"Manufactured home" is defined as a structure which is mass produced in a factory; is designed and constructed for transportation to a site for installation and use when connected to required utilities; is built on a chassis; and is designed for long-term residential use by a family, containing kitchen, bath and sleeping facilities. For purposes of these regulations, manufactured homes shall be divided into the following classes:

A.

Class A. A structure built since June 1, 1976, certified as meeting the mobile home construction and safety standards promulgated by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, or the HUD Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards as amended June 29, 1982, and meeting the definition of a "manufactured home" as follows:

1.

The manufactured home shall be multisectional and enclose a space of not less than one thousand (1,000) square feet;

2.

The manufactured home shall be placed on an excavated and backfilled foundation and enclosed as the perimeter such that the home is located not more than twelve inches (12") above grade;

3.

The manufactured home shall have a pitched roof, except that no standards shall require a slope greater than a nominal three feet (3') in height for each twelve feet (12') in width;

4.

The manufactured home shall have exterior siding and roofing which in color, material and appearance are similar to the exterior siding and roofing material commonly used on residential dwellings within the community or which is comparable to the predominant materials used on surrounding dwellings as determined by the local permit approval authority;

5.

The manufactured home shall have an attached garage or single-car carport constructed of like materials. The council and commission may require an attached or a detached garage in lieu of a carport where this is consistent with the predominant construction of immediately surrounding dwellings;

6.

In addition to the provisions of subsections (A)(1) and (A)(5) of this section, a city or county may subject a manufactured home and the lot upon which it is sited to any development standards, architectural requirement and minimum size requirements to which a conventional single-family residential dwelling on the same lot would be subjected.

B.

Class B. Manufactured homes certified as meeting the Department of Housing and Urban Development Mobile Home Construction and Safety Standards as promulgated in 1976, but not necessarily meeting "acceptable similarity" appearance standards. Class B mobile homes may or may not be placed on permanent foundations.

C.

Class C. Mobile homes constructed prior to 1976 which are found upon inspection to be in good condition and are suitable for residential occupancy. Class "C" mobile homes are allowed only in mobile home parks at the discretion of the mobile home owner.

D.

Class D. Mobile homes found on inspection to be in poor condition and unsafe and/or unfit for residential occupancy due to conditions or defects which are deemed to endanger the life, health, property or safety of the occupants or of the public. Applicable conditions and/or defects are identified in Chapter 3, Section 302 of the Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings. Class D mobile homes are not permitted within the city of Homedale.

(Ord. 353 (part), 2005; Ord. 309 Art. XI, §B, 1997).

Manufactured homes for permanent living quarters on property other than in mobile home parks shall be permitted in the city when all of the following conditions have been met:

A.

The property is located in an "A" agriculture or "R" residential land use area as shown on the official schedule of district regulations contained in this title;

B.

The site contains a minimum of seven thousand (7,000) square feet and a minimum lot size as set forth in the city of Homedale height, setback and area schedule within the appropriate districts "A" and "R";

C.

A manufactured home placed on a parcel of land shall meet the setback and parking requirements of the "R" residential zone;

D.

The manufactured home shall be either Class A or Class B containing flush-type toilet and other sanitary facilities. Sanitary connections shall conform to the regulations of the agencies having jurisdiction over them. Outside electrical connections shall also conform to the regulations of the agencies having jurisdiction over them. All connections shall be inspected by the appropriate inspectors and required permits obtained;

E.

Class C mobile homes already in place at the date of passage of the ordinance codified in this title which do not meet the mobile home construction and safety standards promulgated by the Department of Housing and Urban Development in 1976 shall be allowed to continue as nonconforming mobile homes; however, when replaced, they must be upgraded to Class A or Class B "manufactured homes" as defined in this title;

F.

Prior to any construction or the establishment of a manufactured home on a lot or parcel of land, the owner or his agent shall obtain a building permit from the city.

(Ord. 353 (part), 2005; Ord. 309 Art. XI, §C, 1997).

Following establishment of the manufactured home, all further building improvements on the lot or parcel of land may be permitted by obtaining an additional building permit from the city, provided such permit would be required for the owner of a conventional and fixed residence in the same zone. Accessory buildings shall not exceed thirteen feet (13') in height, or the height of the roof line of the manufactured home, whichever is greater. This height shall not include an antenna and/or cooler.

(Ord. 309 Art. XI, §D, 1997).

Nothing within these regulations shall be construed to allow a recreational vehicle as a permanent dwelling.

(Ord. 309 Art. XI, §E, 1997).
