The Second Appellate District reversed a judgment issuing a peremptory writ of mandate. The court held that the provisions of Gov’t Code §66427.5, regulating conversion of mobilehome parks to resident ownership, did not preclude the City of Los Angeles from imposing requirements mandated by the Mello Act and the Coastal Act on a subdivider who sought to convert a mobilehome park located in the coastal zone.
Pacific Palisades Bowl Mobile Estates, LLC (Palisades Bowl) filed an application with the City of Los Angeles for conversion to resident ownership of its mobilehome park, which was located in the coastal zone. The City rejected the application as incomplete because it failed to include an application for clearance under the Mello Act and an application for a coastal development permit under the Coastal Act.
