I SUMMARY AND PROJECT DATA
A. Purpose of Study
The purpose of this study is to provide the California
Department of Transportation, the City of Santa Ana and the
general public with information as to displacement effects/
relocation resources related to the proposed widening of Bristol
Street, in the City of Santa Ana.
B. Limits and Purpose of Project
The purpose of the subject project is to improve the flow of
local and through traffic along Bristol Street, between Warner
Avenue and Memory Lane, covering a distance of approximately 3.9
miles. (See Figure 1, following.)
C. Corridor and Alignments Studied
1. Number of alternatives studied: 4
a. Alternative 1 = Widening on both sides of Bristol, to
achieve 120' right -of -way.
b. Alternative 2 = Widen along east side only, to achieve a
120' right -of -way.
c. Alternative 3 = Widen along west side only, to achieve a
120' right -of -way.
d. Alternative 4 = No Project
2. Is there a "core" corridor common to all alternatives? Yes --
The present Bristol Street right -of -way and a depth of one
parcel along both sides of the street, throughout the project
corridor.
3. Comments: Widening alternatives would also include additional
spot widening at several intersections, affecting all legs, to
accommodate special features such as bus turn -outs, left
turns only, and right -turn only lanes. Also, each alternative
would realign Bristol Street to the west to avoid any widening
along the frontage of the Santiago Elementary School site.
The entire corridor lies within the City of Santa Ana.
D. Character of Displacement Area
1. Location in Relation to General Community: Subject segment
of Bristol Street runs north and south, roughly in the center
of the City, and is one of the most utilized north -south
arterial corridors in the City. Bristol Street connects with
the Garden Grove freeway (State Highway 22) just north of
the project area.

E. Comments
Regarding Non - Profits and Businesses
A wide variety of businesses are found along this segment of
Bristol Street, ranging from small offices in converted single- family
dwellings, to smaller, stand -alone shops, to large free - standing
businesses (e.g., Building Emporium) to the major commercial site
in the project area, Honer Plaza, a community scale shopping
center covering approximately 38 acres of land. Although it will
be necessary to relocate a number of businesses due to extensive
loss of building and /or parking area, the range of businesses
available to local and City -wide residents will not significantly
change.
Many of the potential displaced businesses rely heavily on
local patronage, due to neighborhood identification and ethnic ties.
Such businesses will have greater difficulty in relocating,
successfully, to a new location. Some of these businesses may be
forced to close permanently as a result.
Non - profit entities in the project corridor include: four
churches, two day care centers, the Rancho Santiago Community
College, Mater Dei High School, Santiago Elementary School, Jose
Andres Sepulveda Elementary School, and a City of Santa Ana
Water pumping station. Of these, only the Southwest Learning
Center, a non - profit day care center at 810 S. Bristol Street,
could be displaced, under Alternatives one or three.
Each of the school sites would lose some of its area along the
street frontage, if Bristol Street is widened on both sides or along
the side that abuts the particular school site. In the case of
Mater Dei High School, any loss of frontage area would eliminate
critically needed parking spaces. The elementary schools would
lose some outdoor recreational area, but both sites have sufficient
remaining area to adequately withstand this loss of space. Due to
Federal Highway Administration Section 4 (f) Guidelines, however,
each alternative would avoid any widening along the frontage of
the Santiago Elementary School frontage. The college site would
lose some parking and vehicular circulation along its 17th Street
frontage, under each widening alternative, but the number of
spaces would be less than one percent of the total and the
vehicular drive along 17th Street is not a critical component of the
-10-
on -site circulation since it provides access only to a small parking
area. The water pumping station facilities would not be affected
under any of the street widening alternatives.
For further information concerning the characteristics of these
non - profit entities, please refer to Section III . B .4 of the
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). For further information
concerning the potential effects on these sites, please refer to
Sections IV.Q. and IV.S in the EIS.

IV RELOCATION RESOLIRCES
Due to the size and complexity of this project, the relocation
resource area is defined to include the entire City of Santa Ana, as
well as the immediately adjacent Cities of Garden Grove and Anaheim.
It must be recognized, however, that given the significant Hispanic and
lower- income characteristics of the displacement area, comparable
neighborhoods within the adjacent areas will probably be limited to
neighborhoods exhibiting similar socio- enconomic traits.
