OF LUT SECTION 7.17 OF THE CHULA VISTA GENERAL
PLAN
WHEREAS, General Plan Section 7.17 - Evaluation of Mobilehome Developments —

Broadway, Caravan, Flamingo, Fogerty Brothers, Mohawk, Rose Arbor, and Trailer Villa; and
WHEREAS, the Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed action for
compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that

public hearing held at a time and place advertised, namely 6:00 pm on August 27, 2014, in the

WHEREAS, the hearing was held at the time and place as advertised, namely 2:00 p.m.
on August 27, 2014, in the Council Chambers located at 276 Fourth Avenue, and said hearing

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE City Council hereby finds and
determines as follows:
Attachment 2
That the proposed change in use and/or rezoning will not adversely affect attainment of
the city's goal to provide a variety of housing options within the City,
The City's General Plan land use designation for the sites subject to this action include:
mixed use residential, mixed use Commercial co urban _
residential, and transit focus area. The rezoning would result in the existing t oning to be
brought into conformance with the General Plan.
The proposed rezone will not adversely affect the City's housing goals since the rezoning
of the properties will allow on most parcels for multi - family development and help
achieve the City's goal of achieving a variety of housing types. This will help achieve the
goal of General Plan Policy LUT 1.9, which is to provide opportunities for development
of housing that respond to diverse community needs in terms of density, size, location
and cost. Multifamily allows for either rental or condominium units to be developed on
the site. This would help achieve the City's General Plan policy of achieving a variety of
housing options.
Policy LUT 1.19 requires that land use intensities be evaluated in conjunction with any
zone change and /or General Plan Amendment to permit density or modify intensity.
Factors to be considered include, but are not limited to, the maximum intensity allowed
for the applicable land use designation in the General Plan, traffic circulation patterns,
environmental constraints, and compatibility with surrounding land uses.
The proposed Change of use and /or rezoning is supported by sound planning principles,
and higher density, affordable replacement housing within the city will remain in
sufficient supply.
The General Plan designation for most of the sites calls for multi- family development at a
gross density range up to 28 -60 dwelling units per gross acre, a higher density than is
typical for a trailer park type development. Thus, the proposed zoning is consistent with
the City's desire for higher density development in the area.
Since the proposed zoning will allow for multi- family housing consistent with the urban
core; mixed uses residential; and transit focus area higher residential density designations
of the General Plan, it will provide for more affordable housing units than other types of
residential development. Future development of the sites will provide housing
opportunities to many in the form of affordable rental or ownership units.
That the proposed change of use /and rezoning will not result in severe or undue hardship
on any affected mobilehome resident.
State laws govern the closure procedure for mobilehome and trailer parks upon
conversion, closure, or cessation of use and allows local implementing agencies to either
implement this law on a case by case basis or codify Supplemental requirements. In
1989, the City of Chula Vista adopted Chula Vista Municipal Code (CVMC) Chapter
9.40 to implement state law and provide supplemental requirements, specifically
Attachment 2
outlining the items required in a Relocation Plan and defining "reasonable costs of
relocation" through the identification of financial benefits upon displacement,
Although the zoning regulations that are being proposed to implement the General Plan
will change the current zones, this will not require trailer parks to close. These trailer
parks have operated for several decades under a commercial or higher residential zone
designation. Those designations give owners the opportunity to redevelop their sites for
another use at any time, which will not change under the proposed rezonings. Any
changes to the use of the land such as new development must be requested by park
owners, and go through an extensive public review and public hearing process, per the
requirements of Chapter 9.40 to ensure there is not severe or undue hardship on affected
residents at the time of an actual closing.
That the property owner an&or project proponent plan complies with applicable City
and state mobile home park conversion and relocation regulations, and prior tot e
commencement of any closure of the mobilehome development, that the property
owner(s) will prepare and ensure conformance of a detailed closure and relocation plan
consistent with the requirements of CVMC Section 9-40 and applicable state regulations,
and to the satisfaction of Development Services Director.
In accordance with the above, any proposed closure of a trailer park Would need to
comply with both local and state laws pertaining to park closures. The process under
Chapter 9.40 would adequately address the property owner or project proponent's
compliance with applicable laws.
That prior to the commencement of any closure of the mobilehome development, that the
property owners) will prepare and ensure conformance of a detailed closure and
relocation plan consistent with the requirements of CVMC Section 9.40 and applicable
state regulations, and to the satisfaction of Development Services Director.
The specific requirement to prepare and ensure conformance of a detailed closure and
relocation plan "prior to the commencement of any closure" is a requirement under
Chapter 9.40.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE City Council hereby finds that the rezoning
of the subject properties complies with the provisions of LUT Section 7.17 of the Chula Vista
General Plan.
