CITY OF REDWOOD CnY- DOWNTOWN RETAIL- CINEMA PROJECT ON BROADWAY S ' 71 L 7 <br />A. METHODOLOGY AND ASSESSMENT OF NEEDS <br />To obtain information necessary for the preparation of this Plan, personal interviews <br />were conducted with all but one of the businesses during the month of December 2002 <br />(one of the governmental offices did not provide information.) Survey questions asked <br />of the business representatives generally concerned existing conditions, such as type of <br />business or service provided; type of occupancy; current monthly lease /rental amounts; <br />business income information; description and size of current operations; special <br />requirements, if any, and area /facility preferences for replacement locations. <br />The primary purpose of this Relocation Plan is to outline the requirements for moving <br />and re- establishing the entities being displaced, and to demonstrate the level of <br />advisory and financial assistance that will be provided. While there is no specific <br />requirement under California Relocation Law or Guidelines mandating that alternate <br />relocation sites be made available to commercial businesses at the time of <br />displacement, the City is committed to making every effort to satisfactorily relocate and <br />reestablish the businesses. <br />B. FIELD SURVEY DATA <br />During the survey period, eighteen (18) businesses, one (1) federal governmental <br />agency and one (1) local governmental nutritional program were occupying space within <br />the Project area. The information shown in the table below is based on personal <br />interviews conducted with all Project occupants except the federal governmental <br />agency, which did not provide information. <br />The businesses impacted by the Project are located along the perimeter of the Project <br />area. Several businesses located in the central section of the Project had been <br />previously closed and were vacant at the time of the survey. In addition, one office <br />located above the shoe repair business was vacant at the time of the survey. <br />The table below provides an overview of the types of businesses impacted by the <br />Project, including ownership type, number of employees and square footage at the <br />project site. Also indicated are special space or equipment needs at the replacement <br />site. Existing monthly rental range is $0.75 to $2.50 per square foot. <br />PREPARED BY: PACIFIC RELOCATION CONSULTANTS (PRC) PAGE 3 <br />
