Title
An ordinance to amend Appendix A St. Charles Parish Zoning Ordinance of 1981, Section VI. Zoning district criteria and regulations, B. Residential districts, [II.] R-1A(M)., 3. Special Provisions: by adding c. and Section VII. Supplemental Use and Performance Regulations., 1. Mobile Homes by adding a., b.

Body
WHEREAS, the St. Charles Parish Council eliminated the requirement for trailer skirting with Ordinance No. 16-6-4 which existed for over 29 years; and,
WHEREAS, the skirting ordinance served its purpose in making trailers aesthetically pleasing and improved the character of the neighborhoods in which they exist; and,
WHEREAS, many citizens have complied with the skirting requirements and have come to rely on the skirting requirement to keep their neighborhood a beautiful place to live and to maintain their property values; and,
WHEREAS, not all areas of our parish has a need or a demand for trailer skirting; and,
WHEREAS, skirting a mobile home can be a financial hardship on a citizen and has proven to be in some cases; and,
WHEREAS, trailer skirting should not be an absolute requirement in all cases; and,
WHEREAS, citizens who have complied with the skirting requirements and desire that others in their locale have skirting deserve the skirting requirement to be reestablished in order to keep their neighborhood a beautiful place to live and to maintain their property values; and,
WHEREAS, the St. Charles Parish Council wishes to reestablish trailer skirting requirements with a provision to allow for an exemption to the skirting requirements in certain cases.
