Under Highland Falls, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 139 § 139-7, any mobile home park operating within the Village of Highland Falls must meet two distinct size thresholds: the overall park must cover at least 80,000 square feet, and each individual mobile home must have at least 3,000 square feet allocated to it. Beyond raw acreage, the land itself must be well drained and composed of either suitable natural soil or well-consolidated inert fill, ensuring the ground is physically appropriate for residential use.

Operators developing or maintaining a mobile home park in Highland Falls should ensure that the total park footprint meets the 80,000-square-foot minimum and that each mobile home site is allocated no less than 3,000 square feet, as required by ch. 139 § 139-7. Compliant operators also document that the site's drainage is adequate and that the underlying soil or fill material meets the 'suitable natural soil or well-consolidated inert fill' standard before construction or expansion. Retaining records of soil assessments and site surveys can help demonstrate ongoing compliance with these area and soil conditions.
