RE: San Marcos, California (18 Mobile Home Parks, 3,558 Spaces)
Wed, Jul 8, 2026 – The San Marcos Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of an overlay zone ordinance that will preserve existing senior mobile home parks by prohibiting their conversion into all-ages parks.
Senior mobile home parks are defined as those where at least 80% of spaces are occupied by individuals 55 years of age or older. The overlay zone reviewed by the Planning Commission on Monday would require that seven parks in the city maintain this ratio of at least 80%, and that park owners within the overlay zone submit annual compliance certifications to the city.
The proposed overlay zone has been in the works for about one and a half years in response to concerns that low-cost senior housing would be lost if senior parks began accepting residents of all ages.
The overlay zone ordinance will now go to the City Council for final approval. If approved, it would apply to seven of the city’s 12 senior mobile home parks, excluding those where residents own the land on which their homes are located.
The seven parks are El Dorado Mobilehome Park, Lakeview Mobile Estates, Palomar Estates East, Palomar Estates West, Rancho Vallecitos Mobile Estates, San Marcos Mobile Estates, and Valle Verde Estates.
Wed, Jan 15, 2025 – The San Marcos City Council has extended a moratorium prohibiting the conversion of senior mobile home parks into all-ages communities through the end of the year as officials work toward a permanent solution.
The decision on Tuesday night extends an initial 45-day moratorium via an urgency ordinance adopted by the council in December, rising from concerns about Lakeview Mobile Estates, a senior park for ages 55 and older off Discovery Street, possibly being converted into an all-ages park without proper notice.
San Marcos has 12 senior mobile home parks, which are defined as parks where at least 80% of spaces are occupied by people 55 years of age or older.
Western representative Julie Paulie said the city is infringing on the rights of park owners and unfairly keeping younger families out of affordable parks. She also said the city did not perform outreach to other mobile home parks besides Lakeview.
RE: San Marcos, California (18 Mobile Home Parks, 3,558 Spaces) / Dowdall Law Offices
Fri, Dec 6, 2024 – The San Marcos City Council enacted a 45-day moratorium this week to prevent mobile home park owners from altering age requirements at senior-only parks, protecting senior housing in the city.
City leaders adopted the ordinance on Tuesday night in response to a situation at Lakeview Mobile Estates, one of 12 senior mobile home parks in the city. The park rents to those 55 and older.
In July, park owners distributed a notice to residents with updated rules and regulations, stating that ownership reserves the right to change the park to an all-ages park at any time.
According to the City Attorney’s Office, this raised concerns about the city losing its ability to provide safe and decent housing opportunities to seniors.
In October, the City Attorney’s Office reached out to Lakeview for clarification regarding its intent and planned timeline to change age requirements. Dowdall Law Offices, a law firm representing the park owners, did not clarify and argued that the city has no jurisdiction in this matter and ‘may not force owners to provide ‘older persons’ housing’

RE: Santa Maria, California
Thu, Jul 2, 2026 – The Santa Maria Planning Commission unanimously approved a zoning change to create a Senior Mobile Home Park Overlay District Wednesday, ensuring that mobile homes remain a viable affordable housing option for local seniors.
The change institutes rules and carves out local enforcement powers around age-restricted communities, 55 years of age or older, protecting them from unapproved conversion to all ages facilities.
The overlay district is similar to other efforts in California, including zoning rules in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties, to dedicate certain portions of the land use map to accessible affordable-housing for seniors, while creating a City review and enforcement mechanism.
Impacting the existing five age-restricted mobile home parks in Santa Maria, the new ordinance would require that 80% of mobile homes in the parks be occupied by someone over the age of 55.
RE: California / Mobilehome Residency Law (MRL) / GSMOL
Fri, Jan 2, 2026 – The MHPHOA HTML and the GSMOL PDF versions of the 2026 California Mobilehome Residency Law have been updated to reflect all changes for the 2026 year.
Division 2, Part 2, Chap. 2.5 of the Civil Code. The Mobilehome Residency Law (MRL) is the “landlord-tenant law” for mobilehome parks, which, like landlord-tenant law and other Civil Code provisions, are enforced in a court of law. The Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) does not have authority to enforce violations of the MRL.
