As follow up to a story we posted Dec. 4, 2012 concerning the Huntington Beach (Calif.) City Council approving a subdivision map for an MHC to become a resident-owned community, MHProNews learned that after a superior court judge charged the city council and city attorney with contempt, the city council agreed to the community owner’s entire agenda. With the efforts of HK&C’s law firm, the council reversed its vote after previously approving the subdivision map. The agenda includes affirming and reinstating the map, and instructing the city attorney to appeal a court order that set aside a contempt of court hearing scheduled for Feb. 8, 2013. Attorney Rob Coldren says, “The City had already lost a lawsuit after denying a subdivision application based on the claim that some of the tenants homes encroached into a city right of way.”
