Gates, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 120 § 120-7 establishes two distinct limits for mobile home parks: a density cap of no more than six mobile home units per gross acre, and an occupancy restriction that limits who may live in any given unit. Only a 'family,' as that term is defined in Chapter 190 (Zoning), is permitted to occupy a mobile home unit. Together, these rules govern both the physical layout of mobile home developments and the composition of their residents.
