Upon receipt of an application for a zoning permit to construct
a park, the City zoning inspector shall, if the park is or the proposed
park will be in conformity with this title, issue a permit to construct.
If the application for a permit to construct is declined, the City
zoning inspector shall give the reasons therefor in writing to the
applicant; and if the objections can be corrected, the applicant may
amend his application and resubmit it for approval.
If the objections of the City zoning inspector cannot be corrected,
thereby bringing the application into compliance with these requirements,
the applicant may petition the Zoning Board of Appeals for relief.
The Zoning Board of Appeals shall then review the petition, as provided
in Title 2, Chapter 7 of this Code. The petitioner shall serve written
notice by registered mail to all owners, as recorded in the office
of the county collector, of all property within 150 feet of the tract
for which a variance is requested; provided, however, that the number
of feet occupied by all public streets and alleys shall be excluded
from computing the 150-foot requirement. The notice to the property
owners shall contain the address of the tract, a brief statement of
the petitioner's request, and the name(s) and addresses) of the
legal owner(s) of the property for which the variance is requested.
If a zoning permit to construct a park is issued, the applicant
shall upon completion thereof notify the City zoning inspector. The
City zoning inspector shall then inspect the park and, if completed
in accordance with the accepted application, the zoning inspector
shall issue a permit of compliance.
No person shall provide or install a house trailer park or make
a change or addition to a house trailer park until the plans therefor
have been submitted to and approved by the local board of health,
and the state department of health.
No change in any sanitary facilities, methods of water supply,
sewer, drainage, garbage or waste disposal, and no change in the plot
plan shall be made without first making a written application to the
City zoning inspector and receiving a permit therefrom. Such application
shall be made in the way and manner herein set forth, except that
a fee amounting to $10 for each 10 acres or fraction thereof used
to harbor trailer coaches therein shall accompany each application
for a permit to alter such trailer coach park. No application fee
shall be required to accompany an application for permit to alter
a park where such alteration involved only a reduction in the number
of trailer spaces to a number less than such park is currently permitted.
Such a change or changes shall comply with such safety and sanitary
code, building code, rules and regulations as are applicable thereto.
Such a permit does not relieve the applicant from securing any
other permit or certificate, or from complying with any other provisions
of this Code.

obtaining a zoning permit and building permit to do so. Each certificate
