Depot at Santiago Project Relocation Plan INTRODUCTION Depot at Santiago, LP (the "Developer") authorized the preparation of a Relocation Plan to be prepared in connection with planning for the proposed mixed-use project called the Depot @ Santiago Project ("Project"). The Developer has acquired the property located at 923 N. Santiago in Santa Ana, CA as the proposed Project site. Existing structures, including multiple commercial uses, will be demolished to allow for new constriction. The Project entails the constriction of 70 affordable multi -family rental units, approximately 8,500 square feet of retail space, and a 3,000 square foot community room. The affordable housing component of the Project will consist of 15 one -bedroom units, 24 two-bedroom units, and 31 three bedroom units. Seven units will be rented to families with household incomes at or below 30% of AMI (Area Median Income); 14 units at 40% of AMI; 28 units at 50% of AMI; and 20 units at 60% of AMI. The one remaining unit will be designated as a manager's unit. The 923 N. Santiago building will be a mixed-use podium design with contemporary architecture. All of the resident parking for the project will be covered, and the commercial units will have uncovered surface parking. The property will feature gated pedestrian and auto access, a tot lot, onsite laundry facilities, a community room, leasing office, shaded courtyards, and raised planters. Due to the necessary demolition of existing structures, all current Project occupants will need to be permanently relocated. The needs and characteristics of the displacee population, available relocation resources, and the Developer's program to provide assistance to each affected person are general subjects of this Relocation Plan (Plan). Funding for the Project will come from Federal financing sources, including HOME and CDBG. Additional funding will derive from Mental Health Services Act funds (MHSA), Infill Infrastructure Grant farads (IIG), Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities funds (AHSC), low income housing tax credits, Developer funds and a construction loan. This Plan confonns to the requirements of the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended, HUD Handbook 1378, California Government Code 7260, and Title 25 of the California Code of Regulations. (Section 104(d) does not apply, because no residential units will be affected.) The original Relocation Plan was completed in September 2013. Now that the Project is close to commencing, the Relocation Plan was updated in September 2015. This Plan is organized in five sections: 1. Project description (SECTION I); 2. Assessment of the relocation needs of persons subject to displacement (SECTION II);
