Report on Mobile Homes on R-l Lots. Mike Holzmiller indicated this was a discussion item, addressing Senate Bill 1960, which goes into effect July 1, 1981. He explained that it requires that the City permit mobile homes in the R-l zone, as long as they are put on permanent foundations. He continued that the bill also allows the-City to indicate which R-l areas in the City might be more compatible for the placement of mobile homes, and also allows the City to apply similar criteria to mobile homes that would be 'applied to conventionally built houses. Mr. Holzmiller explained that Staff has come up with three options for .implementing SB 1960 and briefly covered same. Following brief discussion regarding the three options, the Commission directed Staff to set to public hearing a Zone Code Amendment to implement SB 1960, according to Option No. 3 as discussed in the staff report. PRESENTATION - SENIOR CITIZENS HOUSING Mike Holzmiller reported that the project is located at the northeast corner of Jefferson and Oak Avenue in the redevelopment area. The project will contain 48 units, and all units will be rented to senior citizens, 62 years or older. The project is being proposed under the senior citizens section of the R-P zone, which was created specifically for this type of project. He continued that under that particular section of the R-P zone, it is allowabls to increase the density over the zoning and the General Plan, up to a maximum of 75 dwelling units per acre, which is. the proposal of this particular project. That section of the ordinance allows reduced parking, and permits one (1) space for every four (4) units, which would require 12 parking spaces for this project; however, 24 are being proposed. The.ordinance also requires a conversion plan, that if the units are ever rented to anyone other than seniors, the City could require that the project be converted and meet all the regular development standards of the R-P zone. With the aid of a wall exhibit, Mr, Holzmiller pointed out some of the special features and amenities of the project. Mr. Holzmiller concluded that there are a number of unique features that are being requested in the financial packagei and this is the reason the ordinance requires City Council approval, rather than Planning Commission approval. They are requesting the waiver of some fees, and are asking for participation in the acquisition of the lot. The City has filed a request with the County to get some block grant funds to help acquire the property. As soon as all agreements are together, it will be scheduled for a public hearing at the Council level.
