Summary
The San Dimas City Council voted to renew the San Dimas Mobile Home Accord for a five-year term starting July 1, 2026, after staff said park owners unanimously agreed to the renewal and staff recommended no changes to the existing terms.
The San Dimas City Council voted to renew the San Dimas Mobile Home Accord for a five-year term beginning July 1, 2026, and running through June 30, 2031, after staff told the council the city’s five park owners had unanimously agreed to an extension without changes.
The accord, first adopted in 1995 and renewed periodically, sets parameters for base rents, allowable pass-through costs and procedures for rent increases. City staff told the council the current accord includes a pass-through provision added in 2021 to allow parties to reopen negotiations if a property tax or other cost shift occurred; staff recommended retaining that language as a precaution. Staff also said the accord’s CPI provision currently ranges from 3% to 7% with a 90-day notice requirement before any increase.
City staff described outreach undertaken as part of the renewal process: letters were mailed to park owners on Jan. 29, 2026, and letters and copies of the accord were delivered to residents at each park (906 residents notified). Staff reported receiving written communications from two residents expressing concerns, and staff said those concerns were addressed during follow-up meetings with park leadership. During the presentation staff listed the five parks and unit counts: Charter Oak Mobile Home Estates (185 units); Cienega Valley Estates (242 units); Lone Hill Manor Mobile Home Estates (265 units); Mobile Land (103 units); and San Dimas Royal (111 units).
Several residents spoke at public comment beforehand, including a resident of Cienega Valley Estates who said the accord has helped protect mobile homeowners and praised city staff for outreach. Council members thanked staff for facilitating negotiations and preserving the voluntary compromise between park owners and residents.
Council member [Council member Ravenna] moved to approve the renewal as recommended by staff; a second was recorded. The clerk recorded the voice vote as passing “4 0 and 1.” The council did not identify individual roll-call names in the transcript; staff will execute the renewed agreement as authorized by the San Dimas Housing Authority.
The renewed accord will be executed by the executive director of the San Dimas Housing Authority or his designee and is intended to continue the currently agreed terms for the five-year period starting July 1, 2026.
