Mon, Jan 29, 2018 Updates – On Fri, Jan 26, 2018 the City of Santa Clarita established the Senior Mobilehome Park Overlay Zone. Its purpose is intended to preserve the maintenance and viability of existing senior mobilehome parks.

17.38.085 SMHP – Senior Mobilehome Park Overlay Zone.

1. Purpose. The senior mobilehome park (SMHP) overlay zone is intended to preserve the maintenance and viability of existing senior mobilehome parks consistent with the City’s goal of meeting the housing needs of senior residents at a standard consistent with the preservation of the public health, safety and welfare. The SMHP overlay zone is intended to limit the conversion of existing senior mobilehome parks to other land uses. Prior to the adoption of the SMHP overlay zone, the City Council adopted a moratorium on the conversion of senior mobilehome parks to all-ages parks and required the senior mobilehome parks to maintain eighty percent (80%) senior occupancy. The moratorium ran from January 26, 2016, to January 26, 2018. Although the General Plan does not designate mobilehome parks as a separate land use designation, the SMHP overlay zone is consistent with the urban residential, non-urban, and commercial land use designations of the General Plan.

2. Definitions. The following definitions shall apply in this section:

   “Senior” means a person who is fifty-five (55) years of age or older.

   “Senior mobilehome park” means a mobilehome park in which at least eighty percent (80%) of the spaces are occupied by, or intended for occupancy by, at least one (1) senior.

3. Location. The City conducted surveys of each of the parks designated as a senior mobilehome park and verified that at least eighty percent (80%) of each park’s occupied spaces are occupied by at least one (1) senior. The following are designated as senior mobilehome parks:

   • Canyon Palms Mobilehome Park
     18323 Soledad Canyon Road
     Santa Clarita, California 91387
     APN’s 2844-003-088, 2844-003-012, 2844-003-013
   • Greenbrier Mobile Estates
     21301 Soledad Canyon Road
     Santa Clarita, California 91351
     APN’s 2849-021-018, 2849-021-019, 2849-024-034
   • Sierra Mobile Home Park
     18204 Soledad Canyon Road
     Santa Clarita, California 91387
     APN’s 2844-001-070, 2844-001-071

4. Land Use Regulations. At least eighty percent (80%) of the spaces in senior mobilehome parks must be occupied by, or intended for occupancy by, at least one (1) senior. If a park designated as a senior mobilehome park in subsection (C) of this section met this qualification as of January 26, 2016, the senior mobilehome park overlay zone shall be applied to that mobilehome park, and that park shall be required to operate as a senior mobilehome park. Furthermore, from and after the effective date of the ordinance codified in this section, senior mobilehome parks are required to issue new leases only when at least one (1) occupant of the space is a senior, except that once ninety percent (90%) of the spaces are occupied by at least one (1) senior, the remaining spaces may be rented to non-seniors. If the occupants of a space who do not meet this requirement rented the space before the effective date of the ordinance codified in this section, they shall be allowed to remain. When such occupants cease to occupy a space, the space must thereafter be rented as set forth in this section.

   The signage, advertising, park rules and regulations, and leases for spaces in senior mobilehome parks shall state the park is a senior park.

5. Notification of New Leases and Biennial Verification of Occupancy. The City will conduct a biennial verification of the occupancy of each senior mobilehome park to confirm its status as senior mobilehome park. Each senior mobilehome park shall maintain occupancy consistent with the requirements of subsection (D) of this section. The park owner shall provide notice to the City when a new lease is signed and shall certify that the lease complies with the requirements of subsection (D) of this section. Each senior mobilehome park shall have procedures in place to document the percentage of occupied spaces that have at least one (1) senior. The park owner shall provide an affidavit demonstrating compliance with this documentation requirement upon request by the City.
6. Violation. Failure to comply with the requirements of this section shall constitute a violation of this code, subject to enforcement in the manner and form provided for in the Santa Clarita Municipal Code. (Ord. 18-1 § 5 (Exh. B), 1/9/18)
