PUBLIC HEARING - POLICY - MOBILE HOME SALES IN MOBILE HOME PARKS: Due to apparent
public interest, the City Council scheduled public hearing to obtain public
expression on recommendation of the City Planning Commission, pursuant to
their Resolution No. PC69-254, to adopt the following policy:
"To permit the sale of new mobile homes for use in newly-established
and approved mobile home parks, which sale shall be restricted to mobile homes
solely for placement in said newly-established and approved mobile home parks;
and that the sale of such mobile homes shall cease when all spaces within said
park are filled, except that replacement sales may be made whenever a vacant
space occurs."
Excerpts of the City Planning Commission meeting held January 26,
1970 were submitted, reaffirming said recommendation after hearing additional
testimony and receipt of subsequent study made as a result of opposition ex-
pressed by the Mobile Home Park Association.
Councilman Pebley questioned whether or not the City Planning Com-
mission recommendation was based on the same premise of a subdivider who, with
sale of the property, reserves the right to build.
Councilman Dutton expressed possible dangers involved to the public
in permitting "closed parks" in that standards of the parks could create a
hardship by requiring tenants to purchase new mobile homes from the operator
of the park every four or five years, or by eviction, creating a vacant space
for the sale of a new trailer.
70 -45
City Hall~ Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 27, 1970~ 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Geisler advised that the only issue before the City Council
was that of "land use" and whether the sale of mobile homes will be per-
mitted on the property for a limited purpose. In his opinion, the author-
ity to regulate a "closed park" fell within the jurisdiction of the State,
under the State Trailer Act.
Regarding a "closed park," Mr. Geisler used as a comparison
illustration an apartment operation, whereby units are rented on coRdi-
tion the tenant purchase the furniture from the apartment owner, compared
to the rental of a trailer space on condition the tenant purchase a mo-
bile home from the operator of the park.
Mayor Clark noted that trailer sales reqUire C,3 zoning, and
felt that'a problem would~be ~reated in adop~ing'the'~olicy'in that these
sales would be made from a residential area.
Mayor Clark asked if anyone wished to address the Council favor-
ing the recommended policy.
Mr. Dick Bowlin, 8208 La Sierra, Whittier, representing Accent
Enterprises and Accent Mobile Home Sales, developer of mobile homes, re-
ported there have always been "closed parks" and advised how this has
been accomplished.
Mr. Bowlin reported that they develop approximately 35 pamks
and sell nearly 1,000 trailers per year. In their parks, certain regu-
lations are established to upgrade the park~ He explained problems en-
countered in obtaining zoning because of the "gypsy image" the trailer
park has had in the past. He further' advised that it was economically
unfeasible to develop a mobile home park on property co~ting $25,000°00
to $35,000.00 per acre, unless sales are involved. In his opinion, this
was not a restraint of trade, as thought by some dealers, but an effort
to upgrade the industry and establish some control of the parks.
Mr. Bowlin reported that in their parks the first owner has
the' option to sell his coach, however, the second owner does not, and
this prohibition is made so that the mobile homes in the park are rela-
tively new models.
Regarding the Ponderosa Park, Mr. Bowlin advised that Accent
owns half of the Ponderosa Park, as far as sales are concerned, and if
they had to, sales would be made from one of their other facilities.
Mr. Denny Dickenson, co-owner of the mobile home park located
at the corner of Crescent Avenue and Gilbert Street, reported that they
obtained a permit from the Zoning Division to sell mobile homes from this
location; that he is a dealer and has three sales lots in Northern Cali-
fornia and one here, and as a dealer he represents 23 manufacturers~ He
further reported he was forced into the dealer business because of lack
of cooperation between dealers and the mobile home.park owners. In his
12 years of experience, it was found that people living in their parks
were not getting serVice on their coaches from the dealers from whom they
purchased their mobile homes.
Mr. Dickenson advised that lenders are requiring either sales
of mobile homes in the parks or a contract with a dealer to insure the
loan risk.
In conclusion, Mr. Dickenson felt that the issue was either
to be allowed to sell coaches from the mobile home parks, with tax reve-
nue coming to the City, or sell from another location, with tax revenue
going to another jurisdiction; and as to a "closed park," this is being
done by management.
