This district is intended to accommodate mobile home parks exclusively, and is based on the premise that the demand for mobile homes in an urban setting can best be supplied by the establishment of mobile home park districts in the County. The following regulations are designed to ensure an attractive and harmonious environment for mobile home dwellings.

(Reserved)

A mobile home park of more than 10 acres shall have more than one street access.

The minimum setback, or front yard, of a mobile home park adjacent to a public street shall be 100 feet, such distance to be measured between the park property line and the nearest mobile home or other structure. Except along mobile home park property lines which are adjacent to a natural drainage area or a limited access highway, side and rear yards shall contain a screen, fence or landscape planting which shall be designed and planted to be at least 50% solid, year-round, when viewed horizontally between two and six feet above average ground level.

The minimum frontage for a mobile home park shall be 150 feet on a public street or road.

Intensity of development shall be limited to no more than eight mobile homes per acre of gross park area. Each site or lot for an individual mobile home shall not be less than 4,000 square feet in area and 44 feet wide, except that a space for a double-wide mobile home shall not be less than 56 feet wide. Each lot shall be marked by permanent markers at each corner.

Mobile homes shall be placed in spaces so that, at the nearest point, they shall be at least 20 feet from all roadways, eight feet from detached enclosed carports or garages and 16 feet from any other mobile home, or attachment thereto, or other buildings. For the purpose of the spacing requirements, a mobile home includes any attached, enclosed structure. Detached enclosed carports or garages and storage structures are not considered to be part of the mobile home nor are attached unenclosed awnings, porches and carports. Mobile homes and accessory structures shall not be more than 18 feet in height.

At least 10% of the gross park area shall be designated and reserved for suitable recreational area; 50% of such areas shall be provided outside of any established floodplain and shall have a slope of not more than 5%.

All mobile homes shall be placed in a designated mobile home space and shall not obstruct the use of, or overhang, any driveway, roadway, walkway, or public utility easement.

At least one parking space, 180 square feet in size, as required by the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code, shall be provided for each mobile home space on, or adjacent to, or in a consolidated parking area within 60 feet of the mobile home space. All required parking areas shall be of hard surface and dustless construction.

All mobile home spaces shall abut upon a street or roadway of not less than 20 feet in width or a parking area adjacent to a street or roadway. Street or roadway parking is prohibited. Streets or roadways shall have unobstructed access to a public street or highway. All streets or roadways shall be of hard surface and of dustless construction, and shall be identified by name and designated as such at each intersection within the park.

All telephone, electrical distribution, water, fuel and other utility lines shall be placed underground in a mobile home park. All sanitary sewage connections for a mobile home shall be beneath the mobile home.

The park management shall be responsible for the collection and proper disposal of refuse. The storage and collection of refuse shall be managed so that it does not create a health or fire hazard. All refuse shall be stored in flyproof, watertight, rodentproof containers provided in sufficient capacity.

Every application for the construction, alteration, expansion of operation, maintenance and occupancy of a mobile home park shall be accompanied with plans and specifications fully setting out the space, motor vehicle parking spaces, the roadway giving access thereto, a plan of landscaping and providing a connection to a sanitary sewer and public water system for each and every mobile home. Before any permit is issued for a mobile home park and the use thereof, the plans and specifications shall first be approved by the County's Zoning Administrator, County's Planning Commission and the County's Health Department, taking into account all of the provisions as set out herein; and provided, further, that said plans and specifications are in accordance with state regulations governing mobile homes.

An adequate water supply facility and central sewage treatment facility that meets the requirements of the Health Department shall be installed to meet the needs of all the mobile homes within the mobile home park.

All mobile homes shall be mounted and anchored with tie downs in accordance with the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code.

All mobile homes shall be skirted with fire-resistant materials as approved by the Amelia County Building Official, which shall be installed prior to occupancy of the mobile home.

A mobile home park shall have a greenbelt planting strip not less than 20 feet in width along all subdivision boundaries. This greenbelt shall not include public streets, rights-of-way, natural floodplain or drainage areas, or limited access highways.

All applications required under this article shall require a fee established by the local governing body which shall accompany the applications when they are submitted for processing. The Zoning Administrator shall make available to the public a schedule of the fees.
