S. 1SS5: 60 FR 56912, Nov. 9, 19951 § 570.208 Criteria for national objec- tives. The following criteria shall be used to determine whether a CDBG-assisted activity complies with one or more of the national objectives as required under § 510100(a) (2): (a) Activities benefiting low- and rnod- erate-incotre persons. Activities meeting the criteria in paragraph (a) (1), (2), (3), or (4) of this section as applicable, will be considered to benefit low and mod- erate income persons unless there is substantial evidence to the contrary. In assessing any such evidence, the full range of direct effects of the assisted activity will be considered. (The recipi- ent shall appropriately ensure that ac- tivities that meet these criteria do not benefit moderate income persons to the exclusion of low income persons.) (1) Area benefit activities. (i) An activ- ity, the benefits of which are available to all the residents in a particular area, where at least 51 percent of the residents are low and moderate income persons. Such an area need not be co- terminous with census tracts or other officially recognized boundaries bu must be the entire area served by th activity. An activity that serves area that is not primarily residenti in character shall not qualify under this criterion. (ii) For metropolitan cities and urb counties, an activity that would other wise qualify under § 570.208(a) (1) (i) ex cept that the area served contains le than 51 percent low and moderate i come residents will also be considere to meet the objective of benefiting to and moderate income persons whe the proportion of low and moderate i come persons in the area is within t highest quartile of all areas in the r cipient's jurisdiction in tennt of t degree of concentration of such pe sons. In applying this exception, H will determine the lowest proportion recipient may use to qualify an ar for this purpose as follows: an § 57G.208 al (A) All census block groups in the re- cipient's jurisdiction shall be rank or- dered from the block group of highest proportion of low and moderate income persons to the block group with the lowest. For urban counties, the rank ordering shall cover the entire area constituting the urban county and shall not be done separately for each participating unit of general local gov- ernment. (B) In any case where the total num- ber of a recipient's block groups does not divide evenly by four, the block group which would be fractionally di- vided between the highest and second quartiles shall be considered to be part of the highest quartile. (C) The proportion of low and mod- erate income persons in the last census block group in the highest quartile shall be identified. Any service area lo- cated within the recipient's jurisdic- tion and having a proportion of low and moderate income persons at or above this level shall be considered to be within the highest quartile. (D) If block group data are not avail- able for the entire jurisdiction, other *data acceptable to the Secretary may be used in the above calculations. (iii) An activity to develop, establish, and operate for up to two years after the establishment, of. a uniform emer- gency telephone number system serv- ing an area having less than the per- centage of low- and moderate -income residents required under paragraph (a)(1)(i) of this section or (as applica- ble) paragraph (a) (1) (ii) of this section, provided the recipient obtains prior an HUD approval. To obtain such ap- proval, the recipient must: (A) Demonstrate that the system will ss contribute significantly to the safety n_ of the residents of the area.

However, any subsequent use or disposition of the cleared prop- erty shall be treated as a "change of use" under 5570.505.

Nov. 9, 1995, 61 FR 18674, Apr. 29. 19961 § 570.209 Guidelines for evaluating and selecting economic develop- ment projects. The following guidelines are provided to assist the recipient to evaluate and select activities to be carried out for economic development purposes. Spe- cifically, these guidelines are applica- ble to activities that are eligible for CDBG assistance under § 570.203. These guidelines also apply to activities car- ried out under the authority of §570.204 that would otherwise be eligible under § 570.203. were it not for the involve- ment of a Community -Based Develop- ment Organization (CBDO). (This would include activities where a CBDO makes loans to for -profit businesses.) These guidelines are composed of two components: guidelines for evaluating project costs and financial require- ments; and standards for evaluating public benefit. The standards for evalu- ating public benefit are mandatory, but the guidelines for evaluating projects costs and financial requirements are not. (a) Guidelines and objectives for evalu- ating project costs and financlal require- ments. HUD has developed' guidelines that are designed to provide the recipi- ent with a framework for financially. 24 CFR Ch. V (4-1-99 Edition) underwriting and selecting CDBG-as- sisted economic development projects which are financially viable and will make the most effective use of the CDBP funds. These guidelines, also re- ferrod to as the underwriting guide- line$, are published as appendix A to this', part. The use of the underwriting guidelines published by HUD is not mandatory. However, grantees electing not to use these guidelines would be ex- pected to conduct basic financial un- derwriting prior to the provision of CD$G financial assistance to a for - profit business. Where appropriate, HUD's underwriting guidelines recog- nize that different levels of review are appropriate to take into account dif- ferences in the size and scope of a pro- posed project. and in the case of a migroenterprise or other small busi- nes''s to take into account the dif- fer nces in the capacity and level of so- phiistication among businesses of dif- fering sizes. Recipients are encouraged, when they develop their own programs and underwriting criteria, to also take these factors into account. The objec- tives of the underwriting guidelines are to ensure: (1) That project costs are reasonable; (2) That all sources of project financ- in are committed; f3) That to the extent practicable. CPBG funds are not substituted for non -Federal financial support: (4) That the project is financially fea- sible; (5) That to the extent practicable, the return on the owner's equity in- vestment will not be unreasonably high; and (6) That to the extent practicable, CpBG funds are disbursed on a pro rata basis with other finances provided to the project. (b) Standards for evaluating public ben- efit The grantee is responsible for making sure that at least a minimum level of public benefit is obtained from the expenditure of CDBG funds under the categories •of eligibility governed by these guidelines. The standards set forth below identify the types of public benefit that will be recognized for this purpose and the minimum level of each that must be obtained for the amount 62 SEOP�IiG`R _ �� ; , OCT-04-99 MON 02:18 PM CRA FAX NO. 3053724646 P.02 SOUTHEAST OVERTOWNIPARK WEST REDEVELOPMENT TRUST FUND DIVISIONAL BUDGET SUMMARY anWdW Es*nftd EVVIMM EVer�flhue�.
