City of Santa Ana Mobile Home Parks <br />Assessment of Existing Conditions and Policy Options <br />May 21, 2019 <br />Research was also completed on mobile home ordinances in use by other jurisdictions. <br />Rent stabilization ordinances are in use in 101 local jurisdictions in California. The <br />ordinances vary among jurisdictions. Components of each of the ordinances often <br />include controls on the amount of rent increases, allowable reasons for rent increases, a <br />review process for approving rent increases, vacancy control at the time of sale of a <br />mobile home, and relocation impact studies and fees when a park closes or changes <br />use. A summary of the ordinances for seven other local jurisdictions in California is <br />provided in Attachment 5. <br />Additional information on the various components of the ordinances is provided as <br />options for City Council consideration. A comprehensive ordinance for the City of Santa <br />Ana can be prepared, with City Council direction, including one or more of the available <br />tools. A draft "urgency" ordinance declaring a 45-day moratorium on increases in rents <br />is provided in Attachment 6. A draft "standard" ordinance imposing a restriction on <br />mobile home space rental rate increases is provided in Attachment 7. <br />Finally, City staff including the Acting City Manager, City Attorney, and Community <br />Development Agency staff met with the property management company for the Bali Hi <br />Mobile Home Park. Additional background information was gathered concerning the <br />rent increases at the park. The discussion is summarized in the report section <br />"Outreach with Bali Hi Mobile Home Park and Industry Associations." The information <br />provided is from the viewpoint only of the property management company, has not been <br />verified, and may or may not represent the viewpoint of the residents. <br />3 <br />65A-6 <br />
