Administrator's Review/Recommendation: -No Comments to supplement this report -Comments attached. Explanation/Summary(attach supplement sheets as necessary) Summary: The City Attorney's Office has prepared the attached ordinance which would establish certain requirements if an owner of a manufactured home park elects to close part or all of the park. These requirements include: • Park owner shall prepare a closure statement,addressing the availability,location and potential costs of adequate replacement housing within a 25 mile radius of the park. • Park owner shall provide notice and the closure statement to residents at least nine months prior to closure. • Notice and closure statement shall be submitted to Planning Commission;Planning Commission shall request City ID Council to schedule a public hearing. City Council shall conduct a public hearing with notice to residents at least 10 days prior Park owner shall pay reasonable costs of relocating each resident's manufactured home to another manufactured home park within 25 mile radius,or an amount equal to the estimated market value of the manufactured home. • Total compensation is limited to 20%of the purchase price of the park or its market value,as determined by the County Assessor,whichever is greater. This ordinance was introduced for first reading at your November 25, 1996 meeting. This meeting includes a public hearing on the ordinance and consideration for adoption. Since your last meeting, the City Attorney has made some revisions to the ordinance regarding the definition of"displaced resident" and inserted"displaced" in front of each reference to"resident" in the ordinance so it matches the term used in the definitions. The changes to the definition would assure that compensation would go to an manufactured home owner, whether they were living in the home at the time of the park closing or not. We have received 2-3 telephone calls on this item. A resident of Towns Edge Terrace indicated that he planned to distribute notices of the hearing to each manufactured home in Towns Edge and in Colonial Village to publicize the hearing. Action on an ordinance requires a roll call vote. rilkirailk JL .
