This article provides for the submittal requirements, development standards, processing, administration and enforcement of a specific type of development requiring a land development permit under Article XVI of this chapter. Because mobile home parks are such a highly specialized and tightly designed group living complex, this article contains a number of detailed requirements for mobile homes and mobile home parks, including both development and operational provisions (particularly as they apply to the physical features, utility services and initial occupancy of a park under staged construction). Additional administration and enforcement considerations are also by necessity included in this article.
A. 
After the effective date of this chapter, no mobile home shall be permitted to be located in a duly licensed mobile home park which does not meet the minimum standards set forth in publication NFPA No. 501A, 1982 Standard for Fire Safety Criteria, Mobile Home Installations, Sites and Communities, as it may be amended, and these standards are hereby adopted by reference and incorporated in this chapter.
B. 
After the effective date of this chapter and prior to the issuance of any required certificates of occupancy, no mobile home shall be located on any lot within a mobile home park until at least one permanent marker is set on a corner of the lot fronting on a street. The term "permanent marker" includes, but is not limited to, the following: a granite monument, a concrete monument, an iron pin or a drill hole in ledge.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I)]

No mobile home shall be located or occupied in the City of Bangor unless the mobile home conforms to all standards of construction, design and performance adopted pursuant to the State of Maine Manufactured Housing Act (10 M.R.S.A. § 9001 et seq., as it may be amended) or the State of Maine Industrialized Housing Law (30-A M.R.S.A. § 4358 et seq., as it may be amended) or any successive legislation or standards, except those meeting local standards. Any mobile home presently located and occupied in the City of Bangor which does not conform to said standards may remain but may not be replaced by a mobile home which does not conform to said standards.
[Amended 8-28-2023 by Ord. No. 23-245]
D. 
No mobile home shall be occupied for any purpose in the City of Bangor until a certificate of occupancy shall have been issued by the Code Enforcement Officer, stating that the mobile home and the proposed use and/or occupancy thereof complies with all applicable laws and ordinances of the City of Bangor.
E. 
No mobile home used as a principal residential building on an individual lot or in a mobile home park may be replaced if the replacing mobile home will create nonconforming yards or separation distances or will increase any nonconformity of yards or separation distances existing as of the effective date of this provision.
F. 
All mobile home parks and mobile homes in existence prior to this chapter and those in existence prior to September 13, 1971, were required to comply with the requirements of this article except for the requirements of §§ 165-120A and 165-123C and E(2).
