(C) Manufactured home development; floodplain. The placement of new or replacement manufactured homes in existing manufactured home parks or on individual lots of record that are located within floodplain districts will be treated as a new structure and may be placed only if elevated in compliance with § 152.056(E) of this chapter. If vehicular road access for preexisting manufactured home parks is not provided in accordance with § 152.056(E)(4)(a) of this chapter, then replacement manufactured homes will not be allowed until the property owner(s) develops a flood warning emergency plan acceptable to the Planning Commission and the plan is approved by the City Council.
