Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation

Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc. (“ELS”), a Maryland corporation, together with MHC Operating Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and its other consolidated subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”), are referred to herein as “we,” “us,” and “our”. We are a fully integrated owner of lifestyle-oriented properties (“Properties”) consisting of property operations and home sales and rental operations primarily within manufactured home (“MH”) and recreational vehicle (“RV”) ~~communities.~~communities and marinas. We ~~provide our~~have a unique business model where we own the land which we lease to customers ~~the opportunity to place~~who own manufactured homes and cottages, RVs and/or ~~RVs on our Properties~~boats either on a long-term or short-term basis. Our customers may lease individual developed areas (“Sites”) or enter into right-to-use contracts, also known as membership subscriptions, which provide them access to specific Properties for limited stays.

Our Properties are owned primarily by the Operating Partnership and managed internally by affiliates of the Operating Partnership. ELS is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, has exclusive responsibility and discretion in management and control of the Operating Partnership and held a ~~95.3%~~95.2% interest as of ~~September 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022. As the general partner with control, ELS is the primary beneficiary of, and therefore consolidates, the Operating Partnership.

Equity method of accounting is applied to entities in which ELS does not have a controlling interest or for variable interest entities in which ELS is not considered the primary beneficiary, but with respect to which it can exercise significant influence over operations and major decisions. Our exposure to losses associated with unconsolidated joint ventures is primarily limited to the carrying value of these investments. Accordingly, distributions from a joint venture in excess of our carrying value are recognized in earnings.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. All adjustments to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are of a normal, recurring nature and, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of results for these interim periods. Revenues and expenses are subject to seasonal fluctuations and accordingly, quarterly interim results may not be indicative of full year results. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified on our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements to conform with current year presentation.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Revenue Recognition

Our revenue streams are predominantly derived from customers renting our Sites or entering into membership subscriptions. Leases with customers renting our Sites are accounted for as operating leases. The rental income associated with these leases is accounted for in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ~~ASC~~ 842, Leases, and is recognized over the term of the respective lease or the length of a ~~customer's~~customer’s stay. MH Sites are generally leased on an annual basis to residents who own or lease factory-built homes, including manufactured homes. RV and marina Sites are leased to those who generally have an RV, factory-built cottage, boat or other unit placed on the site, including those customers renting marina dry storage slips. Annual Sites are leased on an annual basis, including those Northern Properties that are open for the summer season. Seasonal Sites are leased to customers generally for one to six months. Transient Sites are leased to customers on a short-term basis. We do not separate expenses reimbursed by our customers (“utility recoveries”) from the associated rental income as we meet the practical expedient criteria to combine the lease and non-lease components. We assessed the criteria and concluded that the timing and pattern of transfer for rental income and the associated utility recoveries are the same and, as our leases qualify as operating leases, we account for and present rental income and utility recoveries as a single component under Rental income in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. In addition, customers may lease homes that are located in our communities. These leases are accounted for as operating leases. Rental income derived from customers leasing homes is also accounted for in accordance with ASC 842, Leases and is recognized over the term of the respective lease. The allowance for credit losses related to the collectability of lease receivables is presented as a reduction to Rental income. Lease receivables are presented within Other assets, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are net of an allowance for credit losses. The estimate for credit losses is a result of our ongoing assessments and evaluations of collectability, including historical loss experience, current market conditions and future expectations in forecasting credit losses.

Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Annual membership subscriptions and membership upgrade sales are accounted for in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Membership subscriptions provide our customers access to specific Properties for limited stays at a specified group of Properties. Payments are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the one-year period during which access to Sites at certain Properties is provided. Membership subscription receivables are presented within Other assets, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are net of an allowance for credit losses. Membership upgrades grant certain additional access rights to the customer and require non-refundable upfront payments. The non-refundable upfront payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over 20 years. Financed upgrade sales (also known as contract receivables) are presented within Notes receivable, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are net of an allowance for credit losses.

Income from home sales is recognized when the earnings process is complete. The earnings process is complete when the home has been delivered, the purchaser has accepted the home and title has transferred. We have a limited program under which we purchase loans made by an unaffiliated lender to homebuyers at our Properties. Financed home sales (also known as chattel loans) are presented within Notes receivable, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are net of an allowance for credit losses.

(b) Restricted Cash

As of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, restricted cash consists of ~~$31.7~~$29.3 million ~~and $24.1 million, respectively,~~for each period, primarily related to cash reserved for customer deposits and escrows for insurance and real estate taxes.

~~(c) Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements~~

~~In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04,~~ ~~Reference Rate Reform - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting~~, which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the existing guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional, effective immediately, and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur generally through December 31, 2022. We continue to evaluate the impact of this guidance and we do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Leases

Lessor

The leases entered into between the customer and us for rental of a Site are renewable upon the consent of both parties or, in some instances, as provided by statute. Long-term leases that are non-cancelable by the tenants are in effect at certain Properties. Rental rate increases at these Properties are primarily a function of increases in the Consumer Price Index, taking into consideration certain conditions. Additionally, periodic market rate adjustments are made as deemed appropriate. In addition, certain state statutes allow entry into long-term agreements that effectively modify lease terms related to rent amounts and increases over the term of the agreements. The following table presents future minimum rents expected to be received under long-term non-cancelable tenant leases, as well as those leases that are subject to long-term agreements governing rent payments and increases:

Lessee

We lease land under non-cancelable operating leases at 14 Properties expiring at various dates between 2022 and 2054. The majority of the leases have terms requiring fixed payments plus additional rents based on a percentage of gross revenues at those Properties. We also have other operating leases, primarily office space, expiring at various dates through 2032. For the quarters ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020,~~ total operating lease payments were ~~$2.9~~$2.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively. ~~For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, total operating lease payments were $8.0 million and $7.3 million, respectively.~~

Note 9 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

We record all derivatives at fair value. Our objective in utilizing interest rate derivatives is to add stability to our interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. We do not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes.

Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies

We are involved in various legal and regulatory proceedings (“Proceedings”) arising in the ordinary course of business. The Proceedings include, but are not limited to, legal claims made by employees, vendors and customers, and notices, consent decrees, information requests, additional permit requirements and other similar enforcement actions by governmental agencies relating to our utility infrastructure, including water and wastewater treatment plants and other waste treatment facilities and electrical systems. Additionally, in the ordinary course of business, our operations are subject to audit by various taxing authorities. Management believes these Proceedings taken together do not represent a material liability. In addition, to the extent any such Proceedings or audits relate to newly acquired Properties, we consider any potential indemnification obligations of sellers in our favor.

The Operating Partnership operates and manages Westwinds, a 720 site mobilehome community, and Nicholson Plaza, an adjacent shopping center, both located in San Jose, California pursuant to ground leases that expire on August 31, 2022 and do not contain extension options. The master lessor of these ground leases, The Nicholson Family Partnership (the “Nicholsons”), has expressed a desire to redevelop Westwinds, and in a written communication, they claimed that we were obligated to deliver the property free and clear of any and all subtenancies upon the expiration of the ground leases on August 31, 2022. In connection with any redevelopment, the City of San Jose’s conversion ordinance requires, among other things, that the landowner provide relocation, rental and purchase assistance to the impacted residents.

We believe the Nicholsons’ demand is unlawful, and on December 30, 2019, the Operating Partnership, together with certain interested parties, filed a complaint in California Superior Court for Santa Clara County, seeking declaratory relief pursuant to which it requested that the Court determine, among other things, that the Operating Partnership has no obligation to deliver the property free and clear of the mobilehome residents upon the expiration of the ground leases. The Operating Partnership and the interested parties filed an amended complaint on January 29, 2020. The Nicholsons filed a demand for arbitration on January 28, 2020, which they subsequently amended, pursuant to which they request (i) a declaration that the Operating Partnership, as the “owner and manager” of Westwinds, is “required by the Ground Leases, and State and local law to deliver the Property free of any encumbrances or third-party claims at the expiration of the lease terms,” (ii) that the Operating Partnership anticipatorily breached the ground leases by publicly repudiating any such obligation and (iii) that the Operating Partnership is required to indemnify the Nicholsons with respect to the claims brought by the interested parties in the Superior Court proceeding.

~~Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies (continued)~~

On February 3, 2020, the Nicholsons filed a motion in California Superior Court to compel arbitration and to stay the Superior Court litigation, which motion was heard on June 25, 2020. On July 29, 2020, the Superior Court issued a final order denying the Nicholsons' motion to compel arbitration. The Nicholsons filed a notice of appeal on August 7, 2020. On February 4, 2022, the California Court of Appeal affirmed the Superior Court’s order denying the Nicholsons' motion to compel arbitration. On February 22, 2022, the Nicholsons filed a petition for rehearing, which the Court of Appeal denied on March 2, 2022. On March 16, 2022, the Nicholsons filed a petition for review with the California Supreme Court.

The arbitration is stayed pursuant to an agreement between MHC and the Nicholsons.

We intend to continue to vigorously defend our interests in this matter. As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we have not made an accrual, as we are unable to predict the outcome of this matter or reasonably estimate any possible loss.

The Property Operations segment owns and operates land lease Properties and the Home Sales and Rentals Operations segment purchases, sells and leases homes at the Properties. The distribution of the Properties throughout the United States reflects our belief that geographic diversification helps insulate the portfolio from regional economic influences.

All revenues were from external customers and there is no customer who contributed 10% or more of our total revenues during the quarters ~~and nine months~~ ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 or ~~2020.~~2021.

The following tables summarize our segment financial information for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and ~~nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:~~2021:

Note 13 – Subsequent Events

On ~~October 14, 2021,~~April 18, 2022, we ~~acquired our joint venture partner’s 50%~~closed on a secured refinancing transaction generating gross proceeds of $200.0 million. The loan is secured by 1 MH community, has a fixed interest rate of 3.36% per annum and has a maturity date of May 1, 2034. The net proceeds from the transaction were used to repay all debt scheduled to mature in ~~Voyager RV Resort. The purchase price~~2022 and to ~~acquire our partner’s interest consisted of debt assumption of $20.1 million and a $35.2 million payment primarily comprised of 427,723 Operating Partnership units issued with~~repay amounts outstanding on the ~~remainder in cash. Upon closing the acquisition, we became the resort’s sole owner. Voyager, located in Tucson, AZ, is a resort with 1,801 sites of which 1,576 are RV and 225 are MH.~~LOC.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 (“~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K”), as well as information in ~~the “Management's~~Part II. Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of ~~Operations”~~Operations in our ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K.

