6 <br />shower and laundry facilities. The cost and funding source for these improvements <br />and the potential timeline for allowing Live Aboard uses at the Municipal Marina is not <br />addressed in the Docktown Plan but is currently being assessed for future <br />consideration. (Note that whether this Municipal Marina, or any other marina, might <br />accommodate residents from Docktown does not affect the decision before the <br />Council tonight, which is whether adopt the Docktown Plan for terminating residential <br />use at Docktown.) <br /> <br />Individuals who are living on boat and barge-based vessels that cannot relocate to <br />other marinas will need to move to land-based housing. There are adequate market <br />rate one-bedroom apartments on the peninsula to accommodate the remaining <br />relocation needs; one-bedroom apartments were used for comparison because the <br />size of an average one-bedroom unit is equivalent to the size of the average Live <br />Aboard dwelling. Housing for priority needs groups such as low-income, seniors and <br />veterans also exist, and include 11 facilities that are currently taking applications. <br /> <br />3. Relocation Advisory Assistance – The draft Plan establishes eligibility criteria for <br />receiving benefits and advisory assistance. OPC will determine eligibility to receive <br />benefits based on information from completed tenant interviews and will provide <br />tenants and sub-tenants with a notice of eligibility. OPC will then provide individual <br />advice on relocation resources and obtaining compensation for relocation expenses. <br /> <br />4. Relocation Financial Assistance – Although not required, the City will provide financial <br />assistance to three different types of tenants: <br />a. Those who own their vessel and live on it; <br />b. Those who own a vessel and rent it out to others to live on; and, <br />c. Those who live on a vessel and do not own it. <br /> <br />The type of assistance that will be provided depends on the category of tenant or sub- <br />tenant and the navigability of the vessel. The following is a summary of all types of <br />assistance that will be offered, but the specific benefits will vary depending on individual <br />circumstances: <br /> <br />· Individuals will be reimbursed for actual moving cost of movable vessels <br />· Individuals will be reimbursed for actual moving costs of household goods <br />· Individuals who are disabled, low income, seniors, or veterans will receive either <br />three months of land-based housing rent payments or three months of berth rent <br />differential payments (recognizing the differences between berth rents at <br />Docktown and at a new marina), depending on whether they move to land-based <br />housing or a new marina <br />· Individuals selling their vessels will be reimbursed up to $1,000 <br />· Individuals able to move earlier in 2017 will receive additional incentive payments <br />on a sliding scale, starting with $10,000 for owners of vessels and $5,000 for non- <br />owners; the incentive payment amount will decrease over time <br />· Individuals desiring to sell their vessels to the City will be offered fair market value <br />of the structure, though the tenant is not obligated to sell their vessel to the City. <br />6.1.B. - Page 16
