Background:
The City of Cupertino will receive a CDBG entitlement of approximately $400,312 for fiscal year 2007-08,
plus a reallocatiQn of $43,400 in projected program income from rehabilitation loan payoffs for a total of
$443,712. On March 20,2007, the City Council held the first public hearing for both the allocation ofCDBG
funds and the Annual Plan. Since the Annual Plan has been in distribution since March 2, 2007 (30 days)
and no comments have been received, it is recommended that the City Council adopt both the Annual Plan
and the allocations as recommended by the CDBG Steering Committee.
Below are summaries of the CDBG Steering Committee actions and basic information regarding the content
and purpose of the Annual Actual Plan. For further reference, staff can make the March 20, 2007 staff report
with attachments available upon request.
CDBG Steerin2 Committee:
On April 4, 2006, the City Council approved a Citizen Participation Plan as part of its 2006-2009
Consolidated Plan. Prior to expending CDBG dollars, the City is required to have a Citizen Participation
Plan, Consolidated Plan and an Annual Plan in place. As part of the original Citizen Participation Plan,
adopted in February 2003, the City formed a CDBG Steering Committee. The Steering Committee is
comprised of the Cupertino Housing Commission and the four appointed citizens. The CDBG Steering
Committee's responsibility is to evaluate the proposals received and forward funding recommendations to
the City Council.
On March 8, 2007 the CDBG Steering Committee met and conducted a public hearing on the FY 2006-07
CDBG funding allocation. The Committee heard presentations from all but two of the applicants and
recommended the staff recommendation be forwarded to the City Council. Live Oak Adult Day Care and
Community Technology Alliance were not present for the presentations.
FY 2007-08 Annual Action Plan:
Federal regulations require that each entitlement jurisdiction prepare an Annual Action Plan and submit the
plan no later than May 15th of each year. The Annual Action Plan is a one-year plan which describes the
eligible programs, projects and activities to be undertaken with funds expected during the program year
(Fiscal Year 2007-2008) and their relationship to the priority housing, homeless and community development
needs outlined in the approved Consolidated Plan. Furthermore, Federal regulations require the plan be
made available for 30 days for public review and comment. The FY 2007-2008 Annual Action Plan was
released for public review on March 3, 2007 for the 30-day review period. In addition, the CDBG Steering
Committee reviewed the Annual Plan on March 8, 2007. A notice was placed in the local paper informing
the public of its availability. The April 3, 2007 City Council meeting will be the final public hearing to
approve the Annual Action Plan for submittal to HUD.

CITY OF CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA
2007 PROGRAM YEAR ANNUAL ACTION PLAN
FOR THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROGRAM
INTRODUCTION
The Annual Action Plan is a one-year plan which describes the eligible programs,
projects and activities to be undertaken with funds expected during the program year
(Fiscal Year 2007-2008) and their relationship to the priority housing, homeless and
community development needs outlined in the Consolidated Plan.
FEDERAL RESOURCES
The City of Cupertino's Annual Action Plan for the 2007-08 Program Year is a
comprehensive approach to addressing the immediate community needs of people who
are very low and low income. The Action Plan is based on a Community Development
Blo<:k Grant (CDBG) entitlement of $400,312 that the City anticipates will be received
from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and $43,400
in program income. Exhibit A describes the agencies proposed to receive funding in
the 2007-08 fiscal year. Also detailed in the exhibit are the goals and proposed funding
amount for each of the agencies.
Anticipated CDBG program income during the 2007-08 Program Year is estimated to
total $43,400 derived from outstanding rehabilitation program loans. A portion of that
program income will be allocated to support Public Service activities and
administration. The city of Cupertino will allocate $66,024 to public service activities.
Consistent with CDBG regulations, this amount represents no more than 15% of the
combined total of the City's projected 2007-2008 Program Year income and the 2007-08
entitlement.
