with resl~ct to the code if it stays in one pla~ for more than nine months. With respect to the General Plan issue, it speal~s quite extensively in regards to mobilehomes, but it does not include in any of its policies about housing for a limited stay. There are no particular provisions for a recreational vehicle camp ground or more limited stay RV facilities. Mr. Pico said while traveling around the western states he noticed there appears to be a significant change to trailer parks in regards to recreational vehicles. He said the older smaller parks are accommodating the homes for people that otherwise might not be able to have homes. His concern is the definition in regards to requiring people to stay for a minimum of nine months, when it does not match some people's life style. He would like to see more flexibility in allowing people who need temporary housing to stay in these parks. Mr. Swift said staff could look at this through the PUD process. Here, however, the preexisting use is a mobilehome park and if the state definition is used, it requires a minimum stay of nine months. The definition could be modified. To do this would require a zoning modification, then a General Plan change. Ms. Michelotti asked if this appeal would address the number of spaces, not the use. Mr. Roush said it would be possible. If there were RV's located in this park for more than nine months they would fall under the definition as being a mobilehome. To allow RV's to be there less than nine months would take affirmative steps on the Citys part to allow them to be there. Ms. Michelotti said currently the legal use is designated as a mobilehome park. If the trailers were permanent then they would be in conformance with the zoning code. If the owner wanted to change this to a limited time facility, then a land use redesignation would have to be made. Ms. Dennis said the redesignation was never a question. The question was which spaces the ordinance applied to. Therefore, can there be spaces in the park that the rent control ordinance does not apply to because the trailers are moved out in less than nine months. Mr. Wagner could do this if he wanted to apply for something other than a mobilehome park. Mayor Tarver declared the public hearing open. Patrick Knapp, 4120 Stanley Blvd, said he was here on behalf of several of his neighbors. He said he was shocked at the comments considering that less than a 100 square foot vehicle could be considered affordable housing. These people are not permanent residents. There is a considerable amount of traffic caused by moving RV' s in and out of the park. These people do not contribute to the quality of life for Pleasanton. He said another space need not be approved, when there were nine vacant spaces and sixteen transient RV vehicles. He said there were a number of illegal vehicles in the park. There is very poor maintenance done on Pleasanton City Council 05/20/97 Minutes 23
