Section 94-22 of the Clarkson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances establishes the vocabulary framework for the mobile home park article by incorporating general definitions from Chapter 140 and adding specific terms. Key terms defined include 'mobile home,' 'mobile home park,' 'park owner/manager,' 'park unit,' and 'service building,' among others. These definitions set the boundaries of who and what is covered under the article's requirements and how shorthand references like 'park' or 'park unit' should be read throughout the code.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks in Clarkson should be familiar with the defined terms in § 94-22, as these definitions govern how the rest of the article's obligations are interpreted and applied. The distinction between 'park owner' and 'park manager' matters because the license is issued to the park owner, while the manager handles day-to-day administration — and both roles may be held by the same person. Compliance with the article generally begins with understanding how terms like 'park unit' and 'service building' are used, since those definitions shape what physical and operational standards apply.
