SUMMARY
In the first half of 2022, the City facilitated a stakeholder process with mobile home park owners and residents to see if they could come up with a single, comprehensive model accord that could be used by all mobile home parks to exempt mobile home spaces and mobile homes from the Mobile Home Rent Stabilization Ordinance ( MHRSO), subject to Council approval of the accord, as well as 80% resident approval in each mobile home park. The process did not yield such a model accord , and at the conclusion of the process , staff recommended that the MHRSO be amended to remove the accord exemption.
On June 28, 2022, the City Council held a public hearing and approved the first reading of an ordinance amending the City’s MHRSO to remove the exemption for mobile home spaces and mobile homes in a mobile home park that are subject to an approved accord (see Attachment 2).
This Consent item is the second reading and final adoption of the ordinance amendment. If adopted, the ordinance will be effective on October 13, 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to amending the MHRSO and removing the exemption for parks with approved accords.
