(Ordinance 2013-08 adopted 9/10/13)
The “MH” Manufactured/Mobile Home Residence District is established as a district in which the principal uses of the land are for manufactured/mobile home dwellings. It is the intent of this Article to encourage the development and the continued use of the land for mobile home dwellings to accommodate primarily permanent occupants with not more than ten percent (10%) or less than five percent (5%) of the manufactured/mobile home stands devoted to purely transient purposes and to prohibit commercial and industrial uses or any other use which would substantially interfere with the development or continuation of manufactured/mobile home dwellings in the District. Transient stands are to be located in one area of the park so they will in no way interfere with the permanent residents. This Article also discourages any use which would generate traffic or create congestion on neighborhood streets other than normal traffic which serves the manufactured/mobile home dwellings or similar residences in this District. It also encourages only those uses which, because of character or size, would not create additional requirements and costs for public services which are in excess of such requirements and costs if the District were developed solely for manufactured/mobile homes or other similar residential uses.
