The Planning Commission added change number 5 above becau wanted to protect against a mobile home park becoming "run-6 after it was converted to a condominium. With regard t waiver of the tentative and final map, the state subdivisic act permits this for mobile home parks if the City complementary ordinances. This amendment now permits the Cj execute a waiver.
Originally, staff had thought about having these provisions only to parks with 50 units or more. Based on advise frc Attorney's office that stipulation has been removed. For fL information please see the attached staff report to the P1z Commission.
Part I1 - Exemption From Chapter 21.90
The second part of this zone code amendment would exempl conversion of mobile home parks to condominiums from Ch 21.90 (Growth Management Ordinance). Parks proposing to c under this provision could do so prior to the adoption of a Facilities Management Plan. The exemption indicates thal park would have to remain substantially the same physically did prior to conversion. Approximately four mobile home could process a conversion under this proposal. The pr reason for the exemption is to encourage individual ownersh moderate income housing as encouraged by the City's Ha Element. Planning Commission action was not necessary on portion of the amendment as Chapter 21.90 is not classified function zoning.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Planning Director has determined that this project wil cause any significant environmental impacts and, therefore issued a Negative Declaration, dated August 5, 1987. A co] the environmental documents is on file in the Pla Department.
FISCAL IMPACT
Staff time has been utilized in drafting the amendments. F City processing costs may be lowered should the tentativc final map be waived on specific projects.

DATE: AUGUST 19, 1987
TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: ZCA 87-1 CITY OF CARLSBAO - A zone code amendment
amending Title 21, Chapter 21.37 to clarify and regu
mobile home park conversions to condominiums.
I. RECOMMENDATION
Thdt the Planning Commission APPROVE the Neqative Declaratior
issued by the Planning Director and ADOPT Resolution No. 2677
recommending APPROVAL of ZCA 67-1, based on the findings
contained therein.
11. DISCUSSION
The Residential Mobile Home Park (RMHP) Zone (Section 21.37 o
the Zoning Ordinance) presently permits mobile home park
conversions and provides for the waiver of standards for exi:
mobile home parks. Staff feels that more specifics are needf
the ordinance and more protection for existing residents. Tc
correct this situation, staff is recommendinq that the Plann
Commission approve five actions. These are listed below and
individually discussed.
I) Amend Section 21.37.030 to clarify requirements for
conversion of existing mobile home parks.
2) Amend Section 21.37.120 (b) to be consistent with tl
recommended changes to Section 21.37.030 which clar
the requirements for the conversion of existing mob
home parks.
3) Amend Section 21.37.120 (d) to protect tenants agai
immediate rent increases or economic displacement.
4) Add Section 21.37.120 (e) to require relocation pla
tenants/owners not wishing to purchase interest in
converted park.
5) Add Section 21.37.130 to permit the waiver of a
tentative and final map for the condominium convers
of existing mobile home parks over 50 units on a si
parcel.

August 19, 1987
Page Two - ZCA 87-1
Amendment Nos. 1 and 2, 21.37.030 and 21.37.120(b)
The existing ordinance (RMHP zone) addresses mobile home park
conversions in two sections, 21.37.030 and section 21.37.120.
The first section indicates that mobile home parks existing
the time of ordinance adoption (1980) do not have to comply w
the regular mobile home park development standards but still
to go through the standard conversion process by obtaining a
mobile home park permit. Staff felt these sections were too
general in that they did not have any criteria to determine w
existing parks could convert. The existing ordinance also wa
development standards on all existing parks. The amendment a
proposed would only permit parks in excess of 50 units to hav
development standards waived, and only if the Planning Commis
and City Council approved such a waiver. The intent of this
amendment is to permit conversions where the residents will bi
the newly created lots, and there will be virtually no physic( change to the park. It also protects residents from being
subdivided out of the park without proper cooperation. The
amendment also allows the Planning Commission and City Counci
place minor conditions on the mobile home park permit even if
development standards are waived.
Amendment No. 3, 21.37.120(d)
This proposed addition to Section 21.37.120 was included to
protect mobile home park tenants who did not wish to particip
in either an owner or a resident-initiated conversion. The
prohibition of a rent increase or economic displacement for or
year would give the remaining tenants ample time to relocate
without being penalized. To further protect the tenants,
relocation plan requirements are also proposed and are discus: under Amendment No. 4 below.
Amendment No. 4, 21.37.120(e)
This addition to the RMHP Zone is designed to help protect
existing residents during a conversion and to maintain consistency with the provisions for conversion in the planned
development ordinance. The proposed amendment not only incluc
the provisions of the planned development ordinance but also a conditions which consider the age and condition of the mobile
home units as well as the financial cost to relocate a mobile
home unit. The inclusion of these conditions acknowledges tha
older mobile homes may be difficult or impossible to relocate.
It also recognizes that the number of mobile home parks availa
as relocation sites are limited and the cost of relocation is
high.

