This district recognizes that mobile home development,
properly planned, can provide important opportunities for affordable
housing. It provides opportunities for mobile home development within
planned parks or subdivisions, along with the supporting services
necessary to create quality residential neighborhoods. The MH Mobile
Home Residential District is appropriately used in areas designated
by the Papillion Comprehensive Plan as medium-density residential
or high-density residential.
