Proposal from Judy Chen: Vera Gil introduced Judy Chen and gave a brief explanation of what
Ms. Chen had initially requested. Ms. Chen explained her position in regards to building these
units. She had concerns about:

demand for these homes is great and that these homes can be pre-sold.
• What fee waivers can we expect?
The City has the ability to waive park dedication and construction tax.
• Can the City assist in finding a tender'?
The City cannot guarantee a lender, but will make referrals.
e
Vera Gil explained that she will provide Ms. Chen with a written response to all her concerns.

Community if she can make is economically feasible. Ms. Robinson asked if;here are any deed
restrictions on the "for sale" units. Ms. Gil stated that yes, the restriction is 30 years for the for
sale units and 20 years on the rentals.

there may be some relocation costs associated with this proposal. These costs could be costly
depending upon the individuals income and whether or not they meet the incc..ne guidelines.

months of rent differential from current housing to wherever they are going. This includes
finding comparable housing, which is sometimes better than the housing they currently have if

contingency that relocation costs cannot exceed $30,000. Sylvia Nlachamer seconded.

I Request b,* Tandem Computer on Interpretation of Housing Mitigation Manual: Vera
Gil presented proposal by Tandem Computers requesting the City's consideration of housing
credits if they sell property to a developer and the developer builds housing on the property,
® Staffs initial recommendation was to approve the project based on the developer building 3 i lo�N
and very low income units. After speaking to John Hailey this afternoon, this recommendation
may have been presumptuous. John Hailey and Ernie Picone are here and will present their
proposal to the Committee.
John Hailey ;tated that Tandem has been approached by developers inquiring about the
fruitpacking site at Wolfe and Pruneridge. Tandem is interested in selling this land to a
developer whereas they would produce housing and Tandem could receive the credit for"causing,
to be built" housing units and that mitigation credits could be banked for a future increase in
office/industrial development. Ernie Picone, Real Estate Manager for Tandem explained that
this site has been considered by office/commercial and residential developers. The price per
square foot ranges from$27.00 to $30.00 per square foot.
Dick Schuster questioned why Tandem would not just pay the in-lieu fee of$5.00. Mr. Hailey
stated that he felt the General Plan encouraged housing rather than paying an in-lieu fee. He also
stated that the fee was the highest fee in the County. Dick Schuster asked for clarification on
Tandem's desire to double count units for housing and office/industrial. Mr. Schuster stated that
his interpretation of the housing manual was that these units are exclusive of one another and he
was not in favor of allowing Tandem to receive credit for"causing to be built" housing units
which will also meet the residential mitigation requirements. Mr. Hailey explained that he
looked at this proposal as if Tandem were to build a housing project, they would only be required
to mitigate 10%of the total units constructed. He felt that Tandem would be very concerned if
the City would not accept the proposal and require additional units to be built based upon the
office/industrial mitigation and residential mitigation. Mr. Hailey added that he had spoken to
Bob Cowan and Don Brown prior to his request for consideration and learned that the City did
not want a request for 40-50 units per acre, but more in the neighborhood of 20-25 units per acre.
Mr. Hailey also added the developer expressed a concern regarding the time it may take to make
a decision and his tight timeline for proceeding with this project.
Kathy Robinson was concerned that the BMR units and the required units will be counted as one
in the same. The AW would like to see as much affordable housing as possible and would
prefer that the two be separate and distinct. Ms. Robinson had no problem with Tandem
receiving credit for the units that are built prior to construction of any office development, but
would like to see additional units being built.
Dick Schuster stated that his interpretation of the Nexus Study leaves no doubt in his mind that
the creation of housing creates the need for affordable housing, therefore tie would not be in
favor of double counting mitigation requirements for office/industrial and residential mitigation.
Vera Gil stated that her interpretation was that if Tandem were required to provide 45 units,
some of those being market rate and some being rent capped; they would produce those units
through their own efforts and find someone else to produce them. iv(s. Gil added that anything
over that would be considered a residential development and the excess units would be subject to
the mitigation requirement. However. Bob Cowan's interpretation was if Tandem is causing
those units to be built and Tandem is also causing those excess units to be built and they would
i
® be taking credit for both then they would not be subieet to the mitigation requirement. Staffs'
�i overall concern is that the housing gets built and that there are low and very low units in the
mitigated units.
John Hailey is confident that Tandem and the City could work out the differences regarding the
below market units and rent capped units. At this point he is concerned about whether the
process works in reverse, i.e. housing being built before office/industrial is constructed and that
the credits would apply to Tandem.
Steve Smith commented on Tandem possibly selling the property to a commercial builder for
$30 square foot,taking an approximate 1.5 million and paying the in-lieu fee and the City not
getting any housing on that property. He further stated that his opinion was that City and
Tandem could reach a reasonable compromise where it is a win/win situation.
Steve Smith suggested that due to the lateness of the hour and the need to approve the remaining
agenda items that we need to continue this item and schedule a special meeting to discuss this in
more detail.
3. 1997 CDBG Request: Vera Gil presented the annual requests for CDBG funding. The
requests received this year were from the CCS Rotating Shelter, the affordable housing
placement program , Social Advocates for Youth. Social Advocates for Youth proposal is new
and does not meet the priorities- as set. However, the committee can recommend funding of
$9,375 for this year only. The program is for runaway or troubled youths to seek a "safe place"
until intervention can take place.
Mary.Ellen Chell explained the rotating shelter program and its value to the community and
success in helping to transition homeless men into full employment and housing. The affordable
housing program manages the BMR program and Chateau Cupertino. The demand for this type
of housing is extraordinary.
Andre Burnett. Outreach Counselor for Social Advocates .for Youth, spoke about the program
and explained the program as being a non-profit social & crisis intervention program for youth in
Santa Clara Valley. The purpose of this particular element of the program is to identify
businesses where teens can go when they are in trouble to wait for intervention trom a counselor.
The purposes of the request is to cover overhead, printing of flyers,cards to hand out to teens,
and small staff costs.
Vera Gil asked if the program has identified the target population here in Cupertino. She stated
that CDBG guidelines require that low and very low income families be target in order to
receive this funding. Mr. Burnett answered that he has spoken with CCS and will identify that
population and provide those numbers. Dick Schuster asked that program quarterly reports be
furnished to the committee.
Dick moved to accept staffs recommendation of this year's CDBG requests. Sylvia seconded.
Vote: 4-0
4. Request from the Housing Action Coalition to include AHC in Planning a conference:
Vera Gil read a letter from Leslee Coleman asking the City to join in an outreach program.
Kathy Robinson asked that the Committee defer this item until the next meeting.
Adjournment: 5:35

