No enforcement agency shall approve any park fronting upon any coastline, shoreline, river, or waterway or upon any lake or reservoir owned in whole or part by any public agency, including the state, unless the city, county, or city and county having jurisdiction over the property has determined that reasonable public access by fee or easement from public highways exists to the coastline, shoreline, river, waterway, lake or reservoir.

Local Administration [1840 - 1843] ( Article 4 added by Stats. 2020, Ch. 138, Sec. 4. ) ## 1843. In addition to the requirements of Section 1841, a local EMS agency that elects to develop a triage to alternate destination program shall do all of the following: (a) (1) Develop a plan that includes existing advanced life supports (ALS) providers, including public agencies, operating in the proposed program area to deliver the triage to alternate destination services. An ALS provider operating in the area may opt out of the plan. If an ALS provider chooses to opt out of the plan, the local EMS agency may, in order to achieve the plan goals, select another existing ALS provider operating within the agency’s jurisdiction to provide the triage to alternate destination services in the operational area where the ALS provider has opted out. (A) The plan shall recognize existing operational boundaries of ALS providers and basic life support (BLS) providers providing emergency medical transport services pursuant to Section 1797.201 or 1797.224 in the proposed program area. (B) An ALS provider providing emergency medical transport services pursuant to Section 1797.201 may contract with private providers to deliver triage to alternate destination services in the proposed program areas. This subparagraph does not impair or alter an existing right to contract or provide for administration of emergency medical services pursuant to Section 1797.201. (C) An ALS provider who is authorized to provide emergency medical transport services pursuant to Section 1797.224 may enter into agreements with public agency ALS providers to deliver the triage to alternate destination program specialties. This subparagraph does not impair or alter an existing right to provide emergency medical transportation services pursuant to Section 1797.224. This subparagraph does not confer to the parties of the agreement a right to provide emergency medical transportation services pursuant to Section 1797.224. (2) A local EMS agency may exclude an existing ALS provider from the plan if it determines that the provider’s participation will negatively impact patient care. If a local EMS agency elects to exclude an ALS provider, the EMS agency shall do both of the following: (A) Report to the authority at the time the program is submitted for approval, the specific reasons for excluding an ALS provider. (B) Inform the ALS provider of the reasons for exclusion. (b) Facilitate any necessary agreements to ensure continuity of care and efficient transfer of care between the triage to alternate destination program provider and the existing emergency medical transport provider to ensure transport to the appropriate facility. (c) At the discretion of the local EMS medical director, develop additional triage and assessment protocols commensurate with the need of the local programs authorized under this chapter. (d) Certify and provide documentation and updates to the Emergency Medical Services Authority showing that the alternate destination facility authorized to receive patients maintains adequate licensed medical and professional staff, facilities, and equipment that comply with the requirements of the Emergency Medical Services Authority’s regulations and the provisions of this chapter. (e) Secure an agreement with the alternate destination facility that requires the facility to notify the local EMS agency within 24 hours if there are changes in the status of the facility with respect to protocols and the facility’s ability to care for patients. (f) Secure an agreement with the alternate destination that requires the facility to operate in accordance with Section 1317. The agreement shall provide that failure to operate in accordance with Section 1317 will result in the immediate termination of use of the facility as part of the triage to alternate destination facility. (g) In implementing a triage to alternate destination program specialties described in Section 1819, continue to use, and coordinate with, any emergency medical transport providers operating within the jurisdiction of the local EMS agency pursuant to Section 1797.201 or 1797.224. The local EMS agency shall not in any manner eliminate or reduce the services of the emergency medical transport providers. (h) Establish a process for training and accreditation of triage paramedics in each of the proposed triage to alternate destination program’s specialties described in Section 1819.

