purchase price of $880,000 represents the current fair market value for
the property. In an effort to preserve the historic integrity of the
original horne, the property will be rehabilitated in coordination with
the French Park Neighborhood Association and in accordance with state
historic requirements. Once the property is rehabilitated, it will be
sold to a moderate-income household. At the time the property is sold,
there will be restrictions regarding re-sale affordabili ty and
maintenance standards recorded against the property.
The California Health and Safety Code (Code) requires that when a
Redevelopment Agency enters into an agreement for the acquisition or
disposition and development of property that would lead to displacement
of people from their homes, the legislative body must adopt, by
resolution, a relocation plan. The acquisition of the property and
subsequent demolition of the existing improvements will result in the
displacement of seven households. The attached Relocation Plan (Exhibit
2) addresses this displacement and has been prepared in accordance with
the Code.
Addi tionally, the Code requires the Agency to adopt, by resolution, a
replacement housing plan whenever it destroys or removes dwelling units
from the low- and moderate-income housing market. Among other things,
this replacement housing plan shall specify how and where the Agency
shall provide replacement housing units. The attached Replacement
Housing Plan (Exhibit 3) has been prepared for the property in
accordance with the Code.
CEQA COMPLIANCE
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, Categorical
Exemption No. ER 2006-176 will be filed for this property.

REPLACEMENT HOUSING PLAN
Statement of Purpose and Obiectives
This Replacement Housing Plan is prepared in accordance with California Health and
Safety Code Section 33413. The project consists of the acquisition and removal from the
housing market of the residential property located at 1004 North French Street in the City
of Santa Ana by the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Ana
(Agency). The property consists of a single family home that has been divided into three
rental units and a four-plex.
Six of these units are one bedroom, and the seventh is a studio unit. All were occupied
by very low-income households. Therefore they are subject to replacement in accordance
with the legal requirements of the California Community Redevelopment Law (Health
and Safety Code Section 33413 et seq.).
Replacement units will initially be made available for occupancy at any time during the
period beginning one year before the Agency's submission of the information required
under the Plan and ending four years after acquisition of the property and its removal
from the low- and moderate-income housing market. All replacement housing will be
provided within four years of acquisition of the property and its removal from the low-
and moderate-income housing market.
Proiect Property Description
The location of the project property is identified in a site map, attached as Exhibit 1. The
property is further described in Exhibit 2, which identifies the property by address with
parcel number and number of bedrooms. Pursuant to the California Community
Redevelopment Law (Health and Safety Code Section 33413 et seq.) all occupied and
vacant occupiable units will be replaced in kind.
Replacement Housing Units
Exhibit 3 delineates by number of bedrooms the location where the replacement units are
or will be located. It is anticipated that 1411 North Durant Street and 1501 North Ross
Street units will be utilized for replacement housing purposes. Any replacement units not
accommodated in these projects will be developed on infill sites or will be acquired or
otherwise caused by regulation or agreement for the purchase of long term affordability
covenants that meet replacement obligations for the 1004 North French Street project. In
addition, the City's Housing Element identifies potential sites where any remaining
replacement units may be located.
Income Level of Replacement Units
The replacement dwelling units will be affordable and occupied exclusively by tenants
with the same income levels as the persons displaced from the dwelling units that are

being removed from the low-, very low- and moderate-income housing market.
Therefore, all units will be made available to low-, very low- and moderate-income
households.
Funding Source
The Agency and the City of Santa Ana have committed sufficient Tax Increment funds to
finance the required replacement units.
Low/Moderate Income Assurance
All agreements related to replacement housing units will contain a covenant requiring
that units remain available at affordable housing cost to, and occupied by, persons and
families of very-low, low- and moderate-income for not less than fifty-five years for
rental properties and for not less than forty-five years for homeownership units, as
required by the Health and Safety Code Section 33413.
Article 34 Compliance
The replacement housing to be provided pursuant to this Replacement Housing Plan does
not require the approval of the voters pursuant to Article 34 of the California
Constitution, in that all of the replacement housing units fall within exceptions to the
definition of "low-rent housing project" in California Health and Safety Code Section
37001.
A vailabilitv of Plan
Section 33413.5 of the Health and Safety Code requires that, for a reasonable period of
time prior to its adoption by resolution, the Agency make available a draft of this
Replacement Housing Plan for review and comment by the project area committee, other
public agencies, and the general public. Beginning October 23,2006 and ending
