To reiterate what has been said in correspondence and litigation, this Firm and its Client never said the City could not pass rent control. In fact, has stated the opposite in court pleadings and to the City. The request has been to engage in consultation with all interested parties, not just renters, and to pass rent control that complies with State and Federal Laws including the related regulations and the cases arising from said statutes and regulations, specifically related to mobilehome owners/space renters and mobilehome park owners. Additionally, rental owners and organizations representing rental owners, including Kingsley Management Corporation, have requested to meet and discuss the issues to arrive at a fair, balanced, and legal program for all — renters and rental property owners. The staff report for these two agenda items 26 and 27 do not provide additional substantive factual or legal information to support the amendment to Ordinance No. 3027 to distinguish this Staff Report from the Staff Reports of October 3, 2023 and October 17, 2023; therefore, the Opposition to agenda items 26 and 27 include all Opposition submitted to the October 3, 2023 agenda item 16 • Carlsbad • California • 92009 T: • Direct: • www.loftinbedell.com •