In 1999 HUD informed the Santa Clara County that the San Jose Metropolitan Statistical
Area is one of the high-income areas where the income limits were increased to the
actual 80% of median income, adjusted for household size. The City of Cupertino will
continue to use the actual 80% of median income limits for all of its CDBG programs in
the 2~07 Program Year. Individual activities may use a lower income eligibility
criterion.
OTHER RESOURCES
Housing Mitigation Program
The Office and Industrial Mitigation Program acknowledges housing needs created by
the development of office and industrial projects. A fee is applied to new square footage
of office and industrial development in the City. The fees collected are deposited in the
2-('
City's Affordable Housing, Fund and are to be used for the provision of affordable
housing.
The City's Residential Mitigation Program applies to all new residential development of
one unit or greater. Residential developers are required to designate at least 15% of the
units in a development as affordable. These units are identified as the "BMR" (Below
Market Rate) units. For developments of six or fewer units, the developer may pay a fee
in-lieu of building the affordable units. All affordable units developed under the BMR
program must remain affordable for 99 years from the date of first occupancy and, if for
sale units are resold during that period, a new 99 year time period is established.
The City administers the Affordable Housing Fund, which is currently supported with
fees paid through the Housing Mitigation Program. Potential options for use of the
housing funds include:
a. Development of new affordable units.
b. Conversion of existing market rate units to affordable units.
c. Down payment assistance programs.
d. Second mortgage programs.
Cupertino Community Services - Cupertino Community Services (CCS) is a non-profit
organization that assists in administering housing programs on behalf of the City of
Cupertino. CCS administers the Rotating Shelter Program for homeless individuals and
also manages a transitional housing facility. Further, CCS acts as the administrative
agent on behalf of the City in managing and monitoring the BMR program.
"Move In For Less" Program - In cooperation with the Tri-County Apartment
Association, this program recognizes the high cost of securing rental housing. The
program is geared to classroom teachers in public or private schools who meet income
criteria. Apartment owners/managers who agree to participate in the program require
no more than 20% of the monthly rent as a security deposit from qualified teachers. This
reduced security deposit hopefully makes it more financially feasible for a teacher to
move into rental housing.
Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) Program -The MCC program provides assistance to
first-time homebuyers by allowing an eligible purchaser to take 20% of his or her
annual mortgage interest payment as a tax credit against federal income taxes. Santa
Clara County administers the MCC Program on behalf of the jurisdictions in the
County, including Cupertino. The program does establish maximum sales price limits
on units assisted in this program and, due to the high housing costs in Cupertino, there
have been few households assisted in Cupertino in recent years.
2-f.o
Second Unit Program -- The Citis Second Unit Ordinance allows an additional unit to
be built on any single-family residential parcel. The objective of this Ordinance is to
encourage additional units on already developed parcels, such as parcels with single-
family dwellings.
Teacher Housing Assistance Program - The City of Cupertino has made up to $200,000
available to assist qualified teachers in the Fremont High School, Cupertino Union and
Foothill-De Anza Community College Districts for the purchase of a home within the
City of Cupertino corporate limits. Neighborhood Housing Services Silicon Valley
(NHSSV), administers the program for the City of Cupertino for a $20,000 fee.
Below are some program highlights:
. Maximum loan amount of $66,666 per household
. Loans are 0% interest and deferred until the change of title, refinance for cash out,
or the end of the 30-year loan term, whichever comes first.
. Loan is subject to a 45-year afford ability restriction that is recorded against the
property.
. Resale restrictions will apply to the new home.
. Home to be purchased must be located within the City of Cupertino corporate
limits.
Density Bonus Ordinance -- The City's Density Bonus Ordinance allows a 25% increase
in density for developments greater than 5 units that provide a proportion of units for
very low or low-income households or housing for senior citizens. In addition to the
density bonus, certain concessions can also be provided to the development, which can
include:
a. Reduction of Parking Requirements,
b. Reduction of Open Space Requirements,
c. Reduction of Setback Requirements,
d. Approval of Mixed Use Zoning,
e. Reduction of Park Dedication Fees,
f. Reduction of application or construction permit fees, or
g. Provision of tax-exempt or other financial assistance.
