File Number: 19-102 <br />Applicable General Plan Policies <br />·Housing Element Goal 56 Affordable Housing Conservation; Policy 56.08, Conservation of <br />Mobile Home Parks - promote the conservation and rehabilitation of mobile home parks <br />without displacing tenants or reducing the number of affordable units. Mobile home parks <br />should be recognized as an important affordable housing resource for San Leandro’s <br />seniors and low-income households. <br />·Housing Element Policy Action 56.08-A: Mobile Home Rent Stabilization - Consider <br />adopting a mobile home rent stabilization ordinance similar to the agreement currently in <br />effect for Mission Bay. (The agreement would apply more broadly to residents of all mobile <br />home parks in the city and help protect the city’s supply of mobile homes. <br />Environmental Review <br />Approval of the ordinance is exempt from further environmental review under the general rule in <br />California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) that CEQA only <br />applies to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. <br />Summary of Public Outreach Efforts <br />For tonight’s meeting and prior City Council public meetings regarding mobilehome park space <br />rent stabilization, city staff contacted the owners and/or owners’ representatives of all nine <br />Mobilehome Parks. The City also sent notices to all park residents. Staff emailed copies of the <br />notice to an ongoing interested parties email list. A notice for tonight’s meeting was also posted <br />online on Nextdoor. <br />All public comments received in writing as of the finalization of the agenda materials are included <br />with the agenda. <br />Legal Analysis <br />The proposed Ordinance was prepared by the City Attorney’s Office and staff. <br />Fiscal Impacts <br />The projected annual cost to administer the Ordinance could range from approximately $30,000 <br />to $75,000 depending on the volume of applications for review and appeals. Thus, Ordinance <br />administration could impact the General Fund should fee revenue to offset the costs not be <br />approved. The Ordinance, as proposed, does establish the options for an administrative fee <br />based on a dollar amount per each Mobilehome Space in the City pending future approval by the <br />City Council. The annual fee would cover the costs to administer the Ordinance, including city staff <br />(e.g. a Senior Housing Specialist, Project Specialist, or City Attorney time), a Rent Review <br />Officer, a Hearing Officer, and professional financial services (such as a certified public <br />accountant). Mobilehome Park Owners may pass through up to 50% of any fee approved by the <br />City to Mobilehome Owners in their parks. <br />Page 8 City of San Leandro Printed on 2/26/2019
