Chapter 17.260 — MOBILEHOMES

Chapter 17.260 - MOBILEHOMES

Sections:

The California Legislature has enacted Section 65852.3 of the Government Code (effective July 1, 1981) which provides that counties shall not prohibit the installation of qualified mobilehomes on approved foundation systems on lots that are zoned for single-family dwellings. For the purposes of this title, the term "mobilehome" shall be synonymous with the term "manufactured housing." County Ordinance No. 348 permits the installation of mobilehomes, not on foundations, in several of its existing zone classifications, subject to certain requirements and standards; it further permits for the installation of mobilehomes in the R-T and R-T-R zones. It is the intent of the board of supervisors, in adopting this chapter, to enact provisions that will allow mobilehomes to be installed on foundations in compliance with Government Code Section 65852.3; to continue to allow the installation of mobilehomes not on foundations in certain zone classifications, and to continue to permit the installation of mobilehomes in the R-T and R-T-R zones. This chapter is intended to supplement the provisions of this title relating to mobilehomes, but shall take precedence over any portion of this title that is inconsistent herewith.

(Ord. 348.2244, 1984; Ord. 348 § 19.75)

Pursuant to Section 65852.3 of the Government Code, the board of supervisors determines that all lots zoned to permit the construction of conventional single-family dwellings are compatible for the installation of a mobilehome on a foundation system.

(Ord. 348.3928 § 2 (part), 2000: Ord. 348 § 19.76)

A mobilehome may be installed on a foundation on any lot in the unincorporated area of the county of Riverside, that is zoned to permit the construction of a conventional single-family dwelling, subject to development standards of that zone; provided, that when the subject lot is adjacent to property containing a place, building, structure or other object listed on the National Register of Historic Places, a mobilehome shall be permitted, provided approval of a plot plan shall first have been obtained at a public hearing pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 17.216.

(Ord. 348.2160, 1983; Ord. 348 § 19.77)

The provisions in the various zone classifications that allow mobilehomes, subject to conditions and requirements contained therein, shall remain in effect unless amended or repealed. All specific mobilehome

provisions in the various zone classifications in county Ordinance No. 348 refer to mobilehomes not on a foundation system and shall continue in effect irrespective of the fact that certain zones may then provide for mobilehomes both on and not on a foundation system. For purposes of permit issuance, the mobilehome on a foundation is allowed whenever a conventional single-family dwelling is allowed, subject to the requirements of this chapter. The mobilehome not on a foundation is allowed whenever it is specifically so provided in the various zone classifications in county Ordinance No. 348, subject to any requirements set forth therein. When a mobilehome is not in conformance with the development standards of the zone classification in which it is located, that mobilehome constitutes a nonconforming use, and as such cannot be altered except to comply with the requirements of this chapter, and as allowed in Section 17.184.080. However, there is no specific time period in which the mobilehome must be removed.

(Ord. 348.2160, 1983; Ord. 348 § 19.79)

The sections in the R-T, R-T-R, R-R, R-R-0 and W-2-M zones which provide for mobilehomes shall remain in effect; however, a person shall be permitted to install a mobilehome in said zones either on or not on a foundation system.

(Ord. 348.3053, 1989; Ord. 348.2358, 1984; Ord. 348.2244, 1984; Ord. 348.2160, 1983; Ord. 348.1965, 1981; Ord. 348 § 19.80)
