TITLE
Recommendation to approve the Relocation Plan for 6841-6845 Atlantic Avenue (Assessor Parcel Numbers 7116-019-029 and -036).
(District 9)
DISCUSSION
At its meeting on February 5, 2019, the City Council authorized the acquisition of 6841-6845 Atlantic Avenue, Assessor Parcel Numbers 7116-019-029 and -036 (Subject Property) as the potential site for the development of a state-of-the-art, village-style campus (Bridge Housing) for homeless services, beginning with the establishment of a year-round shelter (Attachment A). The Subject Property measures approximately 99,534 square feet and is improved with three commercial/industrial buildings totaling 28,084 square feet.
Under California Law, a Relocation Plan must be prepared and approved, demonstrating the needs and characteristics of the displaced population, the available relocation resources and the City’s program to provide assistance to each affected displaced party, including monetary compensation for moving and related expenses and for replacement housing (Attachment B). The establishment of Bridge Housing at the Subject Property requires the relocation of one residential household, one business, and personal property moves for up to nine individuals who pay to park their semi-trailers.
In accordance with Title 25 of the California Code of Regulations, the Relocation Plan must be available for public review and comment for at least 30 days prior to consideration by the City Council for approval. On October 3, 2019, a notification letter was sent to all on-site occupants indicating the Relocation Plan was available for public review. Comments were received during the 30-day review period, which ended November 3, 2019, and are included within the Relocation Plan for consideration and adoption.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Richard F. Anthony on October 30, 2019 and by Budget Management Officer Rhutu Amin Gharib on November 4, 2019.
