Editor's note: Ord. 6033 renumbers this chapter from 30.57 to 30.58.
The purpose of this chapter is to establish a Mobilehome Park (MP) Overlay Zone in order to maintain, preserve, and promote non-subsidized affordable rental housing uniquely provided by mobilehome and permanent recreational vehicle parks. Additionally, this chapter establishes a Senior Mobilehome Park (SMP) Overlay within the MP Overlay Zone intended to preserve a variety and balance of housing types within the City by providing assurances that existing senior mobilehome parks within the Mobilehome Park Overlay Zone will remain available to seniors.

Definition. SENIOR MOBILEHOME PARK. A mobilehome park in which at least 80% of the spaces are occupied by, or intended for occupancy by, at least one person who is 55 years of age or older, or in which 100% of the spaces are occupied or intended for occupancy by persons 62 years of age or older.

E. 
Compliance with Code Of Federal Regulation. A Senior Mobilehome Park located within the Senior Mobilehome Park Overlay Zone shall comply with 24 C.F.R. Section 100.307.
F.
