21-2-7.5: APPROVAL CRITERIA:

A PAD District may be approved only when the City Council determines that the proposed PAD would result in a greater benefit to the City as a whole than would development under conventional zoning district regulations and would not adversely affect the existing and/or future permissible uses of adjacent properties. Such greater benefit may include implementation of adopted planning policies/design standards, natural resource preservation/conservation, enhanced provision of utilities, urban design, neighborhood/community amenities or an overall level of increased development quality. (Ord. 18-880, 7-23-2018)

21-2-7.6: MANUFACTURED HOME OVERLAY DISTRICTS:

The purpose of the Manufactured Home Overlay Districts is to provide for overlay zones that will permit the placement, and regulate the permanent or periodic installation of, manufactured homes, tiny homes or recreational vehicles for occupancy as single-family residential dwellings on individual lots or within an approved land lease development. The intent of these provisions is to provide attainable, adequate and diversified housing opportunities within the City of Eloy while establishing and maintaining appropriate development standards.

There are four (4) Manufactured Home Overlay Districts: Manufactured Home Subdivisions, Manufactured Home Parks, Tiny House Parks and Recreational Vehicle Parks.

   A.   Manufactured Home Subdivision (MHS):

The development standards of this district are intended to be consistent with the standards for other single-family neighborhoods developed at similar densities. All public utilities and facilities must be present and adequate to serve the project.

      2.   A minimum of ten (10) acres shall be required to establish the Manufactured Home Overlay Zoning District for a manufactured home subdivision with individual lot sales.

The development standards of this district are intended to be consistent with the standards for other single-family neighborhoods developed at similar densities. All public utilities and facilities must be present and adequate to serve the project.

      2.   A minimum of fifteen (15) acres shall be required to establish the Manufactured Home Overlay Zoning District for a land lease (park model) development.

   C.   Tiny House Park (THP):

      1.   The purpose of this overlay district is to provide a housing product for those inhabitants who choose to reside in a smaller house. The park is expected to include amenities, services and facilities for its residents. All public utilities and facilities must be present and adequate to serve the project.

      2.   A minimum of one-quarter acre (10,800 square feet) shall be required to establish a Tiny House Park.