General Provisions [18550 - 18605] ( Article 1 added by Stats. 1967, Ch. 1056. ) ## 18551. The department shall establish regulations for manufactured home, mobilehome, and commercial modular foundation systems that shall be applicable throughout the state. When established, these regulations supersede any ordinance enacted by any city, county, or city and county applicable to manufactured home, mobilehome, and commercial modular foundation systems. The department may approve alternate foundation systems to those provided by regulation if the department is satisfied of equivalent performance. The department shall document approval of alternate systems by its stamp of approval on the plans and specifications for the alternate foundation system. A manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular may be installed on a foundation system as either a fixture or improvement to the real property, in accordance with subdivision (a), or a manufactured home or mobilehome may be installed on a foundation system as a chattel, in accordance with subdivision (b). (a) Notwithstanding any other law, prior to a manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular being deemed a fixture or improvement to the real property, the installation shall comply with all of the following: (1) Prior to installation of a manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular on a foundation system, the manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular owner or a licensed contractor shall obtain a building permit from the appropriate enforcement agency. To obtain a permit, the owner or contractor shall provide the following: (A) Written evidence acceptable to the enforcement agency that the manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular owner owns, holds title to, or is purchasing the real property where the mobilehome is to be installed on a foundation system. A lease held by the manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular owner, that is transferable, for the exclusive use of the real property where the manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular is to be installed, shall be deemed to comply with this paragraph if the lease is for a term of 35 years or more, or if less than 35 years, for a term mutually agreed upon by the lessor and lessee, and the term of the lease is not revocable at the discretion of the lessor except for cause, as described in subdivisions 2 to 5, inclusive, of Section 1161 of the Code of Civil Procedure. Notwithstanding Section 18555, a registered owner of a manufactured home or mobilehome in a mobilehome park that is converted or proposed to be converted to a resident-owned subdivision formed pursuant to Section 11010.8 of the Business and Professions Code, stock cooperative, as defined in Section 4190 of the Civil Code, or condominium project, as defined in Section 4125 of the Civil Code, may submit written evidence of that owner’s resident ownership in the mobilehome park in order to comply with this paragraph. (B) Written evidence acceptable to the enforcement agency that the registered owner owns the manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular free of any liens or encumbrances or, in the event that the legal owner is not the registered owner, or liens and encumbrances exist on the manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular, written evidence provided by the legal owner and any lienors or encumbrancers that the legal owner, lienor, or encumbrancer consents to the attachment of the manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular upon the discharge of any personal lien, that may be conditioned upon the satisfaction by the registered owner of the obligation secured by the lien. (C) Plans and specifications required by department regulations or a department-approved alternate for the manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular foundation system. (D) The manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular manufacturer’s installation instructions, or plans and specifications signed by a California-licensed architect or engineer covering the installation of an individual manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular in the absence of the manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular manufacturer’s instructions. (E) Building permit fees established by ordinance or regulation of the appropriate enforcement agency. (F) A fee payable to the department in the amount of eleven dollars ($11) for each transportable section of the manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular, that shall be transmitted to the department at the time the certificate of occupancy is issued with a copy of the building permit and any other information concerning the manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular that the department may prescribe on forms provided by the department. (2) (A) Within five business days of the issuance of the certificate of occupancy for the manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular by the appropriate enforcement agency, the enforcement agency shall record a document naming the owner of the real property, describing the real property with certainty, and stating that a manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular has been affixed to that real property by installation on a foundation system pursuant to this subdivision. The document shall be recorded with the county recorder of the county where the real property, upon which the manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular that has been installed, is situated. (B) When recorded, the document referred to in subparagraph (A) shall be indexed by the county recorder to the named owner and shall be deemed to give constructive notice as to its contents to all persons thereafter dealing with the real property. (C) Fees received by the department pursuant to subparagraph (F) of paragraph (1) shall be deposited in the Mobilehome-Manufactured Home Revolving Fund established under subdivision (a) of Section 18016.5. (3) The certification of title and other indicia of registration shall be surrendered to the department pursuant to regulations