SECTION 1. Section 15 . 14 .010 of the Palm Springs Municipal
Code is hereby amended to read as follows :
15. 14 . 010 Sewers required for ,new construction.
(a) No person shall construct a building without con-
necting such building to a public sewer, unless an
exemption is granted by this chapter, the city manager
or the city council.
(b) Exemptions.
(1) Buildings constructed without plumbing
and thereafter utilizing no plumbing are exempt.
(2) An exemption may be granted by the city
manager in any case where the development involves a
single-family dwelling on a lot of record and the dis-
tance from the lot line to the public sewer is greater
than five hundred feet. Although such an exemption is
granted, the maximum residential connection fee shall
be paid prior to the issuance of a building permit. At
the time of eventual connection of a dwelling given
initial exemption under the terms of this subsection,
any portion of the maximum residential connection fee
that has been paid which is found to exceed the sewer
connection fee schedule of charges currently applicable
at the time to residences shall be refundable.
(3) An exemption may be granted by the city
council in any case (in the sole judgment of the council)
where unusual topographical or other terrain conditions
exist which make the connection to the public sewer im-
practical, unreasonable, unfeasible or impose extreme
economic hardship upon the property owner if he is re-
quired to connect such building to the public sewer
system. It shall be the responsibility of the applicant
for such exemption to provide to the city council such
data or proof as the council deems necessary, including
but not limited to engineering cost estimates and fea-
sibility reports, to substantiate any such application.
(4) In any case where an exemption cannot be
granted pursuant to subsections (2) or (3) above, an
exemption may be granted by the city manager whenever
the city council has by resolution Dr ordinance declared
that the City' s central sewage treatment facilities are
incapable of serving the area involved. A condition of
any such exemption shall be that the maximum sewer connection
fee (otherwise applicable) shall be paid at or prior to the
time of issuance of building permit (s) . A further condi-
tion shall be that there be installed (at the usual time
this would otherwise occur incidental to development) all
sewerage lines, laterals , mains and facilities which would
otherwise be needed or required were the development to be

be physically connected to theApublic system until the City
has given notice at a lateritime that this will be done.
The capping off of the said "dry" lines and facilities , and
distances such lines and facilities shall be kept from the
public mains, shall be as reasonably prescribed by the city
engineer.
(5) Any exemption granted under the provisions
of this section shall require that during the exemption period,
the building or development involved shall be properly and
adequately sewered with a private sewer system designed, con-
structed, installed, and maintained to standards approved by
the city engineer and the Riverside County Health Department,
and additionally in the case ,of developments of five or more
units, to standards and technical requirements prescribed
after review by the Desert Water Agency and the Regional Water
Quality Control Board. An additional condition to the granting
of any exemption pursuant to subsection (2)\ or subsection (4)
above shall be the recording of a covenant running with the
land that, within one year after official notice in the case
of subsection (2) exemptions that an operating public sewer
has been completed within five hundred feet of the permittee ' s
lot line, or within ninety days after official notice in the
case of subsection (4) exemptions that the central treatment
facilities are capable of serving the area, the permittee
(or then owner of record) will extend the private lines the
necessary distance and connect to the public system. Any
such covenant shall also contain an appropriate and reason-
able commitment that the permittee (and successors in in-
terest) will cooperate and participate in any future assess-
ment district proceeding designed to provide adequate public
sewerage mains and facilities to serve the area in which the
permittee ' s land is located.

