CITY OF PALM DESERT
DATE: 25 MAY 2000
TO: ACTING CITY MANAGER, HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF
CITY COUNCIL
FROM: LAURI AYLAIAN,PROJECT ADMINISTRATOR
SUBJECT: FRED WARING DRIVE IMPROVEMENTS
APPROVAL OF RELOCATION PLAN
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Council, by minute motion, approve the Relocation Plan prepared for
the Fred Waring Drive Improvements Project.
Background:
Public entities undertaking projects that may displace residents are governed in their relocation
assistance and real property acquisition efforts by Title 25, Division 1, Chapter 6, Subchapter 1
of the California Code of Regulations. One of the requirements of Title 25 is that a relocation
plan be prepared following the initiation of negotiations to acquire property for a project. The
City of Palm Desert retained specialty consultants, Overland Resources, in November 1999 to
begin preparing the Relocation Plan for the Fred Waring Drive Improvements Project ("the
Plan").
The purpose of the required relocation plan is to determine who would be impacted by a
proposed project, what resources are available to relocate displaced residents, how relocation
assistance will be provided, and when displacement would occur. To prepare the Plan, Overland
Resources conducted interviews with the residents of Fred Waring Drive who are expected to be
displaced. From these interviews, they analyzed the aggregate relocation needs of everyone to
be displaced, and prepared a plan for meeting those needs. They surveyed the real estate housing
market to determine availability of housing to which displaced residents could move. They
developed a plan for citizen participation which included a public meeting and inviting displaced
residents to form an advisory committee.
On 12 April 2000 the draft Relocation Plan was distributed to all residents on the north side of
Fred Waring Drive between San Pascual Avenue and Deep Canyon Road. It was also forwarded
to regional housing advocacy groups and made available to the public upon request. A public
meeting was held to explain the Relocation Plan to impacted residents and to answer their
questions. No comments have been received from the public, impacted residents, or the
advocacy groups. No advisory committee was formed by the residents who will be displaced.
One comment was received from the RDA Housing Manager regarding HUD income statistics
that were outdated; that deficiency has been corrected.
Based upon the forgoing information, Staff recommends that the City Council approve the
attached Relocation Plan for the Fred Waring Drive Improvements Program. The Plan is
consistent with relocation benefits that have been described to and offered to residents who will
be displaced by the project. The comment period exceeded the required minimum 30 day review
period.

APPENDIX
1. PROJECT AREA PHOTOGRAPHS A
INTRODUCT ION
In 1990, the Coachella Valley Association of Governments' ("CVAG") Area
Transportation Study reviewed traffic across the Coachella Valley and made
recommendations for accommodating traffic anticipated for the year 2010. This study
recommended that Fred Waring Drive be widened to six lanes in order to meet projected
traffic volumes for 2010. In fall 1993, the City of Palm Desert ("City") staff met with
representatives of La Quinta, Indian Wells and CVAG to review the plans for Fred
Waring Drive. At that time, funding was not available and traffic levels did not warrant
increasing the number of travel lanes, but the expectation was that by 2004, a six-lane
thoroughfare could be required. (See Project Site Map-Attachment 1).
In response to a number of comments from the public, the City of Palm Desert Public
Works Department reviewed the traffic volumes in late 1999, and performed a needs
analysis for the proposed widening. The analysis found that portions of Fred Waring
Drive were operating at a Level of Service (LOS) "D" or lower. Other portions of Fred
Waring Drive that were operating at LOS "C" would likely decline to LOS "E" by 2003.
The City has established LOS "C" as their standard, so current traffic on parts of Fred
Waring Drive exceeds the standards for a four lane road. Consequently, the City has
hired consultants to review options for widening the road, to prepare an environmental
study on the proposed widening, and to develop budget costs for right-of-way
acquisition, design and construction of such a project.
The section of road to be addressed by this report is between San Pascual Avenue and
Deep Canyon Road. With successful completion of the environmental studies, design
and any necessary right-of-way acquisition, widening to six lanes for this section of Fred
Waring Drive could begin construction in July, 2001.
The proposed project (the "Project") is intended to include six travel lanes, bike lanes,
golf cart paths, sidewalks, and landscaped medians. However, since no design work
has been completed, it is premature to say whether or not all amenities can be provided,
how wide they will be, or how they will be configured in any given area.
