(A) Drainage. The site of any use should be graded and/or filled and maintained so as to prevent the accumulation of storm or wastewater of any kind, and no such use shall be permitted in low, swampy places where the groundwater causes the surface soil to become wet. Protective slopes away from all patios, mobile home stands, and buildings, and any water supply wells, shall be provided to assure immediate drainage and diversion of surface water away from these facilities.
(Prior Code, § 62.14.010)
(B) Access roads. Each use shall be provided with hard-surfaced access roads at least 20 feet wide to serve each mobile home space and common parking areas. Each such access road should be continuous and unobstructed, and shall connect directly to a public major or a collector traffic street. Direct vehicular access to mobile home space shall be limited to the access road or roads provided. Where any access road connects to two or more public streets, it shall be arranged so as to prohibit through traffic.
(Prior Code, § 62.14.020)
(C) Off-street parking. Hard surfaced parking spaces shall be provided for the parking of motor vehicles in the ration of at least one and one-half parking spaces to each mobile home space.
(Prior Code, § 62.14.030)
(D) Playground and park area. A playground area shall be provided for each mobile home park having ten or more units, and shall be restricted to, and maintained for, such use. These areas shall be protected from the public street and from parking areas. A minimum usable area of 2,000 square feet shall be set aside and developed for each mobile home park having at least ten units and 100 square feet for each additional unit up to, and including, an additional ten units and 50 square feet additional for each unit above 20 units.
(Prior Code, § 62.14.040)
(E) Planning Commission approval of layout required before construction.
(1) Each new application for the construction and enlargement of a mobile home park shall first be submitted to, and approved by, the Planning Commission before the Building Inspector may issue a construction permit or certificate of occupancy, or before the City Recorder may issue a license therefor. With each such application, the owner shall submit a preliminary plat showing the layout of scale. After approval of the preliminary plat, a complete development and plot plan drawn to scale not less than one inch equals 50 feet shall be submitted in duplicate. This plan shall show:
(a) The physical features of the property to be occupied, ditches, streams, trees, and existing buildings or structures, and the like;
(b) The complete layout and proposed location of service buildings or other buildings, playgrounds, service yards, and garbage collector stations, if any;
(c) The location of utilities, such as power, telephone, water, fire hydrant and extinguishers, sewer, and such other facilities as required or otherwise proposed; and
(d) The location, size, and dimension of each mobile home space, and location of a mobile home and structure within.
(2) The Planning Commission, in the performance of its function in this capacity, shall take into consideration topography of the land and its other physical features.
(Prior Code, § 62.14.050)
(F) Density of permanent mobile home units in a mobile home park. The maximum number of mobile home units shall not exceed a density of nine units per acre.
(Prior Code, § 62.14.060)
(G) Density of transient travel trailers, and the like, in an overnight trailer park. The maximum number of travel trailer units shall not exceed a density of 25 units per acre.
(Prior Code, § 62.14.070)
(H) Mobile home space. The limits of each mobile home space should be clearly marked on the ground by permanent flush stakes, markers, fences, or other suitable means, and each such space shall be of such size as will be necessary to accommodate a mobile home and its facilities and required open space; provided that no such space shall be smaller in size than specified hereunder: for area, 3,000 square feet.
(Prior Code, § 62.14.080)
(I) Overnight trailer space. The minimum area of an overnight trailer space shall be 1,000 square feet.
(Prior Code, § 62.14.090)
(J) Mobile home space layout.
(1) For mobile home stands, the portion of the stand designed for the location of mobile home shall be a clearly-defined area not less than ten feet wide and 45 feet long, and hard-surfaced with either a concrete slab or other suitable base to carry the weight of the mobile home. The portion of the stand designed for the location of a cabana or other add-on enclosed space and patio, as permitted, shall be similarly hard-surfaced with a hot plant mix sheet asphalt, concrete, brick, block, or similar material over the overall area, in addition to an appropriate and adequate foundation or support for such structures.
(2) For yards, space between boundary lines of the mobile home space and each mobile home, cabana, or other add-on space shall be provided as follows (where there is more than one requirement, the more restrictive shall apply):
(a) From mobile home stand to the stand line on opposite side of access road: 50 feet minimum;
(b) Between a mobile home stand and a common parking area, access road, or pedestrian walkway: ten feet minimum;
(c) Between a mobile home stand and a public major, or collector, street: 30 feet with ornamental screening; otherwise, 50 feet;
(d) Between the side of any mobile home stand and the boundary of a mobile home park: 15 feet with ornamental screening; otherwise, 25 feet;
(e) Between the non-entry side of mobile home stand and mobile home space boundary: five feet minimum. Between entry side of stand and boundary: 15 feet minimum. Total sum of side yards: 20 feet minimum. Where, due to the shape of the mobile home space, it is desirable to locate the mobile home stand closer than 15 feet to the mobile home space boundary, the Planning Commission may authorize a reduction where the corner of the stand could be closer than 15 feet; provided that the average space shall not be less than 15 feet wide and that the reduced distance be not less than five feet. Awnings or other temporary covers over patios may encroach into any required yard space; provided that they shall not be closer than five feet to the boundary or the mobile home space;
(f) Yard space between end of stand and boundary line: five feet minimum; and
(g) Mobile home stands shall be located so as to provide that they are spaced not less than 20 feet apart from side to side, and not less than ten feet apart end to end.
(3) Required parking for towing vehicles shall be provided on hard-surfaced areas on the mobile home space and/or in parking bays adjacent thereto. No parking space used in conjunction with one mobile space shall be located closer than 15 feet to the stand on an adjacent mobile home space.
(4) Structures as permitted, as set forth in § 157.260, may not be located closer than ten feet to any mobile home space boundary, except that no such structure shall be located between a mobile home stand and a public street.
(5) This division (J) shall not apply to overnight trailer parks.
(Prior Code, § 62.14.100)
(K) Mobile home park layout.
(1) All access roads shall be retained as private roads on the property. The gradient of any road providing access either to the mobile home park or to an individual mobile home stand shall be more than 8%.
(2) The location of management office buildings shall be in accordance with the zoning ordinance regulating the location or main buildings; service buildings, if detached, shall also be located as required for accessory buildings. Service facilities may be provided as a part of the main building if desired.
