The partnership described in the proposed cooperative funding agreement includes a series of actions required by the City Council to establish a final funding plan and retain $5,000,000 granted to SCTA through the Senate Bill Local Partnership Program before those funds lapse at the end of Fiscal Year 2022-23. The proposed funding plan includes moving $3,400,000 in State Transportation Improvement Funds from the US 101 Bicycle and Pedestrian Overcrossing Project (Elliot/Edwards Avenues) to the Hearn Regular Meeting Agenda and Summary Report

15. PUBLIC HEARINGS
Public Hearing matters will begin no earlier than 5:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the matters are reached on the agenda.
15.1 PUBLIC HEARING - AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER 6-66 OF THE
SANTA ROSA CITY CODE - INTRODUCING A MOBILEHOME RENT
CONTROL ORDINANCE
BACKGROUND: City of Santa Rosa mobilehome park residents (“Residents”) requested a reduction in the maximum allowable annual rent increase. City staff (“Staff”) has reviewed the local and statewide mobilehome rent control landscape and has convened ad hoc meetings between Residents and mobilehome park owners (“Owners”).
Accordingly, Staff recommends that the Council reduce the maximum annual allowed rent increase from 100% of CPI with a 6% cap to 75% of CPI with a 5% cap and allow Owners to raise rents by 10% upon in-place transfers. In-place transfers occur when a mobilehome owner sells their home to another person. Currently, the City Code does not allow in-place transfer increases in half of the parks and limits such Regular Meeting Agenda and Summary Report

increases in the other half.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Housing and
Community Services Department and the City Attorney’s Office that the Council introduce an ordinance amending Chapter 6-66 of the Santa Rosa City Code to: (1) reduce the allowable annual rent increases from 100% of CPI with a 6% cap to 75% of CPI with a 5% cap; (2) allow for a 10% increase in space rent following an In-Place Transfer; and (3) make other minor amendments to conform to changes in State law.
