A use of the mobile home park for a purpose other than the rental, or the holding out for rent, of two or more mobile home sites to accommodate mobile homes used for human habitation. A conversion of a mobile home park may affect an entire park or any portion thereof. "Conversion of a mobile home park" includes, but is not limited to, a change of the park or any portion thereof to a condominium, stock cooperative, planned unit development, or any form of ownership wherein spaces within the park are to be sold; and any change which results in the elimination of more than two mobile home lots.

The petition shall be in a form to be provided by the city.
