City's residents ability to be heard on Community Services issues.
Councilmember Carchio thanked Councilmember Shaw for amending the recommended action

21. Submitted by Councilmember Katapodis — Directed the City Attorney to Draft
Moratorium Ordinance to Prevent Senior Mobilehome Parks Form Becoming Family
Parks and Establish Senior Mobilehome Park Overlay District for Consideration
Councilmember Katapodis acknowledged the various public speakers regarding the matter this
evening and encouraged the support and protection of seniors in the community.
In response to Mayor Pro Tern Harper's inquiries regarding value of units at mobile home parks,
City Attorney McGrath reported that they are market -driven. She added that if the park is a
senior park, homeowners would have to sell to seniors and that removal of the unit would be
another option available.
Mayor Pro Tern Harper expressed concerns regarding "over -reach" of government into the daily
lives of citizens and using the City as a tool to dictate to property owners. He felt that the first
Council/ PFA Regular Minutes
Successor Agency Special Minutes

point of contact forresidents should be mobile home park property owners and then the Mobile
Home Advisory Board.
Councilmember Katapodis reported that they have approached owners and the owners have
indicated they have no problem in maintaining the senior park. He added that this solidifies the
issue with an ordinance that will support the City's seniors.
In response to an inquiry from Councilmember Shaw, it was noted that mobile home parks are
not counted as part of the senior housing mandatory requirement because the State does not
allow the City to use those numbers.
Councilmember Shaw felt that the matter is timely and commended Councilmember Katapodis
for bringing the matter forward.
Councilmember Carchio felt that the issue is just scratching the surface and does not address
what seniors really need. He listed many issues that should be considered by the Mobile Home
Advisory Board for recommendations to Council. He stated the need to protect seniors, but
protect them in the right way. He felt that the matter should be heard by the Mobile Home
Advisory Board.
Councilmember Sullivan noted that the City is not placing itself in jeopardy because the process
has been followed. He stated that he will support Councilmember Katapodis's motion.
Councilmember Katapodis noted that this is a senior issue rather than a mobile home park
issue.
Councilmember Shaw felt that there is adequate time for the Mobile Home Advisory Board to
give recommendations for how the ordinance should be written.
Councilmember Carchio suggested including the Mobile Home Advisory Board in the motion.
Councilmember Shaw responded that this is an opportunity to give seniors protection, right now.
Councilmember Carchio indicated this is why the Mobile Home Advisory Board was established.
Mayor Pro Tem Harper commented on Council's opinions regarding the relevancy of the Mobile
Home Advisory Board.
Mayor Boardman indicated that she will oppose the motion and that it has nothing to do with
how she feels regarding the relevancy of the Mobile Home Advisory Board but rather because
of the need to act quickly on the matter and because this is a senior issue.
Mayor Pro Tem Harper wondered why this issue needs to be acted upon quickly.
Mayor Boardman noted that any Council Member has the right to bring items up for
consideration and that there will be further opportunity for public input as the City Attorney
brings back ordinances as well as adding consideration by the Mobile Home Advisory Board.
Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Harper, second by Councilmember Carchio to refer the item to the.

Mobile Home Advisory Board for further consideration.
The motion failed with the following roll call vote:
AYES: Harper, Carchio
NOES: Sullivan, Boardman, Shaw, Katapodis
ABSENT: Hardy
Councilmember Carchio indicated that he would support the action if the Mobile Home Advisory
Board is included in the recommended action.
Councilmember Katapodis stated that he did not think there is a need to do so as they will
consider the issue, anyway.
City Attorney McGrath suggested making it part of the motion that all three bodies will have an
opportunity to review the ordinance.
Mayor Pro Tern Harper felt that there is an ideological agenda and reiterated concerns
regarding the heavy hand of government controlling people's daily lives and property. He felt
this sends the wrong message that Council wants to decide as to how private property is used
within the City.
Councilmember Carchio noted that park owners sit on the Mobile Home Advisory Board and
they would have an opportunity to discuss the relevant issues.
Councilmember Shaw stated that Council is sending a message that it listens to the City's
residents. This, along with other matters has been the result of citizens approaching the City for
support and this is how ordinances are generated. The City is trying to protect its residents
instead of letting them fend for themselves.
Mayor Pro Tern Harper felt that Council is pursuing an agenda that is different from what the
City has projected, historically and that it is a move to the left like more liberal and left -winged
cities that have a history of trampling on private property rights. He felt that over time, the
voters of the City will not stand for it.
Mayor Boardman commented that Council is following in the footsteps of "radical" cities like
Hayward and Yucaipa in protecting an investment by senior citizens; protecting the property
rights of people who live in senior mobile home parks.
In response to Mayor Boardman's inquiry, Planning and Building Director Scott Hess reported
that it will take approximately ten months for the ordinance to return to Council for approval and
addressed the process.
Staff discussed the process and time involved in changing senior parks to family parks.
Regarding establishing a moratorium to stop property owners from converting senior parks to
family parks, City Attorney McGrath indicated that she will have to conduct further research and
draft a moratorium for Council's next meeting.
Council/ PFA Regular Minutes
Successor Agency Special Minutes

