Title

Senior Residential (-SR) Overlay District for Mobilehome Parks

Description

The project involves a City-initiated proposal to amend the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance to establish a Senior Residential (-SR) Overlay zoning district for mobile home parks (Zoning Text Amendment No. 13-002, Zoning Map Amendment Nos. 13-001 and 13-002). The purpose of the -SR Overlay district is to establish criteria that will protect those mobile home parks primarily occupied by seniors 55 years of age and older from conversion to family (non age-restricted) parks in an effort to preserve affordable housing for seniors. The proposed -SR Overlay may overlay any property that allows mobile home park uses. The project includes Zoning Map Amendments to apply the Senior Residential (-SR) Overlay designations to 10 existing (as of August 5, 2013) senior mobile home parks in the City. The eight remaining family parks in the City will not be affected by the proposed -SR Overlay district. However, they could apply to have the -SR Overlay designation in the future. In addition, a senior mobile home park with the -SR Overlay designation in the future. In addition, a senior mobile home park with the -SR Overlay designation could apply to remove the overlay designation pursuant to applicable city code requirements. The provisions of the -SR Overlay district do not require any construction or reconfiguration of existing mobile home parks. No operational changes to senior mobile home park would be required other than those described above. In addition, the proposed -SR Overlay district would not change the allowable uses of the base zoning district.
