Within 10 days after service of a notice of increase, as provided in CVMC 9.50.063, the park owner shall hold an informal meeting for the benefit of the affected residents to discuss the increase. It is hoped that such a meeting may lead to voluntary settlement of the dispute.

The meeting should be set for a time and date believed to be convenient for residents and may be changed to a different date based on the reasonable request of the majority of affected residents.

If a resident does not attend this meeting or is not represented by someone, he or she shall have no right to a hearing but may rely on other residents of the mobilehome park to cause a public hearing to be scheduled. The decision of the Mobilehome Rent Review Commission shall be applicable to all affected homeowners.

In the event that more than 50 percent of the resident(s) and park owner reach a voluntary written agreement of the increase in space rent, the rent shall be fixed as specified in CVMC 9.50.075. Should the affected resident(s) and the park owner be unable to reach a voluntary settlement of the dispute in the increase in space rent, the resident shall be entitled to file a “Request for Hearing” form as permitted in CVMC 9.50.066 and 9.50.070. (Ord. 3255 § 1, 2013; Ord. 3195 § 1, 2011; Ord. 2862 § 1, 2002).
