Gates, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 120 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 120-14
Conditional use permit required; approval
Operative Text
No new mobile home park and, where permitted, no expansion of an existing park shall be permitted except upon the issuance of a conditional use permit by the Town Board pursuant to Article XXXII of Chapter 190 , Zoning. Any conditional use permit shall be subject to site plan review approval by the Planning Board pursuant to procedures therefor under Article XXXIII of Chapter 190 , Zoning.
Under Gates, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 120 § 120-14, no new mobile home park may be established, and no existing mobile home park may be expanded, without first obtaining a conditional use permit from the Town Board. That permit process is governed by Article XXXII of Chapter 190 of the Gates Zoning Code. Additionally, any such conditional use permit is subject to a separate site plan review and approval by the Planning Board under Article XXXIII of the same Zoning Code, meaning two distinct approvals are required before a new or expanded park can lawfully operate.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and developers subject to Gates, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 120 § 120-14 generally pursue two sequential approvals before breaking ground on a new mobile home park or expanding an existing one: a conditional use permit from the Town Board under Article XXXII of Chapter 190, and site plan review approval from the Planning Board under Article XXXIII. Compliant operators typically prepare detailed site plans and application materials that satisfy both bodies' procedural requirements before commencing any construction or expansion activity. Engaging with the Town's planning and zoning offices early in the process is a common practice to understand current submission standards and timelines.

Residents of mobile home parks in Gates, N.Y. may find § 120-14 of Chapter 120 relevant when questions arise about whether a park was lawfully established or whether an expansion was properly authorized. Because both a Town Board conditional use permit and Planning Board site plan approval are required, tenants can inquire with the Town Clerk or Planning Department to confirm whether the required approvals are on file for their park. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York municipal zoning procedures can help residents understand how these approval requirements may relate to habitability or land-use concerns affecting their community.
