For the purposes of this chapter a "manufactured home" is defined as a factory-built structure which is manufactured or constructed to be used as a place for human habitation, but which is not constructed or equipped with a permanent hitch or other device allowing the structure to be moved other than for the purposes of moving to a permanent site, which structure does not have permanently attached to its body or frame any wheels or axles. A mobilehome is not a manufactured home for the purposes of this chapter. A modular home shall be treated the same as a manufactured home under this chapter, and is defined as factory-built housing certified by the city building inspector or the manufacturer's Uniform Building Code inspector as meeting the standards established by the most recent and currently adopted Uniform Building Code, ratified by the city through incorporation into its ordinances by reference. Once certified, such housing will, for zoning and building code enforcement, be treated as a one-family detached dwelling. (Ord. 412 § 3 (part), 1994: prior code § 14-907 (part))
A. Manufactured homes, as defined in this chapter, are allowed to be placed in any residential district within the confines of Custer City, so long as the placement of the home meets any other zoning or setback requirements mandated for a stick-built house placed therein, subject to the other specific limitations set forth in this chapter.
