Manufactured housing is allowed only in manufactured home parks.
(A) Setup. Manufactured housing, where permitted by this Zoning Ordinance, shall:
(1) Be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's installation manual. In the absence of such a manual, the home must be installed in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 79, section 42 of the South Carolina Manufactured Housing Board Regulations.
(2) Be under skirted around the entire home with brick, masonry, vinyl, or similar materials designed and manufactured for permanent outdoor installation.
(3) Have permanent landing steps at each exterior doorway installed or constructed and attached firmly to the home and anchored securely to the ground, in accordance with applicable Building Codes.
(4) Have all moving or towing apparatus removed or concealed including hitch, wheels and axles.
(5) Be provided with a sanitary sewer system approved by SCDHEC. Evidence of such approval shall accompany each and every permit request to install a manufactured home.
(6) Be served by a separate electric meter.
(a) It shall be unlawful for any such home to receive electricity except by use of a separate meter.
(b) It shall be unlawful for any public utility or electrical supplier to connect service to any manufactured home in the absence of an approved permit issued by the Zoning Administrator to establish said home.
(c) It shall be the duty and responsibility of each supplier of electricity to render a monthly report to the Zoning Administrator as to connections and disconnections made to manufactured homes.
(d) The Zoning Administrator may, at his or her discretion, issue a temporary permit to secure electrical service for a valid reason such as the construction of a power pole to aid in the installation of the unit. A temporary permit shall be valid for 15 days unless otherwise specified on the permit. This provision shall not be construed to exempt the applicant from the requirement for a regular permit within the 15 day period. If a permit is not obtained as required, the Zoning Administrator may direct that the electricity be disconnected. Any additional fee to reconnect would be the responsibility of the owner or applicant.
(B) Utilities. No manufactured home shall be permitted, used or occupied, nor shall public utilities be extended to or activated in any such home until the utility and electric connection to the home has been inspected and found to be in accordance with all applicable codes by the Building Official.
