Ventura County Zoning Code · 2026-06 edition · updated 2026-09-25 · Ventura County

Mobilehome parks offer affordable ownership housing to the citizens of Ventura County, especially to residents over the ages of 62, many of which are on fixed or limited incomes. Mobilehome parks are a relatively low intensity land use, and in growing urban areas, older parks are coming under economic pressure to redevelop to more profitable uses. In these urban areas and throughout the County, vacant mobilehome park spaces are usually rare. Park residents evicted because of change of use of the park may be unable to find space in other parks to move their home to, or cannot afford the move even if a space were available. For these reasons, it is deemed necessary to protect the owners of mobilehomes from unreasonable evictions and undue financial hardship from a mobilehome park closure, while at the same time recognizing the rights of park owners to pursue changes in land use.
