Yountville Town Council Discussion of Rancho de Napa (Update)

 "Mobile home units in a mobile home park in the senior mobile home overlay zone shall be occupied only consistent with the definition in Section 17.44.020 so that at least 80% of spaces and mobile home units are rented and occupied by at least one person who is age 55 or older. The age restriction stated herein does not apply to or affect ownership of mobile home units, but is occupancy requirement."

Some residents believe that this will lead to more investor ownership and renter occupancy and higher prices for owner/occupants. 

Information about the meeting on on 9/21 is here.   

Update:  Town of Younville 'Senior Mobile Home Overlay" is available here.
