TITLE: Relocation Plan for Tenants at 301 East Balboa Boulevard
ABSTRACT:
In December 2024, the City of Newport Beach (City) acquired the property at 301
East Balboa Boulevard for potential future use as a public parking facility. The site is
currently developed as a legal nonconforming residential triplex and is occupied by two
tenants. Pursuant to California Relocation Assistance Law, the City must provide
relocation assistance when a public project results in the displacement of residential
occupants. A consultant has prepared a Relocation Plan assessing the tenants' needs
and outlining the City's responsibilities. For the City Council's consideration is the
Relocation Plan for 301 East Balboa Boulevard (Attachment A), which identifies an
estimated total cost of $88,000 in relocation payments.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
a) Hold a public hearing;
b) Determine this action exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably
foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and Section 15060(c)(3) (the
activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines,
California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because this action will not result
in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly; and
c) Approve the Relocation Plan for the property at 301 East Balboa Boulevard,
Newport Beach, California, 92661, dated June 20, 2025, prepared by Overland,
Pacific and Cutler, LLC, a TranSystems company, conforming to the requirements of
California Relocation Assistance Law, Government Code Section 7260, et seq. (Law),
the Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Guidelines adopted by the
Department of Housing and Community Development as in Title 25, California Code
of Regulations Section 6000, et seq., and AB 1482.
DISCUSSION:
301 East Balboa Boulevard (Property), located at the entrance to Balboa Village at the
east end of the Balboa Peninsula (Attachment B), is a 2,399-square-foot (0.06-acre) site
currently developed with an original 1,638-square-foot legal nonconforming residential
22-1

triplex, zoned Two -Unit Residential (R2). The triplex consists of one studio unit and two,
one -bedroom units.
The triplex was constructed in 1921 and has been maintained in its original condition with
minor system upgrades and tenant improvements completed since then. Two tenants
currently occupy units at the site, including the studio unit and one of the one-
bedroom/one-bathroom units. The City acquired the Property in December 2024 for future
redevelopment as public parking (Project), with the goal of acquiring the adjacent property
at 311 Balboa Boulevard East, which is owned by AT&T and is one of the largest
properties in the area. The two parcels are ideally located to expand public parking along
Balboa Boulevard near Balboa Village at the eastern end of the Peninsula. AT&T has
been open to discussions, however, the timeline for the company to downsize or relocate
its operations from its property are unknown at this time.
California Housing Crisis Act
Senate Bill 330 (Chapter 654, Statues of 2019), the Housing Crisis Act (HCA) of 2019,
was signed into law in 2019, updated in 2021 with Senate Bill 8 (Chapter 161, Statutes of
2021), and updated again in 2023, with Assembly Bill 1218 (Chapter 754, Statutes of
2023). The HCA includes provisions to protect existing housing inventory by prohibiting
cities from approving a housing development project that results in a reduction of housing
units on a site.
Before the structure can be demolished, three new residential units must be constructed
in the City, to ensure no net loss of housing. Replacement units can be in the form of
either accessory dwelling units or affordable housing units as part of a larger multifamily
project.
Included with the recent changes to the HCA is a new provision applicable to
nonresidential projects that states any existing units proposed for demolition that meet
the definition of "protected" must be replaced, and displaced tenants must be provided
relocation benefits. Protected units are units that are- or were- (within the past 5 years)
either subject to an affordable housing covenant or occupied by low- or very low-income
households.
Prior to acquisition, it was determined that the two tenant households residing at the
property qualified as low-income, thereby classifying their units as "protected." Under the
Act, these units must be replaced with housing subject to a minimum 55-year affordable
housing covenant. However, if the units remain vacant for five years, or are occupied by
households with incomes above the area median, the replacement units would not be
subject to affordable covenants.
Following the five-year period, and upon identification of three replacement housing units,
the City may proceed with demolition of the existing structure and advancement of the
project.

Relocation Plan
The City retained Overland, Pacific & Cutler, LLC, a TranSystems company, (Consultant)
to prepare a relocation plan to address existing tenant displacements. When the proposed
Project moves forward, it would cause the permanent displacement of the two tenant
households who would be eligible for relocation benefits and assistance. The needs and
characteristics of the tenants and the City's program to provide assistance to each
affected person are general subjects of the attached Relocation Plan (Plan). This Plan
conforms to the requirements of California Relocation Assistance Law, Government Code
Section 7260, et seq. (Law), the Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition
Guidelines adopted by the Department of Housing and Community Development in
Title 25, California Code of Regulations Section 6000, et seq., and AB 1482.
