Intent: The Manufactured Home Overlay District (MH) is established to provide for existing and proposed neighborhoods, which include or are proposed to include manufactured homes. The requirements herein are intended to ensure compatibility with existing housing stock by imposing supplemental appearance standards for manufactured housing. The Manufactured Home Overlay district may only be applied to tracts zoned Residential Agriculture (R-2), supplementing the range of residential types permitted in the underlying district. For existing neighborhoods, the MH District may be established by map adoption; for proposed neighborhoods, the MH District requires zoning approval accompanied by a detailed development plan and supporting materials.

Building massing illustrates the application of design techniques to reduce the visual perception of size and integrate larger buildings with pre-existing smaller buildings.

(4) All subdivision standards shall be met.
