I’ve included some of our materials and info that you might find interesting.  Budget Information: FY 2024/25 Budget: 2.3 Million* *Total Operating Budget ($2,350,664) - ending balance/re-budgets ($620,764) - investment earnings ($33,000) = $1,696,900  Also, one of our key takeaways is to make the rent registry mandatory right way and if you can, develop some type of penalties and fees for non-compliance. Like I said, we did not do that and it was a waste of 2-3 years because the landlords did not want to comply on their own.

Rental Housing Fee The CSFRA requires landlords pay an annual Rental Housing Fee established by the Rental Housing Committee (RHC) to fund the reasonable and necessary expenses of implementing the program. On June 13, 2024, the RHC adopted the FY 2024-25 budget and established the annual Rental Housing Fee of $120.00 per unit. Payment of this fee is due January 31, 2025. See the attached invoice for payment options. Invoices for previous years will have different per unit fees. Any unpaid balance for past-due annual Rental Housing Fees and penalties from prior years or previous owners remain due. Annual Property Registration The RHC adopted mandatory annual registration for all CSFRA covered units. To register your property, log in to mvrent.mountainview.gov or fill out the registration forms included in this packet. On the property portal, landlords can also file for Rental Housing Fee exemptions. Registration is due January 31, 2025. Required Registration Portal Updates In addition to submitting annual property registration, landlords are responsible for timely property updates throughout the year. These changes can be made at mvrent.mountainview.gov. Compliance and Enforcement Landlords who fail to register or pay the Rental Housing Fee are substantially non-compliant with the CSFRA. If a landlord is out of compliance, they cannot lawfully raise rents and/or file a petition for upward adjustment of rent. Being substantially out of compliance may result in: Manage Required Information • Contact Information (within 30 days of change) • New Tenancy Information (within 30 days) • Tenant Vacancy Information (within 30 days) Submit Required Notices • Termination Notices (within 3 days) • Notice Follow-up Documentation (within 7 days) • Banked Rent Increase Notices (within 7 days) • Tenant Buyout Notices (within 15 days of execution) • Mailing non-compliance letters with a copy sent to affected tenants • Posting non-compliant properties online at mvrent.mountainview.gov • Late fees of 4% per month for non-payment of Rental Housing Fees • Late fees of $25 per unit per month for non- registration CSFRA Rental Housing Fee and Property Registration All Landlords of Fully Covered CSFRA properties must submit a One-Time Utility Adjustment Petition, regardless of the utility billing method used on the property.

These are all clean-up items to accommodate state law changes for ADUs as well as other miscellaneous changes identified by staff. ADU Changes  cleaning up setbacks and height allowances to explicitly call out new allowances provided by state law (four- foot side and rear setbacks allowed for detached ADUs with a maximum height of 18 feet on a property with a multifamily, multistory dwelling unit, and attached ADUs with a maximum height of 25 feet)  defer ADU height limits to that of the underlying zone, rather than 25 feet. This could allow for ADUs of up to 35 feet in R-2, R-3 and R-4 zones. Since ADUs have a maximum size of 1,200 square feet, most standalone ADUs will remain under 25 feet height. Multi-family ADUs in one structure now have more flexibility.  Remove section in Procedural Requirements around attached ADUs to comply with state law allowances  Add exception to discretionary review requirements (Hillside Development Standards and additions to nonconforming structures) for ADUs to comply with state law.  Add definitions and language clearly delineating the difference between attached and detached ADUs  Add clarity to Lot Coverage requirements for ADUs - first 800 square feet of lot coverage for an ADU is exempt, anything in excess of that is subject to requirements.  Clean up Accessory Structures portion of zoning code to include exemptions for ADUs in compliance with state law Miscellaneous Changes 7  Update Mobile Home Park Rent Stabilization Ordinance to remove long-term lease exemption in compliance with changes to state law.  Update Density Calculations to clarify that density units, rather than dwelling units, are used to calculate density bonuses and other density calculations.  Revise Subdivision Regulations to allow minor urban lot splits on properties located in historic districts. Minor urban lot splits are still prohibited for properties that are designated historic resources by the state and/or City. This is to reach compliance with AB 1061 requirements.  Add figure to explain driveway visibility requirements based on Engineering Standard 7950.

