Manufactured Home Park District

This district is established in order to provide for the proper location and planning of manufactured home parks, excluding family manufactured home parks. Special requirements shall be applied to these parks which shall specify improvements to the park to ensure the public health, safety and welfare of the park inhabitants as well as the surrounding area. Designation of an area as being in the MHP district provides design and appearance criteria which are more appropriate for rental manufactured housing and or spaces, including vinyl or similar skirting, clustering of units and reduced road construction standards. These standards are not applicable to manufactured homes and or lots located outside a MHP district. This district requires site plan review for development of manufactured home parks by the board of commissioners. This review is required because the use may have particular impacts on the surrounding area and the county as a whole. Approval of the site plan may include the addition of reasonable and appropriate standards to the site plan. No other uses allowed in the MHP district shall require site plan approval by the board of commissioner unless expressly required by this chapter.; Manufactured home parks, existing at the effective date of this chapter and registered as provided by the county mobile home park ordinance are zoned as conforming uses, even though they may not meet the development standards of this chapter. Expansions of the existing registered manufactured home parks or construction of new manufactured home parks, approved under the county mobile home park ordinance may be initiated or continue unless no work has begun within six months of the date of issuance of a permit to develop under that ordinance, or work has ceased for a period of twelve months.
