Honorable Mayor and City Council Persons City of Santa Ana Hearing: October 5, 2021; Item: Consent Calendar 9 October 1, 2021 Page 4 of 4 2. The legal citations forming a purported Finding for the implementation of this Ordinance do not apply to mobilehome parks. 3. The general statements that: residents have complained do not make sense. If the residents were willing to go to hearings or other forums, then the fear is questionable because the landlords would know of the complaints at hearings. If there were actual issues, then a referral to code enforcement and/or nonprofit legal assistance are available to residents, Council and staff. This issue is stated only to emphasize the practice of gross generalization of some Findings and Statements, (Section I.J.) 4. Div. Sec. 8 (i) re -characterizes the "sale" of a mobilehome park as a change of use and requires a replacement and relocation plan to be prepared. This means that if mobilehome park owner "A" wants to sell to mobilehome park owner `B", prior to the sale a replacement and relocation plan with all the requirements of Government Code section. 65863.7 (applicable to conversion to another use, e.g., commercial use or closure of a park). The cost is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. The impact is either forcing an owner to retain ownership indefinitely or close the Park since the costs related to the sale would be the same as a Park closure. There is no factual or legal Finding that supports a redefinition of "change of use" or such a restriction on the sale of a mobilehome from one mobilehome park owner to another. The above does not purport to list all of the deficiencies and misrepresentations of facts and law contained in both the Rent Stabilization and the Just Cause Eviction Ordinances Findings and Provisions. As stated above, all legal rights and remedies based upon all deficiencies of these Ordinances is reserved on behalf of our clients. Based on the incorporated Dowdall letter, the objections with factual information presented by the various other Rental Properties and testimony in and from the record, all incorporated hereat, and the objections above, the request 1s to VOTE NO. Sincerely; LOFTIN I BEDELL P.C. By: L. Sue'Loftin, Esq. cc: Clients Kingsley — 426 Santa Ana Cadivauces
