SCHEDULE INCREASE APPLICATIONS PURSUANT TO
ORDINANCE NO. 7, AND DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA, DOES
ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. During the time that this ordinance is in full
force and effect, the Mobilehome Park Rent Review Board of the City
of Moorpark shall not accept for filing pursuant to Ordinance No. 7
any rent schedule increase applications.
SECTION 2. There is existing in the County of Ventura,
inclusive of the area that is now within the boundaries of the City
of Moorpark, a shortage of mobilehome sites in mobilehome parks,
which has resulted in a low vacancy rate and rapidly rising rents.
In order to protect the owners of mobilehomes from unreasonable rent
increases, while at the same time recognizing the need of mobilehome
park owners to receive a fair return on their property and sufficient
rental income, the County of Ventura adopted Ordinance No. 3635.
Upon the 120th day after incorporation of the City of Moorpark, no
County of Ventura ordinance was of any further force and effect in
the City, unless formally adopted by the City. In order to maintain
the status quo until the City was able to undertake an independent
study of mobilehome rent regulations, the City Council of the City
of Moorpark adopted County Ordinance No. 3635, by City Ordinance
No. 7. Subsequently, the City commenced a study to insure that the
mobilehome rent regulations are adequate to serve the needs of
Moorpark, and, as a result of the study, the City Council, at its
regular meeting of September 3, 1985, introduced an ordinance that
would repeal Ordinance No. 7 and that would add to the Moorpark
Municipal Code comprehensive regulations for mobilehome park rent
stabilization. If adopted, said ordinance would not become effective
until after October 3, 1985, the date on which Ordinance No. 47,
imposing a moratorium on the acceptance of rent schedule increase
applications pursuant to Ordinance No. 7, would expire. In the
meantime, if rent schedules are permitted to be processed under
Ordinance No. 7, the intent and purpose of the ordinance being
considered for adoption would be defeated and the effective imple-
mentation of the ordinance would be substantially impaired.
SECTION 3. This ordinance shall remain in effect until.
October 16, 1985, unless sooner repealed.
SECTION 4. This ordinance is for the irrmediate preservation
of the public peace, health and safet,,� and shall take effect
immediately upon its adoption. The fact,, constituting the urgency'
are set forth in Section 2 '�ereinabcn�
