The RMH Residential Mobile Home District is designed for those who prefer mobile home living. Although an assembly of single-family units, mobile home developments typically have a higher density impact than conventional single-family development. In order to not adversely impact other areas of the city, certain land areas are recognized as appropriate for continued mobile home use; provided that, proper site design standards and requirements are met.

(Ord. 188, eff. 2-25-1981)

   In the RMH District, no building or use shall be permitted unless otherwise provided in this chapter, except for the following:

   A.   Mobile homes located in a mobile home park;

   B.   Mobile home parks;

   C.   Publicly owned and operated parks, playfields, museums, libraries and other recreation facilities;

   D.   Municipal uses except DPW yards or garages;

   E.   Home occupations;

   F.   Public, parochial and other private elementary schools offering courses in general education and not operated for profit;

   G.   Essential services; and

   H.   Accessory buildings and uses customarily incidental to the above principal permitted uses.

(Ord. 188, eff. 2-25-1981)

   Mobile home parks shall conform to the requirements as promulgated by the State Mobile Home Commission Rules, as amended.

(Ord. 188, eff. 2-25-1981)

   For permitted uses, a site plan shall be submitted in accordance with this code.

(Ord. 188, eff. 2-25-1981)

   A.   The minimum lot area for a mobile home park shall be 20 acres.

   B.   The minimum width of any part of the lot, which contains dwellings and buildings open to occupants of the mobile home park shall be 200 feet.

   C.   1.   A mobile home and its accessory buildings (i.e., sheds) shall not occupy more than 35% of the area of the site on which it is located. Where a roofed area, such as a carport or outdoor recreation shelter is open for 40% or more of it perimeter, its lot coverage shall be computed as one-half the area covered by the roof.

      2.   When the site is adjacent to an approved common open space, not less than ten feet in minimum width, other than vehicular access, an additional 5% of the site may be occupied by the dwelling unit.

   D.   The following minimum distances shall be provided and maintained from a mobile home unit and shall be measured from the face of the mobile home unit. If the mobile home unit has an attached or add-on structure, which is enclosed for more than 50% of its perimeter, the applicable difference shall be measured from the face of the attached structure:

      1.   Twenty feet between mobile home units;

      2.   Ten feet from an on-site parking space on an adjacent site;

      3.   Ten feet from a detached accessory structure;

      4.   Fifty feet from any principal building which is not a mobile home;

      5.   Twenty feet from the right-of-way line of a street within the mobile home park;

      6.   Seven and one-half feet from any parking bay; and

      7.   Seven feet from a common pedestrian walkway.
