The in -use value (fair market value of the personal property for continued use at its location prior to displacement) minus net proceeds realized from the sale'of all or part of the property; or b. The in -use value of the personal property, in the event the property cannot be sold And is abandoned. The actual direct loss of personal property shall be computed and based on an appraisal obtained by either the Agency or the dis- placed business, and approved by the other. In order to obtain a payment for the actual direct loss of personal property, the displaced business shall make a bona fide effort to sell the personal property for which the loss is claimed at the highest price offered after reasonable efforts have been made over a reasonable period of time to interest prospective purer chasers.

[§ 6271 Proration of Payments For the purpose of calculating an alternate payment under Section 603, or a replacement housing payment under Section 604 or 614, two or more individuals (whether they are members of one family or not) living together in and displaced from a single dwelling shall be regarded as one displaced resident. If two or more such individuals submit more than one claim, an eligible claimant for a payment may be paid only his reasonable prorata share (as determined by the Agency) of the total pay- ment•applicable to a single displaced resident. The total of the pay- ments made to all such claimants moving from the dwelling unit shall not exceed the total payment allowed:to be made to a single displaced resident. h'here a tenant is sharing a single-family dwelling with an; -owner - occupant and paying the owner -occupant rent for the privilege,'the ten- ant shall not be entitled to more than one-half of the replacement housing payment otherwise payable.

Where the Agency deter- ' mines the comparative method is not feasible, it may establish a schedule of reasonable rental charges for the various types of comparable replacement dwellings. The Agency shall cooperate with other entities causing displacement in the area to establish a uniform schedule. The schedule shall be based on a current analysis of the market to determine a reasonable rental charge for each type of dwelling to be rented. The analysis may be confined to the sub -area from which the persons are displaced or may cover several different sub -areas, if they satisfy or exceed the criteria for a comparable replacement dwelling. To assure the greatest comparability of dwellings in any analysis, the analysis shall be divided into classifications of the type.of construc- tion, number of bedrooms, and range of rental charges; or (c) Alternative Method. Where the Agency deter- mines that neither the schedule, nor com- parable method is feasible in a given situa- tion, by the use of another reasonable method selected by the Agency.

(1) Base Monthlv Rental. The base monthly rental shall be the lesser of: (a) the average monthly rental paid by displaced resident for the 3 -month period prior to initiation of negotiations; and (2) (b) twenty-five percent (258) of the dis- placed resident's average monthly income. Where the displaced resident was the owner of the dwelling from which he was displaced or was not required to pay rent for that dwelling, or where the rental was unreal- istically low, the economic rent shall be used in lieu of the average monthly rental to calculate base monthly rental. for Comparable monthly rental for a compar ing shall be determined by of the following -methods: ement ble re The dwell - the Agency using one (a) Comparative Method. On a case by case basis by determining the listing rental of dwellings which are most representative of the acquired dwelling and meet the definition of a compar- able replacement dwelling. Whenever possible the listing rental of at least three dwellings shall be considered; or -44- b.

Where the displaced resident is the owner -occupant of the dwelling, the payment made under Section 615b shall not exeed the amount of payment to which the resident would be entitled under Section 604. C. The displaced resident shall within one year from the date of displacement rent or purchase (as the case may be) and occupy a replacement dwelling. Where for reasons beyond the control of the displaced resident completion of con- struction, rehabilitation, or relocation of a replacement dwelling is delayed beyond the date by which occupancy is required, the Agency shall determine the date of occupancy to be the date the displaced resident enters into a contract for such construction, rehabilitation, or relocation or for rental or purchase, upon completion, of a dwelling to be constructed or rehabilitated, if, in fact, the displaced person occupies the replacement dwelling when the construction or rehabilitation is completed. Where for reasons of hardship or circumstances" beyond the control of the displaced resident, such person is unable to occupy the replacement dwelling by the required date, the Agency may extend the deadline as necessary. If by the deadline the displaced person has contracted to rent or purchase a replacement dwelling, the Agency will extend the deadline. No person otherwise eligible for payment, shall be denied such eligibility as a result of his being unable, because of a major state or national disaster, to meet the occupancy requirements con= tained herein. -43- 6. [5 6131 Lease of Condominium For the purposes of this Section 604, the leasing of a'condomin- ium for a 99 -year period, or for a term which exceeds the life expec- tancy of the displaced resident as determined by the most recent life tables in Vital Statistics of the United States, as published by the Public Health Service of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, shall be deemed a purchase of the condominium.

