x. NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACT REPORT AS WARRANTED BY THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS Section 33352(m) of the CRL requires that the Agency's Report to the City Council contain a neighborhood impact report if the redevelopment project contains low or moderate income housing. The purpose of the neighborhood impact report is to describe in detail the impact of the proposed actions upon the residents of the project area and surrounding areas in terms of relocation, traffic circulation, environmental quality, availability of community facilities and services, effect on school population and quality of education, property assessments and taxes, and other matters affecting the physical and social quality of the neighborhood. The neighborhood impact report is also to include: (a) the number of dwelling units housing persons and families of low or moderate income expected to be destroyed or removed from the low and moderate income housing market as part of the redevelopment project; (b) the number of persons and families (households) of low or moderate income expected to be displaced by the project; (c) the general location of housing to be rehabilitated, developed, or constructed pursuant to Section 33413 of the CRL; (d) the number of dwelling units housing persons and families of low and moderate income planned for construction or rehabilitation, other than replacement housing; (e) the projected means of financing the proposed dwelling units for housing persons and families of low and moderate income planned for construction or rehabilitation, and (f) a projected timetable for meeting the relocation, rehabilitation and replacement housing objectives. Neighborhood impact reports for each of the constituent Project Areas that comprise the Merged Project Area were a required component of the Reports to the City Council prepared for each of the Redevelopment Plans when they were initially adopted and are incorporated herein by reference. The following sections update, as warranted by the proposed Amendments, the neighborhood impact report for the Merged Project Area. A. IMPACT ON RESIDENTS IN THE PROJECT AREAS AND SURROUNDING AREAS 1. Relocation As previously stated, the primary purpose of the proposed Amendment is to merge the Project Areas by combining tax increment revenues from the Project Areas and allocate the revenues throughout the entire Merged Project Area. The proposed Merged Project Area contains residential dwelling units, a portion of which are assumed to be occupied by low or moderate income persons or families. Any non-voluntary or voluntary displacement which occurs as a result of Agency redevelopment activities will be mitigated by relocation assistance including financial payments, advisory assistance, and replacement housing plan provisions of state law relating to Agency assisted developments. These provisions are further described in the Agency's Method or Plan for Relocation, which is included in Section VI of this Report.