adopted by the department providing for the cancellation of registration of a manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular that is permanently attached to the ground on a foundation system pursuant to this subdivision. For the purposes of this subdivision, permanent affixation to a foundation system shall be deemed to have occurred on the day a certificate of occupancy is issued to the manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular owner and the document referred to in subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2) is recorded. Cancellation shall be effective as of that date and the department shall enter the cancellation on its records upon receipt of a copy of the certificate of occupancy. This subdivision shall not be construed to affect the application of existing laws, or the department’s regulations or procedures with regard to the cancellation of registration, except as to the requirement therefor and the effective date thereof. (4) Once installed on a foundation system in compliance with this subdivision, a manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular shall be deemed a fixture and a real property improvement to the real property to which it is affixed. Physical removal of the manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular shall thereafter be prohibited without the consent of all persons or entities who, at the time of removal, have title to any estate or interest in the real property to which the manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular is affixed. (5) For the purposes of this subdivision: (A) “Physical removal” shall include, without limitation, the unattaching of the manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular from the foundation system, except for temporary purposes of repair or improvement thereto. (B) Consent to removal shall not be required from the owners of rights-of-way or easements or the owners of subsurface rights or interests in or to minerals, including, but not limited to, oil, gas, or other hydrocarbon substances. (6) At least 30 days prior to a legal removal of the manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular from the foundation system and transportation away from the real property to which it was formerly affixed, the manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular owner shall notify the department and the county assessor of the intended removal of the manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular. The department shall require written evidence that the necessary consents have been obtained pursuant to this section and shall require application for either a transportation permit or manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular registration, as the department may decide is appropriate to the circumstances. Immediately upon removal, as defined in this section, the manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular shall be deemed to have become personal property and subject to all laws governing the same as applicable to a manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular. (b) The installation of a manufactured home or a mobilehome on a foundation system as chattel shall be in accordance with Section 18613 and shall be deemed to meet or exceed the requirements of Section 18613.4. This subdivision shall not be construed to affect the application of sales and use or property taxes. No provisions of this subdivision are intended, nor shall they be construed, to affect the ownership interest of any owner of a manufactured home or mobilehome. (c) Once installed on a foundation system, a manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular shall be subject to state-enforced health and safety standards for manufactured homes, mobilehomes, or commercial modulars enforced pursuant to Section 18020. (d) No local agency shall require that any manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial modular currently on private property be placed on a foundation system. (e) No local agency shall require that any manufactured home or mobilehome located in a mobilehome park be placed on a foundation system. (f) No local agency shall require, as a condition for the approval of the conversion of a rental mobilehome park to a resident-owned park, including, but not limited to, a subdivision, stock cooperative, or condominium project for mobilehomes, that any manufactured home or mobilehome located there be placed on a foundation system. This subdivision shall only apply to the conversion of a rental mobilehome park that has been operated as a rental mobilehome park for a minimum period of five years.

(c) If the manufactured home or mobilehome is subject to local property taxation, and subject to registration under Part 2 (commencing with Section 18000), the escrow officer shall forward to the tax collector of the county where the used manufactured home or mobilehome is located, a written demand for a tax clearance certificate if no liability exists, or a conditional tax clearance certificate if a tax liability exists, to be provided on a form prescribed by the Controller. The conditional tax clearance certificate shall state the amount of the tax liability due, if any, and the final date that amount may be paid out of the proceeds of escrow before a further tax liability may be incurred. (1) Within five working days of receipt of the written demand for a conditional tax clearance certificate or a tax clearance certificate, the county tax collector shall forward the conditional tax clearance certificate or a tax clearance certificate showing that no tax liability exists to the requesting escrow officer. In the event the tax clearance certificate’s or conditional tax clearance certificate’s final due date expires within 30 days of the date of issuance, an additional conditional tax clearance certificate or a tax clearance certificate shall be completed that has a final due date of at least 30 days beyond the date of issuance. (2) If the tax collector to whom the written demand for a tax clearance certificate or a conditional tax clearance certificate was made fails to comply with that demand within 30 days from the date