_
amending
the
Lancaster
Municipal
Code,
Title
11,
Section
11.08.060,
changing
the
annual
mobilehome
park
rental
increase
calculation
from
the
current
formula
of
60%
of
the
Consumer
Price
Index
(CPI)
to
an
annual
increase
structure
based
on
the annual CPI, at a minimum of 2.5% and a maximum of 3%.
The
current
CPI-based
formula
creates
unpredictable
year-to-year
variations,
making
it
difficult
for
both
residents
and
park
owners
to
plan
ahead.
In
conclusion,
the
proposed
amendment
to
cap
annual
mobilehome
park
rental
increases
at
2.5%
minimum
and
3%
maximum
would
enhance
housing
stability
for

residents,
provide
