Appoint Philip Campanelli to the Santa Ana Workforce Investment Board.
DISCUSSION
On March 6, 2000, the City Council adopted a resolution establishing the
Santa Ana Workforce Investment Board (WIB) and appointed 33 members. In
accordance with the federal legislation, a majority of the Board and the
Board Chair must come from the private sector. The remaining Board seats
represent education, non-profit organizations, one-stop mandated partners
and local labor organizations.
Currently there are four vacancies on the Board consisting of two private
sector seats, one labor seat, and an economic development seat. After an
extensive recruitment campaign and interview process, the WIB is
recommending this candidate for appointment to the Board.
The private sector nominee is Philip Campanelli, General Manager of the
Embassy Suites Hotel. Mr. Campanelli's resume and nomination form are
attached (Exhibit 1). Staff will continue to work to fill the remaining
three vacancies on the Board.

AMENDED AGREEMENT WITH WASTE
MANAGEMENT INC. FOR REFUSE
COLLECTION AND RECYCING
CONTINUED TO
FILE NUMBER
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and
the Clerk of the Council to execute an amended agreement with Waste
Management Inc. for collection and recycling of the City's solid waste.
DISCUSSION
In 1996 the City entered into an exclusive agreement with Waste
Management Inc. to collect and recycle the City's residential, commercial
and industrial waste. With that agreement the City implemented the
three-cart curbside program, the wet/dry commercial program and the
sorted industrial waste programs that are currently in place. That
agreement has been amended to provide alley and parkway clean-up.
The proposed amended agreement will incorporate the additional services
to the Ci ty into one agreement and extend the term of the agreement
through the year 2018. In exchange, the City will receive $1,000,000 in
fiscal year 05-06 and $500,000 in each of the remaining years of the
agreement. These payments will not affect customer rates.
Customer rates will continue to be competitive. In 2004 Santa Ana's
curbside rates were mid range and commercial rates were in the lower one-
third of the rates in the County. Currently, these rates may be
increased each year by 7.5%. With the proposed amended agreement the
rates can only be increased each year by 5 percent.
Under the proposed amended agreement Waste Management will continue to
utilize the trucks purchased by the City in 1996 and will begin replacing
them in 2006 with low emission vehicles. In addition, collection of
televisions, computers and monitors will be included with the City's
large item pickup service for curbside customers.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and the
Clerk of the Council to enter into a one-year agreement with two, one-year
renewal options with Joseph R. La Rosa Jr., to provide asset forfeiture
consul ting services to the Police Department in an annual amount not to
exceed $36,000.
DISCUSSION
The Police Department's Special Investigations Division is responsible for
handling narcotic investigations. To ensure the effectiveness of the
operation, it is necessary to recognize and identify narcotics-related
assets that are subj ect to highly complex state and federal forfeiture
laws.
In 1998, the Police Department entered into an agreement with Joseph R. La
Rosa, Jr., a recognized expert in the field of asset forfeiture, to ensure
that the City is in compliance with all mandated state and federal
forfeiture regulations, and that the City maximizes full asset forfeiture
entitlements. During the past seven years, the increase in revenues
generated by the asset forfeiture program has exceeded the cost of Mr. La
Rosa's services. Mr. La Rosa has performed in a satisfactory manner and
staff recommends approval of the recommended action.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and
Clerk of the Council to execute an amendment to the agreement with Parkgate
Center LP for the lease of office space at 888 West Santa Ana Boulevard for
the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency and the Community
Development Agency, extending the term of the agreement three additional
years with two one-year options in an amount not to exceed $203,997.60 per
year for the first three years.
DISCUSSION
The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency has been leasing office
space at 888 West Santa Ana Boulevard for ten years. The lease is expiring
on May 31, 2006. The current location is easily accessible to the public
and the agency is requesting the lease be extended for an additional three
years. The current base rental rate at this location is $17,517.35 per
month for 11,724 square feet. The new rate will be $16,999.80 per month for
the first three years. At the end of three years, if the City elects to
request a two-year extension option, the increased monthly rate will be
$17,468.76 for the first year and $17,992.76 per month for the second year.
The Community Development Agency's Workforce Investment Board staff has
been sharing office space with the Parks, Recreation and Community Services
Agency for the past two years, and has requested to continue this
arrangement.
A new Recreation Center along with permanent headquarter offices is being
planned at Memorial Park. This process will take approximately three years
to plan, design and construct.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and
the Clerk of the Council to execute an amendment to the agreement with
Kent Jorgensen to provide right of way support services for a total
amount not to exceed $300,000.
DISCUSSION
On December 20, 2004, the City Council approved an agreement with Kent
Jorgensen in the amount of $150,000 for right of way support services.
These services included real property acquisition, relocation assistance,
property management, escrow activities, surplus properties, street and
alley vacations and project management.
During the past year Kent Jorgensen has been instrumental in acquiring
the properties on Bristol Street between Pine and Third Streets. He is
also providing support in providing cost estimates and general real
estate and right of way services.
With anticipation of the additional funding for Bristol Street Corridor,
Kent Jorgensen will also provide assistance in overseeing other
consultants' work. This agreement is needed to support the current right
of way operations and to avoid any delays in projects due to a long-term
vacancy in the Design Engineering Section. Kent Jorgensen is currently
working for the City as a consultant and is familiar with the system and
operations of the City. An amendment to Kent Jorgensen's existing
agreement is recommended to continue right of way support services and to
meet the project deadlines.

CITY MANAGER
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and
Clerk of the Council to execute a three-year agreement with Telecom
Partners Group Corp, dba ATS Communications to provide wireless
communication consulting services on a commission basis.
DISCUSSION
Technological advances in wireless communications have created a
significant demand for wireless communication products such as cell
phones, laptop computers, and personal data assistants (e.g. Palm Pilots,
Blackberries). To meet this need, wireless communication companies such
as Verizon Wireless and Nexte1/Sprint PCS have become more aggressive in
seeking suitable cell tower sites and and more competitive in negotiating
leases for these locations. In addition, more complex and sophisticated
wireless technologies will place an even greater burden on wireless
infrastructure; requiring wireless communications companies to enhance
existing wireless facilities and continue to increase cell tower sites.
While the addition of new wireless facilities in our community will
provide our residents and business community with greater access to this
technology, it is important to ensure that this infrastructure is planned
and managed in a strategic and economically beneficial manner. Currently,
the City relies upon the Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Agency
staff to negotiate lease agreements with wireless companies and to manage
the establishment of new cell tower sites. While staff has done an
effective job, the proliferation of this rapidly changing technology now
requires the use of consultants to develop a wireless communications
infrastructure master plan that will best serve Santa Ana.
25G-1
Telecom Partners Group Corp, dba ATS Communications, specializes in
providing wireless infrastructure consulting services to public agencies.
Under the proposed agreement, ATS will develop a wireless facilities
master plan that will maximize wireless communications while minimizing
the number of wireless facilities. ATS has special knowledge and skills
regarding the current and future needs of wireless communcation providers
that will allow Santa Ana to more effectively coordinate the placement of
new facilities in the City; taking advantage of co-location of mulitiple
transmitters on single towers wherever possible. Additionally, ATS will
evaluate all City-owned land to identify potential cell tower locations
that are consistent with the master plan and that ensure a reliable
income stream to the City's general fund.
Under the agreement, ATS will be granted a three-year exclusive right to
market city-owned land for lease to wireless communications providers. A
20 percent commission will compensate ATS for (1) development of the
master plan; (2) marketing and negotiating service for the locations
chosen; and (3) management of all wireless facili ty leases including
design, installation and on-going management. Commissions will be payable
soley from rents received and leases negotiated by ATS and approved by
the City Council. All decisions to lease any city sites will be made by
the City Council on a project specific basis. The agreement does not
guarantee any leases to be approved under the master plan without City
Council approval.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds to pay for services provided by ATS will be paid soley from rents
received on leases negotiated by ATS.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Recommend that the City Council adopt a resolution approving Variance No.
2005-63 as conditioned.
DISCUSSION
Request of Applicant
Orange Housing Development Corporation is requesting approval of a
variance for a reduction in required parking in conjunction with the
rehabilitation of an existing 35 unit apartment complex at 1411 North
Durant Street.
Property Description
The project site is a 19,000 square foot, rectangular shaped parcel
located on Durant Street between Fifteenth Street and Washington Avenue.
The site is currently occupied by the Durant Street Apartment complex, a
four-story, 23,000 square foot, 35-unit complex that was constructed in
1986. The site currently contains 35 covered parking spaces.
The site has a General Plan land use designation of Medium Density
Residential (MR-15), which allows residential development at 15 units per
acre. The subject site is located within the Multiple-Family Residential
(R-3) zoning district. The property is surrounded by single-family and
multi-family residential uses to the north, south and west, and office and
multi-family residential uses to the east (Exhibits 1 and 2) .
EXHIBIT A
75A-2
Variance No. 2005-63
December 12, 2005
Page 2
Project Description
The project involves the rehabilitation of the existing 35 unit
apartment complex into an affordable, rent controlled 25 unit complex.
The structure and room layouts will be modified by combining existing
studio units to create one, two and three bedroom units. Units will
range in size from approximately 635 square feet for a one bedroom
apartment, 795 square feet for a two bedroom unit and 1,100 square feet
for a three bedroom apartment. The unit breakdown includes 5 one-
bedroom units, 10 two-bedroom units and 10 three-bedroom units.
Various external and internal improvements are proposed for the project.
Exterior improvements will include new stucco and paint for the exterior
walls, repairing and repainting all decks and the removal of exterior
doors where units are removed. Interior enhancements will include the
reconfiguration of walls and the installation of new bathrooms and
kitchens within each unit. Additionally, new paint, windows, doors and
flooring will be provided for each apartment (Exhibits 3 and 4) .
Analysis of the Issues
Orange Housing Development Corporation, in partnership with the City's
Housing Division, is in the process of purchasing the existing apartment
complex. Once the purchase is completed, the applicant intends to
rehabilitate the existing complex and provide 25 affordable, rent
controlled units that will include occupancy restrictions. However, due
to the rehabilitation involved with the project, a variance for a
reduction in parking is needed.
Section 41-681.3(3) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) requires this
nonconforming multiple-family residential project to comply with the
City's parking requirements if the number or size of the bedrooms will be
increased on the site through a rehabilitation. In analyzing this request
for a reduction in parking, staff considered the following information.
The applicant will be reducing the number of units on the site by 10,
effectively reducing the parking demand for the proj ect. Addi tionally,
through deed restrictions and covenants, the overall occupancy of the
project will be reduced from 125 to a maximum of 115 (3 persons per one
bedroom unit, 4 persons per two bedroom unit, and 6 persons per three
bedroom unit), also reducing the demand for parking. Finally, since the
applicant has completed several similar projects, the applicant has found
that the need for parking has been reduced with this type of project.
75A-3
Variance No. 2005-63
December 12, 2005
Page 3
Orange Housing Development Corporation has completed several successful,
similar proj ects in the City, including the Cornerstone Village
rehabilitation on Standard Avenue and Minnie Street and the conversion of
the Howard Johnson's Motel into a senior apartment complex on East
Seventeenth Street. This project, as with the prior projects completed by
Orange Housing, will preserve and improve the character and integrity of
the surrounding neighborhood through the numerous improvements proposed
for the site. The reduction in the overall number of units, in
conjunction with the strict occupancy limits, will result in a reduction
in the parking demand for the complex. As a result, staff recommends that
the Planning Commission approve Variance No. 2005-63 as conditioned
(Exhibits 5 and 6) .
CEQA Compliance
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the
recommended action is exempt from further review pursuant to Section
15301. This Class 1 exemption allows the repair, maintenance and minor
alteration of existing structures with no expansion. Categorical
Exemption No. 2005-209 will be filed for this project.