The Plan includes the following details:
• Project description
• Assessment of the relocation needs of persons subject to displacement
• Assessment of available comparable replacement housing units within proximity
to the Project site
• Description of the City's relocation program
• Description of the City outreach efforts, Project timeline and budget
Calculation of Benefit
The total estimated budget for relocation assistance at 301 East Balboa Boulevard is
approximately $88,000, which includes a 15 percent contingency. This estimate covers
tenant moving expenses, rental assistance over a 42-month period, and potential Last
Resort Housing benefits if required. The budget also provides advisory and administrative
support to ensure compliance with relocation law. Actual costs will depend on income
verification, comparable rent at the time of displacement, and whether supplemental Last
Resort Housing payments are necessary. The estimate does not include property
acquisition costs or consultant service contracts. An example calculation of relocation
benefit is shown in the table below.

Next Steps
Upon City Council's approval of the Plan, the Consultant will issue 90-day notices to each
tenant to vacate the Property, with an expected move -out date in mid -January 2026 to
avoid displacing the tenants during the holiday season. The Consultant will work with
each tenant to verify their household income and determine the exact amount of
relocation assistance they are eligible to receive.
Based on the Consultant's preliminary review of the tenants' household income,
relocation benefits to be paid is estimated to be a total of approximately $88,000 and was
included in the budget amendment approved by City Council in August 2024, when the
Property acquisition was authorized.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Budget Amendment No. 25-013 was already approved by the City Council on
August 27, 2024, to provide funding for the acquisition of the Property. Additionally, the
Budget Amendment included funding in the estimated amount of $180,000 for relocation
payments to the existing tenants at the Property. It will be expensed to the General Fund
CIP Fund, from account 01201925-911047-25F11.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not
result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment)
and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA
Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no
potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.

INTRODUCTION
The City of Newport Beach (City) acquired a property located at 301 E. Balboa Boulevard,
Newport Beach, CA 92661 (Project site or Property). The Property is currently improved with a
four-plex comprised of four residential rental units, two of which are tenant occupied.
The 301 E. Balboa Boulevard Project (Project) will require the demolition of the existing
structure/units for potential temporary use by the fire department, and future development use. The
acquisition and proposed Project is anticipated to be financed through the City's general funds.
The City retained Overland, Pacific & Cutler, LLC (OPC), a TranSystems company, to prepare a
Relocation Plan (Plan) to address existing tenant future displacements. This Plan conforms to the
requirements of California Relocation Assistance Law, Government Code Section 7260, et seq.
(Law), the Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Guidelines adopted by the
Department of Housing and Community Development as in Title 25, California Code of
Regulations Section 6000, et seq. (Guidelines), and AB 1482.
When the proposed Project moves forward, it would cause the permanent displacement of two
tenant households who would be eligible for relocation benefits and assistance. The needs and
characteristics of the tenants and the City's program to provide assistance to each affected person
are general subjects of this Relocation Plan (Plan).
This Plan is organized in five sections:
1. Project description (SECTION I);
2. Assessment of the relocation needs of persons subject to displacement (SECTION II);
3. Assessment of available comparable replacement housing units within proximity to the
Project site (SECTION III);
4. Description of the City's relocation program (SECTION IV);
5. Description of the City outreach efforts, Project timeline and budget (SECTION V).

II. ASSESSMENT OF RELOCATION NEEDS
A. SURVEY METHOD
To obtain information necessary for the preparation of this Plan, personal interviews with both
existing households were initially conducted by OPC staff in September 2024 and subsequently
updated in June 2025.OPC was successful in conducting a follow-up interview with one of the two
households. The data in this section of the Plan is based on the responses of interviewed individuals
who provided verbal information about the households. At this time, the information is
unconfirmed.
Inquiries made of the residential occupants concerned household size and composition, income,
monthly rent and estimated utility costs, length of occupancy, ethnicity, home language, physical
disabilities, relocation needs, and replacement housing preferences.
B. TENANT DATA
1. Current Occupants
There are currently two households living on the Project site who would be eligible for relocation
assistance. The households are comprised of two adults and no children (17 years or younger) for
a total of two site occupants.
The households occupy a studio and a one -bedroom unit and pay $1,289 - $1,546 per month with
all utilities included in the rent.
