It is the intent of the rural mobilehome park district to provide an opportunity for low and moderate income housing within the county's rural areas by providing for the development of mobilehome parks at a greater density than generally found in rural areas. It is further intended that the district set forth development standards which may be applied to mobilehome parks in rural areas on a countywide basis. It is not the intent of this district to provide for the development of recreational vehicle park spaces or uses. The application of this district must be in areas designated by the general plan for rural mobilehome park development. Changes of district from rural mobilehome 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 this chapter shall apply in all RMPH districts outside of the California Coastal Zone and are subject to the provisions of Title 20 of this code.