ORDINANCE NO. 1085
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS,
CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING A MOBILE HOME
RENT REVIEW COMMISSION, ESTABLISHING A
MOBILE HOME SPACE RENTAL ROLLBACK AND
ALLOWING CERTAIN SPACE RENTAL INCREASES.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, DOES ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1 . Policy. A hearing conducted by the City Council on October
18, 1978, and a subsequent survey of mobilehome park tenants established
that there is presently within the City of Palm Springs, California, a
shortage of spaces for the location of mobile homes. Because there is a
shortage there is a low vacancy rate, which has in turn contributed to a
substantial number of recent exorbitant increasers in space rentals. If
these increases continue, some people will be unable to pay, displace-
ments will occur and this will be detrimental to the public health and
welfare. Because of the high cost of moving mobile homes, the potential
for damage resulting therefrom, the requirements relating to the install -
ation of mobile homes, including permits, landscaping and site prepa-
ration, the lack of alternative homesites for mobile home residents and
the substantial investment of mobile homeowners in such homes, the City
Council finds and declares it necessary to protect the owners and
occupants of mobile homes from unreasonable rent increases while at the
same time, recognizing the need of the park owners to receive a "fair
return" on their investment and rental increases sufficient to cover the
increased cost of items such as, land rental , repairs, maintenance,
insurance, upkeep and additional amenities. The City Council believes,
however, that permanent space rent control localized to the City of Palm
Springs would be inconsonant with the system of free enterprise and
initiative, and would tend to aggravate and prolong the shortage of
spaces available to rent, and to discourage investments in mobile home
parks, and to reduce incentive to improve or sustain a desirable environ-
ment within mobile home parks. However, such controls at the present
time on an interim basis are deemed necessary in the public interest
pending a more appropriate response to the problems involved, on a
statewide basis by the California Legislature or electorate.
SECTION 2. Definitions.
(1 ) "Commission. " The Mobile Home Rent Review Commission established
by Section 4 of this Ordinance.
(2) "Members. " Commissioners of the Mobile Home Rent Review
Commission.
(3) "Space Rent. " The consideration, including any bonus, benefits
or gratuity demanded or received in connection with the use and occupancy
of a mobile home space in a mobile home park, or for the transfer of a
lease for park space, services and amenities, subletting and security I
deposits, but exclusive of any amounts paid for the use of the mobile
home dwelling unit.
(4) "Mobile Home Park Owner", "Owner," or "Landlord. " The owner,
lessor, operator or manager of a mobile home park within the purview of
this Ordinance.
(5) "Mobile Home Tenant" or "Tenant. " Any person entitled to
occupy a mobile home dwelling unit pursuant to ownership thereof or a
rental or lease arrangement with the owner thereof.