Variance No. 2005-63
December 12, 2005
Page 1 of 1
Findings of Fact
A. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject
property, including size, shape, topography, location, or
surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found
to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise at
variance with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this
chapter.
Special circumstances are applicable to the subj ect site that
necessitates a parking variance for the project. The subject
site currently contains 35 parking spaces, one for each unit.
The applicant will be reducing the number of units on the
premises to 25, further reducing the parking demand for the
site. Additionally, occupancy restrictions will be established
for the project that will result in a lesser number of residents
than currently found on the premises, further reducing the need
for parking. Therefore, the strict application of the zoning
code would deprive the subject property of privileges.
B. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights.
The parking variance is necessary to preserve property rights as
the owners will be rehabilitating the existing complex and
providing affordable, rent controlled housing for residents of
the City.
C. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to
the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property.
The granting of the variance for a reduction in parking will not
be detrimental to the area as the reduction in units, in
conjunction with the occupancy restrictions, will result in a
lower parking demand.
D. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the General
Plan of the City.
The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the
Ci ty I S General Plan in any way as the land use designation of
Medium Density Residential (MR) allows the rehabilitation of
existing apartment complexes.

DISCUSSION
Request of Applicant
Orange Housing Development Corporation is requesting approval of a
variance for a reduction in required parking and to reduce the unit size
of the one-bedroom units in conjunction with the rehabilitation of an
existing 30 unit apartment complex at 1501 North Ross Street.
Property Description
The project site is a 17,200 square foot, rectangular shaped parcel
located on the northeast corner of Ross and Fifteenth Streets. The site
is currently occupied by the Ross Street Apartment complex, a four-story,
15,200 square foot, 30-unit complex that was constructed in 1980. The
site currently contains 30 covered parking spaces.
The site has a General Plan land use designation of Medium Density
Residential (MR-15), which allows residential development at 15 units per
acre. The subject site is located within the Multiple-Family Residential
(R-3) zoning district. The property is surrounded by single-family and
multi-family residential uses to the north, east and west, and Willard
Intermediate School to the south (Exhibits 1 and 2) .
EXHIBIT A
758-2
Variance Nos. 05-64 and 05-65
December 12, 2005

Project Description
The project involves the rehabilitation of the existing 30 unit
apartment complex into an affordable, rent controlled 24 unit complex.
The structure and room layouts will be modified by combining existing
studio units to create one, two and three bedroom units. Units will
range in size from approximately 509 square feet for a one bedroom
apartment and 764 square feet for a two bedroom unit. The unit
breakdown includes 13 one-bedroom units and 11 two-bedroom units.
Various external and internal improvements are proposed for the project.
Exterior improvements will include new stucco and paint for the exterior
walls, repairing and repainting all decks and the removal of exterior
doors where units are removed. Interior enhancements will include the
reconfiguration of walls and the installation of new bathrooms and
kitchens within each unit. Additionally, new paint, windows, doors and
flooring will be provided for each apartment (Exhibits 3 and 4) .
Analysis of the Issues
Orange Housing Development Corporation, in partnership with the City's
Housing Division, is in the process of purchasing the existing apartment
complex. Once the purchase is completed, the applicant intends to
rehabilitate the existing complex and provide 24 affordable, rent
controlled units that will include occupancy restrictions. However, due
to the rehabilitation involved with the project, a variance for a
reduction in parking and for a reduction in the minimum size of a unit is
needed.
The first variance pertains to a reduction in required parking for the
complex. Section 41-681.3(3) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC)
requires this nonconforming multiple-family residential project to comply
with the City's parking requirements if the number or size of the bedrooms
will be increased on the site through a rehabilitation. In analyzing this
request for a reduction in parking, staff considered the following
information.
The applicant will be reducing the number of units on the site by six,
effecti vely reducing the parking demand for the proj ect. Additionally,
through deed restrictions and covenants, the overall occupancy of the
project will be reduced from 105 to a maximum of 70 (3 persons per one
bedroom unit and 4 persons per two bedroom unit), also reducing the demand
for parking. Finally, since the applicant has completed several similar
proj ects, the applicant has found that the need for parking has been
reduced with this type of project.
758-3
variance Nos. 05-64 and 05-65
December 12, 2005
Page 3
The second variance pertains to the applicant's request to allow one-
bedroom units that are smaller than allowed by code. Section 41-272.01 of
the SAMC requires one-bedroom units to be a minimum of 550 square feet in
size, while the rehabilitation project results in units that average
approximately 509 square feet. In analyzing this request for a reduction
in parking, the following information was considered.
The layout of the new one and two-bedroom units is based on the
configuration of the existing studio apartments. In reducing units, new
walls will be installed that follow the general layout of the existing
units. In creating the one bedroom units, bedroom space will be obtained
from adjacent units. One bedroom units that comply with code can be
provided for this proj ect i however, a significant amount of available
funds would need to be spent and a less efficient proj ect may result.
Since deed restrictions and covenants will be recorded for the proj ect,
the occupancy of the one bedroom units and overall occupancy of the
project will be reduced.
Orange Housing Development Corporation has completed several successful,
similar projects in the City, including the Cornerstone Village
rehabilitation on Standard Avenue and Minnie Street and the conversion of
the Howard Johnson's Motel into a senior apartment complex on East
Seventeenth Street. This project, as with the prior projects completed by
Orange Housing, will preserve and improve the character and integrity of
the surrounding neighborhood through the numerous improvements proposed
for the site. The reduction in the overall number of units, in
conjunction with the strict occupancy limits, will result in a reduction
in the parking demand for the complex. As a result, staff recommends that
the Planning Commission approve Variance Nos. 2005-64 and 2005-65 as
conditioned (Exhibits 5, 6, 7 and 8) .
CEQA Compliance
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the
recommended action is exempt from further review pursuant to Section
15301. This Class 1 exemption allows the repair, maintenance and minor
alteration of existing structures with no expansion. Categorical
E;:r::::: No, 2005-210 will be filed for this project,

Page 1 of 1
Findings of Fact
A. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject
property, including size, shape, topography, location, or
surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found
to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise at
variance with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this
chapter.
Special circumstances are applicable to the subj ect site that
necessi tates a parking variance for the proj ect. The subj ect
si te currently contains 30 parking spaces, one for each unit.
The applicant will be reducing the number of units on the
premises to 24, further reducing the parking demand for the
site. Additionally, occupancy restrictions will be established
for the project that will result in a lesser number of residents
than currently found on the premises, further reducing the need
for parking. Therefore, the strict application of the zoning
code would deprive the subject property of privileges.
B. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights.
The parking variance is necessary to preserve property rights as
the owners will be rehabilitating the existing complex and
providing affordable, rent controlled housing for residents of
the City.
C. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to
the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property.
The granting of the variance for a reduction in parking will not
be detrimental to the area as the reduction in units, in
conjunction with the occupancy restrictions, will result in a
lower parking demand.
D. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the General
Plan of the City.
The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the
Ci ty I S General Plan in any way as the land use designation of
Medium Density Residential (MR) allows the rehabilitation of
existing apartment complexes.

to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise at
variance with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this

The granting of the variance for a reduction in one-bedroom unit
size will not be detrimental to the area as the reduction in

