TO : Planning Commission
FROM: Planning Depar t.ment
SUEJECT:, _-.--- ZCA 123 - MOBILEHOME PARK ZONE - To consider an amendment of the Zone Code to establish a Mobile-
home Park Zone.
As th~ Planning Comnission may recall, a Draft Nobilehome
Grd:lnance was considered at the Commission Meeting of April
23, 1980. At that time, the Planning Commission referred
the item to City Council to establish a Mobilehome committee to consider and modify the proposed ordinance. On May 6,
1980, the City Council appointed z nine member committee
repvesentinq Mobilehome Park Residents, Mobi lehome Park
Owners, a citizen at large, the Chamber of Commerce, Plann- iny Commission and City Council.
Several meetings were held over the past few month3 to
consider the Mobiiehome Park Ordinance. Attached for your
cons2deratio.n is the final drzf t ordinance (Exhibit "A")
established by the Committee.
The major features of the ordinance are as follows:
1, Thc estahllshrnent of a. new P .bilehome Park Zone (RFEP) --- -
The establishment of a separate zone is the most signi-
ficant change to the original ordinance presented to
the Commission. As the Commission may recall, the
original draft recommelrded an overlay zone which could
be applied to any existing residential zone. A new
zone will require a zone change for all new proposed
MoSilehome Parks and a rezoning of all existing Mobile-
home Parks. If this ordinance is adopted, staff will
brinq back a resolution to rezone a11 the existing
Mobilehome Parks to the IUIHP zone.
2. The deletion of a12 existing provisions relating -- to
Mobil ehornes in the Zoning Ordinance __.---I-- ~_.__--_l_l
------I- -
This would entail the deletion of the Conditional Use
Permit requirement for Mobil-ehomes in' residential
zones. Henceforth, any Mobilehome must be located in
the new Mobilehome Park Zone and may not be approved by
a CUP. The deletion of the CUP requirement is part of
the attached resolution (Exhibit "B")

The establishment of a permit process and development - s tanda r d s ^_L_~_--I--II-~- I--___- -.
A discretionary permit for development will be required in the KETIlP zone and will be based on a set of develop-
ment. standards established as part of the ::one. All
st?nd.ards must be met ~s listed in the RMHP zone prior
to approval of a Mobilehome Park. The Planning Cojnmis-
siGn and City Council are the revj.ew bodies for a
Mobilehome Park Permit.
The establishment of requirements for removal of the - zone and for conversion of -- parks-to different Forins of
owners hip
---I_--
----- --
As proposed, conversion of Mobilehome Uses to other
Uses would require the removal of the zone and satis-.
fact.orily meeting filldings relating to tenant notifi-
cation, general plan consistency and mitigation mea-
sures to impacted tenants.
The establishment of reauirements for conversion of - rental units to ownership units.
The proposed ordinance provides for the meeting of specif i.c findings prior to the conversion of rental
units to owncrship units. The findings relate to
tenant notification, general plan consistency and the
ri’ght of purchase to the existing tenants.
As an attachment to this report, (Exhibit “C”) the
Planning Commission will find a mei-iiorandum from lilary
Casler the Committee Representative from City Councll
which indicates suggested modifications to the proposed
ordinance. Also attached for Planning Commission
review is a letter submitted by Joe Bastone, President of Lakeshore Garden and a member of the Committee and a letter from three residents of Rzinbow Carlsbad P4obile- home park, two of which are members of the Comiittee.
Staff has reviewed the comments and has found that many
convtients over1.a~. The Planning Conmission should
consider these comments in their approval of this
ordiance. StaEf is recommending that the Planning Commission adopt the modifications proposed by Mary
Casler in that they best represent a concensus of the
concerns and still meet the intent of the Committee.
Stqff feels that the ordinance represents the best
compromi’se of many divergent viewpoints. Although everyone of the committee is not entirely satisfied
with all aspects of the ordinance, the committee felt
the overall ordinance was acceptable. Staff feels the
ordinance, with the suggested modifications, can be
implemented and will serve to protect the interests of
both Mobilehome Park Owners and Mobilehome Park Resi- dents.
It is 1:ecomended that the Pl'anning Commission adopt Reso- lution No. 3690 recormending nppr.=>va?- of ZCA 127 .to the City Council based on the findings co;itained therein.

members of the corcnittee Felt it uould only' be
economicblly feasible to devcl.op a rental park
of 30 acres, The sugycstion is to leave that decision to the developer, Fifteen acres is still
a sizable piece of 1znd and unuld accommodate
80 - 90 home spaces,
p.4$ 1.2G - Change wording to "Fifteen percent of the mobi'lo hoine sites may be 3"uO sq. ft. to accommodatE a 20' wide mobile home. Tho, remaining sites
