monitoring. Based on information obtained from the residential interviews, at least one household has occupants that have disabilities. 7. Preferred Relocation Areas The residential interviews identify specific replacement site needs and preferences, and assist in planning replacement housing accordingly. In residential interviews, many residents tend to express a preference to remain in the community in order to maintain current school enrollment, access to employment, medical facilities, recreational resources, and public transportation. Based on information obtained from the residential interviews, the affected households have indicated a preference to remain in the local Santa Ana and Garden Grove areas. ► WITITATM • The Project has identified potentially 15 non - residential occupants that would be displaced. Survey information was obtained from tz of the 15 business owners. The majority of the businesses impacted by the Project would be considered small businesses. The majority of affected businesses would require cost - effective small replacement sites, with proximity to existing customer bases. Detailed interviews with business owners are instrumental in identifying suitable replacement sites. Interviews with the business tenants are crucial in addressing various complex relocation issues early in the process, including issues such as identification of trade fixtures and equipment, tenant improvements, personal property /real property issues, and the relocation requirements of various businesses that may become long lead items, such as obtaining special permits or zoning requirements. Such items should be carefully reviewed and planned in coordination with project time frames. Several non - residential displacements may be identified as potential candidates for extensive advisory services and relocation assistance. Of particular concern are medical facilities and the fast food establishment. • Medical — Medical facilities are historically difficult to relocate, due to the nature of the services provided, the need to provide consistent services without interruption, and expensive diagnostic equipment that would require relocation. For example, there are two dental offices, a chiropractor's office and an eye care facility on the Project. • Restaurant — As with larger chain restaurants, smaller fast food establishments such as Taqueria de Anda usually require busy intersections, pedestrian traffic, visibility, access, and parking. Fast food outlets have very specific market areas in which they must stay to avoid franchise or non - competitive agreements with outlets of the same brand. Moving smaller businesses can have a more detrimental effect than moving larger businesses, presumably with larger capital reserves. For this reason, it would be essential to provide timely, viable referrals to replacement sites, with assistance in relocation planning, while simultaneously executing the move carefully and efficiently.