IS 6161 Eligibility A displaced resident is eligible for a replacement housing payment if such person satisfies the following conditions: a. Has actually and lawfully occupied the dwelling from which he is displaced for a period of not less than 90 days prior to the initiation of negotiations for acquisition of such dwelling.

(§ 611) Multi -Family Dwelling In the case of a displaced homeowner who is required to move from a one -family unit of a multi -family building which he owns, the replacement housing payment shall be -based on the cost of a comparable one -family unit in a multi -family building of approximately the same density or if that is not available in a building of the next less density, or, if a comparable one -family unit in such a multi -family building is not available, the cost of any otherwise comparable single-family structure. 5. 15 6121 Homeowner Retention of Dwelling If a displaced homeowner elects to retain, move, and occupy his dwelling, the amount payable as the replacement housing payment is the difference between the acquisition price of the acquired property and the sum of the moving and restoration expenses, the cost of cor- recting decent, safe, and sanitary deficiencies, if any, and the actual purchase price of a comparable relocation site. The payment shall not exceed the amount of the replacement housing payment to which the homeowner would otherwise be entitled. -41- • • • o (3) Alternative Method. Where the Agency determines that neither the schedule, nor comparative method is feasible in a given situation, by the use of another reasonable method selected by the Agency. Whichever method is selected the cost shall be updated to within three months of the date of purchase of the replacement dwelling. b. [S 609) Increased Interest Cost Increased interest cost shall be equal to the discounted pre- sent value of the difference between the aggregate interest appli- cable to the amount of the principal of the mortgage on the acquired dwelling over its remaining term at the time of acquisition, and other debt service costs, and the aggregate interest paid on the mortgage on the replacement dwelling, and other debt'service costs. The term and amount of the mortgage on the replacement dwelling for the purposes of this Section shall be the lesser of the remaining term and amount of the mortgage on the acquired dwelling, or the actual term and amount of the mortgage on the replacement dwelling. The amount of the debt service cost with respect to -the replacement dwelling shall be the lesser of the debt service cost based on - the cost required for a comparable replacement dwelling, or the'debt service cost based on the actual cost of the replacement dwelling. Prepaid interest or "points" shall be considered in the deter- mination of the aggregate interest. In calculating the amount of compensation, increased interest cost shall be reduced to discounted present value using the prevail- ing interest rate paid on savings deposits by commercial banks in the general area in which the replacement dwelling. is located. C.. is 6101 Expenses Incident to the Purchase of the Replacement Dwelling The replacement housing payment shall include the amount neces- sary to reimburse the displaced resident for actual costs incurred by him incident to the purchase of the replacement dwelling-, includ- ing but not limited to the following: (1) Legal, closing, and related costs including title search, preparing conveyance contracts, notary fees, surveys, preparing drawings or plats, and charges paid incident to recordation; -40- r� or circumstances beyond the control of the displaced resident, such person is unable to occupy the replacement dwelling by the required date, the Agency may extend the deadline as necessary. If by the deadline the displaced person has contracted to purchase a replacement dwelling, the Agency will extend the deadline.

IS 6071 Computation of Replacement Housing Payment a. IS 6081 Reasonable Cost of Comparable Replacement Dwelling In determining the reasonable cost of a comparable replacement dwelling, the Agency shall use one of the following methods: (1) Comparative Method. On a case by case basis by determiing the listing price of dwellings which have been selected by the Agency and which are most rep- resentative of the acquired dwelling unit and -meet the definition of a comparable replacement dwelling. When- ever possible the listing price of at least -three dwellings shall be con- sidered; or (2) Schedule Method. Where the Agency deter mines the comparative method is not fea- sible, it may establish a schedule of reasonable acquisition costs for the various types of comparable replacement dwellings. The Agency shall cooperate with other entities causing displacement in the area to establish a uniform schedule. The schedule shall be based on a current analysis of the market to determine a reasonable cost for each type of dwelling to be purchased. The analysis may be confined to the sub -area from which persons are displaced or may cover several different sub -areas, if they satisfy or exceed the criteria for a comparable replacement dwelling. To assure the greatest comparability of dwellings in any analysis, the analysis shall be divided into classifications of the type of construction, number of bedrooms, and price ranges; or -319- 00 C. Reasonable expenses incurred by the displaced resident incident to the purchase of the replacement dwelling, but not including prepaid expenses; d. The cost of rehabilitating a dwelling which does not satisfy the decent, safe and sanitary standard. 2.