Overview and Outlook

We are a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) with headquarters in Chicago, Illinois. We are a fully integrated owner of lifestyle-oriented properties (“Properties”) consisting of property operations and home sales and rental operations primarily within manufactured home (“MH”) and recreational vehicle (“RV”) ~~communities.~~communities and marinas. As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we owned or had an ownership interest in a portfolio of ~~436~~446 Properties located throughout the United States and Canada containing ~~167,123~~169,984 individual developed areas (“Sites”). These Properties are located in 3335 states and British Columbia, with more than 110 Properties with lake, river or ocean frontage and more than 120 Properties within 10 miles of the coastal United States.

We invest in properties in sought-after locations near retirement and vacation destinations and urban areas across the United States with a focus on delivering ~~value~~an exceptional experience to our residents and guests ~~as well as~~that results in delivery of value to stockholders. Our business model is intended to provide an opportunity for increased cash flows and appreciation in value. We seek growth in earnings, Funds from Operations (“FFO”), Normalized Funds from Operations (“Normalized FFO”) and cash flows by enhancing the profitability and operation of our Properties and investments. We accomplish this by attracting and retaining high quality customers to our Properties, who take pride in our Properties and in their homes, and efficiently managing our Properties by increasing occupancy, maintaining competitive market rents and controlling expenses. We also actively pursue opportunities that fit our acquisition criteria and are currently engaged in various stages of negotiations relating to the possible acquisition of additional properties.

We believe the demand from baby boomers for MH and RV communities will continue to be strong over the long term. It is estimated that approximately 10,000 baby boomers are turning 65 daily through 2030. In addition, the population ~~aged~~age 55 and older is expected to grow 17% ~~from 2021 to 2036.~~within the next 15 years. These individuals, seeking an active lifestyle, will continue to drive the market for ~~second home~~second-home sales as vacation properties, investment opportunities or retirement retreats. We expect it is likely that over the next decade, we will continue to see high levels of second-home sales and that manufactured homes and cottages in our Properties will continue to provide a viable second-home alternative to site-built homes. We also believe the Millennial and Generation ~~X demographics~~Z demographic will contribute to our future long-term customer pipeline. After conducting a comprehensive study of RV ownership, according to the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (“RVIA”) ~~tracking of the RV industry as of 2021 showed that those under 45 years of age is the fastest growing segment of RV owners and has been for the past few years. The RVIA also completed a survey showing~~, data suggested that RV ~~purchase intent is strongest among Millennials, followed closely by Generation X.~~sales are expected to benefit from an increase in demand from those born in the United States from 1980 to 2003, or Millennials and Generation ~~X combined represent over half of RV buyers. RVIA statistics as of 2021 show that over 11 million U.S. households own an RV, an increase of 62%~~Z, over the ~~past 20~~coming years. The increase is driven by strong interest from younger individuals and families who live an active, outdoor lifestyle and baby boomers who are entering retirement. These groups exhibit interest in adopting a minimalist lifestyle due to its affordability, preference over home quality relative to its size and the overall unique experience that our communities can provide. We believe the demand from baby boomers and these younger generations will continue to outpace supply for MH and RV communities. The entitlement process to develop new MH and RV communities is extremely restrictive. As a result, there have been limited new communities developed in our target geographic markets.

We generate the majority of our revenues from customers renting our Sites or entering into right-to-use contracts, also known as membership subscriptions, which provide them access to specific Properties for limited stays. MH Sites are generally leased on an annual basis to residents who own or lease factory-built homes, including manufactured homes. Annual RV and marina Sites are leased on an annual basis to ~~those~~customers who generally have an RV, factory-built cottage, boat or other unit placed on the site, including those ~~customers renting marina dry storage slips. Annual Sites are leased on an annual basis, including those~~ Northern ~~Properties~~properties that are open for the summer season. Seasonal RV and marina Sites are leased to customers generally for one to six months. Transient RV and marina Sites are leased to customers on a short-term basis. The revenue from seasonal and transient Sites is generally higher during the first and third quarters. We consider the transient revenue stream to be our most volatile as it is subject to weather conditions and other factors affecting the marginal RV ~~customer's~~customer’s vacation and travel preferences. We also generate revenue from customers renting our marina dry storage. Additionally, we have interests in joint venture Properties for which revenue is classified as Equity in income from unconsolidated joint ventures on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)

The following table shows the breakdown of our Sites by type (amounts are approximate):


						Total Sites as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022
MH Sites						~~73,300~~73,400
RV Sites:
Annual						~~32,400~~34,000
Seasonal~~(1)~~						~~10,700~~12,700

Joint Ventures ~~(3)~~(2)						~~3,600~~2,800
Total~~(4)~~						~~167,100~~170,000

_________________________

(1)~~Includes sites reserved but not used by seasonal customers due to travel restrictions.~~

~~(2)~~Primarily utilized to service the approximately ~~124,900~~128,100 members. Includes approximately ~~6,300~~6,200 Sites rented on an annual basis.

~~(3)~~(2)Includes approximately ~~2,900~~1,800 annual Sites ~~200 seasonal Sites~~ and ~~500~~1,000 transient ~~Sites and includes sites at Voyager RV Resort.~~

~~(4)Total does not foot due to rounding.~~Sites.

In our Home Sales and Rentals Operations business, our revenue streams include home sales, home rentals and brokerage services and ancillary activities. We generate revenue through home sales and rental operations by selling or leasing manufactured homes and cottages that are located in Properties owned and managed by us. We believe renting our vacant homes represents an attractive source of occupancy and an opportunity to convert the renter to a homebuyer in the future. We also sell and rent homes through our joint venture, ECHO Financing, LLC (the “ECHO JV”). Additionally, home sale brokerage services are offered to our residents who may choose to sell their homes rather than relocate them when moving from a Property. At certain Properties, we operate ancillary facilities, such as golf courses, ~~retail operations~~pro shops, stores and restaurants.

