1990 PROPOSED INTERIM HOUSING DISPERSAL POLICY PLAN
GOALS AND POLICIES
GOAL STATEMENTS
To maximize housing choice, particularly for families of low - income, who
have traditionally been limited in the location of housing they could
afford.
To discourage the creation of large areas characterized by households with
low - incomes.
To encourage the creation of additional housing resources for low- income
f a m i l i e s .
npr:TMTTTnNq
Block Group-: Block Groups are clusters of individual blocks which are
subdivisions of the census tracts established by the Census Bureau in 1980.
Ci ty Assistance: These include, but are not 1 imited to: 1andbanking, land
writedowns, financial assistance, financing, density bonuses and tax
abatements for low - income housing.
Low - Income Families: Low - income families are non - elderly families with
children which have incomes at 501 of median income or below for the area
as determined by the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Subsidized Housing: Subsidized housing affected by the dispersal policy
is permanent newly constructed housing for low - income families which has
been assisted directly by City or other government actions.
PRIMARY POLICY
Low - income family housing dispersal throughout the city shall be encouraged
by the City through the use of City assistance. Such dispersal shall not
be encouraged in non - priority areas as defined in Implementing Policies
1 and 2.
However, the policy of dispersal should be weighed against other City
concerns and policies, such as the need to provide affordable housing.
Exceptions to this policy can be made, for example, if new housing either
replaces housing which has been removed from the same block group area
during the preceding f i v e years or if t h i s housing is a part of a City-
approved innovative or experimental housing program. However, projects
allowed in this way cannot exceed 30 units.

IMPLEMENTING POLICIES
1. Any block group in which family- occupied units in subsidized housing
equal 201 or more of the total number of families within that block group
shall be considered a block group that has received an adequate share of
s u b s i d i z e d housing for families and will not be considered a priority area
for the provision of City assistance for additional low - income family
housing projects.
2. Any block group in which more than 50% of all families have incomes
at 50% of median income or below for that block group shall be considered
a block group that has an adequate share of low-income family housing and
will not be considered a priority area for the provision of City assistance
for additional low-income family housing projects,
3. The following are criteria for the location of subsidized housing
within a block group. The criteria are not rigid standards, but a set of
guidelines with which to evaluate a project. Deficiencies in a site's
suitability should not preclude project development if there are
significant advantages to the site.
a. Basic neighborhood commercial facilities and services should be
within 3/4 mile of the site.
b. Major employment centers should be within a commuting time of
15 minutes or less from the site.
c. Public transit facilities should be within 1/4 mile of the site.
d. Recreational 'or cultural facilities should be within 112 mile
of the site.
e. Elementary schools with the capacity to accommodate students
generated by the project should be within one mile of the site.
f . A mi n i mum 1 evel of urban servi ces as outl i ned by the Metropol i tan
Plan shall be available (e.g. public water, sewer, electric power,
urban level of police and fire protection, solid waste collection
and streets with curbs and gutters).
90 The building area should be located on a site which is generally
free of environmental hazards such as: 1) proximity to heavy
industrially zoned or designated uses; 2) unstable s o i l conditions;
3) steep slopes; 4) flood plains; and 5) excessive and detrimental
noise, air, or water pollution.
Page 3 - Interim Housing Dispersal Policy
4. Projects intended for low-income families that receive City assistance
for construction shall be limited in size to not more than 80 units, except
in cases where a project combines both units to serve families At 50% of
median income or below and families above these incomes (mixed income
projects) . In this event, units to serve families at 50% of median income
or below w i l l be limited to 80 units or to 20% of all units, which ever
is greater.
5. In evaluating sites for subsidized housing, consideration should be
given to the conservation of existing housing units which are standard or
feasible for rehabilitation.
