Resolution No. 291
EXHIBIT "A"
The proposed amendment is needed to clarify the ordinance
regulations prohibiting mobile homes and trailers in residential
districts. The City staff has considerable difficulty persuading
people who desire to occupy such dwellings and vehicles that by
exclusion from the stated permitted uses listed in the Zoning Ordi-
nance, they are, in fact, a prohibited use.
Also, the definition of mobile homes and trailers needs
to be improved.
EXHIBIT "B"
Section 12.12.140 Mobile Home A single family dwelling over 32' in
length, assembled complete with household appliances, and transported
to a site ready for occupancy.
Section 12.12.210 Trailer A vehicle designed for short-term living
with self-contained water, electrical, and sanitary facilities, and
small enough to be towed by a standard automobile.
Section 12.13.030 A. Single -Family Dwelling, but specifically excluding
Mobile Homes and Trailers.
Section 12.13.070 B. Any primary use permitted in the Single —Family,
RS, classification as described and regulated
therein, but specifically excluding Mobile Homes
and Trailers.
Section 12013.110 B. Any primary use permitted in the RS and RD zone,
as regulated therein, but specifically excluding
