Should decorum fail to be restored, the Chair will recess the meeting 59 until such time that a genuine commitment to this public charge is observed. 60 61 62 AGENDA ITEM 6: CHAIR COMMENTS 63 64 No comments 65 66 Agenda Item 7: Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Text Amendment - To make a recommendation 67 to the BOCC on government initiated amendments to the UDO to modify the Mobile Home 68 Park Conditional Zoning District (MHP-CZ) to a Home Park Conditional Zoning District (HP-69 CZ). The reclassified district would allow for both [permanent mobile homes and recreational 70 vehicles (RVs) on a temporary basis. This item is scheduled for the February 13, 2017 71 quarterly public hearing. 72 73 Presenter: Patrick Mallett, Planner II 74 75 Patrick Mallett reviewed the abstract 76 77 Tony Blake: Some of those mobile home parks are within the water and sewer boundary area, does that mean they 78 could have water and sewer if they wanted to? Or do they have water and sewer? 79 80 Patrick Mallett: Theoretically. I would guess that the mast majority of these are operating on well and septic. 81 82 Alan Clapp: We’ve got about 70 that are only the well or septic. 83 84 Lydia Wegman: How big are some of the larger parks? 85 86 Michael Harvey: You have some parks in the County that have a couple hundred units. And remember that an 87 individual unit is on a space approximately 5,000 square feet, at least according to current code. 88 89 Patrick Mallett continued presentation. 90 91 Tony Blake: What do you mean by “could help solidify addressing”? 92 93 Patrick Mallett: So part of that exhaustive research is that… A mobile home park is much like a condo. You don’t 94 have individual lots. You have one track that is theoretically owned by one owner or one corporation or entity and 95 they have spaces like an apartment or a condo with stalls and hookups and then you pay a rent to the owner. My 96 understanding is in some cases you could buy a deeded reference to the space. So what’s happening is the 97 addressing, not all of these are addressed in our database or are they clearly labeled to be able to drive into a mobile 98 home park and be able to locate a specific unit. I don’t know that your average person, either tenant or owner, would 99 necessarily make the connection that that’s the address. 100 101 Michael Harvey: To expand upon that, that current ordinance says that it’s up to the park owner as part of the 102 development process to establish a system 1a, 1b, 1c. The revised ordinance requires a mobile home park to be 103 addressed consistent with the County addressing ordinance. So each individual stall will be addressed with a number 104 consistent with the County’s ordinance so there can be no dispute over what’s 101, 103, 110. And they all will have to 105 display address numbers consistent with that address ordinance. That’s the big link we’re doing here. 106
