO ASSURE A BALANCED APPROACH TO ANNUAL CAPITAL ALLOCATION, ALLOCATIONS OF CAPITAL FOR NE1�V PR07ECTS FOR 1979, 1980 and 1981 SHOULD APPROACH THE FOLLOWING PROPORTIONS: % of Total Category Available Neighborhood Improvement 25-35% Economic Development 20-30°6 Citywide Service Systems Improvement 35-459b Support System Development 5-10% POLICY G FOR BUDGET YEARS 1979, 1980, 1981, NOT MORE THAN 2096 OF THE MONIES BUDGETED FOR NEW FUNDING COMMITMEN?S SHOULD BE FOR PROJECTS IN ANY ONE DISTRICT. III. IMPLEMENT'ATION AND DEVELOPMENT POLICY H THE FUNDING NEEDS OF CAPITAL IN1PROVEMENT PROJECTS WHICH HAVE RECEIVED PREVIOUS BUDGET APPROPRIATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION PLANS, ACQUISITION AND/OR CONSTRUCTION PHASES, NORMALLY HAVE PRIORITY OVER NE�i' PROJECTS. POLICY I GENERALLY, THE CITY'S SERVICE SYSTEM WILL NOT BE EXPANDED. 1. WITHIN SERVICE SYSTEM CATEGORIES, REHABILITATION OF T'HE CITY'S EXISTING FACILITIES TAKES PRIORITY OVER THE ADDITION OF FACILIT'IES TO THE SERVICE SYSTEM, EXCEPT WHERE ECONOMY OR EFFICIENCY FACTORS OR PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS INDICATE THA"f SUCH REHABILITATION IS INADVISABLE. 2. REPLACEMENT OF EXISTING CITY SERVICE SYSTEM FACILI'fIES TAKES PRIORITY OVER ADDITIONS TO THE CITY'S SYST'EM. 3. ADDITIOIVS TO THE CITY'S SERVICE SYSTEM "fAKE LAST PRIORITY UNLESS THE ADDITION BRINGS THE AREA 11VHERE IT IS LOCATED UP TO A STANDARD OF SERVICE \�HICH HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY ADOPTED BY THE CITY AS PART OF A PLAN FOR T'HE SPECIFIC SERVICE SYSTEM, AND BUDGET POLICY DOES NOT LIMIT SUCH FUNDING. IN SUCH CASES, THE ADDITION OF SERVICE SYSTEM COMPONENTS HAS THE SAME PRIORITY AS REPLACEMENT OF EXISTING SERVICE SYSTEM COMPONENTS. POLICY J GENERALLY, THE CITY WILL BUDGET ACQUISITION FUNDING FOR NEW PROJECTS DURING THE NEXT THREE YEARS UNDER THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: 1. ACQUISITION RELATED TO PRIVATE ASSETS. (HOUSING OR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT) A. IF THE PROPOSED RE-USE IS IN CONFORMANCE WITH ADOPTED CITY PLANS, AND B. IF THERE IS A RESPONSIBLE DEVELOPER WITH FINANCING COMMITN9EN'fS IN HAND. -4- 1 i ��I�� [ 2. ACQUISI'fION RELATED TO PUBLIC ASSETS. A. IF RIGHT-OF-WAY OR Ef�SENiENTS FOR SERVICE 2'�3�4£� SYSTEMS ARE DEEMED NECESSARY, OR B. IF THERE ARE OPPORTUNTTIES TO C0�IPLETE PARK LAND ASSE�i�IBLY WHERE PARCELS HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED FOR CONVERSION TO PARK USE WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE, OR C. IF OPPORTUNITIES FOR SPECIAL GRANT FUNDING EXIST. POLICY K ALLOCAIION OF CAPITAL FUNDS FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPiUiENT PROPOSALS WILL BE BASED ON THE MERITS OF EACH PROPOSAL AND UPON ITS ABILITY TO LEVERAGE PRIVATE INVESTMENT DOLLARS AND OBTAIN A RETURN OF INCREASED PROPERTY TAXES, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE IDENTIFIED LEVERAGE AND RETURN ON INVESTMENT GUIDELINES. 1. LEVERAGE GUIDELINES: NORMAL LEVERAGING IS 1:6. IN OTHER WORDS, EACH DOLLAR THE CITY PROVIDES FOR A PARTICULAR PROJECT SHOULD MEAN SIX CAPITAL DOLLARS COMMITTED BY THE DEVEtOPER. FOR EXAMPLE, THE CITY WOULD NORMALLY ANTICIPATE PROVIDING NO MORE THAN $60,000 IN PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS TO SERVICE SYSTEMS OR IN SUBSIDY TO A PROJECT VALUED AT $360,000. THIS RATIO MAY GO AS LOW AS 1:3 IF A GIVEN PROJECT WILL HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT ON A PUBLIC GOAL. EXAMPLES OF SUCH POTENTIALLY WORTHWHILE PRO7ECTS INCLUDE: A. PROJECTS DIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION EFFORTS; B. PROJECTS WHICH GENERAT'E ADDITIONAL (NOT DISPLACEMENT) EMPLOYMENT �VITHIN ST. PAUL; AND C. PR07ECTS �'VHOSE PRINCIPAL OBJECTIVE IS RESOURCE CONSERVATION OR THE DEVELOPiVIENT OF ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES. 2. RETURN ON INVESTMENT GUIDELINES: NORMAL RETURN ON INVESTMENT IS 12%. IN OTNER WORDS, THE CITY EXPECTS TO REALIZE A DIRECT RETURN OF 12°!o PROPERTY TAXES FOR ITS PARTICIPATION IN AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROJECT. IF $75,000 IN PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS ARE PROVIDED, TAX RECEIPTS FROM THE PROJECT SHOULD BE $9,000 PER YEAR MORE THAN THEY WERE BEFORE DEVELOPMENT'. THIS RETURN ON INVESTUENT MAY GO AS LOW AS 4% IF A GIVEN PROJECT WILL HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT ON A PUBLIC GOAL. EXAMPLES OF SUCH POTENTIALLY WORTHWHILE PROJECTS ARE GIVEN IN 1, ABOVE. HOWEVER, AT A MINIMUM, ?HE TAX YIELD FROM A PROJECT SHOULD COVER THE COST OF ANY ADDITIONAL MUNICIPAL SERVICES REQUIRED. -5- , � POLICY L "TAX ABA"fEiVfENT IS DISCOURAGED AS A DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE. HOWEVER, IT MAY BE USED TO SUPPORT PROJEC'fS THAT EXPLICITLY SERVE A PUBLIC PURPOSE. IF USED, ABATED VALUATION IN ANY YEAR OF THE ABATEIviENT PERIOD SHOULD NOT BE LOWER THAN THE VALUATION OF LAND AND IMPROVEMENTS BEFORE THE PROJECT IS STARTED INCREASED AT A 6% RATE COMPOUNDED ANNUALLY OVER THE TERIvS OF ABATEMENT. POLICY M THE SELECTION OF IDEN?IFIED TREATMENT AREAS FOR NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION WILL BE MADE ACCORDING TO THE ITA GUIDELINES ADOPTED BY THE ST. PAUL CITY COUNCIL AS FILE NUMBER � 271322 ON JUNE 27, 1978. THESE GUIDELINES ARE HEREBY INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE AND MADE A PART' HEREOF. POLICY N THE SELECTION OF AREAS FOR COMMERCIAL REHABILITA"TION WILL BE MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMMERCIAL REHABILITATION GUIDELINES CURRENTLY UNDER REVISION AND UPDATING. POLICY O IF THE DOWNTOWN PEOPLE MOVER (DPM) IS IMPLEh1ENTED, $5 TO $6 MILLION IN CITY CIB FUNDS WILL BE APPROPRIATED AS MATCH FOR THE ESTIMATED $45 MILLION FEDERAL DPM GRANT. POLICY P DISEASED TREE REMOVAL AS A SPECIAL ALL�CATION WILL BE CONCLUDED WITH THE 1980 CAPITAL II�PROVEMENT BUDGET. REFORESTATION SHOULD CONTINUE AT AT LEAST A $1 MILLION ANNUAL LEVEL THROUGH THIS 1979-1981 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAIVI. POLICY Q 1. CONDITIONS FOR CITY PARTICIPATION IN FUVDING SKYWAYS: A. FUNDS WILL BE BUDGETED ONLY FOR SKYWAY BRIDGES THAT ARE PART OF A FIR[�i PACKAGE FOR DEVELOPNIENT OR REDEVELOPMENT OF THE BENEFITTING BUILDIVGS; B. NORMALLY, THE CITY WILL FUND ONLY A PORTION OF SKY�VAY BRIDGE COVSTRUCTION. THE DEVELOPERS AND/OR PROPERTY OWNERS OF BENEFITTING BUILDINGS SHALL FUND THE ENTIRE COST OF SKYWAY SYSTEh4 CONSTRUCTION \�ITHIN THEIR BUILDIl�1GS; C. THE CITY WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN FUNDING THE OPERATION OR MAINTENANCE OF A SKYtVAY SYSTENt UNLESS THE CITY IS THE OWNER OR DEVELOPER OF A BENEFITTED BUILDING. 2. THE CITY WILL CONSIDER BUDGETING FUNDS FOR A SITE PREPARATION FUND UNDER THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:. A. FUNDING IS BUDGETED ON A YEARLY BASIS WITH AN INITIAL ALLOCATION OF $50,000; B. THE FUND WILL ONLY BE USED TO PREPARE TAX- FORFEITED SITES 01�VNED BY THE CITY OR SCATTERED SITES FORMERLY ACQUIRED BY THE HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY FOR CLEARANCE; � � r C. SITE PREPARATION WILL BE UNDERTAKEN ONLY IF A DEVELOPER HAS COMMITTED TO BUYING THE SPECIFIC PARCEL ONCE IT IS PREPARED; AND D. NO ADMINISTRATIVE OR OPERATING COS`fS ARE PAID FROM THE FUND. IV. GENERAL BUDGET POLICY R GIVEN THE CITY'S FISCAL CONSTRAIIVTS, IT IS DESIRABLE TO ALLOCATE iV1UNICIPAL CAPI7AL TO PROJECTS IN 1979, 1980 AND 1981, 1�VHICH WILL NOT RESULT IN A NET INCREASE IN CITY OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE RCSPONSIBILITIES. AT A MINIMUNi THIS MEANS THAT: 1. ESSENTIAL FACILI'fIES WHICH CAN BE FINANCED AND OPERATED BY THE CITY AND ANOTHER UNIT OF GOVERNMENT WILL BE GIVEN A HIGH PRIORITY IF THEY CAN BE CONSTRUCTED AND OPERATED AT LESS COST THAN SEPARATE FACILITIES. 2. GENERALLY, T'HERE WILL BE NO ALLOCATION OF CAPITAL FOR PURCHASE OR CONSTRUCTION OF FACILITIES FOR HUMAN SERVICES PROGRAMS WHICH ARE NOT OPERATED BY THE CITY OR FOR REHABILITATION OF HUNIAN SERVICES FACILI'TIES WHICH ARE NOT OWNED BY THE CITY IN 1980.

