The general purpose of the MHS/PUD district is to facilitate the development of a greater range of housing alternatives, in terms of type and cost, in areas designated for residential use by the city's land use plan. The general intent is to ensure a safe and attractive residential environment by promoting high standards of site planning for mobile/modular home subdivisions and mobile/modular home planned unit developments. Additionally, the establishment of provisions for both mobile/modular home subdivisions and mobile/modular home planned unit developments have more specific purposes:

1.

The purpose of establishing provisions for a mobile/modular home subdivision is to permit subdivisions of not less than ten acres for independent mobile/modular homes as defined in this chapter, and to allow the sale of individual lots (with or without mobile/modular homes) to private individuals in strict conformance with the terms and conditions under which the subdivision was approved by the city.

2.

The purpose of establishing provisions for a planned unit mobile/modular home development is to permit an alternative to the mobile/modular home subdivision and to provide a mechanism for the conversion of qualified rental mobile home parks to mobile home planned unit developments. The planned unit mobile/modular home development will differ from the mobile/modular home subdivision in some respects, particularly as to development standards and jointly held common areas.

(Ord. 315 § 1 (part), 1981)

1.

For the purpose of this title, "mobile home" means a vehicle, other than a motor vehicle, that is certified under the National Mobile Home Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974 and is on a permanent foundation system that is in compliance with the standards of the Uniform Building Code, and which is in excess of eight feet in width and forty feet in length.

2.

"Modular home" means a dwelling unit constructed in whole or in part of prefabricated material or components to be assembled on-site and affixed to a permanent foundation, subject to the requirements of the Uniform Building Code.

3.

Mobile home subdivisions are not mobile home parks, travel trailer parks, recreational trailer parks, temporary trailer parks, incidental camping areas, or tent camps. Therefore, the provisions of Title 25 of the California Administrative Code regulating such mobile home parks and other parks and camps shall not apply, but those provisions of Title 25 regulating the installation, maintenance, use and occupancy of mobile homes outside of mobile home parks and other parks and camps shall apply.

Mobile home (and modular home) subdivisions shall also comply with the standards of the state Subdivision Map Act and the city subdivision ordinance.

(Ord. 315 § 1 (part), 1981)

1.

A mobile/modular home subdivision/planned unit development district shall be established only in conjunction with a residential zone. A tentative subdivision map and/or preliminary development plan shall be filed concurrently with the application for a zone change to MHS or PUD. The final subdivision map and/or development plan must have been filed for record by the county recorder prior to the issuance of any land use permit, mobile home installation permit, or building permit for the lots within the subdivision/planned unit development. An entire subdivision of land that meets all the requirements of this chapter, that has been legally subdivided pursuant to the state Subdivision Map Act, and that has not been developed may be zoned under this MHS or PUD district.

2.

After the property has been rezoned MHS or PUD and the final subdivision map and/or development plan has been filed for record, applications for the placement of individual mobile/modular homes for use as single-family dwellings and for accessory structures will be subject only to a building permit (issued by the community development department) as is the case of conventional single-family dwellings, and a mobile home installation permit (issued by the city building official).

(Ord. 315 § 1 (part), 1981)

Uses permitted in the MHS/PUD district are as follows:

1.

Mobile homes on a permanent foundation and modular homes for single-family occupancy; dwellings other than mobile/modular homes are prohibited;

2.

Uses, structures and buildings customarily incidental and subordinate to the uses permitted in this chapter;

3.

Public parks, playgrounds and community/recreation centers;

4.

Child day care facility, provided such facility does not detrimentally change the residential appearance of the property or neighborhood.

(Ord. 315 § 1 (part), 1981)

The following processes shall govern development of such units in the MHS/PUD district, in accordance with Chapter 14.72 (Accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units):

1.

Accessory dwelling units, outside the coastal zone appeals jurisdiction. shall be subject to approval of an administrative coastal development permit.

2.

Accessory dwelling units, within the coastal zone appeals jurisdiction, shall be subject to approval of an administrative coastal development permit, appealable to the California Coastal Commission as provided in Chapter 14.78 (Appeals).

3.

Junior accessory dwelling units shall be subject to issuance of a building permit.
