RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA AFFIRMING THE DECISION OF THE COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR TO ALLOW THE CLOSURE OF TWIN PALMS
MOBILE HOME PARK AND MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS OF FACT
DEMONSTRATING THAT THE REQUIREMENTS OF CHAPTER 9.40 OF
THE CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL CODE HAVE BEEN FULFILLED
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, Chapter 9.40 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code requires the owners
of mobilehome and trailer parks to mitigate any adverse impacts which result from
the conversion of the mobilehome or trailer park to other uses.
WHEREAS, the Chapter also gives the Community Development Director the
power to approve an application for the closure of a mobilehome or trailer park,
but his/her decision may be appealed to the City Council.
WHEREAS, the owner of Twin Palms Mobile Home Park filed an application for
closure in August of 1989, and in November of 1992, the Community Development
Director approved the application for closure.
WHEREAS, the decision of the Community Development Director to allow the
closure of Twin Palms Mobile Home Park was appealed by resident of the Park.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Council affirms the decision of the
Community Development Director to allow the closure of Twin Palms Mobile Home
Park and makes the following findings of fact which fully set forth the facts and
circumstances whereby the application for closure fulfills the requirements of
Chapter 9.40 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council finds that the Abode
Development Company, the owner of Twin Palms Trailer Park, fulfilled the
requirements of Chapter 9.40 by providing the Community Development Director a
complete application for closure which contains the following elements as
required by Chapter 9.40.030 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code:
a. A relocation plan which shall make adequate provision for the
relocation of the mobilehome or trailer owner/occupant who will be
displaced by the discontinuance of the use of the property for a
mobilehome or trailer park;
b. A profile of the existing park, including:
c. A timetable for vacating the existing park;
. d. Evidence satisfactory to the Community Development Director and the
Council that agreements satisfying the relocation assistance
requirements of Chapter 9.40 have been offered to eligible
mobilehome or trailer owner/occupants. The type of assistance

offered each eligible mobilehome or trailer owner/occupant is on
file in the Community Development Department. In two instances, the
reasonable offer was refused. In these two instances, the residents
of spaces 3 and 24 were offered spaces in other parks, and they
refused to relocate to these parks;
e. Evidence that the park owner or his representative has informed all
mobilehome or trailer owner/occupants in writing of alternative
sites available to them;
f. Evidence that the park owner or his representative has agreed to
purchase those homes of low and moderate income mobilehome or
trailer owner/occupants which are determined to be not relocatable
due to age and/or condition;
g. Chapter 9.40.030 requires that residents be provided the right of
first refusal to purchase, lease or rent any dwelling units or
mobilehome or trailer spaces which may be built on the subject
property. Because no residential units will be built on the subject
property, the park owner was not required to offer this right of
refusal; and,
h. A narrative summary of the planned new use of the property to be
converted. The planned new use is a 65,000 square foot shopping
center.