A. Residential /Non - Residential Gross Units
Hundreds of vacant and comparable units, both residential
and non - residential, are expected to be available throughout the
relocation resource area. This estimate is based upon State
Department of Finance housing vacancy estimates as well as
classified advertisements listed in the Orange County Register.

D. Comments Concerning Residential Relocation Resources:
Based on a survey of rental listings in The Orange County
Register, the largest local newspaper, there appears to be an
adequate supply of available rental and for -sale housing within the
Santa Ana - Garden Grove - Anaheim area, to accommodate displaced
households. However, there could be difficulties in finding
comparable and suitable replacement housing for the following
types of displaced households:
Type of Household
3 and 4 Bedroom Rentals
Owner Occupied
2 Bedroom Rentals
Relocation Problem
Limited supply of vacant units,
market rents not affordable to lower
income households.
Market prices generally not
affordable to either lower or
moderate income households.
Market rents not affordable to lower
income households.
Due to the high percentage of Spanish speaking residents
within the project corridor, a Spanish speaking relocation agent
will probably be necessary to assist the City's relocation program.
If right -of -way acquisition and project construction take place
concurrently with other street and highway improvements planned
in this general area, competition for relocation resources will be
significantly increased and the relocation area may need to be
expanded or supplemental housing payments increased to enable
affordable housing costs within the local relocation area. For
further information concerning the timing and displacement effects
of those other projects, please refer to Section N.M. of the EIS.

V ROUTINE RELOCATION STATEMENT OF SUFFICIENCY
A. Will adequate relocation resources most likely be available for:
Owner- Occupied SFR? Yes
Tenant - Occupied SFR? Yes
Tenant - Occupied Duplex? Yes
Commercial? Yes, with the possible exception
of several small, neighborhood
oriented businesses.
Non - Profit? Yes
B. Are there available Relocation Resources meeting all decent, safe
and sanitary housing requirements? Yes
C. Are the displacement neighborhood and relocation areas comparable
in terms of amenities, public utilities, accessibility to public
services, transportation and shopping facilities? Yes
D. Are available Relocation Resources subject to discriminatory rental
practices? No
E. Are Relocation Resources affordable to displacees, given the use of
housing and rental payments? Yes
F. Are there other public projects in the area that will displace
additional families or make additional housing available concurrently
with the subject project? Yes*
G. Are there special /significant relocation problems associated with
this project? Yes **
* The City of Santa Ana Housing
Agency is administering several
programs which are providing new housing units and payments to
low- income renters, throughout the
City. The City of Santa Ana is
proposing to widen Westminster
Street, which may occur at
approximately the same time as the
subject project. In addition,
Caltrans is planning to widen the
Santa Ana Freeway (1 -5) , between
Route 55 and Route 22, beginning
in June 1990, and to widen the
interchange between the Santa Ana
Freeway and the Newport Freeway,
beginning in June 1989. Some overlap of all these projects would
increase the demand for local
relocation resources, possibly
necessitating a larger relocation area
and /or increased supplemental
housing and business relocation
payments. For further details
concerning the displacement effects
of these various street improvement
projects, please refer to Sections IV.M
and IV.N of the EIS.
** Problems consist of finding comparable and affordable housing for
displaced low income and large family households, as well as a need for
a Spanish Speaking relocation agent. For further details, see Section
IV.

Caltrans Relocation Program
APPENDIX A
I. RELOCATION ASSISTANCE ADVISORY SERVICES
The Department of Transportation will provide relocation
advisory assistance to any person, business, farm or non-
profit organization displaced as a result of the Department's
acquisition of real property for public use. The Department
will assist displacees in obtaining replacement housing by
providing current and continuing information on the avail-
ability and prices of houses for sale and rental units that
are comparable, decent, safe, and sanitary. Nonresidential
displacees will receive information on comparable properties
for lease or purchase. For business, farm and nonprofit
organization relocation services, see Section III.
Residential replacement dwellings will be in equal or better
neighborhoods at rents or prices within the financial means
of the individuals and families displaced, and reasonably
accessible to their places of employment. Before any
displacement occurs, comparable replacement dwellings will be
offered to displacees that are fair housing open to all
persons regardless of race, color, religion, sex or national
origin and consistent with the requirements of Title VIII of
the Civil Rights Act of 1968. This assistance will also
include the supplying of information concerning Federal and
State assisted housing programs and any other known services
being offered by public and private agencies in the area.
