Elbridge, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 175 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 175-11
Nonconforming mobile home courts
Operative Text
A. Any mobile home court existing on the effective date of this chapter and not conforming to the requirements set forth in this chapter shall be regarded as nonconforming. B. Any such nonconforming mobile home court in existence on the effective date of this chapter or permitted subsequently by variance granted by the Zoning Board of Appeals or, on appeal, by the Zoning Board of Appeals may be continued provided such nonconformance is not enlarged. C. Nothing in this chapter shall require a change in the plans or construction of a mobile home court on which actual construction was lawfully begun or approved, in writing, by the Town Board prior to the adoption of this chapter.
Section 175-11 of Elbridge's Code of Ordinances establishes rules for mobile home courts that were already operating when the chapter took effect and do not meet its current standards. Such courts are classified as "nonconforming" but are generally allowed to keep operating as long as the nonconformity is not expanded. Additionally, courts whose construction was lawfully begun or formally approved in writing by the Town Board before the chapter's adoption are not required to change their plans or construction to comply with the new standards.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home courts in Elbridge should be aware that under § 175-11, a nonconforming status does not automatically require closure or immediate upgrades, but it does prohibit enlarging the nonconformity. Compliant operators typically document the scope of their operation as it existed on the chapter's effective date and retain any written approvals from the Town Board that predate the chapter's adoption. If a variance is needed to address nonconformance, the Zoning Board of Appeals is the body that handles such requests under this provision.

Residents of mobile home courts in Elbridge may find § 175-11 relevant if questions arise about whether their court is operating lawfully under the town's code. This provision protects existing nonconforming courts from being forced to shut down solely due to their nonconforming status, provided the nonconformance has not been expanded. Tenants who have concerns about the legal status of their court may consider contacting the Elbridge town offices or a local tenant-rights organization to better understand how this provision applies.
