GENERAL PROVISIONS
For the purpose of this chapter, the following definitions shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.
DEPARTMENT. The State Department of Public Health, unless otherwise indicated.
DEPENDENT MOBILE HOME. A mobile home which does not have toilet and bath or shower facilities.
IMMOBILIZED MOBILE HOME. A mobile home served by individual utilities, resting on a permanent perimeter foundation which extends below the established frost depth with the wheels, tongue and hitch removed, and the home secured in compliance with 210 ILCS 120/1 et seq.
INDEPENDENT MOBILE HOME. A mobile home which has self-contained toilet and bath or shower facilities.
INDIVIDUAL UTILITIES. As used in this chapter, means the provision for each mobile home of a separate metered connection to electrical service; separately tapped water service from an approved public water supply or a separate private water supply; and a separately tapped connection to an approved public sewer system or a separate private sewage disposal system.
MOBILE HOME. A structure designed for permanent habitation and so constructed as to permit its transport on wheels, temporarily or permanently attached to its frame, from the place of its construction to the location or subsequent locations at which it is intended to be a permanent habitation, and designed to permit the occupancy thereof as a dwelling place for one or more persons. MOBILE HOME shall include manufactured homes constructed after June 30, 1976, in accordance with the federal National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974.
MOBILE HOME PARK. A tract of land or two or more contiguous tracts of land which contain sites with the necessary utilities for five or more independent mobile homes for permanent habitation, either free of charge or for revenue purposes, and shall include any building, structure, vehicle, or enclosure used or intended for use as a part of the equipment of the mobile home park. Separate ownership of contiguous tracts of land shall not preclude the tracts of land from common licensure as a mobile home park if they are maintained and operated jointly. Neither an immobilized mobile home nor a motorized recreational vehicle shall be construed as being a part of a mobile home park.
PERMANENT HABITATION. A period of two or more months.
REVENUE PURPOSES. As used in this chapter shall include, but not be limited to, moneys or other valuable consideration paid by a tenant or lessee or paid by a contract purchaser pursuant to a contract for deed, sale, or purchase prior to the delivery of the deed conveying legal title.
SITE. The lot on which the mobile home is located for permanent habitation.
(A) Certain provisions of this chapter are based upon the Mobile Home Park Act, 210 ILCS 115/1 et seq. This chapter shall be construed, where possible, consistently with that Act. Should that Act be amended after the effective date of this code of ordinances, and should the amended portion of that Act be inconsistent with this chapter, this chapter shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform this chapter to that Act.
(B) If any requirement in this chapter is more stringent than any other ordinance of the village on a similar subject, this chapter shall control. If any requirement in this chapter is less stringent than any other ordinance of the village on a similar subject, the other ordinance shall control.
All mobile home parks in operation as of the effective date of this code of ordinances and licensed by the Department, shall be entitled to a license from the village upon submission of an application containing the information set forth in § 152.20 and the payment of an initial license fee of $50. Thereafter, the mobile home park shall be subject to license renewals in accordance with § 152.28.
