The "T-2" Manufactured Home Park District is established in order to identify and provide for geographic areas within the City of Pinellas Park that are appropriate for the development and maintenance of low-medium density manufactured home parks in which spaces are rented or leased for the placement of manufactured home dwellings for residential single-family occupancy, and for such accessory uses that are customary or necessary for such an environment. This district is appropriate for areas designated on the Official Land Use Plan Map as Residential Low Medium (RLM) and Residential Medium (RM) on the Land Use Plan Map.

A maximum density of ten (10) dwelling units per net acre shall be permitted with a Land Use Plan Map designation of Residential Low Medium (RLM).

Ancillary nonresidential or Transportation/Utility uses shall not exceed a maximum of three (3) acres.

The uses listed as conditional uses below may be permitted if their site locations and proposed development site plans are first approved, as provided in the procedure for approval of conditional uses under Section 18-1531, "Conditional Use Regulations", of this Article. Uses that are similar to any permitted or conditional use, as determined by the Planning and Development Services Director, shall be permitted in the same manner (i.e. permitted versus conditional) as the listed use to which it is similar, provided that any similar use specifically permitted in another zoning district shall not be permitted.
