OVERVIEW:

On August 5, 1997 (1), the Board directed the Chief Administrative Officer to develop a plan to modify or lift the Valley Center sewer moratorium. It was determined that a hydrological study of the Valley Center basin and an Environmental Impact Report are necessary to examine the impact of modifying or lifting the existing sewer moratorium. These elements were included as part of a workplan subsequently approved by the Board on September 16, 1997 (13). On April 28, 1998 (16), the findings of an interim report of the hydrological study of the Valley Center basin were presented to the Board.

Today, the Department of Environmental Health is presenting the results of the final report of the hydrological study of the Valley Center basin and an update on the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) to modify or lift the moratorium and waive Board Policy I-78, Small Wastewater Treatment Facilities. Data and findings from the completed hydrological study have resulted in a recommendation by the consultant that the moratorium can be removed.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funds for the request are budgeted. The funding source is Community Development Block Grant Funds. Appropriations of $192,000 and $159,000 were previously approved by the Board for the Basic Study and the EIR, respectively.

RECOMMENDATION:

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER:

1. Receive and file the final report on the hydrological study of the Valley Center basin.

2. Direct the Departments of Planning and Land Use and Environmental Health to return to the Board of Supervisors in June, 1999, with the final EIR and proposals for the Board to consider modifying or lifting the moratorium and permitting the use of alternative on-site sewage disposal systems.

7. SUBJECT: Sufficiency of Relocation Impact Report Related to Proposed Closure of Elfin Forest Vacation Village Mobilehome Park (MHP 97-01), San Dieguito Community Plan Area

OVERVIEW:

This is a request by several residents of the Elfin Forest Vacation Village Mobilehome Park, pursuant to Government Code Section 65863.7(d), for a hearing on the sufficiency of the Relocation Impact Report before closure of the mobilehome park. This mobilehome park is located in the San Dieguito Community Plan area, and is more than 30 years old. It has permits issued by the State of California for 39 mobilehome spaces, 36 travel trailer spaces, and 120 recreational vehicle trailer spaces. It is located on a 97-acre site at the intersections of Harmony Grove Road, Questhaven Road, and Elfin Forest Road. The property is zoned RV2 (Variable Family Residential Use Regulations), RMH3 (Mobilehome Residential Use Regulations), and A70 (Limited Agricultural Use Regulations) and is designated (17) Estate, (18) Multiple Rural Use, and (24) Impact Sensitive on the San Dieguito Community Plan.

RECOMMENDATION:

DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND LAND USE:

Accept the Relocation Impact Report for Elfin Forest Vacation Village as sufficient provided that it includes the following mitigation:

If, at the time of the move, there are no mobilehome space vacancies within the 30-mile radius, or if none of the mobilehome parks will accept an Elfin Forest unit due to its age or size or due to the tenant's familial status, the owners shall provide a lump sum payment to the tenant equivalent to the difference between the current space rent in the closing park and the rent in a comparable apartment unit or other rental housing alternative for a 24-month term, including any security and cleaning deposits, and bear the expense of removing and disposing of the un-relocatable mobilehome provided the mobilehome owner authorizes the park owner to remove and dispose of the unit. The park owner shall provide to each owner of an un-relocatable mobilehome a 60-day notice of intent to remove and dispose of the unit and that alternative rental housing has been secured for the tenant. If, by the end of the 60-day period, the owner fails to authorize the removal and disposal of the unit, the park owner may pursue all available legal remedies.

8. SUBJECT: Applications to the State of California for Allocations of Mortgage Credit Certificates in 1999

(Supv. Dist: All)

OVERVIEW:

This action requests approval for the County's participation in any 1999 applications to the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee (CDLAC) for up to a total of $75 million in allocations of mortgage credit certificates for the San Diego Regional Mortgage Credit Certificate Program (MCC Program).

The MCC Program is a home purchase assistance program that enables first-time homebuyers to receive a direct federal income tax credit equal to fifteen percent of the annual interest paid on their mortgage loan. The County serves as the lead agency and applicant for allocation requests made to CDLAC for the MCC Program. If CDLAC approves any of our 1999 allocation request, the amount approved would be proportionately divided between the County and the 15 cities who participate in the MCC Program.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funds for this request are budgeted. The funding source is Section 8, Earned Administrative Fees. If approved, this request will result in up to $56,250 in current year cost to pay for the County's proportionate share of the program operating costs, and this request will result in the County holding on deposit up to $50,000 in current year cost for the performance guarantee that is required by the State to receive an allocation of mortgage credit certificates. Additionally, if approved, this request will result in $56,250 in annual cost for the County's proportionate share of the program operating cost for Fiscal Year 1999-2000.

BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT:

The San Diego Regional MCC Program assists homebuyers in the purchase of their first home. The purchase/sales transactions provide a positive impact to the business community involved in real estate activities. Business that can benefit from home purchases and sales include real estate brokers, escrow companies, title companies, developers and real estate lenders.

RECOMMENDATION:

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER:

1. Approve the County's participation with the San Diego Regional MCC Program in any 1999 applications to the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee for up to a total of $75 million in mortgage credit certificates.

2. Authorize the Director of Housing and Community Development to submit applications to the CDLAC in 1999 for allocations of mortgage credit certificates of up to a total of $75 million.
