(4) The general location on a map and approximate number of dwelling units by size (number of bedrooms) that will be provided as replacement dwelling units;
(5) The source of funding and a time schedule for the provision of replacement dwelling units; and
(6) The basis for concluding that each replacement dwelling unit will remain a low/moderate income dwelling unit for at least 10 years from the date of initial occupancy.
(C) The city will provide relocation assistance, as described in the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, to each low-to-moderate income household displaced by the demolition of housing or by the conversion of a low-to-moderate income dwelling to another use as a direct result of assisted activities.
(D) Consistent with the goals and objectives of activities assisted under the Act, the city will take the following steps to minimize the displacement of persons from their homes:
(1) Minimize or eliminate any activities such as acquisition or demolition which could be expected to result in the displacement of low to moderate income persons; and
