Council delays action on mobile home park resolution
Friday, October 14, 2016 by Jack Craver
City Council Member Pio Renteria was out sick Thursday, and as a result, Council did not act on a resolution he authored to require certain amenities for mobile home parks. The resolution directs the city manager to develop a draft ordinance that will amend the zoning code to require new mobile home parks to include a playground as well as open space that can be used for community gardens “or other open space activities.” It would also prohibit mobile home park owners from charging fees for use of such amenities. Due to Renteria’s absence, Council voted to postpone a public hearing on the resolution until next week’s meeting.
