Bloomington, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 14 § 14.541
ADOPTION OF THE STATE LAWS AND REGULATIONS FOR CAMPS AND MANUFACTURED HOME PARKS (Bloomington Time-of-Sale Housing Evaluations and Manufactured Home Park Regulations)
Operative Text
For the purpose of prescribing regulations governing manufactured homes and the parks in which they are situated, youth camps and recreational camping areas , the city adopts the following statutes and rules as they may be amended from time to time, including further revisions adopted by the Commissioner of Health or Commissioner of Administration, to the extent that such are consistent with the provisions of this city code: (a) Minnesota Rules Parts 4630.0200 through 4630.1700 and 4630.2210 through 4630.4700 (Department of Health, Camps and Manufactured Home Parks); (b) M.S. §§ 327.14, 327.20 and 327.205 through 327.28 (Manufactured Home Parks and Recreational Camping Areas), as they may be amended from time to time; (c) M.S. §§ 144.71, and 144.73 through 144.74 (Youth Camps), as they may be amended from time to time; and (d) Minnesota Rules part 4717.7000 subpart 1(E) and (F) (Variances). Where the conditions imposed by this Division E are either more restrictive or less restrictive than comparable provisions imposed by any other provision of this city code or other applicable law, rule or regulation as amended from time to time, the provision that establishes the more restrictive standards for the promotion of the public’s health, safety and welfare shall prevail. (Ord. 2010-13, passed 5-17-2010)
Bloomington City Code § 14.541 establishes that the city governs manufactured home parks, youth camps, and recreational camping areas by formally incorporating a set of Minnesota state statutes and administrative rules into local law. These include state health department rules on camps and manufactured home parks, state statutes on manufactured home parks and recreational camping areas, and statutes on youth camps, along with variance procedures. Whenever local or state standards differ, the more restrictive standard — the one offering greater protection for public health, safety, and welfare — takes precedence.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of manufactured home parks, youth camps, or recreational camping areas in Bloomington must comply with the state rules and statutes incorporated by § 14.541, including Minnesota Rules Parts 4630.0200–4630.1700 and 4630.2210–4630.4700, as well as the relevant Minnesota Statutes chapters. Because the ordinance adopts these standards as they are amended over time, compliant operators generally monitor updates issued by the Commissioner of Health or Commissioner of Administration. When local and state requirements conflict, operators are expected to follow whichever standard is more restrictive.
