A mobile home park may be closed or converted to another use pursuant to State Law only after the person or public or private entity proposing the closure has prepared a report evaluating the impact of the closure upon the park's tenants, the regional availability of replacement mobile home units and mobile home relocation sites, and the costs of the tenant relocation. A copy of the report shall be provided to each tenant and to the Planning and Building Department Director not less than twelve months prior to the proposed date of closure. The person proposing the closure shall provide evidence to the Director that all tenants received both a copy of the report and a notice that any tenant may request a hearing before the Planning Commission. For purposes of this Section, a tenant shall be an owner of a mobile home who is renting or leasing a pad or site for the mobile home within the park.

If the Director receives a hearing request within fifteen calendar days of the date that the last tenant was provided a copy of the report, a hearing shall be scheduled for the next available Planning Commission meeting. Each tenant in the mobile home park, the property owner(s) of the park, and the person proposing the closure of the park shall be mailed a notice of the time and place of the hearing not less than ten days prior to the scheduled date of the hearing.

At the hearing, the Planning Commission shall review the report and receive testimony from any person regarding the report. The Planning Commission may require the preparer of the report to provide additional information and data to the report for a subsequent hearing date if the Planning Commission determines that the report inadequately addresses the pertinent issues, or the Planning Commission may accept the report. If the report is accepted, the Planning Commission may, as a prerequisite to the park's closure, require the person proposing the closure to take specific steps to mitigate any adverse impact of the closure upon the tenants. The mitigating steps shall not exceed the reasonable costs of relocation. The determination of the Planning Commission may be appealed to the City Council pursuant to the procedures and fees for appealing a Special Use Permit. Each tenant of the mobile home park shall receive written notification of the determination of the Planning Commission and, if applicable, of the City Council. The closure of the mobile home park shall not commence sooner than nine months following the final determination.

Trailers, mobile homes, recreational vehicles, cargo containers or similar transportable enclosures shall not be utilized for residential units, commercial or office facilities or storage enclosures, except as otherwise provided in this Article.

Manufactured housing or mobile homes certified by the National Mobile Home Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974 shall be permitted only on a lot zoned for single-family residential uses subject to the following conditions:
