Modular homes are permitted in R-2, R-3, and R-4 Residential Districts and must conform to Section 1151.02 (Height, Lot Area and Floor Area Minimum Requirements). Modular Homes are also permitted in M-2 Districts for use in temporary construction yards and facilities.

   (e)    "Temporary Construction Project" means a construction project that is intended to provide for the construction, building, maintenance, reconstruction of highways, pipelines, utilities, buildings, and other improvements in Dover, Tuscarawas County, or any of the surrounding environs that will likely last for a period of up to three years from the inception of the project.
