The purpose of the R-MH district is to recognize and provide for residential areas where manufactured homes built to state and federal construction and safety standards may locate in a suitable environment for family living, and to protect and stabilize the residential characteristics of the district. The intent of these district regulations is to encourage provision of alternative modest income housing opportunities in certain residential areas by permitting the use of certain manufactured homes therein, and to further recognize the trend toward homes of other than conventional construction.
