Page Five THE ZONING REPORT~ (b). A mobile home stand, or mobile home pad, is a land area designated on a mobile home space upon which a mobile home or manufactured home is intended to be located. This land area is required ,to be paved or have a hard-surfaced dust-free drained non-erosive surface. The stand has permanent water~ sewer and power utility connections so positioned that a mobile/manufactured home, placed on the stand, can be readily connected to them. The front yard portion of the mobile home space between the street and the stand must be kept free of permanent obstructions, to allow transport and maneuvering of a mobile/manufac- tured home onto and from the stand from the street. (c). A manufactured home lot is a platted lot in a subdivision designed specifically for man- ufactured homes. Like any lot in a conventional subdivision, tots in manufactured home sub- divisions have minimum width, area and coverage set forth in the zoning code specifically for manufactured home subdivisions. These zoning standards are subject to modification on a case basis under regulations in the zoning code that allow special project design layouts, such as for cluster and zero-lot-line designs. D. Other definitions in zoning codes applying to zoning regulation of mobile home parks and manu- factured home subdivisions include: access, common access route or street (the internal streets in mobile home parks), add-on (mobile home accessory structure), driveway, permit, occupancy permit, license, business operating license, lease, lessee, lessor (of mobile home space), occupant, owner (of mobile home), service building (has toilets, lavatory and other facilities required by zoning/san- itation/fire codes), sewer connection (from drain outlet of mobile/manufactured home to inlet of sewer service riser pipe), sewer service riser pipe (portion of sewer service extending vertically to ground elevation and terminates at a mobile home space or stand), water connection, and water riser pipe. 3. HOW MOBILE HOME PARKS AND MANUFACTURED HOME SUBDIVISIONS ARE PERMITTED IN A COMMUNITY BY ZONING CODES A. Permitted as a freestanding zone. A rezoning application is submitted by a private applicant as a developer and is approved like any other rezoning application. The zone is always a planned zone at a specific maximum residential density. It requires submission of a site plan, grading and drainage..plan; sediment and erosion control plan, a landscape plan, utilities plan and construction plans for infrastructure and streets in the project. Mobile home parks and manufactured home sub- divisions can be developed in phases with required plans and plats submitted for the entire project in the application for the first phase. A phase cannot be occupied by living units until it is com- pleted and has an occupancy permit. A phase is completed when, for parks, the final development plan for the phase is accepted by the elected board and the occupancy permit issued; and for man- ufactured home subdivisions, the final plat for the phase is accepted by the elected board and re- corded. (a). For mobile home parks~ a preliminary development plan is submitted concurrently with the rezoning application, for approval by the CPC and the elected board. The preliminary development plan includes a submission of a construction plan. of typical mobile home spa- ces and stands and their utility connections. (b). For manufactured home subdivisions~ a preliminary subdivision plat is submitted concur- rently with the rezoning application. The plat must conform to all subdivision code require- ments or to special design regulations for innovative plats. September 9, 1994 Issue
