the same time schedule as the subject project. Potential displacements include 10 households which would require relocation in the Santa Ana area The schedule to complete right -of -way acquisition and site clearing for the ' subject project has not been finalized. The potential exists, therefore, for an overlap between the subject project and the other projects listed above, which _ would result in increased competition for relocation resources within the Santa Ana area. Since the project will be phased, the need for relocation resources will be lessened. Current residents of Santa Ana could be relocated to a neighboring community in order to find comparable and acceptable replacement housing. The population of Santa Ana and surrounding cities - would thereby fluctuate as a result of the relocation activities of all the above projects. This would be a relatively minor impact to the population base in this highly urbanized area. There will, however, be a temporary, relatively _ heavy demand for very low, low and moderate income housing, which is in short supply. An undetermined number of 'special need' residents could be displaced under the preferred project alternative. Households containing persons who are elderly, and perhaps physically or mentally handicapped may be among those - that are displaced. _ Mitigation Measures 1. All displaced residents will receive relocation assistance from the City - of Santa Ana, in accordance with the Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Regulations for Federally Assisted Programs (49 CFR, Part 24), March 1989 (a k.a. the Uniform Act), and California Department of Transportation guidelines. Assistance will include information on the availability and prices of homes for sale and for rent that are comparable, decent, safe and sanitary. As stated on Page 12, Section IV A. of the Draft Relocation Impact Study, hundreds of vacant and comparable units, both residential and non - residential, are expected to be available throughout the City of Santa Ana and the adjacent Cities of Anaheim and Garden Grove. Relocation payments' will also .. be available to help eligible displaces, in the form of paying certain costs and expenses involved in moving, purchasing, or renting ` replacement dwellings. A summary of the relocation benefits ,. established by Uniform Act is provided below: -- Owners and tenants are able to inspect the housing to which they are referred. IV-46 75C -181
