PC Minutes October22, 2002 Page 2 Questions/comments included: ■ Lack of input from the Huntington Beach Mobile Home Advisory Board (vote failure for subcommittee establishment/recommendation) ■ Fair market value for mobile homes ■ Suggested revisions to language in the legislative draft for Chapter 234 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED: Steve Gullage, Newland Avenue, Huntington Beach, spoke in opposition to the item, stating that mobile home park conversions are the equivalent of a park owner's version of eminent domain. He suggested that mobile home owners should be entitled to the full market value of their structure. He discussed comparative market value and voiced concerns about compensation for relocation, including structural damages that result from such. Vickie Talley, Manufactured Housing Education Trust, spoke to the Commission about the suggested language modifications being technical in nature, and that the ordinance should not be taken lightly. She suggested that the fair market value figures need further study, explaining that the figures apply to structures only and do not include the land they rest on. She pointed out that buyers buy for location, and that mobile home owners are not guaranteed land rights. WITH NO ONE ELSE PRESENT TO SPEAK, THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Discussion ensued regarding compensation for relocation. The Commission inquired about the legal consequences behind continuing the item without action. Staff explained that the current ordinance is not in compliance with state law. A MOTION WAS MADE BY LIVENGOOD, SECONDED BY HARDY, TO APPROVE ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 01-03 WITH FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL AND FORWARD THE DRAFT ORDINANCE TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR ADOPTION. Discussion ensued regarding postponing action on the item to allow further time for study, and input from the Huntington Beach Mobile Home Advisory Board.