Gil stated that this is a continuation of the diFi.;,,ission held last week regarding Tandem request
for interpretation. Kathy Robinson summari2t.,,.' the committee's position following the last
meeting and wanted to let each member state his/her feeling in.regard to the request.
Steve Smith - Mr. Smith felt as though Tandem was doing something in good faith and if the
Committee does not approve, Tandem could sell to a commercial developer.
Dick Schuster- Mr. Schuster felt that it was clear that the City Council's first priority was for
commercial development, so this was not an issue. However, development of any housing
increases the need for affordable housing in the City.

Orrin Mahoney stated that this could be a precedent setting decision and that whatever decision
this committee makes, it should revisit the housing manual and clean up the language to address
this type of situation.
Jill Collins stated her belief that Tandem is causing this housing to be built and they should be
credited for the units.
Sylvia Machamer commented that she would like to see this proposal go forward, but would also
like to reopen the housing mitigation manual to avoid a similar situation occuring in the future.
Steve Smith made a motion approving Tandem's reque,3t for consideration of banking their
mitigation units once the sale of its property is sold to a residential developer. However, the
developer would be required to provide 10% of the units as low and very low. The Committee
will revisit this part of the manual for clarification. Sylvia Machamer seconded.

OLD HUSINESS:
1. Request for minor modification (Judy Chen) - Vera Gil stated that this item is Judy Chen's
request for a minor modification for her proposal to build a BMR project with low income units.
She would like a few exceptions from what is specified in the Housing Mitigation Manual. Alter
a lengthy discussion regarding what Ms. Chen is proposing and subsequent Committee
comments, Ms. Chen re-thought her original request and proposed to:
® Build three market rate units, and three "for sale" BMR units in the pool with all the City
restrictions. These units would be moderate instead of median.
Vera Gil and other members of the committee expressed their concern regarding the fee waivers
along with the increase in rents passed on the the lower income clients. The Committee was in
agreement that Ms. Chen is already receiving significant waivers related to fees, but to further
subsidize her project and make it not as reasonable for low income residents may not be
appropriate.
Ms. Chen suggested that she would be willing to rent one:of the rental units at market rate, thus
reducing the other two units to the base rent.
Dick Schuster expressed his concerns that the committee is making yet another exception to the
housing mitigation manual and does not feel comfortable doing so.
Ms. Chen also agreed to look at offering one of the "for sale" units as median and the other two
at moderate. Vera Gil will put these options in writing for Ms. Chen to read over and agree to.
Dick Schuster felt that the manual should reflect the changes so that this does not set another
precedent. Vera stated that when the committee revises the manual they can incorporate
language regarding developers volunteering BMR units.
Steve Smith made a motion to approve 3 market rate "for sale" units and three affordable units(I
median income,BMR priced,2 moderate BMR priced)4 rental units(1 market rate,3 low
income rates);receive fee waivers for six affordable units. After receiving this information in
writing, Ms. Chen will review and agree upon these terms. At the same time,the Committee
agrees to amend the manual to reflect voluntary participation in the program. Sylvia Machamer
seconded.
VOTE: 3-1
2. Discussion with Leslee Coleman,Santa Clara Valley Manufacturing Group regarding
Housing Symposium: Vera Gil introduced Leslee Coleman from the Manufacturing Group.
Lessee Coleman explained that the Manufacturing Group had an idea regarding hosting a
symposium for"debugging" myths of affordable housing. Ms. Coleman stated that she would
like for the affordable housing committee to be the liason for the City of Cupertino. The day will
consist of a symposium during the early part of the day and a tour in the afternoon, with a dinner
being sponsored by corporate companies for elected officials.
Steve Smith volunteered to serve on the elected officials committee. Vera Gil's name will be put
on the general symposium mailing list for information.

