(a) Mobile homes legally located and occupied on premises outside a licensed mobile home community prior to the original enactment of this Chapter may be continued in such location, provided that the owner of the premises on which such unit is located shall apply to the Zoning Administrator within sixty (60) days after the original effective date of this Chapter for a use permit showing the date on which such use and occupancy commenced, the names of the owner and occupants and that such use and occupancy is otherwise in conformity with the applicable laws and regulations of the state and Village. Such nonconforming use shall be automatically terminated upon a discontinuance for any reason for twelve (12) consecutive months or if the total structural repairs and alterations to the mobile home exceed fifty percent (50%) of the net value.
(b) The owner or occupant of a mobile home shall, within five (5) days after entering of a licensed mobile home community or removing to another mobile home community within the Village, obtain a permit from the Zoning Administrator. Such permits shall be issued only for mobile homes which bear a seal, stamp or certificate of the manufacturer guaranteeing that the mobile home is constructed in accordance with the standards of the American National Standards Institute Book A 119.1, as originally existing, or, if amended, as amended.
(c) Nothing herein shall prevent the owner of a mobile home under Subsection (a) hereof from replacing the mobile home with a newer model, provided that the replacement unit meets all applicable standards of construction in the industry existing as of the date of replacement, not at the date of manufacture of the replacement unit, and meets the requirements of Section 13-1-108.
