No person shall promote, establish, operate, or knowingly participate in any trailer roundup which is not in compliance with the requirements of this chapter.

The Building Official may issue a permit for the operation of a trailer roundup for a period not to exceed ten days. No such permit shall be issued unless the building officer determines that:

(a)

An application for the permit has been submitted by a club, group or association organized for the purpose of promoting trailer roundups.

(b)

The owner or lessee of the property on which the trailer roundup is to be held has consented to the submission of the application for permit.

(c)

The applicant has shown that the trailer roundup will be so operated that it will not adversely affect the health or safety of participants or the public and will not interfere with the enjoyment of neighboring properties by the occupants thereof.

(d)

The trailer roundup will not violate any provision of Title 20 of this Code, the zoning ordinance.

Any club, group or organization desiring a trailer roundup permit shall file with the Building Official a written application on a form provided by the Building Official. The application shall be accompanied by such supplementary information as may be required by the Building Official. At the time of filing such application, the applicant shall pay an application fee of $25.00, which fee shall not be refundable.

Every trailer roundup permit shall be issued subject to the following conditions:

(a)

That no accessory building, structure or external appurtenance used or designed to be used incidental to the use or occupancy of a trailer coach shall be erected, constructed or maintained on the site on which any trailer coach is located; provided, however, that an awning which complies with the requirements of the regulations issued pursuant to Section 18053 of the Health and Safety Code may be attached to a trailer coach.

(b)

That every trailer coach participating in the roundup be connected to a sewage disposal system which complies with the requirements of the regulations issued pursuant to Section 18054 of the Health and Safety Code; provided, however, that if such a system is not available on the site, and sanitary facilities deemed adequate by the Health Officer are located within 200 feet of the location of every trailer coach participating in the roundup and are available to the user or occupant of each such trailer coach, the permit may be issued subject to the condition that each trailer coach participating in the roundup must be used or occupied without being connected to a sewage disposal system.

(c)

That no trailer coach participating in the roundup shall be permanently connected to any water, gas or electricity source or to any sewer system or sewage disposal facility, but may be temporarily connected to such utility source or sewage system or facility in a manner approved by the Building Official.

(d)

That each trailer coach participating in the roundup shall be placed and maintained only at such location on the lot or site as is designated on a plot plan which has been approved by the Building Official.

(e)

That the trailer roundup not be conducted in any manner which would violate State law, the San Marcos Municipal Code or Title 20 of this Code, the zoning ordinance.

The Building Official may, in his discretion, issue a permit subject to such additional conditions as he deems necessary to ensure that the trailer roundup will not constitute a public or private nuisance and will conform to State law, the San Marcos City Code and Title 19 of this Code, the zoning ordinance.

The Building Official may revoke any trailer roundup permit for failure of the permittee to comply with any condition of the permit. Such revocation shall become effective when notice of the revocation is served upon the permittee or posted at the place where the trailer roundup is to be or is being held.
