In all other respects, all of the provisions of the code shall apply to such a subdivision. (Ord. 13-8 § 4 (Exh. A), 6/11/13)

16.17.020 Mobilehome Divisions of Land.

A.    The approving authority may approve a tentative map of a division of land which does not comply in all respects with the requirements of this chapter if:

1.    The approving authority finds:

a.    The division of land is for mobilehome purposes only,

b.    The units of space proposed on the tentative map are for mobilehomes and related facilities only and the development of a mobilehome park on the property included within the division of land is in conformance with the code;

2.    On such tentative map and on the final map or parcel map, there appear, in letters no less than one-fourth (1/4) inch in height, the words: “DIVISION OF LAND FOR MOBILEHOME PURPOSES ONLY.”

B.    A person shall not use, lease, sell, mortgage, place a deed of trust or other lien upon a unit of space within a mobilehome division of land for any purpose other than a mobilehome and related facilities.

C.    Except that the units in a division of land for mobilehome purposes need not comply with the provisions of Section 16.13.010 (Area and Width—Requirements Generally), this section does not modify in any way any requirements in the code or any other ordinance or law as to area or width requirements.

D.    In a mobilehome land division, the owners of the units of space which are occupied by mobilehomes and which may also be occupied by accessory uses will hold an undivided interest in the common areas which will in turn provide the necessary access and utility easements for the units. A note to this effect shall be on the final map or parcel map.

E.    Title to the units and common areas in a mobilehome division of land and control and maintenance of the common areas shall be similar to those for condominiums as contained in the Civil Code. (Ord. 13-8 § 4 (Exh. A), 6/11/13)

16.17.030 Division of Land Adjacent to Existing Roads.

A.    If the approving authority finds that the proposed division of land abuts an existing road which has improvements insufficient for the general use of the lot owners and the division of land and local neighborhood and drainage needs, it may disapprove the design of the division unless the subdivider improves or agrees to improve such road to the same standards required of roads within all divisions of land by Chapter 16.07 (Design Standards).

B.    Where a subdivider proposes to connect to an existing dead-end or cul-de-sac street in which a turnaround has been installed, the approving authority may require the reconstruction of existing street improvements as a condition of such connection. If the subdivider makes or agrees to make the required improvements, all of the provisions of the code which apply to improvements and agreements to improve within a division of land shall apply. (Ord. 13-8 § 4 (Exh. A), 6/11/13)

16.17.040 Transit and Nonmotorized Access.

Developments shall incorporate and be designed to encourage access by public transit and nonmotorized modes of travel (e.g., bicycle, pedestrian).

(Ord. 13-8 § 4 (Exh. A), 6/11/13)
