SUBJECT:
Additional Information Regarding Recommendation to
Adopt Resolution Authorizing Sale of Property to
PORTALS for development of housing
INTRODUCTION
This report provides additional information regarding the recom-
mendation to authorize the sale of property to PORTALS, and pro-
vides copies of the public noticing done to date and a descrip-
tion of the noticing to be done upon receipt of State and Federal
grant funds. In addition, information is provided regarding the
use of the site for a child-care facility.
BACKGROUND
In response to a request from Councilmember Reed, this report
includes copies of the notices provided to the public in regards
to this proj ect.
As required by the Municipal Code a copy of
the approved public notice was posted on three places on the
property, including the garage door, the front door (west
facing), and the front door (south facing).
A copy of this
notice is attached as Exhibit 1. Also, a notice was published in
the ~veninq Outlook on Saturday, January 16th, and will be
pUbliShed again on Saturday, January 23rd, again in compliance
with the Municipal Code requirements regarding the sale of public
owned land. A copy of this notice is attached as Exhibit 2. In

to serve 75% lower income households. In order to economically
operate a child-care facility a minimum of 60 children must be
accommodated. To serve lower income households either operating
subsidies would be required or a greater number of children w~uld
be required. Based upon accept~d standards of necessary square
footage per child the existing structure and available outdoor
space are insufficient to accommodate any more than 20 - 30 chil-
dren.
In addition, the property is located in a high-density
residential area, zoned R-3, with a mix of multi-family and sin-
gle-family dwelling units. One of the problems experienced with
the lease of the property to Fraternal Endeavors was the incom-
patibility of a use dedicated to serving children with the sur-
rounding neighbors.
CONCLUSION
Given all the factors, including economics, available funding
sources, level of benefit to very low income persons, and zoning
and compatibility issues, it is staff's recommendation that the
property be sold to PORTALS for the development of permanent
housing for the special needs group identified, handicapped home-
less persons.
