However, the maintenance or operation of a mobile home park in existence on the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter (Ord. 177, passed 7-22-1960) may be continued under a temporary permit for a period of time and under conditions as are hereinafter prescribed.
(B) A temporary permit, upon written request therefor, shall be issued by the Health Department for every mobile home park in existence on the effective date, permitting the park to be maintained and operated during the period ending 180 days after the effective date without being subject to the provisions of this chapter, except for those provisions which are expressly applicable to the permittee.
(C) The term of the temporary permit shall be extended, upon written request, for not more than one additional period of 180 days if:
(1) The permittee files an application for a license in conformity with § 158.04 below within 90 days after the effective date;
(2) The permittee is of good moral character and the park plans and specifications accompanying the application for a license comply with this chapter and all other applicable ordinances and statutes;
(3) The permittee has diligently endeavored to make the existing park conform fully to the plans and specifications submitted with the application; or
(4) Failure to make the existing park conform fully to the plans and specifications is due to causes beyond the control of the permittee.