The City of Palm Desert has retained Overland Resources, Inc. to prepare an
appropriate Relocation Plan (the "Plan") and to administer the City's Relocation
Assistance Program. The Plan for this Project provides the results of a needs
assessment survey, a housing resource study and details of the City's proposed
relocation program. The Plan sets forth policies and procedures necessary to conform
with statutes and regulations established by the California Relocation Assistance Law,
California Government Code section 7260 et seq. (the "CRAL") and the California
Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Guidelines, Title 25, California
Code of Regulations, chapter 6, section 6000 et seq. (the "Guidelines").
No displacement activities will take place prior to the required reviews and approval of
this Plan.

ASSESSMENT OF NEEDS
Information for the preparation of the Plan was obtained through personal interviews with
37 of the proposed project area residents. Two households did not respond to request
letters and the information for these households was received over the telephone. The
potential displacees include 21 owner/occupant households and 16 tenant households.
There is a non-profit organization operating a group home for minor children that
customarily houses between 2 and 6 residents. There are an estimated 140 persons
who will be displaced as a result of the proposed project. The household characteristics
and needs are described below.

MINOR AGED CHILDREN & STUDENTS
45.9 % percent of the population are between 0-20 years of age. The majority of these
children attend local schools and/or childcare centers. The majority of the households
with school aged children prefer to stay within the current school boundaries so that the
children's school schedule will not be disrupted at the time of displacement. The
children's enrollment characteristics are noted below:

Relocation regulations require that all households be relocated into dwelling dwellings of
sufficient size to assure decent, safe and sanitary living conditions. The State Building
Code establishes the maximum occupancy requirements. Some of the families that
were interviewed currently reside in overcrowded conditions. For this reason, they will
receive assistance to obtain replacement dwellings with more bedrooms than they
currently occupy. It is estimated that 4 households will require replacement dwellings
larger than they currently occupy. One three bedroom single family residence is
available for rent and counted in the above table for the purpose of this study.

SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES
One of the four bedroom homes is occupied by a nonprofit organization, C.H.A.R.L.E.E.
Family Care, Inc. It is a group home staffed with trained Family Care Parents who
provide a safe, structured environment to children between the ages of 6 and 18 years of
age with a history of abuse and neglect. These children need to be a permanent part of
a stable family structure as well as an integral part of the community in which they live.
The CHARLEE environment restores and, in some cases provides for the first time,
patterns of everyday interaction that a normal, healthy family enjoys. Consideration and
attggtign to the special needs of this household will Pe given.
PROPOSED PROJECT SITE PHOTOGRAPHS
See Appendix A
REPLACEMENT HOUSING RESOURCES
A resource survey was undertaken shortly after interviewing the occupants of the
proposed Project area to identify comparable, decent, safe and sanitary dwellings
available in close proximity to the proposed Project site. Three (1) bedroom apartments,
nine (2) bedroom apartments, One (2) bedroom single family dwelling, nineteen (3)
three bedroom single family dwellings and five (4) bedroom single family dwellings will
be required to adequately relocate the Project site households. Therefore, the survey
focused on confirming the availability of the number of comparable, decent, safe, and
sanitary dwellings that contain the required minimum number of bedrooms, are of
adequate size for each household, and are comparable with respect to the number of
rooms and habitable living space.

CONCURRENT RESIDENTIAL DISPLACEMENT
The City of Palm Desert is engaged in no current or proposed displacing activities that
may impact the ability to relocate the displaced households. For this reason, as well as
the fact that an ample number of replacement housing dwellings were identified in the
housing resource survey, no problems are anticipated in relocating these families and
individuals.
TEMPORARY HOUSING
There is no anticipated need for temporary housing. Should such a need arise, the City
will respond appropriately and in conformance with Guideline requirements.
PROGRAM ASSURANCES AND STANDARDS
There are adequate funds to relocate all of the households. Services will be provided to
ensure that displacement does not result in different or separate treatment of
households based on race, nationality, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status,
familial status, disability or any other basis protected by the Federal Fair housing
Amendments Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, the California Fair Employment & Housing
Act, and the Unruh Act, as well as any other arbitrary or unlawful discrimination.
No one will be displaced without 90 days notice and unless "comparable" replacement
housing can be located and is available. "Comparable" housing includes standards such
as: decent, safe, and sanitary (as defined in § 6008(d) of the Guidelines); comparable as
to the number of bedrooms, living space, and type and quality of construction of the
acquired dwelling but not lesser in rooms or living space than necessary to
accommodate the displaced household; in an area that does not have unreasonable
environmental conditions; not generally less desirable than the acquired dwelling with
respect to location to schools, employment, health and medical facilities, and other
public and commercial facilities and services; and within the financial means of the
displaced household (as defined in § 6008, subdivision (c)(5) of the Guidelines). The
relocation program to be implemented by the displacing entity conforms with the
standards and provisions set forth in Government Code section 7260 et seq., the
Guidelines, California Health and Safety Code section 33410 et seq., if applicable, and
all other applicable regulations and requirements.
RELOCATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
Staff is available to assist any displaced household with questions about relocation
and/or assistance in relocating. Relocation staff can be contacted at (760) 772-4255
from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The Relocation Office is located at 77-564 Country Club
Drive, Suite 150-140, Palm Desert, California 92211. A comprehensive relocation
assistance program, with technical and advisory assistance, will be provided to the
households being displaced. Close contact will be maintained with each household.
Specific activities will include:

City of Palm Desert
Fred Waring Drive
San Pascual Avenue to Deep Canyon Road
Page 14
A. A General Information notice to be sent to all tenants & owner/occupants
who will be displaced (See attachments 2 and 3).
B. Distribution of informational handbooks in English and Spanish (See
Attachments 2 and 3).
C. Timely referrals to at least three comparable replacement dwellings as
defined above and, if necessary, transportation will be provided to inspect
potential replacement dwellings.
D. Assistance with completion and filing of relocation claims, rental
applications, and appeals forms, if necessary.
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION/PLAN REVIEW
This Plan will be provided to each household and will be made available to the public for
the mandatory thirty (30) day review period. Comments to this Plan will be included as a
Plan addendum prior to submission for approval before the City Council. A copy of the
approved Plan will be forwarded to the California Department of Housing and
Community Development (HCD).
RELOCATION BENEFIT CATEGORIES
Relocation benefits will be provided in accordance with the CRAL, the Guidelines, and
all other applicable regulations and requirements. Benefits will be paid upon submission
of required claim forms and documentation in accordance with approved procedures.
The displacing entity will provide appropriate benefits for each displaced household as
required by the above laws and requirements.
A. Residential Moving Expense Payments
The subject households will be eligible to receive a payment for moving
expenses. Payments will be made based upon either a fixed room count
schedule or an invoice for actual reasonable moving expenses from a
licensed professional mover.
1. Fixed Payment—A fixed payment for moving expenses based on
the number of rooms containing furniture or other personal
property to be moved. The fixed moving payment will be based
upon the most recent Federal Highway Administration schedules
maintained by the California Department of Transportation.
2. Actual Reasonable Moving Expense Payments — The displaced
households may elect to have a licensed, professional mover
perform the move; if so, the displacing entity will pay for the actual
cost of the move up to 50 miles and all reasonable charges for
Relocation Plan
City of Palm Desert
Fred Waring Drive
San Pascual Avenue to Deep Canyon Road
Page 15
packing, unpacking, insurance, and utility connection charges.
The payment will be made directly to the mover or as
reimbursement to the displaced household.
B. Rental Assistance/Down Payment Assistance for Tenants
It is estimated that 16 tenant households will be displaced by this project.
Displaced households who are residential tenants and who have
established residency within the Project site for a minimum of 90 days
prior to the "initiation of negotiations" will be eligible for both Rental
Assistance and Moving Expense Payments. The "initiation of
negotiations" is defined as the first written offer to buy the property from
which the households will be displaced. Except in the case of Last
Resort situations, Rental Assistance Payments will be limited to a
maximum of $5,250 based upon the monthly housing need over a forty-
two (42) month period. In addition, the households may opt to apply the
amount to which they are entitled toward the purchase of a replacement
dwelling. Tenants must occupy a replacement dwelling within one year of
the date that the household vacates the acquired dwelling.
C. Last Resort Housing Payments for Tenants
According to the Housing Survey, there is an adequate supply of
replacement housing available but at an increased monthly rental cost.
Therefore, there is a need to provide Last Resort Housing Payments to
tenants. "Last Resort Housing" payments are authorized by statute if
affordable "comparable replacement housing" cannot be found for the
displaced tenant household (i.e., housing not more than 30% of the
household's average monthly income). In this case, payments may be
made beyond the $5,250 statutory cap up to 42 months worth of rental
assistance. The supplemental increment beyond $5,250 may be paid in
installments or in a lump sum at the discretion of the displacing entity. It
will be the City's policy for this project, to pay the entitlement amount in 2
installments. 1. An advance payment in an amount necessary to secure
the replacement dwelling (i.e. 1st month's rent and security deposit). 2.
