The conversion will not result in the displacement of low income individuals or households who cannot afford rents charged in other parks.

That the age, type, and style of mobile homes within the park proposed for conversion can be accepted into other parks within the county of Shasta.

If the conversion is to another residential use, that the tenants of the mobile home park will have first opportunity to occupy the units and the construction schedule will not result in long-term displacements.

In the approval of a mobile home park conversion, the County shall attach conditions necessary to mitigate the impacts associated with the conversion.

Such conditions may include, but are not limited to, the following conditions:

1.

Payment by the owner for relocation of the resident to comparable housing.

2.

The residents be given the option of a long-term lease of the land and purchase of the improvements.

4.

An effective date of the approval of the conversion of not less than one year after approval of the conversion so as to provide sufficient time for the relocation of the mobile homes to other parks.
