Clarkson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 94 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 94-25
Site plan approval required
Operative Text
A. A site plan is required with every application for a mobile home park license. This site plan and all construction and all new uses in each mobile home park or changes in use shall be subject to site plan approval by the Planning Board in accordance with the procedures established in § 140-43 of the Clarkson Code, except that, if the applicant can prove to the Planning Board prior to application for the preliminary site plan approval that the change in use or overall facilities will not be significant, the Planning Board shall have the power to waive the necessity for further site plan review. However, the change that has been determined not to be significant must be entered on the site plan as a change, and the Planning Board shall give final approval for the change by motion. B. Aside from the general requirements for site plan reviews, the following will also be included: (1) A complete plan, drawn to scale, showing the layout of the park, the location, size and arrangement of each park unit, location of streets, location of water service and fire apparatus, which includes fire hydrants, location of open areas, sewers, parking spaces and storage areas, including dumpsters. (2) Site utilities, grading, roadway, drainage and erosion control shall conform to applicable requirements of the Town of Clarkson Design and Construction Standards for land development.
Section 94-25 of the Clarkson Code requires that anyone seeking a mobile home park license submit a site plan for review and approval by the Planning Board, following the procedures in § 140-43 of the Clarkson Code. All construction, new uses, and changes in use within a mobile home park are subject to this approval process, though the Planning Board may waive further review if an applicant demonstrates that a proposed change is not significant. Even waived changes must be formally recorded on the site plan and receive final Planning Board approval by motion.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and applicants subject to § 94-25 of the Clarkson Code generally ensure that a detailed, to-scale site plan accompanies every mobile home park license application, covering unit layout, street locations, water and fire apparatus, sewers, parking, and storage areas. Compliant operators also confirm that site utilities, grading, roadways, drainage, and erosion control meet the Town of Clarkson Design and Construction Standards for land development. When a change in use or facility modification is contemplated, operators typically engage the Planning Board early to determine whether a full site plan review is required or whether a significance waiver may be available under § 94-25.

Residents of mobile home parks in Clarkson may find it useful to know that § 94-25 of the Clarkson Code requires Planning Board approval for construction, new uses, and changes in use within their park, meaning significant changes cannot lawfully proceed without that review. If a change appears to have occurred without proper site plan approval, tenants can inquire with the Clarkson Planning Board about the status of any approvals on record. Tenant-rights organizations or local housing advocacy groups can help residents understand how the site plan approval process under § 94-25 may relate to conditions in their park.