regarding the Housing k1itigation manual. 1\4s. Gil stated that a member from the Planning
Commission, Housino Committee and Economic Development Team were to meet and discuss
proposed changes to the existing Housing Mitigation Manual. Each member commented on
his/her opinion, those comments are as follows:
Dick Schuster- Prefers cause to be built component remain in manual, and is against lowering
the in-lieu fee.
Jill Collins - Would like to see the City be more competitive with other cities, but felt that the
cause to be built component and in-lieu fee remain the same, as this is our current means of
retaining and building any affordable housing in Cupertino.
Svi%,ia Machamer- \Would also like to the cause to be built language to remain the same as well
as the in-lieu fie.
Kathy Robinson - Agreed with the rest of the committee and further stated that she would like
Council to remain committed to oriainal housing mitigation and allow higher densitv.
Dick made motion to elect Kathy Robinson as representative to the sub-committee m Ming to

presented staff report referencing a letter from John Vidovich and his intentions to delete

would like to see the committee dery Mr. Vidovich's request stating that it has become
commonplace for apartment complexes to either provide laundry facilities within the unit or at
least on site. Her feelings were that since other units within the complex were receiving laundry
facilities in the their unit it would appear discriminatory. After a short discussion with
committee members, Sylvia Machamer motioned that the committee should not accept this as an
exemption to the housing mitigation manual regarding elimination of amenities. She further
stated that the committee should revisit Section 2.3.2 clarifying what the definition of amenities
are and which should remain standard.

committee did not agree on the fee, but decided to tbrward to the Council their range of fees (SO -
S5.00).

'1*he representative should stress that the "cause to be built" section be retained in the I-IlUllUal and
that the fee for office/industrial remain at $5.00 per square toot. A preferable tleC Would be
consistent with park and school fees. The Committee's agreed that Dick Schuster should attend

is to allow sales prices to remain the same. The Committee discussed the pros and cons of this

of one 3,000 square foot you might see two 1,500 square feet homes. No second of the motion

with the affordable life of units. No second of the motion was made.

1. Review and approval of affordable rents and sale prices: Vera Gil stated that approval of
affordable rents have been finalized and sale pries were continued from the meeting of July 10.
At the last meeting there were three different methods that were proposed and three members
present. Therefore the iiem was continued until today.
Dick Schuster shared I-,s reasoning for wanting the BMR units to remain affordable in perpetuity
and also to decrease the sales prices for BMR ownership units.
Jill Collins shared her rational and explained that she was in agreement with Dick Schuster
regarding the life of a BMR unit, but felt that the shift in the housing market is that many people
spend more than 30% of their income on their mortgage.
Steve Smith felt as though the sale prices should remain the same and that 3011/0 of a persons
income should be a benchmark for affordability. Mr. Smith also felt that there should be a range
link of how small a BMR unit could be reduced from the market rate units due to larger sized units
being constructed.

With the consensus of the group not changing, Dick Schuster moved to continue this item to the

I. Review and approval of new affordable rents and maximum sale prices: Vera Gil spoke
about the individual committee members feeling on maximum sale prices. Dick Schuster felt
that the prices should be lowered immediately; Jill Collins felt that the prices should remain the
same due to the 30% rule being applied as a financing tool. Kathy Robinson felt that prices
should be lowered, with the exception of anything in the pipeline. Sylvia NIachamer agreed with
Kathy Robinson. Kathy Robinson made a motion that sale prices for units in the pipeline remain
the same, but any ftiture units should be reduced so that buyers are not being required to pay
more than 30% of their income. Sylvia seconded the motion.
Vote: 3-1

