Abstract

A legislative public hearing was held June 17, 2024 and planning staff presented the request.
This area of the County received zoning in 1973 and at that time the Zoning Ordinance included a Mobile Home District and the Chatham County Mobile Home Ordinance was adopted on May 20, 1985.

If the non-conforming district were to be removed, the parcel would have no legal zoning classification. This mobile home park is no longer in use and the owner has the property on the market and to make it more desirable for a future purchaser the request is to rezone the property to R1 so it will conform with the adjoining properties under the same ownership. Therefore, the request to rezone to R-1 Residential has been submitted in order to comply with current regulations.
Tripp Trailer Court has space for up to seven mobile homes and covered three parcels (96234, 96233, and the subject parcel 19435). The other two parcels have R-1 Residential zoning. The park has not been utilized in several years and all of the mobile homes have been removed from the property.