Page 20 of 23
In response to Councilmember Sullivan's inquiry, City Attorney McGrath reported that it will take
approximately three weeks to establish the findings and present the moratorium to Council. She
added that part of the findings would be the necessity to have it effective today.
In response to Mayor Pro Tem Harper's inquiry regarding Council's action on a moratorium at
this time since it is not on the agenda, City Attorney McGrath reported that it is not authorized
for action tonight so that direction will be to draft it for the next meeting.
In reply to Councilmember Carchio's inquiry regarding removal of the moratorium, City Attorney
McGrath reported that the item would have to be reconsidered after thirty days and will need to
be brought before Council after the process to extend it.
Motion by Councilmember Shaw, second by Councilmember Katapodis to direct the Planning
and Building Director and City Attorney to draft the Senior Mobile Home Park Overlay District for
consideration by the Planning Commission and the City Council, ensuring the Mobile Home
Advisory Board has an opportunity to review and give input during the process,.
Mayor Boardman offered an amendment to the motion to include direction to the City Attorney
to draft a moratorium to prevent senior mobile park owners from converting them into family
parks during the process of establishing an ordinance for consideration at the next Council
meeting.
Councilmember Shaw and Councilmember Katapodis agreed with the amendment to the
motion.
Mayor Pro Tem Harper asked that the motion be divided.
Mayor Boardman stated her desire to move on both items, together.

NOES:

22. Submitted by Councilmember Shaw - Directed the City Attorney to prepare a
Resolution requiring a minimum number of Electric Vehicle (EV) capable parking spaces
for new residential, commercial, and industrial developments
Councilmember Shaw referenced a pending Assembly Bill making EV parking spaces
mandatory in 2017 and commented on input from Southern California Edison regarding the
issue. He stated that SCE indicated that Huntington Beach is known as "first adopters" and
commented on the importance of having charging stations in the City. The resolution will not
require the charging stations to be built, but will require the installation of wiring for future
development of charging stations.
Mayor Pro Tem Harper felt that this is another proposal to expand the role of government into
people's daily lives, that it is not market -driven, is City -mandated and is the heavy hand of
government intruding into citizen's daily lives and property. He suggested that the City is

creeping toward socialism.
Councilmember Sullivan requested clarification from a previous public speaker, Mark Bixby. In
response to his inquiry, Mr. Bixby affirmed that the matter is supported by the Building Industry
Association (BIA). Mr. Bixby added the he doesn't consider them to be a big proponent of
socialist ideas.
Councilmember Carchio reported checking with many developers who were happy about the
issue because it would make it easier and a lot less expensive if this was accomplished in the
beginning rather than later in a development. Therefore, he reported that he will support the
recommendation.
Mayor Boardman stated this is an opportunity to offer an important amenity for the residents of
Huntington Beach as well as developers trying to attract high -end renters.
A motion was made by Councilmember Shaw, second by Councilmember Carchio to direct the
City Attorney to prepare a Resolution that requires a minimum number of EV-capable parking
spaces (wiring only) for both new residential, commercial, and industrial developments.

23. Submitted by Councilmember Carchio - Established a Downtown Public Safety and
Residential Quality of Life Task Force
Councilmember Carchio presented the matter, referenced a former Downtown Image
Committee which focused on improving the environment in the area and developed
recommendations many of which have been successfully implemented. He felt that the
proposed task force would ensure continuation of improvements in the downtown area.
In response to Mayor Pro Tern Harper's inquiry, Councilmember Carchio indicated that he would
hope that the Task Force would complete their study in three or four months.
Mayor Pro Tern Harper felt that what is really needed in terms of policy is the ability to measure
what is done. If things are constantly changing, it will be difficult to determine which policy has
had an impact or not. He indicated that he will support the matter.
Councilmember Sullivan felt that there is not enough resident representation within the
proposed Task Force and suggested increasing the number.
Councilmember Carchio felt that if the right four people are appointed, this will get done easier
and faster.
Mayor Boardman suggested changing the number of representatives to five (5) to obtain an odd
number in the number of members on the Task Force. Councilmember Carchio agreed.