2. Review sites with residential potential map to target potential sites for affordable
housing. Vera explained that there is a staff person working on this map to update any sites
available. The committee agreed to continue this item until the map is complete.
3. Discuss how the Committee can become more proactive in the affordable housing arena.
Jill Collins brought up the fact that the last person to own a BNIR unit after 30 years could
potentially sell and receive a windfall profit. Jill felt that a policy or mechanism should be in
place to assure Long term affordability. This might be accomplished by placing restrictions on
the deed of trust stating the first sale after the 30-year affordable price will allow the owner to
receive his costs plus a reasonable percentage of appreciation over the years, but place all other
monies into the affordable housing pool. Vera Gil stated that some cities institute a policy that
with every resale the 30 year restriction is re-applied.
Vera Gil mentioned that she would like for the committee to think about requiring developers use
Cupertino Community Services to place the BMR clients in BMR units due to the time and
energy spent training each developer's management personnel in screening. Jill Collins
suggested charging the developer a nominal fee to be paid to CCS for the screening of the BiV1R
units. Vera Gil explained that when changes are made to the Mititation Manual she will include
these amendments for the committee to review.

1. Consideration of Silent Second Program
Terry Ward explained how the silent second program operates. Mr. Ward proceeded to review
some of the tables which were ;ncluded in the housing committee packet. One of the tables
illustrates the return on investment that the bank and the city would receive. Essentially. the city
and the participating lender would provide equal aniOL1111S of funding for the second mortgages.
The bank would see a higher rate of return on investment since its risk is greater. Program
objectives are set by the city with Northbay Ecumenical I-tomes (NEI-]) acting as the city's agent
and administering the program.
Part ol'the Nortilbay Ecumenical I-Iomes responsibility is to stay in touch with individual
borrowers to encourage the borrowers to pay off the silent second at the earliest opportunity.
This is beneficial to the homeowner and the city.
Committee members discussed the program specifics with Mr. Ward. A consensus was reached
by the committee that staff should explore this program further with Mr. Ward.
Kathy Robinson made a motion that staff further explore the silent second program. Jill Collins

OLD BUSINESS:
1. City Council hearing on CDBG Funding Requests: Ms. Gil reviewed the council report on
CDBG funding and explained the addition of a tabie regarding staffing costs. Because of the
decrease in public service funding, th, —'ity Council asked the Committee to explore funding,
Cupertino Community Services from the housing mitigation revenue fund. Staff has approached
the City Attorney for a legal opinion on funding services from the 11OLIS111" mitigation Ives. -\
letter from the City Attorney regarding the use of funds was presented to the committee, I'lic
City Attorney is of the opinion that funding the aff'ordable placement program could be fundcd
by in-lieu fees, but the Rotating Shelter program Should not. I-le also noted that funds should
ideally be utilized for construction, conversion ol' existing market rate units !o aff'ordablt: and
down payment assistance or second mortgage programs.
}
Ms. Gil stated that Cupertino Community Services is requesting funding of $25,000 I'm the
affordable placement program. Staff warned the committee that funding public service activities
from the housing mitigation fees may set a dangerous precedent for future funding cycles. Staff
and the committee discussed options for controlling the amount of funds that Cupertino.
Community Services could request from the housing mitigation program in the future but ottler
funding options were not recommended. It was agreed upon that a sub-committee should
establish program goals and the dollar value of each goal prior to next year's CDBG funding
cycle and also add variety of ways that staff could control options for controlling amount of
funds.
After a lengthy discussion, the Committee recommended taking $17.779 from in-lieu fees to
fully fund the affordable placement program. This action would disencumber funds in the public
service category of the CDBG program and allow the Rotating Shelter and the Senior Adults
Legal_ Assistance programs to be funded at their requested amounts. Dick Schuster made the
motion Kathy Robinson seconded.

showing the account balance from the housing fund -which includes revenue from the Sin-irns
House, Mitigation Fees, as well as expenditures. The balance is approximately 1.6 million. 'Vera
Gil presented a map of the City showing the affordable properties with the exception of.,the 13MR
apartments. After a discussion of the properties and what the clientele consists of'. the committee
was pleased with the number of units throughout the City.
2. Address letter from William Wickwire re yak, SRO housing: Dick SC11LISM' spoke about
Mr. Wickwire's dedication to providing affordable housing, more specifically SRO
R _
y
developments within Cupertino. Mr. Schuster felt that this committee should seek out relevant.
available resources so that something like this might be developed here in the City.
Mr. Wickwire mentioned that the property located at the corner of Stevens Creek Boulevard and
DeAnza may be an ideal spot for a SRO development. Ms. Gil stated that the property is owned
and currently an application has been filed for development. This, in her opinion, is not an
appropriate site for an SRO development. Dick Schuster mentioned that First Baptist Church at
Miller and Phil Lane may be receptive to the idea of selling their excess property to a non-profit
developer for affordable housing. Mary Ellen Chell stated that although the need for an SRO is