SECTION 3. S ace rental Moratorium and Rollback. Beginning on the
effective date of th s Ordinance and continuing until June 30, 1980, or
until such time as the State Legislature or electorate establishes a
procedure for the adjustment and/or regulation of space rents on a long-
term basis, whichever occurs first, the maximum rental and incidental
service charges to a tenant each month shall be limited to an amount
determined by the following formula, provided that in no event shall
rent increases occur more than once in any twelve-month period:
The base monthly rental and service charges multiplied by a fraction,
the numerator of which is the latest Consumer Price Index for all Urban
Consumers (Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim Metropolitan area, all items,
Base Period - 1967 equals 100) (CPI) as prepared by the United States
Department of Labor for the month which is two months prior to the
current month for which the calculation is being made and the denomi-
nator of which shall be the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers
(Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim Metropolitan area, all items, Base
Period - 1967 equals 100) (CPI) as prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Labor as of the month which is twelve (12) months preceding the
month used in the numerator. The "base monthly rental and service
charges" are defined as the monthly rental and service charges that
existed on September 30, 1978, or the monthly rental and service charges
that have subsequently been charged pursuant to this Ordinance. Space
rents shall not be increased beyond the amount arrived at by application
of the formula, except as provided in subsection (3) and (5) below
unless any such increase exceeding the formula set forth above is
approved by the Commission as provided hereinafter. The maximum space
rent in the City of Palm Springs shall be subject to the following
provisions:
' (1 ) For a space which was rented as of September 30, 1978, and
continued to be rented thereafter to one or more of the same persons,
the rent shall not exceed that in effect on September 30, 1978 except
that rents may be increased as provided above. The level of park ser-
vices provided to the space on that date shall not be reduced.
(2) For a space which was not rented as of September 30, 1978, but
was subsequently rented and continued to be rented to one or more of the
same persons, the rent shall not exceed that in effect on the date the
rental unit is re-rented after September 30, 1978, so long as such unit
continues to be rented to one or more of the same persons except that
rents may be increased as provided above. The level of park services
provided to the space on the re-rental date shall not be reduced.
(3) For a space voluntarily vacated on or after September 30,
1978, and prior to the expiration of this ordinance, if the vacancy was
voluntary, i .e. , not the result of an eviction, whether for just cause
or otherwise, or the result of owner refusal to renew a periodic tenancy
of lease agreement, then the rent may be increased upon the re-rental of
the space. So long as such space continues to be rented to one or more
of the same persons, such rent shall not exceed that in effect on the
date the space is re-rented, except that rents may be increased as
provided above, nor shall the level of park services provided on that
re-rental date be reduced.
I (4) For spaces vacated other than voluntarily after September 30,
1978, the rent for such space shall not thereafter exceed the rent in
effect immediately prior to such involuntary vacation, unless the space
is subsequently voluntarily vacated, except that rents may be increased
as provided above. The level of park services provided prior to such
involuntary vacation shall not be reduced.
()50
Ord. No. 1085
Page 3
(5) Rents may be adjusted by the Commission to alleviate hard-
ships to owners if they occur, under procedures .set forth in Sections
4 through 7. -
(6) That portion of the maximum rental and incidental service
charges that is allowable pursuant to this section shall be offset and
reduced by two-thirds (2/3) of the excess of the amount of real and
personal property taxes and assessments for the calendar year ending
December 31 , 1977, over the real property and personal property taxes
and assessments for the current calendar year for which the rent compu-
tation is being made unless it can be demonstrated by the owner of a
mobilehome park that such reduction in real or personal property taxes
did not in fact occur, or in the alternative, that credits have already
been granted to the tenants in the form of rebates, reduced rentals or
the absence of any rent increase since December 31 , 1977, (where increases
would have been justified had the above formula .been applied).
(7) Nothing in this Section shall apply to any increase agreed to
in a lease which was entered into prior to September 30, 1978.
SECTION 4. Rent Review Commission.
(1 ) There is hereby created within the City of Palm Springs, a
Mobile Home Rent Review Commission, consisting of five (5) members, the
membership of which shall be appointed by the City Council to serve at
the Council ' s pleasure.
(2) Individuals selected shall be chosen so far as possible from '
individuals with no bias, and toward this end, members may be chosen
from non-residents as well as residents of the City. In this connection,
mobile home owners, renters or park owners should not be appointed
unless the Council feels that such individuals, notwithstanding their in-
volvement, would be fair and impartial in all cases.
(3) Members of the Commission shall serve indefinitely while this
Ordinance remains in effect unless sooner removed by Council . A vacancy
in the Commission shall not impair the right of the remaining members to
exercise the powers of the Commission. Three (3) affirmative votes are
required for a ruling or decision. Members of the Commission shall
comply with Chapter 2. 06 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code in all
aspects where it is not inconsistent with this Ordinance.
(4) All candidates for commissioner shall disclose in a verified
statement all present holdings and interests in real property, including
interests in corporations, trusts, or other entities with holdings in
real property within this jurisdiction as defined by California Govern-
ment Code Section 82035. Such disclosure shall be filed with the City
Clerk not less than ten (10) days after their appointment. Disclosure
of holdings required herein shall be in addition to any other disclosure
required by State or local law for holders of public office.
(5) Members of the Commission shall not be compensated for their I
services on the Commission, but shall be entitled to receive the sum of
thirty dollars ($30.00) per person, per hearing, with a maximum of sixty
dollars ($60.00) per day, when hearing complaints from the tenants of a
park with respect to a rent increase by the park, ownership as herein-
after provided.

(9) The conclusions and findings of the Commission shall be final
and there shall be no appeal rights to the City Council .
SECTION 8. Tenant' s Right of Refusal . A tenant may refuse to pay any
increase in rent which is in violation of this Ordinance provided a
petition has been filed with the Commission and approved by the Commission
after a hearing, and such violation shall be a defense in any action
brought to recover possession of a rental unit or to collect the illegally
charged rent increase. This shall be the sole and exclusive remedy
available to an aggrieved tenant.
SECTION 9. Retaliatory Eviction. Notwithstanding Section 8 above, in
any action brought to recover possession of a rental unit the court may
I consider as grounds for denial any violation of any provision of this
Article. Further, the determination that the action was brought in
retaliation for the exercise of any rights conferred by this Ordinance
shall be grounds for denial . Any action brought within three (3) months
of the determination of a petition or complaint filed with the Board by
the tenant pursuant to this Ordinance shall be presumed to be retaliatory;
this presumption affects the burden of proof, and is rebuttable by the
owner.

