• Planning Commission
Resolution 24-13
• Request from Planning
Commission
BACKGROUND:
On October 15, 2024, the Planning Commission conducted a Public Hearing on a Development Code Amendment on Chapter 19.124, Mobile Home Parks and Special Occupancy Parks and forwarded a recommendation to the City Council for approval of the amendment. Staff has received a request from the Planning Commission Chairman to return the item to the Commission for reconsideration of the item.
This Development Code Amendment is another of the series of modifications to zoning regulations (i.e. the Development Code) that Staff has initiated in order to update, clean up, and generally make regulations more clear and understandable. On September 19, 2023, November 07, 2023, and February 20, 2024, the Commission conducted Public Hearings on proposed changes to the regulations for Mobile Home Parks, Recreational Vehicle Parks and Campgrounds. The Commission and Staff also conducted workshops on this matter at the meetings of March 07, 2023, and August 20, 2024.
The Planning Commission requested that the regulations for Mobile Home Parks, Recreational Vehicle Parks and Campgrounds be separate. Additionally, Staff has conducted research into State Law, as well other jurisdictions as to how these activities are regulated.
The following are the recommended changes to the Development Code Chapter:
The changes to the Mobile Home Park (MHP) section include:
1. Defining the maximum density of a MHP to eight (8) spaces per acre.
2. Increasing the minimum lot size to ten (10) acres.
3. Defining the minimum dimension of each space at 40' x 100' (4,000 square feet).
4. Reducing the parking requirement to one stall per unit and guest parking to one stall per five units.
5. Requiring common laundry facilities.
6. Reducing the landscape buffer to ten (10) feet along street frontages.
7. Removing the requirement for amenities.
8. Requiring trash enclosures (three (3) enclosures per five acres) The changes to the Recreational Vehicle Park section include
1. Allowing RV parks in the Commercial Tourist (CT), Public (P) and Rural Living (RL) zones.
2. Increasing the minimum lot size to ten (10) acres.
3. Allowing a density of fifteen (15) spaces per acre.
4. Implementing a fifty-foot setback from all property lines.
5. Requiring trash enclosures (three (3) enclosures per five (5) acres)
6. Requiring a sewage disposal system (dump station).
The changes to the Campground section include:
1. Allowing campgrounds in the Commercial Tourist (CT), Public (P) and Rural Living (RL) zones.
2. Increasing the minimum lot size to ten (10) acres.
3. Allowing a density of fifteen (15) spaces per acre.
4. Implementing a fifty-foot setback from all property lines.
5. Requiring trash enclosures (three (3) enclosures per five (5) acres) This Development Code Amendment also includes the repeal of Section 19.26.050 Mobile Home-Tourist Commercial District (MH-CT). This is an overlay district to allow Mobile Home Parks in the Tourist Commercial (CT) District. Mobile Home Parks are permitted in the CT districts pursuant to the Land Use Table of Chapter 19.16, therefore this additional regulation is unnecessary.
ENVIRONMENTAL:
This action is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3), which states that the activity is covered by the common-sense exception that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where is can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council could choose to:
1. Adopt the Ordinance and approve the Development Code Amendment.
2. Request additional information from Staff and postpone the hearing to a date certain.
3. Make modifications to the draft code and adopt with recommended changes.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.

• Council Organizational
Assignments 2024
BACKGROUND:
Members of the City Council are assigned to represent the City on various public agencies as board members, members of committees, or delegates. Council action is required to appoint members to these organizations.
The amount of required participation varies depending on the assignment. Although attendance is not always convenient, it is important that the City have continuing representation on these boards and committees because much of the work affects the City fiscally and otherwise. As a consequence, most of the appointments have an alternate delegate who attends if the primary representative is not available.
Due to the value of networking and establishing alliances, which can positively affect the City’s ability to obtain grants and other revenues, long-term (multi-year) participation in these positions can be beneficial.