Gertrude Welch, representative for the Council of Churches of Santa Clara County, 111('61-11led
committee of 110 pastors that are writing letters on the housing crisis in Santa Clara County and
are also holding a press conference in San Jose to speak on this issue. Tile pastors are seeking
millions of dollars in redevelopment money to be used for very low ilIC0111C housing.
NEW BUSINESS:
1. Discussion of planning application 6-Z-98,6-U-98, Judy Chen, 7359 Rainbow Drive:
Vera 611 explained that applicant is requesting to rezone the property to a lesser density and is
also applying for a use permit to construct eight towillionles. The Current zoning requires 1,0111. of
the eight units to be affordable. Ms. Chen is now requesting that all the Luilts be designated
market rate.
Marc Hynes, Attorney for Ms. Chen spoke on her behalf regarding the process she has gone
through with this particular application. Mr. Ilyries stated that Ms. Chen has tried to work within
the parameters set by the City Council, Planning Commission and stall'. Financing the p.irccl has
been difficult at best and requiring four of the eight towilhomes to be affordable is not leasibie.
AWL Dick Schuster and Kathy Robinson questioned what makes the original plan infeasiblee since it
appeared feasible when originally submitted. Ms. Chen stated that when the parcel was re-zoned
a use permit application was not submitted, therefore financing and actual plans were never
approved.
.Kathy Robinson made motion to approve staff recommendation of requiring two BMR
ownership units. If financing cannot be obtained. then Ms. Chen can return to the l lousing
Committee to lower number of BMR units.
Cecilia Fu asked Ms. Chen if she had sought financing within the current market. Ms. Chen said
she has not talked to a lender. Ms. Fu encouraged Ms. Chen to call her at Cupertino National
Bank and she would refer her to a staff member or other lending institution that might be able to
help her in financing this project.

Cecilia has a full term to complete. Kathy Robinson stated she would defer to Cecilia if she was

Vote: 3-0
3. Discussion of rehabilitation program strategies: Kathy Robinson stated that this item was
placed on the agenda because the City Council suggested that a re-evaluation of the program take
place and possibly changed and/or expanded to include other activities. Robert Cowan stated
that Councilman Statton was most interested in re-focusing the rehab program to those blighted
are in the City (primarily apartment areas). Although the rehab program is targeted at single
family homes, Councilman Statton felt that the areas needing assistance would be Greenwood
Court, Park Circle, Beardon Drive.
Kathy Robinson asked if multi-family units were excluded in the program or if there is a
percentage of single family versus multi-family units being r;;iiabbed. Mr. Cowan stated that no
multi-family units were being rehabbed with the exception of the non-profits that were given
loans. "The question was then asked who would be the qualifying person'? Kathy Robinson
stated that in her experience the residents would have to income qualify and annual certifications
be performed or either non-profits be given the loans, therefore qualifying a "property owner'
would not be necessary.
Robert Cowan stated that another alternative would be to shift these funds to CCS and they
construct units for very low and low income individuals. Mr. Cowan stated it might be hard to
find property owners who, in order to qualify for low interest loans, would have to keep rents
down.
Dick Schuster stated that staffs.recommendation was for the committee to evaluate the
effectiveness of the rehab program. In order for the committee to accomplish this they need
additional information:
• Record of at least three or four year, more if possible the number of loans, the remounts
of the loans, general work completed, interest and fees, and location.
• Loan portfolio from USE.
• Dumber of outstanding loans and total value.
• Balance of rehab fund.
Yvonne Kelley stated that historically over the past three years, loans have ranged 1'ron! I to '_
loans per year whereas there are three loans in the pipeline as we speak with retie that is in the
preliminary stage. These loans are not in the unincorporated areas, but the City proper.
lZobert Cowan stated that we currently have $273.000 in the fund, but with an aveRigc loan
ranging from 35,000 to 40.000 this money could be utilized quickly.
Dick Schuster stated that lie was concerned about the escrow company \\C currently use toll the
high fees that are being paid by clients. lle stated that staff should do a better- joh of,1111i61-11i1111
applicants of all fees. Yvonne Kelley stated that all her clients are informed of all fees when they
sign loan documents.
Robert Cowan stated that staff will:
Define present program
o Give recent loan history
o Look at areas that are blighted
Kathy Robinson asked whether staff could get a breakdown of owners of blighted property. She
stated that staff would still have to sell the owners on securing a loan to bring their property up to
par. Mr. Cowan stated yes this can be accomplished through metro scan, a database program
with property ownership throughout Santa Clara County.
Yvonne Kelley stated that we should take into consideration property owners and the history of
them maintaining their property. We could get into a situation where we loan most or all ol'our
rehab money to a property owner who does not properly maintain his/her property belore the
loan and does nothing to ensure the property is maintained after the rehab.
Robert Cowan mentioned that Council had just approved a blight ordinance for the City and this
may help with some of the areas that are suggested as blighted. Mr. Cowan said he would ask
Vera to include a copy of the blight ordinance in the committee's next packet.

