TEXAS:
SECTION 1. That Section 49-21 of the Code of Ordinances of the City
of Corpus Christi, Texas, as amended, be amended by changing subsection (C.II)
thereof to hereinafter read as follows:
(C.II) Assessment policy, projects funded by community
development block grant funds. The following assessment
policy will apply to street assessment projects funded
in part by community development block grant funds
through the federal department of housing and urban
development (HUD).
(1) Property being used for one or two-family
residential dwellings will be assessed at the
special residential rate described in subsection
(C.I) herein.
(2) Low to moderate income residents who own and occupy
property as a homestead being assessed at the
special residential rate as described in subsection
(C.I) herein will be eligible to receive a grant
from community development block grant funds for the
entire amount of such assessment. Eligibility for
such a grant shall be determined by the city, upon
application by the property owner, according to the
following criteria:
(a) Low to moderate income is defined as not
exceeding one hundred twenty percent (120%) of
the applicable income limitations established by
HUD for programs under Section 8 of the
Community Development Act of 1974, as amended.
(b) In the event an application reveals
extraordinary hardship expenses for items such
as medical expenses, continuing care, etc.,
which exceed twenty percent (20%) of the total
family income, the strict application of the low
to moderate income definition stated above may
be waived by the city.
Participants who do not meet the above criteria at
the time the assessments are made but who meet the

(3)
requirements at some time during the payment of the
assessment due to declining income or other hardship
shall be eligible to receive a grant for the remaining
balance of such assessment.
The absentee owners of residential property (one or
two-family dwellings) will be offered low interest
community development fund loans for the purpose of
paying street assessments providing the property is
occupied by low income tenants who meet the income
limitations established by HUD for Section 8
programs. These loans will be administered by the
city.
(4) Commercially used property and property other than
one or two-family residential property not
qualifying for low income provisions will be
assessed in accordance with the other provisions of
this section.
SECTION 2. That upon written request of the Mayor or five Council
members, copy attached, to find and declare an emergency due to the need for
immediate and effective administration of City affairs by amending the street
assessment policy as aforementioned, such finding of an emergency is made and
declared requiring suspension of the Charter rule as to consideration and voting
upon ordinances or resolutions at three regular meetings so that this ordinance
is passed and shall take effect upon first reading as an emergency measure this
the 2nd day of November, 1983.