I am reaching out about a small issue I initially noticed in the values appearing on the table charting the City’s RHNA progress (Table B) for the Extremely Low- and Very Low-Income units permitted by the City in 2024. The short version of the story is that I noticed there was a negative value in our system for Very Low-income deed- restricted units permitted by the City in 2024 that would have appeared on the Table B of your 2025 APR. This value was generated due to the over-reporting of Extremely Low-Income units on the City’s APR for that year, which are subtracted from Very Low-Income totals in our calculations of yearly permits in years prior to 2025, since Extremely Low used to be reported as a subset of the Very Low-Income affordability category. Some background on how this over-reporting occurred – On the 2025 APR, the City reported a project on Row 115 of Table A2 that had permitted 19 Very Low-Income units, but also reported the same project as having 20 units affordable to Extremely Low-income households in the old Column 13 on that table. Since, in prior years of the APR form, it should have only been possible to report Very Low-Income units as also being affordable to Extremely Low-Income households, this data cannot be correct and must be revised. As an immediate next step: Please send me the version of your 2025 APR form you are currently working on so I can edit the 2024 permitting totals so they appear accurately in Table B. After you submit the 2025 APR: When you have the time, prepare and submit a revised copy of SLO’s 2024 APR that accurately reports the breakdown of Very Low- and Extremely Low-Income units on the project in Row 115. This will help maintain the accuracy of the affordability data in the APR dashboard and on Table B going forward. Thanks, and please let me know if you have any questions. 19 Best, Isaac O’Connell Housing Data Specialist – Data & Innovation Unit Phone: (916) 584-3109 | Email: Isaac.OConnell@hcd.ca.gov APR Website: hcd.ca.gov/apr APR Office Hours: February 27, 1:30-3:00pm – Link [teams.microsoft.com] March 27, 1:30-3:00pm – Link [teams.microsoft.com] [twitter.com] [facebook.com] 20 From:Edwin Rambuski <edwin@rambuskilaw.com> Sent:Wednesday, February 18, 2026 6:27 PM To:Symens, Sadie Subject:Re: South Peak Mobile Home Park, Space A27 Got it thank you.

I had to go through this exercise to satisfy GSMOL and its attorney. If the amendment is approved on 5 May, how long before it takes effect? My client is having trouble selling her home; probably because of the high space rent. On Wed, Feb 18, 2026 at 4:04 PM Symens, Sadie <ssymens@slocity.org> wrote: Hi Edwin, I have had an opportunity to look a bit more at this. I want to note that it is not our office’s opinion that AB 2782 automatically repealed the City’s long-term lease exemption. Petaluma’s position that AB 2782 repealed theirs makes sense because their mobile home rent control regulations included a savings provision for the Section 798.17 exemption, not a separate exemption for long-term leases. Rather than referring to the MRL, SLO’s municipal code sets forth a standalone long-term lease exemption that requires removal by ordinance amendment. Given that, I’m not sure a “communique” from our office would accomplish what your client is hoping it will; the item is on the City Council agenda for May 5th, and the staff report will explain the effect of the amendment should Council vote to adopt it. Happy to discuss further, though, if I am missing something.

As I mentioned previously, my client owns a mobile home and has the property listed for sale. Harmony Communities is prepared to increase the space rent by 52% on the sale of the mobile home. I understand that the City of San Luis Obispo is in the process of amending its code to address the long-term lease exemption after repeal of Civil Code § 798.17 by AB 2782. When do you expect that the code amendment will be completed? My client is a member of the Golden State Manufactured-home Owners League and GSMOL is considering providing my client with an attorney to pursue a declaratory relief action in San Luis Obispo County Superior Court, with the fees paid for by GSMOL. GSMOL and its attorney do believe that there is a chance that the Superior Court will reach the same decision that the administrative hearing officer reached in your code enforcement case. 23 I have been assigned the task of asking whether the City of San Luis Obispo would be “willing to issue a Petaluma- style communique.” I have attached a memo written by the City Manager for the City of Petaluma that addresses the issue. In the opinion of GSMOL and its attorney, the memo clears up the confusion regarding the repeal of Civil Code § 798.17 and makes it more likely that a homeowner would prevail. I told GSMOL and its attorney that I would ask you whether you think that there is any chance that the City of San Luis Obispo would issue a similar “communique.” Thank you in advance for your continuing professional courtesy and cooperation in this matter.