Kelley, staff felt that the rehab account balance is not sufficicill ellougl-, to take ojlj multi-unit

Santa Clara County is also looking into instituting a similar program countywide therelore this
committee might want to wait until the County makes their recommendation.
® 3. Housing needs assessment: Dick Schuster stated that a few years a,,o the education
committee designed a brochure and worked on outreach to neighborhoods educating them on
affordable housing. Suggestions were made to update the brochure and re-circulate. Mr.
Schuster felt that the education of the public on affordable housing is tantamount to people
accepting affordable developments in their neighborhood. He also felt that a needs assessment
might be helpfid in educating the public on affordable housing. After a lengthy discussion, the
committee decided a needs assessment is not necessary. Instead more emphasis should he placed
on education.

1. Review of Housing Committee's position on Judy Chen application 6-Z-98,6-U-98,7359
Rainbow Drive: Vera Gil stated that Dick Schuster's memo to the Housing Committee
addressed the issue of whether or not the applicant, Judy Chen, would have to provide BMR
units. Mr. Schuster felt the committee as will as the Planning Commission and City Council
should follow the guidelines as stated in the General Plan and Municipal Code regarding
conversion of apartments to condominiums. Bob Cowan stated that he is in agreement with
this committee, but the policy is not explicit as it does not address the demolition of
apartments and re-zoning of R-3 properties.
After a lengthy discussion, Dick Schuster made a motion to require the applicant to provide
comparable replacement housing and to accommodate current residents of' the complex,
adhere to the policy which would allow the applicant to resubmit her project ('61lowing six
consecutive months of local rental vacancy rates over 5%. and recommend the applicant be
advised to withdraw her application until her project meets the requirements of the Cupertino
General Plan. The motion died due to lack of a second.
Joseph Coddington made a motion to require applicant to provide two BMR units, re-word
General Plan so that "conversion" be substituted with "replace'; that the applicant be asked

1. City Council decision on consideration of General Plan Amendment for Diocese to
evaluate payment of In-Lieu fees versus BMR units on site. Bob Cowan stated that the
vote was a 3-2 vote in favor of the General Plan Amendment to pay in-lieu fees.
Councilmembers Dean and Burnett voted no. Mr. Cowan stated that the Committee needed
to either begin discussion today or schedule a special meeting to identify issues and forward
recommendations to the City Council. The Committee discussed the possibilities of what
construction could take place if the City accepted the in-lieu fees to build units throughout
the city. It was suggested that the City would need more than 1.8 million to purchase land
and construct units. It was also Kathy Robinson's opinion that a large amount of money
from the O'Brien Group could not purchase land for low and very low income, because
Cupertino is pretty much built out. Sylvia Machamer was concerned about the ethnic
balance of the community. Joseph Coddington felt that the need 1-op more than 18 units
exists and therefore would support accepting in-lieu fees to build elsewhere.
Kathy Robinson pointed out that Cupertino has had less than 1,8 "tor sale" BMR's over the
past 17-18 years thereby preventing young households from purchasing "starter" housing in
Cupertino.
Mary Ellen Chell read a letter stating her opinion of the housing situation in Cupertino and
what Cupertino Community Services intent to apply for the funds to construct housing for
low and very-low income households in Cupertino.
Gertrude Welch, Council of Churches spoke in favor of the Committee asking for in-lieu
fees for the Diocese site with help being giver to Cupertino Community Services.
Cecilia Fu felt that we have 18 units for sure on the Diocese site. With in-lieu fees., we
would not know when and if we could build something to accommodate the low and very
low income.
Kathy Robinson asked how much money was in the affordable housing fund. Vera Gil
replied that we have 1.6 million. Kathy Robinson felt that this amount could be utilized to
acquire property to build something affordable.
Vera Gil suggested that the committee either makes a recommendation today or reconvenes
at a later date after having conducted preliminary research. Joseph Coddington felt that he
would like information on other options available.
The committee agreed after some discussion that the members should divide up
issues/information and conduct research on these items. At the next meeting the committee
would review the information and make recommendations to the council..