NO CDBG MONIES WILL BE APPROPRIATED TO FINANCE ANNUAL OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF HUMAN SERVICE FACILITIES IN 1980. 3. NEW SWIMMING POOLS WILL NOT BE CONSIt�ERED FOR FUNDING IN 1980. POLICY S THE CITY WILL AN1`dUALLY BUDGET FOR EACH PRO�ECT PHASE ONLY THE ESTINIATED ANiOUNT OF MONEY WHICH CAN REASONABLY BE E1�PECTED TO BE EXPENDED ��VITHIN THE BUDGET YEAR. THE CAPITAL IMPROVEM►ENT PROGRAM WILL IDENT'IFY FUNDS REQUI�tED TO COMPLETE THE FINANCING OF A PROJECT IN FUTURE YEARS. THIS TENTATIVE COMMITMENT IS SUBJECT TO ADOPTION BY CITY COUNCIL OF A CAPITAL IMPROVEiV1ENT BUDGET APPROPRIATION FOR THE PROJECT. POLICY T DETERMINATION OF WHICH FUND SOURCE IS MOST APPROPRIATE FOR FINANCING EACH OF THE CITY'S BUDGET PRIORITIES WILL BE I�1ADE AS FOLLO��S: 1. ALL STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS ON MUNICIPAL STATE AID, COUNTY AID, OR MINNESOTA TRUNK HIGHWAY . ROUTES WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR FUNDING PRIMARILY VVI?H MONIES ALLOCATED TO THE CITY SPECIFICALLY FOR THOSE ROUTES. 2. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS WHICH ARE ELIGIBLE FOR METRO— POLITAN, STATE OR FEDERAL PROGRAMS OR PRIVATE GRANTS SHOULD BE SO FINANCED. CDBG AND CIB MONIES MAY BE USED TO PROVIDE LOCAL MATCHING FUNDS, IF APPROPRIATE. 3. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS WHICH COULD BE FINANCED WITH SPECIFIC BONDING AU1"HORITY MAY BE SO RECOMMENDED IF CITY COUNCIL HAS INDICATED ITS INTENTION TO UTILIZE SUCH AUTHORITY. —7— . � r 4. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AND PROGRAMS ELIGIBLE FOR CDBG FUNDING WILL BE SO FUNDED. 5. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS WHICH CANNOT BE FINANCED WITH MONIES GOVERNED BY PARAGRAPHS E1) THROUGH (4) WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR CIB BOND FUNDING. V. BOND FINANCING POLICY U 1.