RESOLUTION NO. 2006-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA APPROVING VARIANCE NO. 2005-64 AS
CONDITIONED TO ALLOW REDUCTIONS IN THE
REQUIRED PARKING AND APPROVING VARIANCE NO.
2005-65 AS CONDITIONED TO ALLOW REDUCTION IN
THE BEDROOM SIZE FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT
1501 NORTH ROSS STREET
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines
and declares as follows:
A. Applicant is requesting approval of Variance No. 2005-64, to a reduction in
the required parking and Variance No. 2005-64 to allow one-bedroom
units that are smaller than allowed by code for the property located at
1501 North Ross Street.
B. Variance Nos. 2005-64 and 2005-65 came before the Planning
Commission on December 12, 2005 for a duly noticed public hearing and
voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council approve Variance
No. 2005-64 and Variance No. 2005-65.
C. Variance Nos. 2005-64 and 2005-65 came before the City Council for a
duly noticed public hearing on January 3, 2006.
D. Section 41-681.3(3) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAM C) requires
nonconforming multiple-family residential projects to comply with the City's
parking requirements if the number or size of the bedrooms will be
increased on the site through rehabilitation.
E. Section 41-1322 requires 74 parking spaces for the proposed project. The
current site only has 30 parking spaces available. As such, a variance of
44 parking spaces will be required.
F. The City Council determines that for Variance No. 2005-64 the following
findings, which must be established pursuant to Santa Ana Municipal
Code Section 41-638 in order to grant a variance from the provisions of
the Santa Ana Municipal Code, have been established:
i. That because of special circumstances applicable to the
subject property, including size, shape, topography, location,
Resolution No, 2006-xx
Page 1 of 7
758-14
or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning
ordinance is found to deprive the subject property of
privileges not otherwise at variance with the intent and
purpose of the provisions of this chapter.
Special circumstances are applicable to the subject
site that necessitates a parking variance for the
project. The subject site currently contains 30 parking
spaces, one for each unit. The applicant will be
reducing the number of units on the premises to 24,
further reducing the parking demand for the site.
Additionally, occupancy restrictions will be established
for the project that will result in a lesser number of
residents than currently found on the premises,
further reducing the need for parking. Therefore, the
strict application of the zoning code would deprive the
subject property of privileges.
ii. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the
preservation and enjoyment of one or more substantial
property rights.
The parking variance is necessary to preserve
property rights as the owners will be rehabilitating the
existing complex and providing affordable, rent
controlled housing for residents of the City.
iii. That the granting of a variance will not be materially
detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding
property.
The granting of the variance for a reduction in parking
will not be detrimental to the area as the reduction in
units, in conjunction with the occupancy restrictions,
will result in a lower parking demand.
iv. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the
General Plan of the City.
The granting of the variance will not adversely affect
the City's General Plan in any way as the land use
designation of Medium Density Residential (MR)
allows the rehabilitation of existing apartment
complexes.
G. Section 41-272.01 of the SAMC requires one-bedroom units to be a
minimum of 550 square feet in size. The rehabilitation project results in 13
Resolution No. 2006-xx
Page 2 of 7
758-15
one-bedroom units that are approximately 509 square feet in size. As such,
a 41 foot variance for these 13 one-bedroom units will be required.
1. The City Council determines that for Variance No. 2005-65 the
following findings, which must be established pursuant to Santa
Ana Municipal Code Section 41-638 in order to grant a variance
from the provisions of the Santa Ana Municipal Code, have been
established:
i. That because of special circumstances applicable to the
subject property, including size, shape, topography, location,
or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning
ordinance is found to deprive the subject property of
privileges not otherwise at variance with the intent and
purpose of the provisions of this chapter.
Special circumstances exist that necessitate a
variance for the unit sizes. The existing project will be
reconfigured into one and two-bedroom units through
the merger of studio units. Given the existing layout
of the project, it is unfeasible to provide units that
meet the minimum unit size for one-bedroom units.
II. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the
preservation and enjoyment of one or more substantial
property rights.
The unit size variance is necessary to preserve
property rights as the owners will be rehabilitating the
existing complex and providing affordable, rent
controlled housing for residents of the City.
iii. That the granting of a variance will not be materially
detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding
property.
The granting of the variance for a reduction in one-
bedroom unit size will not be detrimental to the area
as the reduction in units, in conjunction with the
occupancy restrictions, will result in a lower overall
occupancy level for the project.
iv. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the
General Plan of the City.
The granting of the variance will 110t adversely affect
the City's General Plan in any way as the land use
designation of Medium Density Residential (MR)
Resolution No, 2006-xx

allows the rehabilitation of existing apartment
complexes.

COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY ACTION
1. Direct the Agency General Counsel to prepare a loan agreement with
Ross & Durant, L. P. for the acquisition of a 30 unit multi-family

DISCUSSION
In an effort to provide for the demand for appropriately sized affordable
housing in the City, staff continually seeks projects that will assist in
meeting this need. The current proposed proj ects are located in the
Willard neighborhood. In this neighborhood, multi-family units make up
ninety-one percent of the total, predominately studio and one-bedroom.
While the units are small, seventy-six percent of the households in
Willard are comprised of four or more individuals.
Orange Housing Development Corporation (OHDC) and C&C R&D, LLC, have
formed a partnership, Ross & Durant, L.P. to acquire and rehabilitate two
multi-family properties located at 1501 N. Ross Street and 1411 N. Durant
Street (Exhibit 1) which have 30 and 35 studio apartments, respectively.
The Ross Street property will be converted into 24 one and two bedroom
units. The Durant Street property will be converted into 25 one, two
and three bedroom units. All but one unit designated as a manager unit
at the Durant Street property will have recorded affordability covenants,
which restrict allowable rents and incomes to very low- and low-income
households in perpetuity (Exhibit 2). In addition to affordability
covenants, the future occupancy will be restricted to three persons for
one-bedroom units, four persons for two bedroom units, and six persons
for three bedroom units.

The purchase price for 1501 N. Ross Street is $3,400,000. Development
and financing costs are estimated at $ 3,141,846 for a total project cost
of $6,541,846. Ross & Durant, L.P. will be applying for $993,100 in tax-
exempt bonds, and $ 896,138 in low-income housing tax credits that will
be used for permanent financing.
The purchase price for 1411 N. Durant Street is $4,200,000. Development
and financing costs are estimated at $ 3,221,288 for a total project cost
of $7,421,288. Ross & Durant, L.P. will be applying for $ 1,188,100 in
tax-exempt bonds, and $ 2,328,542 in low-income housing tax credits that
will be used for permanent financing. The City and Agency will provide
loan funds to both proj ects in order to fill the gap in financing the
acquisition and rehabilitation (Exhibit 3).
City and Agency funding will be contingent on approval of the bond
allocation and tax credits, and appropriate environmental clearances as
required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The acquisition and
rehabili tation of these properties will assist the City and Agency to
meet the affordable housing goals as identified in the Consolidated Plan,
Redevelopment Implementation Plan and Housing Element.
When a Redevelopment Agency enters into an agreement for the acquisition
or disposition and development of property which agreement would lead to
displacement of people from their homes, the legislative body must adopt,
by resolution, a relocation plan. The 1501 N. Ross Street and 1411 N.
Durant Relocation Plans (Exhibits 4 and 5) have been prepared in
conformance with applicable provisions of California Relocation
Assistance Law and Relocation Guidelines as well as United States
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) guidelines. These
plans are required due to the temporary and permanent relocation of
households during the rehabilitation. The developer has made
arrangements to provide temporary relocation to 43 households. There
will also be permanent relocation benefits provided to as many as 14
households. The estimated cost for relocation is $350,000 and is part of
the development budget.
This action was placed on the December 20, 2005, agenda for
recommendation by the Community Redevelopment and Housing Commission. No
action was taken due to a lack of quorum.

80A-1 0
Orange Housing Development Corp. (the Developer) has proposed the rehabilitation of
1501 N. Ross Street into a mix of affordable housing units (the Project). In addition to
interior and exterior rehabilitation activities, the Project involves the rehabilitation of the
property from studio unit apartments to a mix of 1- & 2-bedroom affordable housing units;
reducing the overall number of units from 30 to 24 units. As a result of the planned
rehabilitation, households will need to be displaced temporarily or on a permanent basis,
subject to qualifying occupancy and income standards to return to the rehabilitated units.
Funding for the Project will come from the Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) HOME program, administered through the City of Santa Ana's Community
Development Agency (the Agency); Agency tax increment monies; tax credits; and,
Developer funds. The use of HOME Program funds and the involvement of the Agency
trigger the need to provide relocation assistance and benefits in accordance with federal
law (42 U.S.C. 4601 et seq.), HUD relocation guidelines (HUD Handbook 1378), California
relocation law (California Government Code Section 7260 et seq.) and the California
relocation guidelines (California Code of Regulations Title 25 Chapter 6).
Among the regulatory requirements applicable to the Project, is the need to prepare a
relocation plan. The purposes of the relocation plan, in broad terms, are to address the
needs of potential displacees, the availability of adequate replacement housing and the
means by which required assistance will be provided.
This relocation plan (the Plan) has been prepared by Overland, Pacific & Cutler, Inc.
(OPC), a professional consulting firm specializing in public agency acquisition and
relocation projects for submission to the Agency. The Plan is organized in 4 sections:
Section I: Project description and general demographic data
Section II: Profile of tenants who may be displaced
Section III: Description of available housing resources
Section IV: Description of the relocation assistance program

C. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Project involves the rehabilitation of 1501 North Ross Street. Currently the property is
made up of studio apartments which will be converted into affordable 1- & 2-bedroom
apartments. Additionally, interior rehabilitation activities will include replacement of major
kitchen appliances, new paint and bathroom enhancements as well as replacement offloor
coverings, doors and windows. Exterior improvements will include the addition, repair or
replacement of roofs, staircases, balconies, landscaping, water heaters, decking, trash
enclosures, parking lots and building facades.
The property at 1501 North Ross Street currently has 30 studio units. The proposed
rehabilitation will create 13 one-bedroom and 11 two-bedroom apartment units. The
property will have a mix of affordability levels based on area median income (AMI) levels
determined by HUD, from levels between 40% - 60%. The proposed affordability levels for
the Ross property are shown in Table 2, below:

One Bedroom 2 11 13
Two Bedroom 1 4 6 11
Three Bedroom 0
Total 3 15 6 24
The Developer is proposing to undertake all needed improvements to the individual units,
up to 6 units at a time. The rehabilitation and construction cycle will last between three
weeks to one month per unit and the construction is expected to begin immediately
following the Agency approval in June 2006.
As a result of the rehabilitation, residents will be required to move either temporarily or
permanently from their units. Upon completion of the rehabilitation, residents who meet
qualifying occupancy and income standards will be able to return to a rehabilitated unit.
Those households which do not meet qualifying occupancy and income standards, will be

A. METHODOLOGY
To obtain information necessary for the preparation of this Plan, interviews were conducted
over a two week period in November 2005. Inquiries made of residential occupants
concerned household size and composition, income, monthly rent, length of occupancy,
ethnicity, home language, and physical disabilities. A sample of the residential interview
form used in the interview process is presented in Exhibit A.
Interviewers were successful in obtaining survey responses from 26 of 29 occupied
households. Despite several attempts, 3 households could not be reached. Additional
information gathered by the Developer from Project households was utilized for preparation
of this Plan to confirm and, when available, add to information obtained from interviews,
One unit was confirmed vacant at the time of the interviews.
B. SURVEY RESULTS
The known resident population within the Project totals 100 individuals. Among this group,
there are 61 adults and 39 children. The 30 units included in this Plan now contain 30
rentable studio apartments.
1. Occupancy
The breakdown of households by family size is as follows:

There is an average of 3.4 occupants per unit in the Project. In accordance with the
local housing codes and the proposed rehabilitation, all households would meet
necessary occupancy standards to be able to return to a rehabilitated unit in the

Project or one of the units in another Developer's complex that is less than a block
away.
2. Household Income
Income data were obtained from 29 households. According to income standards for
the County of Orange (Exhibit B) adjusted for family size as published by the United
States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), 7 Project area
tenant households qualify as extremely low income (30% or less of median), 15
qualify as very low income (31%-50% of median), and 7 as low income (51%-80%
of median). Table 4, below, identifies the breakdown between the income levels.
The range of reported annual household incomes among the 29 respondents was
$10,800-$50,037.

3. Demographic Summary
Of the 100 currently known residents, there are 61 adults and 39 children. The
ethnic distribution in the Project is 100% Hispanic with Spanish reported as their
primary household language in majority of households. This generally resembles the
ran kings and pattern in the Census Tract Area but deviates from the overall Census
figures for the City, shown in Table 5, below.

4. Profile of Potentially Displaced Residents
Funding source requirements limit occupancy in the Project to those households
which earn less than 60% of the median income standard adjusted for family size
as established by the United States Department of Urban Development (HUD) (See
Exhibit B). Based upon the most currently available tenant income data, there are
5 households whose income exceeds the permitted limit at the 1501 North Ross
apartments.
Of the 5 Project households to be permanently displaced for not meeting the
qualifying income criteria to return to the rehabilitated Project units, 2 will require
studio replacement units, 1 will need a one-bedroom and 2 will be referred to the
two-bedroom units based on a typical occupancy standards allowing up to 3 persons
in a one-bedroom and up to 5 people in a two-bedroom unit. The average known
tenure of the 5 households in the Project is approximately 2 years. There are no
senior households (head of household 62 years or older) nor any reported
disabilities that could affect the relocation process.
When asked, most of the respondents prefer to remain in the Santa Ana
neighborhood to remain close to employment and schools children attend.
Prepared by Overland, Pacific & Cutler, Inc.
Page 9
80A-19
Rehabilitation work in the Project will result in the need to temporarily displace 24 residents
from their units. Temporary relocation needs will be met by utilizing available on-site units
or units owned by the Developer less than a block away. The Developer anticipates that
all households will be accommodated on-site and no temporary units off-site will be
required.
Due to the rehabilitation work and income criteria, 5 households will not be able to return
to the Project once the units are rehabilitated.
For purposes of determining the availability of rental housing resources for the permanent
displacees within the City of Santa Ana, a survey was conducted during the month of
November 2005. The results, summarized below in Table 6, indicate the number of found
& needed units by bedroom size, the cost range in each category and median market rent
for each category.
Table 6: Rental Unit Availability and Cost by Bedroom Size
Studio 1 bedroom 2 bedroom 3 bedroom
# Found (# needed) 41 (2) 77 (1) 71 (2) 21 (0)
Rent Range $550-$1,180 $795-$1,350 $895-$1,870 $1,250-$2,100
Market Median Rent $825 $950 $1,295 $1,600
It is expected that there will be more than adequate resources to house the 5 permanent
displacees given the balance between needs and available resources.
Concurrent Displacement
There are no known projects that are planned concurrently with this project in the City of
Santa Ana or surrounding areas that would compete with existing or anticipated housing
resources.

B. RELOCATION ADVISORY ASSISTANCE
As a function of the overall relocation assistance program, technical and advisory
assistance will be provided to all residents by Agency staff, the Developer and contracted
relocation representatives. The following services and tasks will be undertaken:
1. Each displaced household will be personally interviewed to gather
information appropriate to determine needs and preferences with regard to
the replacement of existing accommodations. Inquiries made of residential
occupants by relocation personnel will cover the following areas: family size,
ethnic background, immigration status, age and health considerations,
current employment status, family income, transportation needs, and
preferences relative to replacement housing.
2. Non-displaced residents (temporary) will be provided appropriate notices and
information informing them not to move permanently and the opportunity to
lease and occupy a suitable, decent, safe and sanitary dwelling in the
Project, under reasonable terms and conditions, upon completion of the
project; reimbursement of any out-of-pocket costs; and other advisory
services.
3. A printed Informational Brochure will be provided to all displaced
households. Informational Brochures will be provided in Spanish, as
necessary. Signed acknowledgments will be obtained to verify receipt of this
material.
4. As soon as feasible, the relocation representative shall explain the relocation
payments and other assistance for which households and individuals may be
Prepared by Overland, Pacific & Cutler, Inc.

Relocation Plan for the OHDC 1501 North Ross Street Rehabilitation Project
eligible, including related eligibility requirements and the procedures for
obtaining such assistance.
4. Assistance will be provided to complete rental application forms and
coordinate move-in arrangements. Temporary displacees will be kept
informed of project timing and receive appropriate notice to prepare for
required moves. Claims for compensable expenses associated with the
temporary displacement process will be processed expeditiously.
5. Special assistance in the form of referrals to governmental and social service
agencies will be made, as appropriate.
6. Bilingual (Spanish-English) assistance will be provided, as needed.
C. RELOCATION BENEFITS (FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE)
Relocation benefits will be offered to all households temporarily or permanently displaced
in accordance with the California Relocation Law, Government Code Section 7260 et seq.,

of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), as appropriate. Benefits will
be paid to eligible displaced persons upon submission of required documentation in
accordance with approved procedures.
Eligibility requirements and benefit plans will be discussed with all temporary and
permanent displacees. In the course of personal interviews and follow-up visits, each
displacee will be counseled as to available options and the consequences of any choice
with respect to housing choices and potential financial assistance.
The Developer will process advance payment requests in order to alleviate hardships for
tenants who do not have access to sufficient funds to pay move-in costs such as first
month's rent and/or security deposits. Requests for advance payments will be processed
expeditiously to help avoid the loss of desirable, appropriate replacement housing.

The relocation process includes: household interviews; needs analyses; appropriate
replacement housing referrals; preparation and service of appropriate notices; file
documentation, eligibility determinations, processing of claims; moving coordination; and
other general services intended to assist displacees.
1. Temporary Displacees
Temporary displacees will be offered payment for all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with the temporary relocation including, but not
limited to, the cost of moving to and from the temporarily occupied unit, furniture
storage, utility connection charges, and any increase in housing costs, if any.
Additionally, temporary displacees will be provided a timely written Notice of Non-
Displacement containing an offer to lease and occupy a suitable, decent, safe and
sanitary dwelling in the same Project, under reasonable terms and conditions upon
completion of the Project. Such reasonable terms and conditions shall include a
term of at least one year at a monthly rent and estimated average monthly utility
costs that do not exceed the greater of:
(a) The tenant's monthly rent before displacement and estimated average
monthly utility costs; or
(b) The total tenant payment if the tenant is low-income or 30 percent of
gross income if the tenant is not low income.
In accordnce with HUD guidelines, "total tenant payment" is the highest of:
(1) 30% of a person's monthly adjusted income;
(2) 10% of the person's monthly gross income; or
(3) The designated allowance for rent and utility costs, if the person is
receiving welfare assistance from a public agency and part of such
assistance, adjusted in accordance with the person's actual housing
costs, is specifically designated by the public agency to meet the
person's rent and utility costs