In the manufactured housing industry, options for home financing, also known as chattel financing, are limited. Chattel financing options available today include community owner-funded programs or third-party lender programs that provide subsidized financing to customers and often require the community owner to guarantee customer defaults. Third-party lender programs have stringent underwriting criteria, sizable down payment requirements, short term loan amortization and ~~relatively~~ high interest rates. We have a limited program under which we purchase loans made by an unaffiliated lender to homebuyers at our Properties.

In addition to net income computed in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), we assess and measure our overall financial and operating performance using certain Non-GAAP supplemental measures, which include: (i) FFO, (ii) Normalized FFO, (iii) Income from property operations, (iv) Income from property operations, excluding deferrals and property management, (v) Core Portfolio income from property operations, excluding deferrals and property management (operating results for Properties owned and operated in both periods under comparison), and (vi) Income from rental operations, net of depreciation. We use these measures internally to evaluate the operating performance of our portfolio and provide a basis for comparison with other real estate companies. Definitions and reconciliations of these measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are included below in this discussion.

COVID-19 Pandemic Update

Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, we have taken actions to prioritize the safety and security of our employees, residents and customers, while maintaining our high-quality standards in service to our residents and customers. We have implemented and may continue to implement Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) and local public health department guidelines and protocols for social distancing and enhanced community and office cleaning procedures. ~~All properties~~Our Properties continue to be open subject to seasons of ~~operation~~operations and state and local guidelines. Our property offices are open to residents and customers and we are complying with CDC recommended protocols.

We continue to see strong demand in our RV business as our customers seek safe vacation and leisure activities and value the opportunity to spend time outdoors. During the third quarter of 2021, Core Transient RV rental income increased $5.4 million, or 21.1% compared to the third quarter of 2020. Core Annual RV rental income increased $3.8 million, or 7.8% compared to the third quarter of 2020. Core Seasonal RV rental income increased $1.9 million, or 37.5% compared to the third quarter of 2020. RV and marina rental income in our Core Portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was 11.9% higher than the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Compared to the same period in 2020, annual and transient rental income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased 6.5% and 47.4%, respectively, while seasonal rental income decreased 12.4%. The decrease in seasonal rental income was primarily due to lower seasonal RV rental income in the South and West regions during the first quarter of 2021, as seasonal customers, in particular Canadian customers, were impacted by travel restrictions resulting from COVID-19.

~~Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)~~

We attribute the solid performance of our business ~~as shown by increases in home sales and occupancy, and growth in RV rental income,~~ to the fundamentals of our business model. ~~Our customers have made an investment in a housing unit that is placed on land leased from us. In addition, there is continued demand for our Properties.~~ The property locations and the lifestyle we offer have broad appeal to customers interested in enjoying an outdoor experience. We believe this is particularly relevant in a COVID-19 impacted environment. We intend to continue to monitor the evolving situation and we may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required and that are in the best interests of our employees, residents, customers and shareholders. The extent of the impact that COVID-19 will have on our business going forward, including our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, is dependent on multiple factors, many of which are unknown.

For the quarter ended ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, our Core Portfolio property operating revenues, excluding deferrals, increased ~~8.5%~~9.5% and property operating expenses, excluding deferrals and property management, increased ~~5.7%~~10.3%, from the same period in ~~2020,~~2021, resulting in an increase in income from property operations, excluding deferrals and property management, of ~~10.7%~~9.0%, compared to the same period in ~~2020.~~2021.

We continue to focus on the quality of occupancy growth by increasing the number of manufactured homeowners in our Core Portfolio. Our Core Portfolio average occupancy includes both homeowners and renters in our MH communities and was 95.1% for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Our Core Portfolio average occupancy was 95.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in average occupancy from the prior year was due to expansion sites completed and added to our Core Portfolio during the quarter but not yet occupied as of March 31, 2022. For the ~~nine months~~quarter ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022, our Core Portfolio occupancy increased by 38 sites with an increase in homeowner occupancy of 191 sites, compared to occupancy as of December 31, 2021. By comparison, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, our Core Portfolio ~~property operating revenues, excluding deferrals,~~occupancy increased ~~8.5% and property operating expenses, excluding deferrals and property management, increased 7.8%, from the same period in 2020, resulting in~~92 sites with an increase in ~~income from property operations, excluding deferrals and property management,~~homeowner occupancy of ~~9.0% compared to the same period in 2020.~~

109 sites. While we continue to focus on increasing the number of manufactured homeowners in our Core Portfolio, we also believe renting our vacant homes represents an attractive source of occupancy and an opportunity to potentially convert the renter to a new homebuyer in the future. We continue to expect there to be fluctuations in the sources of occupancy gains depending on local market conditions, availability of vacant sites and success with converting renters to homeowners. ~~Our Core Portfolio average occupancy, including both homeowners and renters,~~As of March 31, 2022, we had 3,310 occupied rental homes in our Core MH communities, was 95.1% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to 95.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 and 95.3% for the same period in 2020. The decrease in average occupancy from the prior quarter is due to expansion sites completed and added toincluding 210 homes rented through our Core Portfolio during the quarter but not yet occupied as of September 30, 2021. For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, our Core Portfolio occupancy increased by 60 sites with an increase in homeowner occupancy of 268 sites, compared to occupancy as of June 30, 2021. By comparison, for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, our Core Portfolio occupancy increased 93 sites with an increase in homeowner occupancy of 114 sites. In addition to higher occupancy, we have increased rental rates during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021, contributing to a growth of 4.2% for each respective period in MH rental income, compared to the same period in 2020.ECHO JV.

