The MH Mobile Home Park District is intended to preserve the
interests of alternate types of residential developments which should
be permitted in every community and to protect the residents of any
mobile home type development. The regulations applicable to this district
are considered as minimum standards to be applied to all mobile home
park developments in the district.
The following uses shall be permitted within the MH Mobile Home
Park District:
(b)
Prefabricated (modular) housing.
(c)
Central offices, community rooms, or swimming pools/saunas.
(d)
Essential public utility service buildings or gas or electric
regulator stations and buildings.
The construction, alteration or extension of a mobile home park
shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable state and local
regulations and this ordinance, and only after obtaining a permit
for such as provided for in this article. In addition to the requirements
set forth in Article 21 (site plan review procedure) of this ordinance,
a sketch plan shall accompany each permit application, in four copies,
giving the following information plus any other related information
requested by the Planning Commission:
10.04:1.
Site boundary line locations and dimensions, plus the area of
the mobile home park site.
10.04:2.
Number, location and size of each mobile home lot and all common
open space areas.
10.04:3.
For each mobile home lot, the size and type of mobile home permitted
or expected to be situated thereon.
10.04:4.
Location and dimensions of roadways, walkways, parking areas
and outdoor recreation area.
The Planning Commission may require a public hearing, in which
case notice shall be provided in accordance with normal practice to
property owners located within one-half mile of the site.
After the Planning Commission has approved the sketch plan,
and after the public hearing, if any, has been held, the applicant
shall submit a site plan as provided in Article 21 of this ordinance.
The site plan shall be submitted in four copies and shall also contain
detailed sketches of typical roadway, walkway and apron layouts and
cross sections. If rezoning is involved, it is at this point that
this matter should be acted upon, in accordance with § 33.02.
The permit application for a mobile home park development requires
the approval of the Planning Commission and the City Council. In reviewing
the proposed development's acceptability, the following questions
should be among those considered by both bodies prior to official
action being taken, and appropriate state, county and local administrative
and legislative personnel may be requested to participate in the review
process:
10.07:1.
Whether the proposed development is in accordance with the City's
land use plan.
10.07:2.
Whether the proposed development meets all the design standards
of this ordinance and other applicable local codes, regulations or
ordinances.
10.07:3.
Whether the density characteristics of the proposed development
are detrimental to adjacent properties and land uses.
10.07:4.
Whether the proposed development can be reasonably expected
to constitute a health hazard or public nuisance to adjacent properties
because of inappropriate or inadequate sanitation and/or drainage
facilities.
10.07:5.
Whether the proposed development produces an extreme or undue
demand on available fire and police protection services.
10.07:6.
Whether the traffic characteristics of the proposed development
can be expected to place an extreme or undue burden on the adjacent
publicly available vehicular and/or pedestrian circulation facilities.
The Zoning Administrator and/or his authorized agents are hereby
granted the power and authority to enter upon the premises of any
mobile home park at any time for the purpose of investigating or enforcing
any provisions of this ordinance or related local ordinances applicable
to mobile home park operations.