NEW BUSINESS:
Vera Gil commented on a meeting today with the Housing Bond Advisory Committee meeting.
She reported that this committee oversees the Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) program
countywide and they have accumulated a housing trust fund through the MCC program. This
money has been used in the past to fund projects such as CHD and other projects throughout the
county at approximately $100,000 each. This committee would like to take $300,000 from this
fund and use it towards a silent second program. The City Council has discussed this issue
during a December council meeting and asked staff to explore the possibility of initiating it
program to serve young families starting out in Cupertino. This is an opportunity to piggyback
with the County program. Ms. Gil suggested funding CCS its request of 1.6 million dollars. but
utilize as much of the CDBG funds as possible with the remainder coming; from the. BMR in-lieu
fees. This would allow us the flexibility of not only funding GCS's request but also considering
the silent second mortgage program.
1. Request from Cupertino Community Services for funding to purchase Property from
County Fire:
Mary Ellen Chell spoke to the committee outlining their plans to purchase property at Vista and
Stevens Creek. She explained that CCS is waiting for the County to surplus the property, which
is a little over an acre. The plans call for a 6.000 square foot office. which CCS will be
responsible for and put 24 one and two bedroom apartments for low and very low 11I.e011le
families. Mary Ellen stated that they have contracted with BRIDGE Housing to develop tile
property and "turn-key" it when the construction is completed. Mary Ellen mentioned that CCS
chose BRIDGE Housing because of other affordable projects they have built throughout the
County and their willingness to build in Cupertino. Other agencies were not as enthusiastic or
did not have the reputation that BRIDGE has.
Mary Ellen Chell stated that Council is in favor of this project as it stands with the prospect of
contracting with Bridge Housing.
Vera Gil informed the committee that Kathy Robinson had left a message stating she would he
unable to attend the meeting today due to an unforeseen problem. Vera stated she had hoped that
Kathy could look at the information from her memo of November 2"d to the Committee and
explain changes that have occurred in the pro-forma. Vera circulated copies of the memo so that
the committee could discuss.
Dick Schuster asked if CCS's intention was to break out the costs of the office space from the
residential. Mary Ellen replied that that was correct. Dick also asked about a bank loan, is
financing from a bank part of this proposal? Lydia Tan stated that financing is still in flux and
part of the reason is because negotiations are still in the process with the County regarding
acquisition of the site. The County has stated they would like a "ground lease" instead of having
BRIDGE acquire it from them. Mary Ellen also stated that the City Manager suggested looking
into acquiring a short-term loan from the City and repaying with the money the city will acquire
after it becomes an entitlement city in 2000. Mary Ellen expects that $500,000 annually is
expected from CDBG funding after entitlement status. Dick Schuster strongly suggested that
CCS and BRIDGE try to secure financing through a bank and not rely on borrowing money Irom
the city reserves. Mary Ellen stated that she had spoken with Don Allen at Cupertino National
Bank.
Lydia Tan reiterated that they are looking at all alternatives for funding, but needed to approach
this committee for approval of the 1.6 million dollars to be set aside in preparation of the site
being put on the market and the ability to purchase.
Dick Schuster asked about the $50,000 demolition price. Lydia 'ran stated this Ice is fir lire
station. demolition. Ms. Tan also stated that this is in negotiation. The committee went through
the costs and figures for the protect and Lydia "Can explained each cost.
Dick Schuster asked if staff could provide the committee with repayment figures ol'current loans
i.e., Community Housing Developers loan .for the Tantau project.
Dick Schuster made a motion to commit $1.6 million to CCS with up to $500.000 li,r prc-
development in acquiring the site at Vista and Stevens Creek. Cecilia Fu seconded

1. Amendments to Dousing Mitigation Manual: Vera Gil stated that she would like to go (.)vcr
amendments to the Housing Mitigation Manual. This is normally done on an annual basis and
recommendations are then forwarded to Council. Vera Gil stated that slv� included a copy oi'a
memo from Mary Ellen Chell a.rd that City Council had asked the committee to look at changing
the priority system for 13MR units to include public employees as a first priority.
Mary Ellen Chell stated that Cupertino Community Services has concerns regarding; the
affordable units and the placement and qualifying of individuals. IViary Chen stated that C CS
would Like this committee to "tighten up" the guidelines for individuals applying for allordabic
units. An example would be one couple who applied for a DMR unit; both quit their jobs and the
husband went back to school and the wife was doing daycare in order to quality. This couple
had made $80.000 the previous year. These are the types of situations CCS has li►und
themselves involved in. Her question is does the committee want to support these tyres of
individuals who have the ability to afford market rate, but choose to lower their earning rower in
order to qualify for a BMR unit? Mary Ellen stated that Carolyn Kiely, who administers the
BMR placement, has a list of issues she encounters on a daily basis.
Carolyn Kiely stated that the list contains about 18 items (with recommendations) that she
encounters and would like some direction as to how to address them. One of the main concerns
deals with the priority list stating that people who work in Cupertino are eligible. Ms. Kiely said
that she gets very creative people who do things such as babysitting or even cleaning homes so
they qualify under this guideline. Another issue is category three, which talks about Iamily
members living in Cupertino. This is a gray area because there is no definition liar family. The
other main issue would be DeAnza students. Most of these students do not income qualify and if
two or more students were to combine their income, they would not qualify. The students get
frustrated due to their illusion of possibly getting housing, then never really being able to.
Carolyn talked about those applicants who own property out of state or even the country, and
because they don't have to include on California taxes, they are exempt from specifying on the
BMR application.
After a lengthy discussion on the issues revolving around the Below Market Rate units, the
committee agreed that procedural changes need to be made relative to the BMR program.
The Committee went through the entire manual and recommended changes, additions, and
deletions.
Vera Gil stated that she would continue this item so that changes can be made to the I lousing
Mitigation Manual as well as addressing those concerns outlined by Carolyn Kiely.
Dick Schuster asked for an update on the Rehabilitation Loan Portfolio as well as the existing
loans.