RV and marina rental income in our Core Portfolio for the quarter ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 was ~~14.1%~~21.4% higher than the same period in ~~2020.~~2021 driven by the rebound of seasonal demand in the South and West as we welcomed back our Canadian guests and our domestic customers were able to travel without restrictions. Annual, seasonal and transient rental income for the quarter ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 increased ~~7.8%~~8.6%, ~~37.5%~~64.8% and ~~21.1%~~21.2%, respectively. ~~The increase in~~

Annual RV and marina base rental income was attributable to both rate and occupancy, driven by occupancy gains in the North and Northeast regions. Seasonal and transient rental income increased across all regions as we have continued to see positive demand as our customers seek safe vacation and leisure activities and value the opportunity to spend time outdoors. RV and marina rental incomemembership subscription revenue in our Core Portfolio ~~for~~increased $1.5 million, or 11%, from 2021, reflecting a 5.3% increase in the ~~nine months ended September 30,~~number of Thousand Trails Camping members and a rate increase of 5.7%. The increase in annual membership subscription revenue compared to 2021 was ~~11.9% higher than~~offset by a Membership upgrade sales current period, gross decrease of $2.9 million, or 28.9%, from 2021, as a result of the ~~same period in 2020. Annual and transient rental income for the nine months~~

~~Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)~~

~~ended September 30, 2021 increased 6.5% and 47.4%, respectively, while seasonal rental income decreased 12.4%. The~~ decrease in ~~seasonal rental income was~~the number of upgrades sold primarily due to ~~lower seasonal RV rental income in~~ the ~~South and West regions~~introduction of the Adventure product during the first quarter of ~~2021, as seasonal customers, in particular Canadian customers, were impacted by travel restrictions resulting from COVID-19.~~

We continue to experience strong performance in our membership base within our Thousand Trails portfolio. For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, annual membership subscriptions revenue increased 12.5% over the same period in 2020. We sold approximately 6,700 TTC memberships during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to 7,400 in the same period in 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we sold approximately 20,200 TTC memberships compared to 16,400 in the same period in 2020. We also activated approximately 6,800 TTC memberships through our RV dealer program for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Membership upgrade sales, gross increased $3.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, driven by approximately 1,400 membership upgrade sales during the quarter. We also experienced a 14% increase in the average sales price per upgrade sold during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period ended September 30, 2020. The increase in upgrade sales and average sales price was driven by an increase in customer demand, including a new upgrade product, Adventure, introduced in the first quarter of 2021. Adventure was introduced in response to demand we were seeing from our current customers who were looking for longer stays and advanced booking windows. We periodically introduce new upgrade products. Based on our historical experience, during the first 60 to 90 days following a new product launch, we experience an increase in upgrade sales and thereafter the upgrade sales fall back in line with historical run rate performance. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we sold approximately 4,000 membership upgrades and upgrade revenues increased 77.6% over the same period in 2020.

Demand for our homes and communities remains strong as evidenced by factors including our high occupancy levels. We closed ~~338~~261 new home sales during the quarter ended ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, compared to ~~183~~192 new home sales during the quarter ended ~~September 30, 2020. We closed 825 new home sales during the nine months ended September 30,~~March 31, 2021, ~~compared to 471 new home sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.~~an increase of 35.9%. The increase in new home sales was primarily due to favorable housing trends in the broader real estate market.

As of September 30, 2021, we had 3,586 occupied rental homes in our Core MH communities, including 253 homes rented through our ECHO JV. Our Core Portfolio income from rental operations, net of depreciation, was $7.8 million and $7.6 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Approximately $7.8 million and $7.9 million of rental operations revenue related to Site rental was included in MH base rental income in our Core Portfolio for the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Our Core Portfolio income from rental operations, net of depreciation, was $24.7 million and $23.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Approximately $24.0 million and $23.5 million of rental operations revenue related to Site rental was included in MH base rental income in our Core Portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Our gross investment in real estate increased ~~$634.4~~$82.8 million to ~~$6,794.8~~$7,071.9 million as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 from ~~$6,160.4~~$6,989.1 million as of December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, primarily due to acquisitions and capital improvements during the ~~nine months~~quarter ended ~~September 30, 2021.~~

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

~~Management's~~Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations include certain Non-GAAP financial measures that in ~~management's~~management’s view of the business are meaningful as they allow investors the ability to understand key operating details of our business both with and without regard to certain accounting conventions or items that may not always be indicative of recurring annual cash flows of the portfolio. These Non-GAAP financial measures as determined and presented by us may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, and include income from property operations and Core Portfolio, FFO, Normalized FFO and income from rental operations, net of depreciation.

We believe investors should review Income from property operations and Core Portfolio, FFO, Normalized FFO and Income from rental operations, net of depreciation, along with GAAP net income and cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, when evaluating an equity ~~REIT's~~REIT’s operating performance. A discussion of Income from property operations and Core Portfolio, FFO, Normalized FFO and Income from rental operations, net of depreciation, and a reconciliation to net income, are included below.

