Title

Consider and take action on an ordinance repealing Chapter 66 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of League City entitled “MANUFACTURED HOMES AND TRAILERS” and adopting a new Chapter 66 to be entitled “MANUFACTURED HOMES AND RECREATIONAL VEHICLES” to clarify requirements for placement and occupancy of manufactured homes and recreational vehicles (City Attorney)

 

Background:

The current Chapter 66 in the City’s Code of Ordinances regulates mobile homes and travel trailers but is outdated because these provisions predate the City’s adoption of zoning and changes in state law regarding manufactured homes. In addition, existing provisions in Chapter 66 relative to travel trailers are ambiguous and poorly worded. The proposed repeal and re-adoption would remove sections that are redundant to the City’s subdivision and zoning ordinances and enact clear rules regarding use of recreational vehicles, including creating the allowance for their temporary use in the aftermath of a declared disaster in order to provide onsite housing at the site of a single family residence that must undergo repairs and which is uninhabitable until the repairs are complete.
