§ 8.40.070. Permit—Location approval.

No trailer park hereafter established shall be located within the city until the location thereof is approved by the planning commission of the city in the following manner:

A.

The person desiring to locate and operate an auto and trailer park in the city, under the provisions of this chapter, shall file an application therefor with the planning commission and building department of the city. Such application shall be accompanied by:

1.

A description of the grounds upon which the auto and trailer park is to be constructed, and a plot plan showing the trailer sites and locations of any buildings;

2.

Plans and specifications of the proposed construction;

3.

B.

Such application is to include a true legal description of the property upon which it is proposed to locate such trailer park, and the application shall be accompanied by a filing fee of twenty-five dollars.

C.

Upon receipt of such application, the planning commission shall fix a time and place for the holding of a public hearing thereon. Notice of such hearing shall be given by at least one publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the city, and by causing notice thereof to be posted at not more than one hundred fifty feet in distance apart along both sides of each and every street upon which the property involved in such application abuts; provided, that such posting shall extend along such street a distance of not less than three hundred feet from the exterior limits of the property involved in such application. Such notice shall state the time when the petition will be heard by the planning commission, which shall be not less than ten days from the date of publication and posting. At the time of the hearing of such application, the planning commission may hear anyone appearing for the purpose of approving or objecting to the granting of the application, and at the conclusion of such hearing may, by a majority vote of its members, either approve or disapprove the application. Any person wishing to appeal the action of the planning commission shall so notify the council in writing of such action within ten days after the commission's approval or rejection of the application. The planning commission, within fifteen days after receipt of notice of appeal, shall communicate its findings and recommendations regarding such application to the city council. The city council shall thereupon publicly hear and finally and conclusively determine whether or not such application shall be granted, giving such notice of the hearing upon the application as it deems proper. Upon granting of approval by either the commission or the city council, the building department shall be so notified in writing and shall then issue a building permit after receipt of application, plan and specifications as required herein.
