Chapter 17.210 — MOBILE HOME PARKS

The California Legislature has declared that there is a need to eliminate the distinction between mobilehome development and conventional forms of residential land use. The purpose of this chapter is to establish standards for the development of mobilehome parks, in accordance with Government Code Section 65852.7 and the Mobilehome Parks Act (Health and Safety Code Section 18200 et seq.).

(Ord. 247, 1/15/2025)

Mobilehome parks and subdivisions shall be subject to approval of a Major Development Review application (refer to Chapter 17.85 ) as designated in Article II, Tables of Allowed Land Uses and Approval Requirements. (Ord. 247, 1/15/2025)

The following shall apply to all mobilehome parks:

• A. Minimum Site Area. The minimum site that may be developed for a mobilehome park shall be five gross acres.

• E. Recreation. On-site recreation shall be provided at a ratio of not less than 150 square feet per dwelling unit.

• F. Perimeter Setbacks. All mobilehome subdivisions and mobilehome parks shall provide a setback along all adjoining boundary streets equal to the minimum setbacks of the applicable zone, but in no case less than 20 feet along an adjoining street nor less than 15 feet to side and rear setback along all non-street boundaries of the development.

• G. Perimeter Wall. A six-foot decorative masonry wall shall be erected along all perimeter property lines, except that the wall shall be erected not less than 10 feet from the property line along the street side of the parcel, or the required front yard setback line of the applicable zone district, whichever is greater.
