The rehabilitation of Garden Court Apartments requires 21 units to be unoccupied for the start of the four (4) separate phases referenced above. Based upon resident interviews conducted by Overland, Pacific and Cutler and current household and income information, it is currently anticipated the vacancy of these units will be achieved through the permanent relocation of nine (9) existing households that are currently over - income, six (6) existing vacancies that have been accumulated as of the date of the Staff Report, and the relocation of six (6) income -qualified households who will be relocated on a permanent basis but have the right of first refusal to return to Garden Court Apartments upon completion of the rehabilitation. All households permanently relocated from the property will be receive relocation benefits. The requirement to relocate income -qualified households may decrease to the extent additional units become vacant at the property due to normal turnover. At the time of relocation, C&C and OHDC will also work to relocate those income -qualified households to existing C&C/OHDC affordable communities in Santa Ana. The Relocation Plan as of June 27, 2024, is attached as Exhibit 2. With approval by the Agency, the Acting City Manager will approve any required amendments or modifications to the Relocation Plan, as reasonably necessary to implement the approval of the Regulatory Agreement to comply with reasonable conditions of financing for rehabilitation of the Project. Any changes to the final Relocation Plan will be consistent with the project and approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.
