A. Purpose. This district is composed of those areas of the
City whose principal use is and ought to be for mobile homes and/or
mobile home developments. In addition, the purpose of this district
is to:
1. Assure that mobile homes and their developments are an asset to the
community and to prevent the development of those which would be a
detriment to the community.
2. To promote mobile home developments with the character of residential
neighborhoods.
3. To protect the health, safety and welfare of mobile home residents
and the surrounding community.
4. To harmonize this type of residential development with other existing
and proposed land uses.
5. To assure adequate service by essential public facilities and services
such as roads, Police, water and sewers and drainage structures.
6. To assure that the persons or agencies responsible for the management
of the mobile home development shall be able to provide adequate public
facilities and services.
7. To assure that the establishment of any mobile home development shall
not equal excessive expense for public facilities and services.
B. Permitted Uses. The listing of permitted uses is set out
in Appendix A to this Title IV.
C. Conditional Uses. The listing of conditional uses is set
out in Appendix A to this Title IV.
D. General Regulations.
1. Building permit. Any structure erected or expanded
within a mobile home development, including any structures to be erected
or expended or any mobile home site therein, shall require a building
permit to be issued therefore by the City Engineer and shall meet
all regulations of this Chapter and the Building Code.
2. Application of regulations. A mobile home unit shall
not be permitted to occupy a site either initially when brought into
a development or upon addition or replacement which violated the yard
requirements, area requirements or minimum distances between units
except in non-conforming mobile home parks within this district.
3. Periodic inspection. The City Engineer or any other
agents authorized by the City are hereby granted the power and authority
to enter upon the premises of any such development at any time for
the purpose of determining and/or enforcing any provision or provisions
of this or any other City ordinance applicable to the conduct and
operation of mobile home developments.
4. Performance standards. Mobile home developments shall meet the performance standards as required by Article
XII of this Chapter.
5. Site plan review. Site plan review by the Planning and Zoning Commission is required prior to issuance of building permits as required in Article
XIII of this Chapter. In those instances where the lots within mobile home developments are to be recorded for sale purposes, the approval of a preliminary plat by the Planning and Zoning Commission shall constitute compliance with this requirement.
E. District Regulations And Performance Standards. The regulations set forth in the "R-1B" District Section
405.145(D) shall apply, including the following:
1. Lot area: Every lot or parcel of land occupied by
each dwelling shall contain an area of not less than one (1) acre.
2. Lot width. The minimum lot width shall be one hundred
fifty (150) feet.
3. Off-street parking. Three (3) off-street parking spaces shall be provided for each dwelling unit. In no case shall the paved area designated for the required off-street parking encroach upon the street right-of-way. (See Article
XI of this Chapter for additional parking requirements.)
4. Public utilities required. In no case shall any
mobile home and/or development be approved where the home and/or development
will not be connected to or provided with a public water and sanitary
sewer system.
5. Effect of regulations. In their interpretation and
application, the provisions of this Article shall be considered minimum
requirements adopted for the promotion of the public health, safety
and welfare. However, recognizing the nature of mobile home units,
it is recognized that lots exceeding the minimum yard and area requirements
of this Chapter may be required to accommodate some units and that
suitable provisions shall be made by potential developers of such
mobile home developments in their advance planning to provide for
such units. Based upon, this guideline, the fact that the size of
a particular mobile home unit or class of mobile units, are such that
a violation of any of the minimum yard or area requirements would
be created, this in itself shall not be considered an adequate basis
for the granting of a variance from such requirements.
6. Dimensional requirements. From all mobile home stands,
the following minimum distance shall be maintained:
a. Ten (10) feet from lots to a buffer strip.
b. Thirty (30) feet to the boundary of such development which is not
a public street.
c. Fifty (50) feet to the right-of-way of any public street or highway.
d. Fifty (50) feet to any parking area designed for general parking
in such development (general parking defines parking bays for other

7. Minimum accommodations. Each mobile home within
such development shall contain a flush toilet, sleeping accommodations,
a tub or shower bath, kitchen facilities and plumbing and electrical
connections designed for attachments to appropriate external systems.

Transition strip. A transition strip of trees
and shrubs not less than thirty (30) feet in depth at the rear and
side yards, shall be located and maintained along all boundaries of
such developments, excepting at established entrances and exits serving
such development. Said transition strip shall be of such density as
to totally obscure all visible evidence of the development from adjoining
property.
[Ord. No. 342 §1, 1-14-2013]
b. Landscape plan. An organized landscape plan shall
be prepared as a separate document and submitted to the Planning and
Zoning Commission during the required site plan review for their review
and approval. The Commission may either approve, approve with specific
revisions or corrections or reject the submitted landscape plan.
c. Landscape maintenance. Any and all plantings in
the development shall be hardy plant materials and maintained thereafter
in a neat and orderly manner. Withered and/or dead plant material
shall be replaced within a reasonable period of time but no longer
than one (1) growing season, as reflected upon the approved landscape
plan.
9. Orientation of mobile homes upon lots. All mobile
homes within the mobile home developments regulated by the requirements
of this Chapter shall be placed upon their individual lots in such
a fashion that the long axis of the mobile home shall face the principal
street frontage upon which the lot itself faces. In the case of corner

and not permitted upon collector or arterial streets.

sewerage and water facilities shall be of such capacity as to serve
all users of the home or development at peak periods. All lines shall
be suitable sized and stubbed out to the property lines of the development
to provide for future extension of the City sanitary sewerage and
water systems for the respective areas remaining to be served.
2. Storm drainage facilities. Storm drainage facilities
shall be so construed as to protect those that will reside in the
mobile home or development, as well as the property owners adjacent

rapid and safe drainage and prevent the accumulation of stagnant pools
of water in or adjacent to the development.

in good condition with functional lids and cleaned sufficiently often
to preclude the accumulation of putrescible material and the emanation
of objectionable odors.
7. Mailboxes. A central mailbox facility shall be provided
near the entrance to the mobile home park easily accessible to the
carrier. Each lot shall be provided a lockable box sufficiently large
to contain that resident's mail. The resident shall be provided with
a key to access the box. The mailbox facility shall be weathertight
and maintained in good condition.

other lines from supply poles outside the park or other source to
each mobile home site shall be underground.

type of nuisance or health hazard. Such connections shall not exceed
ten (10) feet in length above ground.
H. Non-Conforming Mobile Home Parks. Where on the date of adoption
of amendment of this Chapter a lawful mobile home park existed that

requirements of this Chapter. Nor shall the mobile homes within the
existing site be rearranged to increase their number of density within
the existing confines of the park.