2. Permanent Displacees
a. Residential Moving Expense Payments
All residential occupants to be relocated will be eligible to receive a payment
for moving expenses. Moving expense payments will be made based upon
the actual cost of a professional move or a fixed payment based on a room-
count schedule.
i. Actual Cost (Professional Move)
Displacees may elect to have a licensed professional mover perform
the move. The actual cost of the moving services, based on at least
two acceptable bids, will be compensated by the Developer in the
form of a direct payment to the moving company upon presentation of
an invoice. Transportation costs are limited to a distance of 50 miles
in either case. In addition to the actual move, costs associated with
utility re-connections (Le., gas, water, electricity, telephone, and cable,
if any), are eligible for reimbursement.
ii. Fixed Payment (based on Room Count Schedule)
An occupant may elect to receive a fixed payment for moving
expenses which is based on the number of rooms occupied in the
displacement dwelling. In this case, the person to be relocated takes
full responsibility for the move. The fixed payment includes all utility
connections as described in (a), above.
At a minimum, the fixed schedule payment for single occupancy
efficiency units, furnished with the tenants own personal property, is
$625 including all utility connections at the replacement location. The
current schedule for fixed moving payments is set forth in Table 7
following:

b. Rental Assistance
To qualify for a rental assistance payment, tenants who are permanently
displaced must have legally occupied their Project residence for a minimum
of 90 days prior to the Developer's executed Agreement between the Agency
and acquisition of the property. To be eligible to receive the rental assistance
benefits the displaced tenant households have to rent or purchase and
occupy a decent, safe, and sanitary replacement dwelling within one year
from the date they move from the displacement dwelling. Tenants who
occupied the property less than 90 days and have not occupied the property
for the sole purpose of obtaining benefits, may be entitled to benefits under
Last Resort Housing provisions.
Based upon the available data regarding Project displacees, the permanently
displaced households may qualify and may be eligible to apply for relocation
benefits under URA provisions.
Prepared by Overland, Pacific & Cutler, Inc.
Page 16
80A-26
Relocation Plan/or the OHDC 1501 North Ross Street Rehabilitation Project
Rental Assistance payment amounts are equal to 42 times the difference
between the base monthly rent and the lesser of:
(i) The monthly rent and estimated average monthly cost of utilities for
a comparable replacement dwelling; or
(ii) The monthly rent and estimated average monthly cost of utilities for
the decent, safe, and sanitary replacement dwelling actually occupied
by the displaced person.
The base monthly rent for the displacement dwelling is the lesser of:
(i) The average monthly cost for rent and utilities at the displacement
dwelling for a reasonable period priorto displacement, as determined
by the Developer. For owner-occupants or households, which paid
little or no rent, fair market rent will be used as a substitute for actual
rent; or
(ii) Thirty percent (30%) of the displaced person's average, monthly
gross household income if the amount is classified as "low income" by
the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD)
Annual Survey of Income Limits for the Public Housing and Section 8
Programs. HUD's Survey is shown as Exhibit B. If a displacee
refuses to provide appropriate evidence of income or is a dependent,
the base monthly rent shall be determined to be the average monthly
cost for rent and utilities at the displacement dwelling; or
(iii) The total of the amount designated for shelter and utilities if
receiving a welfare assistance payment from a program that
designated the amounts for shelter and utilities.
Utility allowance amounts are based upon the standards of the local housing
authority for a comparable type dwelling unit and the utility services the
occupant is required to pay, such as, gas, water and electric utilities.

The displacee household may opt to apply the entire benefit amount they are
eligible for toward a purchase of a replacement unit (Guidelines 49 CFR
24.402(b) and HUD 1378).
Permanently displaced households, who choose to utilize up to the full
amount of their rental assistance eligibility (including any Last Resort
benefits) to purchase a home, will have the funds deposited in an open
escrow account, provided that the entire amount is used for the
downpayment and eligible, incidental costs associated with the purchase of
a decent, safe, and sanitary replacement home. Provision shall be made in
the escrow arrangements for the prompt return of the Developerfunds, in the
event escrow should fail to close within a reasonable period of time.

3. Summary
All Project area residents will be personally informed in writing of their status as a
temporary or permanent displacee and will be provided advance written notice ofthe
date, approximate duration and location of the temporary dwelling to be made
available. Each affected household will receive printed information concerning the
benefits and assistance to which they may be entitled. Temporary households will
be informed of the terms and conditions under which the tenant may lease and
occupy a suitable dwelling in the Project upon completion of the project.
Temporary displacees will be provided compensation for reasonable and necessary
out-of-pocket expenses. All temporary displacement needs will be accommodated
on-site and should not exceed 60 days.
The Developer will make timely payments to all eligible claimants. This may include,
where necessary to avoid hardship, advance payments to help secure appropriate
replacement housing.
D. GENERAL INFORMATION ON PAYMENT OF RELOCATION BENEFITS
Claims and supporting documentation for relocation benefits must be filed with the
Developer no later than 18 months from the date the claimant moves from the Project. The
procedure for the preparation and filing of claims and the processing and delivery of
payments will be as follows:
1. Claimant(s) will provide all necessary documentation to substantiate
eligibility for assistance to the Developer's relocation representative.
2. Recommended assistance amounts will be determined by the Developer's
relocation representative in accordance with the provisions of URA.
3. Required claim forms will be prepared by the Developer's relocation
representative for claimant signature.
4. Claims will be submitted by the Developer's relocation representative to the
Developer for review, approval, and payment.
Prepared by Overland, Pacific & Cutler, Inc.
Page 19
80A-29
Relocation Plan for the OHDC 1501 North Ross Street Rehabilitation Project
5. Benefit checks will be issued to the Developer's relocation representative for
distribution to claimants.
6. Replacement housing payments to residential occupants will be issued
approximately three weeks after confirmation that the Project premises have
been vacated and residency at the replacement unit is verified, with final
payments being made as a lump sum or possibly on a periodic basis.
7. Receipts of payment will be obtained and archived by the Developer's
relocation representative in individual relocation case files.
E. LAST RESORT HOUSING
Based on data derived from the surveys and analyses of the occupants in the Project area
and costs of replacement housing resources, it is anticipated that "comparable replacement
housing" will not be available as required within the maximum relocation amounts provided
by the applicable regulations. Specifically, when the computed replacement housing
assistance eligibility exceeds $5,250 or replacement dwelling monthly rental costs
(including utilities and other reasonable recurring expenses) exceed 30% of the person's
average monthly income.
Therefore, ifthe Project proceeds, the Developerwill authorize its funds orfunds authorized
for the Project to provide housing of last resort. Due to the demonstrated number of
available replacement housing resources for the occupants, as shown above in Section
III, development of a replacement housing plan to produce sufficient number of comparable
replacement dwellings will not be necessary. Rather, funds will be used to make payments
in excess of the monetary limits specified in the statute; hence, satisfying the requirement
that "comparable replacement housing" be available.
A permanently displaced household will be entitled to consideration for supplementary
benefits in the form of Last Resort Housing assistance when comparable replacement
dwellings are not available within the monetary limits for tenants ($5,250) as specified
above in Section IV, C. 2. b., as well as, for tenants who fail to meet the 90 day length of
occupancy requirement unless such tenant occupied the property for the purpose of
obtaining assistance and benefits.

Relocation Plan for the OHDC 1501 North Ross Street Rehabilitation Project
The Developer will make Last Resort rental assistance payments on a periodic basis.
Recipients of Last Resort assistance who intend to purchase rather than re-rent
replacement housing, have the right to request a lump sum payment of all benefits for the
purpose of making a downpayment and paying standard, non-recurring closing costs.
Displacee households receiving periodic payments may elect, at any time, to request a
lump sum payment of all remaining benefits to assist with the purchase of a decent, safe,
and sanitary dwelling.
F. IMMIGRATION STATUS
Federal legislation (PL 105-117) prohibits the payment of relocation assistance benefits
under the Uniform Act to any alien not lawfully present in the United States unless such
ineligibility would result in an exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to the alien's
spouse, parent, or child any of whom is a citizen or an alien admitted for permanent
residence. Exceptional and extremely unusual hardship is defined as significant and
demonstrable adverse impact on the health or safety, continued existence of the family
unit, and any other impact determined by the Developer to negatively affect the alien's
spouse, parent or child. The Developer may elect to authorize the payment of relocation
assistance benefits to any otherwise eligible displacee from non-federally authorized
reimbursable funds.
In order to track and account for relocation assistance and benefit payments, relocation
staff will be required to seek immigration status information from each displacee 18 years
and older.
G. RELOCATION TAX CONSEQUENCES
In general, relocation payments are not considered income for the purpose of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1968, or the Personal Income Tax Law, Part 10 of the Revenue and
Taxation Code. Displaced persons are encouraged, however, to consult with personal tax
advisors concerning the tax consequences or social service providers to obtain information
concerning the tax consequences associated with relocation payments.

H. GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES
The Developer will follow the Agency's Grievance Policy which generally follows the
standards described in Article 5, Section 6150 et seq., Title 25, Chapter 6, State of
California, Department of Housing and Community Development Program guidelines. All
displaced persons have the right to ask for administrative review concerning determinations
of eligibility; relocation payment amount; the failure by the Developer to provide comparable
replacement housing referrals; or, the property management practices of the Developer.
I. EVICTION POLICY
1. Eviction may affect eligibility for relocation assistance and benefits.
Relocation records will be documented to reflect the specific circumstances
surrounding any eviction action.
2. Eviction may be undertaken for one, or more of the following reasons:
(a) Failure to pay rent, except in those cases where the failure to pay is
due to the owner's failure to keep the premises in habitable condition;
is the result of harassment or retaliatory action; or, is the result of
discontinuation, or a substantial interruption of services;
(b) Performance of a dangerous, and/or illegal act in the unit;
(c) A material breach of the rental agreement, and failure upon
notification to correct said breach within 30 days of Notice;
(d) Maintenance of a nuisance, and failure to abate such nuisance upon
notification within a reasonable time following Notice;
(e) Refusal to accept one of a reasonable number of offers of
replacement dwellings; and/or,
(f) A requirement under State, or local law or emergency circumstances
that cannot be prevented by reasonable efforts on the part of the
Developer.

