There are nine (9) Mobilehome Parks in San Leandro. In the last two years, <br />there have been two Mobilehome Parks in the City that have changed ownership: Trailer Haven <br />(September 2016) and Bayshore Commons, which was formerly Estudillo Trailer Park (October <br />2017). Subsequent to the changes in ownership, city staff received anecdotal reports of <br />displacement and space rent increases. The Sandev Mobilehome Park is currently for sale. <br />On January 14, 2019, the City Council held a work session to solicit public input and review <br />potential content for a Mobilehome Space Rent Stabilization Ordinance (the “Ordinance”). City <br />staff summarized key components for an ordinance and presented comparable local ordinances. <br />The City Council provided comments and direction to staff to prepare the Ordinance. <br />Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed Ordinance, which would add Chapter <br />4-39 “Mobilehome Space Rent Stabilization” to the San Leandro Municipal Code. <br />BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS <br />The Ordinance will establish a method to review mobilehome park space rent increases, protect <br />Mobilehome Owners from arbitrary, capricious, or unreasonable rent increases, and ensure that <br />Mobilehome Park Owners, operators and/or investors receive a fair and reasonable return on <br />their investment. Below are components of the proposed Ordinance. <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 2/26/2019
