ITEM 4-HOUSING UPDATE <br /> Chairperson Anthony said the Locust Street Shelter made a request for <br /> approximately $80,000.00 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) <br /> funds at the May 2 City Council meeting and the City Council appropriated <br /> $50,000.00 towards the program. A representative of the Locust Street Shelter <br /> advised the Council that if they did not receive the full amount they <br /> originally requested, they might have to shut down. Vice Mayor Claire <br /> explained the history of funding for the Shelter and suggested that they be <br /> funded the full amount as they had been from the start of the program with <br /> the difference of $30,000.00 coming from the City's general fund. <br /> Chairperson Anthony said the Planning Commission approved a zoning <br /> change recently which would assist in the availability of senior housing. <br /> Property owners can now construct another unit of 1,000 square feet or less on <br /> their property and the requirement of frontage width of their property has <br /> been reduced from 60 to 50 feet. They also must be able to provide another <br /> parking space for this additional unit. There are no provisions proposed at <br /> this time for another senior housing facility in Redwood City. <br /> Superintendent Hartman said she will get an update on the Rolison Road <br /> properties recently acquired by the City and the Whipple Lodge location. This <br /> information will be presented at the June meeting. <br /> ADDITIONAL ANNOUNCEMENTS <br /> -Superintendent Hartman announced William Adams of the General <br /> Services Department would be available to provide an update of the water <br /> rates at our June meeting. Mr. Adams will also be making a presentation on <br /> the same subject at the Fun After Fifty meeting on May 17. <br /> -Chairperson Anthony introduced Bernard Scheier who has applied for a <br /> position on the Senior Affairs Commission. <br /> The regular meeting of the Senior Affairs Commission was adjourned at <br /> 10:30am to be reconvened at 9:00am on Wednesday, June 8, 1994 to be held at <br /> the Fair Oaks Senior Center, 2600 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, California. <br />
