In addition to compliance with provisions set forth under § 152.068 of this subchapter, a manufactured home shall be permitted on individual lots in all residential and commercial zones permitting single-family dwellings, subject to the following standards:
(A) The manufactured home shall be multi-sectional and enclose an area of not less than 1,000 square feet; except, in the R-3 Zone, a single-wide or multi-sectional home enclosing a floor area of not less than 700 square feet shall be permitted. A manufactured home shall not be considered multi-sectional (double-wide or larger) by virtue of having a tip-out section;

Where the building site has a sloped grade, no more than 12 inches of the enclosing material shall be exposed on the uphill side of the home, if the manufactured home is placed on a basement or a garage, the 12-inch limitation will not apply;
(C) The manufactured home shall have a pitched roof, except that no standard shall require a slope grater than a nominal three feet in height for each 12 feet in width;
(D) The manufactured home shall not have corrugated metal but shall have exterior siding and roofing which in color, material, and appearance is similar to the exterior siding and roofing material commonly used on residential dwellings within the community or which is comparable to the predominant materials used on surrounding dwellings as determined by the City Planner or Planning Commission;
(E) The manufactured home shall be certified by the manufacturer to have an exterior thermal envelope meeting performance standards which reduce heat loss levels to the performance standards required of single-family dwellings constructed under the State Building Code as defined in the applicable state statute;
(F) The manufactured dwelling shall have a driveway, which driveway shall have a durable and dustless surface; and
(G) Manufactured dwellings shall not be sited adjacent to any structure listed on the register of historic landmarks and districts.
