(a)   (1)   The MHP Manufactured Home Park District, which is a Special District in the city, is established in recognition of the fact that there are special uses which should be accommodated in the community, but which, due to their nature, are not entirely compatible with uses permitted in the standard districts.

      (2)   The MHP Manufactured Home Park District is established in recognition of manufactured homes which are of such a nature as to warrant individual consideration and regulation due to the unique demands they place upon the public health and welfare and the requirements of location and development that generally are peculiar to these uses.

   (b)   It is the intent of this chapter to allow manufactured homes to be suitably located and developed in unified areas having all necessary services and facilities comprehensively provided in accordance with a predetermined site plan. To this end the site development and landscape design principles of the MHP Manufactured Home Park District, together with the provisions of associated park and recreational facilities, shall be an important consideration in achieving an attractive residential environment of sustained desirability that will promote stability, order and efficiency of the residential area.

(Ord. 1-91, passed 3-4-1991)

      (7)   Sufficient space shall be provided on the manufactured home park site for storage of manufactured homes or mobile homes vacated for more than a 30-day period, except due to temporary leave of absence. The storage area shall be provided with an obscuring screen. The area used for storage of manufactured homes or mobile homes shall be exclusive of any parks, public spaces or rights-of-way of interior roads, and that space shall not be used for the sale and service of manufactured homes or mobile homes.
