(A) No temporary building or temporary structure shall be erected, reconstructed, enlarged, or moved on to any lot, plot or tract of land other than for agricultural purposes or as a temporary construction field office unless it conforms with this chapter.
(B) (1) A mobile home may be moved onto a lot, plot or tract of land and be used as a temporary residence for a period of one year during the construction time of a permanent residence on the same lot, plot or tract. Prior to the moving of any mobile home onto any lot, plot or tract for that purpose, the owner shall obtain a special exception grant from the Board of Zoning Appeals. The grant shall run for a period of one year. Upon expiration, the grant may be extended for one additional year by the Zoning Administrator upon adequate showing by the owner that the construction of the residence has not progressed to a livable stage due to conditions beyond his control. Only one extension shall be allowed for the grant; after the final expiration of the grant, the mobile home shall be vacated and removed within 30 days of the expiration date.
(2) The temporary residence shall comply with all city and state health requirements which would be imposed upon a permanent residence on the same lot, plot or tract.

(1) The mobile home or travel trailer shall be permitted only on property having no permanent dwelling.
(2) The mobile home or travel trailer shall not be permitted to encroach on the required yard or setback as specified by the zone in which it is located.
(3) The mobile home or travel trailer shall not be moved onto a property unless an improvement location permit has been issued, and it shall not be used for dwelling purposes until a certificate of occupancy has been issued.

(D) No mobile homes, mobile home offices and semi-trailers shall be permitted as permanent storage sheds in any zone.
