Operative Text
In view of the unique nature and issues presented by the closure of conversion of manufactured home parks, the City Council finds that the public health, safety and general welfare will be promoted by requiring relocation assistance and/or compensation to displaced homeowners and residents of such parks. The purpose of this section is to require park owners to pay displaced homeowners and residents reasonable relocation costs and purchasers of manufactured home parks to pay additional compensation, pursuant to the authority granted under Minnesota Statutes Section 327C.095.
Oakdale Code of Ordinances ch. 11, art. 2 § 11-12 establishes the city's rationale and intent for regulating what happens when a manufactured home park closes or is converted to another use. The provision reflects the City Council's determination that displaced homeowners and residents of such parks deserve financial protection in the form of relocation assistance and compensation. It draws its authority from Minnesota Statutes Section 327C.095, which grants municipalities the power to impose these requirements on park owners and purchasers.
