No Permit Needed for a Non-Conforming (Grandfathered) Park? Odd.

[Jeffrey H.]

Hi Everyone,

I have been working the diligence on a smaller park in a town of about 40K people.  The park is grandfathered based on zoning and conversations with the City.  They told me as a result that the park does not need a permit so long as the homes that come in on the empty pads are permitted accordingly (e.g. setback, tiedowns, etc).

I will get this "no permit needed" claim in writing via an ordinance or declaration of some kind from the city, it just seems very uncommon.  Has anyone else seen this or had experience with a city?  Anything worth mentioning?

Thanks.