S i ATEViEN1' OF DEVELOPMENT' OBJECTIVES The primary overall development goal in the City of St. Paul is to eliminate and/or ameliorate existing conditions which serve to impair the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the citizens of the City of St. Paul, and which also serve to inflict an economic blight upon existing private investment in some areas and which threaten the sources of public revenue. ?he conditions which have been found to exist which cause the above-noted factors include unsafe and unsanitary housing and buiidings intended to be used far commercial, industrial and other purposes, overcrowding, dilapidation, obsolescence, faulty arrangement or design of buildings and improvements, inadequate consideration of energy factors, deleterious land use, lack of adequate light, ventilation or sanitary facilities, inadequate public facilities (such as parks, playgrounds, schools, streets and sewers) or other equally deleterious conditions. There has also been found to be an inadequate supply of decent, safe and sanitary housing in the City of St. Paul, particularly for families and individuals oi low and moderate incomes and for the elderly, as well as a lack of attention given to the preservation and utility of historic or architectually significant features of the City. A primary objective of this Redevelopment Plan is to overcome the conditions noted above through public intervention so that private enterprise will achieve the means anci receive the encouragement to be primary provider of decent, safe and sanitary housing, commercial and industrial facilities for the residents of St. Paul. Specific objectives to be achieved within the context of the foregoing are as follows: 1. To provi�+e projects and activities that benefit low and moderate income persons, or aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight, or meet other community develoPment needs having a particular urgency. 2. To carry out projects ana activities in a coordinated and concentrated manner with other planned community development activities. 3. To restore, conserve, rehabilitate and foster a neighborhood residential environment conducive to urban living for all segments of the population. The neighborhood should have amenities sufficient for modern needs, be safe, adequately serviced, visually attractive and economically stable. � 4. ?o restore, conserve and enhance, where feasible and desira�le, the identity of existing neighborhoods in St. Paul �y rehabilitating (to the extent possible) the existing structures in the area and by strengthening those elements which serve to give identity to an area, such as neighborhood gathering places, eclucational and recreational facilities, and similar elements which tend to characterize and/or give identity to each neighbor?�ood. 5. To provide for efficient use of land so that each particular land use will function without adversely affecting ar being adversely affected by adjacent land uses, to include physical and visual compatibiiity in design and scale of new construction with the existing neighborhood coordination with other public entities for reuse of land and structures, in accordance with the provisions of this Plan, whose current use is determined to be obsolete, and provision of construction sites which are of adequate size and width to be compatible with t'ne existing neighborhood. 6. To remove blight and conditions of deterioration by: a. Encouraging and fostering voluntary rehabilitation of property by owners. All rehabilitation will, as a minimum, meet all applicable codes of the City of St. Paul. In addition, property ov��ners will be encouraged to meet other rehabilitation objectives intenc�ed to assure the livability, attractiveness and marketability of properties. b. Undertaking a program of public rehabilitation of �eteriorated buildings in order to demonstrate rehabilitation feasibility and public acquisition of deteriorated buildings for resale to parties capabie of rehabiiitating and/or restoring them on site or at sites to which they have been moved. c. Undertaking a program of acquisition and demolition of buildings blighted to the extent of being incapable of being rehabilitated, substandard buildings, or buildings otherwise determined to represent blighting influences. d. Undertaking a program of code enforcement with the appropriate City departments to ensure that hazardous and unsanitary conditions are either corrected through rehabilitation or eliminated through demolition. The term code enforcement for purposes of this Redevleopment Plan si�all mean substantial structural repairs, alterations, or demolition of a building to conform to local housing codes. e. Undertaking a program of acquisition of deteriorated buildings for resale at written-down cost to parties capable of rehabilitating and/or restoring them. f. Undertaking a program of moving residential and commercial structures to allow for their continued utility. � -2- 7. To provide for the development of new housing, both multi-family and single- family, which will maximize housing opportunities for citizens of all income levels, particularly in areas where opportunities have heretofore been limited. The intent of this objective is to reduce the possibility of concentrations of any one income group and ensure the freedom of choice for all citizens with regarc� to housing types and location. 8. To foster the economic sta�ility of resident-serving commercial facilities by undertaking a program of commercial rehabilitation in concentrated areas and to encourage ne�v private investment by members of the community. 9. To achieve vehicular and pedestrian circulation in the City which is safe and adequate in capacity. 10. To meet the educational, recreational, spiritual, shopping s�rvice, and other neecls of the residents �vithin their neighborhood and to assure that the human service needs of the community are met. 11. To encourage the continuing participation by members of the community in the planning and programming of renewal activities for their respeetive neighborhoods through the mechanism of a citizen participation process adopted by the City. 12. To effectively guide and affect the City's efforts in community renewal and provision of services to residents through a comprehensive planning program. 14. To foster environmental stability by unc�ertaking a program of removal of diseased trees and reforestation of the City. 1:. To provide City residents with information as to all housing resources available to allow for adequate decision-making regarding place of residence. 16. 7'o encourage the preservation and restoration of architecturally and historically significant structures and neighborhoods which are of importa�nce to character of the City. The General District Planning Process which was initiated in August of 1975 has been on-going since that time. Many neighborhoods have organizPd district planning committees, collected base data pertinent to each district, identified major neighborhood problems, and formulated goals and objectives. Several Districts have completed draft plans w�hich are currently being reviewed by City Departments, the Planning Commission and the City Council. -3- ' I �� `��8� B. GENERAL LAND USE PLAN For those areas of the City which have undergone renewal activities in the past years, either as a result of the Neighborhood Development Program or through conventional renewal programs, redevelopment plans (including general land use plans) have been adopted by the City of St. Paul, and these plans are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part hereof. Further, the Redevelopment Plan will be carried out in a manner not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan, Land Use Elements, prepared pursuan# to the Metropolitan Land Planning Act of 1976, upon its adoption by the City of St. Paul. During CD Year l, the City of St. Paul �vas divided into seventeen districts and a procedure known as The Process for General District Planning was established to guide planning efforts throughout the City. From this process will come General District Plans for each of these seventeen areas. It is intended that the General District Plans will form a sound basis for both specific proposals for funding of neighborhood projects and comprehensive land use decisions, as land use requirements are to be a component of the General District Plan. General Uistrict Plans will be prepared, processed for approval and approved in accordance with Council Resolution, C.F. No. 2657�9. Upon final auoption, in accordance with the process set forth in implementing said Resolution, General District Plans will be amendments to the Comprehensive Plan for Saint Paul, Minnesota, and to this Redevelopment Plan. The General i.and Use Plan of the Redevelopment Plan shall consist of (1) The Compre- hensive Plan, upon adoption by the City; (2) The Generalized Land Use Maps and Predominant Land Use Categories contained in the CD Year III Redevelopment Plan, Part B. C. URBAN RENEWAL TECHNIQUES TO BE USED TO ACHIEVE PLAN OBJECTIVES While annual funding amounts, rather than �eterminations of need, govern the extent of rene�val activities which can be undertaken by the City, the following techniques are cited as means of achieving as many of the objectives set forth in prior sections of this document as possible. This Plan envisions the use of all techniques or powers currently authorized through applicable statutes. No provision of this Plan is to be taken to limit the full exercise of these powers. 1. To aid in the conservation of existing residential and commercial structures, rehabilitatio� loans and grants (as well as technical assistance will be made to property owners -4- . r � _ to meet local codes under the City's programs for owner-occupied structures, non-owner occupied structures and commercial structures according to the eligibility requirements and guidelines adopted for each program by the City. 2.

Existing housing which is currently under-utilized due to its occupancy by el�+erly couples or is occupied by individuals who are financially or physically incapable of providing routine maintenance, may be purchased, rehabilitated and resolc� at a reduced price to a larger family of moderate income. 4. Structures exhibiting hazardous, unsanitary conditions will be subject to code enforcement by the City. 5. Vacant land which is currently under-utilized, and as such, exerts an adverse influence upon the surrounding neighborhood, may be acquired and suF�sequently disposed of for redevelopment to meet plan objectives. 6.

Such facilities shall include parks, playgrounds, schools, churches, community centers, multi-service centers, utilities and sewers, libraries, and similar facilities. 8. Relocation of site occupants displaced by pu�lic action will be undertaken with the intent to assist those displaced in securing adequate replacement housing which meets their needs and is within their means. 9.

The construction or reconstruction of sidewalks, pedestrian-ways, street lights, traffic control devices and other facilities where conditions warrant and where such improvements will enhance the environment of a neighborhood and augment rehabilitation and/or development activities. 11. Acquisition of existing substandard commercial structures may be undertaken, as well as other activities, so that sites will be made available for new commercial construction and the grouping of commercial facilities at appropriate locations where such facilities can be mutually supporting and provide greater convenience and service to residents. 12. The coordination among public and private agencies will be sought to ensure that the human services needs of the community will be met. 13. Maximum citizen involvement v��ill he encouraged through the structure specified by the City and now in effect for General Dists ict Planning. 14. Sites may be prepared for development of uses permitted under the Land Use Plan. 15. School sites released from use may be acquired and sold for development in accordance with uses permitted under the Land Use Plan. 16.

This process allows for the submittal of proposals for more than one funding source in the same evaluation period, in an attempt to better utilize ever-limited available funds. 18. The City will continue to investigate every means to implement projects deerned feasible and to locate all available funding sources. 19. Legislation allowing for the creation of development districts, parking districts, the sale of Bonds to finance commercial, resic�ential and industrial development, and the utilization of tax increment financing will be applied where feasible to expand the City's capability to implement this plan. 20. The City will promote and encourage the economic development of its commercial and industrial sections. -6- ' � , _ 2`�`��89 21. Parcels may be purchased structures sold for the purpose of housemoving and land sold or assembled and sold for new devleopment; structures may also be moved to other sites prior to their sale. 22.