2. Replacement Housing Needs
Replacement housing needs, as expressed in this plan, are defined by the total number of required
replacement units and distribution of those units by bedroom size. The projected number of
required units by bedroom size is calculated by comparing current data for household size with the
City's replacement housing occupancy standards. These standards, generally, allow for up to two
persons in a studio unit, three persons in a one -bedroom unit, five persons in a two -bedroom unit,
seven persons in a three -bedroom unit and nine or more persons in a four -bedroom unit.
Based on available tenant data, there are no overcrowded units. The replacement units required for
the two impacted households include a studio unit and a one -bedroom unit.
The Project site is within a densely populated mixed -use area with retail shopping, personal
services, restaurants, medical facilities, parks, schools, public facilities, social services, and public
transportation.
3. Income
Verbal information regarding gross household income for both households was provided by the
Project households. According to income standards for Orange County (Exhibit A) adjusted for
family size as published by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD), the households may qualify as Low Income (51 % - 80% AMI).
22-13
4. Ethnicity/Language
The interviewed households stated their ethnicity as White. Both households speak, read and
understand English.
5. Senior/Handicapped Households
Neither of the tenants reported being seniors over the age of 62 or having any disabilities.
If specific special needs are identified when the project occupants are ultimately displaced,
appropriate steps will be taken to accommodate those needs and to locate or modify suitable
replacement housing. Mobility challenges will be addressed as it relates to replacement housing,
including the need for a first -floor unit or unit in a building with an elevator, as well as potentially
identifying an ADA compliant unit ADA, if applicable.
6. Preferred Area to Relocate
The interviewed households expressed interest in staying in the immediate area and within
Newport Beach to remain close to a gym and preferred shopping areas.

22-14
III. RELOCATION RESOURCES
A. METHODOLOGY
For residential housing, a resource survey was conducted to identify available comparable rental
units within proximity to the Project site. The following sources were utilized:
-- Classified rental listings from local newspapers and For Rent publications
-- Internet sources of rental opportunities
B. REPLACEMENT HOUSING AVAILABILITY
1. Residential Rental Housing
An updated replacement housing survey was conducted in June 2025 that considered available
studio and one- bedroom apartments for rent in Newport Beach and within proximity to the
Project site. This data as of the date of this Plan ultimately located within five miles of the Project
site is summarized in Table 1 below and in Exhibit B.
Table 1: Availability and Cost of Replacement Rental Housing
# of Bedrooms
Studio
One
# Found # Needed
5 1
6 1
Rent Range
$1,791 - $2,195
$2,051 - $2,800
Median Rent
$2,000
$2,400
The available units identified were in residential and mixed -use neighborhoods with access to
restaurants, retail stores, medical facilities, social services, public transportation, parks, schools
and opportunities for employment.
The median rent amount shown in the table is among the figures used to make benefit and budget
projections for the Plan. This amount is, naturally, subject to change according to the market
rates prevailing at the time of displacement.
2. Summary
Considering the above -described availability of replacement housing resources gathered, it
appears there are an adequate number of replacement units for the residential occupants.
While adequate replacement resources exist for the tenants, based on survey results of rental
opportunities and the tenants' current rent, some tenants may have an increase in monthly rent.
Possible increases, if any, will be met through the City's obligation under the relocation
regulations, including Last Resort Housing (LHR) requirements. (See Section IV, E).

22-15
C. RELATED ISSUES
1. Concurrent Residential Displacement
There are no known public projects anticipated in the Project area that will cause significant
displacements during the timeframe of anticipated initiation of Project displacements. No
residential displacee will be required to move without both adequate notice and access to
available, comparable, affordable, decent, safe and sanitary housing
7
22-16
IV. THE RELOCATION PROGRAM
The City's Relocation Program is designed to minimize hardship, be responsive to unique Project
circumstances, emphasize maintaining personal contact with all affected individuals, consistently
apply all regulatory criteria to formulate eligibility and benefit determinations and conform to all
applicable requirements. The relocation program to be implemented by the City will conform with
the standards and provisions of California Relocation Assistance Law, Government Code Section
7260, et seq. (Law), the Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Guidelines adopted
by the Department of Housing and Community Development and Title 25, California Code of
Regulations Section 6000, et seq. (Guidelines), and AB 1482.
The City has retained OPC, a multi-lingual consulting firm, to administer the Relocation Program
for the tenants. OPC has worked on more than 5,000 public acquisition and relocation projects for
more than 46 years. Experienced City staff will monitor the performance of OPC and be
responsible to approve or disapprove OPC recommendations concerning eligibility and benefit
determinations per applicable program requirements.
