Editor's note— Ord. No. 1-2016, adopted June 12, 2016, amended art. VIII in its entirety to read as herein set out. Former art. VIII, §§ 8.1 and 8.2 was entitled "Manufactured Housing Units." With the inclusion of said ordinance and at the request of the county, ch. 32 §§ 32-1—32-9, have been removed from the Code of Ordinances which have been incorporated into this art. VIII of the Zoning Ordinance. Former provisions of ch. 32 derived from: Ord. of Apr. 15, 2005, §§ 46-1—46-8, 46-10; Amend. of Apr. 15, 2007; and amend. of Sept. 11, 2007.


Section 8.1.- Purpose.

The purpose of this article is to provide for sound and healthy residential environments sufficient to meet the unique needs of inhabitants living in manufactured housing units; to protect manufactured housing unit groups from encroachment by incompatible land uses; and to encourage the consolidation of manufactured housing units into manufactured housing unit districts and to set forth requirements for emplacement of mobile homes/manufactured homes or recreational vehicles in the county from and after April 15, 2005. These requirements include, but not limited to, a building permit, sanitary permit, and moving permit, tie downs, piers, connection to electrical, water and sanitary systems, and an annual mobile home/manufactured home location permit (State of Georgia Tax Decal). This chapter also establishes requirements for construction of mobile home/manufactured home parks, recreational vehicle parks built after April 15, 2005.
