BY AMENDING SUBSECTION (b) OF SECTION 9270. 5
RELATING TO STANDARDS FOR RELOCATION ASSIS-
TANCE FOR MOBILEHOME OWNERS
The City Council of the City of Huntington Beach does
ordain as follows :
SECTION 1. The Huntington Beach Ordinance Code is hereby
amended by amending subsection (b) of Section 9270.5 to read
as follows :
9270. 5 RELOCATION ASSISTANCE PLAN. STANDARDS. The fol-
lowing shall constitute minimum standards for an acceptable re-
location assistance plan
(a) All eligible mobilehome owners shall be entitled to
receive the cost of relocation. Those costs shall be limited to
disconnection and breakdown of the mobilehome, transportation
of the mobilehome, all readily movable appurtenances and con-
tents to another mobilehome park and the cost of all hookups at
the new site . All such expenses shall be identified and paid
by the applicant at the time of the move. The park to which
the unit is relocated shall be within fifty (50) miles of the
city. If the mobilehome owner desires relocation beyond fifty
(50) miles , the mobilehome owner shall be responsible for the
costs associated with relocation beyond the fifty (50) mile
limit established by this article.
(b) If the mobilehome owner cannot be relocated to another
park in accordance with the procedures herein, the applicant
shall purchase the mobilehome and any optional equipment and/or
tag-a-longs and expando rooms from the mobilehome owner at an
amount to be determined after establishing the mobilehome owner' s
original purchase price, and the date of original purchase .
Where proof of purchase is not available or verifiable,
and the manufacturer's original list price cannot be ascertained,
the value of the mobilehome shall be determined by averaging
the sales price of the three (3) most comparable units of similar
age, size, and quality found in the applicant ' s mobilehome park
at the time the mobilehome owner purchased the site .
ahb
5/3/84 1.
When the original price is ascertained, the amount
of compensation to be paid by an applicant to a mobilehome
owner shall be determined by using the following method:
Mobilehomes shall be depreciated at a rate of 4. 7
percent per year, beginning with the date the mobilehome owner
originally purchased the mobilehome and/or optional equipment
and continuing until the date of issuance by the applicant of
the Notice of Intent to Change Use.
The applicant may grant one (1) six-month extension
to the length of time given to the mobilehome owners in the
Notice of Intent to Change Use by notifying the mobilehome
owners of such extension at least four (4 ) months prior to the
date specified in such notice. The extension shall be granted
for no more and no less than six (6) months.
An applicant may, with the consent of the mobilehome
owner, transfer a mobilehome unit to another space in the park.
Such transfer shall not constitute permanent relocation, and
the cost of all such moves shall be borne by the applicant .
The mobilehome owner' s compensation for any mobile-
home that cannot be relocated to any other park shall be no
less than four thousand five hundred dollars ($4,500) plus
moving expenses up to five hundred dollars ($500) , an aggregate
not to exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000) .
In order to reduce the impact of relocation to alter-
native housing further, the applicant shall pay a cost of
housing differential of 50 percent of the increase in the cost
of housing for the first year, not to exceed seven hundred fifty
dollars ($750) for each mobilehome owner.
(.c ) If the mobilehome owner cannot be relocated in accord-
ance with the procedures contained herein, the applicant has the
option of making available suitable alternative housing, to-
gether with compensation, to such mobilehome owner.
Where alternative housing is proposed, it shall be
available in the following categories :
(aa) Senior citizen housing;
(bb) Affordable housing; and
(cc ) Market rate housing.
(d) Any applicant and mobilehome owner may mutually agree
to modify the standards and methods contained in this section,
and in no case shall an applicant be required to relocate or
2 .
purchase a mobilehome prior to the date of the Notice of Intent
to Change Use.
(e) Appeals from the amount of compensation to be given a
mobilehome owner shall be filed with the applicant within thirty
(30) days after the mobilehome owner has notice of the amount he
is to receive.
The applicant shall acknowledge any appeal within
thirty (30) days, and if an agreement cannot be reached, the
matter shall be referred to a professional arbitrator.
(f) To determine whether compensation accurately reflects
the original cost of the mobilehome, the applicant and/or pro-
fessional arbitrator shall rely on records furnished by the
mobilehome owner, or if such records are not available, the mo-
bilehome shall be subjected to the comparison test set out else-
where in this section. All optional equipment and appurtenances
shall be valued in the same manner.
(g) That the mobilehome owners have received written
guarantee of first-right-of-refusal to purchase units if the
development which replaces the mobilehome park is to be resi-
dential in whole or in part .
(h) That the applicant has complied with all applicable
city ordinances and state regulations in effect at the time the
relocation assistance plan was approved.
(i) That the applicant has complied with the conditions
of approval, including the following items:
(i) Mobilehome owners will not be forced to relo-
cate prior to the end of their leases .
(ii) Mobilehome owners have been given the right to
terminate their leases upon approval of the relocation
assistance plan.
(iii) Demolition or construction will not occur
until the relocation assistance plan is approved and the

after its passage.
