Uses in the Mobile Home / Tiny Home (MH/TH) Zone listed in Table 18.40-1 Permitted and Conditional Uses in the Mobile Home / Tiny Home (MH/TH) Zone. If a use is not explicitly designated in the table, then the use is prohibited. An applicant seeking a Millcreek Business License may submit a Classification Request by following the procedure as set forth in MKZ 18.15.030 (J), to determine whether a proposed land use aligns with an existing land use listed in Table 18.40-1.

The requirements of this title shall not be construed to prevent the storage of a mobile home or tiny home in the rear yard of a dwelling structure. A mobile home or tiny home so stored may be temporarily used for sleeping purposes by members or guests of the household residing in the dwelling structure, but the mobile home shall not be connected to utilities or used for residential purposes unless approved by the Planning Commission as a temporary use incidental to construction work. Except as provided herein and in MKZ 18.70, Single-Household and Two-Household Dwelling Standards, a mobile home or tiny home shall not be used for residential or sleeping purposes unless the mobile home is located in an approved mobile home park or an approved mobile home subdivision.
