The intent of the Manufactured or Mobile Home Subdivision District (RM-1) is to provide for manufactured or mobile home subdivision development on small lots together with such public and semipublic buildings and facilities and accessory structures or uses as may be necessary and are compatible with residential development of this nature. The district is specifically designed to permit the platting and selling of subdivided lots upon which manufactured or mobile homes affixed to the land may be placed; to encourage such future development to occur on vacant land where the natural characteristics of such land are suitable for this type of development; to permit population densities which are low enough to be compatible with neighboring single-family development; to provide policies which will encourage such residential development to occur where public facilities and services are existing or within plans for improvement; and to discourage any activities not compatible with residential development.
