Restrictions on Housing?
The Las Vegas Sun published an article on the Clark County moratorium on mobile home park conversion. The dwindling supply of affordable housing in the Las Vegas Valley has the Clark County Commission on the verge of restricting property rights of mobile home park owners. The commission is considering placing an 18-month moratorium on the conversion of mobile home parks to high-rise condos or other uses.
Critics say the ordinance — intended to protect poor, disabled and elderly mobile home park residents from homelessness — would single out park owners with restrictions that don’t apply to anyone else. The ordinance, scheduled to come before the commission Feb. 8, would ban redevelopment of all mobile home parks, including projects that are consistent with existing county codes and zoning. Other property owners face opposition only if their projects don’t meet codes or require a zoning change or special-use permit.