Amendment No. 5, 21.37.130
This proposed zone code amendment would provide for the waiver
the requirement for a tentative map and final map for a single
parcel subdivision for the condominium conversion of any exist
mobile home park of 50 units or more where the park would rema
essentially the same. Adoption of this amendment would expedi
the processing of such a subdivision and would decrease costs
both the subdivider and the City.
The State Subdivision Map Act allows individual lot ownership
in mobile home parks to occur by two methods. These include
the following:
1) Approval of a tentative map and final map,
2) Waiver of a tentative map and final map.
The second mechanism is allowed when the local jurisdiction ha
an ordinance permitting such a waiver. At this time, the City
Carlsbad does not have a provision to allow such a waiver.
Under present City regulations, the eight existing mobile home parks would be required to file a tentative subdivision map,
condominium permit, and final map in order to convert to
condominiums. This is both a lengthy and costly process,
especially if both the owner and residents are in agreement.
addition, it is unlikely that present development standards
required by the mobile home park zone could be met by any
existing mobile home park. The proposed amendment would enablf
the major mobile home parks in the City to convert to individui
ownership by waiving the tentative and final map requirement.
The proposed amendment, however, would still require a mobile
home park permit to ensure that a homeowner’s association and i
necessary conditions of approval would be established.
The proposed amendment requires the City Council to make certai
findings prior to granting the waiver of the tentative and fin:
map requirements. The finding pertaining to the displacement (
current tenants/owners is recommended to ensure that existing tenants/owners are not displaced from a mobile home park withoi further review by the City. If such displacements would occur,
the subdivider would be required to obtain a tentative and fina
subdivision map, which would enable the City to impose
appropriate conditions to mitigate the impacts of such
displacement.

The proposed amendment provides for the preparation of a Certificate of Compliance to evidence the subdivision of the property. If conditions are imposed by the City Council to
enable it to make the required findings for granting a waiver
Conditional Certificate of Compliance may be issued. The subdivider, in such a case, would be required to enter into a
improvement agreement and provide improvement security to the
City to ensure that all conditions are satisfied.
Proposed mobile home park conversions would not generate an
increased demand for public facilities and, as such, would nc
impact the Growth Management Program or the residential dwell
unit count established by the citizens' approval of Propositl
"E" in November of 1986. This program was established to en2
that public facilities would be provided concurrent with
development. Section 66451.6 of the Subidivision Map Act,
however, prohibits the City from levying any impact fees on i
mobile home park condominium conversion. The only fees permj
by the Map Act are normal processing fees. Because there is
increase in the demand for public facilities and impact fees
prohibited by the Map Act, mobile home park condominium
conversions are precluded from the fees which may be imposed
part of the growth management requirements. It should be not
that this only pertains to mobile home park condominium
conversions. The Subdivision Map Act does not restrict citic from levying impact fees on other types of condominium
conversions.
Overall, the proposed amendment will facilitate the resident-
initiated condominium conversion process for existing mobile
parks. It is consistent with both the Subdivision Map Act ar
City policies and ordinances. For these reasons, staff
recommends approval of ZCA 87-1.