Mayor Clark asked if anyone else wished to speak in favor of
the policy. Hearing no response, asked if anyone wished to address the
Council against the policy.
70-46
City Hall~ Anah~m~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - JanuarM ~.7.~..~970~ 1:30 P.M.
Mrs. Vera Franzen from Fresno, California, related her experienced
advising of her inability to locate in this area and move their 1959, 45-foot
Spartan Mobile Home from Fresno, without paying $200.00 under the table and
$500.00 membership fee, or purchasing an expando.
Mrs. Franzen further advised that there are spaces available, but
no one wants an older trailer in their park. As a result, they are having to
live in a motel and will possibly forfeit a job that her husband has held for
29 years.
Mrs. Franzen suggested the Council thoroughly investigate the situa-
tion to determine who will benefit most, the tenants of the mobile home parks
or the dealers who sell these mobile homes° She further advised that some of
the older people invest their life savings in these mobile homes, and 5 or 10
years from now the homes will be an unacceptable age in any park.
Mayor Clark noted that the Council had no authority to legislate
an action that would remedy Mrs. Franzen~s situation, but possibly the State
could legislate against this type of discrimination.
Mr. Anton Dumhart, Attorney representing the California Mobile Home
Dealers Association, expressed opposition to the proposed policy, advising that
this would be unfair competition to those dealers who must maintain a place of
business in a commercial zone, expending funds to meet commercial requirements
and higher taxes, who would be competing with those selling from a residential
zone. He noted that a mobile home was personal property, and not real property,
and could not be compared to a subdivision tract sale. He stated that the prob-
lem created to the purchaser that he cannot obtain a competitive price or, in
other words, shop for a mobile home, and many of the park operators or dealers
will fill a park and move away, then the purchaser has no one to turn to for
service. He noted that approval of the proposed policy would give blanket
authorization for sale of these homes in mobile home parks.
In conclusion, Mr. Dumhart stated that, in his opinion, the "closed
park" operator would be gaining an unfair advantage over the commercial deal-
er, due to the scarcity of spaces in mobile home parks~ further, there is a
case pending on appeal in the California Appellate Courts to declare this
practice illegal.
Mr. Tom Ballas, owner of sales lot at 2931 West Lincoln Avenue, ad-
vised that in 1954 he obtained permission to build an open mobile home park
and sales lot at the corner of Lincoln Avenue and Beach Boulevard, and at
the time the park was built,cost of meeting commercial requirements in con-
nection with the sales lot, which was not in conjunction with the mobile home
park, was approximately $40,000.00. He asked if this was fair competition to
now change these standards.
Mr. Ballas reported on large corporations,representing substantial
funds, entering this business, and also noted cases of mass evictions so that
parks can be converted to sales lots, creating untold hardship to many, es-
pecially to senior citizens.
Mr. Geisler again pointed out that the matter of zoning cannot con-
trol the matter of "closed" or "open" parks.
Mr. Rusty Watson, 19361Brookhurst Avenue, Huntington Beach, Region-
al Director for Golden State Mobile Home Owners League Of California, rep-
resenting the end user, the people, called attention to the first sale privi-
lege and asked if this ceased when the park was fully occupied or when vacan-
cies are created. He advised that this has become a problem throughout Cali-
fornia, and in many parks 5 years old, you cannot sell your mobile home in
the park and a new one must be purchased. He felt the adoption of the recom-
mended policy would only add to the already existing hazards to the end users.
Mr. Watson was of the opinion that it was unfair to the residents
of these mobile home parks to be required to pay $18,000.00 for a unit through
a mobile home park that could be purchased from a dealer for $13,000.00 or
$15,000.00. In addition, the tenant has no lease or contract or assurance
70-47
City Hall~ Anaheim~ California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 27~ 1970~ !.:30 P.M.
of how long he can remain in the park, even if the unit is purchased
through the park. He stated that a survey of the existing parks in
Anaheim would reveal the unrest of the tenants.
In conclusion, Mr. Watson advised that the adoption of the
recommended policy would be beneficial to a few, at the expense of many.