OPC staff will be available to assist any relocated person and/or household with questions about
the relocation process, relocation counseling and/or assistance in relocating. Relocation staff can
be contacted at (800) 400-7356 from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Friday and are available
via voicemail and/or cellular phones after hours. Relocation staff will assist tenants at hours
convenient for the residents. The Relocation Office is located at 5000 Airport Plaza Drive, Suite
250, Long Beach, CA 90815.
Eligible individuals, who need to permanently move from their existing home, will receive
relocation assistance. All households will be eligible for relocation assistance under the
CRAL/State Guidelines.
The relocation program under the CRAL/Guidelines consists of two principal constituents:
advisory assistance and financial assistance (Relocation Benefits).
A. ADVISORY ASSISTANCE
Advisory assistance services are intended to:
• inform tenants about the relocation program
• help in the process of finding appropriate replacement accommodations
• facilitate claims processing
• maintain a communication link with the City
• coordinate the involvement of outside service providers
To follow through on the advisory assistance component of the relocation program and assure that
the City meets its obligations under the law, relocation staff will perform the following functions:
22-17
1. Distribute appropriate written information concerning the City's relocation
program;
2. Inform eligible project occupants of the nature of, and procedures for, obtaining
available relocation assistance and benefits (Exhibit Q;
3. Determine the needs of each displacee eligible for assistance;
4. Provide the tenants with at least three referrals to comparable replacement housing
within a reasonable time prior to displacement;
5. Maintain an updated database of available housing resources, and distribute referral
information to displacees for the duration of the Project;
6. Provide transportation to the displacees, if necessary, to inspect replacement sites
within the local area;
7. Inspect replacement housing to assure it meets decent, safe and sanitary standards
as described in the Guidelines and per City standards and requirements;
8. Supply information concerning federal and state programs and other governmental
programs providing assistance to displaced persons;
9. Assist eligible occupants in the preparation, and submission, of relocation
assistance claims;
10. Provide additional reasonable services necessary to successfully relocate
occupants;
11. Make benefit determinations and payments in accordance with applicable relocation
law and the City's adopted relocation guidelines;
12. Assure that no occupant is required to move without a minimum of 90 days written
notice to vacate;
13. Inform all persons subject to displacement of the City's policies with regard to
eviction and property management;
14. Establish and maintain a formal grievance procedure for use by displaced persons
seeking administrative review of the City's decisions with respect to relocation
assistance; and
15. Provide assistance that does not result in different or separate treatment based on
or due to an individual's sex, marital status, race, color, religion, ancestry, national
origin, physical handicap, sexual orientation, and domestic partnership status.

22-18
B. RELOCATION BENEFITS
Specific eligibility requirements and benefit plans will be detailed on an individual basis with the
impacted households. In the course of a personal interview and follow-up visits, each household
will be counseled as to available options and the consequences of any choice with respect to
financial assistance.
Relocation benefits will be provided in accordance with the provisions of California State
Relocation Law and Guidelines, and the City's rules and procedures pertaining thereto. Benefits
will be paid to eligible displaced person upon submission of required claim forms and
documentation in accordance with the City's normal administrative procedures.
The City will process advance payment requests to mitigate 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.
Approved requests will be processed expeditiously to help avoid the loss of desirable, appropriate
replacement housing.
Tenants who are permanently displaced will be eligible for the following assistance:
1. Residential Moving Expense Payments
All eligible residential occupants to be permanently 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, the actual cost of a self -move not to exceed the fees charged by a
professional mover or a self -move fixed payment based on a room -count schedule, or a
combination of options.
a. 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 City 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 (i.e., gas, water, electricity,
telephone, and cable, if any), are eligible for reimbursement.
b. 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 or ancillary structures on the
property. 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.
The current schedule for fixed moving payments is set forth in Table 2 on the following

c. Self -Move Payment (based on actual costs to move)
The tenant may elect to claim a self -move payment based on reimbursement for actual
costs incurred with the move (packing materials, transport rental, etc.) not to exceed the
fees charged by a professional mover. In this case, the person to be relocated takes full
responsibility for the move. In addition to the actual move, costs associated with utility
re -connections (i.e., gas, water, electricity, telephone, and cable, if any), are eligible for
reimbursement.
2. Rental Assistance for Tenant Occupants Who Choose to Rent
To be eligible to receive the rental assistance benefits, the displaced tenant household must
rent or purchase and occupy a decent, safe, and sanitary replacement dwelling within one
year from the date they move from the displacement dwelling.
