St. Cloud Code of Ordinances § 442 § 442:09
Suspension of license
Operative Text
Subd. 1. Licenses, in whole or in part, may be suspended temporarily by the health director or their designee at any time for failure by the holder to comply with the requirements of this ordinance or whenever the health director or their designee finds unsanitary or other conditions in the operation of a manufactured home park and recreational camping area which in their judgment constitutes a substantial hazard to the public health. The licensee will be given notice of the immediate suspension on-site, which will provide conditions which need to be completed prior to license reinstatement. The suspension will take place immediately. The licensee can request a hearing within ten days' of notice of the suspension and the hearing procedure will be the same as set forth in section 442:12 . Subd. 2. Any license that has been suspended may at any time make application to the department for a reinspection for the purpose of reinstatement of the license. Within five days following receipt of a written request, including a statement signed by the applicant that the conditions causing the suspension of the license have been corrected, the health and inspections department will make a reinspection. If the applicant is complying with the requirements of this ordinance, the license will be reinstated.
St. Cloud Code of Ordinances § 442:09 establishes a process by which the health director or their designee can immediately suspend a manufactured home park or recreational camping area license—either fully or partially—when a licensee fails to meet ordinance requirements or when conditions are found to pose a substantial hazard to public health. The licensee receives on-site notice of the suspension along with the specific conditions that must be corrected before reinstatement. A suspended licensee may request a hearing within ten days and may also apply for reinspection at any time by submitting a written statement confirming the violations have been corrected, after which the department has five days to conduct the reinspection and, if compliant, restore the license.

Operators of manufactured home parks and recreational camping areas in St. Cloud should be aware that under § 442:09, the health director holds authority to suspend a license immediately and without prior warning when ordinance violations or public health hazards are identified. Compliant operators generally maintain ongoing adherence to all ordinance requirements, respond promptly to any on-site notices, and document corrective actions thoroughly so that a written reinstatement request can be submitted quickly. When a suspension does occur, operators typically request a hearing within the ten-day window and prepare a signed statement attesting that identified conditions have been resolved before seeking reinspection.
