Home Parks
For the purpose of this title the following definitions apply:
“Mobile home” means a structure, such as those which are constructed in accordance with 24 CFR Part 3280. Mobile homes are transportable in one or more sections, which in the traveling mode are eight body feet or more in width and 40 body feet or more in length, or, when erected on site, are 320 or more square feet. Mobile homes are built on a permanent chassis and designed to be used as a dwelling with or without a permanent foundation when connected to the required utilities, including the plumbing, heating, air conditioning, and electrical systems contained therein. Calculations used to determine the number of square feet in a structure will be based on the structure’s exterior dimensions measured at the largest horizontal projections when erected on site. These dimensions will include all expandable rooms, cabinets, and other projections containing interior space, but does not include bay windows.
“Mobile home park” means a tract of land upon which seven or more mobile home spaces are located, established, or maintained for occupancy by mobile homes, modular homes, or manufactured homes. All modular or manufactured homes must comply with the requirements of KIBC Title 15, Buildings and Construction. A mobile home park may have a section of the park designated for occupancy by recreational vehicles, in accordance with Chapter 17.165 KIBC. [Ord. FY2016-06 §2, 2015; Ord. 2006-03 §3; Ord. 93-63 §1, 1993; Ord. 84-37-O §1, 1984. Formerly §17.26.005].
Except as provided in Chapter 17.140 KIBC, all mobile home parks within the borough shall be constructed, operated, and maintained in accordance with the standards set forth in this chapter. Complete responsibility for standards established by this chapter and for construction within a mobile home park shall rest with the owner of such park. When a mobile home park site plan is approved, the provisions of this chapter will apply in lieu of the provisions of the underlying zoning district. [Ord. FY2016-06 §2, 2015; Ord. 2006-03 §4. Formerly §17.26.008].
Mobile home parks shall be permitted only in the R3 multifamily residential district, and as a conditional use in the R2 and B business districts. [Ord. FY2016-06 §2, 2015; Ord. 2006-03 §5; Ord. 93-63 §1, 1993; Ord. 84-37-O §1, 1984. Formerly §17.26.010].

Every application for zoning compliance for a mobile home or a mobile home park shall include a site plan of the proposed mobile home park or expansion of an existing mobile home park except in instances where the building footprint and/or building placement is not altered. The site plan shall include:
1. The exterior boundaries of the subject property, its dimensions, and the area of the lot; and
2. All the items required by this chapter.
B. Plans for drainage, solid waste disposal, and lighting shall be submitted by the owner. Plans for sewer, water, and roads for a mobile home park shall be prepared by a registered engineer. All such plans shall be reviewed and approved by the engineering and facilities department prior to construction of the mobile home park.
C. An as-built survey may be required to accompany zoning compliance permit applications. When required, the as-built survey will show the mobile home space boundaries, space size, parking area, proposed mobile home footprint, as well as separation distances and parking areas on all adjoining mobile home park spaces.

No portion of a mobile home will be closer than five feet from the mobile home park space boundary.
F. An accessory building or a structure constructed of combustible materials shall be located no closer than five feet from any other accessory building or structure within or adjacent to the mobile home space, and no closer than six feet from any mobile home.

For the purpose of this title the following definitions apply:
“Mobile home” means a structure, such as those which are constructed in accordance with 24 CFR Part 3280. Mobile homes are transportable in one or more sections, which in the traveling mode are eight body feet or more in width and 40 body feet or more in length, or, when erected on site, are 320 or more square feet. Mobile homes are built on a permanent chassis and designed to be used as a dwelling with or without a permanent foundation when connected to the required utilities, including the plumbing, heating, air conditioning, and electrical systems contained therein. Calculations used to determine the number of square feet in a structure will be based on the structure’s exterior dimensions measured at the largest horizontal projections when erected on site. These dimensions will include all expandable rooms, cabinets, and other projections containing interior space, but does not include bay windows.
“Mobile home park” means a tract of land upon which seven or more mobile home spaces are located, established, or maintained for occupancy by mobile homes, modular homes, or manufactured homes. All modular or manufactured homes must comply with the requirements of KIBC Title 15, Buildings and Construction. A mobile home park may have a section of the park designated for occupancy by recreational vehicles, in accordance with Chapter 17.165 KIBC. [Ord. FY2016-06 §2, 2015; Ord. 2006-03 §3; Ord. 93-63 §1, 1993; Ord. 84-37-O §1, 1984. Formerly §17.26.005].