Income from Property Operations and Core Portfolio

We use income from property operations, income from property operations, excluding deferrals and property management, and Core Portfolio income from property operations, excluding deferrals and property management, as alternative measures to evaluate the operating results of our Properties. Income from property operations represents rental income, membership subscriptions and upgrade sales, utility and other income less property and rental home operating and maintenance expenses, real estate taxes, sales and marketing expenses and property management expenses. Income from property operations,

Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)

excluding deferrals and property management, represents income from property operations excluding property management expenses and the impact of the GAAP deferrals of membership upgrade sales upfront payments and membership sales commissions, net. We present bad debt expense within Property operating, maintenance and real estate taxes in the current and prior periods.

Our Core Portfolio consists of our Properties owned and operated during all of ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2021.~~2022. Core Portfolio income from property operations, excluding deferrals and property management, is useful to investors for annual comparison as it removes the fluctuations associated with acquisitions, dispositions and significant transactions or unique situations. Our Non-Core Portfolio includes all Properties that were not owned and operated during all of ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2021.~~2022. This includes, but is not

~~Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)~~

limited to, ~~one MH community, seven RV communities and one marina acquired during 2020 and three~~six RV communities and eleven marinas acquired during ~~2021.~~

2021, one membership RV community and one RV community acquired during 2022 and our Westwinds MH community and Nicholson Plaza.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and Normalized Funds from Operations (“Normalized FFO”)

We define FFO as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of properties, depreciation and amortization related to real estate, impairment charges and adjustments to reflect our share of FFO of unconsolidated joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. We compute FFO in accordance with our interpretation of standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do. We receive non-refundable upfront payments from membership upgrade contracts. In accordance with GAAP, the non-refundable upfront payments and related commissions are deferred and amortized over the estimated membership upgrade contract term. Although the NAREIT definition of FFO does not address the treatment of non-refundable upfront payments, we believe that it is appropriate to adjust for the impact of the deferral activity in our calculation of FFO.

We define Normalized FFO as FFO excluding non-operating income and expense items, such as gains and losses from early debt extinguishment, including prepayment penalties and defeasance costs, and other miscellaneous non-comparable items. Normalized FFO presented herein is not necessarily comparable to Normalized FFO presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same methodology for computing this amount.

We believe that FFO and Normalized FFO are helpful to investors as supplemental measures of the performance of an equity REIT. We believe that by excluding the effect of gains or losses from sales of properties, depreciation and amortization related to real estate and impairment charges, which are based on historical costs and which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and among other equity REITs. We further believe that Normalized FFO provides useful information to investors, analysts and our management because it allows them to compare our operating performance to the operating performance of other real estate companies and between periods on a consistent basis without having to account for differences not related to our normal operations. For example, we believe that excluding the early extinguishment of debt and other miscellaneous non-comparable items from FFO allows investors, analysts and our management to assess the sustainability of operating performance in future periods because these costs do not affect the future operations of the properties. In some cases, we provide information about identified non-cash components of FFO and Normalized FFO because it allows investors, analysts and our management to assess the impact of those items.

Income from Rental Operations, Net of Depreciation

We use income from rental operations, net of depreciation as an alternative measure to evaluate the operating results of our home rental program. Income from rental operations, net of depreciation represents income from rental operations less depreciation expense on rental homes. We believe this measure is meaningful for investors as it provides a complete picture of the home rental program operating results including the impact of depreciation which affects our home rental program investment decisions.

Our definitions and calculations of these Non-GAAP financial and operating measures and other terms may differ from the definitions and methodologies used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable. These Non-GAAP financial and operating measures do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, nor do they represent cash available to pay distributions and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indication of our financial performance, or to cash flows from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions.

Income from rental operations, net of depreciation, decreased $1.1 million during the first quarter of 2022, compared to the first quarter of 2021 primarily due to a decrease in rental operations revenues as a result of a decrease in the number of new occupied rentals.

Total Portfolio income from property operations for 2021 increased $42.4 million, or 10.6%, from 2020, driven by an increase of $27.6 million, or 6.9%, from our Core Portfolio and by an increase of $14.8 million from our Non-Core Portfolio. The increase in income from property operations from our Core Portfolio was primarily due to increases in RV and marina base rental income, MH base rental income and Membership upgrade sales, gross. The increase in income from property operations from our Non-Core Portfolio was attributed to income from properties acquired in the fourth quarter of 2020 and during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

~~Property Operating Revenues~~

MH base rental income in our Core Portfolio for 2021 increased $20.1 million, or 4.7%, from 2020, which reflects 4.2% growth from rate increases and 0.5% growth from occupancy gains. The average monthly base rental income per Site increased to approximately $721 in 2021 from approximately $692 in 2020. The average occupancy for the Core Portfolio was 95.2% for both the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

~~Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)~~

~~RV and marina base rental income is comprised of the following:~~

RV and marina base rental income in our Core Portfolio for 2021 increased $26.3 million, or 11.9%, from 2020 primarily due to increases in Transient RV and marina base rental income of $21.1 million, or 47.4% and Annual RV and marina base rental income of $9.2 million, or 6.5%, partially offset by a decrease in Seasonal RV and marina base rental income of $4.1 million, or 12.4%. Transient RV and marina base rental income increased across all regions, primarily due to cancellations in RV reservations and site closures during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as a result of COVID-19. We continue to see positive Transient demand as our customers seek safe vacation and leisure activities and value the opportunity to spend time outdoors. The increase in Annual RV and marina base rental income was primarily due to growth from rate increases. The decrease in Seasonal RV and marina base rental income was primarily due to a decrease in seasonal RV rental income in the South and West regions during the first quarter of ~~2021, as seasonal customers, in particular Canadian customers, were impacted by travel restrictions resulting from COVID-19.~~

Membership upgrade sales, gross for 2021 increased $12.8 million, or 77.6%, from 2020. The increase in membership upgrade sales was due to approximately 4,000 upgrade sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to 2,600 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of 54%. We also experienced a 15% increase in the average sales price per upgrade sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the same period ended September 30, 2020. The increase in upgrade sales and average sales price was driven by an increase in customer demand, including a new upgrade product, Adventure, introduced during the first quarter of 2021.

