This Article describes the different types of manufactured dwellings and their location and siting requirements.
Manufactured dwellings fall into three categories: residential trailers, mobile homes, and manufactured homes (see Chapter 10.2 - Definitions). Buildings and structures subject to the State of Oregon Structural Specialty Code (i.e., modular structures) or those identified as recreational vehicles by the manufacturer are not considered manufactured dwellings. For the purposes of this Title, manufactured dwellings shall be divided into two categories: residential trailers/mobile homes, and manufactured homes. Different requirements apply to each category per State law and these regulations.
A.
Location. Residential trailers and mobile homes shall only be located in the RM - Medium Density Residential zone district, except where permitted as a temporary on-site construction office, or as an approved dwelling for care-taking, maintenance or security personnel.
B.
Set-Up. The minimum set-up, stand, anchoring, and skirting requirements shall be those established for manufactured dwellings by the Oregon State Department of Commerce, Building Codes Division.
C.
Patios, Awnings and Carports. All single-wide mobile homes, excluding residential trailers, shall have at least 1 patio or porch awning, or a carport, constructed of light-weight manufactured materials and anchored to the ground and the awning track of the mobile home. (Single-wide mobile homes in manufactured dwelling parks shall be exempt from this requirement.)
E.
Insignia of Compliance for Mobile Homes. All mobile homes shall bear an "Insignia of Compliance" as provided by Oregon State Law. However, the Director may waive this requirement for units constructed prior to January 1, 1962, or for units constructed outside of the State of Oregon, provided that evidence is submitted indicating that the unit substantially complies with Oregon State laws.
(Ord. 23-1400)
In addition to the following, manufactured homes shall comply with all of the requirements of this and other City ordinances that would apply to a conventional single-family residential dwelling on the same lot:
A.
Location.
1.
Manufactured homes shall be an allowed use on all land where single-family residential uses are allowed, except areas designated as historic districts, and residential land immediately adjacent to a historic landmark.
2.
This section shall not be construed as abrogating a recorded restrictive covenant.
B.
Set-up.
1.
RM - Medium Density Residential District. The minimum set-up and stand requirements shall be those established for manufactured dwellings by the Oregon State Department of Commerce, Building Codes Division, at the time the home is placed.

All Other Zone Districts (Excluding RM). Manufactured homes shall be placed on an excavated and back-filled foundation and enclosed at the perimeter. The enclosing material used shall be in compliance with the appropriate Oregon State Structural Specialty Code regulations in effect at the time of home placement.
