This chapter shall protect and preserve the public health, safety, and general welfare of the residents and neighborhoods of this city for the following reasons:
(A) The unregulated installation of manufactured homes on single-family residentially zoned lots throughout the city may adversely impact property values in certain neighborhoods where manufactured homes (either in general or because of the specific types installed) are incompatible and unsuitable, and proper development and design standards and criteria are not applied. This would result in the economic and social deterioration of current neighborhoods and the city, as well as in potentially substantial losses to current residents and property owners, both in terms of their investments in property and their confidence in the ability of the city to protect them and manage its affairs.
(B) The unregulated installation of manufactured homes throughout the city may adversely impact areas of historical or scenic interest and value to the city and its residents when manufactured homes are installed which are incompatible and unsuitable, and proper design and development standards and criteria are not applied. Such areas are irreplaceable and the City Council finds they are of such value and significance that extraordinary measures are justified and required in order to protect them.
