• Mobile Home Park Relocation Assistance
Planner William Osborne presented an overview of the proposed updates to Kent's Mobile
Home Park Code For those owners wishing to close a mobile home park, they would need to
submit to the City of Kent for review and approval plans that guide and direct the closure
Chair Harmon asked if there was language in the ordinance to pre-empt park closure Mr
Osborne responded that any land use action for the mobile home park would require submittal
and approval of a relocation plan
In response to Chair Harmon's question regarding appeals, Kim Adams-Pratt stated language
could be added to allow appeals, probably designating plan approval as a Process I application
appealable to the Hearing Examiner. Chair Harmon desires a "level playing field" for both
owner and tenant and the ability for both to have available a process for appealing the
determination of the Human Services Manager regarding the relocation assistance plan
Responding to Mr. Thomas, Mr Osborne stated there were 23 mobile home parks in Kent.
Notices of the workshop were sent to owners and tenant spaces in mobile home parks located
both in Kent and in the Potential Annexation Area of Kent Approximately 300 mailings were
returned, perhaps because some tenants have PO Boxes rather than mailboxes at the park
Steve Dowell moved and Les Thomas seconded a motion to send this issue to a public hearing
on August 26 at 7 00 PM Motion passed Discussion occurred on means of notification for the
public hearing.
. The meeting was adjourned at 7 35 PM.
