15.1

PUBLIC HEARING - AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER 6-66 OF THE

SANTA ROSA CITY CODE, RENT CONTROL - MOBILEHOMES, TO

SET CUMULATIVE LIMIT ON RENT INCREASES FOR COMBINED

CALENDAR YEARS 2023 AND 2024

BACKGROUND: In December 2022, the Council adopted an

Amendment to the Mobilehome Rent Control Ordinance (Chapter 6-66)

that reduced the maximum annual allowable rent increase for a

mobilehome space from 100% of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) up to

a 6% increase, to 70% of CPI up to a 4% increase. The Amendment

took effect on January 6, 2023. Some mobilehome parks, however, had

rent increases effective January 1, 2023, at 100% of CPI, which was

5.7%. Mobilehome parks with rent increases on and after January 6,

2023, applied the new reduced rate of 70% of CPI or 3.99%. Staff has

been evaluating options to provide a remedy for the residents of

mobilehome parks that had increases at 100% of CPI in early January

2023, and has determined that a further adjustment to the Ordinance is

appropriate to provide consistency and equity in application of the

Ordinance going forward.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Housing and

Community Services Department that the Council introduce an

ordinance amending Chapter 6-66 of the Santa Rosa City Code, Rent

Control - Mobilehomes, to limit the cumulative rental increase for any

mobilehome space in the combined calendar years 2023 and 2024 to

the lesser of:

(A)Four percent (4%) rent increase for 2023, plus the allowed

increase in rent for 2024 under Chapter 6-66 (equal to 70% of

the increase in annual CPI as of August 2023, not to exceed

4%), or

(B) Eight percent (8%) of the rent charged for the space in 2022.
