Identifying information including, but not limited to, the name of the property owner and occupant of the manufactured home shall be provided at the time of application in addition to the submittal requirements of § 93.162.
(2) A SUP shall not be required for locating a new or used mobile home within a (R-6) Mobile Home Park District. Also, a SUP shall not be required in (R-7) Planned Residential Districts and (PD) Planned Unit Development Districts when mobile homes are specifically listed as a permitted use.

(1) Foundations and footings.
(a) Footings must be placed on level, firm, undisturbed soil or compacted or controlled fill that is free of grass and organic materials, compacted to a minimum load bearing capacity of 2,000 pounds per square foot. Pre-owned homes for which the manufacturer of the home is no longer in business or for which the installation instructions are not available may be placed on an existing footing system if the system meets the requirements of this section.
(b) Foundations and footings may consist of the following:
1. Individual pier footings consisting of precast or poured-in-place individual pier footing concrete at least three and one-half inches thick with a 28-day compressive strength of 3,000 pounds per square inch.

(f) A support system approved by a licensed professional engineer.
(2) Skirting and tie downs. Mobile homes shall have a skirting of a fire resistant material and have at least two inspection doors.
(3) Sewage disposal requirements. A mobile home is required to be on a sewage disposal system. No private sewage system shall be smaller in size than 750-gallons’ liquid capacity.
(4) Electrical requirements. Any mobile home shall have a minimum of 100-amp service.
(5) Off-street parking and patio pad requirements. All mobile homes shall provide off-street parking for at least two cars within the lot of the mobile home. This shall be a minimum size pad of ten by 20 feet and shall be of poured concrete at least four inches thick. This shall be connected to a patio pad that will join to the mobile home pad to make a walkway and easy access to each other. The pad shall also be poured concrete at least four inches thick.
(C) Continuance of an existing mobile home. Special use permits (SUP) are valid for five years. After the five years has expired, the property owner may renew the SUP by performing one of the following:
(1) SUP renewal hearing. The property owner shall apply for another SUP hearing in order to continue the placement of the mobile home for another five years.
(2) Administrative extension.
(a) The owner shall schedule an inspection with the Planning and Development Department to inspect the status of the mobile home. If upon inspection the entire property is in conformance with the property maintenance code and the condition of the mobile home is in compliance with § 93.100(B), the Zoning Administrator may grant a continuance of the SUP for a period not to exceed five years.
(b) If there are outstanding violations on a property or the property is considered a nuisance, the Zoning Administrator may deny administrative extension and require that the property seek a SUP renewal hearing. The Zoning Administrator may provide a probationary period to allow outstanding violations to be in compliance within two months of the inspection.
(c) A property shall deemed a nuisance if there have been five or more incidents reported by the County Sheriff's Department during the five years of the SUP's previous placement or extension. Properties that have been deemed a nuisance shall be required to apply for a SUP renewal hearing.
(d) An administrative extension may be granted only if there is no change in property owner and occupant of the manufactured home. Any change of ownership or occupant requires a SUP renewal hearing.
(D) Revocation. Any property that is deemed to be subject to revocation shall follow the procedures outlined in § 93.182.
