SUBPART E: ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION BY THE DEPARTMENT
Section 860.500 Variance Procedures
The Department may grant a variance to a specific provision of this Part when the owner of a
manufactured home community submits a written request for such variance to the Department,
with drawings, specifications, documents, data, or calculations showing that the alternative
methods or designs proposed will provide protection equivalent to compliance with the
requirements of this Part. The capability of the proposed deviation to ensure protection
equivalent to compliance with the requirements of this Part shall be the basis for approval or

grant or deny the variance within 60 days after receipt of the request. A variance must be
requested and approved before the proposed activity may be implemented.
Section 860.510 Enforcement Action

Requirements for Manufactured Home Communities (Repealed)

Section 860.APPENDIX C Unlicensed Motor Vehicles
Section 860.310(d) of the Manufactured Home Community Code prohibits unlicensed vehicles
in manufactured home community. This includes cars, trucks, motorcycles and trailers. While it
is the manufactured home community owner's responsibility to assure compliance with this
requirement, the manufactured home community owner may have legal difficulties in getting an
unlicensed vehicle either licensed or removed within the time period allotted by the Department
(usually 30 days). The Department recognizes this problem and encourages an investigation into
the following possibilities.
1. The rules of the particular manufactured home community should prohibit
unlicensed vehicles from being located in the manufactured home community and
contain language that allows the manufactured home community owner to have
unlicensed vehicles towed at the owner's expense after seven days written notice
is provided. The resident should sign an acknowledgment and agreement to the
rules.
2. Effective January 1, 1988, the local governmental jurisdiction has the authority to
adopt an ordinance to permit it to tow inoperable motor vehicles and their parts
after seven days written notification to the owner. Manufactured home
community owners should encourage local jurisdictions to adopt such an
ordinance and then advise the authorities when enforcement action needs to be
initiated by the local authorities. The language describing this authority is
contained in three particular laws for municipalities [65 ILCS 5/11-40-3], for
counties [55 ILCS 5/5-1092] and for townships [60 ILCS 1/30-130]. This
pertains only to inoperable vehicles but includes those on both public and private
property.
3. Section 4-203 of the Illinois Vehicle Code [625 ILCS 5/4-203] contains
provisions that allow a manufactured home community owner to immediately tow
an unlicensed vehicle if the owner has a sign posted as specified in the Illinois
Vehicle Code.
4. The American Lung Association has a Vehicle Donation Program. For more
information contact the American Lung Association, Vehicle Donation Program,
#1 Christmas Seal Drive, P.O. Box 2576, Springfield, Illinois 62708-2576, or call
1-800-583-4425.
5. The National Kidney Foundation of Illinois, Inc. has a car donation program. Call
1-800-488-CARS for details.
Section 860.APPENDIX D Home Rule Units
Section 26 of the Mobile Home Park Act exempts home rule units. All of Cook County and
municipalities with a population of more than 25,000 are home rule units unless a specific
referendum was passed. The following is a list of home rule units in Illinois as of November 1,
1997.
