Ordinance No. 1421 - Mobile Home Park Develo2ment E2aulations
The Planning Commission, in its session of October 13, 1970, considered
Amendment No. 95 to Ordinance No. 1000 which establishes requirements
for development of mobile home parks . The Planning Commission did not
approve this amendment and so made no recommendation to Council. At
this time Council is considering Ordinance No. 1421, an ordinance of the
City of Redlands amending ordinance 1000 by the adoption of Mobile Home
Park Development Regulations . Council discussed many, many facets of
the advantages and disadvantages of having additional mobile home parks
in the City of Redlands.
Councilman DeMirjyn suggested the possibility of a twenty-year condition' '
al use permit for the installation of mobile home parks in industrial
areas . In the discussion following this suggestion, it was felt that
this would not enhance the industrial development of the area and it was
stressed that industry and residences are not compatible in the same
zone. Councilman Sewall suggested limiting the percentage of total of
mobile home permits to 5% of the total number of residences in Redlands.
Councilman Knudsen pointed out the disadvantages of too many mobile
homes in a community, citing Hemet and Yucaipa as examples. Director of
Planning Schindler answered questions and reported on a comparison study
between apartment dwellings and mobile homes. He was of the opinion
that they were quite similar in their contributions to and demands upon
a city.
Mayor Cummings asked if there were anyone present in the audience who
cared to add somethina to this discusqion - Mr`_ TnP 'Rnn;4r1im;4n _ riWil
