Hopkins, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-4
State regulations applicable
Operative Text
The requirements contained in this chapter are intended to be comparable to state laws and regulations concerning manufactured home parks. If the state department of health amends regulations or adopts new regulations setting higher sanitary standards than the ones established in this chapter, the standards set by the state department of health shall govern and will be considered in the enforcement procedure as part of this chapter.
Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-4 establishes that the city's manufactured home park rules are designed to align with Minnesota state law. If the state Department of Health raises its sanitary standards above those set in chapter 26, the higher state standards automatically take precedence and become part of the local enforcement framework. This means the applicable standard at any given time may be higher than what is written in the local ordinance itself.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of manufactured home parks subject to Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-4 should be aware that compliance is not limited to the text of chapter 26 alone. When the Minnesota Department of Health adopts or amends sanitary regulations that exceed local standards, those elevated requirements become enforceable as part of the local code. Compliant operators generally monitor both city and state health regulations to ensure their parks meet whichever standard is more stringent at any point in time.
