INTRODUCTION
This memo presents for your concurrence a project selected for a rehabilitation grant
award for FY2021.
BACKGROUND
The Downtown Rehabilitation Loan Program provides several incentives from the
Economic Development Department for the rehabilitation of historic buildings in our
greater downtown.
This program has had a positive impact on the appearance and livability of our
downtown, which leads to a more attractive business and residential environment. The
Economic Development Department also finds these programs to be great tools for
attracting and retaining a quality workforce for our businesses.
DISCUSSION
For this property, staff have perFormed a "Good Neighbor Inquiry" with Building
Services, Engineering, Finance, Health, Housing, Legal, Planning, Police, Public Works,
and Utility Billing for any concerns based on these or other properties owned by the
applicant.
Our staff have confirmed that funds are available in the Downtown Rehabilitation Loan
Program for this project.
1575-1577 Washinqton Street
Application received July 1, 2020 for the Housing Incentive Grant.
The building owner, Gabriel Mozena, plans to create two (2) new market-rate housing
units. Funding this Housing Incentive Grant would align with the City Council's goal of
Creating Livable Neighborhoods and Housing: A Great Place to Live.
The Good Neighbor Inquiry on this owner and property produced no issues. I
recommend funding the Housing Incentive Grant at $20,000 maximum from CIP
3602438.
