well as to other applicable standards in this chapter.
Mobile home parks shall be planned as a unit, and the tract
shall be in single ownership or under unified control.
A.
Mobile home parks shall be laid out with due consideration to slopes
and other natural features. Natural drainageways will in no way be
impaired by development. Streets should run, where possible, with
the contours of the land. Efforts should be made to lay out the mobile
home park in other than grid patterns so that long sight distances
may be avoided.

Mobile homes, as defined in Article II of this chapter, placed on individual lots are encouraged to be placed off-center on the lots so as to provide a large usable yard space and outdoor living area in one section of the lot.
C.
Groups or clusters of units, so placed as to create interior spaces
and courtyards, shall be incorporated whenever feasible.
D.
Mobile homes are encouraged to be arranged in a variety of orientations
and are strongly encouraged to have many units with their long axes
east-west, offering a southern exposure to their longest wall and
roof areas, and to provide variety and interest. Tract layout shall
be designed to ensure that mobile homes are offset to block long uninterrupted
vistas between the dwellings.
E.
When topographic conditions make street orientation for good solar
orientation of dwellings difficult or undesirable, lots should be
laid out so that dwellings can be oriented to the south to the greatest
extent possible.
A.
The mobile home stand shall provide for practical placement on and
removal from the lot of the mobile home, retention of the home on
the lot in a stable condition, and in satisfactory relationship to
its surroundings.

The location of each mobile home stand shall be at such elevation,
distance, and angle in relation to the access street and the mobile
home accessway that placement and removal of the mobile home is practical.
C.
The mobile home stand shall react as a fixed support and shall as
such remain intact without unsafe deformation and abnormal internal
movement under the weight of the mobile home due to frost action,
inadequate drainage, vibration, wind, or other forces acting on the
structure.

The mobile home stand shall include provisions for utility connections.
