6A.C. - Page 18 <br />42.9 Alternative Mitigation <br />A. All applications governed by this section shall be required to submit the required <br />information; however, the landlord may also submit an alternative mitigation <br />strategy that meets the goals of this section. An alternative strategy may include, <br />but shall not be limited to, providing other mitigation and concessions to tenants <br />such as permanent relocation of displaced tenants into similar apartments on-site <br />or nearby, ongoing rent concessions or suitable notice and other elements of <br />mitigation that would serve the goals and purposes of this Chapter. Prior to <br />submitting any alternative mitigation strategy, a landlord shall discuss the strategy <br />with existing tenants and make good faith efforts to arrive at an alternative <br />mitigation strategy that is acceptable to existing tenants. Evidence of tenant <br />agreement with an alternative mitigation strategy may be submitted to the City for <br />review. With each such alternative submission, the landlord shall provide complete <br />information as determined necessary by the Community Development Director. <br />After an alternative mitigation strategy is submitted, the landlord shall provide <br />notice of the submission by regular and certified mail and posted on the door of <br />each rental unit. Tenants shall have fourteen (14) days from the date notice is <br />posted or mailed, whichever is later, to submit comments on the alternatives to the <br />Community Development Director. <br />Alternative mitigation proposals shall be approved or denied by the Community <br />Development Director. Within seven days of the decision, the City shall provide <br />notice of the decision to the landlord and all tenants. The Landlord or tenants may <br />appeal any decision of the Community Development Director to the City Manager <br />or designee within fourteen (14) days after notice is provided. <br />B. Landlord's temporary withdrawal of residential rental units from the market shall <br />not be subject to this Chapter for any units where, in the opinion of the Community <br />Development Director, the landlord has provided suitable alternative temporary <br />replacement housing accommodations on site or nearby. <br />42.10 Administrative Regulations <br />The Community Development Director may, from time to time, promulgate regulations <br />implementing the provisions of this Chapter, violations of which shall be considered a <br />violation of this section. <br />42.11 Mitigation Not Exclusive <br />Nothing in this section shall be interpreted to interfere with the City's ability and/or <br />obligation to require relocation assistance for displaced tenants who are not covered by <br />this Chapter. <br />ATTY/ORD.456/RC RELOCATION ASSISTANCE <br />REV: 07-09-18 PR <br />Page 9 of 9 <br />