The balance payment when the move has been completed, the
replacement dwelling is occupied, and the displacement dwelling has
been vacated and left in satisfactory condition. If a household chooses to
purchase a replacement home rather than rent, the household will have
the right to request a lump sum payment of the entire balance to which be
deposited into an escrow account.
D. Assistance to Owner/Occupants
It is anticipated that 21 owner/occupant households will be displaced for
this Project. Owner/occupants displaced by this Project will be eligible for
Relocation Plan
City of Palm Desert
Fred Waring Drive
San Pascual Avenue to Deep Canyon Road
Page 16
both relocation replacement housing payments, and moving expense
payments if the following conditions are met:
1. The household has owned and occupied their dwelling for
not less than 180 days prior to the "Initiation of
Negotiations"; and
2. The household purchases and occupies a replacement
dwelling within one year from: (i) the date that the
household receives the final payment from the displacing
entity for all the costs of the acquired dwelling — or — the
date that the household vacates the acquired dwelling,
whichever is later.
Displaced owner/occupant households will receive assistance in locating a "comparable
replacement" dwelling and will be eligible for the following benefits:
(1) Purchase Price Differential
The displaced households will be entitled to receive an amount equal to the
difference between the price paid for the acquired dwelling and the amount
required to purchase a "comparable replacement" dwelling. The City is allowed
the following options in paying any price differential as explained in section 6102
of the Guidelines:
(a) Comparative Method: On a case-by-case basis, the City will
determine the price of a "comparable replacement" dwelling,
which is most representative of the acquired dwelling, by selecting
and considering the listing price of at least three (whenever
possible) "comparable replacement" dwellings. 6102(c)(1)(A)(1)
(b) Schedule Method: If the Comparative Method is not feasible, the
City may establish a schedule of reasonable acquisition costs of
"comparable replacement" dwellings based on a current analysis
of the housing market. 6102(c)(A)(2)
(b) Alternative Method: When neither the Comparative nor Schedule
Methods are feasible, the City may use another reasonable
method.
The Schedule Method has been chosen as a means of determining the replacement
housing costs because approximately 21 households of similar housing type will be
required to relocate. This method allows for a more equitable determination of
entitlement on a project wide basis.
(2) Other Payments:
Moreover, displaced owner/occupants will receive the following assistance:
Relocation Plan
City of Palm Desert
Fred Waring Drive
San Pascual Avenue to Deep Canyon Road
Page 17
(a) Payments to cover the cost between the difference of the
household's current debt or mortgage service and any increase in
debt or mortgage costs necessary to acquire a "comparable
replacement" housing dwelling; and
(b) Incidental and reasonable one-time costs for acquiring a
replacement unit, such as escrow costs and recording and credit
reporting fees.
(3) Rental Assistance Option:
If a displaced owner/occupied household, who has purchased and occupied its
current unit at least 180 days prior to the "initiation of negotiations", desires to
rent instead of purchase a replacement unit, the household is eligible for all the
benefits and assistance that is available to tenant households. However, such
replacement housing payments may not exceed the payments the household
would have been entitled to if it had elected to purchase a replacement
(4) Rental Assistance Option:
If a displaced owner/occupied household, which has purchased and occupied its
current dwelling at least 180 days prior to the "initiation of negotiations", desires
to rent instead of purchase a replacement dwelling, the household is eligible for
all the benefits and assistance that is available to tenant households. However,
such replacement housing payments may not exceed the payments the
household would have been entitled to if it had elected to purchase a
replacement dwelling.
(5) Last Resort Housing Payments:
There is a lack of "comparable replacement housing" for owner/occupant
households within the financial means and the statutory cap. According to the
housing survey. Therefore, there is a need to provide Last Resort Housing
Payments to tenants. "Last Resort housing" payments are authorized by statute
if there is not enough "comparable replacement housing" available within the
statutory cap of $22,500. Whenever the housing supply is not sufficient to
provide "comparable replacement housing" within the statutory cap of $22,500,
the displacing entity shall pay whatever costs are necessary beyond the statutory
cap of $22,500 to acquire a "comparable replacement" dwelling, including
reasonable incidental expenses.
A displaced owner/occupant who has purchased and occupied its current dwelling for
less than 180 days, but at least 90 days prior to the "initiation of negotiations" is eligible
for all the assistance and benefits that are available to a tenant household.

SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES
One of the four bedroom homes is occupied by a nonprofit organization, C.H.A.R.L.E.E.
