Establish, maintain and enforce the minimum responsibilities of owners and operators of mobile home parks and travel trailer parks;

D.

Provide relief for all nonconforming mobile home and travel trailer parks.

(Ord. 99-8 § 1 (part): prior code § 17.16.020)

This regulation shall apply to applications for a conditional use permit to engage in the site selection, development or alteration of a mobile home park or travel trailer park within the incorporated boundaries of the city.

(Ord. 99-8 § 1 (part): prior code § 17.16.030)

(Ord. 99-8 § 1 (part): prior code § 17.16.050)

A.

Nothing in this regulation shall be construed as exempting an applicant for a permit for the development of a mobile home park or travel trailer park as a conditional use in an allowable zoning district from any other requirements of the city or from other state of Colorado or federal laws, regulations or requirements.

A.

The site selection, development or alteration of a mobile home park or travel trailer park as a conditional use in a designated zoning district shall be allowed upon review and recommendation by the planning commission, and city council issuing a CUP. Issuance of a CUP for a mobile home park or travel trailer park shall be subject to such safeguards as city council may see fit to impose in order that the conditional use comply with the general intent and special provisions of this title and be in harmony with the population and resources of the surrounding area.

B.

CUPs for the site selection, development or alteration of mobile home parks and travel trailer parks are issued for an indefinite time period but may be reviewed, revoked or limited by the city council for failure to comply with the provisions contained within this title.

Where a public supply of water is available, as determined by a written statement from the appropriate water supply authority, connection shall be made to that supply and it shall be used exclusively. Independent water supplies shall be allowed only if a public water supply is not available and upon permission of the planning commission and only if such supply meets all applicable city and state of Colorado laws and regulations. The number of spaces to be occupied shall be limited to the quantity of water available to supply each such space with the minimum requirements.

Each mobile home park water supply system shall be connected by pipes of adequate size and material to all service buildings and mobile home spaces and shall be constructed and maintained to protect against backflow or other source of contamination, against shifting of mobile home units and against frost, except that failure of a unit occupant to skirt that unit as required herein shall relieve a mobile home park operator of responsibility from frost damage;

C.

Management and Maintenance. The permittee or the operator of a mobile home park or travel trailer park shall operate such mobile home park or travel trailer park in compliance with this regulation and the other applicable provisions of this title and all additional rules, regulations and laws of the city and provide adequate supervision to maintain the mobile home park or travel trailer park together with its facilities and equipment in good repair and in clean and sanitary condition at all times.

(Ord. 99-8 § 1 (part): prior code § 17.16.170)

Any existing mobile home park or travel trailer park or any portion thereof that becomes nonconforming at the time of the adoption of this title shall be governed by the following provisions:

A.

Meaning and Intent. A nonconforming mobile home park or travel trailer park shall be a mobile home park or travel trailer park that lawfully existed before the adoption of the ordinance codified in this chapter, or any regulations previously adopted by the city, but which is prohibited by the provisions contained within this chapter.

It is the intent of this title to allow for the continuation of such nonconforming uses, so long as they meet the provisions contained herein, but not to permit their enlargement, nor to allow their resumption should they be discontinued for a period of one year or substantially damaged by fire or other cause.

B.

Abandonment of Use. If active and continuous operations are not carried on at a nonconforming mobile home park or travel trailer park during a continuous period of one year, the mobile home park or travel trailer park shall be brought into compliance with the provisions of this or such mobile home park or travel trailer park shall be permanently discontinued.

C.

Restoration. Any nonconforming mobile home park or travel trailer park may be restored to such use unless such mobile home park or travel trailer park is damaged or destroyed by fire or other cause to the extent of more than fifty (50) percent of its replacement cost at the time of the destruction. In cases where the destruction was due to causes beyond the control of the owner and the destruction was less than total, the board of adjustment may allow restoration upon a finding of exceptional and undue hardship.

Such restoration must be substantially completed within two years from when it became nonconforming or from when the board of adjustment allowed such restoration in such cases where board of adjustment approval is necessary.

D.

Enlargement. No nonconforming mobile home park or travel trailer park shall be structurally altered or expanded in any way that would increase the degree or area of nonconformance. In matters pertaining to restoration, the provisions of the Dangerous Buildings Code and other such building, fire, plumbing, mechanical and other codes as the city has adopted shall apply unless such provisions are in conflict with or inconsistent with provisions contained within this title, in which case the provisions contained herein shall prevail.

E.

Alteration. Nonconforming buildings within a mobile home park or travel trailer park may be altered to make that building conform to established safety requirements. Maintenance repairs may be undertaken to keep the building in sound condition and alterations are permitted which would reduce the degree of nonconformance or change the use to one of conformance.

Any nonconforming independent mobile home that is removed from an existing mobile home park can only be replaced by a conforming independent mobile home or other conforming structure or use.

F.

Structures Under Construction. Any nonconforming structure within a mobile home park or travel trailer park for which a valid building permit has been issued before the use or structure became nonconforming may be completed and occupied in accordance with the provisions of the building permit that was previously issued, subject to the other provisions of this chapter.

G.

Title Default. If the title to any mobile home park or travel trailer park shall transfer by reason of tax delinquency and such property is not redeemed as provided by law, the future use of such property shall be in conformity with the provisions of this title and all other city regulations and ordinances.
