ITEM TITLE Public hearing - Consideration of change of zone for four mobile home parks,
located at 345 "C" Street, 1100 Industrial Boulevard, 1425 Second Avenue
and 1925 Otay Lakes Road, to MHP zone
SUBMITTED BY Director of Planning
ITEM EXPLANATION (4/5TH'S VOTE REQUIRED YES NO X)
A. BACKGROUND
1 . On November 29, 1978 the City Council adonted Ordinance No. 1345 establishing
the MHP (mobile home park) zone. The primary purpose of the MHP zone is to provide
appropriate locations where mobile home parks may be established and maintained. The
secondary purpose of the zone is to insure that the land zoned MHP may not be used for
another land use unless the City Council deems it desirable to rezone the land.
With the increasing demand for condominium units and the fact that most mobile
home parks in Chula Vista carry a zoning in which condominiums can be built, coupled
with the lack of mobile home space, m�ny residents of mobile home parks are fearful that
their parks will be redeveloped with condominiums and they will have no place to relocate
their units. This anxiety is int�nsified by the fact that the newer mobile home parks
frequently prohibit the older coach units from locating in the new parks.
It is because of the secondary purpose that the City has elected to consider
the r�zoning of certain mo�ile home parks to establish the MHP zone on the properties.
2. Since the proposed rezonings will not result in any physical change, they are
not considered "projects" under CEQA and are therefore not subject to environrnental review.
B. DISCUSSION
1 . There are presently 19 mobile home parks located within the city limits: Staff
considered it appropriate to take action on 4 of the larger parks at this time v�ith others
to be considered subsequently. Table I, following, is a brief description of each of
the 4 mobile home parks:

2. Except for the Otay Lakes Lodge, the other three mobile home parks under
consideration have recently been rezoned from R-3 to a less dense R-3 zone (June, 1978) .
In addition the "M" Mobile Home Park h1odifying District was attached to each site. The
attachment of the "M" Modifying District recognized the existing land use, however, the
"M" District allows the property to be redeveloped in accordance with the underlying
"R" zone. Economics and the age of mobile home parks makes the possibility greater
each year that the mobile homes will be phased out and redeveloped with another type of
land use. Rezoning the properties to the new MHP zone cannot insure that the mobile
home parks will remain indefin�tely, but it does afford the Council some discretion in
the matter, as redevelopment tt�1tl1 some other use could occur only if Council rezones the
property to some other category.
3. While redevelopment of the Otay Lakes Lodge mobilehc�me park is unlikely in the
near futur�, it too should be preserved by the establishment of the MHP zone on the
property.

RESOLUTION NQ� PCZ-79-E(1 )
RcSOLUTIOW OF THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDING TO
THE CITY COUNCIL THE C��X�JGE OF ZONE FOR 12,33 ACRES AT

WNEREAS, Ordinance No. 1845, adopted by the City Council on November 28,
7978, established the MH� (mobile home park) zone, and
WHEREAS, it was deemed expedient to consider designating various mobile
t�ume park s7 tes tn �.��� f�HP zoi�e, and
4�ltlER�AS, th� �roposed rez��r�ings will not result in any physical changeg and
a�^e �ot consid�►�e� "p��ojects" unaer CEQA and ther2fore not subject to environmental
r�vi�w, and '
WHER�AS, thF �ity Planning Commission set the time and place fQr a hearing
on said zore chan�e, and no�ice of said hearing, tageLher with its �urpose, was
given by the public:atian in a newspaper of general circulation in the City a'� least
i0 �iays prior to �o7e date of said hearing, and
WHERtAS, a hear�ing was held at the time and plac� as advertised, name�y
7:00 ;�.m. , Februar,y 14, 1979, in the City Council Chambers before the Plann�if��
Commissi�n and sa�d hearing was thereafter closed.
NOW, THEREFORE:9 BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
� 1 . From facts presented to the Commission, the Commission finds tha�:
public necessity9 �onvenience, general welfare and good zoning pract��e reaU;r�e
the change of zone from R-�--�-�Ni-F to MHP for approximately 12.33 acres5 loca��ed
at 345 "C" Street and developed as the Travelodge mobile home park.
2. The findings of fact in suppnrt of said determination are a�: follo�:as:
a. The establishment of the MHP zone on the subject site recogniz�s
the existing land use and will require further Council action in
order to approve a change in land use.
b. The General Plan designates the site as Residential , 13-26 DU/acre;
the MfiP zone does not specify a density so there is no conflict
between the zone and the General P1an.
3. The Planning Commission recommends to the City Council that said change
of zone be granted.
4. That this r�solution be transmitted to the City Council and a copy be
transmitted to the owner of the property.
