(C) However, if the City Commission deems it in the public interest, before issuance of a license, the Commission may provide that reasonable requirements or conditions shall be met so as to bring the site of the trailer park as planned up to a good level of usefulness in keeping with the provisions of this chapter. Within six months of this action, but not thereafter, the Building Official shall issue the license upon satisfactory proof from the applicant that all of the requirements or conditions have been met.
(1998 Code, § 74-65) (Ord. 13-10, passed 4-3-2013)
The Building Official may revoke any license to maintain and operate a mobile home park when the licensee has been found guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction of violating any provision of this chapter or applicable provision of this code, state law or city ordinance, rule or regulation. After the conviction, the license may be reissued if the circumstances leading to conviction have been remedied and the park is being maintained and operated in full compliance with law.