Citation number: 00040264 2. Location of charged violation: 145 South Street, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 3. APN: 004-802-020 4. Date of charged violation: June 20, 2025 5. Name of charged Violator/Appellant: Village Properties LLC a CA LLC/Harmony Community 6. Representative of Appellant: Jason Dilday, Attorney 7. Description of charged violation a. SLO City Municipal Code section: 5.44.060(C) b. Description of charged violation: Base Space Rent – Determination Allowable Increases Without Hearing c. Fine Assessed: $100 8. Date of Hearing: The Appellant waived its right to a hearing. Therefore, this decision has been made on the record. 9. Name of Hearing Officer: Alex S. Karlin 10. PROCEDURAL POSTURE AS REFLECTED IN THE RECORD On May 30, 2025, Sadie Symens, Deputy City Attorney for the City of San Luis Obispo, CA sent a letter to the Appellant and Judy Tsai, attorney, notifying them that the City considered the Appellant’s “proposed increase in the space rent for space 28 at South Peak Mobile Home Park by 108% would constitute a violation of the San Luis Obispo Mobile Home Park Rent Stabilization Ordinance.” (May 30 Letter). Ms. Symens said the Appellant was in violation of Section 5.44.060(C) of the San Luis Obispo Municipal Code (SLOMC 5.44.060(C)). On June 24, 2025, Rami Salem, Code Enforcement Officer & Safe Housing Coordinator for the City of San Luis Obispo, CA sent a Notice to Correct Code Violation(s)/Notice of Violation (June 24 NOV) to the Appellant stating that the Appellant was in violation of SLOMC 5.44.060(C) and asking the Appellant to correct the violation immediately. On June 26, 2025, the Appellant requested a Director’s review of the June 24 NOV. On July 10, 2025, John Mezzapesa, Interim Deputy Building Official for the City of San Luis Obispo, CA sent a Director’s Decision After Review of Notice to Correct/Notice of Violation to the Appellant’s representative, Matthew Davies. (July 10 Director’s Decision). The decision 2 analyzed and rejected the Appellant’s reasoning and arguments and instructed the Appellant to “take action to correct the code violation(s) immediately.” On July 23, 2025, the City of San Luis Obispo issued Citation 00040264 to the Appellant, citing it with violating SLOMC 5.44.060(C), ordering it to correct the violation immediately, and imposing a $100 fine. (Citation). The Citation alleged that the date of the violation was June 20, 2025. On July 29, 2025, the Appellant appealed the Citation (Appeal). The Appeal stated that there was no violation of SLOMC 5.44.060(C) and raised three primary arguments. First, that there had been a “change of ownership resulting from the vacation of the space” and therefore the rent increase was legal. Second, that the unit in space A28 “is an RV, not a mobile home” and therefore that the City’s Mobile Home Part Rent Stabilization Ordinance (specifically SLOMC 5.44.060(C)) is not applicable. Third, that “Ms. Valentines A28 tenancy was the product of a 20- year lease” and thus exempt from SLOMC 5.44.060(C) pursuant to SLOMC 5.44.030(E). On September 19, 2025, Mr. Jason Dilday, attorney, filed a brief herein on behalf of the Appellant. (Appellant’s Brief). The Appellant’s brief raised the same three arguments reflected in the Appeal and included six exhibits (A through F). On September 23, 2025, J. Christine Dietrick and Sadie Symens (City Attorney and Deputy City Attorney, respectively, for the City of San Luis Obispo, CA) filed a brief in support of the Citation (City’s Brief). The City’s Brief included two “Figures,” including a photo of Linda Valentines unit sitting in space A28, and one Attachment. [I note that, on September 28, 2025, Mr. Matt Davies sent an email to me on behalf of the Appellant and responding to the City’s Brief. (Davies Email). The Davies Email argued that the City’s Brief “it is full of falsehoods and half-truths,” raised entirely new arguments not previously reflected in the Appellant’s filings and not raised in the Appellant’s brief, and argued that “the city makes hearsay arguments that are not backed up by any documentation.” Inasmuch as the Davies Email was filed after the record in this proceeding was closed and shows no indication that it was ever cc’d or otherwise shared with the City Attorney’s Office (or indeed even shared with the Appellant’s own attorney), it is not part of the record in this case and will not be considered.] 