Hacienda Mobilehome Park adheres to the State of California’s building codes for mobile home parks as established by the Department of Housing & Community Development (HCD). Therefore, privacy panels and carport enclosures will be allowed to be installed at the Hacienda provided they meet the following requirements:
Residents must submit to Park Management prior to installation a request to install privacy panels or enclosures to their carport. The request must be in writing (a form is available in the Park Office) and include the following information:
- A description of the materials to be used;
- A drawing or diagram of the location of the panels or enclosures with dimensions, and distance from lot line and/or other structures on adjacent lot;
- The name, phone number and address of the person or company doing the installation.
- Privacy panels must be louvered aluminum panels. Information is available in the Park Office.
- Panels or enclosures constructed of non-combustible materials (i.e. aluminum) may be on the lot line provided it is at least three (3) feet from any other unit, accessory buildings or structures, or building components on adjacent lots.
Panels or enclosures constructed of wood, plastic or other combustible materials (i.e. lattice) will ONLY be considered if there is:
- A minimum six (6)-foot clearance from any other unit, accessory buildings or structures, or building components on adjacent lots constructed of combustible materials and
- A minimum three (3) foot clearance from lot lines.
- One side and one end of a carport shall be maintained at least fifty (50) percent open and unobstructed at all times with a minimum of 12” open at the top and 12” open at the bottom. (The “side” of a carport is defined as the length and the “end” is defined as the width of the carport.)
- A carport which is partially enclosed shall be designed and constructed to withstand the additional lateral forces imposed by such an enclosure as required for awning enclosures.
Privacy panels and enclosures installed on carports prior to May 1, 2011 will be accepted by management until one the following situations occurs:
- Resident wants to add privacy panels or enclosures to their carport where they didn’t have any before.
- Resident needs to replace or repair already existing panels or enclosures in order to maintain their lot in good repair.
- Resident decides to sell home. Upon close of escrow, or at time ownership of home is transferred,
- Any previously installed panels must comply with the above policy.