Family Care, Inc. It is a group home staffed with trained Family Care Parents who
provide a safe, structured environment to children between the ages of 6 and 18 years of
age with a history of abuse and neglect. These children need to be a permanent part of
a stable family structure as well as an integral part of the community in which they live.
The CHARLEE environment restores and, in some cases provides for the first time,
patterns of everyday interaction that a normal, healthy family enjoys. Consideration and
attention to the special needs of this household will be given.
PROPOSED PROJECT SITE PHOTOGRAPHS
See Appendix A
REPLACEMENT HOUSING RESOURCES
A resource survey was undertaken shortly after interviewing the occupants of the
proposed Project area to identify comparable, decent, safe and sanitary dwellings
available in close proximity to the proposed Project site. Three (1) bedroom apartments,
nine (2) bedroom apartments, One (2) bedroom single family dwelling, nineteen (3)
three bedroom single family dwellings and five (4) bedroom single family dwellings will
be required to adequately relocate the Project site households. Therefore, the survey
focused on confirming the availability of the number of comparable, decent, safe, and
sanitary dwellings that contain the required minimum number of bedrooms, are of
adequate size for each household, and are comparable with respect to the number of
rooms and habitable living space.

PAYMENT OF RELOCATION BENEFITS
Relocation benefit payments will be made expeditiously. Claims and supporting
documentation for relocation benefits must be filed with the displacing entity within
eighteen (18) months from: (i) the date the claimant moves from the acquired property; -
or — (ii) the date on which final payment for the acquisition of real property is made,
whichever is later. Procedures for preparing and filing claims and processing and
delivering of payments will be as follows:
1. Claimant to provide all necessary documentation to substantiate eligibility
for assistance.
2. Assistance amounts will be determined and required claim forms
prepared by relocation staff in consultation with claimant.
3. Original signed claims supported by documentation and relocation staff
recommendation will be submitted to the designated City staff member or
his/her designee.
4. Payments will be prepared and delivered to relocation staff for
distribution. Payments will be delivered personally by relocation staff
unless circumstances dictate otherwise. When payments can not be
personally delivered, they will be sent by certified mail.
5. Payment receipts and other signed acknowledgments will be obtained by
relocation staff and kept in the case file.
6. Unless otherwise instructed by the City, relocation staff will not deliver
final payments until the Project site premises of the claimant has been
completely vacated. Before issuance of final payments actual residency
at the replacement site must be verified.
7. The public entity will provide an advance payment, when necessary, in
order to assist with the securing of replacement housing.
No household will be displaced until "comparable" housing is located as defined above
and in section 6008, subdivisions (c) and (d) of the Guidelines. Relocation staff will
inspect any replacement dwellings to which referrals are made to verify that they meet
all the standards of decent, safe and sanitary as defined in section 6008, subdivision (d)
of the Guidelines.

EVICTION POLICY
The City recognizes that eviction is permissible only as a last resort and that relocation
records must be documented to reflect the specific circumstances surrounding any
eviction. Eviction will only take place in cases of nonpayment of rent, serious violation of
the rental agreement, a dangerous or illegal act in the dwelling, or if the household
refuses all reasonable offers to move. Eviction will not affect the eligibility of a person
legally entitled to relocation benefits.
APPEALS POLICY
The appeals policy will follow the standards described in section 6150 et seq. of the
Guidelines. Briefly stated, the displaced household will have the right to ask for review
when there is a complaint regarding any of its rights to relocation and relocation
assistance, such as a determination as to eligibility, the amount of payment, or the
failure to provide a comparable replacement housing referral. A copy of the established
appeals policy and procedures is provided as Attachment 6 to this plan.
PROJECTED DATES OF DISPLACEMENT
Every household will receive a 90-day notice to vacate before they are required to move.
These notices will not be issued before January, 2001.
Relocation is expected to be completed for all households on or before April, 2001.
ESTIMATED RELOCATION COSTS
The displacing entity anticipates using general funds in anticipation of CVAG
reimbursement. Any and all required financial assistance will be provided.
These figures should not be interpreted as firm '`not to exceed" or actual entitlement
costs. These figures are based on the data obtained trough occupant interviews, current
project scope, replacement site availability, estimated moving costs, and the judgment
and experience of the writer. They do not include payments to consultants.
Estimated relocation costs: $2,088,000.

A. IF YOU BUY REPLACEMENT HOUSING:
• A PRICE DIFFERENTIAL. This is to cover the increased cost you may have to

The Relocation Assistance Program
This Relocation Assistance Program handbook (Handbook) summarizes the City's
Relocation Assistance Program as it pertains to the occupants of the Project Area. This
summary of benefits has been provided for general information purposes only and it is
not meant to be interpreted as law. Should any difference or error occur, the law will
take precedence.