The designated City agency may elect to dispose of the properties individually or in combinations, whichever method will best accomplish the purposes of this Plan. In any case, all disposition of sites will follow the requirements of State and Federal laws. Specific additional guidelines governing land disposition are cited below: 1. Land Use and Building Restrictions For neighborhoods where land use plans and redevelopment plans have been previously adopted, land use controls as set forth in those documents will be applicable to disposition of properties. Building Restriction provisions further detailing these land use controls and governing density, bulk, open space, set- backs, parking, circulation, etc., will be provided as parcels become available for sale or lease. -7- • , , 2. Circulation Requirement For previous NDP and renewal areas, land use maps have been adopted which indicate all major streets through and on the periphery of the neighborhood. The number of local streets will �e limited to only those needed for access to property and will be designed to discourage thro��gh traffic. Connections to major streets will be limited to only those necessary, and these intersections will incorporate such devices as medians, turning slots, and traffic controls to ensure maximum safety. k'hile these same general objectives will play a major role in the development of plans for new areas of the City, the Streets and Highway Plan will supersede and direct circulation requirements at its adoption by the City. 3. Redeveloper's Obligations The general requirements to be imposed by the Contract for Sale between the redevelopers of property and the City's imptementation agency are: a.

Commitment to New Housing Opportunities To increase housing opportunities for citizens of all income levels, priority will be given in matters of land disposition to those proposals which will result in the development of housing which serves the needs of income groups previously unmet in certain areas of the City. 5. Urban Desi�n Objectives and Control The implementation agency may contract for sale of property upon receipt and acceptance of preliminary plans, but normally will not dispose of praperty under such contract prior to receipt and acceptance of construction drawings. The agency shall retain the right of design review and may reject any proposal which is felt to be inconsistent with the goals and objectives of the Plan. -8- . , , . Specific design objectives and criteria will be established for each parcel prior to disposition, and proposals will be evaluated in the light of these objectives and criteria. Such objectives and criteria will generally seek to achieve the Development Objectives set forth in Section A of this Redevelopment Plan. 6. Duration of Controls The development controls and regulations will be incorporated into the deeds conveying land and shall be maintained and continued in effect for a period of thirty (30) years from the date of approval of the Redevelopment Plan by the City Council of St. Paul.

PROVISIONS FOR AMENDING PLAN � The Redevelopment Plan may be modified at any time by the City of St. Paul, in the manner provided by law. _q_ PROGRAM FOR IMPLEMENTATION SUMMARY In preparing the Community Development Year V program, the City was once again faced with requests for projects that far exceeded available funds. The recommendations for funding are based on how closely the proposals accomplish the primary objective of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended in 1977, that of developing viable urban communities. As in the past, Community Development funds are programmed to match with or leverage other funding sources to carry out the City's program of community development. St. Paul views Community Development funds as only a portion of a program that will total millions of dollars above block grant, and additional funds for rehabilitation loans and grants, the extension of the downtown skyway system, diseased tree removal and replanting, among others, from other Federal and State sources, as well as private businesses and lending institutions. The primary emphasis of St. Paul's Community Development Program is on neighborhood revitalization through rehabilitation of residential units and�the construction of public improvements. During Community Development Year II, the rehabilitation program was expanded to include the expenditure of funds for non-owner-occupied and commercial structures, as well as owner-occupied struct�res, and these programs will be continued in Community Development Year V. These programs illustrate St. Paul's recognition that the strength of our City lies in the strength of its neighborhoods and that a neighborhood revitalization strategy must include all segments of the community. In addition to neighborhood revitalization, Community Development Year V will continue the expenditure of funds for economic commercial development. These funds will lever both public and private reinvestment in the central business district, industrial areas, and in the City's strip commercial areas. Following are the specific program and project recommendations to achieve the goals of neighborhood revitalization and economic development discussed above. Planning and support services will be needed to carry out the program, and resources to achieve this are included in the recommended program. These projects, the scope of the projects and their needed resources, may be aitered, deleted or added to, as implementation of the CD Year V Program dictates. . ' PLANNING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT PROJECTS 'fhe planning program during CD Year V will be undertaken by the City's Department of Planning and Economic Development. Within this Department, responsibility for development of general district planning and project planning will be made. Rehabilitation programs undertaken in CD Year V include low-interest loans and grants derived from the following sources which will be made available city-wide on an individual basis. 1. Minnesota Housing Finance Agency Program for Rehabilitation 2. City of St. Paul's bonding authorization for a local rehabilitation program 3. Federal Loan and Grant Program 4. Veteran's Administration (VA), Federal Housing Administration (FHA) funds 5. Community Development Program 6. Local lending associations' matching funds.

The first steps of the relocation process involve the relocation advisor assigned to the particular property planned for acquisition. The following services are provided: a. Eligible persons are informed at the earliest possible date as to the availability of relocation payments and assistance, the eligibility requirements and procedures for obtaining such payments. b. The extent of need of each eligible person for relocation assistance is determined through direct personal interview. c. Current and continuing information is provided on the availability and prices of comparable sales and rental housing and of comparable commercial properties and locations. d. Information concerning Federal and State housing programs, loans and other special programs offering assistance is supplied to eligible displaced persons. e.

(This payment is to help owners purchase and occupy another dwelling suitable for their family.) - A Replacement Housing Payment of up to $4,000 to eligible tenants to help in the rental or purchase of standard replacement housing. Homeowners who have occupied the dwelling for at least 90, but less than 180, days are eligible for the $4,000 maximum Replacement Housing Payment. Displaced business concerns and non-profit organizations may be eligible to receive payments for the following: - Actual, reasonable moving expenses, plus - Actua! direct loss of tangible personal property, plus - Actual reasonable expenses incurred by a business in searching for a replacement location (limited to $500.00), or as an alternative to the three above payments, - Payment in lieu of moving and related expenses. These payments are equal to the average annual net earnings of the business, but not less than $2,500 nor more than $10,000; payments to non-profit organizations are limited to $2,500. Certain criteri� must be met for a business to be eligible for this payment.

The city will ensure adequate inspection of all replacement housing resources to be utilized by displaced persons. . -2- , � 2. Organization and Staffing The relocation staff of the Department of Planning and Economic Development (PED) has served since 1959 as the central relocation agency for the city. Supervisory personnel, relocation advisors, and technical and clerical employees are responsible for administering the above policies for Federal programs and for such local programs as school site assembly for the School Board of the city and acquisition for the Ramsey County Open Space Program. The relocation staff is assigned to field offices as necessary. Estimates of the personnel needed to carry out relocation activities were based on the projected displacement for the fourth year of Community Development activities, concurrent local programs and past relocation experience. Following is a summary of staff: - Administrator of Project Services (time divided among relocation, real estate and property management) - Business Relocation Specialist - Relocation Claims Technician - Four (4) Relocation Specialists (Family and Business) - Secretarial and Clerical Staff B. SUMMARY OF PROJECTED DISPLACEYIENT The displacement programmed to take place in Year V of Community Development funding involves districts that began planning activities in Year I, as weil as districts closely coinciding with Neighborhood Development Program projects. Several "Identified Treatment Areas" (ITAs) are programmed for Year V, here a combination of clearance, rehabilitation and public improvement activities will be focused on several blocks where maximum benefits may be realized. Additional displacement will occur from properties acquired or scheduled to be acquired under the Neighborhood Development Program and under Year III and IV of CD but whose residents weren't satisfactorily relocated prior to the commencement of Year V. Displacement estimates were made from identified workload and proposed program activity. -3- . J C. SUtiiMARY OF HOUSING RESOURCES Past relocation experience has shown that the majority of displaced persons fall within the income limits for eligibility to the various subsidized housing programs available in substantial supply in the metropolitan area. There are a wide variety of housing resources to accommodate the special needs of these families and individuais in St. Paul. Low Income In order to qualify for public housing occupancy, persons must meet standards of family composition and income. Generally, the following persons are eligible for some type of public housing: Families: Two or more persons regularly living together and related by blood, marriage or adoption. Individuals: A single person who is: (1) eligible by age to receive old age Social Security benefits; (2) physically handicapped or disabled; or (3) displaced by public action. Two sets of income limits are established for initial occupancy and for continued occupancy. Persons displaced by public action may use the limits for continued occupancy in gaining admittance. Eligibility for continued occupancy is reviewed once a year for families and the handicapped, and once every two years for the elderly.