the demand was mailed, the escrow officer may close the escrow and submit a statement of facts certifying that the written demand was made on the tax collector and the tax collector failed to comply with that written demand within 30 days. This statement of facts shall be accepted by the department and all other parties to the conversion in lieu of a conditional tax clearance certificate or a tax clearance certificate, as prescribed by subdivision (a) of Section 18092.7, and the conversion of the manufactured home or mobilehome to a fixture and improvement to the underlying real property may be completed. (3) The escrow officer may satisfy the terms of the conditional tax clearance certificate by paying the amount of tax liability shown on the form by the tax collector out of the proceeds of escrow on or before the date indicated on the form and by certifying in the space provided on the form that all terms and conditions of the conditional tax clearance certificate have been complied with. (d) (1) On the same or following day that the escrow required by subdivision (b) is closed, the escrow agent shall record, or cause to be recorded, with the county recorder of the county where the converted manufactured home or mobilehome is situated, the form prescribed by paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) stating that the manufactured home or mobilehome has been converted to a fixture and improvement to the underlying real property pursuant to this section. (2) When recorded, the form referred to in paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) shall be indexed by the county recorder to the named owner of the converted manufactured home or mobilehome, and shall be deemed to give constructive notice as to its contents to all persons thereafter dealing with the real property. (e) The department shall cancel the registration of a manufactured home or mobilehome converted to a fixture and improvement to the underlying real property pursuant to this section. For the purposes of this subdivision, conversion of the manufactured home to a fixture and improvement to the underlying real property shall be deemed to have occurred on the day a form referred to in paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) is recorded. Cancellation shall be effective as of that date, and the department shall enter the cancellation on its records upon receipt of a copy of the form recorded pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (c), the certificate of title, the current registration card, other indicia of registration, and fees prescribed by this section. This subdivision shall not be construed to affect the application of existing laws, or the department’s regulations or procedures with regard to the cancellation of registration, except as to the requirement therefor and the effective date thereof. (f) Once the form referred to in paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) has been recorded, a manufactured home or mobilehome shall be deemed a fixture and improvement to the underlying real property described with certainty on the form. Physical removal of the manufactured home or mobilehome from the real property where it has become a fixture and improvement pursuant to this section shall thereafter be prohibited without the consent of all persons or entities who, at the time of removal, have title to any estate or interest in the real property where the manufactured home or mobilehome has become a fixture and improvement. (g) For the purposes of this section: (1) “Physical removal” shall include, without limitation, the manufactured home, mobilehome, or any transportable section thereof, from the real property where it has become a fixture and improvement. (2) Consent to removal shall not be required from the owners of rights-of-way or easements or the owners of subsurface rights or interests in or to minerals, including, but not limited to, oil, gas, or other hydrocarbon substances. (h) At least 30 days prior to a legal removal of the manufactured home or mobilehome from the real property where it has become a fixture and improvement and transportation away from the real property, the manufactured home or mobilehome owner shall notify the department and the county assessor of the intended removal of the manufactured home or mobilehome. The department shall require written evidence that the necessary consents have been obtained pursuant to this section, and shall require application for either a transportation permit or manufactured home or mobilehome registration, as the department may decide is appropriate to the circumstances. Immediately upon removal, as defined in this section, the manufactured home or mobilehome shall be deemed to have become personal property and subject to all laws governing the same as applicable to a manufactured home or mobilehome. (i) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any manufactured home or mobilehome not installed on a foundation system pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 18551 or converted to a fixture and improvement to real property as prescribed by this section shall not be deemed a fixture or improvement to the real property. This subdivision shall not be construed to affect the application of sales and use or property taxes. (j) Once converted to a fixture and improvement to real property, a manufactured home or mobilehome shall be subject to state-enforced health and safety standards for manufactured homes or mobilehomes enforced pursuant to Section 18020. (k) No local agency shall require, as a condition for the approval of the conversion of a rental mobilehome park to a resident-owned park, including, but not limited to, a subdivision, cooperative, condominium, or nonprofit corporation formed pursuant to Section 11010.8 of the Business and Professions Code for manufactured homes or mobilehomes, that any manufactured home or mobilehome located there be converted to a fixture and improvement to the underlying real property. ( l) The department is authorized to adopt emergency regulations in accordance with Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code in order to implement the purposes of this section.