J. PROJECTED DATES OF DISPLACEMENT
It is anticipated that 90-day Notices-to-Vacate will be issued to the permanent displacees
in spring 2006 and the first temporary relocatees approximately 60 days later.
K. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
The Developer will fully meet its obligations under the Relocation Guidelines with respect
to the following activities:
1. Full and timely access to documents relevant to the relocation program;
2. Provision of technical assistance necessary to interpret elements of the
Relocation Plan and other pertinent materials;
3. Distribution of a general notice concerning the availability of this Plan for
public review, as required, 30 days prior to its proposed adoption. Notice
recipients will include affected Project residents and all other interested
parties;
4. The opportunity to submit written or oral comments concerning the Plan and
to have these comments attached to the Plan when it is forwarded to the
Agency Board for adoption;
5. Final review of Plan to ensure its feasibility, compliance with applicable
environmental standards and compatibility with the City's General Plan and
relocation guidelines.
L. ESTIMATED RELOCATION COSTS
The Project will be funded with a combination of local, state, federal and Developer funds.
The estimate of relocation benefits is based on tenant data and current market rental rates.
Estimated relocation costs for the Project, including a 10% contingency are:

The estimated relocation budget does not include consideration of relocation administrative
services nor any related consulting services which may be necessary for the
implementation of the Plan and Project. It does, however, assume that 50% of all
temporary moves will require double moving allowance: to a temporary unit and back into
the original unit.

80A-46
Orange Housing Development Corp. (the Developer) has proposed the rehabilitation of
1411 North Durant Street into a mix of affordable housing units (the Project). In addition to
interior and exterior rehabilitation activities, the Project involves the rehabilitation of the
property from studio unit apartments to a mix of 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom affordable housing
units; reducing the overall number of units from 35 to 25 units. As a result of the planned
rehabilitation, households will need to be displaced temporarily or on a permanent basis,
subject to qualifying occupancy and income standards to return to the rehabilitated units.
Funding for the Project will come from the Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) HOME program, administered through the City of Santa Ana's Community
Development Agency (the Agency); Agency tax increment monies; tax credits; and,
Developer funds. The use of HOME Program funds and the involvement of the Agency
trigger the need to provide relocation assistance and benefits in accordance with federal
law (42 U.S.C. 4601 et seq.), HUD relocation guidelines (HUD Handbook 1378), California
relocation law (California Government Code Section 7260 et seq.) and the California
relocation guidelines (California Code of Regulations Title 25 Chapter 6).
Among the regulatory requirements applicable to the Project, is the need to prepare a
relocation plan. The purposes of the relocation plan, in broad terms, are to address the
needs of potential displacees, the availability of adequate replacement housing and the
means by which required assistance will be provided.
This relocation plan (the Plan) has been prepared by Overland, Pacific & Cutler, Inc.
(OPC), a professional consulting firm specializing in public agency acquisition and
relocation projects for submission to the Agency. The Plan is organized in 4 sections:
Section I: Project description and general demographic data
Section II: Profile of tenants who may be displaced
Section III: Description of available housing resources
Section IV: Description of the relocation assistance program

Relocation Plan for the OHDC 1411 North Durant Street Rehabilitation Project
C. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Project involves the rehabilitation of 1411 North Durant Street. Currently the property
is made up of studio apartments which will be converted into affordable 1-, 2-, and 3-
bedroom apartments. Additionally, interior rehabilitation activities will include replacement
of major kitchen appliances, new paint and bathroom enhancements as well as
replacement of floor coverings, doors and windows. Exterior improvements will include the
addition, repair or replacement of roofs, staircases, balconies, landscaping, water heaters,
decking, trash enclosures, parking lots and building facades.
The property at 1411 North Durant currently has 35 studio units and 1 office. The proposed
rehabilitation will create 5 one-bedroom, 10 two-bedroom and 10 three-bedroom apartment
units and will have a mix of affordability levels based on area median income (AMI) levels
determined by HUD, from levels between 40% - 60%. One two-bedroom unit will be created
without an affordability level for use by the Apartment Manager. The proposed affordability
levels are shown in Table 2, below:

Two Bedroom* 1 3 5 9
Three Bedroom 2 3 5 10
Total 4 6 14 24
*Plus one (1) two-bedroom Managers unit not at an affordable level
The Developer is proposing to undertake all needed improvements to the individual units,
up to 6 units at a time. The rehabilitation and construction cycle will last between 3 weeks
to 1 month per unit and the construction is expected to begin immediately following the
Agency approval in June 2006.
As a result of the rehabilitation, residents will be required to move either temporarily or
permanently from their units. Upon completion of the rehabilitation, residents who meet
qualifying occupancy and income standards will be able to return to a rehabilitated unit.

Those households which do not meet qualifying occupancy and income standards, will be
permanently displaced and provided appropriate and eligible relocation advisory and
monetary assistance.

A. METHODOLOGY
To obtain information necessary for the preparation of this Plan, interviews were conducted
over a two week period in November 2005. Inquiries made of residential occupants
concerned household size and composition, income, monthly rent, length of occupancy,
ethnicity, home language, and physical disabilities. A sample of the residential interview
form used in the interview process is presented in Exhibit A.
Interviewers were successful in obtaining survey responses from 29 of 32 occupied
households. Despite several attempts, 3 households could not be reached. Additional
information gathered by the Developer from Project households was utilized for preparation
of this Plan to confirm and, when available, add to information obtained from interviews.
Three units were confirmed vacant at the time of the interviews.
B. SURVEY RESULTS
The known resident population within the Project totals 99 individuals. Among this group,
there are 61 adults and 38 children. The 35 units included in this Plan now contain 35
rentable studio apartments. An additional space is used as the manager's office and is not
a legal unit for habitation.
1. Occupancy
The breakdown of households by family size is as follows:
Table 3: Distribution of Households by Family Size (30 households)
# in Household 2 3 4 5 6

@ 1411 N Durant 3 6 6 9 6 0
There is an average of 3.3 occupants per unit in the Project. In accordance with the
local housing codes and the proposed rehabilitation, all households would meet

Relocation Plan for the OHDC 1411 North Durant Street Rehabilitation Project
necessary occupancy standards to be able to return to a rehabilitated unit in the
Project.
2. Household Income
Income data were obtained from 30 households. According to income standards for
the County of Orange (Exhibit B) adjusted for family size as published by the United
States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), 5 Project area
tenant households qualify as extremely low income (30% or less of median), 8
qualify as very low income (31%-50% of median), 14 as low income (51%-80% of
median), 2 as moderate income (81%-120% of median), and 1 qualifies as above
moderate income (over 120% of median). Table 4, below, identifies the breakdown
between the income levels. The range of reported annual household incomes
among the 59 respondents was $12,000-$99,175.

3. Demographic Summary
Of the 99 currently known residents, there are 61 adults and 38 children. The ethnic
distribution in the Project is 100% Hispanic with Spanish reported as their primary
household language in majority of households. This generally resembles the
rankings and pattern in the Census Tract Area but deviates from the overall Census
figures for the City, shown in Table 5, below.

4. Profile of Potentially Displaced Residents
Funding source requirements limit occupancy in the Project to those households
which earn less than 60% of the median income standard adjusted for family size
as established by the United States Department of Urban Development (HUD) (See
Exhibit B). Based upon the most currently available tenant income data, there are
11 households whose income exceeds the permitted limit at the 1411 North Durant
location.
Of the 11 Project households to be permanently displaced for not meeting the
qualifying income criteria to return to the rehabilitated Project units, 5 will require
studio replacement units, 3 will need a one-bedroom and 3 will be referred to the
two-bedroom units based on a typical occupancy standards allowing up to 3 persons
in a one-bedroom and up to 5 people in a two-bedroom unit. There are no senior
households (head of household 62 years or older) nor any reported disabilities that
could affect the relocation process.
When asked, most of the respondents prefer to remain in the Santa Ana
neighborhood to remain close to employment and schools children attend.

Rehabilitation work in the Project will result in the need to temporarily displace 19 residents
from their units. Temporary relocation needs will be met by utilizing available on-site units.
The Developer anticipates that all households will be accommodated on-site and no
temporary units off-site will be required.
Due to the rehabilitation work and income criteria, 11 households will not be able to return
to the Project once the units are rehabilitated. Forthe purpose of this Plan, the assumption
was made that the 2 non-contacted units will not meet the income criteria and will need to
be permanently relocated; thereby making the total number of permanent displaced
households to be 13.
For purposes of determining the availability of rental housing resources for the permanent
displacees within the City of Santa Ana, a survey was conducted during the month of
November 2005. The results, summarized below in Table 6, indicate the number of found
& needed units by bedroom size, the cost range in each category and median market rent
for each category.
Table 6: Rental Unit Availability and Costby Bedroom Size
Studio 1 bedroom 2 bedroom 3 bedroom
# Found (# needed) 41 (5) 77 (3) 71 (3) 21 (2)*
Rent Range $550-$1,180 $795-$1,350 $895-$1,870 $1,250-$2,100
Market Median Rent $825 $950 $1,295 $1,600
*Assumption made that the 2 no-contact households would require a 3-bedroom unit
It is expected that there will be more than adequate resources to house the 13 permanent
displacees given the balance between needs and available resources.
Concurrent Displacement
There are no known projects that are planned concurrently with this project in the City of
Santa Ana or surrounding areas that would compete with existing or anticipated housing
resources.