Mr. Jim Cooper, of the Jim Cooper Trailer Sales, Santa Ana, ad-
vised that if sales in closed parks are permitted, thereby boycotting the
dealer, many legitimate dealers will be put out of business.
Mr. Cooper called attention to a situation that could exist,
should all parks become "closed ~arks," the legitimate dealer out of busi-
ness, and a mass eviction occur. He asked where the people would go, not-
ing that they cannot park their mobile homes on the streets.
The Mayor asked if anyone else had anything new to offer, there
being no response, declared the hearing closed.
Councilman Clark offered a resolution rejecting the recommended
policy, and requested the City Attorney to investigate leglislation that
would prohibit a mobile home park operator from requiring a mobile home
be purchased through him.
Mr. Geisler advised that to accomplish the action offered by Coun-
'df!-!~nClark would be to find that the sale of trailers in connection with
the trailer park is not a use which is incidental to the park, and there-
fore, no sales will be permitted upon the property.
Mr. Geisler further advised that this action would also prohibit
resales on the property.
Council discussion followed. One suggestion was to limit the
sale of trailers within a park to the trailer park operator or owner.
Another suggestion was that once the park is fully occupied, only resale
of existing trailers would be permitted. Also considered was a require-
ment for a temporary trailer sales license, to allow sales until the park
is fully occupied.
After further exploring possible problems, it was agreed that
the adoption of the recommended policy could have far-reaching ramifica-
tions and more study should be given to the issue; thereupon, Councilman
Clark withdrew said resolution.
It was recognized that the State of California preempts most of
the regulations pertaining to trailer parks, and the City Attorney was re-
quested to research the law to determine if present legislation prohibits
the sale of trailers in a mobile home park, and if present laws also pro-
hibit closed parks.
At the conclusion of Council discussion, on motion by Council-
man Kretn, seconded by Councilman Dutton, action of the City Council was
deferred to February 24, 1970, 1:30 P.M., to allow the City Attorney an
opportunity to research present State laws governing mobile home parks.

REQUEST - SOLICITATION OF FUNDS: Mr. Murdoch reported on an application to solicit
for charity funds January 29 through March 29, 1970, received from Chaplain
Leslie O. Wheeler on behalf of American Christian Crusade, Inc., for the de-
velopment and operation of the American Indian Institute at Parks, Arizona.
At the conclusiOn of brief Council discUssion, on the recommenda-
tion of the City Manager., Councilman Krein moved that said request be granted.
Councilman Dutton seconded the motion. MOTION cARRIED.
ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE: Mr. Murdoch reported that in one week (February 3, 1970),
he will outline his proposal, recommendations and reasons therefor, for the
organizational changes in the functions of the Manager's Office, Finance De-
partment and Utilities Department; changing the name of the Finance Depart-
ment to "Department of Systems and Research."
CODE OF ETHICS: Councilman Dutton expressed his desire for adoption of a Code of
Ethics to govern public officers and employees, in order to restore public
confidence in elected officials. He stated elected officials can be guilty
of conflict of interest, guilty of committing an act that is contrary to pub-
lic policy, common law or immoral acts because there are no provisions in the
City Charter or Government Code that makes such acts criminally illegal.
Councilman Dutton stated he preferred the adoption of an ordinance
as oPposed to a resolution inasmuch as an ordinance governs public elected
officials as well as employees, and thereupon requested the City clerk to
schedule the matter on the Agenda of the February '10, 1970 meeting.
Mayor Clark pointed out that the State Conflict of Interest Legis-
lation is unacceptable to many and, according to his information, it iS~pos-
sible that the law will be redrafted. He felt that the problem of Conflict
of Interest was State-wide and perhaps the Council should wait to see what
amendments might be proposed by the State Legislature.
Councilman Dutton concurred that the problem was State-wide, and
realized any action taken by Anaheim could be superseded by State action,
but felt the adoption of a Code of Ethics to protect the public, as well as
the elected and appointed officials was long overdue and a definite action
should be taken so that the people know their officials are above and beyond
reproach. He gave as an example some erroneous rumors circulated in the past
which he felt would not have been, had a Code of Ethics been adopted.

motion. MOTION CARRIED,
