15.44.075 Mobile homes in R-1 zones.
A. Permit Required. Upon the granting of a permit therefor by the city’s building director, and notwithstanding any other provision of this code, mobile homes certified under the National Mobilehome Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. Section 5401 et seq.) and installed on a foundation system pursuant to Section 18551 of the Health and Safety Code shall be permitted on lots within R-1 zones. Upon application therefor pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 15.12 and payment of applicable fees, the building director shall grant such permit if, but only if, he or she makes the following findings:
1. The lot upon which such mobile home is to be installed is determined to be compatible for such mobile home use (for purposes hereof, it shall be conclusively presumed that a lot is compatible if the roof overhang, roofing materials, and siding materials (and extent thereof) conform generally to and are in harmony with dwellings in the immediate neighborhood of the lot); and
2. The applicant accepts as conditions of such permit conditions that the proposed installation be made in full compliance with all applicable provisions of state law, including, but not limited to, the provisions of Health and Safety Code Section 18551, and that such installation be made in full compliance with each development standard to which a conventional single-family residential dwelling on the same lot would subject to, including, but not limited to, building setback standards, side and rear yard requirements, standards for enclosures, access, and vehicle parking.
B. Refusal of Permit—Appeal. Whenever the building director withholds or refuses to issue a permit required under this section, the applicant for the permit may, within ten days from the date of the building director’s decision, appeal such decision to the city council. The city clerk shall set the matter for public hearing before the city council and shall give notice of such hearing as prescribed in subdivisions 1 and 2 of subsection C of Section 16.16.060 of this code. Upon such hearing, the city council shall direct issuance of such permit if, but only if, it makes the findings set forth in subsection A of this section. The decision of the city council shall be final. (Ord. 2652 § 1, 1981; Ord. 2648 § 1, 1981; prior code § 15.44.075)