Except in the case of Last Resort Housing situations (Section E, Page 14), payments to
households will be payable over a 42-month period and limited to a total maximum
payment of $5,250 as stated in the Guidelines. (More information regarding rental
assistance and Last Resort Housing will be provided in detail in the informational brochure
(Exhibit C) that will be provided to each household at the initiation of relocation
activities.)

described above, may choose to receive a lump sum payment equal to forty-two months of
rental subsidy (including Last Resort Housing benefits) to purchase a new home.
A displaced household, who chooses 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. A provision shall be made in the escrow arrangements for
the prompt return of the City funds, in the event escrow should fail to close within a
reasonable period of time.
Final determination about the type of relocation benefits and assistance for which the
household is eligible will be determined upon verification of the household's occupants,
length of occupancy and income.
C. PROGRAM ASSURANCES AND STANDARDS
Adequate funds are available to relocate the Project households. Relocation assistance 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.
D. GENERAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE PAYMENT OF RELOCATION
BENEFITS
Claims and supporting documentation for relocation benefits must be filed with the City no later
than 18 months after the date of displacement.
The procedure for the preparation and filing of claims and the processing and delivery of payments
will be as follows:
13
22-22
1. Claimant(s) will provide all necessary documentation to substantiate eligibility for
assistance;
2. Relocation and City staff will review all necessary documentation including, but
not limited to, scopes -of -service, invoices, lease documents and escrow material
before reaching a determination as to which expenses are eligible for compensation;
3. Required claim forms will be prepared by relocation staff and presented to the
claimant for review. Signed claims and supporting documentation will be returned
to relocation staff and submitted to the City;
4. The City will review and approve claims for payment, or request additional
information;
5. The City will issue benefit checks to claimants in the most secure, expeditious
manner possible;
6. Final payments to residential displacees will be issued after confirmation that the
Project premises have been completely vacated, and actual residency at the
replacement unit is verified;
7. Receipts of payment and all claims' materials will be maintained in the relocation
case file.
E. LAST RESORT HOUSING
Based on housing cost and income data derived from the occupants and costs of replacement
housing resources, it is anticipated that "comparable replacement housing" may not be available
as required for the households. Specifically, for renters, when the computed replacement housing
assistance eligibility exceeds $5,250 or replacement dwelling monthly rental costs (including
utilities and other reasonable recurring expenses) exceeds 30% of the person's average monthly
income, Last Resort Housing must be provided.
Therefore, if the Project is to go forward, the City will authorize funds to provide housing of last
resort. In this situation, funds will be used to make payments in excess of the monetary limit
specified in the statute ($5,250); hence, satisfying the requirement that "comparable replacement
housing" is available.
A displaced tenant household will be entitled to consideration for supplementary benefits in the
form of Last Resort Housing assistance 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
(financial means).
Recipients of Last Resort rental assistance, who intend to purchase rather than re -rent replacement
housing, will have the right to request a lump sum payment of all benefits in the form of
downpayment assistance. Tenant households receiving periodic payments will have the option to
request a lump sum payment of remaining benefits to assist with the purchase of a decent, safe and
sanitary dwelling.
14
22-23
F RELOCATION TAX CONSEQUENCES
In general, relocation payments are not considered income for the purpose of Division 2 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1954, which has been redesignated as the Internal Revenue Code of
1986 (Title 26, U. S. Code), or for the purpose of determining the eligibility or the extent of
eligibility of any person for assistance under the Social Security Act (42 U. S. Code 301 et seq.)
or the Personal Income Tax Law, Part 10 (commencing with Section 17001) of the Revenue and
Taxation Code, or the Bank and Corporation Tax Law, Part II (commencing with Section 23001)
of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. The above statement on tax consequences is not
intended as tax advice by the City or OPC. Tenants are responsible for consulting with their own
tax advisors concerning the tax consequences of relocation payments.
15
22-24
V. ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS
A. STATE RELOCATION LAW NOTICES
Each notice, which the City is required to provide to a Project site occupant, shall be personally
delivered or sent by certified or registered first-class mail, return receipt requested or email with
confirmation and documented in the case file. Each notice will be written in plain, understandable
language. Each notice will indicate the name and telephone number of a person who may be
contacted for answers to questions or other needed help.
There are three principle notices required under California Relocation Law and Guidelines:
1) Informational Statement
2) Notice of Relocation Eligibility
3) 90- Day Vacate Notice
The Informational Statement is intended to provide potential relocatees with a general written
description of the City's relocation program and basic information concerning benefits, conditions
of eligibility, noticing requirements and appeal rights (Exhibit Q.
