If the change of use occurs within five years of the project being audited and <br />closed, income from the disposition of the real property will be returned to the <br />City's HUD programs; and <br />Following the reimbursement of the federal program pursuant to the above <br />paragraph of this section, the property is no longer subject to any federal <br />requirements. <br />2. Real Property Acquisition <br />All real property acquisition activities described in this section and funded in whole or <br />in part with CDBG funds and all real property that must be acquired for an activity <br />assisted with Federal funds, regardless of the actual funding source for the acquisition, <br />are subject to the URA (as amended). <br />Real property acquisition is any acquisition by purchase, lease, donation, or otherwise, <br />including the acquisition of such interests as rights -of -way and permanent easements. <br />HUD Handbook 1378 and 49 CFR Part 24 currently contains such regulations. These <br />regulations detail a standard procedure for acquiring property and methods of <br />determining a purchase price and outline other documents that must be provided to <br />the City before disbursement of funds. These regulations further require the applicant <br />to provide relocation payments and assistance to any business or residential <br />occupant of the property whom the acquisition will displace. <br />3. Eligible Activities <br />The City, or its subrecipient may acquire real property for a project using CDBG funds <br />where the proposed use of the acquired property will be an activity that the City can <br />demonstrate as beneficial to low- and moderate -income persons. <br />4. Environmental Review Process (24 CFR Part 58) <br />HUD requires that all real property acquisition projects be reviewed before the <br />commitment of Federal funds to assess the impact of a project on the environment. <br />The City will undertake this review process. The applicant should be aware, however, <br />that this review process may delay the date by which CDBG funds may be available <br />and, in case of serious adverse environmental impacts, may effectively stop a project. <br />City of Santa Ana <br />Citizen Participation Plan I April 2020 <br />Page 27 <br />75B-48 <br />