11. FINDINGS OF FACT Based on the administrative record in this matter I find the relevant facts to be as follows: The Appellant owns and operates the South Peak Mobile Home Park (SPMHP), located at 145 South Street in San Luis Obispo. Appellant’s Brief P2. SPMHP is a mobile home park within the meaning of SLOMC 5.44.020(B). On July 13, 2023, the Appellant (or its predecessor) signed a “Long Term Rental Agreement” with Ms. Linda Valentine and Ms. Vanessa Valentine leasing Space A28 to them for 20 years. Appellant’s Exhibit A. (Hereinafter “20 Year Lease”). Both Valentines signed as “homeowner.” The 20 Year Lease sets Base Rent of $695 per month for the first year (section 1.3) and specifies that thereafter the rent will increase no less than 3.95%, nor more than 9% over prior year’s rent “if the term of the Agreement . . . is a 20 year term.” (section 5.1). The following statement is at the top of the first page of the 20 Year Lease “THIS LONG-TERM RENTAL 3 AGREEMENT WILL BE EXEMPT FROM CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO MOBILE HOME PARK RENT STABILIZATION ORDINANCE TITLE 5, CHAPTER 5.44, A COPY OF WHICH IS ATTACHED.” Meanwhile, on July 10, 2023, Appellant or its predecessor) executed a “Home Purchase Agreement” with Linda Valentine selling her a “home” described cryptically as a “2018 Champion” serial number 1c912353j1324285. Appellant’s Exhibit C. The record includes a copy of a California Department of Moter Vehicles Registration Card for the same 2018 Champion, characterizing it as a “vehicle,” specifically as a “TRAILER.” Appellant’s Exhibit B. The DMV registration is valid from 2018 to 2019. There is no evidence as to whether it is currently registered as a “vehicle” with DMV. According to the City, it did a recent (undated) search of the website of the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) which research showed the SPMHP as having 75 spaces for mobile homes and zero spaces for recreational vehicles (RVs). City Brief, Figure 1. The evidence also includes an undated photograph of “Linda Valentine’s mobile home parked in Space 28.” City Brief, Figure 2. The record reflects, that sometime in 2024 or 2025, a dispute apparently arose between the Appellant and the Valentines. The City’s Brief contains a long passage referencing this dispute. City’s Brief P 4-5. There seems to have been an “unlawful detainer stipulation, an eviction attempt, an “eviction settlement agreement,” a “termination of tenancy” and maybe another “stipulation agreement.” I am not able to sort it out. The record herein also includes a strange document titled “Information for Prospective Homeowners” that says that “if you are approved for tenancy” the monthly rent will be $1595 for “space A28.” City’s Brief, Attachment A. The City uses this figure as the basis for asserting that the Appellant is proposing a 108% increase in rent ($1,595 being 108% of the then current rent of $767.91). City’s Brief P 6. Attachment A contains a signature space for the Park Manager of SPMHP, but it is not signed. It is dated May 1, 2025. Suffice it to say, this case does not involve resolving any of those issues. The City maintains that these wranglings and documents amount to the termination of the 20 Year Lease and the creation of a new short-term lease. More on that anon. The evidence also includes a copy of a June 6, 2025, email from Evan Harris, a Staff Attorney with California Rural Legal Assistance Inc, to Melissa Lawley, Judy Tsai, and Jessica Lu regarding “South Peak v. Valentine.” Appellant’s Brief, Exhibit D. In it, Mr. Harris states “Ms. Valentine has officially vacated the unit, the unit is now unoccupied, and all of her belongings have been removed.” He goes on to assert “she retains ownership and access to the property.” Mr. Harris appears to be representing Ms. Valentine in South Peak v. Valentine. I infer that he is representing LINDA Valentine. See Appellant’s Brief P2. Thus, while the evidence shows that at some point Ms. Linda Valentine vacated the “unit” i.e., the 2018 Champion, there is no indication in the record that the 2018 Champion itself has ever been removed from Space A28. Finally, the administrative record reflects that Ms. Valentine is attempting to sell the 2018 Champion but does not indicate whether she has succeeded or whether there has been a “change of ownership.” 