(A) Intent. This residential district is intended to provide for both low and high population density. It is established as a district in which the principal uses of the land are for manufactured homes, mobile homes, multi-family dwellings, and similar high density residential developments. The intent is to encourage the development and continue use of land for manufactured homes, mobile homes, multi-family dwellings, and to prohibit commercial and industrial uses or any other use which would substantially interfere with the development or continuation of manufactured homes, mobile homes, and multi-family dwellings in this district. It is further intended to discourage any use which would generate traffic or create congestion on the neighborhood streets other than the normal traffic which serves the manufactured homes, mobile homes, or similar residential uses in this district and discourage any use which because of its character or size would create additional requirements and costs for public services which would be in excess of the such requirements and costs of the district were developed solely for manufactured home, mobile home, and multi-family or other similar residential uses.
