It is the intent of this Zoning Code that no mobile home shall be permitted in any zoning district other than in R-3 as a conditional use in a mobile home park, except those which exist in other districts prior to the enactment of this Zoning Code. Mobile homes which are in place on individual parcels (lots) at the enactment of this Zoning Code may continue, provided the following conditions are met:
(a) An existing mobile home is a vehicle or mobile structure more than 40 feet long, on wheels, skids, rollers, or blocks, designed to be pulled, pushed, or carried by motor vehicle on a highway, and designed for living as a one-family dwelling, complete and ready for occupancy as such except for minor and incidental packing and assembly operations, location on permanent foundations, connections to utilities, and the like.
(b) An existing mobile home may be replaced by a newer mobile home of the same or larger size as long as the minimum zoning lot requirements of the district in which it is located are met.
If in so replacing the existing mobile home, it is not physically possible to meet the minimum zoning lot requirements of this Zoning Code, the replacement will be permitted as long as the yard setbacks of the existing mobile home being replaced are maintained. In no way shall the nonconforming yard setbacks be decreased.
(c) If an existing mobile home is removed from said individual parcel (lot) for a period of 3 months or longer, the use of the parcel (lot) reverts to that for which that district is zoned, and no mobile home will be permitted thereafter.
