An addition to or expansion of an existing mobile home park for the purpose of increasing the number of mobile homes, increasing recreation or service areas, or for any other purpose shall be considered to be a land development and subject to all of the requirements and procedures of this chapter and all other Township ordinances, codes and regulations.
