Public Works Agency <br />www.santa-ana.org/pw <br />Item # 39 <br />City of Santa Ana <br />20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br /> Staff Report <br />April 5, 2022 <br />TOPIC: Relocation Plan for Fairview Bridge Replacement and Street Improvements <br />AGENDA TITLE <br />Public Hearing – Adopt a Resolution Approving the Relocation Plan for Fairview Bridge <br />Replacement and Street Improvements (9th Street to 16th Street) (Project No. 15-6827) <br />(Non-General Fund) <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />Adopt a resolution approving the Draft Relocation Plan for Fairview Bridge Replacement <br />and Street Improvements (9th Street to 16th Street). <br />DISCUSSION <br />Fairview Street is classified as a north-south major arterial in the City’s General Plan <br />Circulation Element and the County of Orange Master Plan of Arterial Highways. <br />Improving Fairview Street from 9th Street to 16th Street (Exhibit 1) has been a long-term <br />priority project. The proposed project would widen Fairview Street from two lanes to three <br />lanes in each direction. Additionally, the Fairview Street Bridge would be replaced with a <br />new six-lane bridge (three lanes in each direction), including a complete bridge deck with <br />barrier rails, sidewalks, bicycle lanes, a raised landscaped median, and lighting. <br />Construction is anticipated to begin in Spring 2023. <br />To improve safety, the City is acquiring one property for sight distance purposes. <br />Pursuant to California Government Code, a public entity is required to adopt a relocation <br />plan by resolution whenever it enters into an agreement for acquisition of real property or <br />an agreement for the disposition and development of property which would lead to <br />displacement of people from their homes. In conformance with this provision, the City <br />prepared a Fairview Bridge Replacement and Street Improvements Relocation Plan <br />(Relocation Plan) to outline the requirements for moving and reestablishing displaced <br />residential and business occupants, and to demonstrate the level of advisory and financial <br />assistance that will be provided (Exhibit 2). Based on occupant interviews, needs <br />analyses, and searches for appropriate replacement sites, the total estimated relocation <br />cost is approximately $480,000. The resolution adopting the Relocation Plan requires City <br />Council approval before the property acquisitions can proceed (Exhibit 3).
