UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Mobilehome Chief Building Official Dale reported that a request was made by the owner of till,
Rent Orange Grove Mobilehome Estates for an amendment to our Rent Stabilization Ordinance
Stabilization to enable the mobilehome park owners to raise mobilehome space rents at time of a sale
(change of ownership) of a mobilehome. Our ordinance provides for temporary decontrol r
Of space rent for vacated spaces but does not make provisions for "roll-over" sold
in place moblehomes or sublease situations. The Redlands Mobilehome Park Rent19
dw
Review Board recommended to Council that the Ordinance (No. 1857) remain as is
through December 31, 1989.
.Rick Bessire, owner of the Orange Grove Estates, urged Council to reconsider this
request and explained in detail his reasons for the request. Marvin Lang, representing
the Lugonia Fountains Home Owners and urged Council to oppose the request. Art
Gregory explained how it is handled in the City of Riverside. Following discussion,
Council concurred to direct the City Attorney to draft an ordinance amendment which
would allow raising the rents no more than ten percent at the time of a sale with the
stipulation that this procedure be monitored for a trial period of one year.
Ordinance; Community Development Director Shaw explained that at the last Council meeting,
No. 1982, Urgency Ordinance No. 1982 to extend the development moratorium in Southeast
Redlands failed to receive the required four-fifths vote for adoption. Quick thinking
Development on the spot resulted in the hasty deletion of the urgency provisions of that proposed
Prohibition ordinance, and a revised version of the ordinance was introduced for first reading
with the understanding that a three-to-one vote would result in adoption of the
ordinance following second reading. The assumption was that a four-fifths vote
would be required to extend the moratorium with an urgency ordinance, but would
not be required if the ordinance was not adopted as an urgency measure. Subsequent
to the meeting, the City Attorney's Office has had time to carefully review Government
Code Section 65858 and finds that an extension of the development moratorium would
require; approval of four-fifths votes of the Council regardless of whether the ordinance
is adopted as an urgency ordinance. Therefore, with this new information in mind,
the ordinance as originally submitted to the Council is submitted once; again for further
consideration in light of the City Attorney's research.
Ordinance No. 1982, an extended urgency ordinance prohibiting development approvals
in southeast Redlands until adoption of the pending specific plan, was read by title
only by City Clerk Poyzer, and on motion of Councilmember DeMirjyn, seconded by
Councilmember Wormser, further reading of the ordinance text was waived. Ordinance