Kathy Robinson asked staff to distribute a four page memo regarding sites located within
Cupertino that have a general plan designation of moderate to high density. Staff is
recommending that these sites be designated at a lower density due to their surroundings. Kathy
Robinson stated that she attended the Environmental Review Committee meeting at which time
the committee granted a.negative declaration based upon the finding that lowering the density
would not have any significant environmental impacts.
Bob Cowan stated that this discussion was part of the Council work program triggered by an
application to tear down a single family home near Sunnyview Manor. Tile Council felt there
might be other pockets of high-density general plan designations with surrounding areas being
lower density. After review by the I'larnning Commission and City Council, the City Council
felt that it was advisable to look at the City as a whole and change,the designations as
appropriate.

Ms. VanZoren. stated that she had spoken to a representative from the Housing ;authority and
asked whether this might be possible. The representative replied that in the past this would have
been considered double dipping, but with the current lack of affordable housin" situation, She
would be in favor of allowing this to occur. Dick Schuster asked about the percentage ol'Section
8 holders that are developmentally disabled. No one seemed to know what the percenta-c was
offhand. There was a lengthy discussion with questions and brainstorming on how to solve the
problem for housing the developmentally disabled persons who may have financiai assistance
from family members, but do not have enough monthly income of their own to dualil'y.

available. Vera Gil stated that there have been abuses of the program and the policies are pretty
much set as to how we will continue to administer it. Vera also stated that due to the developer

Letter from Don Burnett
Oral Communications:
Gertrude Welch expressed her pleasure that someone is addressing the loss of affordable housing
in Cupertino. Janet Van Zoeren also expressed that the City should be looking at all options
regarding ,iffordable housing.
Janet Van Zoeren mentioned that the City of Cupertino has an opportunity to purchase property
on Cleo Avenue from Cal Trans. The property is considered surplus and thus is made available
to municipal governments for a variety of uses prior to being made available to the general
public. Habitat for Humanity is interested in working with the city to develop the site for
affordable housing. The committee talked about some of the site developiricnt issues they may
face with this development.
NEW BUSINESS:
1. Request from City Council to review city policy as it pertains to the redevelopment
of existing, apartment complexes. Vera Gil stated that Mayor Station was concerned
that apartment complexes are considering redeveloping which may result in higher rents
for the new units. The increasing rents may displace long-term, fixed-income residents.
Vera Gil stated that while the city doesn't want to discourage redevelopment and
renovation of older apartment complexes, we would like the complexes to maintain some
affordability. Dick Schuster suggested reviewing the fee structure for developers (in-lieu
fees). The consensus of the committee was to work on creating a policy which will:
• Make some provisions so individuals are not displaced because of rental increases or
require the developer to provide relocation assistance.
• Re-evaluate the Below Market Rate (BMR) program fees..
• Create a policy that retains affordability, but does not discourage redevelopment
The committee agreed that they will consider ways to resolve the problem posed by
redeveloping sites. Each committee member i,,ill bring a>> idea to the next committee
meeting in June for discussion.
2. Update on proposed housing development in Cupertino. Vera Gil shared with the
committee a proposed application for a mixed-use project from Finn Brothers who will
be developing the former F.J. Mulligans site at Stevens Creek and Blaney. There are
approximately 50 housing units proposed on the back of the site.
Vera Gil also shared with the Committee the City Center proposed 206-unit apartment
complex at Stevens Creek and DeAnza, along with a hotel, which should be going to City
Council on June 19.
The Vista Drive project has been ongoing, working with the neighbors to propose a
design and submit an application to the City for approval. CCS has been fund raising for
their portion of this project.
Announcements:
Linda Asbury informed the committee that. she will be attending a housing summit in
