Ill. Relocation Resources The California Relocation Assistance Law provides that no eligible residential persons shall be required to move from their dwelling unless comparable replacement dwellings are available to such persons. The purpose of this section is to identify whether sufficient comparable replacement housing resources exist for all potential residential displacees. Additionally, while available replacement locations are not required for non-residential occupants to move, a survey of available replacement commercial sites have been searched to determine what sites may be available to the non-residential occupants and to determine what impacts, if any, may occur due to a lack of available replacement sites. The City is committed to making every effort to satisfactorily relocate all displaced occupants. A. Methodology To determine the availability of residential and commercial sites prior to the displacement of occupants from the Project area, resources were researched through the following sources: • Internet sources (MLS listings, Loop Net); • Canvassing the Project area for properties available for lease and or for sale; • Telephone and field contact with commercial brokerages serving the area; • Classified rental listings from local publications, and; • Contacts with real estate/property management companies serving the community. B. Replacement Housing/Commercial Site Availability 1. Residential For -Sale and Rental Housing A housing resource survey was conducted to determine the availability of replacement housing within the City of Santa Ana sufficient to meet the needs of displaced rental tenants and homeowners. The replacement housing survey considered available two-, three-, and four-bedroom conventional housing for rent and for sale. This data is summarized in Tables 5 and 6, below. The conventional housing survey, Table 5, identified 43 currently available, one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom conventional housing units for rent. The survey of available single-family residences for sale, Table 6, identified 32 currently available two- and three-bedroom housing units for sale. The individual figures for number of units found by bedroom size are presented in the tables, as well as location and price range.
