(a) Generally. Any applicant changing the use of a mobile home park shall submit a mobile home park relocation plan for the park residents that meets the requirements of Title 8A of the Real Property Article of the State Code, shall comply with the plan as approved, and shall pay all fees established by this section. Final plan approval for subdivisions and final site development plan approval may not be granted until the applicant fully complies with the relocation plan.
(b) Review and monitoring of plans. The County may contract with Arundel Community Development Services, Inc. or a similarly qualified person or entity, to review, approve and monitor compliance with mobile home park relocation plans. A relocation plan, including any re-submittals, shall be reviewed and a written approval or denial issued no later than 45 days after the date of submittal. A denial shall include specific reasons for the denial.
(c) Fees. The mobile home park owner shall pay the fees due under § 17-11-101 for mobile home park relocation plan review and compliance monitoring as follows.
(1) All fees shall be paid at the time of application.
(2) The fee for compliance monitoring of a relocation plan shall be due for each mobile home occupied by a resident at the time of application for a change of land use.
(3) If the County enters into a contract in accordance with subsection (b), all fees due under this section shall be paid directly to the person or entity with whom the County contracts. Otherwise, all fees shall be paid to the County.
(4) An owner shall enter into an agreement with the County to provide security in the form of a letter of credit to secure the payment of any required relocation assistance not previously paid. An agreement to post security shall provide for the release of the security when all relocation assistance required to be paid pursuant to Title 8A of the Real Property Article of the State Code has been paid. An agreement and security posted under this subsection shall satisfy the requirement that the owner fully comply with the relocation plan prior to final plan approval, but does not relieve the owner of the obligation to pay the relocation assistance directly to qualified park residents or to provide confirmation satisfactory to the Office of Planning and Zoning that any relocation assistance required to be paid to residents has been fully paid prior to plat recordation or a recommendation to approve a site development plan.