Applicants who qualify under the above guidelines are required to pay no more than 25 percent of their adjusted income for gross rent. Gross income is adjusted by allowable deductions and exemptions for numbers of dependents and excessive or unusual medical and occupational expenses. St Paul currently maintains 16 hi-rise buildings for the elderly and handicapped in all sections of the city. There are a total of 2,660 units in these buildings, out of which approximately 255 are expected to become available in any 12 month period. The city has three programs designed to meet the housing needs of low-income families. The traditional housing for low-income families is congregate public hausing; the city has four of these developments, two small groups of such housing totaling 1,349 units. The other three programs are oriented to dispersing lower income families throughout the city. The city has bought 86 Scattered Site Units and 97 HOPLIF units. The scattered site units are rented to low income families in the same manner as congregate housing. "fhe HOPLIF program is a program through which a tenant eventually becomes a homeowner. These three programs result in the availability of approximately 326 units per year. -S- . Moderate Income Moderate income housing is available to families and elderly or handicapped individuals who fall within the following income limits: Family Size Maximum Annual Income Limits 1 9,600 2 11,000 3 12,400 � y. 13,800 5 14,700 (, 15,500 7 16,400 8 or More 17,300 There are 3,008 moderate income new construction rental units in St. Paul and approximately 600 of these become available throughout a given year. The city also has 153 rehabilitated apartment units and 10 rehabilitated units in single family and duplx housing for moderate income persons. Moderate income families and individuals will also be able to find housing through MHFA plans for single family mortgage and multi-family new construction, and through the Housing Recycling Program. Several proposals for moderate income units are currently in various stages of planning under the MHFA family program. Section 8 - Existing Housing Section 8 is the implementation component for policies stated in the Housing Assistance Plan. During CD Year V, it is intended that all Section 8 units allocated for the City of St. Paul will be used for rental assistance to families who are of low or moderate income and who will be living in standard rental units. The number for Year V will be based on the Metropolitan Council's Subsidized Housing Allocation Plan. -6- • . 2�'�a�9 Eligible families under this program will pay between 15% and 25�0 of their income for rent. HUD will pay the difference between that amount and the fair market rental rate, including �tilities. Eligibility is determined by gross family income, which must be less than 80°� of the 1970 median income by family size for the Minneapolis-St. Paul Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area. These limits are as follows: Family Size Maximum Annual Income Limits 1 �$10,850 2 12,400 3 13,950 y. 15,500 5 16,500 6 17,450 7 18,450 8 or More 19,400 Section 8 - New Construction and Substantial Rehabilitation New construction units under the Section 8 program may be funded by the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency. The city has no separate allocation for this program. Units leased under the Section 8 program will constitute 20% of the total units in the project. Family eligibility is based on the same schedule of maximum annual income limits as for the existing housing program. The turnover in the private housing market has been and will continue to be the primary housing resource for persons who are displaced. 1�'ith the assistance of the $15,000 (maximum) grant, displaced homeowners are able to find housing in the private market. Displaced renters needing 1 and 2 bedroom units are also competitive on the private market with the aid of Replacement Housing Payments. -7- , PROJECT ELIGIBILITY REPORT PRO�ECT ELIGIBILITY REPORT A. ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES . The primary objective of the Community Development Program is the development of viable urban communities, including decent housing and a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income. Federal assistance is provided for the support of Community Development activities which are directed toward the achievement of this overall objective. Although guidelines for the undertaking of a CD program are less restictive than those of previous programs and grant the local municipality more flexibility in the kinds of activities which may be initiated, all elements of the program must, as a minimum, meet certain criteria as delineated in the section of the Federal Register devoted to regulations governing Community Development. The following excerpt outlines those activities which are eligible for federal assistance through the Community Development Program: _. , ,, : . ._ _ , . , .. . . �,. . .. �.. . ,:.. .,. .y.e .,..�. . ,. __...�� , ,....., ..._., ._.� . .�....�:,..�W. ,_ ., �.:.. ._ __ _ . � .. . - • .

VOI. 43, HO. 41—WEONESOaY, MARCli 1, 197J project Eligibility Repor� � . B. DEVELOPMENT OF PROJECT ELIGIBILITY Evaluation of building conditions is a vital first step in the planning process. Any system for classifying buildings must produce an accurate description of observed conditions and be based on clearly defined and acceptable standards. A system of building classifications according to structural conditions has been developed over the years within the St. Paul Housing and Redevelopment Authority Neighborhood Development Program. In 1967, and subsequent years during the initiation of NDP, the St. Paul Housing and Redevelopment Authority contracted with Baron-Aschman Associates, Incorporated to prepare an urban renewal survey technique that would accurately identify and evaluate the extent of deterioration, blight or slum conditions existing in project areas. These standards and subsequent surveys provided the basis for substantiating the need for public action in the area in accordance with established local, state, and federal legal administrative requirements. In the fall of 1974, a residential structural condition (exterior) was undertaken to apply the system on a house-by-house basis for major portions of the city�not included in NDP, code enforcement or renewal project areas. This survey and subsequent evaluation was undertaken in preparation of the Housing Assistance Plan for St. Paul, Minnesota. The completed survey covered 60°� of the total dwelling units in the city. Areas excluded were those which, on the basis of CRP studies, census data and knowledge of environmental conditions, prompted assurnption that no major concentrations of deficient housing existed in those areas. Of the 66,162 dwelling units surveyed, representing 60% of the city's total units, 17� were found to be major deficient and substandard. (For further clarification and the impact upon the city, see HAP Saint Paul, Uiinnesota, �Viarch, 1979). As each structure was examined, inspectors noted all deterioration and inadequacies as they might be influenced by age, quality of maintenance, adequacy of original construction and obsolescence, regardless of whether code violations were present or not. -7- . _._._ _ . �,.. ..� . ... , �.. �:----,......_ .._. .. _. .:..._ _ �. , Upon completion of the inspection and subsequent evaluation of the field survey, an overall b�ilding condition rating was established from the following categories: Sound - A structure with minimal defects and in a standard condition requiring normal maintenance. Deficient buildings contain defects which are not easily correctable and cannot be accomplished in the course of normal maintenance. The classification of minor or major defects, the degree or extent of defects found during the inspection. Minor - A structure classified as deficient--requiring major repairs. Substandard - A structure containing defects which are so serious, so extensive that they adversely affect all or a large part of the structure that repair is probably not feasible. Blighting Influence - A term used to describe an existing condition which (1) applies specifically to the building being surveyed, (2) has an apparent adverse or degrading effect on other existing development. Types of blighting influence are: Incompatible Uses or Mixed Use - A use (or a mixture of uses in a single building) that is incompatible with the majority of uses in the immediate area, such as a mixture of commercial and residential use in a single building or the presence of a manufacturing use in a predominately residential area. There must be significant adverse effect generated by the incompatibility or admixture. Overcrowding of Buildings on the Land - Excessive land coverages by buildings resulting in a restriction of access, servicing, light and air circulation, and other factors which impair the functional efficiency of the building or the health and safety of its occupants, such as small lot size on excessively narrow f rontage. Excessive Dwelling Unit Density - Overcrowding of dwelling units within a building, or on the land, to an extent that the health and safety of the residents of the particular building or neighborhood building is endangered. -8- . ' . � , Obsolete Building Type - A building which can no longer efficiently perform the function for which it was originally constructed. This may be manifested in vacancy for an extended period of time, in full or partial abandonment or in conversion to uses which are unsafe or unhealthy for occupants. Underutilization of Land - Undeveloped land, or land developed significantly below the level of development of the neighborhood and its environs constitute a blighting influence. Such influence is manifested when such underutilization has a retardant effect on the economic, physical or social health of the neighborhood. Other ldentifiable Hazards: Vacant and vandalized structures--structures which constitute attractive nuisances to children and adults which are vacant and which are vandalized or are open to vandalism. Combustible Materials - Structures covered with combustible materials and located within four feet of another structure constitute a danger of spreading fire. With the assessment of existing conditions based on the aforementioned criteria, 3reas may possess conditions by reason of dilapidation, obsolescence, overcrowding, faulty arrangement or design, lack of ventilation, light and sanitary facilities, excessive land coverage or deleterious land use or obsolete layout, or any combination of these or other factors, which are detrimental to the safety, health, morals or welfare of the community and collectively may constitute a "Blighted Area" (Minnesota Statutes Section 462.421 Subd. 11.) Resolution of this problem may run the gamut of alternatives, from non-involvement to clearance and redevelopment. The decision requires an evaluation of a myriad of inputs within the planning process framework. Within the analysis, an evaluation of building conditions and the clearance alternatives req�ires adherence to specific criteria. With the completion of interior inspections and subsequent evaluation delineating conditions rating, including structural and the existence of any blighting influence, a structure conditions summation is taken assigning the total number of sound, minor, major, substandard or blighted structures within the area. Clearance eligibility (a standard utilized within the Urban Renewal and Neighborhood Development Program under HUD Guidelines) requires that 20% of the total buildings be substandard and that 50% of the total buildings be substandard and blighted within the designated boundary. _4_ � „ Delineation of the boundary in determining eligibility should be drawn to maximize redevelopment objectives. The clearance solution to a blighted area is an exacting alternative to eliminate the negative impacts associated with the area. The clearance boundary requires sufficient inclusion of properties to negate the blight with adequate address to redevelopment opportunities. This is not to say that the boundary cannot gerrymander in and around the area to meet the aforementioned criteria, but those areas excluded which continue to contribute to the negative influence require adequate address within the redevelopment scheme to extract the full potential of the overall community.