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
The Housing Services Division of the Community Development Department is the lead
agency for overseeing the development of the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action
Plan.
L-l
This Annual Action Plan development process began with an advertised public hearing,
held by the Cupertino Housing Commission on March 8, 2007 to make funding
recommendation to the city council. In addition, to the public notice, written
notification of the hearing was made to numerous non-profit service agencies and the
city's CDBG Steering Committee for the purpose of gaining greater input for
determining the best use of anticipated federal funds for addressing community needs.
The City Council held an advertised public hearing on April 3, 2007, to determine the
allocation of CDBG funds for the 2007 Program Year. The Annual Plan 30 day public
review period occurred March 3 through April 3, 2007. The City did/ did not receive
any public comments.
CONSULTATION WITH OTHER JURISDICTIONS
As standard practice, CDBG entitlement jurisdictions from throughout Santa Clara
County meet at least quarterly to discuss issues of common interest. Meeting agendas
cover such topics as projects receiving multi-jurisdictional funding, performance levels
and costs for contracted public services, proposed annual funding plans, HUD program
administration requirements, and other topics of mutual concern. These quarterly
meetings provided the opportunity for the City to consult with other jurisdictions on its
proposed use of federal funds for the 2007 Program Year.
CONSOLIDATED PLAN (CON PLAN) PRIORITIES
The City of Cupertino participated in a pilot program to streamline the Consolidated
Plan process by allowing communities to substitute existing local plans for
Consolidated Plan components. As part of the streamlined Con Plan, the City of
Cupertino adopted the priorities listed in Table 2A and 2B in 2006. These tables are
attached and incorporated by reference as Exhibit B of this document.
GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION
A map outlining geographic areas considered to be of low and moderate-income
concentration is included as part to this submittal. In the map, three Census tracts
indicate a higher percentage of low/mod population than all other Cupertino Census
tracts. It is from these three Census tracts that the City of Cupertino recruits three
representatives of the CDBG Steering Committee. Funding support for the listed
projects is based more on expressed need within the community rather than upon
geographical priority.
ANTI-POVERTY STRATEGY
In a continuing effort to reduce poverty, the city of Cupertino will make it a priority to
fund agencies that provide direct assistance to the homeless and those in danger of
2-6
becoming homeless and make a commitment to improve the communication and
service delivery capabilities of agencies and organizations that provide programs to
assist the homeless.
Depending on funding availability, Cupertino will continue to provide assistance to
public agencies and nonprofit organizations providing neighborhood housing services,
supportive services to the homeless, older adults with physical or mental impairment,
the mentally ill, viCtims of domestic violence, and households with abused children
among others.
Coordinate with public agencies providing job training, life skills training, lead
poisoning prevention and remediation and other education programs that listed in the
City's Consolidated Plan strategies.
HOMELESS AND SPECIAL NEEDS
In previous years, the City of Cupertino appropriated $20,000 in CDBG funds for the
Sobrato Family Living Center Project.
In 2000, the City will also contributed to the Home Safe-Santa Clara providing
transitional housing for survivors of domestic violence who are considered at-risk for
homelessness.
In addition to these capital project subsidies, the City will fund public service activities
related to homelessness. During the 2007 program year, the city will provide $21,409 to
the Faith in Action Rotating Shelter Program and $4,000 to Emergency Housing
Consortium for emergency shelter to Cupertino families. The City of Cupertino will
also continue to coordinate services to the homeless through such inter-agency efforts as
the Collaborative, Help House the Homeless, and the Community Technology Alliance
and support the regional Continuum of Care.
In addressing senior services, the City will continue advocacy for the increased
dissemination of accurate information and counseling for seniors and other persons
regarding housing options available. This will be accomplished through a cooperative
effort with the Cupertino Senior Center, Cupertino Community Services and the
Cupertino Public Library.
