"In 1995, just as the Army was closing Fitzsimons, Aurora took a look at its ordinance governing trailer parks. It sent thirteen mobile-home parks a copy of a proposed ordinance change, asking for their comments. The proposal called for maintaining minimum distances between trailer homes, in accordance with standards set forth by the National Fire Protection Association. Despite Trailer Haven's objections, Aurora approved the proposal and gave trailer parks ten years to come into compliance with the ordinance. Of the 21 trailer parks in Aurora, only Trailer Haven has yet to do so."
