A petition for exemption from the requirement to obtain a conditional use permit for a conversion to ownership shall be approved by the director if all of the information required under Section 20.180.520 has been submitted and the director makes all of the following findings: 1. At least sixty-seven percent (67%) of the present mobilehome park residents have filed written notice of intent to purchase an ownership interest in the mobilehome park when it is converted to a common interest development; and 2. Each resident intending to purchase an ownership interest in the mobilehome park has waived any rights to relocation and purchase assistance under this chapter; and 3. A satisfactory plan of relocation and purchase assistance has been developed for all residents otherwise entitled to assistance under this chapter. A plan is satisfactory if: a. All residents have consented to the plan in writing, or b. Any resident being involuntarily displaced by the conversion to ownership and who has not consented to the plan, will be provided, at a minimum, with: i. Moving expenses for furniture and personal belongings to a new residence in Santa Clara, Alameda, Santa Cruz or San Mateo County; and ii. For those who will move their mobilehome to another location: 1. Payment of the cost of physically moving the mobilehome to a new site in Santa Clara, Alameda, Santa Cruz or San Mateo County, including but not limited to tear down and set up; and 2. Payment of the difference of rent between the old and new mobilehome park spaces for twenty-four (24) months; and iii. For those who move to a multiple or two-family dwelling, provision of a rent subsidy for up to twenty-four (24) months. Rent shall not exceed the fair market rent for new construction and substantial rehabilitation for the Santa Clara County area as established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. "Rent subsidy" is the difference between the rent of the multiple or two-family dwelling and the rent of the mobilehome space or mobilehome on the date of the notice of intention to convert; and iv. For mobilehome owners and mobilehome tenants who are handicapped, aged 62 or over, or of low income, and for mobilehome owners and mobilehome tenants with minor children, an offer of a lease or rental agreement for their current mobilehome lot. Such offer for lease or rental shall be for a period of at least one (1) year. (Ord. 26248.)
