Conflict of Interest.
Community Development Director Bruckner addressed the issue Comm Dev Dir
stating that the proposed amendment to the mobilehome rent Comments
stabilization ordinance is the act of controlling the rent
in the event a mobilehome becomes vacant. The amendment is
being submitted by CHAMP (Citizens Helping Azusa's
Mobilehome Parks), who were waiting for the outcome of the
court case Yee v. City of Escondido. The argument in the
case explored whether the operation of State law combined
with local rent control ordinances resulted in "physical
occupation" of mobilehome parks, requiring local
jurisdictions who impose rent control, to compensate the
park owners for the loss in value. The U.S. Supreme Court
in recently deciding Yee, rejected that theory. He warned
Council of the possiblity of certain types of taking claims
which the City Attorney addressed and were presented as
Exhibit A.
Discussion was held between Councilmembers and staff Discussion

and life expectancy of coaches and rental agreements.
