BACKGROUND 1 . Pursuant to instructions from the City �lanager, the Planning pepartment has studied the desirabi1ity of establishing an exclusive mobile home park zone. The Depart- ment's study indicates that a mobile park zone could protect an important housing resource in Chula Vista. The ordinance proposed in this report is intended to provide this protection. 2. The Environmental Review Coordinator conducted an Initial Study, IS-79-20, on the proposed zoning regulations and recommended that the Planning Commission find that the said regulations would not haVe a significant impact upon the environment, On October 25, 1978 the Planning Commission adopted the Negative Declaration on IS-79-20. B. ANALYSIS l . During the course of the Planning Department's "areas-in-transition" studies, the perpetuity of mobile home parks became a matter of concern. These parks, established in the R-3 zones, are an important source of housing for the senior residents and moderate income families of the Chula Vista Planning Area. 2. Staff's principal concern was founded upon the changing economic patterns of the late 1970's. While mobile home parks were formerly regarded as sound .and profitable investments, the strong housing market has placed a premium on the value of the R-3 building sites in question. It may now be profitable to discontinue some mobile home parks and to convert their lands to condominium or muitiple family dwelling use. 3. The land use conversion discussed in the preceding paragraph would create a sub- stantial housing problem for many local residents who may be least able to afford alter- native housing.

BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION On October 25, 1978, by a vote of 5-0 with one vacancy and one member absent, the Planning Commission recommended that Council adopt the proposed amendments to the zoning ordinance and repeal Sections 19.56.300 et seq. therefrom, in accordance with Resolution PCA-79-3. . ; ----- COUNCIL ACTION �J��G - !, � . --.�./ ____.___�� o� _-- 1'�� U� _ :�� .>�_ ` . � .�� _.,. ._.__r�..._,., _.�_.�... �� ; � � _, . , _a _ . ._. � l � �, 1 � ,�� T� � 4 , �, t � // �.�'—,cP . , � �.

Enactment of the MHP zonal regulations would not automatically reclassify Chula Vista's existing parks. This reclassification would require subsequent rezoning action. It is suggested that reclassification of existing sites from R-3(M) to MNP be accomplished in a careful and orderly manner in an effort to preclude or minimize private hardship. 4. Several years ago the City adopted the Mobile Home Park Modifying District which can be combined with an underlying residential district (R-1 , R-2, R-3), to allow construc- tion of a mobile home park. Said district also allows the uses which are allowed in the underlying district, so that it does not protect the existing mobile home parks from redevelopment with apartments. The advantage of the proposed Mobile Home Park District is that, in order to construct anything other than a mobile home park, a rezoning to some other district would be required. Subsequent to the adoption of the Mobile Home Park District by Council , staff would expect to initiate rezonings of various mobile home park sites within the city. 5. The regulations and criteria of the MHP zone are not retroactive. Where existing mobile home parks are reclassified "MHP", the said regulations and criteria would only govern park expansions and reorganizations, � � � � NECa�1f'IVE �E�CLARATI�N PROJECT TITLE: Mobile Home Park Zoning Text Amendment Project Location: City of Chula Vista Project Proponent: City of Chula Vista, CA CASE N0.
