Zoning Ordinance Amendments <br /> (1) Article 7.20 - Mobile Home Parks <br /> The proposed amendments were presented at public <br /> hearing on February 23, 1987. <br /> New mobile home parks must be approved as planned <br /> . developments and require the issuance of a special use <br /> permit prior to construction. Article 7.20 of the <br /> Zoning Ordinance contains design standards applicable <br /> to such parks. The standards were adopted March 18, <br /> 1987. <br /> Since November 3, 1986, the Planning Board Ordinance <br /> Review Committee has been working with mobile home <br /> park owner/operators in reviewing the design <br /> standards. The proposed revisions represent changes <br /> to Article 7.20 as applicable to new mobile home <br /> parks. <br /> Approval of the amendments would allow more <br /> flexibility in the design of mobile home parks while <br /> addressing public health and safety concerns. The <br /> proposed standards provide for: smaller mobile home <br /> spaces; solid foundation enclosures of uniform design; <br /> units access per State Building Code standards; <br /> flexible setback standards; street design standards; <br /> unit/street numbering as well as traffic control <br /> signs; properly maintained grounds; recreation areas; <br /> and landscaping limited to buffer standards and <br /> dumpster screening. <br /> The Planning staff recommends approval of the proposed <br /> amendments. <br /> KOTION: Pilkey moved approval. Seconded by Best. <br /> VOTE: Unanimous. <br />
