The California Legislature has declared that there is a need to eliminate the distinction between mobilehome development and conventional forms of residential land use, and has enacted Section 65852.7 of the Government Code and amended Section 18300 of the Health and Safety Code to allow for mobilehome parks in residential zones. Section 65852.7 of the Government Code requires that the county permit mobilehome parks in all residential zones subject to the issuance of a conditional use permit. Section 18300 of the Health and Safety Code provides that the county shall not require clubhouses, and recreational facilities unless such facilities are required for other similar residential developments. It is the intent of the board of supervisors in adopting this chapter to enact provisions which will permit mobilehome parks in residential zones in compliance with Government Code Section 65852.7 and Health and Safety Code Section 18300.
