Graffiti Release form and letter I. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND The purpose of this report is to taken to date to improve the additional information collected, recommended. update the City Council on steps southwest portion of the City, strategies developed and programs As the Council is aware, one of Tustin's highest density residential areas is referred to as the southwest portion of the City. The area is generally bordered by the Santa Ana freeway to the north, McFadden and Edinger to the south, Red Hill to the east and the City's boundary to the west (Appendix A). While the City has engaged a Community Oriented Policing (COP) program in an effort to respond to increased police calls for service in the southwest portion of the City, there were a multitude of social, physical and property management problems and issues plaguing the area that were discussed with the City Council in workshop sessions. As a result, the City Council in July of 1990 recognized that significant attention and a comprehensive problem solving approach would be necessary to improve and maintain the quality of life within the southwest portion of the City. Seven specific programs to achieve this goal were proposed as follows: 1. Development of a Community Assistance Task Force comprised of staff members from various City departments including the Police, Community Services, Community Development and Public Works Departments 2. Establishment of a pro -active Code Enforcement Program 3. Contract for Graffiti Abatement Services 4. Development of a Voluntary Apartment Managers Certificate Program - a one -day workshop to assist apartment managers in identifying City health, safety and zoning code violations on their property through self -inspection training and informing them of resources and services available to rehabilitate and maintain the condition of property. 5. Preparation -of a Property Maintenance Ordinance 6. Development of marketing/education and promotion materials to promote and encourage community participation and public awareness of the City's community improvement programs. 7. Preparation of City Code Amendments to deal with unit .overcrowding and other property maintenance issues. 1 In the months since the City Council's original direction, the following steps have been taken including_ those specifically requested by the City Council: ■ Establishment of a Community Improvement Task Force - comprised of managers and key staff. from the Police Department, Community Development Department, Community Services Department and Public Works Department. By combining city resources and talents, the task force is operating in ways in which we are becoming more efficient and effective in dealing with community.issues, resulting in more positive impacts. The task force has sought long-term solutions to some of the social, physical and management problems plaguing this area. Through these efforts, it is expected that the southwest neighborhood will realize it's potential insuring a neighborhood which -is not only safe and attractive but also a nurturing environment. ■ Proactive Code Enforcement - A proactive code enforcement program has been established. A Code Enforcement Officer position was created with the 1990-91 budget and is currently working toward obtaining citizen compliance with known zoning, property maintenance and other city code violations. ■ Bail Schedule - A bail schedule has been prepared and adopted by Council which establishes bail amounts for numerous Tustin City Code violations. Tustin police and code enforcement officers are now able to issue misdemeanor and infraction citations for appropriate violations. ■ Property Maintenance Ordinance - A new Property Maintenance Ordinance has been prepared to facilitate enforcement of the City's public nuisance code sections. This draft ordinance is currently being reviewed by the City Attorney's office and would be expected to be available for City Council action within 30 days. ■ Graffiti Ordinance - A new ordinance has been prepared which is intended to assess financial and punitive responsibility to individuals caught placing or assisting in the placement of graffiti within the city . The draft ordinance is currently being reviewed by the City Attorney's office. ■ Graffiti Abatement Contract - The City has funded a graffiti removal program utilizing CDBG (Federal Community Development Block Grant Funds) . An annual contract has now been signed to ensure rapid paint -out of all.future occurrences of graffiti on private property within the City. ■ Weed Abatement Ordinance - A draft weed abatement ordinance is under preparation in response to changes in state law. 2 ■ Overcrowding Ordinance - A draft ordinance has been prepared by staff which is similar to the ordinance adopted by the City of Santa Ana which has recently been legally challenged. Court action on the Santa Ana ordinance is scheduled for September 30, 1991. If upheld by the court, staff will bring the draft to Council for consideration. If not upheld, staff will pursue alternative approaches with the City Attorney's office. ■ Loitering/Curfew Ordinances - has been adopted by the City Council to assist City police enforcement of illegal youth activities. ■ Apartment Managers Partnership - Police officers, code enforcement, and Community Development staff have been meeting regularly with apartment managers from the southwest portion of the City to communicate information about Community Improvement Partnership Program activities and to solicit community participation. Course materials for a fall Apartment Owners/Managers self-help training program are in preparation. ■ Emergency Access Ordinance - has been implemented to reduce impediments to police or