206 S. Flower Acquisition and Relocation Relocation Plan 1 INTRODUCTION The City of Santa Ana (“City”) plans to acquire one parcel containing a duplex building and demolish the existing residential units in order to facilitate the installation of a new ground water well at the site (“Project”). The addresses of the residential units are 206 and 208 South Flower Street, Santa Ana, CA 92703 (“Properties” or “Site”). Both of the residential units are tenant- occupied and are one-bedroom, one-bath units. The two households occupying the Properties will be permanently displaced as a result of the acquisition and proposed Project. The occupied Properties and the displaced occupants are the subject of this Relocation Plan (“Plan”). All existing occupants will be permanently relocated to facilitate the proposed Project. The City has retained Overland, Pacific & Cutler, a division of TranSystems, Inc. (“OPC”) to prepare the Relocation Plan and to provide relocation assistance to the households to be displaced. The City is utilizing local funds from the City of Santa Ana Water Services Department. The use of local funds from the City of Santa Ana triggers the requirements of the California Relocation Assistance Law, Government Code Section 7260, et seq. (“CRAL”) and the Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Guidelines adopted by the Department of Housing and Community Development as in Title 25, California Code of Regulations Section 6000, et seq. (“Guidelines”). This Plan conforms to both the CRAL and the Guidelines. As of the date of this Plan, the Project is expected to cause the permanent displacement of two tenant-occupant households that are eligible for relocation assistance. The needs and characteristics of the permanent displacees and the City’s program to provide assistance to each affected person are general subjects of this Relocation Plan (Plan). This Plan is organized in five sections: 1. Project description (SECTION I); 2. Assessment of the relocation needs of persons subject to displacement (SECTION II); 3. Assessment of available replacement housing units within proximity to the Project site (SECTION III); 4. Description of the City’s relocation program (SECTION IV); 5. Description of the City’s outreach efforts, Project timeline and budget (SECTION V).
