§ 17.52.020. Mobilehome subdivision standards.

The following standards of development shall apply to mobilehome subdivisions:

A.

No real property shall be used unless a subdivision has been recorded pursuant to the provisions of the county land division Ordinance No. 460 and this chapter.

B.

Mobilehomes shall meet the following minimum lot setbacks: twenty (20) feet front yard, five feet side yard and five feet rear yard. The twenty (20) foot front setback may be reduced on interior streets to ten (10) feet if community recreation areas are developed as a part of the subdivision. No structural encroachments shall be permitted in the front, side or rear yard except as provided for in Section 17.172.140.

C.

Building height shall not exceed three stories, with a maximum height of forty (40) feet.

D.

Minimum lot size shall be either of the following:

1.

Minimum lot size of seven thousand two hundred (7,200) square feet, with a minimum average width of sixty (60) feet and a minimum frontage of not less than forty-five (45) feet and a minimum average depth of one hundred (100) feet for each lot. Lots fronting on knuckle and cul-de-sac streets may have a frontage of not less than thirty-five (35) feet. Lots that do not front on a street shall be permitted only upon a finding by the planning commission that it is impractical due to topographical conditions, terrain or configuration of the parcel of land to develop full street frontage lots. Such lots, designated as flag lots, shall meet all lot requirements except that requirement of street frontage but shall have an access strip to a street not less than twenty (20) feet wide and not exceeding one hundred fifty (150) feet in length;

2.

Minimum lot size of three thousand six hundred (3,600) square feet, with a minimum average width of forty (40) feet and a minimum frontage of not less than thirty (30) feet, if community open areas or recreational facilities or a combination thereof, are developed as a part of the subdivision. The standards for the recreation area shall be as follows:

a.

A minimum of five hundred (500) square feet for each residential lot in the subdivision shall be developed into usable community open and recreation areas. The combined square footage of community area and residential lot area, not including streets rights-of-way, shall total no less than six thousand (6,000) square feet for each residential lot in the subdivision.

b.

The recreation areas shall be designated on the subdivision map and shall be located entirely within the subdivision development.

E.

For subdivisions that include community open or recreation areas, a community association with the unqualified right to assess the owners of the residential lots for all maintenance operations and other costs of the common areas and facilities and the community association shall be established and continuously maintained. The association shall have the right to lien the lots of owners who default in the payment of their assessments. The association's lien shall not be subordinate to any encumbrance other than a deed of trust or mortgage made in good faith and for value which is of record prior to the recordation of the lien of the association. Prior to recordation of the final subdivision map, the developer shall submit for approval the declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions for the project. The approved declaration shall be recorded at the time of the recording of the final subdivision map.

F.

The following improvements shall be installed on all lots used for residential purposes:

1.

A concrete slab or other metal or wood deck containing at least two hundred (200) square feet;

2.

The area between the ground level and the floor of a mobilehome shall be screened from view by an opaque skirt entirely around the mobilehome.

G.

No common area for storage of camp and boat trailers shall be permitted unless it is designated on the subdivision map.

H.

Not more than one mobilehome for residential purposes shall be permitted on a lot.

I.

Whenever the soil is excavated below a mobilehome, a retaining wall shall be installed extending six inches above grade. Plans for the retaining wall shall be approved by the county building and safety department.