The Department will monitor on a continuing basis the needs
of all displaced persons in order to minimize hardship to
such persons.
II. RESIDENTIAL RELOCATION PAYMENTS PROGRAM
The Relocation Payments Program will help eligible
residential occupants by paying certain costs and expenses.
These costs are limited to those necessary for or incidental
to the purchasing or renting of the replacement dwelling and
actual reasonable moving expenses to a new location within
50 -miles of the displacees property. Any actual moving costs
in excess of the 50 -miles are the responsibility of the
displaces. The Residential Relocation Program can be
summarized as follows:
(1) Movinq Costs
Any displaced person, who was "lawfully" in occupancy
of the acquired property regardless of the length of
occupancy in the property acquired, will be eligible for
reimbursement of moving costs. Displacees will receive,
either the actual reasonable costs involved in moving
themselves and personal property up to a maximum of 50
miles, or a fixed payment based on the number of
furnished or unfurnished rooms of their present dwelling,
not to exceed $300.00. In addition, residential dis-
placees choosing the fixed room count method, will be
granted a flat $200.00 dislocation allowance for a
maximum of $500.00 under the fixed moving cost method.
The dislocation allowance is designed to cover incidental
moving expenses such as utility deposits, utility
connections, cable TV and phone hook -ups.
(2) Purchase Supplement
In addition to moving and related expense payments,
fully eligible homeowners may also be entitled to
payments for increased costs of replacement housing,
if any.
Homeowners who have owned and occupied their property
for 180 days prior to the date of the first written
offer to purchase, may qualify to receive a price
differential payment. If this payment is made, the
Department determines that the cost to buy a replace-
ment dwelling is more than the amount being paid for
the displacent dwelling. In addition, these owner -
occupants may also qualify to receive payments for
certain nonrecurring costs incidental to the purchase
of a replacement property. An Interest Differential
Payment is also available if the interest rate for the
loan(s) on the replacement dwelling is higher than the
loan(s) on the displacement dwelling. The maximum
combination of these three supplemental payments that
the owner - occupants can receive is $15,000.00. If the
total entitlement (without the moving payments) is in
excess of $15,000.00, the last resort housing program
will be used. See Section 5, for an explanation.
(3) Rent Supplement
Tenants who have occupied the property to be acquired
by the Department for 90 days or more and owner - occupants
of 90 to 179 days prior to the date of the first written
offer to purchase may qualify to receive a rental
differential payment. This payment is made when the
Department determines that the cost to rent a replace-
ment dwelling will be more than the present rent of the
displacement dwelling. As an alternative, the tenant may
qualify for a down payment benefit designed to assist in
the purchase of a replacement property and the payment of
certain costs incidental to its purchase. See section 4.
The maximum amount payable to any tenant of 90 days or
more and any owner - occupant of 90 to 179 days, in addi-
tion to moving expenses, will be $4,000.00. If the total
entitlement for rent supplement exceeds $4,000.00, the
last resort housing program will be used. See Section 5,
for an explanation. The rent supplement of $4,000.00 or
less will be paid in a lump sum unless the displacee
requests that it be paid in installments. In addition to
the occupancy requirements, the displaced person must
rent and occupy a "decent, safe, and sanitary" replace-
ment dwelling within one year from the date the Department
takes legal possession of the property, or from the date
displacee vacates the Department- acquired property,
whichever is later.
(4) Down Pavment
The down payment option has been designed to aid owner
occupants of 90 to 179 days and tenants with no less
than 90 days of continuous occupancy prior to the
Department's first written offer to purchase a
replacement dwelling. The down payment and incidental
expenses cannot exceed the maximum payment of $4,000.00.
The Department will determine the maximum down payment
that the displacee may be eligible to receive based on
typical down payments required for the financing of a
comparable dwelling with a conventional loan. There is
a "matching requirement," however, if the total required
down payment and other eligible costs exceed $2,000.00.
The displacee will receive $2,000.00 plus 50 percent of
any amount required in excess of $2,000.00 on a matching
basis up to the maximum of $4,000.00. This means that
the displaced person, eligible as defined above, will be
required to invest $2,000.00 of his own funds in order to
receive the maximum $4,000.00 under this option. The
one -year eligibility period in which to purchase and
occupy a "decent, safe, and sanitary" replacement
dwelling will apply.
