It is the intent of the mobile home park district to provide a continued opportunity for low and moderate income housing in the county by providing for the development of mobile home parks in addition to conventional single-family lot and multifamily structure situations. It is further intended that the district set forth development standards for mobile home parks which may be applied in rural or urban area on a countywide basis. The application of this district must be in areas designated by the general plan and mobile home park. Changes of district from mobile home park to another classification are to be made only where such uses are in accord with the general plan or adopted specific plan.

The regulations set forth in the chapter apply in all MHP districts outside of the California Coastal Zone and are subject to the provisions of Title 20 of this code.