Mobilehome and Special Occupancy Park Lots [18610 - 18614] ( Heading of Article 2 amended by Stats. 1988, Ch. 799, Sec. 34. ) ## 18613. (a) (1) A permit shall be obtained from the enforcement agency each time a manufactured home or mobilehome is to be located, installed, or reinstalled, on any site for the purpose of human habitation or occupancy as a dwelling. (2) For purposes of this section, the terms “located,” “installed,” and “reinstalled” include alteration, modification, or replacement of the mobilehome stabilizing devices, load-bearing supports, or both. (b) The contractor engaged to install the manufactured home or mobilehome shall obtain the permit, except when the owner of the manufactured home or mobilehome proposes to perform the installation. When a contractor applies for a permit to install a manufactured home or mobilehome, he or she shall display a valid contractor’s license. The contractor shall complete the installation of the manufactured home or mobilehome in accordance with the regulations adopted by the department within the time limitations which shall be established by regulations of the department. The time limitations shall allow contractors a reasonable amount of time within which to complete manufactured home or mobilehome installations. (c) If inspection of the manufactured home or mobilehome installation by the enforcement agency determines that the manufactured home or mobilehome cannot be approved for occupancy due to defective material, systems, workmanship, or equipment of the manufactured home or mobilehome, the contractor shall be allowed a reasonable amount of time, as determined by regulations of the department, to complete the installation after the defects in the manufactured home or mobilehome have been corrected. (d) The enforcement agency shall immediately notify the department whenever any manufactured home or mobilehome cannot be approved for occupancy due to defects of the manufactured home or mobilehome. The report of notification shall indicate health and safety defects and, in the case of new manufactured homes or mobilehomes, substantial defects of materials and workmanship. For purposes of this section, “substantial defects of materials and workmanship” means defects objectively manifested by broken, ripped, cracked, stained, or missing parts or components and shall not include alleged defects concerning color combinations or grade of materials used. If the manufactured home or mobilehome fails the installation inspection because of conditions which do not endanger the health or safety of the occupant, the owner may occupy the manufactured home or mobilehome. If, however, the installation fails inspection due to immediate hazards to the health or safety of the occupant, as determined by the enforcement agency, the manufactured home or mobilehome shall not be occupied. (e) Except as provided in Section 18930, the department shall adopt regulations for the installations and regulations which specify a standard form required to be used statewide by enforcement agencies as a certificate of occupancy or statement of installation acceptance. The department shall transmit a copy of the standard form to all enforcement agencies. An enforcement agency shall not be required to use the standard forms until their existing stock of forms for this purpose is depleted. The regulations adopted by the department pursuant to this section shall establish the requirements which the department determines are reasonably necessary for the protection of life and property and to carry out the purposes of this section. In adopting building regulations or adopting other regulations pursuant to this section, the department shall consider reassembly of the manufactured home or mobilehome, stabilizing devices and load-bearing supports, and utility connections and connectors. (f) The department shall establish a schedule of fees for the permits required by this section commensurate with the cost of the enforcement of this section and the regulations adopted pursuant to this section. Where a city, county, or city and county is responsible for the enforcement, the city, county, or city and county may establish a schedule of fees not to exceed the actual cost of enforcement and not to exceed those fees established by the department where the department is the enforcement agency. Permit fees and reinspection fees shall be paid to the enforcement agency by the permittee. (g) This section does not apply to recreational vehicles or commercial coaches.

(a) This part applies to all parts of the state and supersedes any ordinance enacted by any city, county, or city and county, whether general law or chartered, applicable to this part. Except as provided in Section 18930, the department may adopt regulations to interpret and make specific this part and, when adopted, the regulations shall apply to all parts of the state. (b) Upon 30 days’ written notice from the governing body to the department, any city, county, or city and county may assume the responsibility for the enforcement of both this part and Part 2.1 (commencing with Section 18200) and the regulations adopted pursuant to this part following approval by the department for the assumption. (c) The department shall adopt regulations that set forth the conditions for assumption and may include required qualifications of local enforcement agencies. The conditions set forth and the qualifications required in the regulations shall relate solely to the ability of local agencies to enforce properly this part and the regulations adopted pursuant to this part. The regulations shall not set forth requirements for local agencies different than those that the state maintains for its own enforcement program. When assumption is approved, the department shall transfer the responsibility for enforcement to the city, county, or city and county, together with all records of special occupancy parks within the jurisdiction of the city, county, or city and county. (d) (1) In the event of nonenforcement of this part or the regulations adopted pursuant to this part by a city, county, or city and county, the department shall enforce both this part and Part 2.1 (commencing with Section 18200) and the regulations adopted pursuant to this part and Part 2.1 in the city, county, or city and county, after the department has given written notice to the governing body of the city, county, or city and county, setting forth in what respects the city, county, or city and county has failed to discharge its responsibility, and the city, county, or city and county has failed to initiate corrective measures to carry out its responsibility within 30 days of the notice. (2) Where the department determines that the local enforcement agency is not properly enforcing this part, the local enforcement agency may appeal the decision to the director of the department. (e) (1) Any city, city and county, or county may cancel its assumption of responsibility for the enforcement of both this part and Part 2.1 (commencing with Section 18200) by providing written notice of cancellation to the department. The department shall assume responsibility within 90 days after receipt of the notice. (2) A local enforcement agency that has been approved by the department to enforce the provisions of this chapter and cancels its assumption of responsibility and returns enforcement to the department under paragraph (1) shall remit to the department the fees collected under Section 18870.2 that have not been expended pursuant to this chapter and the regulations adopted thereunder, except that, for fees for a permit to operate, the local enforcement agency shall pay to the department a sum that is equal to the percentage of the year remaining before outstanding permits to operate expire. In addition, the local enforcement agency that relinquishes enforcement authority to the department shall remit to the department any fees collected pursuant to this part for permits to construct or for plan review, or both, for which a final approval of the construction has not yet been issued. (f) Every city, county, or city and county shall, within its jurisdiction, enforce this part and the regulations adopted pursuant to this part, as they relate to recreational vehicles and to accessory buildings or structures located in both of the following areas: (1) inside of parks where the city, county, or city and county has assumed responsibility for enforcement of both this part and Part 2.1 (commencing with Section 18200), and (2) outside of parks.

