   (A)   General. Mobile home parks are permitted in R-2 Zones subject to the provisions of this subchapter. (By definition, the permanent placement of recreational vehicles is prohibited. Vehicles used for the purpose of travel which do not exceed the length of 24 feet may be stored in the rear yard of any residential lot; provided that, yard lot requirements of this chapter are maintained.)
   (B)   Area and density requirements. The developer may be permitted to develop the park in stages so long as he or she compiles with the overall plan approved for the entire tract, and initially has a minimum of two mobile home lots developed for use. The number of mobile home lots permitted In a park shall not exceed 12 per net acre. (A NET ACRE is defined as being the land remaining to be subdivided into lots after the street and other required improvements are installed.)
   (C)   Lot size. Individual lots within a mobile home park shall not be less than 4,000 square feet in area, and in no instance shall more than one mobile home be permitted on a single mobile home lot. The minimum width of a mobile home lot shall be 40 feet.
   (D)   Setback. No mobile home shall be located closer than 15 feet to any building within the park, or to any property or road line. The setback requirements for R-1 and R-2 Districts must be met.
   (E)   Spacing. No mobile home shall be located within 25 feet of another mobile home; except that, minimum end-to-end clearance of not less than 15 feet may be permitted.
   (F)   Streets. All mobile homes shall abut on a street. All streets within a mobile home park shall have a right-of-way of not less than 25 feet and a pavement of not less than 20 feet in width. All of the streets within a mobile home park must be hard surfaced, as set forth in § 152.067 of this code of ordinances.
   (G)   Maintenance of streets. The owner of the park shall maintain the streets and roadways of a mobile home park. Should the lots within the park be sold to individual owners, the county may take over the maintenance of the streets as county streets upon the following conditions.
      (1)   Upon the first sale of a lot within the park to an individual purchaser, the owner(s) of the park must post a security bond assuring the county that the streets and roads within the park meet the standards of Ch. 152 of this code of ordinances. Upon the sale of 60% of the lots within the park to individual owners, the county will assume a proportional cost of the maintenance if the standards have been met.
      (2)   If all of the lots are sold to individual owners, and the streets, and/or roadways meet acceptable standards, the streets within the park shall become city/county streets.
      (3)   The cost of engineering studies and tests to determine the acceptability of streets and roads of a mobile home park shall be borne by the developer, or the owner(s) of lots within the park.
   (H)   Access to public streets and roadways. Each mobile home park shall have one street, which gives access to a public street, highway or roadway.
   (I)   Lighting. All streets within a mobile home park must be well-lighted, and such lighting shall meet the standards of street lighting in the county.
