To permit development of mobile home parks, as defined herein, in appropriate zones and to require that mobile home accommodations will be of such character as to promote the objectives and purposes of this chapter, to protect the integrity and character of the districts contiguous to those in which mobile home parks are located, and to protect other use values contiguous to or near mobile home park uses. (Ord. 2013-5, 8-12-2013, eff. 8-27-2013)

   A.   A "mobile home" as herein defined shall be located, placed, used or occupied only within an approved mobile home park, or by a conditional use permit in an agricultural zone. (Ord. 2013-5, 8-12-2013, eff. 8-27-2013)

Mobile home parks may not be constructed unless first approved by the Kane County Land Use Authority and the Kane County Commission, after site plan review of the said mobile home park by the Kane County Land Use Authority. The Land Use Authority and the Kane County Commission shall approve a proposed mobile home park if it will:

   A.   Be in keeping with the general character of the district within which the development is to be located.

   B.   Be located on a parcel of land containing not less than two (2) acres.

   C.   Have a least ten (10) spaces completed and ready for occupancy before first occupancy is permitted.

   D.   Shall be connected to the appropriate utilities. Feasibility letters from each entity will be required prior to approval.

   E.   Be developed according to plans prepared by a professional engineer. It is the intent of Kane County that the developer solves problems associated with the development before approval is given and construction begins. The mobile homes may be clustered, provided that the total number of units does not exceed the density set forth in Chapter 6 Article B, Multi Residential Zone. The remaining land not contained in individual lots, roads, or parking, shall be set aside and developed as parks, playground, and service areas for common use and enjoyment of occupants of the development and of the visitors thereto.