(5) Last Resort Housinq
Federal regulations (49CFR Section 25) contain the policy
and procedure for implementing the Last Resort Housing
Program on Federal -Aid projects. The State Department of
Transportation, in order to maintain
uniformity in the program has also adopted these
Federal guidelines on non - Federal -Aid highway projects.
Last resort housing benefits are, except for the
amounts of payments and the methods of making them, the
same as those benefits for standard relocation as
explained above. Last resort housing has been designed
primarily to cover situations where displacees cannot
be relocated because of the lack of available compara-
ble replacement housing, or when their anticipated
replacement housing payments exceed the $4,000.00 and
$15,000.00 limits of the standard relocation procedures.
In certain exceptional situations, last resort housing
may also be used for tenants of less than 90 -days.
After the first written offer to acquire the property
has been made, the Department will, within a reasonable
length of time, personally contact the displacees to
gather important information relating to:
(a) Preferences in area of relocation;
(b) Number of people to be displaced and
distribution of adults and children
according to age and sex;
(c) Location of schools and employment;
(d) Special arrangements needed to
accommodate any handicapped member of
the family;
(e) Financial ability to relocate into a
comparable replacement dwelling which
will house all members of the family
decently.
The above explanation is general in nature and not
intended to be a complete explanation of relocation
regulations. Any questions concerning relocation
should be addressed to the Department of Transportation.
Any person to be displaced will be assigned a Relocation
Advisor, who will work closely with each displacee in
order to see that all payments and benefits are fully
utilized, and that all regulations are observed, thereby
avoiding the possibility of displacees jeopardizing or
forfeiting any of their benefits or payments.
III. BUSINESS AND FARM RELOCATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
The Business and Farm Relocation Assistance Program provides
for aid in locating a suitable replacement property, and
reimbursement for certain costs involved in relocation.
The Relocation Advisory Assistance Program will provide
current lists of properties offered for sale or rent
suitable for specific relocation needs.
The types of payments available to businesses, farms and non-
profit organizations can be summarized as follows:
(1) Moving expenses include the following actual
reasonable costs: The moving of inventory,
machinery, office equipment and similar business -
related personal property, dismantling, disconnecting,
crating, packing, loading, insuring, transporting,
unloading, unpacking, and reconnecting of personal
property.
(2) Loss of tangible personal property provides
payment to relocate for "actual direct" losses of
personal property that the owner elects not to
move.
(3) Expenses related to searching for a new business
site can be reimbursed up to $1,000.00 for actual
reasonable costs incurred.
(4) Payment "in lieu" of moving expense is available
to businesses which are expected to suffer a
substantial loss of existing patronage as a result
of the displacement, or if certain other require-
ments such as inability to find a suitable
relocation site are met. This payment is an amount
equal to the average annual net earnings for the
last two taxable years prior to relocation. Such
payment may not be less than $2,500.00 and not more
than $10,000.00. In lieu payments to non - profit
organizations are limited to $2,500.00.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Reimbursement for moving costs and replacement housing
payments are not considered income for the purpose of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1954, or resources for the purpose
of determining the extent of eligibility of a displacee for
assistance under the Social Security Act, local "Section 8"
Housing Programs, or other Federal Assistance Programs.
Persons who are eligible for relocation payments and who
are legally occupying the property required for the project will
not be asked to move without first being given at least 90 days
advance notice, in writing. Occupants of any type of dwelling,
eligible for relocation payments, will not be required to move
unless at least one comparable "decent, safe, and sanitary"
replacement residence, which is open to all persons regardless
of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, is available
or has been made available to them by the State.
Any person, business, farm, or nonprofit organization which
has been refused a relocation payment by the Department of
Transportation or believes that the payments offered are
inadequate may appeal for a special hearing of their complaint.
No legal assistance is required. Information about the appeal
procedure is available from a Department of Transportation
Relocation Advisor.
The preceding information is not intended to be a complete
statement of all the Department's laws and regulations. At the
time of the first written offer to purchase, owner - occupants are
given a more detailed explanation of the State's relocation
services. Tenant occupants of properties to be acquired are
contacted immediately after the first written offers to purchase,
and also given a more detailed explanation of the Department's
Relocation Programs.
