File Number: 19-106 <br />affordable housing resource for San Leandro’s seniors and low-income households <br />(Policy 56.08). <br />2.Mobile Home Rent Stabilization. Consider adopting a mobile home rent <br />stabilization ordinance similar to the agreement currently in effect for Mission Bay <br />(Action 56.08-B) (The agreement would apply more broadly to residents of all <br />mobile home parks in the city and help protect the city’s existing supply of mobile <br />homes.); and <br />WHEREAS, it is often difficult to move mobilehomes from one park to another due to the <br />age and condition of some mobilehomes and the limited availability of vacant spaces in <br />mobilehome parks; and <br />WHEREAS, it is often costly to move a mobilehome and, in many instances, moving a <br />mobilehome requires separation of the mobilehome from its appurtenances, which may create <br />severe damage and depreciation in value to the mobilehome; and <br />WHEREAS, the U.S. District Court of the Central District of California observed that “the <br />park owners are business people who understand that the operation of a mobilehome park <br />involves an economic relationship in which both park owner and the home owner must make a <br />substantial investment. Indeed, they have encouraged the tenants to make the investment and to <br />expect a return on it.” (Adamson Companies v. County of Malibu, 854 F.Supp. 1476, 1489 <br />(1994, U.S.Dist. Ct., Central Dist. California).) <br />NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of San Leandro does ORDAIN as <br />follows: <br />SECTION 1.AMENDMENT OF CODE.