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOR CAPITAL ALLOCATIONS GOALS j,� The City of St. Paul has two broad goals that act as the keystone for many of St. Paul's activities, including its capital expenditures, which have been adopted by the City Council and identified by the Mayor as major objectives of his administration. They are: 1. To strengthen the City's neighborhoods in order to make them better places to live; and 2. To strengthen the City's economic base in order to provide jobs and services needed by residents of the City. Because capital improvement funds are limited and needs are great, the goals are supplemented by three principles which relate specifically to capital allocations: 1. Critical needs which affect the basic protection of life, health, or public safety take precedence over all other capital expenditures; 2. Capital expenditures should be channeled to those areas where there is the greatest opportunity for stimulating private reinvestment and effecting measurable neighbor- hood or economic improvements; 3. Some capital funds should be made availanle to prevent deterioration and blight in sound areas of the City and to meet t�e need for improvements which benefit the City as a whole. OBJECTIVES ' The primary objective of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 was the development of viable urban communities, including decent housing and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income. To accomplish this objective, the Act provided assistance for activities directed toward meeting the following objectives: 1. The elimination of slums and blight, the prevention of blighting infiuences, and the deterioration of property and neighborhood and community facilities of importance to the welfare of the community--principally persons of low and moderate income; i r 2. The elimination of conditions which are detrimental to health, safety, and public welfare through code enforcement, demolition, interim rehabilitation assistance, and� related activities; . �. 3. The conservation and expansion of the nation's housing stock in order to provide a decent home and a suitable living environment for all persons, but principally those of low and moderate income; 4. The expansion and impravement of the quantity and quality of community services, principally for persons of low and moderate income, which are essential for sound community development and for the development of viable urban communities; 5. A more rational utilization of land and other natural resources and the better arrangement of residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, and other needed activity centers; 6. The reduction of the isolation of income groups within communities and geograpk�icai areas, and the promotion of an increase in the diversity and vitality of neighborhoods through the spatial deconcentration of housing opportunities for persons of lower income and the revitalization of Ceteriorating or deteriorated neighborhoods to attract persons of higher income; and 7. The restoration and preservation of properties of special value #or historic, architecturat, or esthetic reasons. 8. The alleviution of physical and economic:distress thraugh the stimulation of private investment and community revitalization in areas with population autmigration or a stagnating or declining tax base. DEVELOPMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS 1. It is the City's intent to utilize limited Community Development furzds in the most effective manner by applying these resources to programs that will achieve the maximum benefit for the City as a whole. 2. Recommendations for program content will be solicited from various neighborhoods and community organizations, City operating departments, and other public and private agencies through the newly proposed capital improvement budgeting process. . � . � � 3. The City will combine Community Development resources with other resources whenever possible to achieve maximum effect. 4. The City will continue to develop and refine planning and management capa6ility i.. �� within the City to implement CD. 5. It incorporates changes in Community Development Bloctc Grant Program direction as a result of enactment of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1977. POLICIES I.

IMPLEMEN'TATION AND DEVELOPMENT POLICY H THE FUNDING NEEDS OF CAPITAL I1�71'ROVEIvIENT PROJECTS WHICH HAVE RECEIVED PREVIOUS BUDGET Ai'PROPRIATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION PLANS, ACQUISITION AND/OR CQNSTRUCTION PHASES, NORMALLY HAVE PRIORITY OVER NEW PROJECTS. POLICY I GENERALLY, THE CITY'S SERVICE SYSTEM WILL NOT BE EXPANDED. 1. WITHIN SERVICE SYSTEM CATEGORIES, REHABILITATI�N OF THE CITY'S EXISTING FACILITIES TAKES PRIORITY OVER THE ADDITION OF FACILITIES TO TNE SERVICE SYSTEM, EXCEFT �`VHERE ECONOMY OR EFFICIENCY FACTORS OR PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS INDICATE THAT SUCH REHABILITATION IS INADVISABLE. 2. REPLACEMENT OF EXISTING CITY SERVICE SYSTEM FACILITIES TAKES PRIORITY OVER ADDITIONS TO THE CITY'S SYSIEM. 3. ADDITIONS TO THE CITY'S SERVICE SYS'TEM TAKE LAST PRIORITY UNLESS THE ADDITION BRINGS THE AREA WHERE IT IS LOCATED UP TO A STANDARD OF SERVICE �VHICH HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY ADOPTED BY THE CITY AS PART OF A PLAN FOR THE SPECIFIC SERVICE SYSTEM, AND BUDGET POLICY DOES NOT LIMIT SUCH FUNDING. IN SUCH CASES, THE ADDITION OF SERVICE SYST'EM COMP4NENTS HAS THE SAME PRIORITY AS REPLACEMENT OF EXISTING SERVICE SYSTEM COMPONENTS.

LEVERAGE GUIDELINES: NORMAL LEVERAGING IS 1:6. IN OTHER WORDS, EACH DOLLAR THE CITY PROVIDES FOR A PARTICULAR �ROJECT SHOULD MEAN SIX CAPITAL DOLLARS COM11rIITTED BY THE DEVELOPER. FOR EXAMPLE, THE CITY WOULD NORMALLY ANTICIPATE PROVIDING NO MORE THAN $60,000 IN PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT'S TO SERVICE SYSTEMS OR IN SUBSIDY TO A PROJECT VALUED AT $360,000. THIS RATIO MAY GO AS LOW AS 1:3 IF A GIVEN PROJECT WILL HAVE A MA�OR IMPACT ON A PUBLIC GOAL. EXAMPLES OF SUCH PO'�ENTIALLY WORTHWHILE PROJECTS INCLUDE: A. PROJECTS DIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION EFFORTS; B. PROJECTS WHICH GENERATE ADDITIONAL (NOT DISPLACEMENT) EMPLOYNiENT WI"fHIN ST. PAUL; AND C. PROJECT'S WHOSE PRINCIPAL QBJECTIVE IS RESOURCE . CONSERVATiON OR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES. , 2. RETURN 4N INVESTMENT GUIDELINES: NORMAL RETURN ON INVESTh7ENT IS 12%. IN OTHER WORDS, THE CITY EXPECTS TO REALIZE A DIRECT RETURN OF I2% PROPERTY TAXES FOR ITS PARTICIPATION IN AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROJECT. IF $75,000 IN PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS ARE PROVIDED, TAX RECEIPTS FROi�i THE PROJECT SHOULD BE $9,000 PER YEAR MORE THAN THEY WERE BEFORE DEVELOPMENT. THIS RETURN ON INVESTMEN7 MAY GO AS LOW AS 4% IF A GIVEN PRO7ECT WILL HAVE A MA34R IMPACT ON A PUBLIC GOAL. EXAI��IPLES OF SUCH POTENTIALLY WORTHWHILE PROJECTS ARE GIVEN IN 1, ABOVE. HOWEVER, AT A MINIMUM, THE TAX YIELD FROM A PROJEC'T SHOULD COVER THE COST OF ANY ADDITIONAL MUNICIPAL SERVICES REQUIRED. � • • POLICY L TAX ABA"CE��IENT IS DISCOURAGED AS A DEVELOPMEi�IT INCENTIVE.

