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 is assisting Wilshire/Minnie L.P. with the acquisition and
rehabilitation of property located at 1201, 1209, 1213, 1221, 1225, 1229, and

4 bedroom sizes, with occupancy restricted to households with annual incomes
at or below 60 percent of area median income.
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

a Replacement Housing Plan.
