Myrtle Creek City Zoning Code
CHAPTER 18
115 MANUFACTURED HOMES
§ 18.115.010 Purpose.
The purpose of this section is to ensure that the need for a variety of housing types in price ranges commensurate with the desires and economic means of the community's residents is adequately provided for by allowing manufactured homes to be placed on individual lots within the city. Furthermore, it is the intent of this section to establish standards for permanent installation of manufactured homes in subdivisions as well as on individual lots; and to establish specific standards which will enable manufactured homes to blend with conventional housing.
(Ord. 508 § 5.09.1, 1982)
§ 18.115.020 Permitted locations.
Manufactured home subdivisions and manufactured homes on individual lots may be established in any residential district subject to the specific development standards of the district and MCMC § 18.115.030.
In considering the annexation of property which contains an existing manufactured home that does not meet the minimum standards prescribed by this title, the manufactured home may be allowed to continue as a preexisting nonconforming use within the city if the mobile home substantially complies with the standards specified in MCMC § 18.115.030. When it appears that such manufactured home cannot meet the intent of the standards set forth herein, the proposal for annexation may be denied.