ORDINANCE NO. 1090
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS,
CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING A M013ILE HOME
RENT REVIEW COMMISSION, ESTABLISHING A
MOBILE HOME SPACE RENTAL ROLLBACK, ALLOWING
CERTAIN SPACE RENTAL INCREASE'S AND REPEAL-
ING- ORDINANCE NO. 1085 AND ALL ORDINANCES
AND PARTS OF ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT HEREWITH.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, DOES ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1 . Policy. A hearing conducted by the City Council on October
18, 1978, and a subsequent survey of mobilehome park tenants established
that there is presently within the City of Palm Springs, California, a
shortage of spaces for the location of mobile homes. Because there is a
shortage there is a low vacancy rate, which has in turn contributed to a
substantial number of recent excessive increases in space rentals. If
these increases continue, some people will be unable to pay, displace-
ments will occur and this will be detrimental to the public health and
welfare. Because of the high cost of moving mobile homes, the potential
for damage resulting therefrom, the requirements relating to the install -
ation of mobile homes, including permits, landscaping and site prepa-
ration, the lack of alternative homesites for mobile home residents and
the substantial investment of mobile homeowners in such homes, the City
Council finds and declares it necessary to protect the owners and
occupants of mobile homes from excessive rent increases while at the
same time, recognizing the need of the park owners to receive a "just
and reasonable return" on their property and rental increases sufficient
to cover the increased cost of items such as, land rental , repairs,
maintenance, insurance, upkeep and additional amenities. The City
Council believes, however, that permanent space rent control localized
to the City of Palm Springs would be inconsonant: with the system of free
enterprise and initiative, and would tend to aggravate and prolong the
shortage of spaces available to rent, and to discourage investments in
mobile home parks, and to reduce incentive to improve or sustain a
desirable environment within mobile home parks. However, such controls
at the present time on an interim basis are deemed necessary in the
public interest pending a more appropriate response to the problems
involved, on a statewide basis by the California Legislature or electorate.
SECTION 2. Definitions.
(1 ) "Commission. " The Mobile Home Rent Review Commission established
by Section 4 of this Ordinance.
(2) "Members. " Commissioners of the Mobile Home Rent Review
Commission.
(3) "Space Rent. " The consideration, including any bonus, benefits
or gratuity demanded or received in connection with the use and occupancy
of a mobile home space in a mobile home park, or for the transfer of a
lease for park space, services and amenities, subletting and security
deposits, but exclusive of any amounts paid for the use of the mobile
home dwelling unit.
(4) "Mobile Home Park Owner" , "Owner," or "Landlord. " The owner,
lessor, operator or manager of a mobile home park within the purview of
this Ordinance.

