The standards set forth in this Article are intended to provide the opportunity for affordable, single-family manufactured homes to be located within safe, well-planned rental or land-lease environments. A housing development that remains under the ownership of one individual, corporation, or business, should be designed and maintained in such a manner that ensures that adequate open space for each home and family is provided, that appropriate infrastructure improvements are installed and adequately maintained, and that the development is compatible with the character of surrounding residential neighborhoods. (Ord. 2290, 7-19-1999)
"Manufactured home development" is defined as a site, lot or tract of land under common ownership upon which three (3) or more manufactured homes may be sited. Manufactured home developments may be permitted in residential zoning districts as a special use, if the provisions of special use permit procedures, Section 10-03-04 of this Chapter, are met and a special use permit has been approved. (Ord. 2290, 7-19-1999)
A "manufactured home", as defined in Section 10-03-11 of this Chapter, a storage shed, accessory building, and any other use as proposed and approved in the development's rules and regulations, shall be permitted on each manufactured home space. Other uses proposed by the applicant shall be included in the design and layout of the development. Other uses may include, but are not limited to, recreational areas, recreational vehicle storage areas, and community buildings. No other uses shall be permitted, other than those initially approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission, unless an amendment to the special use permit has received approval following the public hearing process. (Ord. 2290, 7-19-1999)
Manufactured home developments, unless otherwise approved as a planned unit development, shall be served by public street and utility systems that have been designed and constructed to the requirements set forth in articles 3 and 4 of Caldwell Subdivision Ordinance 1758 1 . (Ord. 2290, 7-19-1999)