LEAD-BASED PAINT
Lead-based paint awareness and abatement will be fully integrated by the City of
Cupertino into its assisted housing programs. Each tenant, landlord and property
owner will be informed of the dangers, symptoms, testing, treatment and prevention of
lead-based paint poisoning. Lead-based paint hazard stabilization or abatement will be
provided in each and every rehabilitation project. Furthermore, adherence to Federal
2- ~4
guidelines for reduction activities with lead-based paint IS provided for m every
federally funded rehabilitation loan.
PUBLIC HOUSING
The City will continue to encourage the local Public Housing Authority to develop
affordable units in the city of Cupertino.
FAIR HOUSING
Cupertino continues to support both the purpose and goal of fair housing and works to
achieve fair housing in administering federal, State and local programs. The City also
supports the development of affordable housing stock that is an important part of a fair
housing initiative, given the high cost of local housing.
In conjunction with other jurisdictions in Santa Clara County, the City commissioned a
comprehensive survey to identify unmet needs and unidentified barriers, to assess the
delivery of fair housing services, and to recommend action steps to meet the County's
fair housing needs. The study was completed in 2003 and the city will be working with
the other Santa Clara County to review program changes as a result of the study. The
City prepared an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) in 2004.
The proposed actions to be undertaken by the City in the 2007 Program Year consist of
the following:
. The City will continue to require developers to provide relocation assistance
when residents will be displaced.
. The City will continue to provide a housing program that allows for modification
of existing housing facilitating the needs of persons with disabilities.
. The City will continue to support non-profit organizations whose purpose is to
aid in the furthering of fair housing in the community. Methods of support could
include notification of fair housing rights and responsibilities distributed in
brochures located in public buildings, public service announcements on the local
access channel or similar methods.
. The City will continue to allow for the construction of higher occupancy housing
complexes on a case-by-case basis when possible, for all economic segments of
the community.
PROGRAM MONITORING
Performance monitoring for compliance to federal program requirements is scheduled
at least once annually for projects that are under service contract. Monitoring of
federally funded activities is undertaken for projects that are either under an annual or
2"'-10
longer-term performance period. In addition, the City undertakes an annual Single
Audit according to the requirements of the federal Office of Management and Budget.
As standard practice, notification is made to HUD on the availability of the City's
annual audit.

year).
Project Description: Provide fair housing assistance to the city of Cupertino,
including conducting presentations, counseling housing
providers, and investigating allegations of
discrimination.
Recommendation: $8,823 ($802 per low and moderate income client)
The program will provide a valuable service to the City of Cupertino, however, it
appears that the agency serves fewer and fewer low and moderate income clients
each year. At the recommendation of the local HUD office, the agency will only
receive reimbursement for serving low and moderate-income Cupertino
residents. Staff is suggesting a reimbursement rate of $802 per low and
moderate-income client. ECHO has been providing Cupertino's fair housing
services for many years. Staff likes the consistency of having ECHO continue the
program. Staff would like to require that the agency be required to meet with
local apartment managers annually to review fair housing law and provide
informational meeting for tenants on fair housing.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING FUND:
L. Mfordable Housing Placement Program
Cupertino Community Services, Cupertino
2007-08 Request: $65,000

the screening and placement services for ten senior units
located at Chateau Cupertino as well as below market
rate rental units. They maintain a waiting list for
qualified applicants and provide services to those placed
in the affordable units.
Recommendation: $65,000 (Mfordable Housing Fund)
The agency has successfully performed the necessary task of screening and
placement for Chateau Cupertino, City Center Apartments and compiling
waiting lists for the below market rate program. Cupertino Community Services
also continues to expand services beyond the scope specified by the City.
The city of Cupertino oversaw the Below Market Rate program and monitored
the BMR rentals at Forge-Homestead and Aviare Apartments. However, limited
staff time made auditing the Aviare and Forge-Homestead programs impossible.
2~1
EXHIBIT A
Last year's $10,000 funding increase enabled CCS to devote a full-time employee
to the program. This employee is responsible for auditing Aviare and Forge-
Homestead Apartments, as well as handling all BMR ownership resale requests.
The staff person would also assemble procedural manuals for both the
ownership and rental programs. These manuals will assist any new staff person
taking over the program as well as document procedures.
