The purpose of this chapter is to establish standards and requirements for the development of manufactured home subdivision in Parowan City. While individual manufactured homes affixed to lots are regulated as conventional housing, subdivisions consisting of 80% or more manufactured homes require a conditional use permit. The intent is to ensure that such developments align with the rural character of the community by avoiding uniform, repetitive designs and meeting all applicable subdivision requirements.

1. Manufactured Home: A factory-built , single-family structure that is transportable in one or more sections, built on a permanent chassis, and designed to be used as a dwelling when connected to required utilities. It must comply with the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974 and be placed on a permanent foundation. A manufactured home is no longer a mobile home after it has been permanently attached to a property and by recording an "Affidavit of Affixture with the Iron County Recorder and Receipt for Surrender of Title."

2. Manufactured Home Subdivision: A residential subdivision where 80% or more of the dwelling units are manufactured homes.

Manufactured home subdivisions are allowed only through the conditional use process in residential zones where permitted. Individual manufactured homes outside of these subdivisions are regulated as conventional housing after it has been permanently attached to the property and by recording an "Affidavit of Mobile Home Affixture and Receipt for Surrender of Title" at the office of the Iron County Recorder.

All manufactured home subdivisions must go through the standard subdivision process, and must also apply for a conditional use permit following the provisions of this chapter. Standard subdivision requirements include but are not limited to:

A. Review and approval by the Subdivision Review Committee (SRC) and the Planning and Zoning Commission.

B. Compliance with all city subdivision regulations, including rad dedications, public utility easements, and storm water management.

C. Dedication of public streets that meet city standards; private roads are not permitted.

D. Conformance with all fire safety, emergency access, and public infrastructure requirements.

A. A site plan and elevations demonstrating:

1. Variation in home design and layout to avoid a "cookie-cutter" or tract home appearance.

2. Landscaping plans that ensure the rural character of the subdivision.

3. Compliance with setback, lot size, and density requirements.

B. A conditional use permit application with justification for the subdivision's compatibility with surrounding areas.

D. Common areas or open spaces must be included as required by city subdivision regulations and/or the Planning and Zoning Commission.