(2) Regulating the construction and use of equipment and facilities located outside of a recreational vehicle used to supply gas, water, or electricity thereto, except facilities owned, operated, and maintained by a public utility, or to dispose of sewage or other waste therefrom when the facilities are located outside a park for which a permit is required by this part or the regulations adopted pursuant thereto. (3) Requiring a permit to use a recreational vehicle outside a park for which a permit is required by this part or by regulations adopted pursuant thereto, and require a fee therefor by local ordinance commensurate with the cost of enforcing this part and local ordinance with reference to the use of recreational vehicles, which permit may be refused or revoked if the use violates this part or Part 2 (commencing with Section 18000), any regulations adopted pursuant thereto, or any local ordinance applicable to that use or Part 2.1 (commencing with Section 18200). (h) A city, including a charter city, county, or city and county, shall not require a new park to include a clubhouse. Recreational facilities, recreational areas, accessory structures, or improvements may be required only to the extent that the facilities or improvements are required in other types of similar recreational facilities, if any, in the city, county, or city and county.

Application and Scope [18865 - 18865.8] ( Chapter 4 added by Stats. 2001, Ch. 434, Sec. 39. ) ## 18865.2. (a) In any city, county, or city and county that has imposed a time limitation for occupancy of spaces in special occupancy parks, any special occupancy park owner may apply for an exemption to that limitation. The exemption shall be granted unless the city, county, or city and county makes a substantial finding that based on, but not limited to, the lack of needed overnight or tourist spaces in those special occupancy parks in the city, county, or city and county, that the exemption of the applicant’s special occupancy park from the time limitation would cause specific adverse impacts which cannot be mitigated or avoided by providing partial exemptions as set forth in subdivision (b) or by imposing conditions pursuant to subdivision (c). (b) The requirements of subdivision (a) may be satisfied by partial exemption if either of the following applies: (1) A number of spaces in a special occupancy park are set aside for short-term occupancy, and the remaining spaces are exempted by the city, county, or city and county from the occupancy limitation. (2) A city, county, or city and county finds that by increasing the maximum length of stay to a specified additional period of time for the applicant, the problems raised by the applicant for an exemption are satisfied. (c) As an alternative to granting a partial exemption pursuant to subdivision (a), in approving a request for an exemption from special occupancy park time limitations, a city, county, or city and county may: (1) Impose conditions to assure there will be no adverse impact on local school districts due to the additional enrollment of residents of a special occupancy park. (2) Assure that a special occupancy park is in compliance with all regulations adopted pursuant to this part. (d) If an exemption to a time limitation for occupancy of spaces in a special occupancy park is applied for pursuant to subdivision (a) and the special occupancy park for which the exemption is requested is located within the coastal zone, as defined in Section 30103 of the Public Resources Code, the exemption shall be granted, only, if in addition to meeting the requirements set forth in subdivision (a), the city, county, or city and county finds that granting the exemption is consistent with its certified local coastal program. If granting the exemption would be inconsistent with an approved or certified local coastal program, the applicant for the exemption may petition the appropriate city, county, or city and county to seek an amendment to its certified local coastal program. If, after consultation with the California Coastal Commission, it is determined that an amendment to the certified local coastal program is required in order to grant the exemption, the city, county, or city and county may request an amendment to the certified local coastal program within 90 days of the applicant’s filing of the petition. This request may be made without regard to the limitation on the number of the amendments that can be requested during any year, pursuant to Section 30514 of the Public Resources Code. The California Coastal Commission shall certify the amendment to the local coastal program unless it finds that the certification would not be consistent with Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 30200) of Division 20 of the Public Resources Code.