A Notice of Relocation Eligibility (NOE) will be distributed to each displaced household. The
NOE to the residential tenants contains a determination of eligibility for relocation assistance under
specific relocation programs and a computation of maximum entitlements based on information
provided by the affected household and the analysis of comparable replacement properties
identified by relocation staff.
No lawful occupant will be required to move without having received at least 90 days' advance
written notice of the earliest date by which the move will be necessary. A date -specific vacate
notice will not be issued to any tenants before comparable replacement dwellings have been made
available to them.
In addition to the three principal notices, relocation staff will issue timely written notification in
the form of a Reminder Notice, which discusses the possible loss of rights and sets the expiration
date for the loss of benefits to those persons who:
1) are eligible for monetary benefits,
2) have moved from the acquired property, and
3) have not filed a claim for benefits.
A Reminder Notice will be issued to all non -responsive relocatees no later than within the last six
months prior to the filing expiration date.
B. PRIVACY OF RECORDS
All information obtained from tenants is considered confidential and will not be shared without
the consent of the tenant or the City. The City and relocation staff will comply with federal
regulations concerning the safeguarding of relocation files and their contents.
16
22-25
C. GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES
A person who is dissatisfied with a determination as to eligibility for benefits, a payment amount,
the failure to provide comparable housing, or the City's property management practices may file
a Relocation Assistance Appeal Form or any other written form of appeal with the City and have
the right of administrative review. The City's appeal policies will follow 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.
Requests for administrative review and informal hearings will be directed to the Real Property
Administrator, Lauren Wooding Whitlinger, at lwooding@newportbeachca.gov. All requests for
review will receive written responses from the City within three weeks of their receipt. If an
informal appeal is denied, appellants will be entitled to file a written request for a formal hearing
before an impartial and independent hearing officer.
The appellant does not have to exhaust administrative remedies first; the appeal/grievance can
either go directly to HCD or directly to the Court. Any person and/or organization directly affected
by the relocation plan may petition the Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD), located at 651 Bannon Street, Sacramento, CA 95811 to review the relocation plan or HCD
can be contacted at 916-263-2769.
More detail concerning the appeals process will be provided upon request. Appellants will retain
their appeal rights for up to 18 months following the date of displacement from the Project
premises or receipt of final payment for relocation benefits, whichever is later.
D. EVICTION POLICY
1. Eviction may cause the forfeiture of a tenant's right to relocation assistance or
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 City'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 City.
17
22-26
E. RESIDENT/CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
As the process for considering the Project moves forward, the City will observe the following
protocol:
1. Provide affected tenants with full and timely access to documents relevant to the
relocation program;
2. Encourage meaningful participation in reviewing the relocation plan and
monitoring the relocation assistance program;
3. Provide technical assistance necessary to interpret elements of the Relocation Plan
and other pertinent materials (the Project households were provided with a copy of
the Relocation Plan for review and comment);
4. Issue a general notice concerning the availability of the Plan for public review, as
required, 30 days prior to its proposed approval (the Project households were
provided an Advisory Notice regarding the comment period with a copy of the
Relocation Plan); and
5. Include written or oral comments concerning the Plan as an attachment (Exhibit
D) when it is forwarded to City Council for approval.
F. PROJECTED DATE OF DISPLACEMENT
Date specific 90-Day will be issued to the Project households no earlier than August 2025.
G. ESTIMATED RELOCATION COSTS
The total budget estimate for tenant relocation benefits payments for this Project, including a 15%
contingency, is $88,000.00 (rounded). The estimated relocation budget does not include any
payments related to property acquisition or relocation assistance services.
If the Project is implemented, and circumstances arise that should change either the number of
residential occupants and/or the amount of relocation benefits' entitlements estimated, the City
will authorize any additional funds that may need to be appropriated. The City pledges to
appropriate, on a timely basis, the funds necessary to ensure the successful completion of the
Project, including funds necessary for LRH as indicated in Section IV, E, of this Plan to meet its
obligation under the relocation regulations.

Informational Statement for Families and Individuals
(CA State)
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The dwelling in which you now live is in a project area to be improved by, or financed through, the
Owner using state and/or local funds. If and when the project proceeds, and it is necessary for you
to move from your dwelling, you may be eligible for certain benefits. You will be notified in a timely
manner as to the date by which you must move. Please read this information, as it will be helpful to
you in determining your eligibility and the amount of relocation benefits you may receive under state
law. You will need to provide adequate and timely information to determine your relocation benefits.
The information is voluntary, but if you don't provide it, you may not receive the benefits, or it may
take longer to pay you. We suggest you save this informational statement for reference.
