Manufactured home subdivisions consist of developments which are exclusively designed for manufactured home occupancy. This class of development permits the use of lots which are of smaller width and area than standard residential development. Manufactured home subdivisions do not include manufactured home parks in which spaces are offered for lease only. Manufactured home subdivisions must be platted in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 82 of the City of Magnolia Code.

Manufactured home subdivisions must include a minimum of 20 lots. The minimum of 20-lot requirement applies regardless of whether or not the lots are 5,000 square feet in area, or greater, and otherwise satisfy the requirements for standard residential development.

Compensating open space in the amount of 250 square feet per lot is required for each manufactured home lot or space having an area of less than 5,000 square feet. Compensating open spaces must be configured and located so as to be generally accessible and conducive to use by the residents of the manufactured home subdivision. Compensating open spaces are not maintained by the city. Covenants, filed of record and running with the land shall impose the responsibility for maintenance of the common space areas upon the manufactured home park operator or of the lot owners within the subdivision. Voluntary payments for public park improvements may be made in lieu of the reservation of onsite open spaces. Payments in lieu of open space reservations must be in an amount equal to the average predevelopment value of a like quantity of land within the development. Payments made in lieu of open space reservations shall be used exclusively for the acquisition or improvement of public works.

When in the opinion of the Magnolia City Council it is determined that subdivisions or areas within the city limits, but not included in permitted manufactured home parks, there is a preponderance of manufactured homes, not including mobile homes, where it will not create a negative influence or impact on the subdivision or neighborhood to place an additional HUD-Code approved manufactured housing unit therein, the city council may grant approval for placement of these units outside of an approved manufactured home park, provided that at least 75 percent of all residences within 300 feet of the proposed site be surveyed and grant their approval for said placement.
