There is presently within the unincorporated area of the County a shortage of spaces
for the location of mobile homes, trailers, and other mobile dwelling units. Because
of this shortage, there is a low vacancy rate and rents have been for several years,
and are presently, rising rapidly and causing concern among a substantial number of
County residents. Because of the high cost of moving these mobile dwelling units,
potential for damage resulting therefrom, the requirements relating to the installation
of mobile dwelling units, including permits, landscaping, and site preparation, the
lack of alternative home sites for mobile dwelling units and the substantial investment
of owners in such mobile dwelling units, a virtual monopoly exists in the rental of
mobile dwelling unit park spaces, creating a situation where park owners have unbridled
discretion and ability to exploit park tenants. For these reasons, among others, the
Board of Supervisors finds and declares it necessary to protect the owners of mobile
dwelling units from unreasonable rent increases, while at the same time recognizing
the need of park owners to receive a fair return on their property and rent income
sufficient to cover increases in the cost of repairs, maintenance, insurance, employee
services, additional amenities, and other costs of operation.