Utility and other income in our Core Portfolio for 2021 increased $4.0 million, or 5.5%, from 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in utility income of $2.3 million and other property income of $1.0 million. The increase in other property income is due to increased late fees due to the suspension of late fees in 2020 as a result of COVID-19.

~~Property Operating Expenses~~

Property operating expenses, excluding deferrals and property management, in our Core Portfolio for 2021 increased $26.3 million, or 7.8%, from 2020, driven by increases in property operating and maintenance expenses of $19.0 million and gross sales and marketing expenses of $5.7 million. Core property operating and maintenance expenses were higher during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020 primarily due to increases in utility expenses of $7.6 million, property payroll expenses of $3.9 million, insurance expense of $2.9 million and repairs and maintenance expenses of $1.5 million. The increase in gross sales and marketing expenses was primarily due to an increase in membership upgrade sales.

The increase in income from home sales and other was due to an increase in ancillary services revenues, net, driven by increased revenue from restaurants, stores and activities across the portfolio primarily as a result of closures in 2020 as a result of COVID-19, an increase in non-core marina ancillary revenues, net and an increase in gross profit from new home sales as a result of an increase in the number of new homes sold.

The increase in depreciation and amortization was due to depreciation on Non-Core properties acquired in the fourth quarter of 2020 and the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in interest and related amortization is due to higher debt levels in 2021 compared to 2020.2022.

Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our primary demands for liquidity include payment of operating expenses, dividend distributions, debt service, including principal and interest, capital improvements on Properties, home purchases and property acquisitions. We expect similar demand for liquidity will continue for the short-term and long-term. Our primary sources of cash include operating cash flows, proceeds from financings, borrowings under our unsecured Line of Credit (“LOC”) and proceeds from issuance of equity and debt securities.

One of our stated objectives is to maintain financial flexibility. Achieving this objective allows us to take advantage of strategic opportunities that may arise. When investing capital, we consider all potential uses, including returning capital to our stockholders or the conditions under which we may repurchase our stock. These conditions include, but are not limited to, market price, balance sheet flexibility, alternative opportunistic capital uses and capital requirements. We believe effective management of our balance sheet, including maintaining various access points to raise capital, managing future debt maturities and borrowing at competitive rates, enables us to meet this objective. Accessing long-term low-cost secured debt continues to be our focus.

~~Our~~On February 24, 2022, we entered into our current at-the-market (“ATM”) equity offering program ~~allows us,~~with certain sales agents, pursuant to which we may sell, from time-to-time, ~~to sell~~ shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $500.0 million. Prior to the new program, the aggregate offering price was up to $200.0 million. As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the full capacity of our current ATM equity offering program remained available for issuance.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we sold 328,123 shares of our common stock under our prior ATM equity program for gross cash proceeds of approximately $28.0 million at a weighted average share price of $86.46.

As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we had available liquidity in the form of approximately ~~416.2~~414.0 million shares of authorized and unissued common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 10.0 million shares of authorized and unissued preferred stock registered for sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

During the ~~nine months~~quarter ended ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we closed on ~~an amended revolving line of credit with borrowing capacity of $500.0~~a $200.0 million ~~and a $300.0 million~~senior unsecured term loan. The maturity date is January 21, 2027. The term loan ~~(“Term Loan”). The variable~~bears interest at a rate of Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), plus approximately 1.30% to 1.80%, depending on ~~the Term Loan is LIBOR plus 1.40%. Pursuant to the Swap (as defined below), we have fixed the interest rate at 1.8% per annum.~~leverage levels. See Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 8. Borrowing Arrangements for further details.

We also utilize interest rate swaps to add stability to our interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The changes in the fair value of the designated derivative are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and subsequently reclassified into earnings on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we entered into a three-year LIBOR Swap Agreement (“the Swap”) allowing us to trade the variable interest rate associated with our variable rate debt for a fixed interest rate. The Swap has a notional amount of $300.0 million of outstanding principal and fixes the underlying LIBOR rate at 0.39% per annum and matures on March 25, 2024. For additional information regarding our interest rate swap, see Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 9. Derivative Instruments and Hedging ~~Activities.~~.

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements, including principal payments, capital improvements and dividend distributions for the next twelve months, generally through available cash, net cash provided by operating activities and our LOC. As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, our LOC had a borrowing capacity of ~~$280.0~~$431.0 million. As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the LOC bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.25% to 1.65%, carries an annual facility fee of 0.20% to 0.35% and matures on April 18, 2025.

On April 18, 2022, we closed on a secured refinancing transaction generating gross proceeds of $200.0 million. The loan is secured by one MH community, has a fixed interest rate of 3.36% per annum and has a maturity date of May 1, 2034. The net proceeds from the transaction were used to repay all debt scheduled to mature in 2022 and to repay amounts outstanding on the LOC. See Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 13. Subsequent Events for further details.

