A. Annual permit. It is unlawful for any person to construct, maintain, or operate any mobile home, manufactured home, or travel trailer park within the limits of the City unless he holds a valid permit issued annually and jointly by the Building Official and Health Officer of the City in the name of such person for the specific park, except that the maintenance or operation of an existing park on May 6, 1991, may be continued under a temporary permit for such period of time and under such conditions as are hereinafter described.
B. Transfer of ownership. Application shall be made to the Building Official acting jointly with the Health Officer in writing within twenty-four (24) hours after having sold, transferred, given away, or otherwise disposed of interest in or control of any such park. Such notice shall include the name and address of the person succeeding to the ownership or control of such park.
C. Application for permit. Application for original permits shall be in writing, signed by the applicant, and accompanied by an affidavit of the applicant as to the truth of the application and shall contain the following:
1. Name and address of the applicant;
2. The interest of the applicant in and the location and legal description of the park;
3. A complete plan of the park showing compliance with all applicable provisions of this chapter and regulations promulgated thereunder.
D. Application for renewals. Applications for renewals of permits shall be made in writing by the holder of the license and shall contain the any change in the information submitted since the time the original license was issued or the latest renewal granted.
E. Submission of plan. Prior to the issuance of a permit, a complete plan of the park shall be submitted to the Building Official, and such plan shall show:
1. The area and dimensions of the tract of land;
2. The number, locations, and size of all mobile home, manufactured home, or travel trailer spaces;
3. The location and width of roadways, walkways, buffer strips, and recreational areas;
4. The location of service buildings and other proposed structures;
5. The location and size of utility lines and treatment facilities; and
6. Plans and specifications of all buildings and other improvements constructed or to be constructed within the park.
F. Notice to correct violation conditions; suspension of permit. Whenever the Health Officer or the Building Official finds conditions existing in violation of this chapter, or of any regulation adopted pursuant thereto, he shall give notice, in writing, to the person to whom the permit was issued that, unless such conditions or practices are corrected within a reasonable period of time specified in the notice, the permit will be suspended. At the end of such period, not to exceed ninety (90) days, the Health Officer or the Building Official shall re-inspect such park, and, if such conditions or practices have not been corrected, he shall suspend the permit and give notice, in writing, of such suspension to the person to whom the permit was issued. Upon receipt of notice of suspension, such person shall cease operation of such park except as may be provided hereinafter.
G. Request for hearing. Any person whose permit has been denied or suspended or who has received notice from the Health Officer or the Building Official that his permit will be suspended unless certain conditions or practices at the park are corrected may request and shall be granted a hearing on the matter before the City Council. When no petition for such hearing shall have been filed within ten (10) days following the day on which notice of suspension was served, such permit shall be deemed to have been automatically revoked at the expiration of such ten (10) day period.
H. Compliance of existing parks. Mobile home and travel trailer parks in existence on May 6, 1991, which have concrete pads indicating the location of mobile home, manufactured home, or travel trailer spaces need not comply with those sections of this chapter which would require the moving of concrete pads. They must, however, comply with all other requirements and any park expansion shall be in full compliance with provisions of this chapter.
I. Initial or temporary permit fee. The City Clerk shall charge and collect for each mobile home, manufactured home, or travel trailer park an initial permit or temporary permit fee per space. The initial permit or temporary permit shall expire one (1) year from the date of issue, unless renewed upon such conditions as the City Council may by ordinance direct.
J. Posting of temporary permit. The permit shall be conspicuously posted in the office of, or on the premises of, the park at all times.
