Sodus, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 83-13
Site location
Operative Text
A. Neighborhood. Manufactured home parks shall be located in those areas specified in Chapter 135 , Zoning, of the Town of Sodus. In no case shall a site be approved in an area subject to objectionable smoke, odor or other similar adverse environmental influence. B. Neighborhood facilities. Manufactured home park plans shall include a statement concerning the availability of shopping facilities and fire-protection services in relation to the location of the proposed park. A statement from the appropriate school district official shall also be included, indicating that school bus service will be provided, if necessary, and evaluating the impact of the park on the school system. C. Relationship to major roads. Manufactured home park plans shall include a sketch of the site as it relates to major traffic arteries, with indications of anticipated traffic patterns to the park. Direct connections onto major highways shall be in accordance with the standards set forth in § 83-17 of this article.
Section 83-13 of the Sodus, N.Y., Code of Ordinances establishes site-location requirements for manufactured home parks, covering three main areas: zoning compatibility and environmental suitability of the neighborhood, availability of community services such as shopping and fire protection, and the park's relationship to major roads and traffic patterns. A proposed park site must not be in an area affected by objectionable smoke, odors, or similar adverse environmental conditions. The application package must include documentation from school district officials regarding bus service and school-system impact, as well as a traffic sketch showing how the park connects to major roadways.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and developers planning a manufactured home park under § 83-13 generally prepare a comprehensive application that addresses all three site-location categories before seeking approval. This typically means confirming the site falls within the zoning districts identified in Chapter 135, gathering written statements from school district officials about bus service and enrollment impact, and documenting nearby shopping and fire-protection services. Plans also include a site sketch illustrating traffic flow to and from major arteries, with any direct highway connections designed to meet the standards in § 83-17.

Section 83-13 is designed to ensure that manufactured home parks are placed in suitable, well-served locations — meaning residents should have access to schools, fire protection, and shopping, and the park should not be situated in an environmentally compromised area. If a park was approved without the documentation this provision requires, that procedural gap may be relevant to challenges before local zoning or planning bodies. Tenants who have concerns about whether a park's location met these requirements can consult local tenant-rights organizations or review the public approval record for the park.
