A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CARSON OPPOSING THE ENACTMENT OF ASSEMBLY BILL
NO. 2294 PRESCRIBING FIXED LOT SIZES AND DEVELOP-
MENT STANDARDS WITHIN MOBILEHOME PARKS
WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 2294 establishing and prescribing lot sizes and
other development standarcbwithin mobilehome parks has passed the Assembly under the sponsor-
ship of John P. Quimby over the objections of the League of California Cities and many other
cities and is now pending in the Senate of the State of California; and
WHEREAS, said Bill proposed an amendment to Section 18300 of the Health
and Safety Code of the State of California deleting the authority of the city to prohibit
specified parks, travel trailers, or tent camps within all or certain zones within the city
and sets definite standards of lot sizes, sets backs and other development standards within
the mobilehome park which are not variable by the city; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Carson has, through years of
experience, ascertained that the citizens of the city are exceptionally interested in con-
trolling the placement of trailer parks, and that the taking of this control by a general state
enactment would take substantial rights away from the citizens of the city without commensurate
benefits; and
WHEREAS, itappears to this City Council that it is of great importance that
this Bill now pending before the Senate should be defeated and that all cities should be advised
of the infringement of the State in a matter which should be substantially a matter of local
concern.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Carson that it strongly opposes the restrictions placed upon the city to prescribed lot sizes
and other development standards in mobilehome parks within its city as a flagrant infringement
of local control without any overriding or redeeming state-wide concern; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution be circulated to many
of the California cities and the League so that they might also voice their protests of a bill
which will take from the citizens of the city a valuable right to exercise control of the develop-
ment of the mobilehome parks in their city in favor of handing the control of these mobilehome
parks to the Association of Mobilehome Manufacturers acting through the state law proposed by
this Association.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution be forwarded to the
author of the Bill, Assemblyman John P. Quimby, and the Senate Representatives to this
District, Ralph C. Dills and Joseph M. Kennick, together with concerned cities.