We expect to meet certain long-term liquidity requirements, such as scheduled debt maturities, property acquisitions and capital improvements, using long-term collateralized and uncollateralized borrowings including the existing LOC and the issuance of debt securities or the issuance of equity including under our ATM equity offering program.

On October 14, 2021, we acquired our joint venture partner’s 50% interest in Voyager RV Resort. The purchase price to acquire our partner’s interest consisted of debt assumption of $20.1 million and a $35.2 million payment primarily comprised of 427,723 Operating Partnership units issued with the remainder in cash. ~~See Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 13. Subsequent events.~~

~~Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)~~

We continue to monitor the development and adoption of an alternative index to LIBOR to manage the transition. Given the majority of our current debt is secured and not subject to LIBOR, we do not believe the discontinuation of LIBOR will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)

The impact the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to have on our financial condition and cashflows is uncertain and is dependent upon various factors including the manner in which operations will continue at our Properties, customer payment patterns and operational decisions we have made and may make in the future in response to guidance from public authorities and/or for the health and safety of our employees, residents and guests.

Westwinds

The master lessor of these ground leases, The Nicholson Family Partnership (together with its predecessor in interest, the “Nicholsons”), has expressed a desire to redevelop Westwinds, and in a written communication, they claimed that we were obligated to deliver the property free and clear of any and all subtenancies upon the expiration of the ground leases on August 31, 2022. In connection with any redevelopment, the City of San Jose’s conversion ordinance requires, among other things, that the landowner provide relocation, rental and purchase assistance to the impacted residents. We believe the Nicholsons are unlawfully attempting to impose those obligations upon the Operating Partnership.

Westwinds opened in the 1970s and was developed by the original ground lessee with assistance from the Nicholsons. In 1997, the Operating Partnership acquired the leasehold interest in the ground leases. In addition to rent based on the operations of Westwinds, the Nicholsons receive a percentage of gross revenues from the sale of new or used ~~mobilehomes~~mobile homes in Westwinds.

The Operating Partnership has entered into subtenancy agreements with the mobilehome residents of Westwinds. Because the ground leases with the Nicholsons have an expiration date of August 31, 2022, and no further right of extension, the Operating Partnership has not entered into any subtenancy agreements that extend beyond August 31, 2022. However, the mobilehome residents’ occupancy rights continue by operation of California state and San Jose municipal law beyond the expiration date of the ground leases. Notwithstanding this, the Nicholsons have made what we believe to be an unlawful demand that the Operating Partnership deliver the property free and clear of any subtenancies upon the expiration of the ground leases by August 31, 2022. We believe the Nicholsons’ demand (i) violates California state and San Jose municipal law because the Nicholsons are demanding that the Operating Partnership remove all residents without just cause and (ii) conflicts with the terms and conditions of the ground leases, which contain no express or implied requirement that the Operating Partnership deliver the property free and clear of all subtenancies at the ~~mobilehome~~mobile home park and require, instead, that the Operating Partnership continuously operate the mobilehome park during the lease term.

On December 30, 2019, the Operating Partnership, together with certain interested parties, filed a complaint in California Superior Court for Santa Clara County, seeking declaratory relief pursuant to which it requested that the Court determine, among other things, that the Operating Partnership has no obligation to deliver the property free and clear of the mobilehome residents upon the expiration of the ground leases. The Operating Partnership and the interested parties filed an amended complaint on January 29, 2020.

The Nicholsons filed a demand for arbitration on January 28, 2020, which they subsequently amended, pursuant to which they request (i) a declaration that the Operating Partnership, as the “owner and manager” of Westwinds, is “required by the Ground Leases, and State and local law to deliver the Property free of any encumbrances or third-party claims at the expiration of the lease terms,” (ii) that the Operating Partnership anticipatorily breached the ground leases by publicly repudiating any such obligation and (iii) that the Operating Partnership is required to indemnify the Nicholsons with respect to the claims brought by the interested parties in the Superior Court proceeding.

On February 3, 2020, the Nicholsons filed a motion in California Superior Court to compel arbitration and to stay the Superior Court litigation, which motion was heard on June 25, 2020. On July 29, 2020, the Superior Court issued a final order denying the Nicholsons' motion to compel arbitration. The Nicholsons filed a notice of appeal on August 7, ~~2020.~~2020, which appeal was heard on February 1, 2022. On February 4, 2022, the California Court of Appeal affirmed the Superior Court’s order denying the Nicholsons' motion to compel arbitration. On February 22, 2022, the Nicholsons filed a petition for rehearing, which the Court of Appeal denied on March 2, 2022. On March 16, 2022, the Nicholsons filed a petition for review with the California Supreme Court. The arbitration is stayed pursuant to an agreement between MHC and the Nicholsons.

Following the filing of our lawsuit, the City of San Jose took steps to accelerate the passage of a general plan amendment previously under review by the City to change the designation for Westwinds from its current general plan designation of Urban Residential (which would allow for higher density redevelopment), to a newly created designation of Mobile Home Park. The Nicholsons expressed opposition to this change in designation. However, on March 10, 2020, following significant pressure from residents and advocacy groups, the City Council approved this new designation for all 58 mobilehome communities in ~~with~~the City of San Jose, including Westwinds. In addition to requirements imposed by California state and San Jose municipal law, the change in designation requires, among other things, a further amendment to the general plan to a different land use designation by the City Council prior to any change in use.
