Clarkson, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 94 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 94-42
Dimension requirements
Operative Text
A. The minimum size of a site shall be five acres. This applies to the total proposal, including plotted areas, if any. B. The project size shall be 10 park units minimum. C. The number of new mobile homes to be permitted in the Town will be determined under § 140-24A. For the specific park, this allocation will limit the number of mobile homes in a park until, if ever, there is an increase allocation. The preliminary design capacity of the park may exceed the permitted allocation. D. The tract of land for the mobile home park shall abut a public street or highway. The frontage shall be 150 feet minimum and 300 feet maximum. The frontage shall be measured at the street line.
Section 94-42 of Clarkson's Code of Ordinances establishes baseline physical and dimensional standards for mobile home parks. Any proposed park must sit on at least five acres of land, contain a minimum of ten park units, and have frontage on a public street or highway measuring between 150 and 300 feet at the street line. The number of new mobile homes actually permitted within any given park is further constrained by the town-wide allocation formula set out in § 140-24A, meaning a park's design capacity may be planned larger than what is initially authorized.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and developers planning a mobile home park in Clarkson must ensure their site meets every dimensional threshold in § 94-42 before advancing a proposal: at least five acres total, no fewer than ten park units, and street frontage falling within the 150-to-300-foot range measured at the street line. Because § 140-24A governs the town-wide allocation of new mobile homes, a compliant operator accounts for the possibility that the approved number of units may be lower than the park's preliminary design capacity. Tracking any changes to the allocation under § 140-24A is a routine part of managing a park's long-term development plan.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Residents and prospective residents of mobile home parks in Clarkson can look to § 94-42 to understand the minimum physical standards the town requires of any park—including site size, unit count, and road access—which bear on the overall livability and legality of the development. The allocation rules referenced in § 140-24A also affect how many homes may be placed in a park, which can be relevant if a park appears to be operating beyond its permitted capacity. Tenants who believe a park may not comply with these dimensional or allocation requirements can raise the issue with the relevant local zoning or code-enforcement office, or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with New York municipal housing regulations.
