Residential Manufactured Home District
It is the intent of this section that adequate provision be made for manufactured home housing in the City. It is further the intent to declare that the use of manufactured homes for dwelling purposes be in manufactured home parks or manufactured home subdivisions, except as set out specifically in this chapter. It is further the intent to find and declare that the mixing of manufactured homes and conventional dwellings in the same development makes for mutual incompatibility for both types of dwellings. Therefore, a special district of low density is established to provide suitable living environments in manufactured home developments and to ensure the compatibility of such developments with adjoining and nearby present and future development of other types.
