Sodus, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 83-18
Manufactured home sales area
Operative Text
A. The display and sale of manufactured homes shall not be permitted in any area where manufactured home parks are permitted and which is zoned for residential development at densities greater than two dwelling units per acre, unless such sales area is located within the manufactured home park itself and not adjacent to a public street. In this case, no more than six manufactured homes may be displayed at one time. B. In any zone where manufactured home sales are permitted, such sales area shall be surfaced with asphalt or other hard, dust-free surface and should contain a minimum of six off-street parking spaces for customers. No display unit shall be located less than 75 feet from a public right-of-way. C. Where existing controls permit, curbs shall be constructed adjacent to all sales areas located along a street or highway. Curb cuts shall be well-defined and designed to reduce hazard to those entering or leaving the main traffic stream. D. All sales areas shall be landscaped and buffered from adjacent manufactured home units and other residential areas by a dense hedge or similar landscape screen which will rapidly reach a height of at least six feet. A combination of landscaping and decorative fencing may be substituted, provided that the height requirement is met and considerable landscaping is used.
Section 83-18 of Sodus, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 governs where and how manufactured homes may be displayed and sold. In residential zones with densities above two dwelling units per acre, sales areas are generally prohibited unless they are inside a manufactured home park and not adjacent to a public street, in which case no more than six units may be on display at once. Any permitted sales area must meet physical standards covering surface paving, off-street parking, setbacks from public rights-of-way, curb construction, and landscaping or fencing buffers at least six feet tall.
