The RM District recognizes that mobile home development, properly planned, can provide important opportunities for affordable housing. It provides opportunities for mobile home development within planned parks or subdivisions, along with the supporting services necessary to create quality residential neighborhoods.

Note 1: Townhouse Development

No more than four (4) units may be attached in a single townhouse structure within an RM District.

Note 2: Zero (0) Lot Line Development

Within a common development, one (1) interior side yard may be equal to zero (0) for single-family detached residential use if:

1.

The side yard opposite to the zero (0) yard must equal at least twice the normal required minimum side yard.

2.

The normal side yard setback requirement must be maintained adjacent to any lot with an existing structure not within the common development; or not otherwise designated for zero (0) lot line use.

3.

An easement for maintenance of the zero (0) lot line façade is prepared and recorded by the developer with the appropriate County Register of Deeds, with a copy of the recorded easement provided to the City Clerk, and the Building Official at the time of application for a building permit.

Note 3: Flexible Yard Setbacks in Planned Districts

The Planning Commission and City Council may vary required minimum setbacks in planned districts. However, the setback from the front facade of a garage to any public or private street right-of-way (including the boundary of sidewalks) must be at least twenty (20) feet.

Note 4: Mobile Home Parks and Subdivisions

Complete development standards for Mobile Home Parks and Subdivisions are set forth in Section 46-103.
