Grand Island, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 225 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 225-5
A. Each manufactured home park doing business in the Town of Grand Island must obtain a license therefor pursuant to the procedure set forth in this chapter and must obtain a special use permit as set forth by this chapter and Chapter 407 of the Town Code. The Town Board may also require that restrictive covenants be applicable to a manufactured home park and that said covenants be duly recorded in the Erie County Clerk's Office. B. Before obtaining a manufactured home park license, each applicant must first submit a site plan and obtain approval thereof pursuant to the procedures as set forth in Article XXIV of Chapter 407 , Zoning, of the Town Code and the procedures established by this chapter. C. Prior to final site plan approval, any proposed manufactured home park must be reviewed for its environmental impact pursuant to Article 8 of the Environmental Conservation Law. D. After environmental review and site plan approval, the applicant must then apply for and obtain a special use permit pursuant to the procedures set forth in Chapter 407 of the Town Code and the provisions of this chapter. E. After successfully completing the above steps, the owner or operator of any proposed manufactured home park shall then obtain a license to operate a manufactured home park. The license shall be issued by the Town Clerk. The application shall be made on a form obtained from the Town Clerk for the unexpired time period of the owner's special use permit. At the time of application, a fee shall be paid to the Town Clerk in an amount as set forth in the schedule of fees adopted by Town Board resolution. The application for a manufactured home park license and the appropriate fees shall be duly received and recorded by the Town Clerk and forwarded for review by the Planning Board. The Planning Board shall review the application and make its recommendation for approval, disapproval or approval with conditions and forward its report to the Town Board. The Town Board shall then approve, disapprove or approve with conditions the application for a manufactured home park license. If the license application is approved by the Town Board, the Town Clerk shall then issue to the applicant a license for operation of a manufactured home park. Said license shall be issued only after payment of a license fee which shall be for an amount as set forth in the schedule of fees adopted by Town Board resolution. F. The initial manufactured home park license shall be valid for not more than three years. Licenses may be renewed annually and contingent upon the renewal of the special use permit by submitting a renewal application to the Town Clerk on a form prescribed by the Planning Board and upon payment of a license renewal application fee for an amount as set forth in the schedule of fees adopted by Town Board resolution. The Town Clerk shall then forward the license renewal application to the Planning Board for review and recommendation. The Planning Board's recommendation shall then be forwarded to the Town Board who shall approve, disapprove or approve with conditions the renewal of the manufactured home park license. If the renewal application is approved by the Town Board, the Town Clerk shall then issue a manufactured home park license to the applicant which shall be valid for another year. At the time of license renewal, the applicant shall also pay a renewal license application fee to the Town Clerk in an amount set forth in the schedule of fees as adopted by the Town Board resolution. G. If the manufactured home park has not been constructed in accordance with the approved site plan and all the conditions attached thereto or if a violation of this chapter shall be found or if an unapproved change shall have taken place, the manufactured home park license shall not be renewed until said manufactured home park has been brought into compliance.

For Property Managers

Operators of manufactured home parks in Grand Island should be aware that § 225-5 requires completing several sequential approvals — site plan, environmental review, special use permit, and a Town Board-approved license — before any park may legally operate. Compliant operators keep their park constructed and maintained in strict accordance with the approved site plan, since any unapproved changes or outstanding violations under this chapter can block license renewal. Fees for applications, initial licenses, and annual renewals are set by Town Board resolution and are paid to the Town Clerk at each stage of the process.

For Tenants

Residents of manufactured home parks in Grand Island may find it useful to know that under § 225-5, every park is required to hold a valid, Town Board-approved license and a special use permit, and that the park must be operated in conformance with its approved site plan. If a park is found to have unapproved changes or violations of ch. 225, its license renewal can be withheld until compliance is restored — a mechanism that may be relevant to residents experiencing conditions that deviate from what was originally approved. Tenants who have concerns about whether a park is properly licensed or in compliance may consider contacting the Grand Island Town Clerk's office or a local tenant-rights organization for general information.
