The purpose of the combining mobilehome park district is to provide for the accommodation of mobilehomes in planned, integrated, mobilehome parks and mobilehome subdivisions so as to protect the health, safety and welfare of the community. The “MHP” combining district is a residential zone and may be combined with any residentially zoned district. Wherever considered in this title, a mobilehome is deemed to be a dwelling. In determining the desirability of permitting the development of a mobilehome park/subdivision in any given area, the planning commission shall be guided by the city General Plan and by:

All provisions of the California Administrative Code, Title 25, Housing and Community Development, shall apply to development within the “MHP” combining mobilehome district except where ordinances of the city are more restrictive, and shall be enforced by the city.

All uses in the “MHP” district shall require a use permit pursuant to Section 23.57.040.

Uses permitted subject to obtaining a use permit and site development approval shall be as follows:

Site development approval pursuant to Chapter 23.75 shall be required for the following:

No parcel of land containing less than fifteen (15) acres may be used for the purposes permitted in the “MHP” combining district.

The maximum permitted density per gross acre shall be the same as for the base zoning district but in no case shall the density be greater than as prescribed by the general plan for the property.

Maximum building height in the “MHP” district shall be two (2) stories or thirty-five (35) feet.

General provisions:

A minimum six (6) foot high wall shall be constructed along all boundaries adjoining other properties and twenty (20) feet back of the property line adjacent to any public street.

Landscaping consisting of trees, shrubs, vines, ground cover or combination thereof shall be required for the following:

The provisions of Section 23.90.210 shall apply.

Vehicular access to mobilehome parks/subdivisions shall have a minimum right-of-way width of fifty (50) feet and shall have incorporated in the right-of-way a median the width of which shall be eight (8) feet.

Pedestrian access into the mobilehome park/subdivision shall be provided by connecting the interior pedestrian pathway network with sidewalks located in the right-of-way of perimeter streets.

Mobilehome lot dimensions, area, and setback requirements shall be as prescribed by Title 25 of the California Administrative Code, Housing and Community Development.

Every mobilehome park/subdivision shall have a parking space ratio of two (2) spaces per mobilehome lot (may be in tandem), plus one (1) additional space per every five (5) mobilehome lots provided as guest parking. Guest parking spaces shall be distributed throughout the mobilehome park. In addition to the above requirements, there shall be provided one (1) boat or travel trailer space at ten (10) feet by thirty (30) feet for every five (5) mobilehome lots.

Internal access roads shall be paved to a width of not less than thirty-six (36) feet. However, access roads of thirty (30) feet may be permitted with parking only along one side. Where greater widths are prescribed by Title 25 of the California Administrative Code, Housing and Community Development, the greater width shall govern. All roads shall be constructed to city standards and approved by the city engineer prior to installation.

All utility services within a mobilehome park/subdivision shall be underground.

A recreation area of a size equivalent to three hundred fifty (350) square feet per dwelling unit shall be provided.

Every mobilehome park/subdivision shall provide separate laundry facilities. One (1) automatic washer shall be provided for every eight (8) lots and one (1) automatic dryer shall be provided for every twelve (12) lots.

The mobilehome lot shall be graded to keep water drainage from pooling under the mobilehome unit. Wheels, hubs or axles, may be removed from mobilehomes provided mobilehome pads are prepared and mobilehomes sited in one of the following ways:

All garbage cans and/or central collection containers shall be stored behind decorative screens.

No air conditioning or cooling apparatus shall be permitted on the roof of any mobilehome.

No mobilehome shall be hauled to, or stored within a mobilehome park unless it is properly erected on a site approved for such use.

A master television antenna shall be provided for the mobilehome park/subdivision and individual antennae shall not be allowed.
