Report to the Board of Supervisors Prepared by the Maricopa County Environmental Services Department Board of Health (BOH) Meeting Date: July 28, 2025 Board of Supervisors Hearing Date: September 10, 2025 Case #/Title: ES-2025-02/Mobile Home Parks/Recreational Vehicle Parks Supervisor Districts: All Districts Applicant: Maricopa County Environmental Services Department (Department) Request: Approve proposed revision to Maricopa County Environmental Health Code (MCEHC), Chapter IX, Section 1-9. Support/Opposition: A stakeholder workshop was held on May 22, 2025. One stakeholder spoke in support of the case as their park would no longer need a permit. No other comments, questions, or concerns were received for this case. Department Recommendation: The Department recommends that the Board of Supervisors (BOS) approve the proposed MCEHC revision. BOH Recommendation: The Board of Health (BOH) voted unanimously to approve the Department’s proposed revision and proceed according to the EROP expedited process. Executive Summary: This case aligns the MCEHC requirements for mobile home parks and recreational vehicle parks with the Arizona Administrative Code (A.A.C.). Currently, requirements in MCEHC are more restrictive than those outlined in the A.A.C. This alignment will result in deregulation by no longer requiring permits and routine inspections for mobile home parks that do not offer space for recreational vehicles. Parks that offer space for recreational vehicles will continue to be permitted and inspected according to the requirements outlined in the A.A.C., MCEHC, and in accordance with delegated responsibilities. It should be noted that the proposed changes will not impact the Department's ability to address public health nuisances in any mobile home park should they occur. 1 The proposal does not increase fees; it updates the language found in MCEHC. In accordance with the Maricopa County Resolution, “Moratorium on Increased Regulatory Burdens,” the County Manager authorized the Department to proceed with this case on April 1, 2025, and the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors (BOS) was briefed on April 30, 2025. The Department conducted a stakeholder workshop on March 22, 2025. On July 28, 2025, the Department presented a Staff Report for this case to the Board of Health (BOH), at which time the BOH approved this case to proceed on the EROP expedited process for the BOS to adopt this proposed Department revision.

Support/Opposition: The Department held a stakeholder public meeting on May 22, 2025. Six stakeholders attended the meeting, and one stakeholder spoke in support of the case as their park would no longer need a permit. No other comments, questions, or concerns were received for this case. Department Recommendation: Discussion: The department recommends that the Board of Health approve the Department to move forward with the proposed changes to the Mobile Home Park section of the MCEHC for consideration by the Board of Supervisors.

Brian Knisley explained that the Maricopa County Environmental Services Department (Department) proposes aligning Maricopa County Environmental Health Code (MCEHC) requirements with the Arizona Administrative Code (A.A.C.). This alignment will result in deregulation by no longer requiring permits and routine inspections for mobile home parks that do not offer space for recreational vehicles.

Andy Linton added that the state changed their rules in 2019, and Pinal County aligned their local code with the state code. While Pinal County had one mobile home park that was opposed to the change, they were able to keep their permit by offering Recreational Vehicle spaces. Michelle Selbab says she appreciates the permit being eliminated, and so does the owner. Meeting adjourned. 24
