That specified conditions shall be imposed upon the conversion of the mobilehome park to another use, the closure of the mobilehome park, or the cessation of the use of the land as a mobilehome park to mitigate adverse impacts upon the ability of displaced mobilehome owners and mobilehome residents to find adequate housing in a mobilehome park and to require that reasonable costs of relocation be paid as set forth in this chapter.
