Roseville, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 1202 § 1202.02
Definitions
Operative Text
The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this chapter, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this section, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning: Closure statement means a statement prepared by the park owner clearly stating the park is closing, addressing the availability, location and potential costs of adequate replacement housing within a 25-mile radius of the park that is closing and the probable relocation costs of the manufactured homes located in the park. Displaced owner means a resident of an owner-occupied manufactured home who rents a lot in a manufactured home park, including the members of the resident's household, as of the date the park owner submits a closure statement to the city. Displaced renter means a resident of a renter-occupied manufactured home who rents both the lot and the manufactured home in the manufactured home park, including the members of the resident's household, as of the date the park owner submits a closure statement to the city. Displaced resident means displaced owner or displaced renter. Lot means an area within a manufactured home park, designed and used for the accommodation of a manufactured home. Manufactured home means a structure, not affixed to or part of real estate, transportable in one or more sections, which in the traveling mode, is eight feet or more in width or 40 feet or more in length, or, when erected on-site, is 320 or more square feet, and which is built on a permanent chassis and designed to be used as a dwelling with or without a permanent foundation when connected to the required utilities, and includes the plumbing, heating, air-conditioning, and electrical system contained in it. Park owner means the owner of a manufactured home park and any person acting on behalf of the owner in the operation or management of a park.
Roseville Code of Ordinances ch. 1202 § 1202.02 establishes the working vocabulary for the manufactured home park closure chapter, ensuring that key terms carry consistent, precise meanings throughout its provisions. Central concepts defined here include the "closure statement" a park owner must prepare — which must address replacement housing options and relocation costs within a 25-mile radius — as well as the distinctions between a "displaced owner" (someone who owns their home but rents their lot) and a "displaced renter" (someone who rents both). These definitions determine who qualifies for protections under the chapter and what obligations apply when a park closes.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 1202.02, park owners and their agents should be familiar with how the ordinance defines their role and responsibilities, particularly the requirements tied to the "closure statement." A compliant park owner preparing for closure generally ensures that the closure statement clearly addresses the availability, location, and potential costs of adequate replacement housing within 25 miles, as well as probable relocation costs for manufactured homes in the park. Understanding the definitions of "displaced owner" and "displaced renter" is also important, as the status of residents is determined as of the date the closure statement is submitted to the city.

For residents of manufactured home parks in Roseville, § 1202.02 establishes the foundational definitions that determine whether a person qualifies as a "displaced owner" or "displaced renter" — and therefore who is covered by the chapter's protections when a park closes. Residency status is assessed as of the date the park owner submits a closure statement to the city, making that submission date a significant threshold. Tenants who believe they may be affected by a park closure can consult a tenant-rights organization or review the full chapter to understand what rights and remedies may apply to their situation.