4 12. KEY PROVISIONS OF LAW The San Luis Obispo Mobile Park Rent Stabilization Ordinance at SLOMC 5.44.060(C) states, in pertinent part: The maximum monthly space rent of a tenant may be increased by the owner when there is a change of ownership affecting the mobile home. However, such increase shall not exceed ten percent of the then existing space rent and may not be relied upon any more often than once in any thirty-six-month period as the basis to increase rent. ************ In the event of change of ownership resulting from vacation of the space, then the space rent may be adjusted to fair market rent in the community. Nothing in this paragraph shall preclude an adjustment as may otherwise be provided for in this chapter.” Emphasis added. SLOMC 5.44.030(E) states, in pertinent part: The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to the following tenancies in mobile home parks: (E) Tenancies covered by leases or contracts which provide for a tenancy of more than year, but only for the duration of such lease or contract.” 13. LEGAL ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSIONS The Appellant argues that SLOMC 5.44.060(C) does not apply to this case for three independent reasons. I will address each in turn. A. Whether the Unit on Space A28 is a “Mobile Home” The Appellant contends that the object sitting in space A28 (a “Champion 18”) is a recreational vehicle (RV) and not a “mobile home” and thus not subject to the rent control strictures of the San Luis Obispo Mobile Home Park Rent Stabilization Ordinance, SLOMC 5.44.060(C). Appellant correctly notes that the mobile home ordinance never defines the term “mobile home.” Further, the California DMV issued a vehicle registration for the Champion 18 in 2018-2019, describing it as a “vehicle – trailer.” The City argues that the Champion 18 is a mobile home, that the Appellant’s operation at 145 South Street is denominated and regulated as a mobile home park, that the Appellant has treated it as a mobile home, that it meets the purposes and intent of the City ordinance, and that the ordinance does not define or exclude RV’s from also being a mobile home. Further, the City argues that: “Mobilehome under the MRL is defined as “a structure designed for human habitation and for being moved on a street or highway under permit pursuant to Section 35790 of the Vehicle Code” and also includes “trailers and recreational vehicles of all types . . 5 which are used for human habitation if . . . the trailer or other recreational vehicle occupies a mobile home site for nine or more continuous months. Although the unit does not appear to meet the definition of an RV under Health and Safety Code 18010, even if it did, it would still be considered a mobile home since it has continuously occupied Space A28 since at least July 2023 when Linda Valentine signed her lease.” City’s Brief P3. For reasons set forth by the City, I conclude that the unit that is sitting in Space A28 in the South Peak Mobile Home Park is a “mobile home” and is subject to the letter and spirit of SLOMC 5.44.060(C). The 20 Year Lease specifies that the Valentines are “Homeowners,” and uses the terminology of “home,” “homeowner,” “housing,” and “mobile home” throughout. The Valentines signed the lease as “homeowners.” Even the Home Purchase Agreement refers to the unit (Champion 2018) as a “home.” The name of the Appellant’s operation at 145 South Street is “South Peak Mobile Home Park” It is regulated by the City as a mobile home park. The photograph submitted by the City (City’s Brief, Figure 2), shows that the unit is firmly planted on space A28. And, even if the unit is in some sense movable (i.e., “mobile”) that does not mean that it cannot be both a mobile home and an RV. And even if it is an RV, given that the unit has occupied Space A28 for nine or more continuous months, it is a mobile home for purposes of State law and SLOMC 5.44.060(C). B. Whether there has been a “change of ownership resulting from vacation of the space” Appellant next argues that since Ms. Valentine no longer lives in the mobile home, space A28, there has been a “change of ownership resulting in a vacation of the space” pursuant to the fourth sentence of SLOMC 5.44.060(C), entitling the landlord to increase the rent to fair market value. For reasons set forth by the City, I reject the Appellant’s argument. The plain language of the ordinance refers to a “vacation of the space.” Here, the “space” is space A28, a piece of real estate. The 20 Year Lease speaks in