S t ATEcbiE�T OF DEVELOPMENT OBJECT'IVES The primary overall development goal in the City of St. Paul i's to eliminate and/or zmeliorate etiisting conditions which serve to impair the health, safety, morals, and general =.velfare of the citizens of the City of St. Paul, and which also serve to ir�flict an economic blight upon existing private investment in some areas and which threaten the sources of public revenue. The conditions which have been found to exist which cause the above-noted factors include unsafe and unsanitary hausing and buildings intended to be used for commercial, industriai and other purpases, overcrowding, dilapidation, obsolescence, faulty arrangement or design of buildings and improvements, inadequate consideration of energy factors, �eleterious land use, lack of adequate light, ventilation or sanitary facilities, inadequate public facilities (such as parks, playgrounds, schools, streets ancf sewers) or other equally deleterious conditions. Tnere has also been found to be an inaciequate supply of decent, safe and sanitary housing in the City ef St. Paul, particuiarly for families and individuaIs of lo�v and moderate incomes and for the elderly, as 'w-el1 as a lack of attention given to the preservation and utility of historic or architectually significant features of the City. A primary objective of this Redevelopment Plan is to overcorne the conditions noted above through public intervention so that,private enterprise will achieve the means and receive the encouragement to be pr.imary provider of decent, safe and sanitary housing, commercial and industrial facilities for the residents o:E St. Paul. Specific objectives to be achieved within the context of the foregoing are as foIlows: 1. To provide projects and activities that benefit low and moderate income persons, or aid in the prevention or elimination of slums a�d blight, or meet other community development needs having a particular urgency. 2. To carry out projects and activities in a coordinated and concentrated manner with other planned community development activities. 3. To restore, conserve, rehabilitate and foster a neighborhood residential environment conducive to urban living for all segments of the population. The neighborhaod should have amenities sufficient for modern needs, be safe, adequately serviced, visually attractive and economically stable. � • 4. To restore, conserve and enhance, where feasible and desira5le, the ident.ity of existing neighborhoods in St. Paul by rehabilitati�g (to the extent possible) the existing structures in the area and by strengthening those eiements which serve to give identity to an area, such as neighborhood �athering places, educational and recreational facilities, and similar elements which tend to characterize and/or give identity to each neighborliood. � 5. To provide for efficient use of land so that each particular land use wili function without adversely affecting or being adversely affected by adjacent Iand uses, to include physical and visual compatibility in design and scale of new.construction with the existing neighborhood coordination with other public entities for reuse of land and str�actures, in accordance with the provisions of this Plan, whose current use is determined to be obsolete, and provision of construction sites whieh are of adequate size and width to be compatible with the existing neighborhood. 6. To remove blight and conditions of c!eterioration by: a. Encouraging and fostering voluntary rehabilitation of property by o�vners. All rehabilitation �vill, as a minimum, meet all applicable codes of the City - of St. Paul. In addition, property owners will be encouraged to rneet other rehabilitation objectives intended to assure the Iivability, attractiveness and marketability of properties. b.

The agency shall retain the right of design review and may reJect any proposal which is felt to be inconsistent with the goals and objectives of the Plan. Q • • Specific design objectives and criteria will be established for each parcel prior to disposition, and proposals will be evaluated in the light of these objectives and criteria.

PROVISIONS FOR AMENDING PLAN • The Redevelopment Plan may be modified at any time by the City of St. Paul, in the manner provided by law. • • PROGRAM FOK IMPLEMENTATION � • PROGRAM FOR IMPLEMENTATION SUM�IARY In preparing the Community Development Year V program, the City was once again faced with requests for projects that far exceeded available funds. The recommendations for funding are based on how closely the proposals accomplish the primary objective of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended in 1977, that of developing viable urban communities. As in the past, Community Development funds are programmed to match with or leverage other funding sources to carry out the City's program of community development. St. Paul views Community Development funds as only a portion of a program that will total millions of dollars above block grant, and additional funds for rehabilitation loans and grants, the extension of the downtown skyway system, diseased tree removal and replanting, among others, from other Federal and State sources, as well as private businesses and lending instituti.ons. The primary emphasis of St. Paul's Community Development Program is on neighborhood revitalization through rehabilitation of residential units and the construction of public improvements. During Community Development Year II, the rehabilitation program was expanded to inciude the expenditure of funds for non-owner-occupied and commercial structures, as well as owner-occupied structures, and these programs will be continued in Community Development Year V. These programs illustrate St. Paul's recognition that the strength of our City lies in the strength of its neighborhoods and that a neighborhood revitalization strategy must include all segments of the community. In addition to neighborhood revitalization, Cammunity Development Year V vuill continue the expenditure of funds for economic commercial development. "These funds will lever both public and private reinvestment in the central business district, industrial areas, and in the City's strip commercial areas. Following are the specific program and project recommendations to achieve the goals of neighborhood revitalization and economic development discussecf above. Planning and support services will be needed to carry out the program, and resources to achieve this are included in the recommended program. These projects, the scope of the projects and their needed resources, may be altered, deleted or added to, as implementation of the CD Year V Program dictates. • � PLANNING AND ECONOVIIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT PROJEC"fS The planning program during CD Year V will be undertaken by the City's Department of Planning and Economic Development. Within this Department, responsibility for development of general district planning and project planning will be made. Rehabilitation programs undertaken in CD Year V include low-interest loans and grants derived from the following sources which will be made available city-wide on an individual basis. 1.

Organization and Staffing The relocation staff of the Department of Planning and Economic Develapment (PED} has served sinc� 1959 as the central relocation agency for the city. Supervisory personnel, relocation advisors, and technical and clerical emplayees are responsible for administering the above policies for Federal programs and for such local programs as school site assembly for the School Board of the city and acquisition for the Ramsey County Open Space Program. The relocation staff is assigned to field offices as necessary. Estimates of the personnel needed to carry out relocation activities were based on the projected displacement for the fourth year of Community Development activities, concurrent Iocal programs and past relocation experience. Following is a summary of staff: - Administrator of Project Services (time divided among relocation, real estate and property management) - Business Relocation Specialist - Relocation Claims Technician - Four (4) Relocation Specialists (Family and Business) - Secretarial and Clerical Staff B. SUMMARY OF PRO�ECTED DISPLACEMENT The displacement programmed to take place in Year V of Community Developmertt funding involves districts that began planning activities in Year I, as well as districts closely coinciding with Neighborhood Development Program projects. Several "Identified Treatment Areas" (ITAs) are programmed for Year V, here a combination of clearance, rehabilitation and public improvement activities will be focused on severa! bIocks where maximum benefits may be realized. Additional displacement will occur from properties acquired or scheduled to be acquired under the Neighborhood Development Program and under Year III and IV of CD but whose residents weren't satisfactorily relocated prior to the commencement of Year V. Displacement estimates were made from identified workload and proposed program activity. -3- � � C. SUNiMARY OF HOUSING RESOURCES Past relocation experience has shown that the majority of displaced persons fail within the income lirrlits for eligibility to the various subsidized housing programs available in substantial supply in the metropolitan area. There are a wide variety of housing resources to accommodate the special needs of these famil.ies and individuals in St. Paul. Low Income In order to qualify for public housing occupancy, persons must meet standards of family composition and income. Generally, the following persons are eligible for some type of public housing: Families: Two or more persons regularly living together and related by blood, marriage or adoption. Individuals: A single person who is: {1) eligible by age to receive old age Social Security benefits; (2) physically handicapped or disabled; or (3) displaced by public action. Two sets of income limits are established for initial occupancy and for continued occupancy. Persons displaced by public action may use the limits for continued occupancy in gaining admittance. Eligibility for continued occupancy is reviewed once a year for families and the handicapped, and once every two years for the elderiy.

