. . . RESOLUTION NO. 05-10 CITY OF ELK RIVER A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE RESIDENTIAL ANTI-DISPLACEMENT AND RELOCATION ASSISTANCE PLAN Residential Anti-displacement and Relocation Assistance Plan Elk River, Minnesota The City of Elk River anticipates participating in the Minnesota Small Cities Development Program. Through this participation, land acquisition, building demolition and new construction will occur. The consequence of the proposed activity is that a potential for displacement exists, although it is not anticipated. The purpose of the Residential Anti-displacement and Relocation Assistance Plan is to describe the steps the City of Elk River shall take to mitigate the adverse effects of displacement on low and moderate-income persons. A. The City of Elk River will replace all occupied and vacant occupiable to low and moderate income dwelling units demolished or converted to a use other than as low to moderate income housing as a direct result of activities assisted with funds provided under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, as described in 24 CFR 570.606 and 24 CFR, Part 42. All replacement housing will be provided within three (3) years of the commencement of the demolition or rehabilitation relating to conversion. Before obligating or expending funds that will directly result in such demolition or conversion, the City of Elk River will make public and submit to the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) the following information in writing: I. A description of the proposed assisted activity; 2. The location on a map and number of dwelling units by size (number of bedrooms) that will be demolished or converted to a use other than as low to moderate income dwelling units as a direct result of the assisted activity; 3. A time schedule for the commencement and completion of the demolition or conversions; 4. The location on a map and approximate number of dwelling units by size (number of bedrooms) that will be provided as replacement dwelling units. If such data are not available at the time of the general submission, the City of Elk River will identify the general location on an area map and the approximate number of dwelling units by size and provide information identifying the specific location and number of dwelling units by size as soon as it is available; 5. The source of funding and a time schedule for the provision of replacement dwelling units; 6. The basis for concluding that each replacement dwelling unit will remain a low to moderate income dwelling unit for at least ten (10) years from the date of initial occupancy; and 7. Information demonstrating that any proposed replacement of dwelling units with small units (e.g. a 2-bedroom unit with two I-bedroom units) is consistent with the housing needs of low and moderate income households in the jurisdiction. The City of Elk River may request the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development to recommend that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development approve 05-10