The relocation program and assistance offered by the Developerwill conform to provisions
of the California Relocation Law, Government Code Section 7260 et seq., the California
Relocation Guidelines, California Code of Regulations Title 25, Chapter 6, as amended
January 1, 1998, the federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition
Policies Act of 1970 (URA) and the implementing regulations of Handbook 1378 of the
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), as appropriate.
A. PROGRAM ASSURANCES, STANDARDS AND OBJECTIVES
To meet its regulatory obligations, the Developer will:
1. Fully inform eligible project occupants of the nature of, and procedures for
obtaining relocation assistance and benefits, including the date and
approximate duration of temporary relocation.
2. Determine the needs of each residential displacee household eligible for
assistance.
3. Provide an adequate number of referrals with addresses to comparable,
decent, safe and sanitary housing units within a reasonable time prior to
displacement and supply information concerning the terms and conditions
under which the tenant may lease and occupy said housing.
4. Assure that no residential occupant is required to move without a minimum
of 90 days written notice to vacate.
5. Provide assistance that does not result in different, or separate treatment due
to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, marital status,
or other arbitrary circumstances.
6. Supply information concerning federal, and state housing programs and other
governmental programs providing assistance to displaced persons, as
needed.
Prepared by Overland, Pacific & Cutler, Inc.

7. Assist each eligible person to complete applications for benefits.
8. Make relocation benefit payments in accordance with State and HUD
guidelines.
9. Inform all persons of the Developer's property management policies including
criteria for pursuing tenant evictions.
B. RELOCATION ADVISORY ASSISTANCE
As a function of the overall relocation assistance program, technical and advisory
assistance will be provided to all residents by Agency staff, the Developer and contracted
relocation representatives. The following services and tasks will be undertaken:
1. Each displaced household will be personally interviewed to gather
information appropriate to determine needs and preferences with regard to
the replacement of existing accommodations. Inquiries made of residential
occupants by relocation personnel will cover the following areas: family size,
ethnic background, immigration status, age and health considerations,
current employment status, family income, transportation needs, and
preferences relative to replacement housing.
2. Non-displaced residents (temporary) will be provided appropriate notices and
information informing them not to move permanently and the opportunity to
lease and occupy a suitable, decent, safe and sanitary dwelling in the
Project, under reasonable terms and conditions, upon completion of the
project; reimbursement of any out-of-pocket costs; and other advisory
services.
3. A printed Informational Brochure will be provided to all displaced
households. Informational Brochures will be provided in Spanish, as
necessary. Signed acknowledgments will be obtained to verify receipt of this
material.
4. As soon as feasible, the relocation representative shall explain the relocation
payments and other assistance for which households and individuals may be
Prepared by Overland, Pacific & Cutler, Inc.
Page 12
80A-58
Relocation Plan for the OHDC 1411 North Durant Street Rehabilitation Project
eligible, including related eligibility requirements and the procedures for
obtaining such assistance.
4. Assistance will be provided to complete rental application forms and
coordinate move-in arrangements. Temporary displacees will be kept
informed of project timing and receive appropriate notice to prepare for
required moves. Claims for compensable expenses associated with the
temporary displacement process will be processed expeditiously.
5. Special assistance in the form of referrals to governmental and social service
agencies will be made, as appropriate.
6. Bilingual (Spanish-English) assistance will be provided, as needed.
C. RELOCATION BENEFITS (FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE)
Relocation benefits will be offered to all households temporarily or permanently displaced
in accordance with the California Relocation Law, Government Code Section 7260 et seq.,
the California Relocation Guidelines, California Code of Regulations Title 25, Chapter 6,
as amended January 1, 1998, the federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property
Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (URA) and the implementing regulations of Handbook 1378
of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), as appropriate. Benefits will
be paid to eligible displaced persons upon submission of required documentation in
accordance with approved procedures.
Eligibility requirements and benefit plans will be discussed with all temporary and
permanent displacees. In the course of personal interviews and follow-up visits, each
displacee will be counseled as to available options and the consequences of any choice
with respect to housing choices and potential financial assistance.
The Developer will process advance payment requests in order to alleviate hardships for
tenants who do not have access to sufficient funds to pay move-in costs such as first
month's rent and/or security deposits. Requests for advance payments will be processed
expeditiously to help avoid the loss of desirable, appropriate replacement housing.

Relocation Plan for the OHDC 1411 North Durant Street Rehabilitation Project
The relocation process includes: household interviews; needs analyses; appropriate
replacement housing referrals; preparation and service of appropriate notices; file
documentation, eligibility determinations, processing of claims; moving coordination; and
other general services intended to assist displacees.
1. Temporary Displacees
Temporary displacees will be offered payment for all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with the temporary relocation including, but not
limited to, the cost of moving to and from the temporarily occupied unit, furniture
storage, utility connection charges, and any increase in housing costs, if any.
Additionally, temporary displacees will be provided a timely written Notice of Non-
Displacement containing an offer to lease and occupy a suitable, decent, safe and
sanitary dwelling in the same Project, under reasonable terms and conditions upon
completion of the Project. Such reasonable terms and conditions shall include a
term of at least one year at a monthly rent and estimated average monthly utility
costs that do not exceed the greater of:
(a) The tenant's monthly rent before displacement and estimated average
monthly utility costs; or
(b) The total tenant payment if the tenant is low-income or 30 percent of
gross income if the tenant is not low income.
In accordnce with HUD guidelines, "total tenant payment" is the highest of:
(1) 30% of a person's monthly adjusted income;
(2) 10% of the person's monthly gross income; or
(3) The designated allowance for rent and utility costs, if the person is
receiving welfare assistance from a public agency and part of such
assistance, adjusted in accordance with the person's actual housing
costs, is specifically designated by the public agency to meet the
person's rent and utility costs

Relocation Plan for the OHDC 1411 North Durant Street Rehabilitation Project
2. Permanent Displacees
a. Residential Moving Expense Payments
All residential occupants to be relocated will be eligible to receive a payment
for moving expenses. Moving expense payments will be made based upon
the actual cost of a professional move or a fixed payment based on a room-
count schedule.
i. Actual Cost (Professional Move)
Displacees may elect to have a licensed professional mover perform
the move. The actual cost of the moving services, based on at least
two acceptable bids, will be compensated by the Developer in the
form of a direct payment to the moving company upon presentation of
an invoice. Transportation costs are limited to a distance of 50 miles
in either case. In addition to the actual move, costs associated with
utility re-connections (Le., gas, water, electricity, telephone, and cable,
if any), are eligible for reimbursement.
ii. Fixed Payment (based on Room Count Schedule)
An occupant may elect to receive a fixed payment for moving
expenses which is based on the number of rooms occupied in the
displacement dwelling. In this case, the person to be relocated takes
full responsibility for the move. The fixed payment includes all utility
connections as described in (a), above.
At a minimum, the fixed schedule payment for single occupancy
efficiency units, furnished with the tenants own personal property, is
$625 including all utility connections at the replacement location. The
current schedule for fixed moving payments is set forth in Table 7
following:

Each additional room $65
b. Rental Assistance
To qualify for a rental assistance payment, tenants who are permanently
displaced must have legally occupied their Project residence for a minimum
of 90 days prior to the Developer's executed Agreement between the Agency
and acquisition ofthe property. To be eligible to receive the rental assistance
benefits the displaced tenant households have to rent or purchase and
occupy a decent, safe, and sanitary replacement dwelling within one year
from the date they move from the displacement dwelling. Tenants who
occupied the property less than 90 days and have not occupied the property
for the sole purpose of obtaining benefits, may be entitled to benefits under
Last Resort Housing provisions.
Based upon the available data regarding Project displacees, the permanently
displaced households may qualify and may be eligible to apply for relocation
benefits under URA provisions.
Prepared by Overland, Pacific & Cutler, Inc.
Page 16
80A-62
Relocation Plan for the OHDC 1411 North Durant Street Rehabilitation Project
Rental Assistance payment amounts are equal to 42 times the difference
between the base monthly rent and the lesser of:
(i) The monthly rent and estimated average monthly cost of utilities for
a comparable replacement dwelling; or
(ii) The monthly rent and estimated average monthly cost of utilities for
the decent, safe, and sanitary replacement dwelling actually occupied
by the displaced person.
The base monthly rent for the displacement dwelling is the lesser of:
(i) The average monthly cost for rent and utilities at the displacement
dwelling for a reasonable period prior to displacement, as determined
by the Developer. For owner-occupants or households, which paid
little or no rent, fair market rent will be used as a substitute for actual
rent; or
(ii) Thirty percent (30%) of the displaced person's average, monthly
gross household income if the amount is classified as "low income" by
the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD)
Annual Survey of Income Limits for the Public Housing and Section 8
Programs. HUD's Survey is shown as Exhibit B. If a displacee
refuses to provide appropriate evidence of income or is a dependent,
the base monthly rent shall be determined to be the average monthly
cost for rent and utilities at the displacement dwelling; or
(iii) The total of the amount designated for shelter and utilities if
receiving a welfare assistance payment from a program that
designated the amounts for shelter and utilities.
Utility allowance amounts are based upon the standards of the local housing
authority for a comparable type dwelling unit and the utility services the
occupant is required to pay, such as, gas, water and electric utilities.