The Relocation Assistance Program as set forth in this section has been adopted as the
Policies and Procedures of the City for the implementation of this project. These
Policies and Procedures have been developed in order to 1) meet the particular
relocation needs of the project occupants, and 2) meet the requirements of State and
Federal regulations pertaining to displaced persons.
All project occupants will be contacted and
Project Assurances interviewed by a Relocation Advisor after the City
makes a written offer to acquire the property. The
Relocation Advisor will interview the project occupants to determine individual
relocation needs for a replacement location and for other services. No one who lawfully
occupies the project dwellings will be required to move without at least 90 days written
notice and after detailed information on the relocation program, services and payments
has been given to the occupant. This Handbook is not a notice to move from the
project area. If an occupant of the project area moves out before they receive a Letter
of Entitlement from the City, they may lose their eligibility to receive assistance and
benefits.

Various terms and conditions have been defined in
Definition of Terms this section in order to provide the reader with
greater understanding of the Relocation Assistance
Program available to the project occupants.
Comparable Replacement Dwelling. For the purposes of this project, a general
definition of a comparable replacement dwelling for project occupants is a dwelling that
is:
• Decent, Safe and Sanitary as described below;
• Functionally equivalent to the displacement dwelling. The term "functionally
equivalent" means that it performs the same function, provides the same
utility, and is capable of contributing to a comparable style of living;
• In an area not subject to unreasonable adverse environmental conditions
from either natural or human sources;
• Currently available to the project occupants;
• Within the financial means of the displaced person, either by their own means
or through assistance from the City.
Decent, Safe & Sanitary (DS&S). In order to meet Decent, Safe and Sanitary
requirements, a replacement site must meet the following criteria:
• Be structurally sound, weather-tight and in good repair.
• Contain a safe electrical wiring system adequate for lighting and other
devises.
• Contain a safe heating system capable of sustaining a healthful temperature.
• Be adequate in size with respect to the number of rooms and area of living
space needed to accommodate the displaced person.
• Contain unobstructed egress to safe, open space at ground level. If the
dwelling unit is on the second story or above, with access directly from or
through a common corridor, the common corridor must have at least two
means of egress.
• For a person who is mobility impaired, be free of any barriers that would
preclude reasonable ingress, egress, or use of the dwelling by such person.
4
Eligible Occupant. Relocation Assistance Benefits will be available to all tenants who
legally occupy the dwelling 90 days prior to the City's First Written Offer to purchase the
property from the owner. If the occupant is the homeowner, they must have been in
occupancy for 180 days prior to the City's First Written Offer in order to be eligible to
receive full Relocation Assistance Benefits.
Relocation Assistance shall be provided to all project
Governing Regulations occupants in compliance with California Relocation
Assistance and Real Property Acquisition
Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 25, Chapter 6, the Government Code
of the State of California, Section 7260 et seq. and The Uniform Relocation Assistance
and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended. An explanation and
application of these guidelines follow.
The City has adopted the following Relocation
Summary of Assistance program in order to provide the project
Occupant Benefits occupants with the benefits to which they are entitled
under Federal and State Relocation Guidelines.
A. Relocation Advisory Assistance. Each eligible project occupant will have access
to a Relocation Advisor. The Relocation Advisor shall provide ongoing advisory
assistance to the occupant by assisting the occupant in locating and securing a
replacement dwelling. In addition, the Relocation Advisor shall ensure that each
eligible occupant receives the following:
1. Each eligible occupant will receive Relocation Advisory Assistance and will be
eligible to receive Relocation Benefits as soon as a written offer is made to the
owner of the property. Each eligible occupant will receive written documentation
concerning their rights and Relocation Benefits after a written offer is made to the
owner.
2. Each eligible occupant shall be interviewed by their Relocation Advisor. The
Relocation Advisor shall request documentation concerning length of occupancy
and income.
3. The Relocation Advisor will study the availability of comparable replacement
sites in the area. Consideration will be given to the condition of the dwellings
and whether or not they compare favorably to the acquired site. A determination
will then be made as to the realistic cost for a comparable, decent, safe and
sanitary dwelling in the area. Each eligible occupant will then receive a Letter of
Entitlement that will explain the specific Relocation Benefits to which they are
5
entitled.