terms of “space.” The entire scheme of SPMHP is that the Appellant owns the land and leases the land to the homeowner/tenant who places a mobile home on the space or RE lot designated by the Appellant. Vacating the mobile home does not constitute vacating the space. Appellant contends that the foregoing construction “would render the provision meaningless, as a ‘new unit . . . owned by a new owner’ means there would never be a ‘change of ownership resulting from a vacation.’” I disagree. The Appellant disregards the fact that this portion of SLOMC 5.44.060(C) could reasonably apply to the situation in which a mobile home is removed from a space, i.e., vacates the space, and a new mobile home with a new owner moves into the space. Meanwhile, the Appellant’s interpretation could lead to the absurd conclusion that whenever the homeowner walks out her front door, there has been a “vacation” that renders her subject to a FMV rent increase. C. Whether the Long-Term Lease Exemption applies The Appellant’s third primary argument is that SLOMC 5.44.030(E) expressly exempts “Tenancies covered by leases or contracts which provide for a tenancy of more than a year, but 6 only for the duration of such lease or contract.” Appellant says the 20 Year Lease “qualifies unequivocally” under this exemption. The lease term is for 20 years. The lease begins with a prominent, boldface, all capital letters assertion that “THIS LONG-TERM RENTAL AGREEMENT WILL BE EXEMPT FROM CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO MOBILE HOME PARK RENT STABILIZATION ORDINANCE TITLE 5, CHAPTER 5.44.” The City counters by arguing that the circumstances surrounding the apparent legal disputes between Ms. Valentine and the Appellant mean, that somewhere in the melee, the 20 Year Lease was terminated and that, because the Appellant had permitted Ms. Valentine to continue to occupy the mobile home for a temporary and short time before evacuating, her lease had been converted to a short term one to which SLOMC 5.44.030(E) is not applicable. Indeed, the City says that on August 20, 2025 (long after the legal disputation of the lease began and after June 20, 2025, the date of the alleged violation) the Appellant served a notice of “termination of tenancy” on Ms. Valentine. City’s Brief P5. This notice, the City contends, dissolved the long- term lease and started a new short-term lease. This document came among many others during the squabbles. On this basis, the City argues that SLOMC 5.44.030(E) is not applicable, that SLOMC 5.44.060(C) governs, and that the Appellant is prohibited from raising the rent to FMV.. The Appellant counters that its proposed rental increase upon change of ownership of the mobile home is authorized by the 20 Year Lease and falls within the scope of SLOMC 5.44.030(E). Appellant points out that section 5.2 of the lease provides “the rent shall be increased effective upon the transfer of this Agreement . . . to an amount determined by [Appellant} to be the fair market rental value.” Appellant adds that section 21.1. of the lease mandates assignment of the lease upon the sale of the mobile home. Thus, Appellant argues that the sale of the mobile home by Ms. Valentine did not create a new lease or tenancy, because the 20 Year Lease is mandatorily assigned to the new tenant. The City’s final argument is that the exemption for long term leases under SLOMC 544.030(E) “was a requirement under state law [cites omitted] and that as of January 1, 2025, state law no longer requires that cities with local mobile home stabilization ordinances exempt long-term leases from their ordinances.” City’s Brief P5. For reasons set forth by the Appellant, I conclude that the exemption set forth in SLOMC 5.44.030(E) applies here. Ms. Valentine signed a long term lease and long term leases are explicitly exempt from the rent control ordinance. I decline to conclude that some sort of de facto short-term lease, subject to the strictures of the City’s ordinance, arose out of the ashes of the Appellant-Valentine dispute and thus vitiated the terms of the 20 Year Lease. The fact that the City enacted the SLOMC 5.44.030(E) exemption because it was imposed by state law, and that the state law now no longer requires this exemption, does not change my analysis. (It would seem that, given the change in state law effective January 1, 2025, the City could now amend its ordinance and eliminate SLOMC 5.44.030(E)). 14.
