(A) Any person who files an application for change of use may, simultaneously with such application, file an application for total or partial exemption from the obligation to provide relocation assistance.
(B) If such application is filed, notice thereof, containing the information contained in the application, shall be given pursuant to § 15.40.070(B) and (C).
(C) An application for total exemption may be made on one of two grounds.
(1) That imposition of any relocation obligations would eliminate substantially all reasonable use or economic value of the property for alternate uses;
(2) The park is exempt from the requirement of relocation assistance under state law governing changes of use of mobile home park.
(D) Any application for partial exemption shall state that it is made on grounds that imposition of particular relocation obligations would eliminate substantially all reasonable use or economic value of the property for alternate uses. The application shall specify the particular relocation obligations which would cause this result.
(E) An application for exemption made pursuant to divisions (C)(1) and (D) of this section shall contain, at a minimum, an estimate of the value of the mobile home park by a qualified real estate appraiser if the park were permitted to be developed for the use proposed in the application for change of use, or other use consistent with applicable zoning, and an estimate of the value of such park by such appraiser if use of the property as a mobile home park is continued. An application for exemption pursuant to division (C)(2) of this section shall specify the provision of state law providing the claimed exemption and documentation demonstrating entitlement to such exemption.
(F) The application for exemption shall be heard at the same time and in the same manner as the application for change of use, except that where entitlement to exemption under state law is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Director, no RIR shall be required.