fire official access to a property usually caused by accumulations of debris and/or illegally parked vehicles. ■ EducationZMarketinq Program - An overall marketing strategy has been developed and approved by the City Council to encourage community participation in clean-up and improved living conditions in the southwest portion of the City. Preparation of promotional materials is underway. As part of this marketing effort, the Community Improvement Task Force uncovered a problem in terminology. What staff had inadvertently done in labeling a particular section of our City as being less than desirable had resulted in an unfortunate negative impact upon many of our residents in this area. We came to the conclusion that this was counterproductive to the City's focus on the total quality of life within our entire community. We have, therefore, made a decision to replace the term, Southwest Neighborhood P g Improvement Program" with "CommunityImprovement Partnership Program" and have renamed our task force the "Community Improvement Task Force". As part of this new approach the following specific marketing efforts have already been accomplished: A bi-lingual information brochure to certain targeted portion area residents has been completed 3 A Community Improvement Partnership logo has been developed A program introduction letter has been sent out to targeted residents ■ Opportunities to Expedite Physical Improvements - A fast tracking procedure has been implemented to welcome certain building and security improvements in the southwest neighborhood and to ensure that City response is helpful and prompt, rather than bureaucratic. The City Manager's office has also approved permit fee waivers for certain improvements in the southwest neighborhood. ■ Street Curb Restripinct - Street curb restriping has recently occurred in certain selected areas in the southwest neighborhood to reduce parking problems. ■ Emercaency Access - With the assistance of the County Fire Department, the Police Department has instituted an emergency access program to ensure adequate accessibility for emergency vehicles into larger multi -family complexes. ■ Recreational Opportunities - The City developed a hispanic basketball league intended to provide cross-cultural recreational opportunities for the City's hispanic youth. In - addition, staff will be working to explore additional alternative programs and funding opportunities to expand recreation opportunities in the southwest portion of the City. As a first step, a needs assessment survey will be developed and residents will be asked for their input prior to any program development. A needs assessment demonstrates that the City truly wants to know what residents want for their neighborhood. City staff intends to continue to work with residents, neighborhood apartment manager's networking associations, the Tustin Unified School District and other relevant public agencies to identify, solve, and curtail the negative conditions and activities within the southwest neighborhood. II. COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT TASK FORCE EFFORTS Recognizing staff and budgetary constraints in meeting all the needs throughout the southwest portion of the city, the Community Improvement Task Force felt that the best option as a strategy to improving the southwest neighborhood was to concentrate resources on focused priority target areas within the southwest neighborhood. The substantive improvement of these focused "target" areas would then act as the foundation on which the future of the entire southwest area could be built. 4 A. Process utilized Working as a team, the task force was structured to undertake the following: ° Assess and inventory property in the southwest neighborhood ° Select targeted areas within the southwest portion of the City ° Analyze the need for physical improvements on both public and private property ° Identify and evaluate alternatives to existing programs, establish a priority list of short and long range goals and, review and recommend programs to address these needs and issues. B. Review of Steps and Information Gathered 1. Selection of Target Areas The southwest portion of the city is really made up of a number of smaller neighborhoods which are in different condition. Their condition is based on such factors as the density and age of housing, level of maintenance, etc. In order to identify the current condition of each neighborhood, - a visual windshield survey of the entire southwest neighborhood was conducted. Field observations were supplemented with discussions with private property and apartment managers. Based on this information, and extensive discussions and consensus among members of the task force in a problem solving environment, the task force selected three target areas in which to initiate more concentrated improvement efforts. These areas are shown on Appendix B. 2. Physical Needs Assessment In order to identify specific physical needs and issues within each target area, a more detailed inventory and physical survey of each target area was completed. Comprehensive code enforcement inspection reports were completed (see Appendix C), photographs were taken and all area property owners were identified. The following is a summary of the major concerns within the three identified target areas: ° Graffiti ° Buildings which need paint and repair to their exterior walls ° Inadequate security lighting ° Buildings which need roofs Damaged windows.and screens Defective stairways, landings, railings 5 ° Vehicles and similar items parked or stored on unpaved surfaces Fence and wall repairs needed ° Condition of vegetation unsightly, overgrown dead or decayed ° Curb, gutter and damaged driveways in public right of way ° Damaged