Title
2014 Housing Element Implementing Ordinances for Mobilehome Park and Special Occupancy Park Conversions
This item involves consideration of ordinances and Local Coastal Program (LCP)
Amendments implementing the 2014 Housing Element for Mobilehome Park and
Special Occupancy Park Conversions. The applicable Housing Element
implementation measure is H-1M29:
“H-IM29. Procedures for Conversion of Mobile Home Parks and Recreational Vehicle Parks. The County shall amend County Code to adopt a mobilehome park conversion ordinance pursuant to Government Code §65863.7, and to require similar procedures acceptable to the Planning Commission for conversion of Recreational Vehicle Parks to other uses. Responsible Agency: Planning and Building Department. Timeframe: By January 1, 2016.”
The purpose of the Manufactured Home Park Conversion and Special Occupancy Park Conversion ordinances is to ensure that adequate notice is given to park residents before any conversion of these parks to other uses occurs. The ordinances would help address the social and fiscal impacts of the proposed conversion and provide relocation and other assistance when warranted. The Ordinances would add sections 313-106.9 and 313-113.2 to Title III, Division I, Chapter 3 (Coastal Zoning Regulations), and sections 314-106.9 and 314-113.2 of Title III, Division 1, Chapter 4 (Inland Zoning Regulations) to the Humboldt County Code.
Recommendation
Adopt the attached Resolution recommending Board approval of the Manufactured Home Park Conversion Ordinance to come into line with state law and consider a similar ordinance regarding the conversion of RV Parks (“special occupancy parks”).
