Chapter 2 Affected Environment Environmental Consequences, and Avoidance and Minimization Measures 2.1.4 Relocations and Real Property Acquisition 2.1.4.1 Regulatory Setting The Department's Relocation Assistance Program (RAP) is based on the Federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (as amended) and Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 24. The purpose of the RAP is to ensure that persons displaced as a result of a transportation project are treated fairly, consistently, and equitably so that such persons will not suffer disproportionate injuries as a result of projects designed for the benefit of the public as a whole. Please see Appendix C for a summary of the RAP. All relocation services and benefits are administered without regard to race, color, national origin, or sex in compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act (42 USC 2000d, et seq.). Please see Appendix D for a copy of the Department's Title VI Policy Statement. 2.1.4.2 Affected Environment The fallowing discussion is from the Community Impact Assessment (URS 2015a) for the proposed project, which was completed in September 2015. The proposed project would require the full acquisition of two parcels and partial acquisitions from industrial, commercial/office, and municipal properties. Throughout the project area, temporary construction easements (TCEs) would be needed for construction access and staging. No residential properties would be affected. The potentially affected properties are shown in Figure 2.1.4-1 and listed in Table 2.1.4-1. Descriptions of potential project impacts are provided below. It is possible that as engineering studies for the project design progress, there may be changes in property impacts. 2.1.4.3 Environmental Consequences The No Build Alternative would not require any property relocations. North of US 101, both of the Build Alternatives would have generally the same effects to the properties listed in Table 2.1.4-1. South of US 101, the southbound US 101 on-ramp from Woodside Road could require more land from the parking area of the 24 Hour Fitness facility (#8 in Table 2.1.4-1) with Alternative 3 than with Alternative 8B. Alternatives 3 and 8B are expected to result in the closure or displacement of a Denny's restaurant and a County of San Mateo parking lot (#18 and #23 in Table 2.1.4-1), as described below. Suitable relocation properties are available in Redwood City and the surrounding area (within a 50 -mile radius). Dennv's Restaurant Both Build Alternatives would add a westbound through lane, eastbound left and right turn lanes to Broadway, and Class IV bike lanes on Woodside Road. These project features would encroach onto the eastern side of the Denny's property and would encroach onto the portion of the US 1011INoodside Road Interchange Improvement Project 2-22 December 2016 ATTYIAGR.2018.091/Associated Right of Way Services Inc.
