2.. Public Hearing: GPA 07-01; Proposed General Plan Amendment Mobile
Home Overlay District„
Background: Ed Batchelder, project manager, reported that one of the major focuses of
the comprehensive General Plan Update adopted in December 2005 was the need for
urban revitalization and redevelopment, particularly in western Chula Vista. The residents
raised concern over the possible displacement of existing residents when redevelopment of
some existing housing areas takes place, i e within portions of the Urban Core area. This
was of particular interest to mobilehome residents as their housing costs are often lower
than market rates for other comparable sized housing units such as rental apartments,
To ensure that special circumstances of mobilehome residents are addressed whenever a
change of use and/or rezoning is contemplated for any existing mobilehome area, the
proposed General Plan amendment would create an Overlay District encompassing all
existing mobilehome developments within the City, and require preparation of a plan of
action to address adverse effects of conversion, prior to City consideration of changes of
use and/or rezoning.
Staff Recommendation: That the Planning Commission approve the Resolution
recommending City Council approval of the proposed General Plan Amendment..