6. Lesser of lines 4 or 5 $750
7. Yields Monthly Need: $100 Subtract line 3 from line 6
Rental Assistance $4,200 Multiply line 7 by 42 months
c. Downpayment Assistance
The displacee household may opt to apply the entire benefit amount they are
eligible for toward a purchase of a replacement unit (Guidelines 49 CFR
24.402(b) and HUD 1378).
Permanently displaced households, who choose to utilize up to the full
amount of their rental assistance eligibility (including any Last Resort
benefits) to purchase a home, will have the funds deposited in an open
escrow account, provided that the entire amount is used for the
down payment and eligible, incidental costs associated with the purchase of
a decent, safe, and sanitary replacement home. Provision shall be made in
the escrow arrangements for the prompt return of the Developer funds, in the
event escrow should fail to close within a reasonable period of time.

3. Summary
All Project area residents will be personally informed in writing of their status as a
temporary or permanent displacee and will be provided advance written notice ofthe
date, approximate duration and location of the temporary dwelling to be made
available. Each affected household will receive printed information concerning the
benefits and assistance to which they may be entitled. Temporary households will
be informed of the terms and conditions under which the tenant may lease and
occupy a suitable dwelling in the Project upon completion of the project.
Temporary displacees will be provided compensation for reasonable and necessary
out-of-pocket expenses. All temporary displacement needs will be accommodated
on-site and should not exceed 60 days.
The Developerwill make timely payments to all eligible claimants. This may include,
where necessary to avoid hardship, advance payments to help secure appropriate
replacement housing.
D. GENERAL INFORMATION ON PAYMENT OF RELOCATION BENEFITS
Claims and supporting documentation for relocation benefits must be filed with the
Developer no later than 18 months from the date the claimant moves from the Project. The
procedure for the preparation and filing of claims and the processing and delivery of
payments will be as follows:
1. Claimant(s) will provide all necessary documentation to substantiate
eligibility for assistance to the Developer's relocation representative.
2. Recommended assistance amounts will be determined by the Developer's
relocation representative in accordance with the provisions of URA.
3. Required claim forms will be prepared by the Developer's relocation
representative for claimant signature.
4. Claims will be submitted by the Developer's relocation representative to the
Developer for review, approval, and payment.
Prepared by Overland, Pacific & Cutler, Inc.
Page 19
80A-65
80A-66
Relocation Plan for the OHDC 1411 North Durant Street Rehabilitation Project
5. Benefit checks will be issued to the Developer's relocation representative for
distribution to claimants.
6, Replacement housing payments to residential occupants will be issued
approximately three weeks after confirmation that the Project premises have
been vacated and residency at the replacement unit is verified, with final
payments being made as a lump sum or possibly on a periodic basis.
7. Receipts of payment will be obtained and archived by the Developer's
relocation representative in individual relocation case files.
E. LAST RESORT HOUSING
Based on data derived from the surveys and analyses of the occupants in the Project area
and costs of replacement housing resources, it is anticipated that "comparable replacement
housing" will not be available as required within the maximum relocation amounts provided
by the applicable regulations. Specifically, when the computed replacement housing
assistance eligibility exceeds $5,250 or replacement dwelling monthly rental costs
(including utilities and other reasonable recurring expenses) exceed 30% of the person's
average monthly income.
Therefore, ifthe Project proceeds, the Developerwill authorize its funds or funds authorized
for the Project to provide housing of last resort. Due to the demonstrated number of
available replacement housing resources for the occupants, as shown above in Section
III, development of a replacement housing plan to produce sufficient nu mber of comparable
replacement dwellings will not be necessary. Rather, funds will be used to make payments
in excess of the monetary limits specified in the statute; hence, satisfying the requirement
that "comparable replacement housing" be available.
A permanently displaced household will be entitled to consideration for supplementary
benefits in the form of Last Resort Housing assistance when comparable replacement
dwellings are not available within the monetary limits for tenants ($5,250) as specified
above in Section IV, C. 2. b., as well as, for tenants who fail to meet the 90 day length of
occupancy requirement unless such tenant occupied the property for the purpose of
obtaining assistance and benefits.
Prepared by Overland, Pacific & Cutler, Inc.
Page 20
80A-67
Relocation Plan for the OHDC 1411 North Durant Street Rehabilitation Project
The Developer will make Last Resort rental assistance payments on a periodic basis.
Recipients of Last Resort assistance who intend to purchase rather than re-rent
replacement housing, have the right to request a lump sum payment of all benefits for the
purpose of making a downpayment and paying standard, non-recurring closing costs.
Displacee households receiving periodic payments may elect, at any time, to request a
lump sum payment of all remaining benefits to assist with the purchase of a decent, safe,
and sanitary dwelling.
F. IMMIGRATION STATUS
Federal legislation (PL 105-117) prohibits the payment of relocation assistance benefits
under the Uniform Act to any alien not lawfully present in the United States unless such
ineligibility would result in an exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to the alien's
spouse, parent, or child any of whom is a citizen or an alien admitted for permanent
residence. Exceptional and extremely unusual hardship is defined as significant and
demonstrable adverse impact on the health or safety, continued existence of the family
unit, and any other impact determined by the Developer to negatively affect the alien's
spouse, parent or child. The Developer may elect to authorize the payment of relocation
assistance benefits to any otherwise eligible displacee from non-federally authorized
reimbursable funds.
In order to track and account for relocation assistance and benefit payments, relocation
staff will be required to seek immigration status information from each displacee 18 years
and older.
G. RELOCATION TAX CONSEQUENCES
In general, relocation payments are not considered income for the purpose of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1968, or the Personal Income Tax Law, Part 10 of the Revenue and
Taxation Code. Displaced persons are encouraged, however, to consult with personal tax
advisors concerning the tax consequences or social service providers to obtain information
concerning the tax consequences associated with relocation payments.

80A-68
Relocation Plan for the OHDC 1411 North Durant Street Rehabilitation Project
H. GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES
The Developer will follow the Agency's Grievance Policy which generally follows the
standards described in Article 5, Section 6150 et seq., Title 25, Chapter 6, State of
California, Department of Housing and Community Development Program guidelines. All
displaced persons have the right to ask for administrative review concerning determinations
of eligibility; relocation payment amount; the failure by the Developer to provide comparable
replacement housing referrals; or, the property management practices of the Developer.
I. EVICTION POLICY
1. Eviction may affect eligibility for relocation assistance and benefits.
Relocation records will be documented to reflect the specific circumstances
surrounding any eviction action.
2. Eviction may be undertaken for one, or more of the following reasons:
(a) Failure to pay rent, except in those cases where the failure to pay is
due to the owner's failure to keep the premises in habitable condition;
is the result of harassment or retaliatory action; or, is the result of
discontinuation, or a substantial interruption of services;
(b) Performance of a dangerous, and/or illegal act in the unit;
(c) A material breach of the rental agreement, and failure upon
notification to correct said breach within 30 days of Notice;
(d) Maintenance of a nuisance, and failure to abate such nuisance upon
notification within a reasonable time following Notice;
(e) Refusal to accept one of a reasonable number of offers of
replacement dwellings; and/or,
(f) A requirement under State, or local law or emergency circumstances
that cannot be prevented by reasonable efforts on the part of the
Developer.

Relocation Plan for the OHDC 1411 North Durant Street Rehabilitation Project
J. PROJECTED DATES OF DISPLACEMENT
It is anticipated that 90-day Notices-to-Vacate will be issued to the permanent displacees
in spring 2006 and the first temporary relocatees approximately 60 days later.
K. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
The Developer will fully meet its obligations under the Relocation Guidelines with respect
to the following activities:
1. Full and timely access to documents relevant to the relocation program;
2. Provision of technical assistance necessary to interpret elements of the
Relocation Plan and other pertinent materials;
3. Distribution of a general notice concerning the availability of this Plan for
public review, as required, 30 days prior to its proposed adoption. Notice
recipients will include affected Project residents and all other interested
parties;
4. The opportunity to submit written or oral comments concerning the Plan and
to have these comments attached to the Plan when it is forwarded to the
Agency Board for adoption;
5. Final review of Plan to ensure its feasibility, compliance with applicable
environmental standards and compatibility with the City's General Plan and
relocation guidelines.
L. ESTIMATED RELOCATION COSTS
The Project will be funded with a combination of local, state, federal and Developer funds.
The estimate of relocation benefits is based on tenant data and current market rental rates.
Estimated relocation costs for the Project, including a 10% contingency are:

1411 N Durant
10% Contingency
TOTAL
$144,000
$14.400
$158,400
The estimated relocation budget does not include consideration of relocation administrative
services nor any related consulting services which may be necessary for the
implementation of the Plan and Project. It does, however, assume that 50% of all
temporary moves will require double moving allowance: to a temporary unit and back into
the original unit.

acquisition and rehabilitation financing to Ross & Durant, L.P., for the purchase
and rehabilitation of a multi-family housing unit on N. Durant Street.
B. Ross & Durant is proposing to reconfigure the property located at 1411 N.
Durant Street, presently consisting of 35 studio units, into five one-bedroom, ten
two-bedroom and ten three-bedroom units.
C. Pursuant to California Government Code section 7260, et seq., a public
entity is required to adopt a relocation plan, by resolution, whenever it enters into
an agreement for acquisition of real property or an agreement for the disposition
and development of property which would lead to displacement of people from
their homes.
D. The Ross Street relocation plan has been prepared in conformance with
applicable provisions of the California Government Code section 7260, et seq.,
Relocation Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 25) and Handbook
1378 of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.
E. The relocation plan is required due to the temporary displacement of 19
households in the 1411 N. Durant Street acquisition and rehabilitation project.
Temporary relocation needs will be met by utilizing available on-site units.
Thirteen households will be permanently displaced for not meeting the qualifying
income criteria to return to the rehabilitated Project units.
