(A) Land Area: The minimum land area necessary to establish a mobile home park shall be two (2) acres.
(B) Density:
1. Density shall not exceed eight (8) mobile homes per gross acre. If it is determined by the commission that a street widening or terminating dedication is necessary, the amount of land dedicated shall be subtracted from the gross site area when calculating the proposed density.
2. When a mobile home park is located adjacent to a waterway, gross site area shall not include property behind the edge of the bank or the right of way access to the waterway. When waterways are fenced, property behind the fence shall not be included as a part of gross site area.
(C) Yard Requirements:
1. The setback required in each instance shall be a line parallel to and measured at right angles from the front, side or rear property line. The front and rear building setback lines shall extend the full width of the property. No building, structure or mobile home shall be located so that any part extends into the area between the building setback line and the property line. Fences and signs may be placed within the aforementioned area as an exception to this subsection.
2. Mobile homes and other structures within mobile home parks shall be set back at least ten feet (10') from any interior property line. The setback from any abutting public street right of way shall be at least twenty feet (20') from the property line.
3. In any required yard through which there is vehicle access between a public or private parking area and a street, no fence, wall, hedge, or other vegetation shall be permitted which materially impedes vision from a public sidewalk to vehicles backing from said parking area(s) across the public sidewalk.
(D) Boundary Development: An ornamental sight obscuring fence or wall of not less than five feet (5') nor more than six feet (6') in height, and/or earthen berm not more than three feet (3') in height together with evergreen planting is required to surround the mobile home park in instances where the commission decides such requirement will enhance the successful operation of the park and the surrounding area, and/or secure safety of residents. Such fence, wall, berm, or planting may be placed up to the property line if adequate vision clearance for entrances and exits is maintained.
(E) Parking Requirements:
1. There shall be two (2) vehicle parking spaces at least nine by twenty feet (9 x 20') for each mobile home space, with clear and unobstructed access to an accessway. Any parking space in the accessway shall not fulfill this requirement.

(F) Access To Public Street: A mobile home park must have two (2) points of access to a public street or streets having not less than sixty feet (60') of right of way width. Each park shall have not less than sixty feet (60') of frontage on a public street, except as authorized by the commission. No mobile home space shall be located in such a manner that a public street must be used to maneuver the mobile home into that space.
(G) Emergency Sanitation Facilities: Each mobile home park shall be provided, for emergency purposes, with the sanitation facilities as prescribed by state law.
(H) Service Buildings: Service buildings which house sanitation facilities shall be permanent structures, complying with all applicable city and state statutes regulating building, electrical installations and plumbing and sanitation systems.
(I) Structures: Structures located on any mobile home space shall be limited to a storage building, ramada, garage or carport. These structures may be combined as one structure. No structural additions shall be built onto or become a part of any mobile home, and no mobile home shall support any building in any manner. The words "structural addition" shall not be construed to exclude the construction of an awning or patio cover adjacent to a mobile home. All structures shall be of a material, size, color and pattern so as to be compatible with the mobile home to which they are associated.
