INTRODUCTION C&C Development Co. and Orange Housing Development Corporation ("the Developer") is in the processing of acquiring one property for their proposed affordable housing project, the Raiff Apartments Project in Santa Ana, CA ("the Project"). The Project site consists of .2 acres and is located at 702 S. Raiff Street. The site contains one structure housing 10 one- bedroom apartment units. Currently, all 10 units are occupied. The Developer plans to reconfigure and rehabilitate the units, including a thorough rehab of the interior and exterior. For the interior, new drywall, paint, insulation, kitchen cabinets, toilets, bath tubs, shower enclosures, sinks, garbage disposals, and vinyl flooring will be installed or replaced. Work on the exterior will include new roofs, repairs to the stucco, new exterior paint and new windows. Eight units will remain after the rehabilitation has been completed: four one-bedroom units, two two-bedroom units and two three-bedroom units. Units will be offered to tenants who qualify at 50% of area median income. Those tenant households, whose income level is greater than 50% of area median income, will need to be permanently relocated. In addition, even if all tenant households "income qualify" to remain within the Project, because two units will be lost for the expansion of several units, two households will be permanently displaced regardless. New tenants will be held to a 2+2 occupancy standard (two people per bedroom and two people in an additional room such as a living room or den) for one-bedroom units and a 2+1 occupancy standard (two people per bedroom and one person in an additional room such as a living room or den) for two and three bedroom units. Any current overcrowded households will be "grandfathered" and will qualify to remain within the Project in one of the rehabilitated units, unless they are one of the two households to be displaced due to the reduction in number of units. As of this date, the Project will cause the permanent displacement of two residential households. The needs and characteristics of the permanent displacees and the Developer's program to provide assistance to each affected person are general subjects of this Relocation Plan (Plan). The dwellings, which are the subject of this Plan, are located on Raiff Street and in the area generally bounded by W. Willits Street, S. Western Avenue, W. Wisteria Place and S. Townsend Street in the City of Santa Ana, as illustrated on the Project Site Maps shown in Attachment 1. The Developer anticipates funding for the Project will be provided by tax increment and HOME funds. This Plan conforms to the requirements of the federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (URA), as amended, the implementing regulations of Handbook 1378 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the California Relocation Assistance Law, Government Code Section 7260, et seq.