The Owner has retained the professional firm of Overland, Pacific & Cutler, LLC (OPQ, a
TranSystems company, to provide relocation assistance to you. The firm is available to explain the
program and benefits. Their address and telephone number are listed on the cover.
PLEASE DO NOT MOVE PREMATURELY. THIS IS NOT A NOTICE TO VACATE YOUR
DWELLING. However, if you desire to move sooner than required, you must contact your agent at
OPC, so you will not jeopardize any benefits. This is a general informational brochure only and is not
intended to give a detailed description of either the law or regulations pertaining to the Owner's
relocation assistance program.
Please continue to pay your rent to the Owner, otherwise you may be evicted and
jeopardize the relocation benefits to which you may be entitled to receive.
2. ASSISTANCE IN LOCATING A REPLACEMENT DWELLING
The Owner, through its representatives, will assist you in locating a comparable replacement dwelling
by providing referrals to appropriate and available housing units. You are encouraged to actively seek
such housing yourself.
When a suitable replacement dwelling unit has been found, your relocation agent will carry out an
inspection and advise you as to whether the dwelling unit meets decent, safe and sanitary housing
requirements. A decent, safe and sanitary housing unit provides adequate space for its occupants,
proper weatherproofing and sound heating, electrical and plumbing systems. Your new dwelling must
pass inspection before relocation assistance payments can be authorized.
3. MOVING BENEFITS
If you must move as a result of displacement by the Owner, you will receive a payment to assist in
moving your personal property. The actual, reasonable and necessary expenses for moving your
household belongings may be determined based on the following methods:
• A Fixed Moving Payment based on the number of rooms you occupy (see below); or
• A payment for your Actual Reasonable Moving and Related Expenses based on at least two
written estimates and receipted bills; or
• A combination of both (in some cases).
For example, you may choose a Self -Move, receiving a payment based on the Fixed Residential Moving
Cost Schedule shown below, plus contract with a professional mover to transport your grand piano
22-32
and /or other items that require special handling. In this case, there may be an adjustment in the
number of rooms which qualify under the Fixed Residential Moving Cost Schedule.
A. Fixed Moving Payment (Self -Move)
A Fixed Moving Payment is based upon the number
of rooms you occupy and whether or not you own
your own furniture. The payment is based upon a
schedule approved by the Owner, and ranges, for
example, from $510.00 for one furnished room to
$2,690.00 for eight rooms in an unfurnished dwelling.
(For details see the table). Your relocation agent will
inform you of the amount you are eligible to receive,
if you choose this type of payment.
If you select a fixed payment, you will be responsible
for arranging for your own move, and the Owner will
assume no liability for any loss or damage of your
personal property. A fixed payment also includes
utility hook-ups and other related moving fees.
Fixed Moving Schedule
CALIFORNIA Effective 2021
Occupant Owns Furniture:
1 room $780
2 rooms $1,000
3 rooms $1,250
4 rooms $1,475

7 rooms $2,380
8 rooms $2,690
Each additional room $285
Occupant does NOT Own
Furniture:
1 room $510
Each additional room $100
B. Actual Moving Expense (Professional Move)
If you wish to engage the services of a licensed commercial mover and have the Owner pay
the bill, you may claim the ACTUAL cost of moving your personal property up to 50 miles. Your
relocation agent will inform you of the number of competitive moving bids (if any) which may
be required, and assist you in developing a "mover" scope of services for Owner approval.
4. REPLACEMENT HOUSING PAYMENT - TENANTS AND CERTAIN OTHERS
You may be eligible for a payment of up to $5,250.00 to assist you in renting or purchasing a
comparable replacement dwelling. In order to qualify, you must either be a tenant who has occupied
the present dwelling for at least 90 days prior to the initiation of negotiations or an owner who has
occupied the present dwelling between 90 and 180 days prior to the initiation of negotiations.
A. Rental Assistance. If you qualify, and wish to rent your replacement dwelling, your
maximum rental assistance benefits will be based upon the difference over a forty-two
(42) month period between the rent you must pay for a comparable replacement dwelling
and the lesser of your current rent and estimated utilities or thirty percent (30%) of your
gross monthly household income. You will be required to provide your relocation agent
with monthly rent and household income verification prior to the determination of your
eligibility for this payment.
-OR-
B. Down -payment Assistance. If you qualify and wish to purchase a home as a
replacement dwelling, you can apply up to the total amount of your rental assistance
payment towards the down -payment and non -recurring incidental expenses. Your
relocation agent will clarify procedures necessary to apply for this payment.
