(3) A mobile home shall be attached to a permanent foundation system in compliance with all applicable building regulations and Cal. Health and Safety Code § 18551.
(4) The Development Review Committee shall review the exterior aesthetic design of the mobile home to determine that the building will not be injurious or detrimental to the environmental or historic features of the immediate neighborhood in which the proposed mobile home is located, and thereby will not cause irreparable economic damage to property in the neighborhood, to the city and to its citizens.
(5) The mobile home shall be covered with an exterior material customarily used on conventional dwellings and approved by the Development Review Committee. The exterior covering material shall extend to the ground, except that when a solid concrete or masonry perimeter foundation is used, the exterior covering material need not extend below the top of the foundation. See also Chapter 15.32 for provisions relating to mobile home parks.
(6) The mobile home shall have a roof consisting of shingles or other material customarily used for conventional dwellings and shall be subject to Development Review Committee approval.
(7) The Development Review Committee may review specific architectural features of the mobile home that shall be limited to eaves, or roof with eaves, when in their opinion it is necessary to have it comparable with the dwellings in the area.
(8) A mobile home shall be subject to all provisions of the zoning ordinance applicable to residential single-family structures and be occupied only as a residential use type.
(9) Subsequent to applying for the required building permits, and prior to occupancy, the owner shall request a certification of occupancy be issued. Thereafter, any vehicle license plate, certificate of ownership, and certificate of registration issued by a state agency is to be surrendered to the appropriate state agencies. Any mobile home which is permanently attached with foundation to the ground must bear a California insignia or federal label pursuant to Cal. Health and Safety Code § 18550(b).
