Fishkill, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 106 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 106-2
Town Board action
Operative Text
A. Within 30 days of the date of the public hearing, the Town Board shall, by resolution, act either to approve, approve with modifications or disapprove the general land use and development plan for a proposed mobile home park. Approval or approval with modifications is required for, and shall be deemed to authorize, the applicant to proceed with a detailed design of the proposed development and to submit applications for the approved site development plans which shall be in accordance with the approved general land use and development plan. B. The Town Board shall not act to approve any application for a mobile home park unless it determines: (1) That such development will serve to implement the intent and purposes as set forth in Chapter 150 , Zoning. (2) That the location proposed for the mobile home park is suitable and appropriate for such a development. (3) That such development is otherwise in the public interest. C. Such conditions and safeguards shall be attached to the special permit as the Town Board deems necessary and appropriate to assure continual conformance to all applicable standards and requirements.
Under Fishkill, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 106 § 106-2, the Town Board has 30 days after a public hearing to formally vote on whether to approve, conditionally approve, or deny a proposed mobile home park's general land use and development plan. Approval — with or without modifications — authorizes the applicant to move forward with detailed design work and site development plan submissions. The Board may only grant approval if it finds the project aligns with the zoning chapter's intent, that the chosen location is suitable, and that the development serves the public interest, and it may attach conditions to any special permit it issues.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and developers pursuing a mobile home park under ch. 106 § 106-2 generally keep close track of the 30-day post-hearing window and prepare detailed design materials in advance so they can move quickly once a resolution is passed. A compliant applicant ensures that all submitted plans are consistent with the approved general land use and development plan, since subsequent site development applications must conform to whatever the Board approved or modified. Operators also review any conditions attached to the special permit carefully, as § 106-2(C) makes ongoing compliance with those conditions a continuing obligation.

Residents of or prospective tenants in a proposed mobile home park may find it useful to know that § 106-2 requires the Town Board to make affirmative findings about suitability, zoning consistency, and public interest before any approval can be granted. Members of the public generally have the opportunity to participate in the required public hearing that precedes the Board's vote, which is one avenue for raising concerns about a proposed development. Tenants or community members who believe a park was approved without meeting the statutory criteria can consult a tenant-rights organization or housing attorney to understand what review or challenge options may be available under Fishkill's ordinance.
