(A) Installation standards.
(1) Permanent perimeter enclosure. Manufactured homes as defined in this chapter as requiring a permanent perimeter enclosure must be set onto an excavated area, with foundations, footings and crawl space or basement walls constructed in accordance with the terms of the One- and Two-Family Dwelling Code. The space between the floor joists of the home and the excavated underfloor grade shall be completely enclosed with the permanent perimeter enclosure (except for required openings).
(2) Foundation siding/skirting.
(a) All manufactured or certified mobile homes not requiring a permanent perimeter enclosure shall have an approved foundation siding/skirting enclosing the entire perimeter of the home. Foundation siding/skirting and back-up framing shall be weather-resistant, non-combustible or self-extinguishing materials, which blend with the exterior siding of the home. Below grade level and for a minimum distance of six inches above finish grade, the materials shall be unaffected by decay or oxidation. The siding shall be installed in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations or approved equal standards.
(b) The siding shall be ventilated by openings, which shall have a net area of not less than one square foot for each 150 linear feet of exterior perimeter. The openings shall be covered with corrosion resistant wire mesh not larger than one-half inch in any dimension. The underfloor area shall be provided with an 18-inch by 24-inch minimum size access crawl hole, which shall not be blocked by pipes, ducts or other construction interfering with the accessibility of the underfloor space, or other approved access mechanism.
(B) Support system. All HUD-Code Manufactured Home load-bearing foundations shall be installed in conformance with ANSI and with the manufacturer’s installation specifications. All certified mobile homes not placed on a permanent foundation, shall be installed on a support system in conformance with the manufacturer’s installation specifications or with the Support Systems regulations in the ANSI/NFPA 501A1977 Installation Standards.
(C) Location permits. Note: these replace the building permit requirement.
(1) Requirements. Prior to the location, relocation or establishment of any manufactured or certified mobile home, the homeowner or authorized representative shall secure from the appropriate Administrative/Enforcement Officer a location permit, which states that the building and its location conform with the Comprehensive Plan. Each application for a location permit shall be accompanied by:
(a) Those plot plans as required for all dwelling units, but which at a minimum include elevations or photographs of all sides of the home, exterior dimensions, roof materials, foundation siding or permanent perimeter enclosure treatment, foundation siding or perimeter retaining wall treatment, foundation construction and materials, exterior finishes and the like;
(b) Health department approval for any sewage disposal or water supply, where applicable;
(c) Mobile home park permit approval, where applicable;
(d) A copy of the approved instructions, which will be used for installation purposes, where applicable;
(e) Such other information, as may be required by the Administrative/ Enforcement Officer for proper enforcement of this chapter; and
(f) An agreement signed by the homeowner or authorized representative pledging compliance with the terms set by the Planning Commission in the location permit.
(2) Issuance of permit. After receipt of the information required for a location permit the Administrative/Enforcement Officer shall review the standards set in this chapter. If the applicant has met all required standards, then within three working days the location permit shall be issued by the Administrative/Enforcement Officer.
(3) Additional action necessary. If after receipt of the information required for the location permit, the Administrative/Enforcement Officer finds that the applicant has not fully met the standards set in the ordinance, and the changes or additional actions needed are deemed by the designated administrator to be relatively minor or simple, within three working days a conditional approval can be issued, with the stated conditions which must be met prior to occupancy spelled out, and the reasons for change clearly stated in writing. If the applicant agrees in writing to the further conditions, the effect being an amendment to the application to conform to the requirements, approval is given and the applicant proceeds. If the applicant does not agree, the application is denied, with reasons stated in writing.
(4) Denial of permit. If any of the major elements are clearly out of line with the standards, within three working days issuance of the location permit will be denied, with a written statement specifying the reasons for the denial.
(D) Failure to obtain required permits. Failure to obtain either a location permit or a certificate of occupancy shall be violation of this chapter and punishable under the provisions of this chapter.

The Board of Adjustment shall interpret the amount of parking space required for any building or use, assisted by the following standards, whenever the Administrative/Enforcement Officer is unable to apply the following standards literally or determines a parking space deficiency according to the standard above. In either case, he shall apply to the Board for an original interpretation.
(B) Whenever a building or structure constructed after the effective date of this chapter is changed or enlarged in floor area, number of employees, number of housing units, seating capacity or otherwise to create a need for an increase in the number of existing parking spaces, additional parking spaces shall be provided on the basis of the enlargement or change; provided that whenever a building or structure existing prior to the effective date of this chapter is enlarged to the extent of 50% or more in floor area, number of employees, number of housing units, seating capacity or otherwise, said building or structure shall then and thereafter comply with the full parking requirements set forth herein.