Where a tenant is sharing a dwelling with an owner -occupant and paying the owner -occupant rent for
the privilege, the tenant shall not be entitled to more than one-half of the rental assistance otherwise
payable.
22-33
S. QUALIFICATION FOR, AND FILING OF, RELOCATION CLAIMS
To qualify for a Replacement Housing Payment, you must rent or purchase and occupy a comparable
replacement unit within one year from the following:
• For a tenant, the date you move from the displacement dwelling.
• For an owner -occupant, the latter of:
a. The date you receive final payment for the displacement dwelling, or, in the case of
condemnation, the date the full amount of estimated just compensation is deposited in
court,: or
b. The date you move from the displacement dwelling.
All claims for relocation benefits must be filed with the Owner within eighteen (18) months from
the date on which you receive final payment for your property, or the date on which you move,
whichever is later.
6. LAST RESORT HOUSING ASSISTANCE
If comparable replacement dwellings are not available when you are required to move, or if
replacement housing is not available within the monetary limits described above, the Owner will provide
Last Resort Housing assistance to enable you to rent or purchase a replacement dwelling on a timely
basis. Last Resort Housing assistance is based on the individual circumstances of the displaced person.
Your relocation agent will explain the process for determining whether or not you qualify for Last
Resort assistance.
If you are a tenant, and you choose to purchase rather than rent a comparable replacement dwelling,
the entire amount of your rental assistance and Last Resort eligibility must be applied toward the
down -payment and eligible incidental expenses of the home you intend to purchase.
7. EVICTIONS
Any person, who occupies the real property and is not in unlawful occupancy, is presumed to be
entitled to relocation benefits. Except for the causes of eviction set forth below, no person lawfully
occupying property to be purchased by the Agency will be required to move without having been
provided with at least 90 days written notice from the Agency. Eviction will be undertaken only in the
event of one or more of the following reasons:
• Failure to pay rent; except in those cases where the failure to pay is due to the lessor's failure to
keep the premises in habitable condition, is the result of harassment or retaliatory action or is the
result of discontinuation or substantial interruption of services;
• Performance of dangerous illegal act in the unit;
• Material breach of the rental agreement and failure to correct breach within the legally prescribed
notice period;
• Maintenance of a nuisance and failure to abate within a reasonable time following notice;
• Refusal to accept one of a reasonable number of offers of replacement dwellings; or
• The eviction is required by State or local law and cannot be prevented by reasonable efforts on the
part of the public entity.
8. APPEAL PROCEDURES - GRIEVANCE
22-34
Any person aggrieved by a determination as to eligibility for, or the amount of, a payment authorized
by the Owner's Relocation Assistance Program may have the appeal application reviewed by the Owner
in accordance with its appeals procedure. Complete details on appeal procedures are available upon
request from the Owner.
9. TAX STATUS OF RELOCATION BENEFITS
California Government Code Section 7269 indicates no relocation payment received shall be considered
as income for the purposes of the Personal Income Tax Law, Part 10 (commencing with Section 170
01) of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, or the Bank and Corporation Tax law, Part 11
(commencing with Section 23001) of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. Furthermore,
federal regulations (49 CFR Part 24, Section 24.209) also indicate that no payment received under this
part (Part 24) shall be considered as income for the purpose of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954,
which has been redesignated as the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. No federal dollars are anticipated
for this project. Therefore, federal regulations may not apply and the IRS may consider relocation
payments as income. The preceding statement is not tendered as legal advice in regard to tax
consequences, and displacees should consult with their own tax advisor or legal counsel to determine
the current status of such payments.
(IRS Circular 230 disclosure: To ensure compliance with requirements imposed by the IRS, we inform you that
any tax advice contained in this communication (including any attachments) was not intended or written to be
used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of (i) avoiding tax -related penalties under the Internal Revenue Code
or (ii) promoting marketing or recommending to another party any matters addressed herein)
10. NON-DISCRIMINATION AND FAIR HOUSING
No person shall on the grounds of race, color, national origin or sex, be excluded from participation in,
be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under the Owner's relocation assistance
program pursuant to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968,
and other applicable state and federal anti -discrimination and fair housing laws. You may file a
complaint if you believe you have been subjected to discrimination. For details contact the Owner.
11. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE
Those responsible for providing you with relocation assistance hope to assist you in every way possible
to minimize the hardships involved in relocating to a new home. Your cooperation will be helpful and
greatly appreciated. If you have any questions at any time during the process, please do not hesitate
to contact your relocation agent at OPC.
