Red Creek, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 157 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 157-14
Guidelines for conditional approval
Operative Text
In considering conditional approval of the proposed mobile home park, the Board shall be guided by the following considerations: A. General. The degree to which compliance with the intent of the overall environmental standards for mobile home parks has been achieved. B. Access. Ingress and egress to the property and proposed structures thereon, with particular reference to automotive and pedestrian safety, traffic flow and control, and access in case of fire or emergency. C. Parking. Number and location of parking areas with particular attention to the convenience of such areas to park occupants and their effect on adjoining properties. D. Trash and service. Location and number of trash disposal areas with particular reference to health, safety and appearance. E. Drainage. Surface water drainage of the park with particular reference to effective groundwater runoff and the impact on adjacent properties. F. Screening and buffering. The type, size and location of screening and plant material with particular reference to visual buffering of adjacent properties and improving compatibility and harmony between the park and its surroundings must be maintained. G. Exterior appearance. General amenity and site attractiveness with particular attention to assuring that the exterior appearance of the proposed park will be as compatible and harmonious as possible with other development in the general area.
Red Creek, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 157 § 157-14 establishes the criteria the Board uses when deciding whether to grant conditional approval for a proposed mobile home park. The rule covers a broad range of site-planning factors — including access and traffic flow, parking convenience, trash disposal, stormwater drainage, visual screening, and overall exterior appearance — and requires that each factor be weighed against environmental standards and compatibility with neighboring properties. Conditional approval is not automatic; the Board must affirmatively consider how well the proposed park addresses each of these listed considerations before rendering a decision.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and developers seeking conditional approval under Red Creek Code ch. 157 § 157-14 generally prepare application materials that directly address each of the seven enumerated criteria. Compliant applicants typically document how the site design handles automotive and pedestrian safety, provides adequate and conveniently located parking, manages surface water runoff, and minimizes visual impact on adjacent properties through screening and landscaping. Demonstrating that the park's exterior appearance will be harmonious with surrounding development is also a standard element of a complete submission under this section.

Prospective and current residents of a mobile home park in Red Creek should be aware that § 157-14 of the local code requires the Board to evaluate safety, drainage, parking, trash facilities, and visual compatibility before granting conditional approval for a park. If residents believe a park was approved without adequate consideration of these factors — or that conditions attached to an approval are not being met — they may raise those concerns with the local governing body or a tenant-rights organization familiar with New York mobile home park law. Reviewing the Board's findings under ch. 157 § 157-14 can help residents understand what commitments were made as part of any conditional approval.
