Grand Avenue Widening Project Environmental Impact Report Section 3.0 <br />TABLE 3.2-2 <br />SUMMARY OF RIGHT-OF-WAY TAKES <br />Type of Parcel <br />Alternative 1 <br />Alternative 2 <br />Full <br />Takes <br />Partial <br />Takes <br />Full <br />Takes <br />Partial <br />Takes <br />Single Family Residential Units <br />20 <br />0 <br />23[3] <br />0 <br />Multiple Family Residential Units [1] <br />41 <br />0 <br />41 <br />0 <br />Multiple Family Residential Parcels [2] <br />5 <br />0 <br />5 <br />0 <br />Commercial <br />20 <br />16 <br />29 <br />16 <br />Public/Other [4] <br />0 <br />4 <br />0 <br />4 <br />Office <br />0 <br />0 <br />1 <br />0 <br />Total Takes (Parcels) <br />45 <br />20 <br />56 <br />Total Takes (Residential Units) <br />61 <br />0 <br />64 <br />EO <br />[1] Estimated number of affected individual housing units. <br />[2] These are individual parcels occupied by two or more multiple family residential units. For example, the 5 <br />multiple family parcels identified as full takes under Alternative 1 contain an estimated total of 41 multiple family <br />residential uses. <br />[3] This includes the parcel with map reference No. 44 that has three single family units on one parcel. <br />[4] This includes public uses, church use and church parking lot. <br />It is expected that the affected residents can be relocated to elsewhere in the City or in the <br />surrounding cities. However, based on the active housing market and the 2.13 percent vacancy rate <br />in 2001 (Department of Finance City and County Population and Housing Estimates, January 1, <br />2001), it may be difficult to quickly relocated all affected residents. As described earlier, the <br />implementation of the proposed widening of Grand Avenue would be phased, which would include <br />the phased acquisition of property. This would have the effect of spreading the property acquisition <br />and subsequent relocation activities over time. This would be expected to somewhat ease the <br />difficulty in relocating the total number of affected residents in an active housing market with only <br />limited vacancies. Affected businesses are expected to be able to be relocated to new sites either in <br />the City or the surrounding cities, based on the urbanized nature of this part of Orange County. The <br />City will provide substantial relocation assistance to displaced residents and businesses, as <br />described later in mitigation measures LP -2, LP -3, LP -4 and LP -5. However, the loss of single <br />family and multiple family housing is of concern for the region which is addressed in Sections 3.3 <br />(Population and Housing) and Section 6.2 (Cumulative Impacts). <br />As described earlier, the analysis of potential right-of-way acquisition associated with the widening <br />alternatives assumed a full take if the remainder of the affected parcel totals less than 15,000 square <br />feet for commercial uses or less than 6,000 square feet for single family residential uses, or if the <br />remainder of the parcel does not meet the required setback of 15 feet from the new edge of the <br />public right-of-way to the nearest structure on the site for commercial uses .and 20 feet for <br />residential uses. This was to ensure that remnant parcels would be in conformance with site <br />development standards in the Zoning Code. Therefore, implementation of Alternative 1 will not <br />result in land use impacts from the creation of non -conforming land uses.