4. The development of this project shall be scheduled so that no person lawfully
occupying the acquired site shall be required to move from the dwelling without a
90 days' written notice from the City of the date by which such a move is
required. The 90 Day Notice to Vacate will also include a list of referrals to
available replacement housing in the area.
The Relocation Advisor shall also inform each occupant of the eviction policies
that will be pursued in order to carry out the project.
5. Each eligible occupant shall receive current and continuing information on the
availability of comparable replacement dwelling in the area.
6. Each eligible occupant shall be provided with a Relocation Advisor who shall act
as a liaison to prospective landlords, Realtors and the City. The Relocation
Advisor shall provide documentation to prospective landlords, lenders and
Realtors concerning Relocation Benefits. In addition, the Relocation Advisor
shall help each occupant complete Relocation Claims that will be submitted to
the City. Should an occupant have a grievance against the City in regards to
Relocation Policies and Procedures, the Relocation Advisor will provide the
occupant with information concerning the City's Grievance Procedures.
7. The Relocation Advisor shall inspect each replacement dwelling to ensure that
the unit meets Decent, Safe and Sanitary standards.
8. The Relocation Advisor shall provide any services required to insure that the
relocation process does not result in different or separate treatment of occupants
on account of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status or other
arbitrary circumstances.
9. The Relocation Advisor shall provide other advisory assistance to eligible
persons in order to minimize their hardships. When needed, such assistance
shall include counseling and referrals with regard to housing, financing,
employment, training, health and welfare, as well as other assistance.
6
B. Moving Cost Assistance. Each project household will be assisted with the cost to
move their personal property from their current home to their replacement site.
Occupants have two options to receive payment.
1. Moving Cost Allowance. A household may choose to move their own property to
the replacement site. A claim will be submitted by the household and payment
will be made to the household based on the following Moving Cost Allowance
Schedule. This allowance is in accordance with the schedule maintained by the
California Department of Transportation.
Moving Cost Allowance Schedule
Occupant Owns Furniture
Number of Rooms 1 2 3 4 5 6
Payment $500 $650 $800 $950 $1,150 $1,350
Moving costs for families moving from furnished units are based on a different schedule
OR
2. Professional Moving Assistance. The household may choose to have a
professional moving company move their personal property from their current
dwelling to their replacement site. The City will pay actual moving expenses
based on the lower of at least two acceptable moving bids from qualified
professional moving carriers to pack, move and unpack all personal property
from their home to the replacement site. The City will cover all reasonable costs
associated with moving and insuring the occupant's personal property up to 50
miles from their current dwelling. If an occupant chooses this option, a
professional moving company may be paid directly by the City to perform the
move. Under this option, the City will also pay for the reconnecting of utilities at
the replacement site and for the cost to store personal property moved from the
site for up to 12 months, if determined to be necessary by the City.
C. Rent Differential Payments. A Rent Differential Payment will be available to all
eligible tenant occupants. The purpose of a Rent Differential Payment is to allow an
occupant to relocate to a comparable replacement dwelling without having to pay an
increase in rent and to make the unit affordable to the tenant. The City will make all
Rent Differential Payments either directly to the tenant or to the tenant's new landlord.
7
There are two ways to calculate tenant Rent Differential Payments under the City's
Relocation Assistance Program. If the occupant provides adequate documentation,
then the City will calculate the Rent Differential Payment using each method. The
occupant will be eligible to receive a payment based on whichever method provides the
greatest assistance. The maximum Rent Differential Payment is $5,250.00
1) Based on the Difference Between Most Comparable Rent and Current Rent:
The City will perform a Study to determine the cost to rent a comparable, decent,
safe and sanitary replacement dwelling in the area. The City will then subtract
the amount of the household's current rent and utilities from the most
comparable rent and estimated utilities. This will equal the amount of the
maximum Rent Differential Payment to which the household is entitled each
month. This assistance is provided for 42 months.
Comparable Rent Plus Estimated Utilities
minus:Current Rent and Actual, Average Utility Costs
equa/s:Maximum Monthly Rent Differential Payment
OR
2) Based on the Difference Between Most Comparable Rent and 30% of Gross
Monthly income. The City will perform a Study to determine the cost to rent a
comparable, decent, safe and sanitary replacement dwelling in the area. The
City will require the household to provide documentation of all household
income. The City will then subtract 30% of the household's Gross Monthly
Income from the most comparable rent and estimated utilities. This equals the
amount of the maximum Rent Differential Payment to which the household is
entitled each month. This assistance is provided for 42 months.
