Special Occupancy Parks ActLots
Section § 18872
This law requires a department to create rules for building, using, living in, and maintaining parks and their lots. These rules must ensure the health, safety, and well-being of people living in these parks. Additionally, these rules need to offer at least the same level of protection as those in place back on December 31, 1977.
Section § 18872.1
This law section explains that any changes to the boundaries of lots within a park need a permit from the enforcement agency and permission from the people living or renting those lots. Before making any changes, these lot lines cannot be altered in a way that would breach space or separation rules. The park owner must apply for the permit, including a list of affected occupants, and might have to provide documents like a plot plan showing the changes. If a plot plan is submitted, copies must be delivered to all affected residents. The department may charge a fee for this permit. If the changes alter the number of lots available, the local planning agency must also receive a copy of the permit application.
Section § 18872.2
This law mandates that the department create rules about how to design and maintain park lot access and driveways. These rules are aimed at ensuring the health, safety, and well-being of park residents. They must also offer the same or greater level of protection as the rules that were in place at the end of 1977.
