A. It
shall be unlawful for any person to establish, operate or maintain,
or permit to be established, operated or maintained upon any property
owned or controlled by him/her, a trailer camp or mobile home park
within the limits of the City of California, Missouri, without first

governing same.
B. The
Board of Aldermen of the City of California, Missouri, may issue a
license for the location of a trailer camp in any district in which
licenses are herein prohibited, after a public hearing if, upon such
hearing, said Board finds that denial of such license will cause unnecessary
hardship on the applicant and finds in addition that the owners of
all property within two hundred (200) yards of the proposed camp will
not suffer unnecessary hardship by reason of the operation of the
camp at the proposed location.
C. No
trailer camp or mobile home park shall be located within the limits
of the City of California, Missouri, unless City water and sewer connections
are available and utilized by the occupants of the park.
