RECENT IMPROVEMENTS
The Community Improvement Program contributes to the safety and aesthetic maintenance of public and private properties through requiring compliance with City codes regarding illegal signs, land use/zoning, inoperable vehicles, graffiti, public nuisances, and other hazards/violations that left unchecked, would harm citizens' health, welfare and safety. This program is carried out through field investigations, notification, citation issuance, public education and coordination with other agencies.

The primary activity of the Community Improvement program is enforcement of City Codes and Ordinances in response to public requests, field observation and as directed by City officials. The enforcement activity involves field inspections, responding to public inquiries in person, by telephone or writing, documentation of facts, review and research City files and archives, record keeping, issuance of citations, preparation of written communication to City Council, City Attorney and other City Officials. The Community Improvement Program is responsible for enforcement of the City's Zoning Ordinance, Business License Inspections, Home Occupation Inspections and various other codes or sections thereof.

The Community Improvement Program also reviews and oversees certain safety contracts. The check for compliance of terms of each contract. Another area of involvement for the Community Improvement Program involves the verification that specific conditions imposed on projects by the city, such as use permits, variance and signage, have been satisfied prior to occupancy.

 The Stanton Redevelopment Agency was formed in July, 1979, and expanded in 2000. The Agency operates as a separate legal entity from the City of Stanton with the budget and annual work program established by the City Council acting as the Agency Board of Directors. The Agency maintains four separate funds. One of which is the Low and Moderate Housing Fund. This fund contains monies which are required by redevelopment law to be "set aside" for use in preserving and expanding the city’s affordable housing stock. The primary objective of the city’s Housing Program is to preserve and increase the city’s supply of low and moderate income housing units. The Low and Moderate Housing Program supports the upgrading and expansion of affordable housing stock in the city through the use of grants, loans and other assistance to individual homeowners, private developers and other public entities.

As has been the case with previous recent budgets, housing matters will dominate the focus of the Redevelopment Agency. This focus will include a comprehensive restructuring of the City’s current Target Neighborhood Improvement Program, and the addition of first-time homebuyer and emergency shelter grant programs.

Activities and goals for subsequent fiscal years will include:

·  Restructuring the Target Neighborhood Improvement Program to address single and multifamily residential rehabilitation.

·  Work with the County of Orange to ensure that single family home improvement loans continue to be made within the city.

·  Construction and preservation of affordable houses.

·  Implement first-time homebuyer program.

·  Design emergency shelter grant program.

·  Merger of the city's two Redevelopment project areas.