(5) "Mobile Home Tenant" or "Tenant. " Any person entitled to
occupy a mobile home dwelling unit pursuant to ownership thereof or a
rental or lease arrangement with the owner thereof provided that each
mobile home park space shall be limited to one signature on a petition
as set forth hereinafter, notwithstanding the fact that a space may be
occupied by more than one tenant.
SECTION 3. Space rental Moratorium and Rollback. Beginning on the
effective date of this Ordinance and continuing until June 30, 1980, or
until such time as the State Legislature or electorate establishes a
procedure for the adjustment and/or regulation of space rents on a long-
term basis, whichever occurs first, the maximum rental and incidental
service charges to a tenant each month shall be limited to an amount
determined by the following formula, provided that in no event shall
rent increases occur more than once in any twelve-month period.
FORMULA
The base monthly rental and service charges multiplied by a fraction,
the numerator of which is the latest Consumer Price Index for all Urban
Consumers (Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim Metropolitan area, all items,
Base Period - 1967 equals 100) (CPI) as prepared by the United States
Department of Labor for the month which is two months prior to the
month during which the calculation must be made in order to give a
60-day notice to tenants as required by law, and the denominator of
which shall be the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (Los
Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim Metropolitan area, all items, Base Period -
1967 equals 100) (CPI) as prepared by the United States Department of
Labor as of the month which is twelve (12) months preceding the month
used in the numerator. The "base monthly rental and service charges"
are defined as the monthly rental and service charges that existed on
September 30, 1978, or the monthly rental and service charges that have
subsequently been charged pursuant to this Ordinance. Space rents shall
not be increased beyond the amount arrived at by application of the
formula, except as provided in subsection (3) and (5) below unless any
such increase exceeding the formula set forth above is approved by the
Commission as provided hereinafter. The maximum space rent in the City
of Palm Springs shall be subject to the following provisions:
(1 ) For a space which was rented as of September 30, 1978, and
continued to be rented thereafter to one or more of the same persons,
the rent shall not exceed that in effect on September 30, 1978 except
that rents may be increased as provided above. The level of park ser-
vices provided to the space on that date shall not be reduced.
(2) For a space which was not rented as of September 30, 1978, but
was subsequently rented and continued to be rented to one or more of the
same persons, the rent shall not exceed that in effect on the date the
rental unit is re-rented after September 30, 1978, so 'long as such unit
continues to be rented to one or more of the same persons except that
rents may be increased as provided above. The level of park services
provided to the space on the re-rental date shall not be reduced.
(3) For a space voluntarily vacated on or after September 30,
1978, and prior to the expiration of this ordinance, if the vacancy was
voluntary, i.e. , not the result of an eviction, whether for just cause
or otherwise, or the result of owner refusal to renew a periodic tenancy
of lease agreement, then the rent may be increased upon the re-rental of
the space. So long as such space continues to be rented to one or more
of the same persons, such rent shall not exceed that in effect on the
date the space is re-rented, except that rents may be increased as
provided above, nor shall the level of park services provided on that
re-rental date be reduced.
Ord. No. 1090
Page 3
(4) For spaces vacated other than voluntarily after September 30,
1978, the rent for such space shall not thereafter exceed the rent in
effect immediately prior to such involuntary vacation, unless the space
is subsequently voluntarily vacated, except that: rents may be increased
as provided above. The level of park services provided prior to such
involuntary vacation shall not be reduced.
(5) Rents may be adjusted by the Commission to alleviate hardships
to owners if they occur, under procedures set forth in Sections 4 through
7.
(6) That portion of the maximum rental and incidental service
charges that is allowable pursuant to this section shall be offset and
reduced by two-thirds (2/3) of the excess of the amount of real and
personal property taxes and assessments for the calendar year ending
December 31 , 1977, over the real property and personal property taxes
and assessments for the current calendar year for which the rent compu-
tation is being made unless it can be demonstrated by the owner of a
mobilehome park that such reduction in real or personal property taxes
did not in fact occur, or in the alternative, that credits have already
been granted to the tenants in the form of rebates, reduced rentals or
the absence of any rent increase since December 31 , 1977, (where in-
creases would have been justified had the above formula been applied) .
(7) Nothing in this Section shall apply to any increase agreed to
in a lease which was entered into prior to September 30, 1978.
SECTION 4. Rent Review Commission. '
(1 ) There is hereby created within the City of Palm Springs, a
Mobile Nome Rent Review Commission, consisting of five (5) members, the
membership of which shall be appointed by the City Council to serve at
the Council ' s pleasure.
(2) Individuals selected shall be chosen so far as possible from
individuals with no bias, and toward this end, members may be chosen
from non-residents as well as residents of the City. In this connection,
mobile home owners, renters or park owners should not be appointed
unless the Council feels that such individuals, notwithstanding their
involvement, would be fair and impartial in all cases.
(3) Members of the Commission shall serve indefinitely while this
Ordinance remains in effect unless sooner removed by Council . A vacancy
in the Commission shall not impair the right of the remaining members to
exercise the powers of the Commission. Three (3) affirmative votes are
required for a ruling or decision. Members of the Commission shall
comply with Chapter 2.06 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code in all
aspects where it is not inconsistent with this Ordinance.

real property within this jurisdiction as defined by California Govern-
ment Code Section 82035. Such disclosure shall be filed with the City
Clerk not less than ten (10) days after their appointment. Disclosure
of holdings required herein shall be in addition to any other disclosure
required by State or local law for holders of public office.

charged rent increase. This shall be the sole and exclusive remedy
available to an aggrieved tenant.
SECTION 9. Retaliatory Eviction. Notwithstanding Section 8 above, in
any action brought to recover possession of a rental unit 'the court may

service charges and sewer connection fees. Such fires and charges were pre-
viously adjusted by resolution of the City Council , pursuant to Municipal Code
Section 15.24.010, and were adjusted in the same manner by Resolution 12671 , on

resolution, pursuant to Municipal Code Section 15.24.010, is a more practical
legislative procedure.

1979, but shall not be repealed until such time as there shall be a final
determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that the adjustment of sewer
service charges and sewer connection fees does not constitute imposition of a '
tax as that term is used in Article XIII A of the California Constitution; or
until further action of the City Council .
SECTION 3, EFFECTIVE DATE. This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect
thirty (30) days after passage, and shall become operative on July 1 , 1979.
SECTION 4. PUBLICATION. The City Clerk is hereby ordered and directed to
certify to the passage of this Ordinance, and to cause same to be published
