Request for Funds - OEDP (Overall Economic Devel- Citk Engineer,
opment Program for the San Diego Region) to construct
Marron Road extension and municipal parking lot, �
and improvements in the downtown area. �F•�
Statement of the Matter
Exhibit (1) indicatee that 30% funding may be available in the San Diego
Region from the U.S. Economic Development .Adriinistration (FDA) for certain
public works projects which will result in the creation of new jobs.
While guidelines are not firmed up, staff is of. the opinion that
two_-grojects.6ay ,be eligible for funding; One is the, construction
of Maxron'Road extension and. a-2,300 spac4`municipal parking facility,
which will provide the impetus to the proposed expansion to Plaza
Camino Real shopping center. It is•estimated that such an expansion
wouid create 900 additional job opportunities for North County residents.
The second project will be several improvements in the downtown area.
While the number of jobs'to.be created from renovation of the downtown
area is difficult to estimate at this time, it is anticipated that a
significant number of permanent jobs would be�produced.
The first step in determining eligibility for funds is for the City
to submit a project summary for the project to OEDP General Committee
for the San Diego region for their consideration, prior#zation, and
inclusion in the revised OEDP.

EXPANDED FUNnING ELIGIBILITY FOR OEDP PROJECTS
ADMINISTRATOR
In August 1973 the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) approved
the Overall Economic Development Program (OEDP) for the San Diego Region
and designated this region as eligible for public works grants under Title I
of the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965, as amended.
Two recent developments have made the San Diego OEDP Region eligible for
higher levels of funding for a broadec range of activities:
1. Because of its,high unemployment rate, this region has been re—
designated as a Title IV.area and thus is eligible to receive
80% funding (instead of SOY) ,for public works projects, as well
as funding for business leans to privata enterprise and planning
grants.
2. Title IX has been added to the Act which allows funding for a
greater variety of projects:
public services
business development
planning
unemployment compensation (states only)
rent supplements
mortgage payment assistance
research
technical assistance -
training
relocation of individuals
other appropriate areas
Basic criteria for such Title -IX grants include actual threatened severe
unemployment arising from actions of the Federal government and from compliance
with environmental requirements which remove economic activities from -the
locality and economic adjustment problems resulting from severe changes in
economic condition.
The purpose of notifying you of these changes is to enable you to submit
project proposals to the OEDP General Committee in time for their consideration,
prioritizing and inclusion in the revised OEDP. This process will begin
in early December. While each jurisdiction in the region is responsible for
making its own grant application, EDA•£unding of projects is primarily based
-2-
on this region's assessment of problems and prioritization of projects
contained in the.OEDP.
Not much detail is known —at this time concerning EDA's funding levels.
However, if you have a project which you believe meets the above criteria
and would like it considered for HDA funding, you should.fiil out the
enclosed OEDP'Project Summary form and send it to the OEDp•General Committee,
Program Development Agency (Attn: Michael Shontz, Jr.). If you already
have a project(O in -the current OEDP., use the enclosed form to provide a
project update. If you have more than one project, put these on separate
summary sheets in -the same format: If'complete information is not available
Ea.t this Time of -not applicable-ta your proje;et, please note this but provide
as much- informatioa as possiole. The 6E6P Project'Summaries should be
received by this office no later than December 2', 1974. If you have any
-'questions please contact me ,at 236-2001.

Project Description and Purpose:
Recent co,=,ercial development, Plaza Camino Real, Plaza Del Norte and industrial/
business groodh; Cabot, Cabot & Forbes; Stillman Industries, Burroughs, Hughes
Aircraft, have had ar adverse impact on Carlsbad's traditioral retail and
residential center, "The Inner -City".
The City is developing programs to; eliminate structuraly deficient commercial
and residential structures through code enforcement; project public health and
safety by constructing storm drains; lowering railroad tracks; developing circulation
(pedestrian, auto, bicycle) systems and providing comprehensive public Inner-
Ciey Parking/Transit program.
The pftojects will lead to the revitalization of�a 3leteriorating, commercial/
residential core by enforcing structural deficiencies, increasing auto/pedestrian
dccPssability, assisting inter-depencient conniercial-residential and professional
development.
The project is intended to regenerate appro:;imately ten square blocks of the
Inner -City through:
a 11000,000 Planning and Code Enforcement
b 2,500,000 Public Works
c) 1,000,000 Land Acquisition
