Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 217-6
Construal of provisions; exceptions
Operative Text
A. Vested interest not to be construed. None of the provisions of this chapter shall be construed as granting vested interest to anyone licensed under this chapter, and the Town Board hereby reserves the right to withdraw all permissions and revoke all licenses granted under this chapter upon 60 days' notice by publication and posting as provided in § 133 of the Town Law. B. Compliance with zoning regulations. None of the provisions of this chapter shall be construed in any way to permit the maintaining of manufactured homes or manufactured home parks in any zoning district wherein they are prohibited in Chapter 325 , Zoning, of the Code of the Town of Manchester. C. Nonapplicability to villages. None of the provisions of this chapter shall be applicable within the limits of any incorporated village located in the Town.
Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 § 217-6 establishes three interpretive limits on the town's manufactured home and manufactured home park licensing chapter. First, holding a license under this chapter does not create a permanent or protected right to operate — the Town Board may revoke all licenses and permissions after providing 60 days' public notice. Second, nothing in this chapter overrides the town's zoning rules, meaning manufactured homes and parks remain prohibited wherever Chapter 325 (Zoning) forbids them. Third, the chapter's rules do not apply within the boundaries of any incorporated village that sits within the Town of Manchester.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of manufactured home parks licensed under ch. 217 § 217-6 generally recognize that their license does not confer a permanent entitlement to operate. A compliant operator monitors official town publications and postings for any Town Board notice of revocation or withdrawal of permissions, and ensures that any facility they manage is located in a zoning district where manufactured homes are permitted under Chapter 325. Operators also confirm whether their property falls within an incorporated village, since § 217-6 explicitly removes such areas from the chapter's scope.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Residents of manufactured homes or manufactured home parks in Manchester, N.Y., should be aware that § 217-6 limits the protections this chapter can offer. Because a park operator's license carries no vested right, the Town Board retains authority to revoke licenses on 60 days' public notice, which could affect a park's legal standing. Tenants who have questions about how a potential license revocation or a zoning conflict under Chapter 325 might affect their housing situation may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or review the town's official notices and zoning records.