street lights Trees in public right of way causing damage Automobiles and equipment found abandoned, dismantled, wrecked, or inoperative. Premises maintained with overgrowth and accumulation of debris. ° Garbage cans stored at the curb -side or on front or side yards visible from street. ° Disposal and presence of oil, grease, and other petroleum products in such a manner to constitute a health hazard and degrade the appearance of aesthetic and property values. Paved surfaces containing unsightly pot holes, cracks, ponds and/or ridges. Insufficient emergency access parking in driveways and on street parking problems. III. Recommended Target Area Improvement Programs The development of programs designed to address the needs identified involved a series of meetings with the task force as well as review of work being completed in other southland communities. It was the feeling of the task force that the first efforts must be to stabilize the target areas and prevent any further deterioration. The second effort will then be to commence the turnaround process. The long range goal is for safe, healthy and vibrant neighborhoods. A. Interim Activities It was the task force's recommendation that interim improvement activities begin and continue as soon as possible in order to maintain neighborhood interest and momentum while the entire program was being designed. In response, the following improvement activities have been initiated in all three target areas: ° Publication and distribution of an introductory letter and bilingual information brochure describing the Community Improvement Program (Appendix D). ° Publication and distribution of a bilingual brochure. A Guide to Residential Ordinances (Appendix E) - Zoning and Property Maintenance education for voluntary compliance. 6 ° Recommended a modification in street sweeping policy within the Alliance Avenue target area (subarea C). Implementation of a Graffiti Removal Program ° Street curb restriping Emergency access\Parking Program ° Street lighting assessment - repairs and wattage increases where possible ° Proactive zoning enforcement program Police and intensified presence in area programs B. Medium - Long Range Improvement Programs These programs will be intended to address more substantive exterior improvements needed in the area and are more long-term and designed to increase property values. In conjunction with each of these improvements, the task force has prepared cost estimates as shown on Tables 1 and 2. In addition to private improvements shown on Table 2, a number of -- private property improvements have associated costs which are not easily estimated. These include: ■ Residential re -roof ■ Re-stucco/re-paint building exteriors ■ Re-screen/repair windows and doors To assist owners in completing the private improvements it would be recommended that a rental rehabilitation program be developed which would make available low interest or deferred loans and grants to multi -family rental owners to make certain prioritized physical improvements to'their complexes. The actual loan or grant rebate amounts and program guidelines could be brought back for future City Council consideration and approval. The intent of such a program would be to provide an incentive for owner completion of improvements not necessarily for the Agency to subsidize all costs. C. Marketing Program This program will continue to concentrate on educating and informing residents about zoning violations and availability of program opportunities within target areas. It is estimated that approximately $10,000 annually will be needed. 7 TABLE 1 PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS 8 Target Target Target Area Area Area A B C Concrete Sidewalks Repairs/ Reconstruction Removal and replacement $15,300 $6,950 $1,950 Replace sidewalk drain $ N/A $ 500 N/A Driveway Apron Repairs/ Reconstruction Removal and replacement $13,200 $7,350 $1,250 Curbs and Gutters Repair/ Reconstruction Removal and replacement $15,550 $14,550 $2,850 Repaint blue/red curb markings $ 11000 $ 2r500 $1,000 Parkways Fill and adjust meter boxes $ N/A $ 800 $ 500 Street tree replacement streetscape *$44000 * 5 600 *11-t-1--00 TOTALS $49,050 $37,750 $8,650 * As an alternative, Council may instruct staff to determine that removal and replacement should occur basis, greatly reducing the immediate cost. Cost could be significantly higher if the City pursues on an as needed a comprehensive removal and replacement program. 8 TABLE 2 PRIVATE IMPROVEMENTS 9 Target Target Target Area Area Area A B C Private Drives/Alleys Asphalt or concrete repair $368,700 $323,850 $ 54,000 Ways Removal and replacement $ N/A $ 450 $ 200 Landscaping Remove one 30 foot tree $ N/A $ 250 $ 500 Buildings Install guard posts to prevent $ 11500 auto collision $ N/A $ 500 Parking ive dirt parking areas $ 1A $ 24,450 N A TOTALS $368,700 $349,500 $ 56,200 9 IV. Financing Resources The following is a listing of key financial resources that staff feels at this time could be effective in implementing the programs described herein. A. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds The City continues to receive and allocate CDBG monies for housing rehabilitation and public improvements in the city. There is currently a balance of approximately $160,000 in housing rehabilitation funds for use .within the City of Tustin as follows: Grant Year Approximate Balance 1989-90 $ 28,000 1990-91 52,000 1991-92 80.000 $160,000 The Housing Rehabilitation Program is administered for the City by the County of Orange. Staff have met with and obtained assurances from the County of Orange, that they will prioritize housing grant and loan applicants from the southwest neighborhood. Since Alliance Avenue (target subarea C as shown on Appendix B) is not within the South Central Project Area, the CDBG Housing Rehabilitation Program will be a critical implementation funding source for improving this area unless the Redevelopment Agency adopts special findings. Unfortunately, CDBG program guidelines and marketing by the County can be very slow. Staff will continue to work with the County to expedite their processing of applicants. B. Tax Increment 20% Housing Set Aside Funds Since a major portion of the southwest portion of the city is in the South Central Redevelopment Project area (basically limited to portion of southwest neighborhood bounded by Newport Avenue on the east and the SR -55 freeway on the west) , one of the City's most significant resources in the next few years for expansion of neighborhood revitalization efforts are housing set-aside funds. Section 33334.6 of the California Health and Safety Code with certain exceptions requires each redevelopment project area to set aside a minimum of 20% of its tax increment into a low and moderate income housing fund. The revenue from the low and moderate income housing fund must be used for the purpose of increasing, improving, and preserving the community's supply of low and moderate income housing available at affordable housing costs within the territorial jurisdiction of the 10 Agency. In accomplishing these statutory requirements, the Agency may use its housing set-aside funds by exercising any or all of it's powers, including but limited to the following: 1. Acquire land or building sites 2. Improve land or building sites with on-site or off-site improvements. 3. Donate land to private or public persons or entities 4. Construct buildings or structures 5. Acquire buildings or structures 6. Rehabilitate buildings or structures 7. Provide subsidies to, or for the benefit of very low income households, lower income households or persons and families of low or moderate income. 8. Development plans, pay principle and interest or bonds, loans and other indebtedness, or pay financing charges. Recent changes in redevelopment law now require an Agency to expend or encumber Housing Set Aside funds in excess of $500,000 within five (5) years of the fiscal year accrued. The South Central Project Area has accrued the following housing set aside fund balances since the fiscal year 1987-88. Exuenditure Year Amount Needed 1987-88 $ 460,963 1992-93 1988-89 396,131 1993-94 1989-90 397,103 1994-95 1990-91 $ 558.890 1995-96 TOTAL $1,813,087 Unlike many federal and state funding sources, housing set aside funds will increase annually and also as new valuation is added within the Project Area. While Community Development staff will be bringing a comprehensive strategy in fiscal year 1990-91 to the Agency for utilization of all housing set aside monies, we would strongly suggest that at this time tax increment Housing Set-aside monies be used wherever legally possible to finance programs in the southwest target areas. To the extent tax increment monies are used to finance new rental development or substantial rehabilitation, the project must meet certain affordability restrictions for the largest feasible time but in no case less than 15 years. When funds are used for homeowners, affordability restrictions are for at least 10 years. Affordability requirements would be structured as deed restrictions which survive transfer of title or other changes in use. 11 C. Tax Increment Funds South Central Redevelopment project tax increment funds can also be used for public improvements and other projects not eligible under the Housing Set. Aside Program to defray staff and other City expenses related to the Community Improvement Program. Since there will be significant financial commitments needed in the future in the South Central Project Area to assist in the funding of Pacific Center East infrastructure, including the proposed extension of Newport Avenue, staff would not recommend at this time a significant commitment of these resources until completion of a financing plan for the Pacific Center East project. At this time, it would be recommended that at least $10,000 marketing costs be funded for fiscal year 1990-91. V. Timeframe Since there is insufficient staff to implement all programs simultaneously in all target areas at one time, a general estimate of the amount of time to complete different improvements on each neighborhood has been estimated. In determining these time frames, - staff have taken into account the need for more refined program development for medium -long range improvements, needed appropriations by the Agency, the expected level of response to programs, and the City's capacity to respond to expected demand. The Community Improvement strategy will be an on-going effort which will address a manageable number of target areas each year. Once a target area has been stabilized, the task force will move on to future target areas in need. It is projected that it will require approximately 14-16 months to see noticeable and long term physical improvements throughout a target area once all programs are operational. This is only a working estimate and may well change once programs are underway. VI CONCLUSION The purpose of the Community Improvement Program is to actively maintain and improve the quality of Tustin neighborhoods. It is recommended that the City Council once again confirm the Community Improvement Program initiated by staff. Further, it is requested that Council direct staff to pursue the funding opportunities described above and direct staff to develop detailed program guidelines for use of the City's 20% Housing Set Aside 12 monies for public improvements and private improvements within certain target areas for future consideration by the Redevelopment Agency.
