MANUFACTURED HOME PARK CLOSURE/CONVERSION ORDINANCE Community Development On April 27,1993, the City Council directed the City Attorney to prepare a draft ordinance (attached) to regulate the closure and conversion of manufactured home parks. This direction was in response to the recommendation by the Manufactured Home Park Closure/Conversion Ordinance Committee (staff report and findings attached), that a local ordinance would bring together the various California state statutes governing park closures. This report summarizes the proposed ordinance and identifies the responsibilities of owners of manufactured home parks to home owners in the relocation process. The Manufactured Home Park Closure/Conversion Ordinance was reviewed several times by the Committee, and has received the unanimous support of committee members. Briefly, it reiterates all the state requirements, including: That prior to the change in use of a manufactured home park, the park owner file a Relocation Impact Report and Relocation Permit application with the Department of Community Development (specific items to be included in the report are detailed in the Ordinance); and That the Planning Commission conduct a public hearing on any proposed change in use of a manufactured home park, and that the Commission require that the park owner mitigate any adverse impacts of the change in use on displaced residents and nonresident owners. The ordinance stipulates the allowable relocation costs and conditions on changes in park use, the manner in which the park owner may pay benefits to manufactured home owners, responsibilities of the manufactured home owner, and the relocation destination range for which benefits are payable. Section 6.04.080 of the Ordinance does not grant relocation benefits to residents of manufactured homes who rent homes rather than own them. The Committee discussed whether or not to require manufactured home park owners to provide relocation benefits to renters, and decided that the degree of burden on someone who would not be required to move a manufactured home was not great when compared to the burden on someone who was. It was considered by the Committee s --/o --/ y Continued To: Agen-On Item: that a renter would experience only the short-term inconvenience of moving to another rental unit, but would not have the longer-term responsibility of moving a manufactured home, and thus no relocation benefits were warranted. The City Attorney has discussed this aspect of the ordinance with staff, and has provided separate comments in a confidential letter to the City Council. The ordinance enables the Planning Commission to require the manufactured home park owner to pay the following relocation costs to owners of relocated manufactured homes: The full cost of moving and relocating the manufactured home to a legal location within a 200 -mile radius, including Incidental costs of preparation and "take-down" of the home, moving, towing, mileage and insurance charges. (If the owner of the home desires a new location beyond a 200 -mile radius, then the owner pays the difference. If the home is destroyed or severely damaged during moving, the park owner Is required to either replace the home or to offer the cash value of the home to the owner.) Reasonable moving expenses for packing and moving the residents' personal items, including full value replacement insurance on the goods being moved, and mileage reimbursement, at the prevailing IRS rate for business travel, for each vehicle owned by the resident. • One month's storage expense while the manufactured home is being setup Ina new park. $1,000.00 for lodging, meals, and incidental expenses for the residents of each manufactured home, for a period of 21 days during the moving and set-up of the home in the new location. If the relocation takes longer than 21 days, then residents shall be entitled to $50.00 a day until relocation is completed, up to a maximum of 20 additional days. (The $1,000.00 was considered by the Committee to be a reasonable amount for a prudent person's expenses for a short period of time.) The ordinance does not require park owners to repair or to otherwise rehabilitate manufactured homes that are illegal structures, contain illegal additions, or do not meet requirements of the new park or new jurisdiction. Additionally, if a comparable relocation is unavailable within the 200 -mile radius, the park owner is not required to pay benefits over and above those explained above.

Mayor ATTEST: City Clerk STATE OF CALIFORNIA ) COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES ) § CITY OF SANTA CLARITA ) I, Donna M. Grindey, City Clerk, DO HEREBY CERTIFY that the above and foregoing Resolution was duly adopted by the City Council of the City of Santa Clarita at a regular meeting thereof, held on the day of , 1994, by the following vote of Council: AYES: COUNCILMEMBERS. NOES: COUNCILMEMBERS: ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: < Mffiord9 lx.k City Clerk AGENDA REPORT �U City Manager Approval Item to be presented Lynn M. Harris Lam.�4G CONSENT CALENDAR DATE: April 27, 1993 SUBJECT: Committee Findings: Manufactured Home Park ClosuretConverslon Ordinance DEPARTMENT: Community Development BACKGROUND The City Council directed the City Manager to appoint a committee of manufactured home park owners and residents to study the Issue of the closure and conversion of existing parks to other uses. The primary purpose of the committee was to make a recommendation to advise the Council whether or not a local ordinance would be beneficial to regulate this activity. The primary purpose of a closureiconverslon ordinance would be to define the proper relocation assistance and other potential benefits that park owners would be obligated to provide to residents who would be displaced by a park closure. A local ordinance would bring together the various state statutes governing park closures, which limit mitigation to relocation costs. The committee unanimously recommends that a local ordinance Is necessary, and that the City Council should appoint a committee to prepare a draft ordinance for the Council's consideration. The complete findings of the committee, also adopted unanimously, are attached. The City Manager appointed a balanced committee of park owners, tame owners, and an Independent mediator. The committee was composed of the following members: Park Residents/Home Owners: Jim Robinson and Jay Paul Park Owners: Tom Clark and Bill Read Independent Mediator: Mary Spring, voluntary Mediation Services The committee met four times, and the meetings were facilitated by City staff. This was a committee of lay people, knowledgeable of the Issues, yet not experts or trained In the taw. The Introductory paragraph of the committee findings states that these aro "...common sense conclusions..., and should be reviewed by an attorney prior to Implementation " The committee requested that their flndings be transmitted to the Council as drafted, and they are attached for your review and comment. For your Information, staff has prepared a chart estimating average relocation costs, which Is attached. Costs average between $3,450 and $6,000, depending on the type of manufactured home. The State Planning and Zoning Law states, 'The steps to be taken to mitigate shall not exceed the reasonable costs of relocation" The Subdivision Map Act, which would appy to park conversions proposing to subdivide land Into multiple parcels, states that, " This section establishes a minimum standard for local regulation of conversions of mobllehome parks Into other uses and shall not APPROVED Agenda Item:_ prevent a local agency from enacting more stringent measures." A local ordinance would have to conform to the mandatory requirements of the state, and could exceed state requirements where discretion Is allowed. A City ordinance for closures would clarify the requirements for doth park owners and residents. The ordinance would not create an additional set of obligations, but rather, take Into account all of the state regulations and our local needs, and state in one place all of the requirements for a closure. RECOMMENDATION 1. Direct the City Attorney and staff to review and comment on the Committee's findings. 2. Direct the City Attorney to prepare a draft ordinance for City Council review and direction. LMH:KJM anwrtvMp_e .,.�. FINDINGS OF THE MANUFACTURED HOME PARK CLOSURE/CONVERSION COMMITTEE April 1993 The Committee of manufactured home owners, manufactured home park owners, and a mediator knowledgeable of tenanViandlord Issues have reached consensus on Issues regarding a local manufactured home park closurelconversion ordinance. These are common sense conclusions of lay people and should be reviewed by an attorney prior to their Inclusion in any future ordinance.

The Committee reviewed the existing sections of the Civil Code, the Subdivision Map Act, and the California Zoning and Planning Law.
