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.
[1960 Code, Sec. 14.12.030]
No person shall construct a trailer coach park without first obtaining a zoning permit and building permit to do so. Each certificate and permit to construct, and each certificate or permit to make alterations therein, shall be prominently displayed in the office of the trailer coach park for which the same was issued.