Comparable Rent Plus Estimated Utilities
minus:30% of the Household's Gross Monthly Income
equa/s:Maximum Monthly Rent Differential Payment
Each eligible tenant household will receive a Letter of Entitlement that describes all
Relocation Benefits and the maximum Rent Differential Payment to which the
household is entitled. The Letter will also explain the "Spend to Get" requirement.
The Spend to Get requirement means that the occupant must use the funds to rent a
comparable replacement dwelling in order to receive a Rent Differential Payment each
month.
If an occupant so chooses, they may use their Rent Differential Payment to purchase a
replacement dwelling. If the occupant chooses this option, they must use the funds as
a down payment and towards non-recurring closing costs.
8
D. Purchase Differential Payment. The owner occupant of a dwelling to be acquired
may be entitled to receive a Purchase Differential Payment if they have owned and
occupied the dwelling for not less than 180 days prior to the first written offer from the
City. The Purchase Differential Payment is the difference between the cost of a
comparable replacement dwelling and the acquisition price paid by the City. The
maximum Purchase Differential Payment is $22,500.00
The City will perform a housing Study to determine the cost to purchase a comparable
replacement home in the area. The City will then calculate the difference between the
cost to purchase a replacement home and the price paid by the City for the current
dwelling.
E. Incidental Expenses Payment. The owner occupant of a dwelling may also be
entitled to receive an Incidental Expenses Payment based on the Closing Costs to
purchase a comparable replacement dwelling. The incidental expenses to be paid are
those necessary and reasonable costs actually incurred by the owner as a result of the
purchase of a replacement dwelling, and customarily paid by the buyer. If necessary,
the Incidental Expenses Payment will be prorated to reflect the purchase of a
comparable replacement dwelling as determined by the City.
F. Interest Differential Payment. The owner occupant of a dwelling may also be
entitled to receive an Interest Differential Payment based on the cost to secure a loan to
purchase a comparable replacement dwelling. This payment is provided to ensure that
the displacee is able to secure a comparable replacement property without incurring
additional loan costs.
Housing of Last Resort is a program which allows for
Last Resort the implementation of certain regulations if the
Housing Program Purchase Differential Payment or the Rent
Differential Payment exceeds the standard limits as
set by State and Federal Regulations. These regulations stipulate that any tenant
occupant who is eligible to receive a Rent Differential Payment in excess of $5,250 and
any owner occupant who receives a purchase Differential payment in excess of
$22,500 is to be considered for housing of Last Resort. If project occupants fall into this
category, it will be necessary for the City to provide Last Resort housing for the
occupants. All payments are based on the most comparable replacement property as
approved in the City's Comparable housing Study. As with all other Replacement
Housing Payments, occupants must meet Spend to Get requirements in order to claim
Last Resort Housing Payments.
9
All claims are to be filed through the household's
Claim Processing and Relocation Advisor. The Advisor will assist the
Distribution of Payments occupants in completing their claim forms, will notify
each household of the documentation needed in
order to file the claim and will inspect all replacement properties as needed. Each claim
will be submitted along with documentation to the City for review and processing.
Checks will be available for approved claims within 30 days of the date all
documentation is submitted to the Relocation Advisor.
The Relocation Advisor will personally notify each
Occupant household in writing of their eligibility to receive
Notification Relocation Assistance and will schedule an
appointment for an interview once an offer has been
made to purchase the property. The Advisor will also deliver the household's Letter of
Entitlement and all subsequent notices to vacate as necessary.
All projects shall be scheduled so that no person
Project Scheduling lawfully occupying the project site will be required to
move from their home without first receiving a Letter
of Entitlement and 90 days written notice from the City of the date by which such a
move is required. The City will deliver a Letter of Entitlement to each occupant so that
the occupant will be fully informed of available assistance.
In the event an occupant believes they have been
The Appeals and denied an eligible benefit, or dispute the amount of
Grievance Process any payment, or have been discriminated against in
any manner, the occupant will be afforded an
opportunity to file an appeal or grievance with the City's Relocation Appeals Board, or
its designee, who will consider the claim and documentation and will prepare a written
response of approval or denial of the claim. The Relocation Advisor will explain the
City's grievance procedure in greater detail as necessary.
The replacement dwelling must be occupied within
Time for Occupying 12 months after the date of displacement.
Replacement Dwelling and
Filing Claims All claims must be filed within 18 months after the
date of displacement

vivienda de reemplazo Decente, Segura, e Sanitaria que es funcionalmente equivalente
a la vivienda que esta siendo comprada por La Campania. Si el precio que la Ciudad le
