Shall the Escondido General Plan land use category Policy B1.7 be amended to allow conversion to resident ownership of existing mobile home parks? (as shown on Exhibit 1)

Official Sources of Information
Impartial Analysis from the City Attorney
An Initiative Measure to Amend Escondido General Plan Policy B1.7

In 1998, the voters adopted Proposition S, which changed the Escondido general plan to require that amendments to certain portions of the general plan can only occur after a majority vote of the people at an election.

Proposition S specifically provides that general plan amendments or specific plans cannot be adopted without a vote of the people if the changes increase residential density, change the general plan's residential land use categories, or change certain residential designations (rural, estate, suburban, and urban) to a commercial or industrial designation.

In addition, Proposition S re-adopted specific policies from the current general plan. These policies are those which regulate land use patterns and character, residential development, and residential preservation and development. The measure re-adopts specific policies regarding planned development zoning, specific planning areas, clustering of residential development and the population objectives. Proposition S required that changes to these policies in the future cannot be made except by a vote of the people at an election.

This particular Measure asks whether the text of the Escondido General Plan Policy B1.7 should be amended to allow conversion to resident ownership of mobile home parks at existing densities legally established under previous ordinances and statutes (as shown on Exhibit 1).

Exhibit 1

Amendment to add the following text to General Plan Land Use Policy B1.7:

Nothing in this General Plan shall prohibit the continued use of
legally established mobile home spaces and the possibility of ownership conversion at existing densities legally established under previous ordinances and statutes. Said mobile home spaces shall also be exempt from the clustering provisions discussed in this General Plan.