Such housing shall meet the standards of an adequate replacement dwelling. The Agency shall minimize, to the greatest extent feasible, :. the use of temporary replacement housing. Temporary replacement housing may be used, among other appropriate times, when a project plan anticipates moves back into completed project accommodations. Notwithstanding the provision that permanent housing facilities may be made available at any time within three (3) years from the time residents are displaced, to the extent reasonably practicable, the Agency shall not rely upon temporary replacement housing if comparable replacement dwellings will not be available to the dis- placed resident within twelve (12) months of the date of the tem- porary move.

(5'511) Adjustment for Housing Turnover The gross'number of comparable replacement dwellings" in the survey area shall be discounted to reflect the extent to which turn over exists. Turnover is the dynamic operation by which occupancy changes occur within a standing inventory of dwelling 'units over a period of time and theoretically could occur in the•complete absence of vacancies on a person to person basis. Turnover may not be counted as an available housing resource. 3. 15 5121 Review of survey Results When more than twenty-five (25) households will be displaced, results of 'the survey of comparable replacement dwellings shall be submitted for review to local housing, development and planning agencies and shall be compared to other existing information on housing. Notwithstanding the results of the surveyy.of comparable teplacer� ment dwellings, if the demand for housing •is such that there are no vacancies other than those permitted by'turnover, the Agency may proceed to displace residents from dwellings, but only to the extent that the Agency obtains offers of comparable replacement dwellings for such residents in accordance with the provisions of Section 513. C. (5 5131 Offers of Replacement Dwellin s' The Agency shall obtain at least three offers of comparable re- placement dwellings for each displaced resident; provided that where the Agency determines that, due to special circumstances, three.`is not a reasonable number, -.fewer than three offers-may`be''deemed suf- ficient'to'satisfy the requirements of this Section. Such offers shall be in writing, in a language understood by the displaced resident. The Agency's obligation to obtain a comparable replacement dwell- ing for any displaced resident shall be deemed to be satisfied if such resident is offered and refuses without justification, the number of specifically identified comparable replacement dwellings provided for in this Section. (2) (§ 5081 Uncompleted 17ew Construction or Rehabtation Uncompleted new construction or rehabilitation shall only be counted toward the gross number of comparable replacement dwellings if there is a substantial likelihood that the dwelling units will be available when needed and at housing prices or rental costs within the financial means of the prospective occupants. (3) (§ 5091 Publicly Subsidized Housin Publicly subsidized housing, as defined pursuant to Article XXXIV of the California Constitution and Sections 37000 through 37002 of the California Health and Safety Code, shall only be counted toward the gross number of comparable replacement dwellings if it reasonably can be established that: (a) The dwelling units will be available when needed; (b) The governmental body providing the subsidy has made, in writing, a reasonably binding commitment of assistance; (c) The dwelling units have been inspected and determined to be decent, safe and sanitary and the income ceilings, rent ranges and age restrictions, if any, have been con- sidered; (d) The number of dwelling units available in the City exceeds the number of households in need of the dwelling units, provided however that.this requirement shall not apply when: (i) the Agency or another public entity undertakes to provide such publicly subsidized housing specifically as a relocation resource; or, (ii) the Agency establishes that such publicly subsidized housing will be replaced by last resort housing within four (4) years. To establish that last resort housing will be developed as required the Agency must have site con- trol with permissive zoning, preliminary plans and conditional commitments for subsidy and financing, or the equivalent, and must identify ownership; -29- V.
