Residents of the 150-unit Vista Diablo Mobile Estates packed the council chamber, fearful that their rents might spiral and quality of life suffer once the owners’ 10-year agreement to preserve the facility as a predominantly senior community expires in October.
Because it appears that the vast majority of Vista Diablo Mobile Estates’ residents are seniors, council members responded to their impassioned pleas by unanimously agreeing to consider adopting an urgency ordinance at their July 11 meeting.

Residents of the Starlight Mobile Home Park and Greenfield Mobile Home Estates will have their first chance this week to question public officials since the testing of 17 initial homes.

What Types of Complaints can be Submitted for Consideration?