Applicants who qualify under the above guidelines are required to pay no more than 25 percent of their adjusted income for gross rent. Gross income is adjusted by altowable deductions and exemptions for numbers of dependents and excessive or unusual medical and occupational expenses. St Paul currently maintains 16 hi-rise buildings for 'the elderly and handicappecf in all sections of the city. There are a total of 2,660 units in these buildings, out of which approximately 255 are expected to become available in any 12 month period. The city has three programs designed to meet the housing needs of low-income families. The traditional housing for low-income families is congregate public housing; the city has four of these developments, two small groups of such housing totaling I,349 units. The other three programs are oriented to dispersing lower income famiiies throughout the city. The city has bought 86 Scattered Site Units and 97 HOPLIF units. The scattered site units are rented to low income families in the same manner as congregate housing. The HOPLIF program is a program through which a tenant event�ally becomes a homeowner. These three programs result in the availability of approximately 326 units per year. -5- � � Moderate Income �7oderate income housing is available to families and elderly or handicapped individuals who fall within the following income limits: i, Family Size Maximum Annual Income Limits 1 9,600 2 11,000 3 12,400 4 13,800 5 14,700 6 15,500 7 � 16,�00 8 or More 17,300 There are 3,008 moderate income new construction rental units in St. Paul and approximately 600 of these become available throughout a given year. The city also has 153 rehabilitated apartment units and 10 rehabilitated units in single family and duplx housing for moderate income persons. � Moderate income families and individuals will also be able to find housing through MHFA plans for single family mortgage and multi-family new construction, and through the Housing Recycling Program. Several proposals for ,moderate income vnits are currently in various stages of planning under the MHFA family program. Section 8 - Existing Housing Section 8 is the implementation component for policies stated in the Housing Assistance Plan. During CD Year V, it is intended that all Section 8 units allocated for the City of St. Paul will be used for rental assistance to families who are of low or moderate income and who will be living in standard rental units. The number for Year V will be based on the Metropolitan Council's Subsidized Housing Allocation Plan. -6- � � - Eligible families under this pro;ram wil! pay between 15°�6 and 25:'0 of ti�eir income for rent. HUD will pay the difference between that amount and the fair market rental rate, including utilities. Eligibility is determined by gross family income, which must be less �, than BO°5 of the 1970 median income by family size for the Minneapolis-St. Paul Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area. These limits are as follows: ` Family Size Maximum Annual Income Limits 1 . $10,85Q _ 2 12,400 3 13,950 y. 15,500 5 16,500 6 17,450 7 18,450 8 or More 19,40Q Sectio�► 8 - New Construction and Substantial Rehabilitation New construction units under the Section 8 program may be funded by the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency. The city has no separate allocation for this program. Units leased under the Section 8 program will constitute 209G of �he total units in the project. Family eligibility is based on the same schedule of maximum annual income limits as for the existing housing program. . The turnover in the private ��ousing market has been and wili continue to be the primary housing resource for persons who are displaced. With the assistar►ce of the $15,000 (maximum} grant, displaced homeowners are able to find housing in the priva#e market. Displaced renters needing 1 and 2 bedroom units are also competitive on the private market with the aid of Replacement Housing Payments. -7- � • . PROJECT ELIGIBILITY RE°Or2T �;{, A. ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES The primary objective of the Community Development Progr�m is the development of viable urban communities, including decent housing and a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income. Federal assistance is provided for the support of Community Development activities which are directed toward the achievement of this overall objective. Although guidelines for the undertaking of a CD program are less restictive than those of previous programs and grant the local municipality more flexibility in the kinds of activities which may be initiated, all elements of the program �nust, as a minimum, meet certain criteria as delineated in the section of the Federal Register devoted to regulations governing Community Development. The following excerpt outlines those activities which are eligible for federai assistance through the Community Development Program: • • .

VOL 43, NO. 41—WfOt�iESDAY, MARCl� 1, i97d - Project Eligibi2ity R�por� � � �. DEVELOPMENT OF PROJECT ELIGIBILITY f� Evaluation of building conditions is a vital first step in the planning process. Any system for classifying buildings must produce an accurate des�ription of observed conditions and be based on clearly defined and acceptable standards. A system of building classifications according to structural conditions has been developed over. the years within the St. Paul Housing and Redevelopment Authority Neighborhood Development Program. In 1967, and subsequent years during the initiation of NDP, the St. Paul Housing and Redevelopment Authority contracted with Baron-Aschman Associates, Incorporated to prepare an urban renewal survey technique that would accurately identify and evaluate the extent of deterioration, blight or slum conditions existing in project areas. These standards and subsequent surveys provided the basis for substantiating the need for public action in the area in accordanee with established local, state, and federal legal administrative requirements. In the fall of 1974, a residential structural condition (exterior) was undertaken to apply the system on a house-by-house basis for major portions of the city not included in NDP, code enforcement or renewal project areas. This survey and subsequent evaluation was undertaken in preparation of the Housing Assistance Plan for St. Paul, Minnesota. The completed survey covered 60% of the total dwelling units in the city. Areas excluded were those which, on the basis of CRP studies, census data and knowledge of environmental conditions, prompted assumption that no major concentratians of deficient housing existed in those areas. Of the 66,162 dwelling units surveyed, representing 60% of the city's total units, 179b were found to be ma}or deficient and substandard. (For further clarification and the impact upon the city, see HAP Saint Paul, 1Vlinnesota, March, 1979). As each structure was examined, inspectors noted all deterioration and inadequacies as they might be influenced by age, quality of maintenance, adequacy of original construction and obsolescence, regardless of whether code violations were present or not. -7- � � Upon completion of the inspection and subsequent evaluation of the field survey, an overail building condition rating was established from the following categories: f�; Sound - A structure with minimal defects and in a standard eondition requiring � normal maintenance. � Deficient buildings contain defects which are not easily correctable and cannat be accomplished in the course of normal maintenance. The classifica.tion of minor or major defects, the degree or extent of defects found during the inspection. . iriinor - A structure classified as deficient--requiring major repairs. Substandard - A structure containing defects which are so serious, so extensive that they adversely affect all or a large part of the structure that repair is probably not feasible. � Blighting Influence - A term used to describe an existing condition which (1) applies specifically to the building being surveyed, (2) has an apparent adverse or degrading effect on other existing development. Types of blighting influence are: Incompatible Uses or Mixed Use - A use (or a mixture of uses iR a singte buitding) that is incompatible with the majority of uses in the immediate area, such as a mixture of commercial and residential use in a single building or the presen�e of a manufacturing use in a predominatety residential area. There must be significant adverse effect generated by the incornpatibility or admixture. Overcrowding of Buildings on the Land - Excessive land coverages by buildings resulting in a restriction of access, servicing, light and air circulation, and other factors which impair the functional efficiency of the building or the health and safety of its occupants, such as small lot size on excessively narrow frontage. Excessive Dwelling Unit Density - Overcrowding of dwelling units within a building, or on the land, to an extent that the health and safety of the residents of the particular building or neighborhood building is endangered. -8- . � � Delineation of the boundary in determining eligibility should be drawn to maximize redevelopment objectives. The clearance solution to a blighted area is an exacting alternative to eliminate the negative impacts associated with the area. The clearance boundary requires sufficient inclusion of properties to negate the blight with adequate address to redevelopment opportunities. This is not to say that the boundary cannot gerrymander in and around the area to meet the aforementioned criteria, but those areas excluded which continue to contribute to the negative influence require adequate address within the redevelopment scheme to extract the full potential of the overall community.
