Approval by Planning Board; procedure
Operative Text
A. General. In accordance with the procedures, standards and conditions hereinafter specified, the LaGrange Planning Board may, when authorized by the Town Board and simultaneously with the approval of a subdivision plat under the Town of LaGrange Land Subdivision Regulations, approve mobile home parks located in a Planned Development District established for such purpose. B. Application. Application for a mobile home park shall be submitted to the Town of LaGrange Zoning Administrator, who shall, upon receipt, transmit the application to the LaGrange Town Board and a copy thereof to the Planning Board. The application shall be accompanied by the following: (1) Standard plan. A standard subdivision plan meeting the requirements for a preliminary layout under Chapter 203 , Subdivision of Land, and conforming in all respects to said regulations and the regular provisions of the zoning district existing prior to establishment of a Planned Development District; four copies shall be submitted. (2) Preliminary plan. A modified subdivision plan meeting the requirements for a preliminary layout under Chapter 203 , Subdivision of Land, and showing a mobile home park in accordance with this chapter; four copies shall be submitted. (3) Statement. A written statement describing the proposed method of providing, financing and administering water supply and sewage disposal systems and of owning and administering open space land; four copies shall be submitted. (4) Other. The Town Board or Planning Board may request the submission of such additional information that it deems necessary in order to decide on the application. (5) Application fee. An application fee, as set forth on the prevailing fee schedule adopted by resolution of the Town Board, and as such schedule is modified from time to time by resolution of the Town Board, for each building lot shown on the preliminary plan, which fee is in addition to any fee required under Chapter 203 , Subdivision of Land. C. Petition. In accordance with § 240-33 , Zoning, the person applying for the mobile home park shall also submit to the Town Board a petition for establishment of a Planned Development District for the purpose of authorizing the mobile home park. D. Initial action. The Planning Board shall first review the standard plan and by resolution determine the number of lots that constitute a reasonable subdivision of the land. The Planning Board shall then report to the Town Board its recommendations for approval, modification or disapproval of the preliminary plan. The Town Board may, after a public hearing thereafter, establish the Planned Development District for the mobile home park and authorize the Planning Board to approve such park in accordance with the preliminary plan with or without modifications specified by the Town Board, taking into account among other factors the suitability of plans, financial arrangements and administrative methods for water supply and sewage disposal; the location and suitability of proposed open space land and the proposed ownership and administrative methods therefor; and the effect of the mobile home park on the appropriate and orderly development of the neighborhood, the appropriate use of adjacent property and the appearance and character of the neighborhood. If the Planned Development District is established by the Town Board and the mobile home park is thereby authorized by the Town Board, with or without modifications and conditions, the Planning Board may then approve the application subject to modifications and conditions specified by the Town Board or that the Planning Board deems necessary to comply with Chapter 203 , Subdivision of Land, and this chapter. Such approval shall be made by the Planning Board simultaneously with tentative approval of the preliminary layout under Chapter 203 , Subdivision of Land. E. Final action. Approval of the application authorizes the applicant to submit to the Planning Board an application for approval of a subdivision plat under Chapter 203 , Subdivision of Land, and for the mobile home park. Upon receipt, the Planning Board shall transmit to the Town Board a copy of the application for a subdivision plat together with accompanying maps and plans. The Town Board shall determine compliance with its original authorization. Upon determination of such compliance, the Planning Board shall act on the mobile home park in the same manner as required for action on subdivision plats under Chapter 203 , Subdivision of Land. F. Construction permit. Mobile home parks approved by the Planning Board under this chapter may be established only after an application for a construction permit has been submitted to the Zoning Administrator and a construction permit has been issued by him. G. Certificate of occupancy. In addition to the license requirements of § 156-4 of this chapter, a mobile home park may be used or occupied and each mobile home, service building and other accessory building in a mobile home park may be used or occupied only after a certificate of occupancy therefor has been issued by the Zoning Administrator certifying conformity with this chapter.
Section 156-2 of LaGrange's Code of Ordinances establishes a multi-step approval process for mobile home parks, requiring coordination between the Zoning Administrator, the Town Board, and the Planning Board. The process moves from initial application and standard/preliminary plan submission through public hearing, Planned Development District establishment, and final subdivision plat approval before any construction or occupancy may begin. Both a construction permit and a certificate of occupancy from the Zoning Administrator are required before the park or any structure within it may be used.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators pursuing a mobile home park under § 156-2 typically prepare both a standard subdivision plan and a modified preliminary plan, along with a written statement covering water supply, sewage disposal, and open space administration. A compliant applicant submits all required materials—including the applicable fee per building lot—to the Zoning Administrator and files a concurrent petition for a Planned Development District with the Town Board. Final occupancy requires both a construction permit and a certificate of occupancy issued by the Zoning Administrator confirming conformity with Chapter 156.

Section 156-2 sets out the public process through which a mobile home park may be authorized in LaGrange, including a required public hearing before the Town Board establishes a Planned Development District. Residents and prospective occupants can note that no mobile home or accessory building may be legally occupied without a certificate of occupancy issued under this section. Those with concerns about a park's approval or occupancy status may contact the LaGrange Zoning Administrator or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with local zoning and housing regulations.
