DISCUSSION The Bristol Corridor Specific Plan, approved by the City Council in 1992 includes street improvements on Bristol Street from Pine Street to Third Street. These improvements are needed to improve traffic flow, which is currently operating at an unacceptable level of service. Construction of these improvements is estimated to begin in the fall of 2006. To accommodate the widening, it is necessary to acquire the property located at 1249 W. First Street (Exhibit 1). The tenant, Apollo Muffler, has been operating in this location over thirty years serving the local residents of Santa Ana and the surrounding auto dealers in the cities of Garden Grove, Orange, and Fountain Valley. The Uniform Relocation Assistance Act requires the City to pay the relocation costs of the businesses displaced by the widening project. The acquisition agreement will authorize the acquisition of the tenant's immovable fixtures and equipment, and a payment for loss of business goodwill for $63,270. The relocation agreement authorizes payment of a business relocation claim for $420,297. Staff is separately negotiating with the owner of the real property to purchase his interest. 25J-1
