(A) Intent. This section details the process by which mobile home parks and manufactured home communities (MHP/MHC) are approved and the regulations which apply to them. MHP/MHCs are residential facilities and involve the creation of individual-use sites or lots without the need for subdividing or platting the land. For the purposes of this subchapter, MHP/MHCs shall be defined as any tract of land upon which four or more units are located.
(B) Zoning and design considerations.
(1) For the purposes of these regulations, MHP/MHCs shall be constructed only on land classified as R4 residential district and shall be subject to all lot size, height, setback and other requirements as established by this chapter for such district.
(2) To ensure adequate design and circulation, and to ensure that state-mandated, health- related standards are met per I.C. 16-41-27-1 through I.C. 16-41-27-34, plans detailing the proposed MHP/MHC shall be submitted for approval by the Advisory Plan Commission at a public hearing before the required permits can be issued for the work.
(3) MHP/MHCs shall be considered a major subdivision and shall be subject to the submittal and approval procedures as outlined in this chapter and the town’s subdivision control ordinance.
