OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA ADOPTING A REPLACEMENT
HOUSING PLAN FOR DEMOLITION OF VACANT RESIDENTIAL
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 622, 624, 626 AND 628 N. GARFIELD

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY
OF SANTA ANA, AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: The Board of the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of
Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows:
A. Community Redevelopment Law ("CRL") allows a redevelopment agency to
clear or remove buildings, structures or other improvements from any real
property acquired and owned by the Agency (Health and Safety Code section
33420).
B. Whenever the Agency destroys or removes dwelling units from the low and
moderate income housing markets, the Agency shall adopt, by resolution, a
replacement housing plan, which shall specify how and where the Agency shall
provide replacement housing units (Health and Safety Code section 33413).
C. The Agency purchased the properties located at 622, 624, 626 and 628 N.
Garfield Street (the "Properties") to be used for replacement housing units.
While awaiting the final development of the Properties, the City's Community
Preservation division inspected the units and deemed them uninhabitable. Due
to health and safety concerns, it is recommended that the Properties be
demolished. The Properties are currently vacant, consisting of 5 one-bedroom
units and 2 three-bedroom units.
D. Section 33413.5 of the California Health and Safety Code requires that not less
than 30 days prior to the execution of an agreement for acquisition of real
property, or the execution of an agreement for the disposition and development
of property, or the execution of an owner participation agreement, which
agreement would lead to the destruction or removal of dwelling units from the
low- and moderate-income housing market, the Agency shall adopt by
resolution a Replacement Housing Plan.
E. The Agency has prepared a Replacement Housing Plan relating to the
demolition of the Properties, in the form presented by the Agency Executive
Director.
F. The Agency has made a draft of the Replacement Housing Plan available to
the public and to other public agencies for a reasonable time prior to this

meeting, following the publication of notice of the availability of the draft
Replacement Housing Plan for review and comment.
G. The Replacement Housing Plan includes 1) the general location of housing to
be rehabilitated, developed or constructed pursuant to section 33413 (the
"Replacement Housing"; 2) an adequate means of financing the Replacement
Housing; 3) a finding that the Replacement Housing does not require the
approval of the voters pursuant to Article XXXIV of the California Constitution;
4) the number of dwelling units housing persons or families of low- or
moderate-income in the Replacement Housing which will be available at
affordable housing cost and which is at least equal to the number of dwelling
units being demolished, and which have an equal or greater number of
bedrooms as those in the demolished Property and; 5) a timetable for meeting
the Replacement Housing Plan's relocation, rehabilitation and replacement
housing objectives not later than four years after demolition of the Properties.
H. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the Properties are
exempt from further review. Categorical Exemption Nos. ER-126 and ER-128
have been filed for the Properties.
Section 2. The Agency hereby approves and adopts the Replacement Housing
Plan in the form presented by the Executive Director.
Section 3. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by
the Community Redevelopment Agency, and the Secretary of the Agency shall attest to
