REPORT IN BRIEF
Sunnyvale Municipal Code (SMC) Chapter 19.72 regulates mobile home park conversions or closures and establishes a process for park owners to follow when they decide to close a park or convert it to another use. Chapter 19.72 requires park owners to prepare a Conversion Impact Report (CIR) (Attachments 1 and 2) to provide information about a planned park closure or conversion including background information on the park, its current residents, the timing of the proposed closure, the types of relocation assistance to be provided to park residents, and related information. Portions of the CIR that include sensitive personal information, such as tenant names, household income, demographics, and housing needs, are provided as a confidential report for staff review, but are not included in the main CIR for public review.
