development standards.

Also, covenants, conditions and restrictions adopted on or after January 1, 1988, cannot forbid the siting of a manufactured home on a residential lot, if the home can meet the same architectural standards as site-built homes in the neighborhood. (California Civil Code Section 714.5)

The Loma Linda Redevelopment Agency has currently identified two additional lots for development, another on Lind Street and one on Van Leuven Street. The agency already has buyers approved for these two homes, one of which will have four bedrooms. In addition, the city is annexing the unincorporated area of Bryn Mawr, which they have had oversight of for many years. Ms. Byrnes – O’Camb notes that the redevelopment agency

has purchased four lots in Bryn Mawr to date and is negotiating on two more, all of which will have new homes constructed with manufactured housing.

The approach to infill in the North Central Neighborhood, and throughout Loma Linda, represents a means for communities and redevelopment agencies around California to consider as they develop plans to revitalize older neighborhoods and embrace the goal of providing affordable housing for their city residents.

Most importantly, for two families, Loma Linda’s commitment to affordable home ownership and a better quality of life has been fulfilled. For those families on the waiting list, thanks to the lessons learned from this project, Loma Linda’s commitment and manufactured housing…the wait won’t be long!
