6. Preferred Relocation Areas <br />Most households would like to stay in Santa Ana mainly because of jobs and schools. <br />However, some have no issues moving to surrounding cities such as Costa Mesa or Anaheim. <br />OCCUPANCY STANDARDS FOR CITY OF SANTA ANA <br />The City's policy is that there will be no more than 2 persons per room and one person in common living <br />area. The City adheres to the State building code occupancy standard based on square footage of <br />dwellings for households larger than eight members. Referrals to replacement housing provided to <br />occupants may reflect the need for larger accommodations to comply with State and the City of Santa Ana <br />code requirements. <br />Generally these standards allow for up to three people to occupy a one bedroom unit, five person in a two <br />bedroom unit, seven persons in a three unit. Any households with more than eight members require a four <br />bedroom replacement unit based on the respective size of that unit per the State building code. <br />METHODOLOGY <br />One of the main reasons for creating a Relocation Plan is to determine whether comparable, decent, safe <br />and sanitary residential replacement dwellings will be available for residents at the times of displacement, <br />which are within the financial means of the displacee. <br />RELATEDISSUES <br />Temporary Housing <br />It is anticipated that comparable replacement housing will be available at the time of displacement, <br />therefore, there will be no need to rely on temporary relocation resources to meet the needs of the <br />occupants. <br />Language Issues <br />Our staff has been able to successfully communicate with residents and business owners without any <br />language barriers. <br />Preferred Relocation Areas <br />Most of the Project residents interviewed expressed a preference to remain in or around the local <br />community in order to maintain current access to schools and employment. <br />Page 17 <br />RELOCATION PLAN <br />Bristol Street Phase 4 Project <br />
