Timing <br />The state legislature recently approved a statewide bill addressing manufactured dwelling park closures. <br />That bill grandfathered in the manufactured dwelling park closure provisions that exist in four cities, <br />including Eugene, and gave those cities 180 days from June 28, 2007, to amend their provisions. <br /> <br /> <br />RELATED CITY POLICIES <br />The City’s 2007 Legislative Policies, V.B2 supports legislation that provides assistance to residents <br />when manufactured home parks are closed. <br /> <br />The City currently has an ordinance in place. This action would amend the ordinance so that it is more <br />responsive to current issues and needs. <br /> <br />Two of Eugene’s Growth Management Policies apply to manufactured home park closures: <br /> Policy 7: Provide for a greater variety of housing types. <br /> Policy 9: Mitigate the impacts of new and/or higher density housing, in-fill, and redevelopment on <br /> neighborhoods through design standards, open space and housing maintenance programs, <br /> and continuing historic preservation and neighborhood planning programs. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />COUNCIL OPTIONS <br /> <br />The council may adopt, amend, or reject this proposal or table it. If it is tabled it must be addressed <br />within 180 days in order to meet the new state legislation. <br /> <br /> <br />CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />The City Manager recommends adoption of the proposed ordinance. <br /> <br /> <br />SUGGESTED MOTION <br /> <br />Move to adopt an ordinance concerning manufactured dwelling park closures; and amending sections <br />2.1060 and 2.1086 of the Eugene Code, 1971. <br /> <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />A.
